Bogie56 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 I think the outrage fatigue has a lot to do with the 'outrage' being cheered on by all of Trump's enablers and supporters and his willingness to up the ante all the time. There seems to be no shelter from this storm. Despair is setting in. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 3 minutes ago, Bogie56 said: 3 prosecutors who were working on the Roger Stone case have resigned. Meanwhile Trump said he did not talk to Barr about it, though he could have if he had wanted to. He then went on to say the whole thing was a disgrace and that the wrong people were going to prison. Roger Stone was found guilty by jury. The prosecutors probably spent more than a year of there lives on that case. Update ... now all 4 of the prosecutors have resigned from the case. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

So can we expect him to do the honorable thing and resign, or must this political crony be impeached, for his out and out cronyism?!? Link to post Share on other sites
jamesjazzguitar Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 3 hours ago, TheCid said: I think the current PR about the budget is that the cuts will be for the "welfare" portions of social programs. But make no mistake the current Republican leadership and probably most supporters are absolutely in favor of cutting Social Security, Medicare. And then they move on to VA and military benefits. They already are in some instances. The budget calls for cuts to Hospitals providing services under Medicare; I don't view these as "cutting Medicare" especially since the Medicare inpatient hospital fee schedule is overly generous IMO, but it will result in some hospitals not admitting Medicare patients expect as required by law for E.R. services.

They voted to acquit without wanting to hear or see testimony or documents. Now they are allowing foreign actors to again have meddle in the 2020 election, just like in 2016, to ensure Trump wins, no matter what the actual vote tally was. Link to post Share on other sites

It was Trump’s Department of Justice that decided not to charge him so I have no idea what Trump is even complaining about. The only thing that seems to be happening is that Trump is raging so hard there is blood coming out of his eyes and blood coming out of his whatever. He’s so mad he wants to get immediate revenge against his past political enemies like a bloodthirsty deranged dictator. 9:21 PM · Feb 11, 2020·Twitter for iPhone 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's cutting Medicare services to individuals. Also, the co-pays will increase for patients even if there is some bargaining going on. And if the hospitals don't accept the Medicare patient, then the doctors who use that hospital won't accept them either. Link to post Share on other sites
