'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's partly my own issues at play; I've literally spent my life making excuses for people who have done damage to me, and I'm sick of it.
My therapist and I talked about exactly that this morning. And other stuff. Fucking gaslighting that reminds me of my childhood, for one.
I don't want to be tinfoil hatty, but this whole thing of attacking the media and immediately calling for a investigation into voter fraud seems like exactly the sort of thing to do to work towards subverting the next election.

Aside from being offensive and crazy, it also makes no sense. What "Feds" is he talking about? Elliot Ness?
Totally Elliot Ness.
Here's what's wrong with Obamacare: preventive care is free but you have to pay for diagnostic (at least on my insurance), so I'm thinking I won't go to the doctor about this vague lightheaded/swimmy feeling I've been having off and on for a while, because I don't want to pay for the bloodwork! But you know what, just thinking about it to type this makes me realize I think it's actually just very minor vertigo. So that's good. No doctor for me.
What "Feds" is he talking about? Elliot Ness?
Those magical Feds who interfere with the daily life of God-fearing Republicans. Logistics and bureaucracy are going to baffle him.
The Mexican President cancelled his trip to the US to meet with Trump.
And in this shot is affecting people I care about News, my cousin and his wife both work in science research, and the new administration is trying to cut funding for his research in half, which means he would likely lose his job. Because who needs renewable energy?
EPA budget cut rumors are currently a 10% across the board cut (=815 million), which follows a 2 billion cut in 2010. Today's rumor is air quality work will take a 50% budget cut. Because who needs to be able to breathe?
Hey, they don't have an EPA in China, and everything's fine there! [link]

Asthma and COPD will be super easy to treat once the ACA is gone!
...wait.
