Would it make you less mad to realize Dem leadership never wanted socialized medicine in the first place because the current system is a huge cash cow? People will pay anything to live and they know that.

I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy basketball as much as I did in those back-to-back Spurs-Heat seasons, especially the second one, and Boris was a big part of that. I’m glad we had him in black and silver for those years, and I hope the vino treats him well in retirement.

Back when I wasn’t gray around here I several times commented that he was the NBA’s organizational IQ test: if you can’t get productive basketball out of Boris Diaw, you probably don’t have a smart organization (does not apply to the end of the line Jazz stint).

Obama had to spend all his political capital just to barely pass ACA? Why? It was the 111th Congress where the Democrats had a majority in both the House and the Senate. Literally the only power available to the Republicans was filibuster in the Senate. But if you include the two independents that caucused with…

You’re right, that’s unfair — probably better to say he never actually intended to advocate for a public option, and instead cynically calibrated an approach to politicking that’d earn him the support of leftier Dems without ever having to deliver on his promises. It worked, too!

Diaw was great because he is what every fat guy playing pickup imagines themselves looking like when in reality it’s closer to Newman in Space Jam.

Tom Daschle invited all his lobbyist pals to help craft the legislation. then he cashed in a few years later. A true DC classic

No, spare us your bullshit. Please. My eyes are rolling, alright, but it’s not from anything Obama did. 

How anyone can listen to Obama spout off “progressive” (aka generic social democratic) platitudes in 2018 and not roll their damn eyes hard enough to give themselves a traumatic brain injury is thoroughly beyond me. Dude was in office for eight years. He deported more people than any other president before him, led an…

I love when a politician goes around supporting all the things they should’ve supported back when they were in office. How easy it is to grow a spine once it becomes someone else’s problem.

I’m sorry, but this is what was frustrating about Obama. “[I’m] not convinced that it [single-payer] is the best way to achieve universal healthcare.”. Like, there’s some other way? And we need to turn it into a big tangled mess and call it universal health care in order to preserve the private health insurance market?…

Good to hear, but he’s not running, and as long as the older Democrats keep running on the platform of “Let’s not say anything that will scare off moderate to lite-Republican voters,” we’ll be in trouble.

Hopefully some of the congressional upsets have been eye opening.

This Obama fellow is a piece of work. After doing everything in his power to clear the field for single-payer opponent Hillary Clinton in 2016, now he endorses Medicare For All. In stark contrast, we Russian trolls spent 2016 promoting single-payer advocates Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein.

Come on, give her a break.

It’ll be blamed on the “full shift” thing.  Being exhausted and overworked.  There’ll be calls for more police so they don’t get so exhausted and start executing random citizens in their own homes.  She’ll be done up as the victim of budget cuts, being forced to work so much.

All she’ll have to do is say “I feared for my life” and she’s good to go. 

So she noticed there was a person there before she noticed that person obviously removed all her stuff and refurnished the apartment?

I thought it was great that the fucktomb pictured was a garbage truck...I was thinking ‘Yeah, I could see Iggles fans using a garbage truck for a place to screw’

Is this analogous to a subset of soccer fans constantly deriding football as "handegg" and ragging on the sport as a whole? Granted, that's somewhat the byproduct of soccer itself being regularly shat on by the non-fans, but the so-called banter between the two sides can get really tedious after a while.

C'mon Barry. I think we can all agree that when it comes to toughness, hockey players like Clint Malarchuk are definitely a cut above the rest. Guys like Kevin Ware really don't have a leg to stand on here.
