Cool... So the Class of 2038 will be taught that the moon landing was fake and that PizzaGate was a thing...


That is probably the scariest revelation this week 0____0
 
So, the awesome health plan is an executive order against surprise billing and an executive order for coverage for pre-existing conditions? Are you fucking kidding me?

Said pre-existing conditions "should" be part of any health coverage.

Doesn't say they have to be or will be.

I read most of that executive order. Its mostly bullshit Trump clapping himself on the back about what a great job he's done. So really, nothing new.
 
From an old uno post I remember:

”Again, executive orders fill in the gaps left by Congress.

The pecking order is:
Constitution
Statutory law
Executive actions

Laws cannot violate the Constitution, and executive actions cannot contradict the Constitution or statutory law. But if the law says "people wearing red are banned," the President can define what constitutes red if Congress didn't. Maybe it includes maroon, or pink, or orange, or anything that includes a bit of red in the digital color scale.

The judiciary gives wide berths on immigration and national security issues, but if this doesn't count as enacting a law respecting religion (as brent argues) or violating the national origin provision of the 1965 law, then the court is simply being a rubber stamp at this point.”
 
Is it really that fucking hard for the GOP to publish a fucking health plan? And why the fuck would anyone vote for them if the don't? They literally ran against Obamacare for years and probably gained power in the country by doing so and got away with it.

All while NEVER EVER EVER coming up with a health plan of their own.

I guess they just do it all to own the libs cause they certainly do not have any policies that help anyone except extremely rich people.
 
Drain that swamp! https://www.propublica.org/article/...-drug-company-involved-in-his-government-role

The former pharmaceutical executive tapped by President Donald Trump to lead the administration’s race to a COVID-19 vaccine is refusing to give up investments that stand to benefit from his work — at least during his lifetime.

The executive, Moncef Slaoui, is the top scientist on Operation Warp Speed, the administration’s effort to develop a coronavirus vaccine in record time. Federal law requires government officials to disclose their personal finances and divest any holdings relating to their work, but Slaoui said he wouldn’t take the job under those conditions. So the administration said it’s treating him as a contractor. Contractors aren’t bound by the same ethics rules but also aren’t supposed to wield as much authority as full employees.

Slaoui agreed to sell stock worth $12 million and resign from the board of Moderna, the developer of a leading potential vaccine. But Slaoui insisted on keeping his roughly $10 million stake in his former company, GlaxoSmithKline, another contender in the Operation Warp Speed vaccine race. “I won’t leave those shares because that’s my retirement,” he has said. GlaxoSmithKline, working with Sanofi, has started human trials for a coronavirus vaccine using similar technology to Sanofi’s flu shot. It is supported by up to $2.1 billion from the U.S. government.

The GOP healthcare plan is Don't Get Sick. If you do get sick, it's your personal responsibility for letting it happen and your problem alone to deal with.

This is the correct answer. It's really staggering but it makes sense. Everyone thinks they're going to be rich some day and they all want the ability to be a self centered selfish ***** when they do it.

Problem is, too many people start practicing that before they become rich.

Something is changing in the national psyche, though. Between 1950 and 1980 it was embarrassing to be poor in America if you were white. It felt like it was your own fault. But ever since the vampire squid was unleashed on us people know they are being raped by the 1%, and that the system is a con. Even conservatives know it, though they have been duped to blame Jews or Liberals or some other distraction. 90% of the country now understands they aren't going to be rich because the rich get richer and systematically abuse the poor.

The only thing keeping the dam from breaking so far has been racism and fundamentalism. The Right has been able to redirect their constituents' anger using their hayseed bigotries and religious idiocies. And they may be able to hold them in darkness indefinitely -- those people lap that stuff up. But my god, if the white and black Poors in this country ever got together for one night, there wouldn't be a bank or a mansion unburnt by morning.

The ACA made law that pre-existing conditions are covered. Trump is currently embroiled in a lawsuit working to repeal the section of law covering pre-existing conditions.

His Executive Order doesn't change anything, other than buying Medicare recipients a vote in exchange for a one time $200 gift card to reduce drug costs. With no mention of where the $8.8 Billion will come from to give that gift card to all 44 Million current Medicare users.

Yeah it's an order that won't stand up in court to preserve something already guaranteed by legislation that he's trying to overturn and remove in court.
 
Re: NY Times releasing in depth article that unveils Trump's taxes, and how much of a con-man.

Also, I believe I recall our board security experts mentioning how national security clearances aren't given out people who could be influenced by outside governement agencies, because they could be a risk. (ie: having a metric sh**-ton of debt and a foreign governement offering to make those debts go away if you do favors for them... a quid-pro-quo if you will...)

Can any of our board security experts step up and explain the NY Times article?
 
You think any seniors are actually gonna see those cards?

Where's that 10% middle class tax cut we were gonna have after the mid-terms?
