Trump’s New Budget Calls for $845 Billion in Cuts to Medicare

Trump’s New Budget Calls for $845 Billion in Cuts to Medicare:  President Trump has just unveiled his new budget plan, which not only doubles the money allocated for building his Donald Trump signature border wall, but also calls for more than $845 billion in cuts to Medicare - in order to counter the colossal budget deficits which have accumulated during his two years in office, mainly due to massive Republican tax cuts for the wealthy.
Interesting position the Republicans are taking on this issue.  Especially, when you consider that some, like Senator Bernie Sanders - have been calling for “Medicare for All.”  Now I’m certainly no expert political strategist, but somehow “Healthcare for Less” doesn’t sound quite as inviting as “Medicare for All” as a campaign slogan - but what do I know?  

That said, I can fully understand why all these insanely rich folks need their taxes cut.  I mean, paying off all the hookers, porn stars, politicians and criminal defense lawyers gets expensive after a while.  Besides, how is the average Bible-belt Trump supporter supposed to know if any of those scheming elderly women are actually using their Medicare benefits on things like birth control pills or late-term abortions?

On a positive note, Vice President Pence is offering an excellent suggestion for those elderly folks who’ll see their healthcare benefits slashed.  He’s suggesting they tune right into their favorite megachurch broadcast, put a substantial offering in the collection plate and have a famous televangelist ask Jesus to “pray their illnesses away."  Hey, it sure beats sitting around twiddling your thumbs in the waiting room of some doctor’s office - doesn’t it?

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Trump Ordered by Jury to Pay E. Jean Carroll $83 Million

In his second trial in less than a year on the matter, a civil jury in Manhattan took only three hours to decide that disgraced former President Trump must pay $83.3 million in punitive and compensatory damages to rape victim and writer E. Jean Carroll in a drama that began in the dressing room of a New York City department store back in 1995. Gee whiz, $83 million?  Seems it turns out that even “when you're a star, they don't always let you do it.”  Anyway, so the Orange God used his big fat mouth to talk his way out of a $5 million judgment - and right into an $83 million judgment.  Now, that really takes some skill!  Talk about “The Art of the Deal!”  I’m totally impressed.  Why, its almost as if Mr. Trump and his militant, useless attorney don’t fully comprehend the basic point of “punitive damages.”   I mean, at this point, Trump defames Ms. Carroll so frequently, she’s almost gonna need to put up an electronic signboard to alert the court abo...
