Even with as patently cruel and destructive as they've shown themselves to be recently, it's still sort of astonishing the lengths the Republicans will go to to deny poor people healthcare.

They REALLY don't want to give healthcare subsidies to poor folks, do they?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 15 points 3 weeks ago

But you don't understand. An illegal immigrant might get free healthcare!! (hint: they won't, but fuck everyone else anyway)

Damn. A win win for them. Hold out on giving healthcare to those in need and fire government employees in the meantime.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 weeks ago

They were going to fire those govt employees anyway, let's not kid ourselves. They demonstrated that they were capable of gutting critical govt agencies while the govt was still open, they didn't need a shutdown.

“This is literally our only option to distract from the Epstein files at this point.”

[–] Zier@fedia.io 8 points 3 weeks ago

Not wanting to release the Epstein files. Is that because HE is in those files as well as president felon?

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

They're not reconvening, this is it. Just more lazy people mooching off Americans like they've always projected about 😏

Could even go on for a few months, which is approximately the age of child that Donald Trump likes to fuck.
