And the world's greatest perpetration of fraud has been committed by the current president & his thugs!

As always, Qasim, you bring us truth!

Shirley has spread his hatred in Minnesota for a good long time! He is looking to further his cause and trump is where he sees what he needs.

Thank you for getting the facts I intuitively knew. And what is most sad is that other media are reporting these lies as if they are facts! Sadly though, as my husband says, we're living in different worlds - the MAGA Mess and the rest of us.

So it's the two ever obvious sins of White America. Greed (Capitalism to the nth degree) and Racism. Now you have a prez who is the epitome of both. What could possibly go wrong? Qasim keep telling it like it is until such time as Americans get it! Universal healthcare for all is doable except they will have to deny their donors who, lets face it pay more to them than their jobs in government do. The fraud, waste and inefficiency starts at the TOP. How much you can give a politician is what counts. Over 70 countries give Entirely FREE healthcare paid for by their taxes! In the UK if your get ill on holiday there from a foreign land, they give you medical treatment even if your have to be hospitalised, for free! Yet they are nowhere near as rich as the USA! Think about people. You are being led down a road that's going to let you die. That's how much they value you if you can't afford to live. Even if you're a citizen!

But what about the actual fraud that is going on in Minnesota with fake daycares? Since everyone is doing it, it's okay? And your sleeple followers might actually want to watch the video for themselves. It's appalling! Not a Trump fan, and I hate fraud, and lying.

JD Vance also promoted cat and dog eating BS. More racist hate to trigger more of it!

“Shirley or MAGA figures are not interested in accountability. They are interested in scapegoating.” This is how entire groups are marginalized by people who project their fear, insecurity and self-loathing onto others. They need psychological counseling.

White Collar crimes are committed by White Men 75% of the time , if you need to find them look at the White House where grift is 24/7 , see the pale & stale of the Senate too. Where day trading and donors are all welcome .

You’re correct Qasim, fraud is fraud and it can be largely ignored or actively going after any citizen that is stealing money from our governments. Taxes are not collected to make certain people rich. It’s to make the country a better society with an emphasis on making life better for everyone, and especially better for less fortunate individuals.

Thank you for watching so I didn’t have to. A cogent and thoughtful presentation of the actual facts.

This is what propaganda always hopes people won’t do. Slow down. Check receipts. Separate accountability from scapegoating. When fraud becomes racialized instead of prosecuted, it’s no longer about justice. It’s about permission to aim fear downward while power stays untouched.

Once again, thank you for your solid explication of the facts behind this completely mad MAGA scapegoating of a vulnerable minority, this time in my home state of Minnesota. I will share this with people when they try to use this situation to call for the expulsion of Somalis.

Just an observation. Healthcare Conglomerates own every piece of where healthcare dollars go. Hospitals, physician offices, pharmacy benefits managers, mail order pharmacies, insurance companies and more. It is a cluster f*ck

Another important piece explaining all the facts. Get this out to the people who don’t subscribe to your newsletter or are on Substack. This is 1850’s USA overlaid with 20th century fascism-just heartbreaking, regressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that must be eliminated.
