Not to mention no one can tell us what the actual underlying crime was from the 34 counts that was supposed to have occurred to raise them to felonies. The judge never said one was committed. He basically told the jury that if the merely THINK one of three might have occurred (and the jury didn't even have to agree on which one) that they could say he was guilty of committing a felony.
Hey Meathead, the entire Biden\Harris 4 year debacle was pretty "unhinged" in the eyes of the American voters .....

Should be a good game. Shelbyville beat Waskom (54-48) and lost to Joaquin (28-44). Beckville beat Joaquin (28-24) and lost to Waskom (17-31).
Give me Beckville by 1 score.
Anyone factoring in the Shelbyville loss without Barnes at QB to Joaquin into the equation is making a big mistake ....

You can sit there and say "healthcare" this and "healthcare" that.....but the fact that $88 billion in PROFITS tells me something different. Because that is after the costs of shelling out "all" that money for all of those claims and HIGHER ADMINISTRATIVE costs you were complaining about. And yet, after all of those administrative costs that have soared to NEW heights, they still had $88 BILLION in profit. So continue to defend companies that continue to screw people over, because the US Government MANDATED that we ALL have health insurance, and yet I imagine that 50% of the populations still doesn'it, and those of us that do, are getting bent over, because NO ONE in government does a darn thing about it. Because the American Taxpayer PAYS their insurance. SMH.
It tells me that their profit margin is not that big and you are sidetracked by something that really isn't out of line .... There are a lot of things we should be concerned about with healthcare administration and soaring costs .... Their gross profits is not near the top of the list ....

I didn't think Trump would do the unhinged things he said he'd do. What the heck? | Opinion
Rex Huppke, USA TODAYUpdated ·4 min readWhoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. President-elect Donald Trump has started appointing screwballs for important government positions, making plans for immigrant detention camps and leaning, authoritarian-style, on Republicans in Congress to obliterate check and balances?
Are you telling me the man who said he was going to do all these crazy things is actually going to do all these crazy things? What the heck?
I was told by many Trump supporters that he’s a showman who talks tough, but when he gets into office again he’ll govern like a sensible conservative, just like he didn’t do the first time around.
I am shocked to see Trump do exactly what he told people he'd do
And now I find the next president is, in fact, going to let a certifiable nutball like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild” on American health and medicine? I mean, when Trump said he was going to let Kennedy “go wild” on American health and medicine, I assumed he was kidding around. And besides, I was mad that eggs are expensive.
But now it looks like vaccines are going to become optional and Americans will be told the best way to protect against infectious diseases is to put a clove of garlic in your ear and avoid processed foods.
I am shocked – shocked, I tell you! – that a presidential candidate who spoke in run-on sentences that sounded like they were written by a dumb version of Jack Kerouac on a Benzedrine bender might have actually been telling the truth about his intentions.
Trump is letting Elon Musk run the country, because of course he is
Trump has appointed unelected billionaire weirdo Elon Musk to a fake department he claims will slash and burn the federal government in the name of imagined efficiency. And since nobody on Trump’s transition team apparently knows what “efficiency” means, Musk can’t do it alone, so Trump paired him with another wealthy weirdo, Vivek Ramaswamy, who talks like he should be selling Veg-O-Matics on late-night TV infomercials.
Elon Musk joins former President Donald Trump on stage as Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., on October 5, 2024. I mean, just because Trump has spoken highly of Ramaswamy and had Musk more or less by his side since before the election, saying he would put Musk in charge of government efficiency, I never expected that … ohhhh, OK, this is starting to make sense now.
So I guess when Trump said he'd do lots of crazy stuff he was being serious
Apparently Trump DID mean all the noodle-brained things he said over and over and over again during the campaign. Things that included being a dictator, but just for the first day of his administration. And rounding up millions upon millions of immigrants and stashing them in detention camps. And punishing his political enemies, and giving police officers greater immunity protection, and implementing massive tariffs and pardoning the convicted Jan. 6 attackers.
FILE PHOTO: U.S. President-elect Donald Trump gestures as he meets with House Republicans on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., November 13, 2024. REUTERS/Brian Snyder/File Photo I guess I just thought him saying those things, and the media reporting on those things, and pundits warning that Trump will definitely do the things he keeps saying he’s going to do … well, like I said, eggs were expensive, and I figured, “Nah, he’s not gonna do all that.”
Boy do I have expensive eggs on my face.
This guy’s gonna do all that and a whole lot more.
Anyone shocked by what Trump's doing just wasn't paying attention
But don’t worry, I won’t complain about it now. The last thing I need is Attorney General Matt Gaetz coming after me.
And besides, I’ve got to stock up on garlic cloves to keep my family safe from infectious diseases before Trump’s tariffs make garlic unaffordable. Of course that might not matter once Musk and Ramaswamy do away with the Department of the Treasury and force all of us to use cryptocurrency and go broke.
It’s strange how all the things we were explicitly told would happen are now going to happen. It really makes you think.
Or at least wish you had done so sooner.
Yea, America overwhelmingly voted for and approves of the things he said he would do ....
Unhinged things? You mean like Biden/Harris open borders? Defund the police? Weaponizing the FBI and DOJ? Those things are pretty unhinged in my book ....

