The richest man in the world calls people who get help from government programs the “parasite class.”
But Medicaid’s beneficiaries aren’t parasites. Half of them are children.
If we’re talking about people who depend on government, Elon Musk is the biggest “parasite” of all.

JD and 47 are being disgusting. As Z tries to argue truth (in his second or third language) they attack him. So repulsive. I hope my co-citizens see through the lying and the biased spin.

RFK Jr.'s "radical transparency" means ending a 54-year-old transparency policy
The Nixon-era policy gave the public the ability to comment on HHS decisions relating to “public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts.“ RFK Jr. ended that on Friday.

Putin's proposed "peace" plan: Ukraine demilitarizes (gives up its right and ability to defend itself), accepts all Russian-occupied territory in Ukraine, and submits to denazification. We all know that Russia started the war, Putin is the dictator, and it is Russia that truly deserves the N-word.
