Your supposed to remove one item, but he never removes the clown wig.

Since Medicare is mostly administered by private insurance, the only thing most people will likely notice is more denials of things the program will claim as 'nonessential', much like how private insurance is already denying claims.
I do have to laugh at the Republicans who were sooo afraid of death panels. Guess what morons... The insurance companies ARE the death panels.
We could have had a universal healthcare system decades ago. But the private sector hates to lose its profits. Just to be clear, a for-profit healthcare system does not benefit the sick. It benefits the shareholders. This should be abundantly clear, as the Big -------- Bill did NOT go after the waste in Medicare Advantage.

Unfettered capitalism is parasitic.

COBRA is just pure venom, so aptly named.

So glad big medicine reaches only the exploitable.

Censored - Did your AI crap a brick with those arguments? ZAKA are reliably dumb, I dunno why you choose their side.

So I'm thinking there really is not anything in the bill about medicare per se. Which makes OPs headline a lie, and indicates the flow of democrat angst is actually an act, in support of another irrational propaganda operation. If any medicare spending is modulated it would be because of obama's PAYGO act, not trump's big shiny bill.

What percentage of recipients are children unable to work? It's near 50%, btw.

This will definitively cut Medicare for millions of children, at minimum.

Excellent advice, bro.

It would be hilarious if Bernie crashed a Kristi Noem photo op.

Up until this moment we can only presume the numbers exceed 100,000 souls killed.
#43 | Posted by redlightrobot
Well, that's higher than I expected you to answer. So Israel has killed fewer Palestinian civilians than the Palestinians deliberately murdered on October 7th.
Not that those numbers actually matter since deaths of Palestinians are incidental to military purposes, while the Palestinian murders of Israelis were intentional war crimes. But thank you for finally ponying up a number for the Palestinian October 7th atrocities.
#45 | Posted by censored at 2025-05-21 02:12 PM

How can Palestinians commit war crimes when Israel doesn't recognize Palestine as a nation or a military? I don't even believe they possess an airport or a naval fleet. This isn't a secret that Israel refuses to recognize any nation of Palestine and have ruthlessly fashioned Gaza into a prison.

What military purpose does the Hannibal Directive propose? To kill Israeli captives and ensure escalation against Palestinians. Blatant war crimes.

You have no answers or ability to defend Israeli war crimes. You never touch Where's Daddy, Lavender or US intelligence having precise statistics.

What "military purposes" constitutes eradication and displacement of an entire people?

Are you claiming that Israel doesn't rely on precise strategic outcomes regardless continually crowing about their weapons use precision and "humanity"?

They are lying about both the statistics AND the rationale?

It would appear so, right?
#37 | Posted by redlightrobot
Lol, OK champ.
And how many Israeli civilians did the Palestinians rape and murder on October 7th?
Only putting one question here so your failure to answer will be entirely obvious to even the most useless of Useful Western Idiots.
#38 | Posted by censored at 2025-05-21 01:51 PM

When independent investigors are permitted inside of Gaza and Israel without being embedded inside IDF we might get answers.

Up until this moment we can only presume the numbers exceed 100,000 souls killed.

Mass rape has been claimed many, many times and has been disproved many, many times.

There are cases independent of the military assault and of course we have the IDF regularly sexually abusing humans in their custody, so it would appear that this issue has deeper relationship to the Israeli prison system and code of ethics.

Your ZAKA talking points are not a reliable source for impartial data.

What do you think prompted Gallat to issue Hannibal Directive? Whom was being "saved"?

Musk's garbage at it's flamiest.

Only corporate Democrats approve this corruption.

Precisely. The hostages were killed only moments away from release. Their bodies indicate care was taken to maintain their health.
#31 | Posted by redlightrobot
So you're claiming that the Israeli's offed their own civilians to stop the Palestinians from releasing them? Without actually saying it because Allah hates a liar?
Your logic is a flawless as always!

Saint Louis is obviously in Missouri, my editing derp.

How can such a vital system that impacts multiple states immediately entering hurricane season be considered "waste, fraud and abuse"?!

Insurance agencies should sue Musk.

"Censored - IDF appear, bombing and shooting their way to allegedly "free" hostages doesn't seem counter-intuitive to you? The Palestinians kept these people alive up until the very moment IDF begin their assault. Convenient enough for the simplest among you."
You mean the Palestinians would rather murder Israeli civilians in cold blood rather than lose them are bargaining chips? Yes, clearly the Jews are to blame for not negotiating with terrorists.

Precisely. The hostages were killed only moments away from release. Their bodies indicate care was taken to maintain their health.

You freely admit that [blah, blah, blah]
#25 | Posted by redlightrobot
You really have no point, do you? And you freely admit to nothing, which pretty much admits that you deny the Palestinian atrocities.
But we already know, with your proclaimed belief in Tara Reade's ludicrous accusations again Joe Biden, that you have a tenuous connection with reality, at best.
Anywho, back to the middle east festivities. The last 3,000 years was just a fluke; it will definitely be resolved in the next couple weeks.

