He already has broken so many of his own promises. There was basically no way he could make anything he said he could do, happen. Like making Mexico pay for the wall, and making sure people could keep their healthcare/get better healthcare. He never had anything set up policy wise. It was all vague promises with no…

You should really write your memoir and center it around your own sense of horror over that mere possibility, and even set it up as a dance-based version of the Hunger Games, like the other commenter said. That’d make a compelling story.

Yeah, it’s a classic distraction move---pass a unbelievably shitty bill to distract from another just as shitty (in a different way but screws over more people in subtler ways) bill and the media always fall for it.

It just comes off as immensely fake when he looks smug and yet tries to act humble at the same time. Like his body language contradicts his own spoken language. And when you see it combined with your knowledge of his overall philosophy and actions, you just can’t help but have a visceral reaction to everything he does…

Apparently he’s a germphobe, so gloves would explain it.

The Democrats will have to game the primary in their agenda’s favor. Pick the most progressive candidate on that side and tell everyone they can to turn out for that person. Depending on if people outside that party’s registration can vote in the primary.

Can you mark it as spam for your email filters?

By that exact metric, the AHCA makes the whole situation worse. Fewer people will have coverage. That’s a bad thing. But apparently not for Ryan. And what’s with that mealy phrasing and “aw-shucks” manner in his response? Does he think that makes him come off as homespun and being someone who tells truth to power?

They said the same thing about Bill Clinton coming to take their guns in the 90's. Never happened. They always move the goalposts in terms of those conspiracies. It’s always the other guy, never their guy. Even gun bans don’t apply to already sold guns, it only affects future gun sales. And since the NRA is an arm of…

Yeah, that’s the question. Will he? As information continues to trickle out, the international community is showing evidence of complicity between Russia and Trump surrogates (Flynn, Manafort, Page, among others) and financial dealings that shows that the game was fixed. We just have to wait to see if the RNC emails…

It’s not just that. He only selectively leaks information—-he leaked the DNC’s emails but never the RNC’s despite the fact both were hacked, giving one party an advantage over the other. If he had leaked both, it’d be one thing. And even the DNC emails were anticlimactic in context, and contained more information that…

 Do you know why they do it? Playing up the false equivalency shit and “both sides do it” bullshit? It’s so they can maintain the horse race narrative the whole time and keep the audience’s eyes clamped on them up through election day for that sweet ad revenue. The CEOs of the media conglomerates that owned the news…

There’s quite a number of college dropouts that turn into radio pundits. Hannity and Rush Limbaugh for example.

Actually, Christianity didn’t really become homophobic until about a thousand years after Jesus’s time. The four guys (Mark, Matthew, John and Luke) who composed the books that largely make up the New Testament and actually had met Jesus, never married during their own lives, despite making it to old age. The other…

I never understood why they were so worried that if men suddenly turned gay (notice they never freak out about women turning gay, because that’s hot, don’t you know?), when in the beginning, God created Adam.....without sex, then created Eve,.....without sex. Then after Cain slew Abel, Eve was inconsolable, so God…

Just protest, and vote those enabling assholes out, every single last Republican out of their positions, local, state and federal all.

Did you hold the axe with one hand near the axe head and one further away along the shaft and use the hand closest to the head to guide it better towards the wood? And find your stroke and find a good rhythm for it? (I just realized this might be more sexual than I intended it to be.) After you get better at it and…

I know 2018 is important and to always vote in the midterm elections. But the census is what leads to the district boundaries being redrawn to accommodate the population shifts throughout each state, which happens next in 2020. So that year is especially important for fixing gerrymandering but every election,…

He’s from Utah where the Republican state legislature has created a lopsided gerrymandered district system that are in their favor so Chaffetz has job protection—-to a degree. Apparently the election has shook up so many people that people are literally rising up for huge protests on little notice and actually got…

Gerrymandering is what makes it easier to send these pieces of shit back to office every time. You have to elect Democrats to every office, including state and local, to fix this. 55 percent of voters came out for Democrats but gerrymandering lopsided the result such that Republicans got 55 percent of the offices…
