It is states controlled by Republicans that will be kicking people off of Medicaid. Those states hated the idea that Covid was a public health emergency ("PHE" in the legal jargon) and hated that Congress forbid kicking people out of Medicaid during the PHE. That you would think this Medicaid eligibility (more legal jargon: "continuous enrollment requirement") was about lack of money, then blame Ukraine rather than Republican state officials administering Medicaid, is so very you, 6ix.

You couldn't even understand how funny that is to a guy who lived off of $7,200 in 2022.

Seriously, Second... Thanks for starting my Christmas off with a belly laugh and a smile.


Each year The Economist picks a “country of the year”. The award goes not to the biggest, the richest or the happiest, but to the one that improved the most that year.



I would certainly hope that they improved.

It would be like giving Rookie of the Year status to a guy who was shot up with horse steroids all year by his coach while the media turned a blind eye to that and the corked bat that Sammy Sosa gave him, all while the stadium they played in crumbled around them and they couldn't afford to repair it because his salary ate up all the revenue.



Fuck Ukraine.

When Medicaid became law, the states would administrate the program, doing the tedious paperwork that Republicans in Congress insisted be added to the law to exclude what Republicans think are "undesirables" from Medicaid. In the states controlled by Republicans, such as Texas, Republican state officials do what they can to exclude "undesirables", but in the original legislation there was an escape clause to thwart Republicans: the Federal government could, temporarily, override the local Republicans during a PHE (public health emergency). Local Republicans have always wanted to kick "undesirables" from Medicaid, but they also want to blame it on Ukraine or Democrats, not themselves and their own mean-spiritedness.

Nope. You can't explain this one away.

Democrats own this one. They had the power. They didn't need to open the doors for any states to cut people off of Medicaid in April of next year, but every single one of them voted for that this week.

19 Million American's will be thrown off of Medicaid in order to fund over $900 BILLION in military spending, including the $45 Billion going to Ukraine that alone could end world hunger for an entire year.

Merry Christmas, America!

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the Grinch who stole your children's medical insurance in April.

Merry Christmas, Citizens of Earth!

Fuck your hunger. Democrats would rather watch you starve to death and team up

Just as an aside: SECOND's mind-bent hate and KPO"s (AKA G AKA CAPN ) sleazy lies are enough to turn any sane person with working neurons off of whatever cause they espouse. They're just too disgusting.

Try the truth, gentleman. You'd get a lot farther.

Too early! Christmas is on January 7th. Some Ukrainians, who usually celebrate Christmas on January 7, as do the Russians, have changed their tradition as a reaction to Russia’s war.

Some Orthodox Ukrainians decided to observe the festival celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25 like members of Western Christian churches.

In October, the leadership of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which is not aligned with the Russian church and is one of the two branches of Orthodox Christianity in the country, agreed to allow the faithful to celebrate on December 25.

“What began on February 24, the full-scale invasion, is an awakening and an understanding that we can no longer be part of the Russian world,” Olena Paliy, a 33-year-old resident of Bobrytsia near Kyiv, told AP.

President Vladimir Putin says Russia’s offensive in Ukraine is being carried out to “unite the Russian people”. Putin used the concept of “historical Russia” to argue in an interview to be aired on Sunday that Ukrainians and Russians are one people. Russia’s “geopolitical opponents were aiming to tear apart Russia, the historical Russia”, Putin said in excerpts from a broadcast for Rossiya 1 national television.

“Divide and conquer, that’s what they have always sought to accomplish and are still seeking to do,” Putin said.

Estimate of U.S. Post-9/11 War Spending FY2OO1-FY2O22

$8 trillion

Posted on September 1, 2021

https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/figures/2021/BudgetaryCosts

Why is the U.S. not sending troops to Ukraine? Because sending troops to Afghanistan and Iraq caused over $2.2 trillion in obligations for veterans’ care over the next 30 years.
