Health Care For "Illegal Immigrants"? 

At the center of the federal government shutdown is an argument over free and 
subsidized health care: who should get it and who shouldn't.

Republicans say Democrats won't vote for their funding package unless it 
includes "free health care for illegals." Democrats say they want to prevent 
millions of Americans from losing access to Medicaid and lower cost health 
insurance.

Here's what's behind the political rhetoric.

Can 'illegal immigrants' get federally funded health care?

No.

But some immigrants here legally were among those who lost access in the 
Republican bill. Democrats want to restore Medicaid and marketplace access to 
where they were at the start of the summer, to a time when millions more 
Americans, and SOME lawful immigrants, could qualify.


In other words, the Democrats want to restore giving freebies out to 
immigrants to BUY the immigrant vote.

If the benefits are restored, ILLEGALS would take advantage and do what 
they've been doing to the last few years... taking from American's pockets, 
that which THEY never earned.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has 
been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the 
point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the 
Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or 
stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The 
president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were 
all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's 
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of 
hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from 
reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk 
opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump 
announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would 
suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. 
There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be 
received positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 
2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late-
night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first 
coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003. 
The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in 
otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - 
the very existence of George W. Bush."
