You're wondering how they'd be so stupid - going back on their promise not to cut Medicare. I'm wondering how in hell so many Americans could be so stupid to think they wouldn't.
I'm sure Trump and his congressional enablers think it's a safe move. After all, the total number of Americans directly affected probably can't change the mid-terms, assuming they all vote.
But their extended families could.
So might the undertow effect - if enough Americans understand what's pullling them under.

The term "spam" for unsolicited mail is humorously linked to the famous "Spam" skit from Monty Python's Flying Circus, where the repeated mention of "spam" in a café drives the characters to frustration. This skit highlights the overwhelming and often unwanted nature of spam, paralleling how unsolicited emails clutter our inboxes.
I do not own any of this material; it's all courtesy of Monty Python. I only upload these videos because I'm tired of all the low-quality ones on #YouTube.
"End of the World" by Miley Cyrus is a powerful and thought-provoking track that delves into themes of existentialism and resilience. With its captivating lyrics and emotive delivery, this song from the album "Something Beautiful" showcases Cyrus's artistic evolution and her ability to connect with listeners on a deeper level.
🎵 LYRICS 🎵:
Today, you woke up, and you told me that you wanted to cry
The sky was falling like a comet on the fourth of July
Baby you've been thinking 'bout the future like it's already yours
Show me how you'd hold me if tomorrow wasn't coming for sure
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Let's spend the dollars you've been saving on a Mercedes Benz
And throw a party like McCartney with some help from our friends
Yeah let's go down to Malibu and watch the sun fade out once more
Show me how you'd hold me if tomorrow was coming for sure
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
Let's pretend it's not the end of the world
The sky is falling, falling like a comet now
I can see it coming down
The sky is falling, falling like a comet now
Ooh let's go to Paris
I don't care if we get lost in the scene
Paint the city like Picasso would've done in his dreams
Do all the things that we were way too terrified of before
I wanna take you to nirvana
We can't take it too far
Hit the bottom of the bottle and forget who we are
Hold me close, you know tomorrow isn't coming for sure
Let's pretend that it's not the end of the world
Let's pretend that it's not the end of the world
Let's pretend that it's not the end of the world
Let's pretend
It's not the end
Let's pretend
It's not the end
Let's pretend
It's not the end
Let's pretend that it's not the end of the world
The sky is falling, falling like a comet now
Let's pretend that it's not the end of the world
The sky is falling, falling like a comet now
Let's pretend that it's not the end of the world
The sky is falling, falling like a comet now
I can see it coming down

2025 marks a landmark year for Europe’s ‘bridge between Earth and space’. ESA’s Estrack satellite tracking network turns 50 – and with it, its deep space antenna in Cebreros, Spain, celebrates 20 years of connecting Earth to the agency’s most distant missions.
Fittingly, this celebration of technological excellence coincides with the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss II and the 50th anniversary of the European Space Agency. To honour this convergence of milestones, the European Space Agency and the Vienna Tourist Board are orchestrating a unique mission: broadcasting The Blue Danube Waltz to its destined home among the stars.
Don’t miss the live concert of the Wiener Symphoniker (Vienna Symphony Orchestra) on Saturday, 31 May. The event will start at 20:30 CEST and the transmission from ESA’s Cebreros antenna will occur at 21:30 CEST. The live stream can be followed via space.wien.info and the Vienna Instagram channel.

Sich ans Völkerrecht halten und einen Genozid stoppen?
Oder doch lieber am Genozid und an Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit/ Völkerrechtsverletzungen teilnehmen?
Außenminister Wadepfuhl (CDU) so: Völkerrecht bäh! Wenn wir aufhören Waffen zu liefern stoppt noch Irgendwer den Genozid. Geht ja gar nicht.
Vorsitzender der Grünen Banaszak so: Völkerrecht bäh! Wir müssen schon differenzieren zwischen bisschen mithelfen beim Genozid und viel mithelfen

