any kind of practical, workable solution to the white flight/gentrification dichotomy?

I had a coworker like that too, I said, if you are bitching at 15 dollars an hour and its more than you make, then you fucking go get that job.

No shit, I’ll never forget about an old coworker who was pissing and moaning about PEOPLE DOING HIS JOB getting $15 an hour for it. I was like, “You have kids that you married into, man... YOU KNOW HOW HARD YOU WORK AT THIS JOB. And you don’t think you deserve a living wage?? You’re fine with $11.00 an hour??!!!”

Exactly. This “Victims of Obamacare” is nothing more than a negative PR campaign. Vice-President and (alleged) “Mother”-fucker Mike Pence tweeted last night using the same phrase, “victims of Obamacare.”

You’re giving him too much credit to ask that, even in jest. This isn’t about him not caring or being personally biased or catering to anyone. This is about propaganda, pure and simple. And I know you know all of this - I’m not trying to be pedantic - I just wish we could all start calling this what it really is. The…

There is no “other side” with Republican politicians on anything.

Because America is about choice, dammit!! They reserve the right to choose to be an ignorant dunce and they shouldn’t be forced into buying something they’ll never (not!) use! Sky-high, ridiculously expensive healthcare that only a few privileged people can afford is as American as apple pie! FREEEEEDOM!!!

Democrats better get their asses ready to vehemently oppose this line of bullshit. Remember how the Repubs sold the idea of “Death Panels” and the like? They are assholes but they are great at branding and I don’t want “Victims of Obamacare” to become a fucking thing.

Does he plan to speak with the millions of people who the ACA has helped to balance out his perspective? Listen to ‘both sides’, give the other side a chance, as the Republicans have been bleating the last six months?

It’s beyond stunning that this man who is the head of vast commercial empire and is, incidentally, also President, is mentally a total fucking child with his behaviors.

I was reading some stuff about impeachment today, and it occurred to me we really need some sort of “no confidence” process for the President, some sort of way to remove them once it is apparent they are incompetent. The impeachment process is just too difficult.

The President of the United States trusting a ‘news’ channel for information when he has the best information gatherers on Earth readily available to him, is disturbing for a number of reasons. It’s also pants on head stupid. Part of my job involves talking to techs in the field, to help resolve issues. Sometimes…

I don’t think they actually wanted a “new Ronald Reagan” who would start his presidency with the mental state that Reagan finished his with.

Donny has emphatically stated that he doesn’t do drugs* and, as Kellyanne pointed out, he always tells the truth...or at leaast what he thinks the truth is at any given moment.

It didn’t matter for Reagan, why would it matter for Trump? They’re already rolling out the “in his heart He believes” defense for why he’s telling bold-faced lies.

I was young, but I recall people talking about it outside the media.

The day Trump fires Priebus is the day impeachment starts against him. He will lose the support of the RNC and they will show him the door quickly. Right now he is a useful tool to them and nothing more but the day he really tries to go against them he will find out just how little power he has.

Just what this administration needs: A no-talent, white, alphadouche yes-man overcompensating for his real and imagined shortcomings.

If they want to stop leaks, they need to change the behavior of Trump, and that’s not going to happen.

“...they’re doing an injustice to the institution of the American presidency..”
