Also Denmark is very small and while Sweden is larger, its population is not huge. And the populations are pretty homogeneous compared to the US.
So you can’t really compare what Denmark needs for a health system to what the US would need.

I think most of my acquaintances who say Trump is a jerk but they like his policies don’t really pay attention to what’s going on. They just know they haven’t been affected, and assume he’s instituting a conservative agenda.
I wish you had to take a current events test to get the right to vote.

My maternal grandparents were Mariangela Fattore and Cesare DiMichele. Illiterate Italian peasants. Their kids went to college, their grandchildren and great grandchildren all got advanced degrees.
Not an unusual story. Fuck ICE.

The only reason I watch CBS is for Colbert. Once he is gone I may as well delete it from my favorites.

The Trump Cabinet has made we wonder - if so many of these intellectually inferior people could be come so rich, why couldn’t I figure out how to do it?
Then I remember that what they excel at is grifting, gaslighting, doublespeak, and they have absolutely no shame. Traits I lack.

Like he got two separate rants going, and one leaked into the other.
But my take away on AI - if you think there ought to be strong laws, why don’t you work on that rather than taking over Greenland, you senile jerk.

I watched it. It didn’t have a lot of recap to it. It was a lot of him, current day, giving perspective. I thought it was interesting. You can always turn it off if it’s not your cup of tea.

Whatever happens after the midterms will be because of voters voting.
And if they just so happen to vote in a bunch of “Radical Dems,” then maybe “Traitorous Republicans” will get the message.

I want it to eventually be shown in a museum exhibit that covers the insanity of the Trump Regime, and what can happen when voters are irresponsible.

I googled what the viewership was for that speech and was alarmed to see that it was very high (didn’t include me!)
Then I realized it interrupted the Survivor finale, and people just left it on so they would know when it finally ended.

Can Presidents declare legal residency via Executive Order?
If so, next Dem Prez should get lists of deported immigrants who had been in the US for years minding their own business, paying taxes etc. and give them an entry visa, legal permanent residency, and then fast track their swearing in.

Another person discovering that abasing yourself to get into Donald’s good graces does not end well.
Once you are no longer useful to him he will toss you aside.
So you will have lost your self respect for nothing.

I can’t help but think that the overall competence of the FBI has been adversely affected by the interference of the traitorous Trump Regime.
They fired many competent agents, and those who are left are directed by the incompetent bozos who were approved by the traitorous Republican Senate.

All the Trump names, plaques, gold stuff, cement gardens etc can be easily changed. I would be happy if he spent the next three years doing this kind of nonsense.

I would say “that will never happen.” But I do believe Trump would do whatever his beloved asks of him.
And so far the Republican traitors in Congress have abdicated their responsibilities.
And SCOTUS just says Trump, no matter how demented, venal and disgusting, can do almost anything.

Every morning when I first check my phone I hope there’s a “tragic” announcement.
Not that Vance would be a big improvement. But I guess an evil person with all his marbles is better than evil, stupid and demented.
