Marie Antoinette may not have actually said “Let them eat cake,” but Joni Ernst sure as hell did try to dismiss her constituents issues with Republicans gutting their healthcare by saying “we’re all going to die.”

Front page of the local newspaper!

The only way this could have been any more tone deaf and out of touch is if she followed it up with “but, don’t worry. I’ll be ok.”

The #GOP #health plan is to just quietly die. The Dems have fancy language about privatized #insurance that means people still die, or if lucky, end up in lifelong #debt. A civilized society would guarantee universal #healthcare for all, starting with a national #singlepayer system.

#Proletarian #internationalism is a foundational part of #communism, & "building meaningful #partnerships" with #genociders is the opposite

From @votevets on Dead:

Joni Ernst is a Veteran. She knows 1 in 10 Veterans rely on #Medicaid.

And yet she sat at a town hall and defended cutting it.

So what does that mean—that those #Veterans don’t deserve care? That it’s fine if they die quietly?

Because that’s the message she sent.

Me:
Or, maybe more to the point, if they die &/or suffer needlessly?

Because the non-stop message from Joni Ernst, Musk, Trump & the rest of the #GOP is they really don't care.

Period.

Wracking my brain trying to think of any Republicans who don't belong in jail and/or mental institutions. Still thinking...stay tuned. (But don't hold your breath.)

I told you so!

My #GOP series from 2021 could have been written today except for this one little important prediction. We have always been on a slipper slip to #fascism

The question now is can we learn from our past to inform our present and do better for future generations? #activism

Today's #GOP in #America #uspol #uspolitics

This week, I’m reminded of the 4-part series I wrote on the #GOP in 2021 before the full #MAGA we see today.

“My goal is to encourage love and empathy for voters across the aisle, while also recognizing the clear and present danger of the current GOP to our democracy and our country's future success.”

Now I know that the excellent minds in the #Trump #Administration don't tolerate inefficiency or corruption - so my conclusion is that this is intentional cruelty - both the extortionate fees charged as well as the failure to provide the promised services. And clearly the #GOP #Congress will address these abuses, right?

US-CIA-sraeli "Aid" Plan Is Weapon in Netanyahu’s War of Annihilation In Gaza

The GHF "was established by people with ties to the CIA & Israeli intelligence"

It is intended to "serve as part of Netanyahu’s war of annihilation."

Netanyahu said he was getting pressure even from his most passionate backers in the GOP "that they didn’t want the optics of starving Palestinians"
