They call it “Medicare for All” because... name recognition and association. People like Medicare. They’re not afraid of Medicare the way they are afraid of “Single-Payer Healthcare” or “Socialized Medicine”.

Pelosi encompasses the modern Democratic Party.

In all fairness, many of these statements were not made by Pelosi. They came from the insurance lobby ventriloquist with his hand shoved up her ass.

Exist with a high level of anxiety literally all the time.

Ugh. I also was disappointed by that line. I’m in the middle of being assessed for medical assistance in dying and it’s.... Not even remotely easy? Like, I was alone with the assessment doctor for over two hours and they specifically ask if you have any financial incentive to seek it, and even with all that the…

Oh honey. 

Some people with disabilities, especially those that manifest more physically and are more visible, seem to fear that physican-assisted suicide will lead to a ‘duty to die’ and the involuntary euthanasia. I understand that fear, but I think the current physician-assisted suicide laws are written to avoid that, as well…

She also fought against passing physician-assisted suicide laws.

Sweet Christ, the sheer volume of homophobic responses to this post.

Just because *you* don’t see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. That’s what privilege is. We’ve all got our blindspots. I take things like this as an opportunity to learn, not an opportunity to get offended at others being offended about something I don’t yet fully understand.

I don’t disagree, but since everyone around you already has a camera, and feels entitled to shove it onto your face whenever they feel their citizen journalist duty calls for it, it’s kind of a moot point.

Uh, I never said they were. Do you think the only tablet is the ipad?

A round tipped piece of metal could be used to smash the lens.

It’s the simple fact that consumer tablets have cameras, and it’s cheaper to buy existing tablets than to pay extra to have them redesigned and manufactured without cameras.

Because when you build seatback electronic equipment, you do it once. You use your imagination and get every possible hardware feature included in those units so you dont have to re-PMA a new part, redo RTCA DO-160 environmental testing, do new headstrike ball impact or abuse load testing on the screen, and do new dyna…

After a teenager pointed out that part of Feinstein’s duties were listening to her constituents, Feinstein asked how old she was. “I’m 16, I can’t vote,” she said.

This was good, you almost forget it was the goofy parody the show was when it started. Most episodes have one or two gags crowbar in but this was like a straight Treklike episode. It has personal stakes will The Doctor win Isaac around, can Isaac be redeemed and wider stakes ie we rarely get a feel of who the Union…

This was a really great episode, one that would not have been at all out of place compared against some really good TNG episodes. A all the way for me. I hope they stick the landing on the second part, because the first part was an excellent and engaging hour of television.

Totally real. Scott Grimes has a damn good singing voice. He also does the voice of Steve Smith on American Dad where his singing talent is occasionally displayed.

Talk about having a Headcannon.
