Until Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941, the Signyms of America were arguing that it is none of America's business what Japan does to China. Momentarily, a declaration of war got the votes of Republicans, but they immediately blamed President Roosevelt for causing the Japanese to attack.

Pearl Harbor and the “Back Door to War” Theory
https://www.britannica.com/event/Pearl-Harbor-and-the-Back-Door-to-War
-Theory-1688287

The Republicans refused to vote for a declaration of war on Germany, but Hitler handled that by declaring war on the US. Everyone should remember what a bunch of worthless assholes Republicans are. Europe gets invaded by Germany but Republicans don't see a problem. The UK under attack for years but that is not a problem for Republicans. What was a problem was Lend-Lease. Opposition to the Lend-Lease bill was strongest among isolationist Republicans in Congress, who feared the measure would be "the longest single step this nation has yet taken toward direct involvement in the war abroad". The vote was largely along party lines. Democrats voted 236 to 25 in favor and Republicans 24 in favor and 135 against.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease#Lend-Lease_proposal

Congress has NOT passed a Declaration of War since WWII because Republicans won't vote for it since they are a bunch of fucking cowards. See Trump cheating his way out of serving in Vietnam. Or George Bush joining the Texas National Guard. Biggest fucking cowards to be President. All his bluster can't hide that Trump is a scared fat man.

When we're attacked, we should respond.

OTOH, it's apparent you know very little of the origins of WWII.

Germany's fundamental slide to "national socialism" began with punitive war reparations that Germany had to pay for WWI. That led to widespread poverty and even starvation, social decay, and hyperinflation.

JAPAN'S attack on the USA was bc we blockaded Japan 100% from essential commodities, especially oil.

BTW- We have never been an "isolationist" nation. How do you think we acquired most of our land (invading native nations), the southwest (Mexico), Philippines, Puerto Rico, (Spain), involved ourselves in numerous "banana republics“, promoted the creation of Panama, and involved ourselves in WWI?

Signym, did you notice that Germany stopped paying reparations many years before it invaded Austria? The reparations did NOT cause the invasion. Germany's poverty was caused by the goddamn fools that previously ran Germany before Hitler, who was not going to stupidly continue paying reparations. Germany ceased paying reparations for World War I in 1933 when Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party came to power, but a new set of goddamn German fools resumed payments in 1953, with the final payment made on October 3, 2010. Signym, you understand nothing and you won't read what actually happened, will you?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I_reparations#Modern

Signym, your understanding of Japan is even more screwed up. The United States imposed an oil embargo on Japan in 1941, which effectively cut off its access to US oil, as a response to Japan's aggressive actions in Asia, particularly the occupation of French Indochina.

In the 1930s, Japan expanded its influence in China, leading to the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. By 1940, Japan occupied northern Indochina, a move seen as a step towards capturing oil supplies in the Dutch East Indies.

US Response:
To counter Japanese aggression, the United States began restricting the export of war materials from the US to Japan, including scrap metal, steel, and aviation fuel.

Oil Embargo:
In July 1941, after Japan occupied French Indochina, the United States, along with the British and Dutch, froze Japanese assets and effectively enacted an embargo on oil sales to Japan.

Impact on Japan:
This oil embargo significantly impacted Japan, as it relied heavily on US oil imports. The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) estimated it had less than two years of bunker oil remaining, which led to the existing plans to seize oil resources in the Dutch East Indies.

Signym, none of this history is esoteric nor hard to understand but you managed to reverse cause and effect:

You didn't crack any code, no more than tax-cheaters cracked the code to reduce income taxes.

6ix, you did with Medicaid what Trump did with the IRS, you both lied. 6ix about his assets. Trump about his income.

For Indiana Medicaid: Asset limits are also in place, with a maximum of $2,000 for single individuals and $3,000 for married couples.
https://www.google.com/search?q=Does+Indiana+put+a+limit+on+Medicaid%3
F

Asset Limits: In addition to income, Indiana Medicaid also considers an applicant’s assets when determining eligibility. Assets include cash, bank accounts, investments, real estate, and certain personal property. Certain assets may be exempt, however, from consideration, such as a primary residence (up to $713,000), household items, and a vehicle. As of 2024, the asset limit for a single applicant is $2,000 but, again, applicants should verify this figure with the most recent guidelines. Indiana uses a five-year look-back period that effectively prevents an applicant from transferring assets during the five-year period prior to applying for benefits in anticipation of the need to qualify for benefits. Medicaid planning can help you plan for eligibility while protecting your hard-earned assets.

6ix, the other "facts" you list are also lies, same as the lies you and Trump told to get on Medicaid and not pay income taxes.

Trump’s Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Income Tax Avoidance

By Russ Buettner, Susanne Craig, Mike McIntire

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/09/27/us/donald-trump-taxes.h
tml

The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due.

Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750.

He had paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made.

As the president wages a re-election campaign that polls say he is in danger of losing, his finances are under stress, beset by losses and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt coming due that he has personally guaranteed. Also hanging over him is a decade-long audit battle with the Internal Revenue Service over the legitimacy of a $72.9 million tax refund that he claimed, and received, after declaring huge losses. An adverse ruling could cost him more than $100 mi

Germany was NOT occupied after WWI. Whatever suffering the Germans endured was the fault of the German government. But after WWII, the Germans suffered because of a deliberate decision to increase their suffering:

The United States and the Refusal to Feed German Civilians after World War II

http://artemis.austincollege.edu/acad/history/htooley/WiggersGermanFoo
d.pdf

. . . But this benchmark was deliberately ignored when it came to planning for the occupation of Germany. The first step towards a retributive food policy was taken during the fall of 1944 in response to a draft SHAEF handbook that suggested that German civilians be guaranteed a base ration of 2000 calories after the war.19 While the authors of the handbook were naturally preoccupied with the postwar rehabilitation of the European economy, this particular undertaking struck officials in Washington as being far too soft and constructive.20 President Roosevelt proposed a much harsher food policy in its place: the Germans "should have simply a subsistence level of food—as he put it, soup kitchens would be ample to sustain life—that otherwise they should be stripped clean and should not have a level of subsistence above the lowest level of the people they had conquered."21 Soviet officials also proposed that the Allies limit grain and food production in postwar Germany, and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau conceived of a similar program that would limit the civilian population "to a subsistence level."22

Even State Department planners believed Germany should be guaranteed only bare subsistence for a period of at least several years after the war and not immediately brought up to the level of the other European states that had been the victims of her wartime aggression and occupation.23 Secretary of State Cordell Hull concluded that "it is of the highest importance that the standard of living of the German people in the early years be such as to bring home to them that they have lost the war and to impress on them that they must abandon their pretentious theories that they are a superior race created to govern the world. Through lack of luxuries we may teach them that war does not pay."

. . . In the end, tens of millions of Germans lived through at least several years of malnutrition and deprivation in the wake of the 1945 surrender. It is unlikely that any historian will ever be able to calculate how many civilian deaths can be attributed—either directly or indirectly—to the prolonged suffering that prevailed in postwar Germany. What is certain is that many more POWs and civilians suffered and perished than needed to in the aftermath of World War II, and that the victorious Allies were guided at least partly by a spirit of postwar vengeance in creating the circumstances that contributed to those deaths. Having returned from a tour of devastated Germany in 1947, British socialist and writer Victor Gollancz attempted to put the best face possible on these and other Allied actions:

I have criticised in this essay our treatment of Germany. It cannot be criticised too strongly: for these policies for which we have been jointly or solely responsible—annexations, expulsions, spoliation, economic enslavement, non-fraternization and starvation—are more in the spirit of the Hitler w

Oh, so you think that YOU cracked the code here, huh?

Do you think I would be stupid enough to tell you or anybody else online in writing that I was on medicaid when there is an asset check for it?

"Hey Siri! What is the asset limit for Indiana's Healthy Indiana Plan, otherwise known as HIP?"

Quote:
The Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP) has no asset test for eligibility, meaning that your assets do not affect your ability to qualify for the program.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Eligibility:

HIP is for Hoosiers ages 19 to 64 who meet specific income levels, but there is no asset limit.

Income Limits:

Individuals with annual incomes up to $21,603.00 may qualify.

Couples with annual incomes up to $29,197.80 may qualify.

No Asset Test:

Unlike some other Medicaid programs, HIP does not have a limit on the amount of assets you can own to be eligible.

Benefits:

HIP provides comprehensive coverage, including vision, dental, non-emergency transportation, chiropractic services, and Medicaid Rehabilitation Option services.

"Thank you Siri. As always, you have been most helpful."

And I'll also add to this that there are currently zero work requirements for the plan and they don't even ask you to even apply for any jobs, let alone prove that you're looking. The ONLY two requirements are the age and income requirements.

As for you, Second...

Shut your stupid fucking mouth.

You have yet to ever once say anything intelligent with that voice.

The government knows exactly what they need to know, and I've never once lied about my assets or my income because I know very well what happens to you WHEN and not if you get caught and you're not a minority or illegal alien.
