United States intelligence confirms bombs did not destroy Iran's nuclear sites, McConnell says people will "get over" Medicaid cuts, effort to impeach Trump fails, and much more.
Absolutely shocking!! 🤨The felon lied once again and against the best interest of the people. Iran’s leader said it plain and clear: Trump betrayed his voters. 😡😡😡😡😡
Right? Didn't we talk about this just yesterday? How something was fishy? Well... that's not just a fish - that is a freaking Kracken. You know, right, what the Orange Yam will do next. He'll demand to strip the broadcasting license from CNN, declare the whole thing "fake news", and fire somebody. You all want to get a pool going on whom he'll throw under the bus for this?
Right?! I wish we could take his pay away and give him minimum wage with no insurance and see how well he would “get over” having his health insurance taken away to fund billionaires!!! 😡
Even before this, I've thought the entire Congress should have to buy medical insurance on the open market like the rest of the country, and make no more than $60,000 or so a year. Things would change real fast.
I'm 74 and have both Medicare and Medicaid. The Medicare Savings Program, which is run through Medicaid for low-income seniors and disabled is necessary for me to afford medical care. It looked like it was going to survive in the House, at least in some form, but now I don't know. Very scary, and I'm better off than a lot of people in terms of having a friend and a brother who will help when they can, but it still wouldn't be enough.
I'm so glad I live in a blue district where my congresspeople had all had empathy, going back to Lou Stokes, who was in office when I got here, followed by the estimable Stephanie Tubbs Jones who was a fountain of love, then Marcia Fudge who was always in the trenches for poor people, and now Shontel Brown, who may not be as fiery as Jasmine Crockett (who I love) but she's cut from the same mold.
"My" senators are a whole different story though. Neither serves the people of Ohio, only their own greed, ambition and their MAGA idol.
And this latest diversion cost taxpayers lots of money. His “diversions “ will lead us into deeper poverty. Add cuts to health care and other necessities..
Voting against impeachment was the right call, but now it’s on record. We will not get 20 Republican Senators to vote for removal. The hearing would tie up the Senate for weeks, preventing oversight hearings and reducing the amount of cases that Democrats can get through the courts.
The alternative is a weeks long Senate hearing, reducing the Senate’s ability to conduct oversight into the failures of the administration and assisting in bringing cases to district courts, only to hold a vote that requires a 2/3 supermajority to pass. That’s all Democrats plus 20 Republican Senators. It’s never happened in the history of our nation, and it’s DEFINITELY not happening with a Republican majority in the Senate.
This is the third set of articles of impeachment brought into the House this term. The record can be referenced when Democrats have more control.
great time to remind everyone that iran never had nukes to begin with- and if they did, BOMBING a nuclear facility would push us one step closer to mutual destruction.
I have sent your TickTok handle (or whatever you call it) to all my grandchildren. Thanks, Aaron for keeping this 82 year old up to date... Keep it up! Congratulations on the Rolling Stone. Stay with your outlets don't give in to MSM.
I agree! Also, a distraction from his other disastrous policies. The bombing was done for performative optics. Reality means nothing to the MAGA followers, just what Trump says and does matters.
Trump is driven by optics. He desperately wants a Nobel peace prize. That’s why he’s so upset at Israel and Iran this morning. “They don’t know what the fuck they’re doing”? The unspoken part is “they’re fucking up my chances of getting the Nobel Peace prize”.
If his parents had only told him that he was loved, we could have avoided all this. Fred Trump will be the death of all of us.
Well, surprise, he LIED AGAIN to the American people. Put lives in danger. That seems worth it. $$$$
😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
He lied to the World!
He believes his lies get angry when we don't believe them.

I think you’re right. He’ll blame someone. How about Tulsi? He’s already thrown her under the bus.
He will blame Biden!
Of course not!!!
Congrats on Rolling Stone! Well deserved
“Get over it” How will be people get over having not healthcare. Especially the elderly.
They'll get over it because they'll be dead. Our healthier relatives will never forget. Eugenics doesn't work when there are people left to remember.

If they mess with my Social Security the Great Rat will rip off their heads and shit down their necks. FAFO!

Trump did this shit as a diversion!!!!
Mighty expensive diversion for such little benefit (the Senate allegedly sent the big ugly bill back to the house today).
And this latest diversion cost taxpayers lots of money. His “diversions “ will lead us into deeper poverty. Add cuts to health care and other necessities..
I don’t mean he should add cuts to healthcare. I meant as we pay for his diversions and the small, ugly bill we will all suffer. I need sleep
Confirmed on Al Jazeera via photos. There was only electrical damage.
Why am I not surprised at all
I’m not surprised either.
Fuck you, Mitch McConnell. You are one of the main reasons we’re in this hellscape.
🐢 💯
Vance in the photo looks like he's part blowfish! 🤣🤣
Accurate representation.
Why can't the Dems be united on something. This one very important thing. What a miserable sack of shit they are as a whole.

what good does it do to just be on record?

Republicans have control but you are blaming the democrats. smmfh.
But where did the S..t originate from? 1 guess.

McConnell can't glitch all the way out soon enough. He's such a ghoul.
Aaron, knowing this idiot, this was done to deflect attention away from the Senate vote on the Big Disastrous Bill - will bet you a subscription
I agree.

What a shit show🤦♀️
Waste Fraud and Abuse at the highest level!
