Welcome To The White Christian Nationalist Presidency

Who cares, if next year’s bill puts restrictions on who can vote? They will come up with something.

That’s it all right. Very apt.

I look forward to its overwhelming presence on remainder tables at Costco, BJ’s and Sam’s Club…

UnitedHealth secretly pressured nurses to change patients’ records to include DNRs (Do Not Resuscitate) without their consent, so those patients would die instead of being saved with medical interventions that could cost UnitedHealth money. This is murder. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

Cost-cutting tactics The secret bonuses were just one of many maneuvers UnitedHealth devised to track and cut expenses in its nursing home initiative. Internal emails show, for example, that UnitedHealth supervisors gave their teams “budgets” showing how many hospital admissions they had “left” to use up on nursing home patients. The company also monitored nursing homes that had smaller numbers of patients with “do not resuscitate” – or DNR – and “do not intubate” orders in their files. Without such orders, patients are in line for certain life-saving treatments that might lead to costly hospital stays. Two current and three former UnitedHealth nurse practitioners told the Guardian that UnitedHealth managers pressed nurse practitioners to persuade Medicare Advantage members to change their “code status” to DNR even when patients had clearly expressed a desire that all available treatments be used to keep them alive.

But trump had to sit there and hear someone nicely calling him out on his lies. Wonder what song he sang in his head to try and not hear it.

Another linseed oil fanatic! I have a six-tined, long-handled fork of my father’s that is likely as old as I am. Original handle, oiled every two years. I like the gutter idea. Do you use a turpentine-linseed mix?

They still come up - both from a state search and USDA. They may be in this bill, but it appears they are still active.

They served their time already from what I heard someone say on tv, but the injunction by the court still stands. They also were not afforded a deportation hearing of some kind, which they’re all entitled to. Notwithstanding the fact that they are convicted criminals, they still get a hearing and should not be renditioned to a hostile country like S. Sudan on top of it all.

They all seem to have done their time and their criminal records are available to the court, but that’s not really the entire issue. Not being American citizens they were slated for deportation as a result of those criminal offenses but whoever sent them out of the country broke the court order.

I have trouble trying to reconcile that point. I have wanted to fall back into seeing their views and beliefs as simply cynical lies and fabrications to misdirect the public. And there is that for sure. There are people abusing that daily, starting in the Oval Office. We are looking at you Stevie! But collectively these people have a vision that is staggeringly lost in crude myth making and belief. Crude, backward, ignorant are all features of what they project.

Things learned when young, gossiped about between their own homogeneous groups and never allowed to be questioned. It is the bullshit that people pass around the lunch table or at the bar over a few beers. They pick it up and run with it, compounding that fantasy world of grievance and victim hood over and over again. And here we are today, with half of our government led by these low information idiots trying to convince us they are the sophisticates and the knowledgeable.

I used to think the Republican members of congress were those cynical players, but they are showing us constantly they are as much victims of their own garbage as those who elected them into office.

Straight oil. Boiled. I had a couple gallons of it from years and years ago, plus some smaller cans of it…all boiled. Now that I know what the difference is I might next get some raw…but I am using up the boiled.
