Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 6/16/25, 7:57 am

Did you go to the No Kings protest on Saturday? What a delight to be among so many people. To chat and see signs. To hear great speeches and to just show out. Fantastic. Thanks to you for showing up and to the organizers and volunteers.

    The contrast of the No Kings protests everywhere to the vanity parade was amazing.

    The Trump administration is taking steps to ban Democrats from receiving V.A. health care:

    ‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans

    Department of Veterans Affairs says the changes come in response to a Trump executive order ‘defending women’

    Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump.

    The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to psychologists, dentists and a host of other occupations. They have already gone into effect in at least some VA medical centers.

    Medical staff are still required to treat veterans regardless of race, color, religion and sex, and all veterans remain entitled to treatment. But individual workers are now free to decline to care for patients based on personal characteristics not explicitly prohibited by federal law.

    Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.

    Imagine living in a country where the dictator bans people who voted for his opponent from receiving medical care.

    The VA rule change doesn’t ban Democrats from VA facilities or health care. It’s more like a Master Cake Shop rule: If the doctor doesn’t like Democrats, he doesn’t have to treat them.

    But what if it’s a first step toward a more draconian rule? Say, an executive order saying no money can be spend on providing health care to Democrats?

    Is this king dictator president capable of that?

    Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday his department would withhold funding from cities where anti-ICE demonstrations were allowed to take place.

    This blatant First Amendment violation should be, and presumably will be, immediately blocked by the courts.

    Way more than most.

    High heels and shoe lifts, buckets of spray tan, gallons of pancake makeup, eyeliner, lip gloss, multiple hair plug transplants, daily hair color treatments, spanx and girdles, diapers, Adderall, and a full time Photoshop team. And he still sounds like a drunken baby.

    The Bulwark just interviewed Terry Moran which has this great excerpt from the interview he did with orange pants shitter:

    https://youtu.be/kpAscuiibVo?t=1033

    Whatever you might think of Moran (I don’t think much of him myself), this was a perfect illustration of the shitforbrains that conned its way into the White House. fucking twice.

    Yeah I know the moronic kreep of widbee orgasmed itself when Moran was fired. Whatever.. Moran describes himself as that “most despised political tribe – the centrist”. And it comes out in the interview so I’m not impressed with him. But he made a “mistake” (in the corporate journo world) and spoke the truth about baldy Miller forgetting to keep the quiet part – quiet.. there’s consequences for that.

    A “business decision” was made.

    Here’s something interesting about Canada:

    About 15 percent of all Canadians supported joining the United States as of a January poll by YouGov. That percentage was slightly larger in the prairie provinces, including Alberta — “Canada’s Texas” — where some say they have more in common with Republicans in the U.S. than with their compatriots in the rest of the country.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/06/16/trump-canada-51st-state-backers/

    I heard a lot of Albertans immigrated to Canada FROM TexASS to work the oil fields. But that was secondhand, hearsay. Could be mistaken. I know peeps there in the prairie provinces are pretty always wrong wing, that’s all I care to know.

    pants shitter sent out yet another deranged social media rant about “teh illegals” and deportation.. zzzzZZzzzzz..

    the most sickening part was its emphasis on the cities..

    the plan seems clear to me..

    for cheap labor in the rural pants shitter loving places – little to no enforcement..

    cities.. gestapo shit.. swat gear, unmarked vans, tear gas, painful non-lethal rounds, illegal hijacking of national guard and military and a lot of lies and noise from pants shitter and its sicko phants like baldy Miller, Noem and Whiskey Pete..

    disgusting.. somebody will leak the eppie tapes eventually and then we can deal with jerkoff dickbrane bowman.
