The DUmpster / Open enrollment is insane

Open enrollment is insane

Only in America.
Open enrollment is a smoke and mirrors struggle. The insurance companies do not present the details of your coverage and limitations in clear or understandable language. Multiple exclusions and exceptions make deciding on a plan that covers complex care daunting. It’s rigged in the insurance industry’s favor. It is ridiculous that we go through this torment every year. We get screwed and insurance companies get wealthy. Universal healthcare for all.

51. The Reich Wing has been fighting tooth and nail to end the social safety net for decades....
The HATED Social Security when it was formed during the Roosevelt Administration.
They HATED Medicare when it was started during the Johnson Administration.
They HATED the Affordable Care Act when passed during the Obama Administration

(anyone see a pattern here? What's the common denominator?)

So they have done everything in their power to make it difficult. Same with voting and individual rights.

It's all they have, since they don't have any policies other than violence and billionaire tax cuts.

Obama care ruined it all but you would never admit it. Free health care price tag about around 50 trillion a year? How much are you assholes chipping in?

Report: Ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Had Third Affair with Another Company Employee
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2026/11/12/report-ousted-nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-had-third-affair-with-another-company-employee/

Quote
Jensen Huang, the Nvidia chief executive who was forced out today over his China spy scandal and extramarital affairs, had an intimate relationship with a second employee beyond the executive previously reported, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Reuters reported the new relationship came to light after Huang’s first affair with an employee came to light citing two sources familiar with the situation. Reuters is not naming the employee, and attempts to reach her were not successful.

The disclosure adds a third relationship to the scandal that ended Huang’s tenure at the helm of the chipmaker. He resigned on Thursday after reports surfaced of affairs with two women: Alice Huang, whom US intelligence suspects of being a Chinese spy, and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care.

Jensen Huang had an affair with a third woman.

France is criminalizing critics of Islam — instead of the rioters destroying their cities
https://nypost.com/2026/11/11/opinion/french-author-michel-houellebecq-charged-with-hate-crime-for-criticizing-islam/

Quote
France’s cities are burning. For weeks, their populace has been terrorized by so-called protesters, who are smashing store windows, lighting cultural landmarks on fire, and assaulting citizens who stand up to them.

And yet the French legal system is spending its time charging writers for having an opinion about such behavior.

On Nov. 10, iconic French novelist Michel Houellebecq was charged with hate speech for comments made four years ago in a 2022 interview with Front Populaire in which he criticized Islam and expressed concerns about mass immigration into France.

France, like many European nations are economically depressed. Leftist run places are unstable and economically weak. Radical Islam and leftists are the same thing.

Shock Poll: One in Five College Students Say U.S. Deserved 9/11, Nearly Half Want Socialism
https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2026/11/11/34146602shock-poll-one-in-five-college-students-say-u-s-deserved-911-nearly-half-want-socialism/

Quote
A shock survey reveals more than one in five college students say the U.S. deserved the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack that killed nearly 3000 people while targeting the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The stunning findings do not stop there, with nearly half of the respondents saying they would rather live under socialism and a plurality reporting that Palestine would be a better ally of the U.S. than Israel.

As the New York Post put it in a report on the poll Wednesday, “Hasan Piker has lots of company,” a reference to the radical left podcaster who played a far-left part in Tuesday’s midterm elections by promoting and supporting successful socialist candidates.

Nearly a quarter of college students think America deserved 9/11. They are more likely to prefer socialism. Color me unsurprised.

Huang has resigned, probably to preempt being canned.

I would of thought he would resigned by the end of this month.

TPUSA students warn campus hostility toward conservatives is growing after Texas university attack
https://www.foxnews.com/media/tpusa-students-warn-campus-hostility-conservatives-growing-after-texas-university-attack

Quote
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) members involved in a violent confrontation at the University of Texas at Tyler say growing hostility toward conservative voices on college campuses is threatening open dialogue.

"The fact that we're there for open conversation on campus, it's sad that that's something that would make him be so aggressive towards us," TPUSA field representative Janae Jenson told "Fox & Friends" on Thursday.

Jenson, who appeared alongside fellow TPUSA member Davis Thrower, said the suspect, identified as Ciro Tomlian, 19, a former UT Tyler student, repeatedly approached their display, insulting the group before the confrontation turned physical.

Ciro Tomlian is nuts. Talk about evil.  :mental: :mental: :mental: :mental: :mental:

The NYPD responded to the incident at 59th Street and West Drive after receiving a 911 call.

Abigail Holbrook is deranged. She sounds like a terrorist.  :mental: :mental: :mental: :mental: :mental:

Salon.com is more reliable ... now that it has shut down, :rotf:  :tongue: .

This brings to mind that quote, supposedly from Jefferson:

Quote
“...the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

A quick clip from a vastly underrated 1994 movie "PCU" about "causeheads" and their ever changing priorities:
