It has already started but in weeks Jack will have nothing to hide behind. And since he doesn't work, and he explained how a government policy allowed for him to keep his house, I'm sure he is going to lose it in the near future. His hero Trump will see to that.

Quote:6ix, just for the record, you are an over-articulate retard, but then tens of millions of Americans have the same crippling mental shortcoming, one which strongly attracts them to Trump and even stronger, predicts they will struggle to prosper in America and frequently fail.

The false part of the story was the idea that Amazon was going to do this in the first place. Not only wasn't it going to do this, but it is not capable of doing this.

Republicans Kicking Americans Off of Medicaid

-medicaid
There are 42 House Republicans who won their seats last November by 15 points or less (see below). These are the most vulnerable Republicans. Meanwhile, Democrats have been outperforming their districts by an average of over ten points in special elections so far this year.
Combine these data points with the growing backlash and as you can imagine, some House Republicans in swing districts (and not-normally-considered swing districts) are understandably nervous about ripping healthcare coverage away from up to 60% of their constituents (that’s not a typo . . . check out CA-22).
The optics look even worse for Republicans when Democrats have been successfully calling attention to the huge numbers of children, the elderly and the disabled who rely on Medicaid.
So, what’s a Republican House member to do? They have to have their massive tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires, after all; that’s not even up for debate in their minds!
The “solution” to Republicans’ problem in their eyes:
Republicans are out there proclaiming that “able-bodied” adults don’t deserve coverage, that the 90% federal match rate for the expansion that made it financially viable for states sucks resources from “traditional” Medicaid beneficiaries (it doesn’t), that defunding the expansion is just cutting “waste, fraud, and abuse” — that is, that low-income adults without affordable access to employer insurance are effectively human waste.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. When Justin Trudeau resigned at the start of this year, Canada’s Liberals appeared to be heading for the door after almost 10 years in power.
The opposition Conservatives were in a strong position, with a 25 point lead and an easy attack line: that any Liberal candidate would be no different to Trudeau, who had become increasingly unpopular.
But those fortunes changed dramatically in the months leading up to the election and now Mark Carney, former Bank of England governor, has declared victory.
That’s largely down to one phenomenon: the return of Donald Trump as US president.

No, it wasn't suppose to go down that way.
Trump managed to do something that a lot of Canadians haven't seen in their lifetimes. Unite the entire country from coast to coast to coast. Even Quebec was pissed. So, he managed to piss off almost every since Canadian. Guess we should thank him for that maybe.
I have a friend whose daughter is unfortunately one of those idiots who voted Conservative and is now crying in her beer towel.
NEVER 51. CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE
At the end of the day, Canada has just about zero say in the matter.
Once we stop offering military aid to everyone, they're all going to go bankrupt paying for free healthcare and anything else they're looking to fund on top of their own defense budget.
Canada has no leverage at all here, and I suspect there will come a day where Canada is asking us if they can join. I hope at that point the answer is no.
Wrong Jack, Trumps' power is waning.

Trump's Michigan "rally" of less than 3,000 people in a half filled arena was yet another disaster, as most of the crowd left half way through, and Trump spent 90 minutes defending his failed first 100 days by attacking, what else, "communist left wing judges" and changing his tariff policy while literally on Air Force One on the way to the rally to pander to the skimpy crowd.
I'm not aware of anybody campaigning or any pending election.
People got shit to do like working on a Tuesday. Republican voters usually work for a living.
I'm the exception to the rule.
It's easy to fill up arenas for AOC when you have a huge pool of angry unemployed people with nothing better to do that you can bus in.
"Overall job loss by end of term: According to USA Today, approximately 4 million fewer people were employed at the end of Trump's term compared to when he took office. The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) notes that the year ended with 9.8 million fewer jobs than before the pandemic and 546,000 fewer jobs than at the start of his presidency."
Trumps employment record first term. This term is going to be much worse.

That was all the doing of the Democratic Party, and most of those jobs were recovered before Joe Biden* was inaugurated.
*yawn*

Yup. Let's pretend like that didn't happen every day on the Harris Campaign trail that wasted $1.4 Billion for nothing.
Nobody gives a shit about your rallies, son.
The Democratic Party is dead.

Are you telling me there was 30,000 people in that convey? You better try again. And by the way, they were vans not buses. 10 people to a van, let me see, that would be 3,000 vans needed. Like I said dummy, try again. Ever see one of Trumps caravans? Another fact, Elon Musk spent 288 million final count on Trumps election, so eat shit.

Remember, Kamala was vice president with staff and protection. Also, a lot of the state's democratic leaders and volunteers.

Nope. Just illustrating that this is what the Democrat Party does, and shoving it in your dumb fucking face is all.
Your party is dead, Ted.
And you helped kill it off.
Thank you for that.
Just keep on doing exactly what you've been doing. It's working out excellent for me so far.

“The unifying principle” of Trumpism, wrote Ben Tarnoff in February, “is the abdication of adulthood’s defining obligation: to take responsibility for oneself and others.”
More Babies!
Trump and his set act carefree in the face of catastrophe—and they give their supporters permission to do the same.
By Ben Tarnoff | February 7, 2025

The week I became a father, two things happened. Fires engulfed the Amazon, and a man who made his living as a columnist for the largest newspaper in the country complained to a university provost that a professor had called him a bedbug on the Internet. This was the world into which I welcomed my first child: a place where people with power behaved like children while the planet burned.
Five and a half years later, our civilizational outlook has not improved. It is not just the fires, floods, zoonotic diseases, and other insignia of ecological emergency. It is also the discomfiting spectacle of a leadership class so extravagantly unfit for the task at hand. Incompetent rulers are nothing new. They are one of human history’s main themes. What feels more specific to our time is the extent to which our leaders have responded to a moment of severe and proliferating crisis by regressing into a childlike state, and encouraging their followers to do the same.
In 1933, the year that Hitler took power in Germany, the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich proposed that fascism begins at home, in the domestic sphere. The first authoritarian state is the family, he argued, ruled by the father. Here children learn the submission to authority—and the identification with it—that makes a good fascist subject. The idea proved influential for later thinkers trying to map the psychology of authoritarianism, and it has an obvious kernel of truth. In our own extremely desublimated era, one doesn’t have to look very far for verification: “It’s like Daddy arrived and he’s taking his belt off,” a ruddy Mel Gibson gushed the other day on Fox News about Trump’s visit to Los Angeles, during which he had scolded Karen Bass, the city’s mayor and a Black woman, at a press conference.
But Trump is poorly cast for the part of patriarch. While he glowers in his official portraits, his political style is more silly than stern. He babbles. He is a creature of impulse and instinct, fickle and dysregulated. His humor is that of the schoolyard; his train of thought is, at minimum, haphazard. If you have ever heard a toddler tell a story, it sounds like Trump: digressive, bizarre, filled with tonal shifts, often hilarious. His inner circle exudes a similarly infantile affect. Elon Musk is nothing if not a smirking preadolescent. J.D. Vance looks uncannily like a baby, which is presumably why he decided to grow a beard, with the result that he now looks like a bearded baby. “Let me say very simply,” he told an audience of antiabortion fanatics in his first speech as vice president: “I want more babies in the United States of America!”
It is stressful to be young. The world is confusing, the process of fitting oneself into it long and painful. But these difficulties are offset by certain pleasures, chief among them the relative absence of responsibility. If children misbehave they can be punished, but in moral and legal terms they are not accountable for their actions to the same degree as adults are. When people feel nostalgic for their childhoods, even when they had bad childhoods, this
