Congratulations Zohran Mamdani…You and NYC are now in the crosshairs of an aggressive and very vengeful Donald Trump.

Aren’t you an ACA fan? If so, you could get a heavily subsidized ACA plan if you no longer have income during the special enrollment period. There are no restrictions on assets, just income. You could keep your savings and not go bankrupt.

What about apply for SSDI? You could Medicare for up to 24 months.

If you have a 401(k) and are not drawing on it, Medicaid can’t touch it.

Glad I could help.

What if it's not the special enrollment period? (And keep in mind, you guys want to kill Obamacare and go back to the shit-show we had before it.)

No one should jump through these kinds of hoops to get health care. No one.

But I thought I was just a dumb ole’ redneck who lives in a trailer park and votes against my own self-interest? Which is it?

Well, you know the saying, you can take the boy out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the boy.

You are probably correct to some extent, though, it is hard to imagine being the spot that I see some in. Illness or disability aside, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who rely on the government for their keep. I know for an absolute fact that I could walk away from everything I have today and start over and make ends meet without government assistance, and I am no spring chicken. There are no excuses.

Yeah, if you need to believe that... I think we need to go back to the "Check your privilege" part.

I have been stopped for fitting the description of a drug dealer in a bad neighborhood.

ANd if you were black and stopped for that in a white neighborhood, they'd have probalby put a bullet in you and a drop piece in your hand. CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE.

Right, lets give everyone who sneaks into the country amnesty. Now explain how that is different than having an open border.

Actually, I was saying on a case by case basis, but never mind. We used to have open borders. If you could get on a boat and get here from Europe, you were in. It was only when non-white folks started showing up that the white people starting screaming, "Oh, Muh Borders!!!"

You don't ask WHY people cross the border illegally. They do so because some rich person who doesn't want to pay an American a fair wage to do a dirty job is willing to hire them.

Yeah, I also treat bank robbers like criminals for taking money from the bank. They were just trying to make a better life for themselves, right? You are kind of stupid.

Um, what are undocumented people "taking" from you, exactly? I mean, if you are losing out on a job to someone who has no money, connections, and a limited grasp on the English Language, that's on you.

Neat, a veteran who swore to fight for a country which he despises. I am just glad you aren’t the norm.

I don't despise my country, I'm just honest about what it is. Only a child responds to valid criticism with "WHY DO YOU HATE ME?"

My high ranking(retired Col, Lt. Col.) armed forces relatives would not agree with your sentiments.

Again, there's that privilege thing that needs to be checked. I mean, it's nice that things work out for the officers, but how many former enlisted men do we see on the street living out of cardboard boxes because we didn't take care of them.

Most countries were built on indiscretions of some sort. Cry me a river and get over it.

Really? Which ones? Be specific!

"TIMMY DID IT, TOO!!!" You are hitting all the Child-like tantrums today.
