I'm pretty sure they aren't talking about insurance. They're saying the money is used to buy your healthcare directly.
So if you have a suspicious lesion on your skin you pay the dermatologist directly (after negotiating).
And if the result comes back as cancerous then you go bankrupt and die.

So this sort of happened before in the 60s - to a much smaller degree. But for 60 years they've been giving essentially the same answer despite the difference in what they are based on.

What's the explanation for that?

Writing something that Trump enjoys reading (or more realistically, enjoys listening to someone else tell him about) is the most valuable use of that newspaper to Bezos.

Right. Trump initially stands (with Lutnick holding his chair to reduce the risk of him falling?). He then turns to watch the journalists and photographers leave because that's what matters to him in that moment.

** the average human capability **

in any arbitrary intellectual task they are not trained in

I think that Republicans who don't closely follow the news aren't Trump cultists and would assume that anything involving the words "Demolish" and "White House" is bad.

While Republicans who follow the news would eat a shit sandwich if they saw Trump announce that shit sandwiches were MAGA MAHA.

With a side dish of preventing that additional vote for releasing the Epstein files from happening?

So the choice for Democrats is

a) fold and let people deal with crippling health care costs
b) holdout and let SNAP end

?

What is the choice for Republicans?

There's no reason to use the word "obscene" about that video unless you're acknowledging that it is supposed to be shit. Something that is simply brown liquid is not morally repulsive.

Trump believes that every dollar spent on a special needs child is a wasted dollar.

I don't think it is any more complicated than that.

Helping all children reach their full potential is now Democrat-oriented.

A good premise, unfortunately: "Croke Park the fourth-largest stadium in Europe, and the largest not usually used for association football in Europe."

It's when they're carrying multiple burner phones for arbitrage that you've got problems!
