As part of the broader deal Fat Hitler and MAGA are cutting with Bukele and others to help stabilize and consolidate their own regimes, the DOJ just cut a deal to resettle 17 of the most violent and dangerous “MS-13” members of the Sinaloa cartel family members of El Chapo in quiet U.S. communities, hopefully on Whidbey Island.

@10
I need to see you social media profile NOW!
The Wisconsin judge who dumbcunted her way into a decision that laws do not apply to her when she helped a woman-beating violent illegal alien to (briefly) escape detention by ICE has been indicted.
@15 So basically he was disappeared into a hellhole, held for weeks without due process, tortured and taunted, and then abruptly released when his family found out where he was.
His “crime”? A DUI conviction years ago. Which makes him one of Trump’s “very bad people, savage criminals.”
Say, didn’t someone just post above about the Trump regime letting a whole cartel kingpin family into the U.S.? How much did Trump get paid for that?
The only thing Trump and the GOP have going for them is half the American public is illiterate and doesn’t read any news, but that’s all they needed to seize power and act like assholes with the full weight of federal law enforcement behind them.
@15 I guess he wasn’t White Afrikaner enough.
So, it’s not just the current president who wants to cut free health care funding for illegals.
It’s the dude who wants to be the next president doing it, too:

I’ll spoil the fun. It will last until True Gretch forces him out of the primary.
Under President Newsom, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit will statutorily be euthanized because there isn’t enough health care funding to go around to everyone, because it’s being used to treat the AIDS affliction of the illegal alien who raped Welfare Queen YLB’s youngest and most promising fucked kid.

Meanwhile, it’s obvious Trump is selling foreign policy decisions for personal gain. His worthless crypto coins and media company stock, the golden tennis sneakers and other junk he sells for exorbitantly inflated prices, etc., are vehicles for bribery; and the hotel concessions and airplane are bribes. This is plain as day to anyone with eyes, and the Supreme Court and Republican Congress give him permission to do it. The buyers are Persian Gulf states like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar; and his shifts in Middle East policy fit to a “T” their Christmas shopping lists.

… deeper Medicaid cuts.
What Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit intended to write is that able-bodied Medicaid recipients would have to do a bit of work, sooner, in order to continue to receive Medicaid benefits.
He doesn’t know this because he didn’t read the piece to which he linked. He never does. Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit is a lazy, useless, bloviating fuck.
@59 If you had any capacity for critical thinking you would realize “work requirements” are a ruse. Most Medicaid recipients are either working poor, elderly in nursing homes, or children. They’re either already working or they can’t work.
There isn’t remotely $700 billion of “waste, fraud, or abuse” in the Medicaid system. It follows that they can cut that much from Medicaid only by changing the eligibility rules or putting up barriers to getting Medicaid benefits.
The GOP swindlers chose the latter. In reality, “work requirements” are nothing more than a paperwork burden designed to push eligible recipients off the Medicaid rolls. Not only that, they’ll save no money at all, because administering them will cost more than they’ll save.
This is exactly what Democrats say it is: Republicans are taking health care away from tens of millions of the neediest Americans to pay for tax cuts for the rich. And maybe also a military parade for Trump and a new jet for Kristi Noem on the side.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: On paper, UNH doesn’t look like a greedy corporation. Since 2019 its profit margin has consistently been about 6%, which isn’t what I’d call excessive. However, some remarkable stats appear in Value Line’s last UNH report (dated Feb. 28). Since 2019 its revenues, earnings per share, and dividend all have roughly doubled. There also have been stock buybacks. So if UNH management has been ripping off Medicare, the money went to (1) executive salaries and bonuses, and (2) shareholders. So while corporate greed isn’t reflected in the profit margin, it shows up on the bottom line. The outside shareholders, of course, were clueless and innocent, but now they’re suffering a catastrophic loss of stock value, while the execs will get to keep their inflated salaries and bonuses. But who knows, maybe some of them will go to prison.

@ 62
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit would have you believe that United HealthCare doubled its revenues because it doubled its prices.
He’s full of shit. UHC doubled its revenues because it bought other companies’ revenues:
In doing so it also dramatically increased its debt:
Sometimes, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, to catch a clue you have to read a bit beyond what the Value Line sheets tell you, although had you read all of what Value Line has to tell you it should have been possible for you to figure out where the UHC revenue increases came from.
You are a useless, bloviating fuck, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. Small wonder you have blown your family’s chance at a good life.
Comey claiming not to know that 8647 was code for taking out Donald Trump is as believable as Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s claim that he didn’t know that eggplant is a slur against black people when he used it in reference to a black person.

@68
Never outspoken of your own. You have no conviction, just partisan bullshit.
@67 Where does the word “prices,” or any reference to prices, appear in my comment @62? Please be specific.
The dumbfuck troll sure likes to make things up and put words in other posters’ mouths, doesn’t he?
@68 Doesn’t take much to trigger Republicans, or Doctor Dumbfuck, does it?
I didn’t know “86” is Mafia jargon, or what it supposedly signifies, until I read the Newsweek article the doctor helpfully linked us to. Neither did Comey, who replied on Instagram, “I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.”
But evidently a lot of Republicans, including the president’s son, are familiar with Mafia doubletalk. which makes you wonder who they’ve been associating with.
Comey didn’t create the purported “message,” he merely saw it on a beach and posted a picture of it. If his photo is a crime, then so are images of crosshairs on Democrats. The geese sure are making honking noises that sound like, well, geese.
#hypocrites
Will Clint Eastwood be prosecuted for this scene? What about scriptwriter David Webb Peoples? Or actor Richard Harris? They’re all just as guilty as James Comey. For that matter, Doctor Dumbfuck is guilty, too, of linking to a magazine article with a picture of the “message.” I mean, really, how far can folks run with this … ?
It seems an unusually high percentage of Kari Lake’s Senate campaign donors want their money back.
By the way, has anyone noticed there’s a pattern of Republicans attacking free speech? Which includes
– Kidnapping a foreign student off the street for criticizing Israel in a college newspaper editorial
– Kicking the Associated Press out of the White House briefing room for not adopting Trump’s “Gulf of America” nomenclature
– Attacking academic freedom by cutting off federal research funding to universities and threatening their IRS status
– Threatening to “investigate” James Comey for posting a picture of what someone wrote on a beach with seashells
@62. The spark sometimes comes from out of nowhere.
There is the problem. A middleman making ANY profit on seeing a doctor, kind of a necessity of life, is fucked up. That people are ‘investing’ in keeping people from obtaining a necessity of life is parasitic.

@76 Insurance plays a legitimate role in society. You have car insurance, and home or renter’s insurance, right? Insurance spreads risks. The healthy help pay the bills of the sick so no one is bankrupted by an illness.
As with any other private enterprise, a private insurance company needs to make a reasonable profit to attract capital. The shareholders have to be paid for the use of their money.
The only insurer that doesn’t need a profit is the government. Government programs operating on insurance principles are the best deal around. Privatizing that insurance raises costs to consumers, because then you have to add a profit margin.
Republicans hate anything they can’t make money from. That’s why they oppose Security and Medicare. They used to like food stamps because Republican farmers make money from that program.
@77 You can buy an “8647” t-shirt online. Are they going to arrest everyone who does? Of course not. They’re singling out Comey because they don’t like him.
This is Baseball Rules. As they see it, prosecuting Trump was like our pitcher hitting their batter. (Never mind he’s actually a criminal, and was crowding the strike zone.) The unspoken rule in baseball (Dumbfuck, a former minor leaguer of no note, knows this) is that if a pitcher hits a batter, the batting team’s pitcher will hit one of the pitching team’s batters in retaliation. That’s what this is, they’re getting even for the charges brought against Trump by going after people on the liberal side.
It’s a game. A hardball game. They’re throwing a fastball at Comey’s head. The thing is, they’re no good at it, and they miss most of the time.
I don’t recall what position Dumbfuck played in the minors. He may have posted it, but I don’t recall. If he was a pitcher, probably most of his pitches went into the stands, although he may have killed a catcher and umpire or two. Accidentally, of course.
@ 76
A middleman making ANY profit on seeing a doctor, kind of a necessity of life, is fucked up.
