Boris and Natasha or Trump Disciple?

It’s tough not to compare Donald or Elon (or other White House cast members) to Boris and Natasha.

“Senator Joni Ernst, a Republican from Iowa, was fielding questions in a town hall meeting about the cuts to Medicaid included in the domestic policy bill working its way through Congress, when someone in the audience yelled out that ‘people are going to die.’ ‘Well, we all are going to die,’ Ms. Ernst responded.” — MSNBC

With all the crap coming out of our elected officials’ mouths these days, it’s tough not to compare Donald or Elon (or other White House cast members) to Boris and Natasha — the Russian spies on The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, the popular cartoon show.

Natasha: “Think darling, think. There must be something truly rotten we can do today.”

Boris: “I’m thinking. I’m thinking. But all I can come up with is making Moose and Squirrel Show an hour longer.”

Natasha, embracing Boris: “Just like you, darling. Always trying to help others get a little more pain out of life.”

The senator from Iowa played Natasha recently when she told her constituents at a town hall meeting that “we’re all going to die”. This is true. We’re all on that flight to another world, but with a little help from Boris’s plan to cut Medicaid, some of us will be arriving earlier. Our healthcare system is already a shit show but with these cuts, it’ll turn into an episode of Dateline, only the bad guys aren’t your cheating husband or the creepy guy down the street. It’s your country.

We’ve all wondered how our lives will end. But, good news. With Boris’s plan, we’ll no longer have to think about it. Have cancer, diabetes or heart disease? With no more annoying chemotherapy appointments, heart bypass surgeries, affordable insulin, or clinical trials we’ve got our answers.

This is a new and improved country. In the old days (four months ago), the senator from Iowa would be committing political suicide for her words. In the old days, a congressman or senator, even a sitting president (!) promoting this bigly beautiful cherished unnasty bill would be committing political suicide. But since they’re flying this plane this will not happen. What will happen is something even Moose and Squirrel can’t stop.

Boris and Natasha will finally win.