I admit the Zionist plague is a death sentence to humanity, particularly as the current manifestation exists as a funnel for weapons trade and a platform for nuclear retaliation.

Christians will turn away and when that finally does happen the US public will turn away from Israel entirely.

AIPAC is already being seen for what it truly is, and so is Netanyahu.

Eventually they will be condemned.

They're starting to learn (hopefully) that focusing solely on money and profit is a terrible way to go through life.

I don't want anyone to be denied "necessities".

This distinction between "make great again" and "being great" is lost.

As far as I am concerned the hoarding of "necessities" is the greatest mooch of all.

Billionaires do not need to exist as gatekeepers preventing an equal and fair society.

Neither does the denial of "necessities" given freely to all.

If you ever lived one day without food I believe you would change your attitude.

Try doing that every other day and still laugh at that thought.

Censored - IDF appear, bombing and shooting their way to allegedly "free" hostages doesn't seem counter-intuitive to you? The Palestinians kept these people alive up until the very moment IDF begin their assault. Convenient enough for the simplest among you.

You freely admit that IDF rape prisoners. This has been an allegation for decades with a mass of evidence.

Israeli are murdering their dream of security and peace, imo. That behavior isn't favored by anything other than actual anti-Semites and ulta-nationalists.

Which kind of Zionist are you?

As for how are compassion and humanity relevant - they aren't.

You don't really pass the Voight-Kampff in my view.

The one word not found in the lyrics is "illegal".

Probably because that wasn't even a concern for most of our nation's history (at the time that video was made). The vast majority of people in that audience were descendants of immigrants who went through almost no formal process, relatively speaking, for moving to this nation.
History of laws concerning immigration and naturalization in the United States
During the 18th and most of the 19th centuries, the United States had limited regulation of immigration and naturalization at a national level.
en.wikipedia.org
I find it truly perplexing, though, that you would think liberals disfavor immigration, legal or illegal, compared to other American political ideologies. Do you have any factual basis for that conclusion?
#19 | Posted by censored at 2025-05-21 07:31 AM

Why do you have such a myopic view of the citizens of Gaza and not the audience of a Neil Diamond concert?

That should be explanation enough.

Limiting access to even inexpensive solutions is precisely what caused extreme backlash toward the Biden administration.

The FDA makes for a rather large pyre, imo.

"can you find any images of Palestinians being helped by IDF?"
Can you find any image of Jews being helped by Hamas. Helped being relieved of the lives of their children, maybe? I can point some of those out for you, if you'd like:

For someone who has a phobia about admitting to a single Palestinian atrocity on October 7th, your fixation on numbers is curious.
#20 | Posted by censored at 2025-05-21 11:13 AM

So glad you asked. The returned Israeli have all been intact and healthy. None of the Palestinian hostages returned have been treated with as much humanity.

That is a fact.

Imo, Zionism has already been undermining security or longevity for Yisrael Anyplace.
#10 | Posted by redlightrobot
But yet Israel wouldn't exist without it. And the Muslims threw the Jews out of their land, both a couple thousand years ago, and in the last 80. Why no right of return for the Jews?
And no numbers from you on the Palestinian's October 7th atrocities. Of course.
#14 | Posted by censored at 2025-05-20 04:48 PM

Like I stated, not being a native or Jewish you might find Norman Finklestein's insight to Israeli history more depthful than the Zionist narrative.

There is an entire history prior to "October 7th atrocities".

Since the death toll is not made available to you can you find any images of Palestinians being helped by IDF?

What makes a surgeon turn into a Nazi?

Why isn't there an accurate count of the dead? Is the Where's Daddy inaccurate? Or Lavender? Is the US intelligence inadequate?

Someone must have a realistic number, the fact that it is hidden in plain sight..

"Progressive policies" is so malleable that it's meaningless.
#25 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-05-21 12:33 AM

Do you lump all Republicans in the same camp? Why would you do that with Democrats?

What is the point and how does that impact children?

Progressive policies are popular.

All Democrats will claim progressive policies.

Not all Democrats are Progressive.

Honestly, NPR and PBS need to go the way of the Dodo bird. As for Netflix "saving" the program from big bad Trump ... Per The Hollywood Reporter ...
Way down on the list of Sesame Streets revenue streams, by the way, is the U.S. government, which ponies up only about 4 percent " less than $5 million a year " in grant money.

Do you have one yet? For the Israeli civilians the Palestinians deliberately targeted for rape and murder on October 7th? Dead Israeli civilians are Ok in your book, but don't harm a hair on a Palestinian, even if it's incidental?
What are you getting your nose bent out of shape for? Weren't you doing the dance of joy a little over a year ago, assuring everyone how the Palestinians were going to come out on top in this war that they started?
