      Actually the death panel was fired so your application for health care is just sitting on a empty desk somewhere. But we’re working hard to implement Trump’s idea for a health care plan. Hang tight, bootstraps are the best health care anyways. - love MAGA.

    Heh that’s the final nail? Wait til rural hospitals and clinics start closing due to lack of funding. No you wont get a MRI for $20, the hospital will just close because its no longer as profitable as it could be.

    Trump on murder spree of infants in MAGA states? Hmmph. That’s not what I voted for.

      It’s not what I voted for, but it’s what they voted for whether they knew it or not.

        Who was doxed? And was it a person, or a function? Did you ban OP because of that? Was it not sufficient to edit/remove the comment?

          Home address of a person listed in the article. We do not allow doxing. Ban is temporary.

            That sounds strange? On a quick read, I see no obvious “evil healthcare CEO” who someone might want to dox?

              Not the CEO, the PATIENT. Regardless, posting a link to anyones home address is removable and bannable. If it’s malicious, as we saw with some of the Luigi type stuff, that can be a permaban.

                That sounds like a really weird approach by OP.

                With regards to Luigi etc - well - that’s a different topic. At some point, peaceful protest doesn’t work anymore - the core question of debate is when that point is reached.

                  Yeah, in this case OP was like “well, she shouldn’t have voted Republican” and linked to her voter registration with home address.

                  No. Just… NO.

      the first mistake is being a Republican

      You’d never know Louisiana had a Democrat in the governor’s mansion as recently as 2024. The whole state is condemned to this horror because liberals pooched a single election cycle and then lethargically handed dictoral power to a madman.

          Because of Bush’s masterful handling of the storm? Way to go guys.

            No, because of the Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco’s handling of the storm.

            Similarly, the mayor of New Orleans at the time, Ray Nagin, was a Democrat.

            The locals definitely blamed them a lot more than Bush, which is fair, the hurricanes had been happening for decades and nobody had even so much as drawn up a plan to use school buses to evacuate those without vehicles. The plan was always “better hope you own a car, bitch!” which really isn’t a plan at all.

      You’re assuming that registration = vote, when that’s not necessarily the case. In areas where Republicans are the majority (like Louisiana) it’s not uncommon for left leaning people to register and vote in the Republican primaries and then vote Democratic in the election, because the only real time they have a voice in the political process is trying to get the least shitty Republican on the ballot.

      Do I know that’s what happened here? No. And neither do you. It’s a victim blaming distraction from the fact that this administration is allowing disabled children to suffer and die.

        Yeah, this is me. I live in a district that will 100% without a doubt always go red. It’s gerrymandered to hell and back, and a democrat has absolutely zero chance of winning here… So I register R, and vote for the least crazy republican in the primaries. Because that’s the only time my vote will actually have any impact on the result. Whoever wins the republican primary will win the district, (and any democrat would be better than the crazies coming out of the Republican Party), so I try to influence the former as much as possible. Then I vote blue in the general so my stats are counted as a blue vote.

    I wonder if it’s really hit most poor Republican voters yet why the GOP is just ruling like there is no tomorrow? Why they seem to be on the ultimate corruption bender and living like there’s no consequences for their actions.

    Like it feels like they’re the kid that still holds out some hope even though their parents left to go buy cigarettes almost 9 months ago. I’m sorry, but they’re not coming back for you.

    If you could ask them why they abandoned you, they would just give you some vague excuse about bootstraps and say they’re teaching you to be self reliant.

    A lot of people are going to die. I hope we put all elected officials on public mob trial for these deaths.
