How many more things can she get right before everyone starts taking her seriously?

The Electoral College never should have existed and Democrats should have been screaming for this since 2000. The criminal idiocy of the Bush and Trump administrations prove it.

All this stuff irritates me too, but is if possible that AOC and the like aren’t criticizing her because they don’t want to, or think it’s a bad idea? I SERIOUSLY can't imagine them doing that against their will. 

I have a friend in nursing who volunteers for Remote Area Medical, which is both an amazing organization, and a searing indictment of the state of healthcare in the United States. It’s appalling that hundreds, even thousands, of people have to show up to a charity event to get the most basic of healthcare services,

Budgets are only part of the problem. Staffing hospitals in rural areas can be extremely difficult. And when they do, experience can be a crap shoot.

This is why we need a hard turn to the left. Trying to build centrist policy failed.

Having worked at a state medical school in a rural state in the past, the largest factor in rural hospital closure, is what’s known as the Balanced Budget Amendment of 1997. This changed the way that CMS (the people that run Medicare and Medicaid) funded critical access rural hospitals, and forced about 10% of them

He may only be in the mood for ONE $4,000 glass of wine this evening. THE HORROR.

Better analogy: are they responsible for financing the people that they know for a fact are going to cause a meth lab explosion?

Would Wells Fargo be responsible for a meth lab explosion from a house they provided a mortgage on?

Ding ding!

Ooh, some hard-hitting questions. Sloan was having a real bad time up there, wasn’t he? I guess he’ll just have to wipe his tears with hundreds as he flies back home on a private jet, comforted by the knowledge that not a single thing is going to change substantially for at least two more years.

I continue to be disappointed by the people who do Cohen’s show. He’s a toxic asshole.

There were 5 of us growing up within an 8 year span.

I can tell their parents though. 

You can’t tell a baby they’re being rude. You CAN tell a 3 year old they are. 

I would much prefer the parents of 3-13 year olds to march onto a plane wearing a sandwich board that reads “I’m aware of my responsibility to make sure my child does not kick your seat, throw food, or otherwise disturb you. Please let me know if I’m failing” 

The article is misleading click bait and makes it sound like he got 5 years for shoplifting. That said, I think this kid’s sentence was way too harsh, and he never should have been tried as an adult in the first place, especially since he wasn’t the one who pulled the gun, no one was actually hurt, and it was a first

Affluenza teen got probation for killing multiple people. 5 years is crazy
