Taking healthcare away is considered violence in this household.

“We will give them the money, but we’re going to hold it and only release it after they propose an act on a comprehensive corrective action plan to solve the problem,” Oz said. “If Minnesota fails to clean up the systems, the state will rack up a billion dollars of deferred payments this year.”

Fuck these backwards demands.

If Minnesota gives them a plan, they essentially admit they have been defrauding the people.

If they refuse, the money is withheld (at least until a judge makes them pay.)

And couchfucker has repeatedly made these kinds of demands. He's good at coming up with questions where answering them in any fashion benefits him.

The ONLY move that Walz really has is to vehemently and unequivocally deny the underlying premise.

You smoking something bad if you think this admin is getting charged with anything.

Sorry to say but you're smoking worse if you think that. Many people are active and the more the better. Saying it like it won't make it any less true

RICO + felony murder rule.

When will these idiots learn that the way to lower fraud and crime is to stop lowering everything else?

Want to reduce medical fraud? Make it cheaper.

Want to reduce property crime? Bring more people out of poverty.

Taking more shit away incentivizes more fraud.

That's not their actual goal.

Indeed, they are the source of massive amounts of fraud.

They could start with Noem's bang plane or how Pedonald managed to grift 1.4+ billion in one year, or WTF Kash Patel is doing flying overseas to drink beers with hockey players or flying his girlfriend around the country?

Nah, we should start by yanking away critical medical care of the most vulnerable people in an entire state.

As a minnesotan, we need to stop paying federal taxes then. Fuck em.

JD just trying to stay relevant because I've completely forgot about him. The only thing I can recall is hearing about him hosting Charlie Kirk's show. He hasn't done shit otherwise

He also sexually assaults couches.

That's why Charlie Kirk's wife wears leather pants.

Vance and Oz kill people in pursuit of a made up boogeyman.

Republicans (all of them) sure like killing kids.