Kanzler Merz hat deutliche Kritik an Israel geübt: Das Leiden der Bevölkerung im Gazastreifen lasse sich nicht mit dem Kampf gegen die Hamas begründen. Die Lufthansa-Gruppe setzt ihre Flüge ins israelische Tel Aviv bis Mitte Juni aus.tagesschau.de
»Israel sei zahlreichen Gefahren von außen ausgesetzt,«
Natürlich sollte jedes Land Gegner haben, das gerade einen Genozid durchführt, und seit Jahrzehnten Völkerrechtswidrige illegale Besatzung aufrecht erhält.
»Zugleich sei das Existenzrecht Israels Teil deutscher Staatsraison. Die Bundesregierung sei daher dazu verpflichtet, Israel bei der Gewährung seiner Sicherheit Beistand zu leisten«
Staatsräson ist verfassungsrechtlich nicht existent. Regierungen sind an die Verfassung gebunden.
»Israel bei der Gewährung seiner Sicherheit Beistand zu leisten, und dazu gehörten auch Waffenlieferungen«
Haben die Waffenlieferung Israel sicherer gemacht?
Macht ein Genozid & eine Besatzung von einem riesigen Gebiet, Zerstörung von Leben & Wohngebäuden sicherer?
Meine These ist dass die Unterstützung Israels mit Waffen Israel eher unsicherer macht, den sie hilft bei der Besatzung, beim Töten von Menschen. Beim Genieren von Feinden, die gute Gründe haben das israelische Militär zu hassen.
Völkerrechtlich verpflichtet ist der deutsche Staat nichts dafür zu tun dass dabei hilft die Besatzung der palästinensischen Gebiete aufrecht zu erhalten.
Deutschland ist völkerrechtlich dazu verpflichtet keine Waffen zu liefern wenn nur die Wahrscheinlichkeit für Kriegsverbrechen und andere Völkerrechtsverletzungen bestehen.
Unterstützung, Billigung und Verharmlosung von Genozid & Kriegsverbrechen ist in Deutschland gesetzlich verboten.
»Der Iran habe etwa den festen Willen, Israel zu vernichten. "Gegenüber einer solchen Bedrohung darf Israel nicht schutzlos ausgeliefert sein«
Und was ist mit dem festen Willen der israelischen Regierung jede Lebensgrundlage für Palästinenser in Gaza zu zerstören und ihren Plänen sie aus Gaza zu vertreiben?
Ist ist eine israelische Auslöschungsdrohung ethisch besser als eine iranische?
Sind getötete palästinensische Kinder wertloser als israelische?
»"Wir müssen unterscheiden lernen zwischen Handlungen der israelischen Regierung und Israel als Ganzem, da gibt es große Unterschiede." Damit könne zur Versachlichung der Debatte beigetragen werden"«
Hält man uns alle für doof? Natürlich geht's ja um Regierungshandeln um Handeln des Staates als ganzen. Bei Waffenlieferungen geht's doch explizit um Regierung, Um die Machtmittel der Regierung.
Um Verbrechen die die Regierung mit den Machtmitteln des Staats begeht.
Eine Versachlichung wäre ja erstmal zur Kenntnis zu nehmen, dass wir als deutscher Staat noch immer Waffen an Leute liefern die quasi jedes Verbrechen begehen dass das Völkerrecht kennt. Das wir als Staat Komplizen sind.
Wir liefern zusammen mit der USA die Waffen mit denen Zehntausende Kinder getötet wurden sind.
Wie soll Versachlichung in dem Zusammenhang aussehen?
Palästinensisches Leben, palästinensische Menschenwürde kommt bei all den Äußerungen nicht vor.
Es geht immer nur um das Problem für Israel, für das israelische Image und israelischen Sicherheit. Und ganz viel um die eigene deutsche Betroffenheit
Um die Kinder die von unseren Bomben zerfetzt oder verbrannt werden, oder wegen der mit deutscher Zustimmung verhängten Hungersnot verstorbene Kleinkinder geht's auch nicht.
Dutch protests over Gaza: A painful truth for an Israeli abroad
Last week, the largest Dutch protest in 20 years saw over 100,000 people rally in The #Hague and other cities, calling for a #Gaza ceasefire, protesting against genocide, and urging the Dutch government to change its policy towards #Israel and demand urgent humanitarian aid for Gaza.
An Israeli emigrant in the #Netherlands reflects on the large-scale protests. While acknowledging initial discomfort with past pro-Palestinian demonstrations, which he describes as “scary,” he admits that the current protests, focused on humanitarian concerns and a clear condemnation of the war's impact on civilians, resonate with a growing sense of unease about the situation in Gaza.
[…] How does it feel when, throughout the country where you live, massive demonstrations are taking place calling to boycott and ostracize the place where you were born and raised, the country you love? Saying this is as painful as removing a shard of glass from deep within the flesh, but it is just as necessary: they are right. They haven't always been right, and they aren't right about everything. But today, now, on this matter - they are right. The situation in Gaza has simply spiraled out of control, and there probably never was a real guiding hand, one that sets goals and executes them. The vast majority of us, unfortunately, have fallen into the maze of mirrors called "living under Netanyahu's rule," and we mistakenly thought that the war has a purpose, justification, a possible end. Currently, it has none of those.
The international community views the war with increasing alarm, he says, regardless of Israeli justifications or narratives.

Calvin is funny, but he's also, in so many ways, a bad person. I think Bill Watterson thought so too. That's why he gave Calvin no friends. Calvin has to imagine his toy is his friend.
I'd like to see a strip about Susie. It could include dealing with Calvin. I'm impressed that Susie can often treat Calvin as a friend, even though Calvin has never tried to deserve her friendship.
Or how about centering the strip on Calvin's parents. Lots of parents struggle with brats like Calvin. Sometimes you need to laugh or you'll cry.

in reply to JamesWNeal • • •Then there's the short-sighted American propensity to assume other Americans are all freeloaders. So many of us will hook line and sinker that dangling "they should all be working" bait.
Odd though, that proving they're working isn't going to be easy. Then there's that clause that keeps them from getting Obamacare if they lose Medicare.
Wonder how many folks will work out the truth - Republicans want to get the federal government out of the business of helping its citizens.
