Edit: *Medicare* So our senile and corrupt president has issued a one-time $90 payment to Medicare recipients here in the US of A. This payment, coming as it does weeks before the mid-term elections, and in the wake of his recent ludicrous statements about $5,000 payments to Americans 'if the Republicans win,' is a thinly veiled bribe. So I did the rational thing and donated that amount to progressive candidates in close congressional races, as well as some to help a family in #gaza . #uspol
