If he keeps this up even some … gasp … GOP reps might find their spine.

Just confirmed that the Trump administration shutdown the Medicaid portal for Florida. There are over 3.8 MILLION Floridians on Medicaid.

Hhmmmm doubtful!

"I don't think people should have benefits!...... Wait, I didn't mean those people!"

cranberryhorn.bsky.social•31 days ago

Unlikely. Part of their Putin Plan.

ginnycham.bsky.social•31 days ago

Only when they become more afraid of their constituents than Trump.

mtaggie.bsky.social•31 days ago

Doubtful.

1ofmanythoughts.bsky.social•31 days ago

Don't count on it.

fishgirl66.bsky.social•31 days ago

I love your optimism and I pray you are correct

What he's doing negatively impacts his MAGA supporters as well. It makes no sense to me for him to do this.

carbonatedobserver.bsky.social•31 days ago

It’s because he’s a thin-skinned and petty little man just like Andrew Jackson.

Main difference is that, unlike Jackson, he’s dumb as a brick. And will likely pass away soon because of his poor health.

🎯💯

c-dm.bsky.social•30 days ago

please let this happen

newyorka.bsky.social•31 days ago

One wonders what it will take.

ericabel.bsky.social•31 days ago

Ya think?

kipca.bsky.social•30 days ago

Don't hold your breath. That's what has gotten us this far.

joehesta.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yeah, probably not.

I’m reminded of stories where gangs take control of areas because citizens are too afraid to testify

trruhnke.bsky.social•31 days ago

Don't hold your breath, you might pass out.

factsrfacts.bsky.social•30 days ago

Nah, they'll just tell their constituents to eat cake.

healthcarechik.bsky.social•31 days ago

The midterms will be 🔥🔥🔥

nictiteight.bsky.social•31 days ago

They can’t get the X-rays to find their spines without the Medicaid!!! The perfect scheme.

vonikay.bsky.social•31 days ago

No they won't but hope away

nippymobisto.bsky.social•31 days ago

His voters!

jeffhoffman816.bsky.social•31 days ago

Unlikely

mobiusrtc.bsky.social•31 days ago

Nope pretty sure those were all surgically removed at the same time shame and sense of pride were shut off.

realtalk100.bsky.social•31 days ago

That's a stretch but maybe their constituents will help them find it. 👀👀

jld4.bsky.social•31 days ago

That’s my hope.

smokeymagma16.bsky.social•31 days ago

Atticus, that would have to be the most gargantuan “might” ever for that to happen.

ellchicago.bsky.social•31 days ago

I know this is Medicaid, not Medicare, but messing with entitlements will actually hurt Trump politically. This is political malpractice of the highest order.

headinabottle.bsky.social•31 days ago

It doesn't matter. Trump doesn't care. He's running for anything anymore.

ellchicago.bsky.social•31 days ago

Republicans tried to repeal the ACA in 2017 and lost the House because it. This is arguably politically worse for Republicans than that.

bonhoefferchild.bsky.social•31 days ago

I wish that were the case, and I’m not trying to disagree or debate. I’m with you all the way. I just think that their souls have been bought for so long, their spines have dissolved and there is nothing left.

somewhere-in-mi.bsky.social•30 days ago

Yup.

oreobelle.bsky.social•30 days ago

Amen!

kdneedles.bsky.social•31 days ago

whatnowfolks.bsky.social•30 days ago

You have to possess a spine in order to “find it”.

sueryan66bskysocia.bsky.social•31 days ago

Doubtful.

joea64.bsky.social•31 days ago

All kidding aside, I have a feeling we're heading toward some kind of breaking point/inflection point here.

robertr369.bsky.social•30 days ago

I read somewhere that all 50 states the portals are down

willifs.bsky.social•30 days ago

Don't hold your breath. I've been waiting 8 long years for my former party to grow a spine & stand on integrity. It used to be my expectation. But where there is life, there is hope. Right now prayer & raising our voices appear to be our best options.

bentonmcdesq.bsky.social•30 days ago

Agreed. I think people need to say, “We will primary you if you’re just going to sit on your hands and acquiesce to this unconstitutional agenda!”

We need someone to fight for us. Where are the Dems!? Why aren’t they holding major press conferences every day to point out the illegalities and sue.

danbueide.bsky.social•31 days ago

I fear there is no tipping point. Whether out of greed, lust for power or fear, I think he’s got them under his thumb as long as he wants.

tomcatjock.bsky.social•31 days ago

100%

jekksu.bsky.social•31 days ago

My hope at this point is that they care enough about their own power to maybe, possibly, finally stand up to something.

stevestarr.bsky.social•31 days ago

unlikely.

lord-of-crime.bsky.social•31 days ago

Bad news for them is that they'll go unrewarded for it after saying whatever they have to say to the Felon's face.

tomcatjock.bsky.social•31 days ago

They sold their spines long ago for access to Trump, power, and their grift.

Even if some wanted to, Trump has dirt on them.

oreobelle.bsky.social•30 days ago

I doubt that! I write to them more than ever now.

johnmcphee60062.bsky.social•31 days ago

Nah....it's all for the tax cut package that's coming.

karriw.bsky.social•31 days ago

I don’t think they will. Some of them can’t because they’re being blackmailed. Some of them won’t because they have an irrational fear of being primaried. Still others are just plain cowardly. And of course there is the naked greed of the grifter set.

progresscityhobo.bsky.social•30 days ago

Sadly. No pain, no gain.