With Barnes playing on offense, the defense won't be on the field nearly as much ... takes a lot of pressure off their defense .... against Joaquin, the defense was gasses ....

NO, you are just making excuses for your business. Healthcare insurance is a scam....the government influenced it, and they are making BILLIONS because of it. Government's interference and mandating we ALL have health insurance has caused rising prices and record profits. Imagine that. Percentages do not matter when it comes to $88 BILLION in profit.
Do you realize how big an industry "healthcare" is? .... It dwarfs most of the largest companies on America .... $88 billion is only around 3% profit .... that's really quite small compared to GM, IBM or other large companies profit margins .... your flippant dismissal of this fact is quite telling ....

Why does percentage matter.....it was $88 BILLION profit......are you telling me that $88 Billion profit that might be 3% profit, isn't too much. If 3% is profit, how much money is going through the hands of insurance companies?
I am not looking at this from the wrong perspective. And I understand if you are an insurance sales person and don't like your industry being attacked. I feel the same way when people get on here and try to destroy the public education system with their videos and voucher programs, knowing that it IS NOT the teachers that are the problem but the government rules & regulations.
$88 billion profit is a LOT of money. I don't care who you are. And if all the employees were getting shares of stocks through a 401K plan, then I could see parts of that being used for it, but we all know that corporate greed has done away with 401K plans for the younger generations, because they don't want the hassle and the personnel to do it.
I complain about big oil and their profits also. Especially when the government is giving them subsidies and write offs that the normal person doesn't get. I mean does Exxon really need subsidies to make a profit? Does Blue Cross & Blue Shield need subsidies to make a profit? I doubt it in both cases.
Yes, the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) administers the Federal Employee Program (FEP), a government-subsidized health insurance plan for federal employees and retirees:Government contributionThe federal government contributes up to 75% of the premium for any one plan, and 72% of the weighted average premium for all plans.And here is what teachers have to deal with.....And you wonder why I am so ticked off about insurance. My federal tax dollars pay 75% of government employee insurance and Texas will ONLY allow districts to pay $150 and the state contributes a whopping $75. That is 6% of our insurance costs per month.Are we not considered "state employees" when it comes to retirement and rules and regulations, yet we are NOT treated as such. Because full time state employees get their health insurance for free......The percentage of health insurance that teachers pay in Texas varies by district and family size, but on average, teachers in Texas pay 70% of their monthly premiums:- District contribution: The local school district contributes a minimum of $150 per employee per month, while the state contributes $75 per employee per month. However, many districts contribute more than the minimum.
- Family size: Districts may not contribute anything toward a teacher's family's premium.
- Total cost: Teachers in Texas pay an average of $1,121 per month for coverage, compared to $546 nationally.
- The Teachers' Retirement System (TRS) offers health benefits to about 444,000 active teachers and their family members. The TRS health benefit plan is funded by TRS, but the local school district is the primary employer.
I see my point that flew over your head .....

Because NO matte how you look at it. $88 billion is NOT small.
You are looking at it from the wrong perspective .... If their profit margin was as high as most businesses, that $88 billion would look like chicken
feed .... People see that huge number and assume they are price gouging .... same thing with Big Oil .... Why don’t people complain about companies that make 50 or 60% profit 
? ..... The librard Dims and their Media buddies attack health care profits because they want government controlled Healthcare ... they want control of the $$$$ ..... tru storie .....

Well what I would like to know is if I went to the doctor and said "I would like to pay cash instead of using my insurance" how much it would cost compared to how much the doctor's office would bill insurance.

You have to secure the border first, or they will beat the federal agent home.
Nobody has a problem in shipping back people who end up in the county jail for whatever crime.
This is the key to the whole operation .... if you don't secure the border first, nothing else matters and you are just pissing in the wind .... Key to the operation is stopping them at the border .... stopping the illegal border crossings, stopping the drug cartels and human trafficking .... The Border Patrol isn't up to the job .... that first has to be understood by all .... they are out manned, out gunned and woefully under equipped ..... it's going to take the MILITARY to stop the illegal crossings and secure the border ....
Until this is done .... talking about mass deportations is just all talk ....
