I think it's going to be much higher. Most rural hospitals are heavily reliant on Medicaid funds, the same is true of nursing homes. These rural heathcare deserts will be exacerbated by the MAGAt party killing their own constituents because gawd forbid they don't deliver billionairs their tax cuts. Next up, the David Caradine version of Death Race, where the hospitals and nursing homes wheeled their patients into the street to be run down by the racers. MAGAts are pure scum.

I have been thinking this for awhile but more so lately that Dotard seems more and more divorced from the day to day operation of the WH. He does his trained seal stuff in front of the cameras but often seems surprised by the EO he is about to sign or completely oblivious to major news stories central to his administration, such as the four soldiers who died in training in Lithuania. I believe he is nothing more than a quickly deteriorating figurehead and Pee Wee German Miller is the power behind the throne. It's why all of a sudden the place is leaking like a paper condom about power spats, we're hearing about shouting matches between Elong and Bissent and Navarro. Combover Quisling appears more and more detached, medicated, tired, suffering from dementia. There's a great photo of him dead asleep during one of his NKoria style cabinet meetings with his fat maw wide open. I wonder if he was snoring. Reminds me of the Nazi Germany episode from Star Trek TOS "Paterns of Force."

#20 One of my favorite episodes. I was about 10 years old when I saw it the first time. It encouraged a long fascination with WW2 history and to be a History minor in college. One of the worst days in my life was the day our professor in The History of Nazi Germany course opened by saying he would play video for the next hour, and we were welcome to leave when we felt we had seen enough. He then ran the videos taken by the Allies when they liberated the death camps. No narration or music, just the raw videos. I stayed the full hour with tears rolling down my face wondering how humans could do that to each other. Now I realize we are in that same place, only this time the out group is not Jews but Latinos.

I saw a DHS briefing paper on TdA, the Venezuelan gang that is supposedly invading the US. There is no specific gang tattoo, instead DHS is claiming that tattoos of trains or clocks or clowns are gang tattoos. They supposedly also like to wear Chicago Bulls and Jordan gear. Literally tens of millions of people wear that stuff. JFC, they are sending people to a concentration camp torture prison in El Salvador based on a guess as to who is a gang member...brown skin, tattoo, Bulls hat, must be a ---------er. For years local police have tried to make inroads into immigrant communities by building trust. Now that our ranks in LE are getting browner, I see a real opportunity, except DHS is screwing that up. By causing fear and distrust in the Latino community ICE and DHS are hurting their efforts, because nobody will come forward to report suspicious activity to the police.
