A sick kind of logic.
You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Hmm, maybe due process is a good idea after all?

Trump administration deports gay makeup artist to prison in El Salvador
A gay man with no known criminal record sought asylum in the U.S. He's since become one of 238 Venezuelan migrants deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

This really says everything about why no patriotic Canadian should vote Conservative.
“Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and conservative influencer Ben Shapiro discussed how to help Canada elect ‘solid allies’ to the Trump administration during a private gala in south Florida…”
“I think the obstacles to that need to be removed.”
Hmm, what’s a word for that, as Trump attacks Canada?

As I've said, Trump officials suggest it's no big deal to reduce access to health care since it's mostly other things that are making Americans sick, like toxic chemicals. But they're allowing more toxic chemicals too bsky.app/profile/cram...
The GOP is laying the groundwork to cut federal health spending by arguing that access to medical care doesn’t make you sick — other societal ills do. Poor nutrition, neurotoxins, etc.
Unfortunately, the rest of the GOP agenda will make those other problems worse, too.
