And damn did she have tail.

This music is of the highest craftsdwarfship (the DF main theme)

I think you mean it really does.

There was a window to bar him from office using a technique like this and it was before the election.

Unless the theory is something substantial changed between 11/5 and now this is an absolutely awful idea.

I… agree with Nancy Pelosi on something?

Wtf is the world coming to.

(Fuck her opinion on Bernie’s statement though - democrats are absolutely out of touch with the working class).

Equally bad, you say?

Well, you’re clearly a very bad judge.

Yes - aka not a red state. I don’t believe many state governments are deep in debt enough to be close to their borrowing limit but that’s a bit out of my wheelhouse.

It’s mainly state run and the plans are state administered - it’d definitely depend on your state but blue states would likely try to sustain it. (And they could probably cheat the federal government out of the costs to run it by paying for it out of harmonized SALTs if they’re smart).

We’ve got Bieb- wait no we’ve got other people too - please don’t slam the door so fast!

Opal in sky has been hot lately - we’ll send them!

Bear in mind - the poor (even the elderly poor) generally get coverage under medicaid or qualify as dual-eligibles. But it ain’t much.

Federal funding for medicaid is actually already in the shitter so plan administration and sustainability is mostly a state matter. If Trump suddenly pulled medicaid funding it’d cause a lot of financial stress but most states could probably weather the storm in the short term.

The people really fucking shafted by Medicare cuts would be the disabled which (as little help as they’re given under the US system) would be unable to afford regular care on medicaid’s FFS model (where partial costs can often exceed the amount they’re legally allowed to save (it sucks, but that’s a separate topic)). Anyone like my stepson who has BPD, ASD, and a few more spicy disorders would be fucked if they tried to maintain daylight (let alone overnight) staff supports. That’s not even getting into med or doc costs…

And the old folks, of course… it’ll be an extremely rude awakening to elderly conservatives and probably cause a real shock to the stock market as people are forced to disinvest to avoid dying if they’re lucky enough to have that option.

That’s going to suck but I can’t deny a fair bit of shaudenfrauder for the old fucks believing the leopard will never eat their faces. It’s insane how conservative retirees are while being leeches completely dependent on social services.

Still, it’d be really nice if that didn’t happen.

It’s funny, economic issues early into a presidential term should almost always logically be blamed on the last guy but for some reason that never fucking happens - the people feeling pain during economic stress always blame the new guy.

Can yall accept Canada as honorarily European?

Assuming we don’t fuck this next election (which will take a fucking miracle) we’re worth saving!

Inb4 “constitutional scholars” submit an amicus brief to the Supreme Court arguing “acktually it’s only a limit on consecutive terms”.

Also, there are quite a few dynastic successors he could set up.

Lastly, as long as that mouth breather is cognizant enough to dial fox news his bullshit opinions will be taken as fucking gospel by conservatives.

I sadly don’t share your optimism that in four years his influence will magically dissolve.

I think the American people will finally have their concept of a bubble of immunity to consequences shattered. It’s going to fucking suck but hopefully it’ll set up millennials and gen-z up to be a new greatest generation that’ll keep the ship righted for a handful of decades.

Then again, I’m quite the fucking optimist.

Starmer might be a slimey little bitch in every other regard but if he can keep the people of Ukraine free then I salute him.

I just wish literally any other major labor MP had been picked for PM since then we might see positive economic action.

Actually, to be quite honest… we’ve been looking at a pretty much inevitable recession in 2025 for about nine months now.

The slight upside is that this will happen in the onset of Trump’s term and likely lead to widespread discontent instead of hitting a Harris administration right out the gate.

For poetic justice this whole cycle of greed-flation into recession seems to have been mostly triggered by Trump royally fucking up his pandemic response on the first place.

People ask me to do shit and I do it… unless someone asks me to do something else before I’m done.

It’s my usual ice breaker.

That’s easy to obey… but samaos seem to spontaneously evaporate near me.
