“Everything else — the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy — is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions,” Vance declared. Throwing millions off their health insurance is not minutia, but hey, they might get coverage if they go to work as camp wardens.

Morally and fiscally repellent, these camps are about to become commonplace, as established by law and funded by this “beautiful bill” - the very same law that will strip Americans of health insurance, take food away from children, end the fight against climate change, all to give more money to the wealthiest amongst us.

Trump's Budget Bill Puts Project 2025 into Law. It's a Tyrant's Dream Come True.

If Trump's budget bill passes, his executive orders effectively become the law of the land. And, just like that, we will have undone the American experiment and given all the power to one man.

As The Republican Party of the United States of America has embraced an inhumane, barbaric politics that encourages torture, is killing millions of the poorest people in the world, is building concentration camps on our soil and will now do clear, purposeful harm to tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of people here in America. They are making America, this great country, poorer, weaker, less safe, less free and a global pariah. They are strengthening the dark hands of China and Russia, and other autocrats around the world. They are stealing the future of our kids and our grandkids. In what is the most insulting betrayal of tomorrow’s Independence Day holiday one can imagine they have abandoned our Constitutional order and after 250 years of We The People are determined to make Kings and oligarchs great again on this land…….

Cognitive decline or no the fact remains Trump is an evil and dangerous person surrounded by people who have no suspicion of cognitive decline and are just as evil and dangerous. I saw his response to the question in real time and no it didn’t make sense, but what disturbed me more was the joking and glib comments he made to reporters as he was leaving the White House to go on the concentration camp tour. Whats so damn funny about human beings locked in cages surrounded outside them by alligators and poisonous snakes? His comments didn’t show his decline but they definitely showed his depravity.

Trump doesn’t actually laugh but the glee he and his equally depraved group of sadists showed during the tour said it all. Watching it made me think Kristi Noem missed her calling. A career as a dominatrix would be very fitting. These are incredibly sick people, the whole crew. Even if Trump were to fall apart completely we’d still be stuck with them so on a certain level his cognitive decline is beside the point.
