    Trump's DERP State

    nursej22 replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I was watching some of the Dr. Oz confirmation hearing today. My take away is that Republicans and red states seem convinced that Medicaid recipients are the main source of waste and fraud in CMS....

    Hi. Taking a break for lunch, then going to work in my garden until I leave for a meeting. Dh is muttering because he left the baby gate open and the dogs got into something and somehow it's my fault...

    Resignation, Early Retirement

    nursej22 replied to B52's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Raising the cap on income taxed for FICA has long been proposed as a means to fund SS. Unfortunately , this would likely take a filibuster-proof senate, which the democrats haven't had since the first...

    Just a run of the mill, gray day here. We took MiL to her chiropractor appointment. It is tough to see how short of breath she gets just going from house to car, and then car to office, even with...

    I agree, it doesn't make sense. I found this article on the AP News website, https://apnews.com/article/maine-trump-doge-social-security-newborns-70840b39658b8702e6eb9b66f0f920db It doesn't say...

    Rainy day. Spent most of it at a rose growing clinic. Also did a little plant shopping undercover at the garden center. We found a brew pub for lunch, and had a bowl of baked potato soup. My...

    I'm going to gently push back on this, for a couple of reasons. According to the SSA page, infants may need a SSN to get insurance. Newborns need frequent well child checks, as well as f/u for any...

    The cruelty is the point. It wasn't enough to extort 50% of resources, or to negotiate without including the leader of Ukraine. They invited him to the White House, mocked his clothes repeatedly...

    Yo. I had lunch with oldest sis at Olive Garden. I really like their salad. It seems so simple, but think it's the dressing I like. The soup was too thick and heavy for my taste. Anyhoo, she spent...

    Hi. Overcast and cool here. I went looking for clothes for my trip because my jeans are pretty stained and I wanted something that would pack down better. I got some hiking pants. I looked for a cross...

    Just throw a load of stuff on the wall and see what sticks, right? Ever since Russia occupied the eastern territories in 2014, they have had the option to retreat, and end the conflict. Ever...

    Yawn. I was energetic this morning--went for my first jog/walk in 2 weeks, then took the dogs for a walk. I was out in the yard, cleaning around sprouting flowers, cutting off some errant branches,...

    There was no negotiating during that Oval Office visit, only demands for obeisance. Trump cares about Russian lives, period. We don't hear him telling Putin to stop fighting, only Zelenskyy. Putin...

    This was disgusting and shameful. Zelenskyy was set up to be humiliated and portrayed as the ungrateful street urchin who doesn't wear a suit. When I heard he was coming, I wondered if it was a set...

    Good morning. I still have sniffles and cough, and stuffy head. So tired. The dogs were up in the night barking at the door. I let them out, and they continued to bark, probably at deer. Then they...

    nursej22 replied to toomuchbaloney's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The two clips I posted showed Trump speaking about his new gold cards. It seems you are saying Trump is not a reliable news source. Now that is something we can agree on. I found this news...
