Republican Sen. Joni Ernst was met with shouts and groans when she said “we all are going to die” as she addressed potential changes to Medicaid eligibility at a town hall in north-central Iowa on Friday.

How many in her audience were paid Democrat shills and activists

Yes we all die

I just ate a booger. 

 

 

I think we all need to take a break soon, and heal our self, especially the far right and far left. Somewhere on the journey, they obviously lost themselves. Sad, sad statue

 

 

While the song doesn't explicitly address political themes, the core message of self-acceptance and finding peace within oneself could be seen as relevant to political discourse. In a world often characterized by division and conflict, the song's message encourages individuals to focus on their own internal state and find meaning beyond external pressures. 

Ultimately, the meaning of the song is open to interpretation, and listeners can draw personal connections based on their own experiences and perspectives.

How many in her audience were paid Democrat shills and activists? Is that a hard question?

Do you mean like those Republicans that Musk offered a million dollar prize if they could prove they voted for his choice of candidate?

Yeah good luck with that message. 

I think it's too deep for people.

No you can slink off now

Butler County, Iowa, has a population of about 15,000 and in 2024 the voting was

Candidate Total Votes % Votes
Donald Trump (R) 5,784 72.1%
Kamala Harris (D) 2,144 26.7%

So if there were outsiders of any persuasion in the meeting with Sen. Ernst, the locals would know who they were.

I have no idea how many were in there but based on prior practice and news, its safe to conclude there were some. Is that not a valid conclusion?

According to the NY Times, Sen. Ernst's comment was in response to someone yelling from the audience "People are going to die" following some of the Senator's comments on Medicare/Medicaid.

-- doesn't say who was that person.

Do tell. Did you do a head count? The demographics in Parkersburg skew to older people; 45% over the age of  45.   Overall, 23% are over age 65.  It is 99% white. The video I saw was  older white  people, which follows the city demographic.

 

It looks like you missed  what Ernst said,   Ernst made clear Friday that any measure that emerges from the Senate will look different from the House version.      If the  Senate  does not pass the House Bill and instead  changes the  Bill, then the Trump big and beautiful Bill won't get passed. The House barely agreed on  the Bill it sent to the Senate. It is unlikely that it would agree to the Senate changes.

 

Looks like you will be having TACOs for dinner hombre.

Good point. You could also say that the Democrat 26.7% showed up since everyone else is working.

 

OTOH, thois whole topic is sort of stupid. After all, Bernie and AOC draw big crowds, does anyone think either will ever be President?  Heckling at a town hall does not a blue movement make.

Looks like your hate for the USA is all consuming. This new meme is not very clever, try another, your side has no solution other than death to their enemies, you know, the folks that seek a balanced budget, oppose waste,  and oppose misogyny and infanticide and violence.

 

The bill will pass. 

So if the person who yelled out from the audience was a local Democratic, maybe he was a shill but not a paid outside shill, or in the now common parlance, a disrupter.

Or maybe he was yet another maga that has finally figured out that he got lied to over and over and over by the world's biggest con man.

How would you - an upstanding Republican of the highest order - react to that sort of answer from a politician with no doubt the best of the best health care.

TACO is not a meme.  What hate? IHow is it hateful to  reference the demographics and the Senator's statement. 

She has stated that the House Bill will not pass as  written. The Senator is in the majority on that  position as it  is a view shared by many Republican Senators. Come back and crow when the  Senate passes the House Bill as written.

You wont leave like your election prediction buddies will you? 

(Speaker) Johnson added that Congress must pass the package by July 4, especially given the mid-July "deadline" to address the debt limit to avoid a default.
