laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025It is in states like California. And it’t a matter of tike before ICE realizes the “opportunity” they are missing out on by avoiding hospitals. 200
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Some people just don’t like basic questions being asked. I get it, thinking is hard. 300
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025This it does. It does remove access to federal medicaid for undocumented aliens. Of course states like California have “medicaid for all”, so the state program is still accessible at the moment. 300
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025The House version of the bill is different. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025There are NO ACTUAL CUTS in the Senate version of the bill. It isn’t there. At least not in the fear-mongering way you intend the word “cuts” to be used. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025That could change of course, especially it the House version passes unchanged. 000
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025There are no cuts at this point in the way you are making it out to be. No. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025And there isn’t “cuts” in the way you are making it out to be. There are exclusions, such as undocumented aliens who should not have access to medicaid to begin with. 300
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025I never said there were no cuts. I asked you to point me to the section dealing with “cuts” and quite frankly it isn’t what you are making it out to be AT THIS POINT. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025But this is not in the Senate bill. I agree this is the case with the House bill. So this is where it gets hashed out. And there are enough no votes that this will be very close either way. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025(1)So I’ll ask you again to show me where there is a problem here. They intend to exclude undocumented aliens. They intend to include a work, education or community service requirement for individuals considered “non disabled” or who are not already caregivers. So what is the issue here? 300
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025I literally read the text of the bill searching it for “medicaid” and there are no cuts. I simply am asking to be pointed to the section detailing those cuts. The OP can either do that or not. It is a simple request. 310
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025 I’m waiting for the nuke to drop on Tehran. Given the President is calling for the entire city to be evacuated… 000
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025I read the bill dickhead. I asked specifically which part had the cuts, not for bullshit trolling. 310
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 17/06/2025So I have read the Senate text. Where exactly is the text saying this? 211
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Is it humanly possible for you to speak at least half-way comprehensible English? 010

laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025And the moment of silence for the victims of Israel’s attacks? 010
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025I get this. They wouldn’t have attacked had they felt we would not defend them. Israel continues to exist because of US backing. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Even Iraq 1.0 was based in part on lies where they paraded a Kuwaiti child in front of Congress detailing falsely how Hussein was killing babies in a hospital in Kuwait City… Then that prick of an emir/king in Kuwait actually demanded we replace his gold toilet…miserable bastard. 000
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Nope. I have never justified Iraq 2.0. I don’t even justify Afghanistan. Everyone knew Hussein’s wmd program had been destroyed. But Bush Jr needed his war. 000
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Unless the regime suddenly starts passing out AK47’s or AK74’s, the people won’t be much of a fight. And Israel does not have the manpower to physically invade Iran. The IRGC would be defending it’s on territory. They would need a full US invasion force to hope to take Iran and remove Khamenei. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025 “Sus”. You sound like my 10y/o Hussein was removed because he embarassed GHW Bush and Bush Jr wanted to remove that embarrassment. WW3…will only start if the Russians or Chinese or both move to support Iran. Illegal invasions..what exactly makes an invasion “legal” again? 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025He’s afraid Iran may use their “primitive nuke” that Mossad claims they have… 020
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Popular among who? The thought police? Religious police? His own inner circle? Popularity won’t keep you in power. Just ask Saddam Hussein… Clock is ticking. 200
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025As for Ali Hosseini Khamenei the current head of Iran…Clock is ticking on him tonight. It’s a matter of time before this gets out of hand. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025The Shah was still politically useful, which is why we kept him around. The enemy of your enemy is your friend…until he’s not. I’m just surprised the Iranians didn’t “retire” him. We have a habit of installing not so nice people who serve our purposes… 000
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025Correct. The US installed him. I said some people believe the CIA aided the overthrow of the Shah. Any time an installed leader becomes useless he is “removed”. Sometimes violently. I don’t know what to think about the Shah’s overthrow. 100
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025 Just look at how much money we made the warmongers during the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war…western (and by western I mean primarily the US and British) arms dealers sold weapons (including chemical weapons) to both sides hoping they’d kill each other off…they quite literally made a killing off those sales 010
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025CIA installed a lot of people. Uninstalled a lot of people too. 110
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025No. The US wants a puppet and doesn’t care if that puppet represses it’s people, so long as our national security interests are protected… Otherwise the Russians come in and set up their own puppet: 110
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 14/06/2025We had this-a Western friendly government in Iran. Iranian women had rights, could work (to an extent) and were not repressed by “religious police”. Then the Shah was overthrown…some say the CIA helped with that.. And then there was Ruhollah Khomeini, and now Ali Hosseini Khamenei. We never learn. 200

laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Then protestors in Florida should not block or impede others cars and they certainly shouldn’t try to pull someone out of a car… I’m ok with this one as long as there is a legit danger to the driver. 000
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Trump would be the same. So would Starmer in the Uk and Putin in Russia. Each has their own doomsday plane-their version of Looking-Glass. No “leader” wants to endure what their people do…they’re special. 000
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Rand Paul is reasonable. MTG and Loren Boebert aren’t. 000
laotzu002.bsky.social @laotzu002.bsky.social · 13/06/2025Correct, but it doesn’t mean they won’t do it. Plus the upside is the removal of that crazy ass regime that the US installed after we overthrew the Shah… 000
