I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I am so confused...

Quote from: crazy canuck on January 28, 2025, 04:44:43 PMThe NYTimes is reporting the portals through which the states get their federal funding for Medicare stopped working this morning.

I think it is Medicaid not Medicare. The latter is all old Americans while former is put crudely for the poor.

Thanks for the correction

Yeah only did because distinction is meaningful. If it had been Medicare things would get wild.

I also appreciated the correction - but Medicaid is not some fringe program.  It's used by tens of millions of people.  And as the GOP has increased its vote share with poor whites - that means a lot of GOP voters use Medicaid.

Yes but the Republicans always beat down on the poor and that never deters them.

Such poor planning on their part. :bowler:

QuoteTrump administration rescinds order attempting to freeze federal aid spending
The move comes just one day after the order was issued and a federal district judge temporarily halted it.

And once again tons of panic and discussion and concern...over nothing.

God I hate this.

Quote from: Razgovory on January 28, 2025, 10:42:33 PMYou have some perverse desire to see these guys as "ultra-religious", which doesn't describe the majority of them at all.  They are, however, American and English-speaking.  And that is where your have a problem.  If Trump and his crew were Francophones, you'd be onboard.  And ethic-cleansing, you really seem on board with that.  You may be big on supporting Islamic fundamentalists overseas, but you are much, much less keen on them in your own country.

Freedom of religion must not be restricted.  At all.  We have had multiple debates on this already, and that was your position.
Deal with it.  They can advocate for your murder, the murder of Jews, the murder of Muslims, as long as it's under the name of God, it's A-ok.
Canada had such a case recently.  An Imam preached for God to kill the Jews, the enemies of the people of Gaza.  No criminal accusation as it's protected religious speech under our Constitution.

It's the world you want.  We've had enough debates about religion, I know where you stand on this.  You want people like this to be free to express themselves however they want when it suits you.  Deal with it when it doesn't.  It's the price you pay when they evolve to the next step.

Same with Christian fundies.

No, it wasn't and you are getting tiresome.

Quote from: crazy canuck on January 29, 2025, 11:54:03 AMOne of the many things we can damn the Democrats with is the Trumpists gave the Dems their playbook, and the Dems are still acting like all of this is a surprise to them.
The voters were pretty clear that they thought Trump or Harris was more of the same.

I mean, Harris did answer honestly to the question.  Even her own supporters were outraged.

You don't like the consequences of absolute religious freedom because you now see where it leads.  I told you, you wouldn't listen.  Too late.  Again, deal with it.  

Buy a gun while it's still legal for non registered Republicans, you'll at least need it for self defense soon.
