I...this is...

I am just going to leave you here with this

FUCK.

Also, a great argument against tax cuts if you compare Nebraska to Kansas. Brownback is a fool for not following Pence’s lead in implementing the Medicaid option. It benefits the recipients, providers, and saves money in the long run.

4) WTF? FDR’s New Deal included a single payer healthcare system which Truman tried to get Congress to pass in 1945. In 1955, Eisenhower asked Congress for a “Federal health reinsurance service to encourage private health insurance organizations in offering broader benefits to insured individuals and families and…

It makes me want to cry that our female candidate knew she had to practice not being physically intimidated by her opposition.

Keep in mind that most places that pay min wage also don’t hire full time workers (benefits are the most expensive), so it’s not 7.25/40 hours a week, it’s usually more like 7.25/25-35 hours. One of the biggest reason people need multiple jobs just to scrape together 39 hours a week.

Very interesting info, thank you! I’m learning so many new things, and it’s both depressing and - I must admit - rather fascinating.

“I mean...isn’t that what should happen in a functioning democracy if a politician acts out?”

Having a really hard time dealing with the fact that our national security interests are getting subsumed because of these morons’ fee-fees.

As others have noted, the surface problem is that Congress, the branch of the government that has the Constitutional power to remove the president from office, is controlled by Republicans.

I keep forgetting that you guys have a two-party system! Here in Germany, even though Merkel’s party has the highest number of seats in parliament they are still not the absolute majority. It does seem to be a pretty smart way to prevent giving one party too much power.

That would be just fine.

Ha! We haven’t had a Scarlet Pimpernel in a while! Not sure how the market would react to a tale of noblesse oblige. If they told it totally straight and marketed it to women (per the OP), it would work.

I wouldn’t mind a well-done Epic of Gilgamesh adaptation.

A Baba Yaga movie done right could be terrifying.

I left the Academy shortly before my third year after I was assaulted aboard a ship and the school refused to investigate my allegations. I remember standing in front of one of the administrators pleading them to at least never send another woman to that ship. They wouldn’t even do that much.

I’ve mentioned it in the past, but I attended a United States federal military academy. It’s amazing how much gets normalized in small group cultures. Sexual assault as a prank or a form of camaraderie is very common.

You guys. You guys.
