they ruled against the travel ban on the basis of what trump campaigned under, claiming "did we all forget what he said during the campaign about banning muslims"

they didnt approve not on legality of the ban, but on the motive

quote:

In a striking repudiation of President Trump, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, a Republican, said on Wednesday that he had seen no indication of Mr. Trump's claim on Twitter that former President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones in Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“We don’t have any evidence that that took place,’’ Representative Devin Nunes, Republican of California and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said at a news conference on Capitol Hill. “In fact, I don’t believe — in the last week of time, people we’ve talked to, I don’t think there was an actual tap of Trump Tower.”

If Mr. Trump’s Twitter claim is to be taken literally, Mr. Nunes said, “then clearly the president is wrong.”

Between this and the overturning of the travel ban, I'm eagerly awaiting the furious tweets. :allears:

Taft can go gently caress himself for taking the Fattest President title out of Trump's reach. Trump being the most childlike AND fattest us president ever would be too much cherry for one sundae I guess

It's like the piss tape. God lets us dream of these things but actually putting them into the world would be like if it rained cotton candy. Too much.

Poor people still get ambulance rides and emergency hospital care. It's just that they can't pay for it, will be sued into bankruptcy, and the hospital is left with the tab. That tab still has to get paid, yet another reason healthcare and healthcare costs are hosed.

My roommate was an EMT for a few years (Philly and surrounding suburbs in Pennsylvania) and they legit train you, off the record, to assess whether or not someone has healthcare and needs an ambulance or if you can save them the cost and just get someone to pick them up and drive them.

$400 is what it costs for an ambulance to show up. If you need any kind of healthcare en route to the hospital... I mean, $10,000 ambulance rides are absolutely possible

IT'S LEGO, not Legos. Heh


You're crazy if you think an ambulance ride costs $400. I work for a fire department and our billing has a basic ambulance transport starting over $800. That's with no treatment rendered. Start an IV? Another $100. Get an EKG? Another $150. Put on oxygen? Another $120. It's insane.

You know what gets me? this isn't about Trump but it is an American LOL

quote:

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a Country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

That's the end of the Star Spangled Banner. (edit: Ooh no it's the second to last) You'll see the line where it straight-up no-foolin says "All Slaves Shall Die".

there's still "controversy" over what precisely he meant by that (lmao) but it's hilarious that Americans care so little about knowing anything that our stopping early out of laziness is the only thing saving us from putting our hands over our hearts and tearfully enjoying a song about crushed and destroyed black people.
