This is actually a great idea because now I will be able to identify the biggest effing morons in everyday life, including work.

This is just the dumbest shit I've ever seen. It's like if he said "anyone who calls positively charged particles 'protons' as opposed to the new more accurate term 'neutrons'" is an enemy!!

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)

Dear [name], For years, the Biden Administration overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov. That money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government, and now, I am returning it to you! With this Historic Action, my Administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the Obamacare ''Premium Tax" and issuing a one-time $500 REFUND to Americans who use the HealthCare.gov platform to purchase their health insurance, but who do not receive Taxpayer Subsidies to help pay for their Coverage. You have paid into this flawed System, and now you are finally getting something back. Healthcare Dollars should benefit Patients, not Insurance Companies or Government Bureaucrats. Since returning to office, I have fought to lower Healthcare Costs, increase Accountability, and Put Patients First. Through TrumpRx, we are delivering massive discounts on Household Prescription Drugs, and my Most-Favored-Nation Pricing Agreements have already saved Americans more than 1 Billion Dollars on much-needed Medications. We also secured an unprecedented 50 Billion Dollar investment to transform Rural Healthcare, expanded access to Health Saving Accounts for millions of people on Obamacare, and restored Pnce Transparency, all while roofing out the Waste, Fraud, and abuse across our Healthcare System. I am proud to return your money to you, and I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare. May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America! Sincerely, [signed] DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The centrist/non-partisan talking shops that have popped up lately like mushrooms are attacking the wrong thing. America isn't suffering from "polarization." It's suffering from right-wing radicalization against pluralism and democracy. Here's a great explainer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwW9...
