I'm thinking Joe Lieberman, the U.S. senator who strongly advocated for the creation of a Department of Homeland Security following the terrorist attack on 9/11, must be rolling in his grave seeing how DHS is being used today. That DHS is even thinking about using migrants for a game show is reminiscent of the wild west shows that exploited Native Americans for entertainment and profit.
Those advocating for the preservation of Medicaid are heroes. Those wanting to cut important and needed services are jerks. If the jerks truly want to reduce fraud, waste and abuse, I recommend Nickolas Kristof's opinion piece in the NYT, "The $7Billion We Wasted Bombing a Country We Couldn't Find on a Map." How much have all of those 2,000 pound bombs dropped on Gaza cost the American taxpayer? And what will the militarization of Arizona's southern border cost us, not to mention wildlife and our environment? Fascism always makes cuts in all the wrong places in order to fund their power over others.
This from a commenter on the movie clip cracks me up:

It's a real shame that some of you people didn't actually pay attention during this scene. And now we are all gonna pay for that.
