Apparently when he did that, it made it impossible to get the bill passed without a required 60 votes requirement for the next step. So that was pretty clever. There was someone who explained it in more detail and it really surprised me.

Actually, the ACA is the Republican compromise---they included several amendments from Republicans and worked with the Republicans for over a year, and at the end, every Republican voted lockstep against it, to deprive Obama of any bipartisan victory. It was essentially similar to the setup in Massachussetts and…

I think Mattis will stay to stabilize the military on his part and mitigate any damage Trump shits down their way.

He didn’t just dodge the draft, he did it by invoking a bone spur as an excuse. Decades later, when asked which foot the bone spur was on, he couldn’t rightly recollect. A bone spur is a very painful injury and not a thing easily forgotten. He’s a total fraud. Also, he even invoked his time at military school as a…

Those laws are being passed in red states, like Oklahoma and Texas, where gas and oil is king. They’re literally penalizing people for using alternative energy sources, even when their costs are plummeting versus gas and oil.

I really think it’d be worthwhile if you did that. It’d go so far to improve the world and politics in general.

Son of Sam laws make that pretty much impossible. The Brown and Goldman families will sue him for those proceeds every time he tries to profit off his crimes.

Son of Sam laws forbid him from profiting from his crimes—-the Brown family successfully sued him for the proceeds from the “If I Did It” memoir. And the editor who tried to put that book out got slammed for it rightfully enough, if I recall. Not surprisingly, that editor was afflicted with a right-wing book publisher…

He’s not a maverick nor does he “swim against the current.” He badmouths the Republicans on certain issues, but still votes lockstep with them on so many things, including increasing military spending and the war on crime. He counts on his supporters never researching his voting patterns or comparing them to his…

Question----can you volunteer to do that for Democratic candidates on the grassroots level? Or reach out to them on a national level, especially in D.C.? You may joke but I really think they could use something like that and if you really reached out to them, they’d be likely to take you up on such presentations (and…

Rubio came up with the poison pill because he wanted to run for president on that accomplishment. He didn’t even get past the primaries and by that point, wasn’t even sure he wanted to be senator anymore. He put out feelers in the private sector and no one wanted to hire him. The Republican party begged him to run…

Detroit is a Democratic stronghold and I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Especially with the shady shit the Republicans have been dealing Detroit from the state legislature and the voter disfranchisement they’ve been dealing out even more (75 percent of their voter machines malfunctioned and Trump won the state by…

Megyn only spoke the truth when it affected her and her alone. She only went after Trump when it looked like it was going to hurt Republicans downticket and it backfired on her, and no, she doesn’t get moderate cred for that.

It could have, had she started anywhere else but Fox News but her toxic shit she spewed on that channel will contaminate her future anywhere she goes. People won’t let her forget. She will seriously have to atone for her time there and I don’t care if she shat on Trump, even on, or not on behest of Fox News. She did…

Maybe your friend confused Macedonia with Mesopotamia. Alexander the Great came from the former, and Macedonia isn’t so much “in Greece” as it is above it (it’s its own country present day) although it may have been a Greek city-state at the time?

I think there might be a slight undercurrent of panic to it, as well. One of my teachers actually misspelled a state’s name as Motanna when writing it out on a board once. When I corrected her, (I might have been smiling at the time at the asininity of it) she snapped back at me like I was being patronizing about it.…

He’s somewhat famous for it. He even came up with a bullshit nonexistent example of a way Obama could reach out to the middle class (nevermind how Obama’s upbringing affected the way he saw the world and treated people and how odd that people would suddenly take him for a rich man although he now more than qualifies…

And they use food stamps to buy the products who are actually made from....wait for it....farm products like wheat, soybeans, corn, etc. Especially if it has HFCS in it, like most candy, sodas, etc.

Wait, I have a theory. Remember how Ryan is all so about the Crossfit? And remember the “dreamy” (making the big air quote bunny ears gestures alongside the jerking off gesture and rolling eyes at the same time) photoshoot of Ryan pumping iron? What if he instituted that rule because he was afraid that any woman might…

I think they started out getting paid a lot less than their co-stars (even if leads) but they started getting more time on screen, and even then their pay didn’t even approach commensurate equal pay for time on screen, whether if they were the leads or not. Not to mention, this show is based in Hawaii, and there’s a…
