Wait, don't members of Congress get free medical care? Or is it free as in they don't pay in contributions to the insurance, but still have co-pays and deductibles?

I find it hard to believe that Epstein hadn't installed cameras on his private island to get blackmail material on powerful people.

This lady who had suspected Mossad connections allegedly helped procure for Epstein:

Details of a civil lawsuit made public in January 2015 contained a deposition from a woman, identified as 'Jane Doe 3', accusing Maxwell of having recruited her in 1999, when she was a minor, to have sex with Epstein. (citation)

Her father was outed as Mossad and was found dead:

Shortly before Maxwell's death, a former employee of Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate, Ari Ben-Menashe, approached a number of news organisations in Britain and the U.S. with the allegation that Maxwell and the Daily Mirror's foreign editor, Nicholas Davies, were both long-time agents for Mossad.

I thought so too, but apparently no:

snopes posted:

As of 1 January 2014, Members of Congress (MOC) and Congressional staff purchase their insurance through the District of Columbia’s small business health options program (SHOP) exchange, also known as DC Health Link. Contrary to popular belief, Congressional members do not receive free health care. As it does for other federal employees who purchase their insurance through the FEHBP, the federal government provides a subsidy equivalent to 72 percent of the weighted average of all FEHBP premiums.

Therefore, MOC and staff pay approximately 28 percent of their annual healthcare premiums through pre-tax payroll deductions.

Although DC’s SHOP offers a total of 57 different ACA insurance plans at the bronze, silver, gold and platinum levels, the Office of Personnel Management has ruled that MOC and staff may only receive the employer contribution if they purchase insurance at the gold tier.


Congress also has in-house doctors and members of congress can also use military medical facilities while in DC. Those are free, but they are only for minor outpatient procedures.

So it's safe to assume that the $5-8k is still cheaper than whatever he would have paid under an ACA gold plan.

I would be shocked to find a annual max over 5K for any congressional health plan. Which makes me think he's going to Canada for a different reason (assuming he has a US health plan at all). Speculate from there.

I saw a chud arguing with one of my people online the other day, saying that the partisan politics weren't hurting anyone and we should all lay off Trumpenstien. My dude said that he was pissed that James Gunn had gotten axed from Disney because Thernovich had dug up some old tweets and was calling for Gunn's head after Gunn insulted the Orange-ist Daughterfucker.
Chud replied that Gunn's best friend was a convicted child molester, so Gunn probably was too, because birds of whatever. I brought up Trump hanging out with Epstien.

Chud replied with: "Whatever doesn't matter, he's done to much good stuff as president to let little things like that change how I see him. Probaybly fake news!"

The thing I don't get about the piss tape is Trump has absolutely no shame and no dignity and if it came out I can't see his behaviour changing one bit, so why would he give a gently caress if it got out. Same with his finances and everyone else, it's not as if he's capable of acknowledging anything he doesn't want to be true so in that respect I'm surprised he even still parses them as issues. Guy's dumb.

He has at least a vestigial bit of shame, at least about sex stuff, or he would've just whipped out his weird little mushroom dick and rubbed it all over Hillary in one of the debates (to the thunderous applause of tens of millions of chuds)

The common belief is that social security relies on perpetual population growth to sustain itself (as opposed to just not diverting its funding to tax cuts and forever war) so appointing an anti-condom zealot makes a perverse sort of sense

Some rando got run over by a truck, she read about it, and decided to lie to the whole world that it was a cartel attack.

The more she told the story the closer in relation to her he was, and more dramatic the action became.

Next week he'll be her brother who died 3 times in a John Wick shootout in the cartel's main hideout and 2 weeks from now it will be the plot synopsis to Commando and the Schwarzenegger character is her conjoined brother/husband.
