Now do a 60 yr old woman who was a contractor with Amazon and therefore no benefits who has a 20 yr old son and now has breast cancer. Do that math. That’s my best friend.

But what about La Bamba and Gloria Estefan??

Just a day ending in Y now in America, which is so large for a mass protest to be effective in has to be preordained & that limits its effectiveness. To offset the actions by the regime there has to be actual consequences. DJT is telling the courts to F off. What can we do?

Yeah and ICE sprayed pepper spray into the inflatable fan vent. Then a couple days later someone in the same costume showed up and they were all taking selfies. Fucking assholes

Hitler died April 30, 1945. Trump’s birthday is Jun 14, 1946. Do you ever just think people are reincarnated???

Doocy: "So the Democratic position is that illegal immigrants should not have any access to taxpayer-funded health insurance?"

Sen. Mark Kelly: "Federal law is that undocumented individuals do not have access to medicare, medicaid, food stamps, or the ACA. That's the law."

Trump is looking at 2028 and he has to figure out, how does he circumvent or avoid the rule that he can't run again. I think one of the ways he's going to do that is to create what's perceived to be a real crisis in America."

We are secretly judging you. We are annoyed that you are standing there photographing us once again. You could be fetching us some catnip or duck pate. We are the descendants of apex predators, human.

Not to mention that the following day Argentina signed a deal to sell soybeans to China. You we paid to screw our own people.

stats on health care coverage in America. Only 30% of small businesses offer HC Benefits. It was about 47% but the excessive costs & ACA has caused the % to drop. the notion that someone on Medicaid can get HC from employers is crazy. There is already 27MM w/o HC insurance = 8% which will go up now

So when an American travels abroad they should not expect care because they are on foreign soil because they are a burden on that health care system. So don’t have a heart attack in Mexico or break a leg in Italy or have an accident traveling in France.

And when the farm foreclosure rate and bankruptcies hit, big agribusiness companies will buy up more farmland and control more of the food supply. Yet again Trump favors his big business cronies who are looking for a big payday which will turn American farmers into sharecroppers
