Opinion | Josh Hawley: Donโ€™t Cut Medicaid

Never thought Iโ€™d clap for Josh Hawley. His very public support of Medicaid doesnโ€™t offset his Jan 6th behavior but itโ€™s a start.

Iโ€™m not a gun owner and even I know not to point a weapon at someone! Kristi should know better. She has lots of firearm experienceโ€ฆshooting her unwanted pets.

SO glad to hear Eric made it to his 80th birthday. Other people who listened to the stupid and dangerous vaccine conspiracy theories he and others were pushing during COVID are 6 feet under. #Eric Clapton #Covid # Rock Music #Vaccine

Many mishaps involving American Airlines lately. That passenger may be onto something. The company should reach out to the Vatican. Perhaps thereโ€™s someone in their ranks who specializes in corporate exorcisms!

One of the top quality folks now employed in the new Trump administration. If the Shyster-in-Chief can sell bibles, guitars, watches and worthless bitcoins to his unsuspecting followers, why can't Ms. Pinover make use of her new government office in such a fashion?!

The โ€˜daringโ€™ political move Carville is talking about is to sit back and watch them self implode. He refers to Muhammad Aliโ€™s famous โ€˜Rope-a-Dopeโ€™ strategy. Let the Republicans bring chaos and confusion, (as theyโ€™re now doing), then go in for the kill at midterms and again in 4 years.
