So will the ICE goon squad interfere and screw up a major sporting event? Well, they’ve already threatened the Super Bowl and that’s about as major as they get.

No doubt in my mind that his death was a government sponsored hit job. Not a single peep about it in the news or from the Department of Defense lately. Such high profile, such lack of information.

That is their intention. The inflatable animal costumes are a genius rebuttal. Just imagine how silly it would look to be trying to arrest them. The costumes should be mass produced and given out for free.

Pretty words, now back them up for a change, talk is cheap, actions are needed to foster any significant results.

I don’t trust him or his followers to not attempt to start trouble at peaceful protests in order to provoke a violent response from the various policing forces.

He wishes he still had that much hair. He might repost this himself.

The extreme hubris of those who are convinced that they and their opinions are infallible and immutable. I hope I’m still here to witness it when the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

I should have mentioned that if the government makes up the difference the republican reaction is the same. They don’t want the healthcare providers or the government to pay. They want the people to pay.

That’s it exactly. If the beneficiaries pay less the providers earn less.

Another bad idea among the hundreds of other bad ideas from this second trump administration. It’s always shoot from the hip and blame the democrats for the inevitable consequences.
