Joe Ferguson forever

This is why we have MAGA https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/03/the-wealth-of-the-top-1percent-reaches-a-record-52-trillion.html

Trickle down has been tried many times with poor results. Over 1/2 the country lives paycheck to paycheck. The trickle never makes it that far down. The other 49% who do pay taxes generally pay a much larger percentage of their income than the 1 %. The system is purposefully, forever in their favor.

The tax laws are often changed. Almost always in favor of the rich. Closing loopholes for them would be welcomed by the 99% if messaged correctly. Trump located them with minuscule , short lived breaks of their own. Perhaps D’s could do the same while increasing taxes on the rich.

It needn't be.

But they are paying taxes and into social security.

Would be good if we could hear her response.

John Boy and Billy radio show had a bit with a gay character. At the end of the bit he'd say "off to the mini cooper!". Very funny show (The big show) which was is syndicated out of Charlotte. Has a very conservative bias but it's worth checking out. I'd say a 10 and I'm straight. Who doesn't like $1 mimosas at brunch?

Have ICE investigate all mini cooper owners.

remember when trump said he'd never heard of project 2025? that was awesome....

Despite the white house propaganda machine, 17% more americans blame trump than democrats for the shutdown. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5534532-poll-shutdown-trump-republicans-blame/

did you post your condemnation? there's your opportunity.

So my mixed breed comment got your panties in a twist while a pic of jeffries in a sombrero doesn't?

the emergency medicaid for hospitals is to try and stop hospitals, especially rural hospitals, from going belly up. I think that could easily be negotiated away in exchange for for continuing subsidies to folks buying insurance on the exchange thru the ACA. Legal aliens and asylum seekers can get medicaid. That could also be negotiated and is likely what all the D's in the debate were responding to. But trump shows up to negotiations with a 2028 hat...

One line in a document without context. Could your analysis be any more superficial? the line likely referred to this but you won't see it in the propaganda you digest. "In March, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service's list of so-called "qualified aliens" who were eligible for Medicaid coverage included only lawful immigrants: legal permanent residents, refugees, people granted asylum, people granted humanitarian parole including Ukrainians and Afghans, certain Cubans and Haitians and certain victims of human trafficking and domestic violence, among others. Even among the "qualified aliens," several groups were required to wait five to seven years after their arrival in the United States before they could become eligible, according to an April 2025 report by Congressional Research Service"
