Uber rich Mitch McConnel's comments on the massive Medicaid cuts (that will affect tons of MAGAs): "They'll Get Over It".

Napoleon said:
Mitch McConnell’s net worth is a measly $35 million. If that is “uber rich” to you then your account books must be a financial horror show.

I’d take it. I’d do what rich folks do. I’d invest it and be making 10%+ on it, making $3.5M/yr, borrow at 6% against the equity, not touch the principle or the investment return, and pay ZERO tax on everything. All I’d pay is the 6% to the bank, and if I’m a heavy investor in the bank I’m paying myself.

Guys like you just don’t get it. I worked and saved two careers, averaging around 70 hours a week work for much of my work years, to arrive at a low six figure income in retirement.

Now get this and understand what it means. That low six figure income allows me to eek out a middle-class lifestyle yet I’m in the 8th percentile of income in the U.S.

That means NINTY-TWO PERCENT of Americans are worse off than I. Only a bit more than $100K in this America means 92% of Americans are making less than you.

Starting to understand?
 
I don’t think they’ll get over it. There is a decent chance they won’t express their hardships because cult. Admitting you made a mistake is a cardinal sin in Trump world.

Is Donald Trump a thief, adulterer, conman and felon who uses extortion and social media bullying to get his way?

Repeating it won't make it more relevant. I can't help you if you're terrified of the topic.

Could have. But they went with the insider trading thing instead. Much more lucrative.

You're too scared to answer because then you're trapped.

That's funny.

It's funny that you can't stay on topic, and that you think you have some kind of idiotic Trump card, because you falsely assume I give a crap about Trump. THAT is funny, and a little sad actually.

Dude, just admit you can't say anything bad about Trump. At least people here would gain an ounce of respect for you for telling that truth.

I say bad stuff about Trump all the time. That has nothing to do with this topic. What I don't do is run like a scared little child and change the topic when I'm losing an argument, like you're doing now.

No, you're scared to answer a simple question about Trump in this thread because if you do then you're trapped.

And you know it so now you're just doing anything you can to try to wiggle out of it.

Not the most integrity that I've ever seen.

The lucrativeness of insider trading pales next to the naked bribery of starting a bitcoin- like business and granting exclusive access and tours of the WH to top coin holders, though.

No I'm not. I just refuse to play your idiotic game. Your question has nothing to do with the thread.

But it's absolutely the case that you're terrified to address my comment and stick to the topic.

Taking away millions of Americans’ health care is definitely a cut. To those people and the hospitals that close, semantics won’t be very relevant.

Don’t forget massive licensing fees for brand naming billion dollar real estate deals with foreign investors directly tied to their governments.. Mustn't forget those.

I have to assume you meant it pales next to the naked bribery and influence peddling of the Biden crime family. Yeah, I agree.

Okay, it’s stripping million of Americans of their health care and dealing a death knell to rural health care.

It's not stripping millions of their health care. It's an increase in spending but not as much when you increase something it's not being cut.
 
CaughtInThe said:
I mean, our Southern states are so ****ed. I'm not sure I could list all the ways (from Medicaid cuts to the eventual Medicare cuts to no FEMA during hurricanes to no workers in the fields, to higher prices, etc).

It's complete madness.

11 million Americans are about to lose their health care. Your bizarre denial of this fact suggests you know this is bad.

10.9 million people would lose health insurance under Trump’s tax cut bill, CBO projects

'Big, beautiful bill' would result in 10.9 million people losing health insurance, primarily Medicaid.
