The Trump Presidency 2.0

[amlove21]

94 doctors were charged in the 300+.

There are a lot of fixes for our healthcare system; none of those are going to work until we root out the fraud that’s rampant in the system. Good for the DOJ for charging first and then having the press conference- $14.6B in Medicaid fraud.

Don’t talk to me about index cases or appeals to emotion until all the fraud is uncovered.

I only care about the numbers, but I wonder how many companies large and small alike will go out of business or bought out by a competitor? Some of those companies' business model is based on or profitable because of insurance fraud.

Kind of like the mob and casinos: Everyone expects and tolerates a little skim but people keep pushing and pushing...

Lots of these cases involved Europeans purchasing straw owner shell companies, then funneling the money through shell companies and crypto.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Today I learned that there have only been 6 Parliamentarians in congress/senate and they have the outsize authority to resist the will of the people.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat. I have been led to believe that funding for rural hospitals in the BBB was important.

Well, there was an amendment brought forth by Collins and Cornyn (both Republicans) that provided additional funding for these rural hospitals. It failed 22-78. The amendment would have given an additional $25B to rural hospitals.

4 Democrats voted for the amendment. 42 voted against it.

Hello fellow humans! I eat with my hands to show you how I came from the third world. (My mother is worth $10M, I came to America when I was 7, I have 3 years in the workforce because I am privileged).

Theater kids, I am telling you.

If New York wants that, let them see how it goes. No one has to live there. This is America.

In my profession there is routinely this push for us to be involved in other people’s local or state matters. My profession and Anesthesiologists go to war in states routinely and I get bombarded by pleas to write their reps or whatever. I have never once done so, and never will. It is literally none of my business what happens in New York, or Washington, or California. If the people vote in people to represent them, then they can bitch and moan. But here in NC, I do not give a singular fuck about the mayor of NYC. Posts about him also have nothing to do with President Trump,

Fuck NYers. Let em deal with the shit they vote for.

Frankly, anyone that blindly follows any politician, left or right are fucking idiots and I have ocean front property in Idaho to sell you.

GASP! How very un-empathetic of you both! How dare you not care what happens to your fellow Americans, some of whom are too poor to move! What's next, tell them to learn to code?!

Not a whisper of this on CNN.com. They didn't just bury it on the back page...they completely ignored it. Maybe one the many reasons why Fox News kicks CNN's ass in the ratings.

Not gonna lie, reading that resulted in a transient sub-aracnoid hemmorage, I projectile vomited and slurred words for a min, I brushed that shit off.

Bravo Chuck, this exactly the type of pushback people want from Democratic party leadership. You really stuck it to Trump!

On unserious people, Republican Senator Tells House Not To Vote on Bill She Just Voted For.

Republican Alaskan Senator Lisa Murkowski said Tuesday that despite voting in favor of the sweeping tax and spending package, she wants the House to return the "One Big Beautiful Bill" to the Senate for further work.
"My hope is that the House is gonna look at this and recognize that we're not there yet," Murkowski told reporters today.

Lisa, if you felt it was that bad of a bill you could actually have some convictions and not vote for it, explaining why. People might give Paul/Tillis/Collins shit, but at least they weren't chickenshit.

This opinion is applicable to all politicians; if you toe the line on party issues but you think something is trash/needs more work and then try to put the hard part (voting no) on others, you're a punk.

I'm really trying to understand how an establishment politician like Newsom thinks I know he wasn't born with a golden spoon in his mouth and that his binky wasn't encrusted with diamonds.

Well - I didn't want to levy vulgarities "directly" at duly elected, sitting US Senator.
...his position does carry a degree of respect

No, no, no...if you don't fall in line with your party then you are a RINO/ DINO (unless your name is "Pelosi" and then you're a wino).

Perfect presidents, perfect bills, perfect "anything", they do not exist. A win in politics is just an acceptable collection of L's on the way to your goal. You always ask for more than you want, either out of caution or as a bargaining chip, something you can trade away.

If only the sitting president were someone who understands making deals is an art.

Senator, get a spine or go away. I can at least respect someone who will fight for a belief I strongly disagree with, not a bootlicking party sycophant more concerned about re-election than the will of their people.

Thom Tillis is most definitely chickenshit, and not because he didn't support the BBB. Everyone in NC is happy he is not running again.

This is a generalized comment and not directed at the OP specifically.

The problem with this "it's not in my backyard" sentiment is that things like what's happening in places like New York right now don't just stay there, and they don't just affect the people who live there. New York is arguably the most important city in America, and therefore the world. The NYSE is there. The UN is there. NYC is considered to be the business and financial capital of the world. It's America's biggest city. It's a fashion and cultural hub for the US and the world. Hip hop, one of my favorite music genres, originated there. The NYC metropolitan area is the US's biggest center for air traffic, and like #2 in the world for the same.

NYC is also a bellwether of politics and social change. The Stonewall riots, which helped launch the LGBT-whatever-it's-up-to-now movement, happened in New York. The Occupy movement started there. Our current president was born, raised, and rose to fame there. BLM arguably rose to national prominence there. The bottom line is, what happens in NYC affects not only the City and NY State (about 40% of NYS's population is in NYC, which gives NYC huge sway over state-level elections and policies), it affects ALL of us. We should all care what happens in places of mass influence like NYC, LA, and DC, because even if what they're trying to inflict on the rest of the country isn't affecting you right now... it eventually will.

Things like the DEI movement and the trans movement didn't just materialize out of thin air. They were incubated and allowed to fester in places like NYC and then inflicted on the rest of the country. We can ignore things happening in the areas of major influence, but we do so at our peril. Their "great ideas" can become our nightmares before we know it.

Also, when it comes to Mamdani, a literal part of his platform is the anti-Trump agenda (because of course it is). HE is making his name relevant to a discussion in a thread about Trump, not us.

Well said. If one has ever had almost any policy course then you are familiar with "NIMBYists": Not In My Back Yard. Doesn't matter if it's a homeless shelter or the ultra-communist mayor of a city 3,000 miles away, ALL politics are local in that the trickle-down effects have significant consequences at the state and local level.

Mamdani is a shot across the bow, far worse than a cautionary tale or an idle threat.
