Man, that is a damn shame; makes me want to . . . cry? No, that's not it. Makes me wanna holler? Yeah, a little bit. I think though, that it makes me want to make popcorn and enjoy the dark, bitter taste of schadenfreude. 🍿
"If ... patients did have the right to sue, the courts would be overwhelmed by endless lawsuits from other Medicaid patients suing for their right to see the providers they want."
I can think of a really simple, easy way to avoid that problem ... but then again I'm not a country-fried Republican legislator.
Let's see what happens with this captive court. We could always get a pleasant surprise!
And of course, always remember these laws and initiatives come into play in these state-based unreconstructed terror regimes because controlling the sexual agency of women (and punishing them for such) is a big key to power.
So the global economy is about to do the ant under the magnifying glass routine, and Mad Lord Yam merrily waved as he hopped in Marine One for a long weekend of watching other people hit golf balls.
This is actually more promotional. He helped Saudi Arabia buy our golf and he's still helping out. Probably has a big stake in it somehow. I haven't watched golf since. Insanely rich assholes playing golf? Going to have to nope out of that. And what a great visual that will make for orange infected anal wart to watch golf as people watch their lifesavings disappear. Stupendous strategy.
The Institute for Museum and Library Studies board has been dissolved and three states have already had Federal grants rescinded. It feels very totalitarian that he is targeting cultural institutions first. My stomach feels sick.
OT, sorry, but WHAT? (this popped up just now at The Guardian: "California’s Democratic representative Eric Swalwell has joined in a handful of lawmakers in criticizing Donald Trump’s latest tariffs"
a handful of lawmakers?? are they just posting this shit to make me choke on my own indignation?
yeah, absolutely he's helping and doing good. It's the headline that is making me self-heimlich; this nonsense rivals my "Some Critics on the Left" snark.
Alito and Roberts. Thanks again, Ralph Nader (who assured us there was no difference between Al Gore and George W. Bush).
Did they forget to do the feet-stamping and breath-holding?
Ta, Robyn. The War on Women continues apace.

Luckily this is NH, so my weekend plans are unaffected.

It will be half a loaf because it will then be used by conservatives to do shit like force states to cover harmful quackery on the same grounds.
You know who has large stock portfolios? Congressional representatives.

Don Jr. has been very quietly lately. Did someone give him a swimming pool full of coke to keep him distracted?
The Metro Nazi recognizes that the situation is volatile enough to attract all kinds of attention and he's not going anywhere near that.
I'm picturing Scrooge McDuck meets Tony Montana.

smoking lamp is lit!

Cultural institutions give a voice to the vulnerable minorities that the unreconstructed hate, and it keeps them frothing.
This taking-back of already awarded $$$ is indicative of authoritarian aggression.
Drumpfenfuehrer is demonstrating vicious vindication and there are no adults in the room to slap his hands and send him to bed.
And none wee voting atomic bombs in Merde-a-Liardo.
Shite.
It is very totalitarian, straight out of the playbook.
And the saddest fucking thing about it is that it is there for all to read, over decades, centuries, and millennia.

OT.
Although I think we have been Liberated from most of the rules I think.
One thing I didn't see yesterday, is that none of these tariffs actually went into effect at midnight. Most kick in on Saturday.
I was wondering why the Dow wasn't lower, that will be why.
Prepare for it to drop even further on Monday, if Trump hasn't been stopped before then.
I don't know how it was up yesterday, when they knew this was coming right after the closing bell.
It's called a dead cat bounce. Will probably happen again tomorrow. It's a sign that the upswing is weak.
Self-delusion is very powerful.
They desperately want the Republican Party to be its old 'pro business' self. They cannot even begin to think about how its become a cult to Trump.
that's my question also
They lied to themselves about there being a plan.
There is no plan, just an angry stupid asshole who never got over his father being an abusive monster, who now gets to lash out at the whole world.
Facing reality is really really difficult, because at best reality isn't very nice.
This is the kind of insanity that inspires people to write books.
Lovecraft type books.
It’s the kind of insanity that inspires people to get involved in a land war in Asia.
Given the choice, I think I might prefer Yog-Sothoth over Dumb Donald. The All-in-One and One-in-All at least was honest about its intentions.

Maybe I still have time to get a car
He won't be stopped.
Silver stake to the heart, well-done, with ketchup
Well not by Saturday, unless the flying spaghetti monster has a really warped sense of humor.

Handful of Repug senators actually, plus all Dems. Only 4, but it was enough.
Misleading headline. He's actually acting, helping to block a whole lot of nominees.
yeah, absolutely he's helping and doing good. It's the headline that is making me self-heimlich; this nonsense rivals my "Some Critics on the Left" snark.
SO is it 25th Amendment time? Or is Congress going to get its shit together?
I made a funny..!
Last I heard, Brother Mike took his ball and went home.
They're all still fighting over who's driving the clown car.
all of them Katy
The 25th Amendment action would require a Cabinet of people who put the good of the nation above Donald Trump, so...
Putin?
Plus a majority in both chambers.
Ed Zackary!
You know, I have to wonder...
If that very pin is pulled, would fuckface have to report to New York for sentencing as a private citizen?
I'm betting the very prospect of both scares the ever-living shit out of him.
The Judge already folded on that one before he was sworn in.
