They’re acting like the world is ending in the next 50 or so years and so they don’t have to care about what comes after.

The most insane thing to me about all of this is how little people knew about the government they were voting for or what is was going to do. ‘I don’t have Obamacare, I have ACA, so I’m fine if Obamacare gets repealed’, ‘I don’t understand how the politicians I voted for can take my healthcare away. Don’t they know…

Clearly the answer is all black kids, girls and boys, should go to school and leave their heads and their hair at home. Basically, that’s what they want, just the black bodies to to the labor for wypipo.

without the federal funding at Planned Parenthood, Medicaid spending would increase in the first year by $21 million. By 2026, that increase with be at $77 million.

It’s Trump. He was aiming for autocracy but fails at it just like he has at every damn thing in his life, resulting in chaos.

It also helps fuel the narrative of “the corrupt media looking for a ratings grab” because... well, why the fuck else would you hype up something so ultimately trivial by talking for 20 minutes about the importance of knowing the information THAT YOU DON’T ACTUALLY HAVE AT ALL

Exactly this. I just keep thinking, “Now his supporters get to say that he pays his taxes.” I feel like it did way more harm than good.

Quite frankly these pages - and the hype surrounding them, which was ultimately for naught - are just gonna add fuel to their narrative about the dishonest librul media, persecuting Trump while he did pay taxes etc etc etc. I understand why she couldn’t just sit on this info but I question the hype around something…

Irresponsible journalism. Maddow dithered for 20 minutes about nothing, and then the big reveal was 2 pages with no sources of income. Trump should absolutely release his full returns, but don’t pretend like what she had was anything worthwhile.
 

In one month he brought the unemployment rate down from 40% (!) to 4.7%. God let him celebrate.

Too racist for the racists, huh? Gotta love it

Hey you gotta give the guy props for doubling down on racist comments that leaves other racists shaking their heads and walking away.

The whole point of insurance is shared risk. As an older person, you may not need prenatal or maternity care, but you definitely need prostate cancer coverage, an affliction which strikes about 6% of men in their 60s but only about 1 in 10,000 men in their thirties and no women. So my wife and I will gladly pay for…

Part of my problem with the ACA as it is, and the Democratic party, is that far, far too many people were content to leave it as is and declare victory. There was some talk of expanding it, but I firmly believe that even if we retake the federal government that the Democratic party as a whole is not automatically on…

When we raise up those at the bottom everyone benefits. Perhaps instead of fear we should speak of universal care as THE only option. It promotes cheaper costs, a healthy and hard working society, and equalizes the playing fields since the filthy rich have to pay more into it.
The reality is based on talking with…

Yeah except the risk is way higher in who takes advantage in some scenarios as opposed to others. If someone takes advantage of the welfare system they just get (extra) money. Someone takes advantage of gun silencers and they shoot people with lower risk of detection. It’s pretty normal to look at both sides of…

Hey look, everybody! It’s False Equivalence Man! we can really get the party started now! I sure am glad the neck-bearded crusader can use inaccurate and disproportionate comparisons to derail a straight forward line of thought!

Well, if George Soros would quit personally funding all those individuals, groups and entities then maybe we could have a civilized discussion about how best to guide this country out of the morass of 8 years of steady job growth.
