Tuesday Stuff
Brian Tyler Cohen gives us Dear Orange Leader’s typical nonsense response to a reporter’s good question (for a change) about the fact that 24 million people will see their health insurance go through the roof without ACA subsidies...I honestly didn’t know that HSAs cannot legally be used to pay insurance premiums, but that figures when it comes to our utter joke of a health care system in this country (and here’s an admittedly nutty thought; if Dementia J. Trump allegedly doesn’t want insurance companies to be comped, then I guess that means he supports Medicare For All...???)...one of Cohen’s many great points is that ACA enrollees are largely in states that stoo-pidly voted for Combover Caligula, but anybody who thinks that #47 actually cares about helping the people who voted for him must also believe that Jesus wrote the Ten Commandments and rode a triceratops during the Stone Age; also, I think the “ACA death spiral” argument that Cohen mentions is very much a feature of this scam from Cheetoh Benito and not a bug...
...and correspondent Rosa Flores files the following report in this segment with Katy Tur of MS NOW on the Tyson plant closure in Lexington, Nebraska (3,200 jobs lost in a town of about 11K, and right in the middle of the holidays of course)...and by the way, I’m sure the chaotic trade nonsense from Our Treasonous Orange Pustule is in play here where it comes to the thinning cattle herd which affected this move, but I haven’t been able to track down any kind of a “cause and effect” from #47 – however, I’ll just operate under the same rules as the wingnuts who took Biden to task for the supposedly crippling inflation of 3 precent (at least what we have now) along with anything negative whatsoever that applies to our economy and blame Cheetoh Hitler anyway (here)...
...and Belle of the Ranch tells us how state senate Repugs in Indiana successfully pushed back on Cantaloupe Capone’s redistricting nonsense, with more Repugs voting against it than voting for it (and it looks like Don The Con’s threat to primary those who didn’t do his bidding didn’t land so well...c’est dommage...and oh yeah, maybe it’s not a good idea to launch “swatting” attacks in an effort to win hearts and minds, you orange numbskull; no wonder they told you to “kick rocks,” as Belle correctly puts it...”voters will remember who didn’t stand up to bad policy” indeed)...
...and I thought these were kind condolences from Seth Meyers over the horrific deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner...“We have to do everything we can to not make setting an example a lost art” indeed...
...and yep, you guessed it - time for more seasonal tunes.
