One of, maybe more than one, of Trump's EO's didn't automatically raise the price of prescription drugs but it sure as hell opened the door for drug makers to raise their prices.

As far as people on Medicaid, you are fucked. Get a job that pays good wages is Trump's EO.

We had 4 years of him already they did not pay attention then.

that Trump won't be blamed. He flooded the country with EO's to overwhelm covering them. What he did will be in black and white right on an EO and he can't even blame Congress.

I unfortunately have to deal with them we had 4 years of chaotic fuckups only one in law admitted they made a mistake voting for him.

The media they watch does not cover the chaos, and if they do it's spun that the democrats are causing it.

I would love to see them pay attention and wake up but not going to happen.

They said their liberal family keeps telling them it's going to happen. I can absolutely see someone surrounded by liberal family members observe and read about a bunch of the EOs he issued on Day 1 and listen to his speeches on day 1 and finally have the warnings of his family break through and sink in. So yes, it's very possible that was written by a Trump voter.

How is that for being indecisive? Some few will blame him. But I agree most will stick with him. He will spend all his time blaming others and they will believe him. It is hard to get them out of the cult. And I agree way to much "oh they are finding out" nonsense. Maybe they will but way too early.

25. lead poisoning of toddlers...
Thu Jan 23, 2025, 10:00 AM
Jan 2025

So person/poster whose name is blacked out (to spare embarrassment perhaps), some years ago I learned about the lead poisoning riddle wherein the interior house paint used to paint window trim, including window sills, was chewed on by babies and toddlers as the stood at the windows - thus becoming the "lead paint chips" nickname for the lead ingestion dilemma.
This baby-lead-ingestion horror occurred in 76% to 87% of lead-painted homes - mostly occurring in homes of Christian fundamentalists and conservatives.
Numbers can be funny things (not ha-ha funny though) and real hard to wrangle, but interestingly enough (not ha-ha funny) some recent polls and number crunching finds that approximately 76% to 87% of registered voters support TheMotherfucker and may soon to realize their cognitive impairment or degeneration of Executive Function - so, there seems to be a correlating 4-way split of Christian fundamentalists, parents choice of window paint, attributes for critical thinking, and gullibility - the aggregate of which leads one, or like-minded cohort to fuck around.

So name unknown (NUNK), be patient, you may soon find out.

fundamentalist Christian and conservative homes? Where did you read that claptrap? Nearly every house in the country built before the ban in 1978 contained lead paint. Lead paint poisoning was an equal opportunity hazard. It was an epidemic in my childhood in a very blue state.
