    the epstien files dont even matter when you are elite ultra rich above the law and rigging markets while doing the usual US leadership move of create value for the weapons manufacturers that sponsor you, those million dollar missile defense systems arent going to sell themselves, and there is tons of money to be made in fracturing society with culture wars and raiding the fake ops of the moment, and all the while halting the progress of society that would make other important sponsors like fossil fuels become irrelevant

    Isn't this about the upcoming midterms? Start the voter bullying early, get the controversies going to control the narrative better?

    I better read the article.

    edit: nah, it's just more "bad illegal aliens" bs.

    can't wait to see who wins the "first sitting governor to be arrested by the Trump admin" bet on polymarket.

    Fucking really? There’s a bet for that? I’m both shocked and sadly not surprised at all. Everything I hear about Polymarket betting is so appalling.

    I did not bother to check if it actually exists, I actually don't know if they would allow that specific bet. But, they are ghouls that profit off the exploitation of the powerless so I'm sure they're working on it.

    Several L.A. hospice and healthcare providers were raided by federal authorities early Thursday morning.

    The crackdown on the city resulted in eight arrests and the suspension of 221 facilities over 10 weeks, officials said.

    So raiding and shutting down healthcare facilities in Democratic states is the new distraction from the USA losing its own war in Iran and destroying the world's economy, which was the distraction from Trump raping children?

    When was the last time the Republicans did anything actually good and helpful?

    Republicans of the Early 60s were maybe not as evil, if only because that was at the tail end of the Party switch.

    Before that, conservatives and progressives were more spread between both parties.

    The Party Switch took something like 50-60 years, with Nixon's Southern Strategy being the defining moment, and Reagan's Moral Majority calcifying the status quo.

    Still, as late as the 1960 presidential election, things could have gone either way.

    Hey.

    Why are blue states funding failing red states when all they can do is elect pedophiles to threaten us?

    Also, do these traitors realize there's a shit ton of their voters in these blue states they're threatening? There are a TON of Republicans in California.

    California is a shockingly purple state, tbh. The cities just happen to have high enough density to outweigh the rest. Once you leave them, things get really red really quick. It's basically like Texas, just favouring the other side.

    That's literally every state, and that's because cities are where the people are, and people vote, not land. For instance, the only reason Georgia has Democratic senators is because of Atlanta.

    Usually, the cities in a state have a LOT more people than all the rural regions combined, so that's where the votes are concentrated. Simple as that.

    Guy who has asked to allocate trillions of dollars to a voluntary and unnecessary war against a country that was no threat, achieving nothing but killing thousands of innocent people and tanking the world economy while destroying US global power.

    Trump said future operations will be nationwide "but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS" are in charge, Trump said, namechecking California, Illinois, Minnesota, Maine, and New York.

    The fact that this dipshit is announcing that he's specifically targeting democratic states gives anyone targeted in those states a reasonable argument the prosecutions are politically motivated and in violation of the equal protection clause of the Constitution. Now, that doesn't mean that the targeted harassment won't be a nightmare for those targeted, but if he kept his stupid mouth shut he'd be more effective with his illegal prosecutions.

    Fraud, like spending billions on a pointless ballroom, the military, and a war with Iran? I'm sure all the fraud in the US involving tax dollars pales in comparison to those.

    Prosecutors allege the defendants billed Medicare and other government programs for services that were unnecessary or never provided, including enrolling patients who were not terminally ill in hospice to maximize reimbursements. Officials said the cases are part of a push to crack down on fraud in publicly funded health programs, which investigators say account for significant financial losses across the system.

    I mean, ok. If the fraud is real, then go after the perpetrators. Sure. It's beyond stupid to only target blue states, though. Fraud happens in red states, too, I guarantee it.

    Florida, but when he did the medicare fraud he was Governor. So the brilliant minds in Florida decided that even after it came out that he was party to the biggest medicare fraud in history, he deserved to be senator after his 8 glorious years of Governorship.

    Edit: I was mistaken, see BarneyPiccolo's comment below.

    Nope, back up, time for clarification. Rick Scott was NOT governor when he did his record-setting Medicare fraud. That came much earlier, in the 90s, when he was CEO of a Florida hospital chain. They committed the biggest case of Medicare fraud in history, and when he was deposed, he pled the Fifth something like 175 times.

    Somehow they managed to convince the court to blame the corporation for the crime, and the corporation was punished with a massive fine, the largest in Medicare history, which still stand, as far as I know.

    For his part, Rick Scott walked away with a sizeable fine, but he got to keep most of his stolen fortune. He was fired from his company, but he found that his particular skills set was transferrable to conservative politics.

    So technically, it was the company for which he was responsible for all day to day operations, including profitability, that was convicted of the crime, but not the person who actually did it?

    I still always refer to him as Convicted Criminal Senator Rick Scott. He really really hates that, and whines about it all the time. But he just whines all the time anyway, so who cares?

    As for being elected, remember that Florida's elections have been fully rigged for several election cycles. They allow a few Dems to hold Congressional seats because they have to. In the past few years, DeSatan has been removing duly elected Democrats from any positions they have, and replacing them with his own hand-picked people. He's done it to a couple of prosecutors, a sheriff, a police captain, and he's gone after a few others who have so far managed to evade him.

    268,000,000 people. That's how many people the regime desires to remove from the US.

    Whether its deportation, or a body bag, or just plain fleeing, they dont give a damn.

    The more we push back, the worse it will get. But thays the thing about authoritarians, they try to use fear the entire time. What happens when the people no longer fear the regime?

    If they want to tackle fraud, they should start in Washington, DC, and then move on to Florida and Texas.

    In the facilities shut down, what happens with the patients? They can't just up and walk out like healthy folks.
