  1. You don't say? Then why, pray tell, has our dear president decided to break the law instead of follow it? That's a rhetorical question. He does it because he thinks it doesn't pertain to him. Those that are hired to access it every day work under strict confidentiality laws and institutional rules. I would be fired for accessing my own kid's PHI if there is no clinical or otherwise justifiable need. Trump just mandated that a federal law enforcement agency, with zero training for handling PHI, receive the most sensitive and protected information available. The vast majority of which does not even assist them in their duties, since undocumented immigrants aren't eligible for Medicaid.
  2. What the hell would you post all day if not whatabouts? Sorry you're too dim to see a difference there. Sit down, slappy.

    Elon says that Trump is in the Epstein files.

    Or... JD Vance takes the reins, armed with higher intelligence, patience, forethought, maturity, and a fully streamlined movement full of sycophants and makes things worse.

    Yeah...I'm a bit worried

    Ya need to let this one go. When my staff were working forced OT and double time shifts during covid, I had a couple guys clear $100k on ~$20/hr jobs. They worked their asses off (or at least put in a ton of hours and sacrificed in their personal lives) for it.
  5. Well, with only infrequent exceptions (for emergency care in most cases) undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive Medicaid benefits. So the VAST majority of those ~80m people are legal US citizens. And their personal health information, which is protected by law, and which insurance and healthcare companies go to extreme lengths to maintain confidentiality for, was just given to ICE. I haven't been able to verify the extent of the information being released, but at the very least it's names, addresses, SS #'s and other info. I don't really want someone from ICE to know if my clientele is being seen for HIV, or a STD, or mental health evaluations. Or my SS. There are ways to do this that do not compromise millions of people, but that would have taken planning, patience, and foresight. We all know Trump is incapable of any of that. So he just said "F it" and broke the law. Again.

    That was surprising. Now hoping we can get some normal MAGA folks to see the light, not just this racist POS.
  7. Is there anything this guy can do that y'all won't just waive off? Disclosing any tiny shred of one patient's Personal Health Information with a third party would get me fired immediately, potentially with charges to follow. Our POTUS just gave a federal agency all of the PHI of ~80 million people. This is gross. If a Dem did this you guys would be howling about it.

    They rolled over and played dead in 2016 and haven't been revived since. But it's immaterial, since they're not in power at the moment, and they didn't authorize what's being done.

    Book banning, racketeering against law firms, racist policies, gestapo tactics, and now... releasing private health information! Trump administration hands over Medicaid recipients’ personal data, including addresses, to ICE Note: Trump and his DOJ have rubber stamped ICE access to ALL Medicaid recipients, not just illegals. What a violation. Trump's WAR ON THE POOR is going to result in dead people. Where did all the conservatives go? The ones that would decry this invasion of privacy by our government? Buncha Trumpcucks.
  10. I think the guy you're responding to might be one of the few that is legitimately a hateful, selfish, POS. Despite the arguing, I can count on one hand the guys here that I wouldn't willingly have a beer with. Seafoam is the index finger, #1 with a bullet, obviously. Then I counted Horsemanure:

    That is because the link doesn't support his assertion. I am also curious about the names of the many Dems that said they never wanted it released.

    Democrats Underwater in New Pole

    I would be more alarmed if this wasn't the case. The Dems have fumbled the last year and a half away being ineffectual, griping dipshits while the GOP happily turns the country into an autocracy. Unfortunately, the GOP will continue to piss off more voters by doing the opposite of what we want, and the Dems will clean up in the midterms. Then, having learned nothing about how badly they screwed up or why the nation hates them, they will go about their fuckery and call it a "mandate" just like the morons on the hill right now. We are all FUCT.
  13. A local public classic rock station plays old episodes on Saturday mornings. I listen if there's nothing better on, but there usually is.

    College Football 26 (video game)

    I don't play online typically, so I'll say no to joining a league. But in the few hours I've spent playing it, it seems like a big improvement over last year's version. Haven't really gotten into the dynasty stuff yet, though. One thing that always annoyed the hell out of me in past versions was how many passes would look like good throws by the QB, only to be muffed or dropped by the receiver. This version looks like it's more common for the QB to poorly place it, overthrow, etc. But I've only played with crappy QBs so far, so don't know what it looks like with a good one yet.

    I'm no expert, but if one is actively operating a human trafficking ring specializing in young women and serving some of the richest clientele in the world with the express purpose of blackmail, you'd never have enough copies of the evidence. This may even be beyond Trump if Epstein was active in intelligence gathering with clandestine organizations. It's possible Trump is being actively blackmailed right now.

    Look at the broken hope pope croak a joke about toking dope smoke's slippery slope. How does he cope?

    L.A. and nationwide ICE raids/protests thread

    Actually, they aren't. At least not simultaneously. Many agents are grumbling about what they are being told to do. They feel as though important investigations are being shelved indefinitely due to political pressure and the only thing that matters to Miller and the admin are the raw numbers of deportees. They DGAF about anything but quantity. So the gardeners and dishwashers will get just as much or more attention as the violent criminals.

    I doubt that as well. But it is time to admit that his immigration policy was terrible and that in the long run, it's a distinction without a difference.

    China can’t buy farmland!!

    Including realtors. I'm in the market for a house. Looked at one recently that was sold in January to a big local realtor. With zero improvements, he flipped the focker for a 50% profit in 3 weeks. The buyer then put a ton of work into it and trying to flip it for another 100% increase. I wonder why nobody can afford housing anymore? Good thing the schmuck that's already worth $30 million or so can make another quick buck by focking over his own customers.

    This filthy liberal is totally cool with Melvin being removed from our great nation.
  25. So this is like one of those offseason football coach meetings where they discuss strategy and try to glean ideas from each other? Workshopping better, more efficient ways to stimulate corruption?
