Oh, yeah. They're very, very busy fighting over how bad they can actually make it. See, one side wants to destroy the entire US social safety net (as flimsy and thin as it was.) and the other side... wants to destroy the entire US social safety net, burn it to ashes, and then snort said ashes. It's a tough choice, I can see why they're having trouble.

Deadline to pass it to the President is July 18th, so there's a chance they may just run the clock out on it

Senate rules prevents them from doing a bunch of the Medicaid changes. Of note among those is that they can't block gender-affirming care through Medicaid as part of this bill.

Ghouls, the lot of them. The fact that more and more are willing to remove their masks means they are getting arrogant. We should take advantage of that.

Pretty much. The time for lies is over. They believe they have everything in the bag. Time to write it all down and keep receipts. They will try lying once its time for voters to pay attention again.

Ok, we should all be glad when crimes like this get uncovered. But I couldn't just walk past
“These criminals didn’t just steal someone else’s money. They stole from you,” Matthew Galeotti, who leads the Justice Department’s criminal division, told reporters Monday. “Every fraudulent claim, every fake billing, every kickback scheme represents money taken directly from the pockets of American taxpayers who fund these essential programs through their hard work and sacrifice.”

Sure ok. We won't talk here about how that money got out of my pocket and what happens to it if the bad guys don't steal it, right? Because I just paid my taxes and the baddies stole it from the government. Don't talk about my pocket unless you're going to put some of those seized luxury cars back in.

Those shirts are going to end up in the attic for kids to discover like old nazi flags. You know those fun little discoveries like, 'oh, hey turns out my family is full of assholes'.

So, fun story: A good couple of year ago, my aunt died. Due to the executor of the will, it was a cluster hug getting anything done, and it took years before we could even go and clean out the apartment.

In the process of cleaning out the apartment; we found a cigar box full of reichmarks, and a leatherbound book on eugenics.

It gets better: nazi paraphernalia is illegal to privately own in canada. You need to be an educational institution like a higher education history department or museum. Box full of felonies it was.

Someone had to keep paying rent for a couple of years?

Is the currency illegal paraphernalia? I wouldn't have been concerned about the money. The book on eugenics....I'm concerned about and probably isn't paraphernalia.

My grandfather just left behind a cache of guns and ammo in his ceiling. For some reason. And some bags of money in a drawer he nailed shut. For some reason.

...

And yeah, one Nazi knife.
