You want quicker results? Repeal THIS:

" ... (Wisconsin) election officials can't process absentee ballots until Election Day."

THAT's WHY it takes longer in the most populous area.

Fact is, the authors of that rule want DELAY to equal DOUBT.

Also on the decoy plane: Marco Rubio.

*...only days after finding out she'd been left on a decoy plane targeted by Iranian death threats"

Yikes!

Was the new blonde in the cart with Trump?

"...the Trump Kennedy Center, as it was then temporarily known -- subsequently sued Redd for breach of contract, only to have the suit thrown out in June."

And d'you know why? It's because he'd NEVER SIGNED A CONTRACT to appear on 12/31/25.

It takes a special kind of stupid to claim Breach of Contract when they can't even find the contract he's breaching.

Don't they teach that in law school? Like, in Evidence 101???

"I never give 2 ----- about the reported inflation rate."

How much is the REAL inflation rate in your household? Ours is closer to 6%.

Of course, we like car travel and good steak..

" In other words, health insurance costing $20 in the year 2005 would cost $27.85 in 2026 for an equivalent purchase"

To clarify: "For an equivalent purchase" is carrying A LOT of weight in that sentence: It means for that customer...aka you, 21 years younger. If he was 26, and now you're 47, you're not going to get that #26 rate plus inflation. You get the rate for a 47 yr old, plus inflation.

Meaning, in the real world, it was 1.59% annually, PLUS the normal annual increases due to age.

Even in a year with 0% medical inflation, your bill still goes up next year, since you're a year older than "that guy" last year.

"Just to be clear, insurance rates are still increasing quite a bit faster than inflation."

True.

But not 4x inflation. At the current 3.4% rate, medical inflation would have to be 13.6%.

Full disclosure: I don't believe inflation is ONLY 3.4%. I believe the current administration is fudging the numbers.

"including by banning mail-in ballots and certain voting machines"

Anyone want to bet on which and where? My money's on minority areas in swing states.

No one will check on Wyoming, Alabama, or West Virginia.

"Democrats steal another election"

Whoa.

Don't you have to prove the first claim, before using the word "another"???

When are you planning on submitting the first piece of evidence inside a courtroom that 2020 was stolen? Because to date, team Trump has never once utter the word "fraud" inside of a courtroom. Only from podiums, where it's OK for them to lie. Once inside a courtroom, there must be proof to utter that word.

Why is it: no one from team Trump has ever uttered the word "fraud" inside a courtroom??? My theory is using that word WITHOUT proof can get a lawyer sanctioned, disciplined, jailed, or worse.

What's your theory?

"The one that made insurance companies richer?"

Before O'Care, you could Google "health insurers report record profits" and ANY YEAR, and get proof.

The trajectory was unsustainable, with medical inflation rising at 4x the rate of inflation in the ten years prior.

Then, in the first year of O'Care, I got a rebate, since my insurer paid out less than 80% of its premiums.

The insurance companies are richer, no doubt, but O'Care did the one thing most needed: it tamped down the rate increase trajectory.

One last note: even if prices remain the same, your prices go up every single year. Why? Because you're a year older than that person last year. 54yr olds always pay more than 44yr olds, and always less than 64yr olds. Even for the same product.

"There is a Disincentive to have kids"

Huh?

We have the EITC (a child-rearing subsidy), the Child Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the Child Care Benefit, Head of Household status, (All child-rearing subsidies), the American Opportunity Credit, and the fact childless couples pay into the public school system the same as the family with six kids.

How much more are you expecting?

"...no new government programs or tax changes."

No tax changes? Well, I know several tax changes that will save TRILLIONS.

Seriously.

Like not extending trillions of dollars of tax cuts when you know it will require trillions of NEW BORROWING to pay for the tax cuts. Voila!

"Of the projected $138 trillion budget shortfall over the next 30 years, $109 trillion is from Medicare."

I've said since I started posting on this blog: the cost of Medicare will ultimately force us into single-payer.

Here is the math.

"Whether they are or whether they aren't..."

So the short answer is NO.

"if there is any truth to it, some of the people involved could be foreign nationals, government officials, or other individuals whose public exposure could create serious diplomatic and legal consequences."

Which specifically breaks THE LAW Trump himself signed.

"I realize liberals tend to have an inflated sense of moral superiority..."

Duuuuude. You support a known pedophile protector. I don't think you get to preach to others.

"Your hatred of America..."

Why are you lying, Bill?

For example, Bill ... Are you intelligent enough to admit that Donald Trump and his allies are clearly protecting a bunch of high-end pedophiles?

Who mentioned psychiatry?

I was talking IQ ... or lack thereof.

" You didn't need a crystal ball to know that trump was a lying psychopath. An IQ over 100 would have done that for you."

Well, that leaves BillJohnson out.

Will they negotiate with 48???

"What you're failing to admit is that this war was already in progress when Trump took office."

What you're failing to admit is Obama's deal was better than ANYTHING Trump can get.

" Will (the new agreement) be better than under the JCPOA?"

We had an answer for that in negotiating parlance:

NFW.

And no, I don't need a crystal ball to see that.

"The jacket is no big deal."

It certainly was when Trump got the diagnosis of bone spurs.

" The millionaires and billionaires are raking it in right now."

That's why Trump said we're living in the greatest economy of all time.

Not for you, mind you. For him.

" I'm not suggesting Muslims shouldn't come to the US. What I am saying is they must not turn America into the culture they came from."

BillJohnson had to log off because he's going out tonight for sushi. And tomorrow: Taco Tuesday.

But DON'T bring your culture to America!

"Yeah, its the taxpayers problem to come up with recommendations and solutions "

No, not the taxpayers. Just this author. He's the one bringing up what he clearly sees as problems. Problems caused by folks being too kind to the homeless.

There could be all kinds of possible solutions. Why does the author not bother???
