    I hope someday to see a hero get caught with this photo but there are red x’s over the ones he’s already taken out.

    I wonder what the combined financial net worth of this photo is because the calculation for the combined human value shown in this photo is easy

    That is zero

    Every single one of these people is a human rights violator and should be tried for such, along with being some of the most corrupt, hateful people in history.

    As an Australian I am constantly amazed that no matter how racist, homophobic, greedy, stupid, selfish and blatantly self-serving America’s government representatives are, you continue to vote for them.

    We arent so committed to the red vs blue ideology. If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.

    Unfortunately, the way things are going, your vote might not make a difference for much longer.

      Doesn’t the coal industry control your government? And remind me where Rupert Murdoch came from.

      If I vote for blue one term and they don’t perform I’ll vote red or green or independent next term.

      uh, I’m pretty sure that’s a factor to how America got to the way it is.

        To be clear, Australia is not perfect by a long stretch, but our politicians are much more discrete in their desire for enrichment, we also have a lot more guard rails in place to prevent it, while they are in office.

        While there is obviously big business trying to influence government decisions, that will always happen regardless of who we vote in. My point is, if the person you vote for isn’t clearly concerned with improving the lives of their constituents you should absolutely fuck them off and not continually vote for them for decades.

        I’m sure they already know who they are. Republicans have tried to kill those that depend on social safety nets for decades.

    Can anyone specifically point out which pieces on the bill will remove healthcare from Medicaid. I was reading through and haven’t found those parts yet. I was focusing on the rescinding for green energy tax credits.

      Work requirements. Other states have done this before. They all canned it because they found out, work requirements don’t increase work. It decrease the use of those that qualify. It increases paperwork which can be rejected by errors.

      You also have the SSDI part. Most people that are disabled don’t qualify for SSDI.

      I personally know someone that had double kidney failure. This is from a direct issue the U.S. government caused acknowledged. However, they don’t what to make it easy and hope the people just die. Which is a very strong possibility. They DO NOT qualify for SSDI.

      Next time they get sick, they will die. Point Blank.
