He deliberately finds the most crowded elevator car to crassly fart in for attention, of course he gets it.

The media is blowing Biden’s documents ‘scandal’ out of proportion

Whell only feels butt-hurt when his Fuhrer is "mistreated" by the press.

DJT finds the most crowded elevator car to fart for attention, and of course it works.
Suprize, suprize!
It seems that releasing his latest fragrances in public isn't having quite the same affect lately, there is hope he fades with his stench.

A much more interesting article on CJR. Whell's World.

Fox News and the real insurrection
https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/...surrection.php

It’s worth briefly stating the obvious here: this is all a choice. For all the talk of ratings pressure and Newsmax “winning,” Fox remains a behemoth in a way that its right-wing TV rivals are not, endowed with huge financial and moral power. Baseless outrage sells, but it isn’t inevitable—it dominates Fox’s air because Fox’s management, from Murdoch down, wants it to. The new programming changes are just another reminder of that. We’ve all seen the consequences.

I wonder if Whell even knows that his constant bullshit campaign here is utterly pointless. He’s definitely one of their least talented trolls.

If your worldview is shaped by the likes of Esquire Magazine, you're likely beyond help.

Even the left-of-center fact-checkers can state the Dems are misleading on the topic of Medicare/Medicaid. Apparently, the Dems are employing less talented liars.

Rick Scott is advocating to sunset all federal programs entitlement in five years and then revisit them. What do you think will happen to Medicare and medicaid. For that matter, why don't Federal workers participate in Medicare and Medicaid?

Rescue America (?) like Trump is going to Save America? The only thing the Republicans do is Screw America like wanting to kill Affordable Healthcare.
If Rick Scott is as good at proposing policies as he is at picking Senate candidates, Lord help us all.

This retired Federal employee has been Medicare participant since turning 65 as do all other retired Feds upon turning 65. Medicaid is a welfare program and am pretty sure fulltime Federal employment would make one ineligible. Related article:

What sort of medical benefit does a Senator get upon retirement (two terms)?

As to Scott's new plan, that's a cave and backtrack. A close friend retired from the State Department and will ask what medical insurance he gets/has.

Scott's bill is BS, of course. It's centerpiece is it's bold protection of Social Security and Medicare-- it would Institute a requirement for a 2/3 vote of Congress to cut either program. Except the constitutional reality is Congress cannot bind itself like that, it would take only a majority vote to undo this fine bill. So this protection of Social Security and Medicare is hokum.

Also the Dems well never let it pass the House as it contains a poison pill--the repeal of the much needed 80 billion increment in IRS funding.
