Alabama cousin wrote this on their facebook: "Anyone else’s health insurance go up $500/month starting next year?
No changes to benefits either. WTF???"

Several friends experiencing the same, and commiserating.

One friend said, "That's what was in the bill Nancy Pelosi said had to pass to know what's in it."

Another finally pointed out that the increase is because of Trump and Johnson, and Alabama replied, "keep drinking that rum with your koolaid! Bless your heart."

Alabama didn't know/acknowledge it was an ACA marketplace plan, only that it was a "BCBS Blue Silver Plan."

Doesn't give me hope.

There will never be an Ah Ha moment for many MAGA. They will always blame Dems when something goes wrong and praise GOP if it goes well.

That’s why Democrats “roll over and play dead” approach is so, so wrong. Touch stove doesn’t work.

Good hope they go broke and all the hospitals near them close.

Anonymous wrote:Lovesick Trump supporter threatens to murder ICE agents over visa snag for Colombian fiancée
Florida man Tristen Elijah Giroux allegedly became enraged after becoming stuck in a phone tree while calling U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, according to previously unreported court filings

"A lovesick MAGA fan in Central Florida is facing federal charges after he allegedly threatened to torch the White House and assassinate ICE agents after he was unable to get a live person on the phone at a government immigration office.

Tristen Elijah Giroux, 30, had been calling U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to complain about how long it was taking to process a visa for his Colombian fiancée but found himself stuck in a phone tree, according to a recently unsealed criminal complaint reviewed by The Independent.
As Giroux tried and failed last week to make himself understood to the “interactive voice recognition system” at USCIS, his frustration boiled over, says an FBI probable cause affidavit attached to the complaint. When his demands to speak to a customer service representative went nowhere, Giroux first lashed out at the virtual operator as a “dumb c**t b***h,” then lost patience altogether, the affidavit states.

“I’m gonna burn down the White House.” Giroux said on the recorded line, according to the affidavit. “I’m gonna go choke out every ICE member I see. Kill them all.”

When the FBI arrested Giroux at home the next day, he assured them that he was a Trump supporter and claimed he was “disgusted” by the ICE protests he had seen on TikTok, the affidavit contends. Meanwhile, it says Giroux told officers that navigating the byzantine process to bring his fiancée into the U.S. legally has been “so difficult.”

I do kind of feel that people should be allowed to say anything they want to a robot when clearly the robot is not listening to you and has no response to what you say. If I threaten to assassinate the president while alone in my house yelling at my chair, who cares?

The tyrants care. They love abusing you and then punishing you when you react to their abuse.

It's funny this time because it happened to Mr "The only moral immigrant is my immigrant".

But hey, the Party of Free Speech , everyone!

As a former Iowan, I read this article with great interest. I have no doubt most farmers would vote for Trump again.

An independent who leans conservative, Reynolds, of Port St. Lucie, called Obamacare flawed but said he favors the continuation of the enhanced subsidies “and not pulling the rug out from under people.”

His family is also affected. The loss of his wife’s subsidy means she is likely to pay about $1,200 or more each month, up from about $500 in 2024, he said. “I voted for Trump,” Reynolds said. “I didn’t expect this.”

I don't know why he did not expect it, he was told it would. Stupid is as stupid does.

If he “didn’t expect this” I hope his clients understand just how very bad he is at his job as an insurance agent.

I have found that most conservative financial advisors and insurance salespeople are universally bad at their jobs.
