“any assertion that Vice President-elect Pence supported or advocated for conversion therapy is patently false and is a mischaracterization of language from a 16-year-old campaign website.”

According to the Guardian:

F you, Pence. You know darn well that this is something you have championed. IT’S IN THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

““be directed to groups that promoted safe sexual practices””

Oh, such as Planned Parenthood? Wonderful! 

How are you with her when she is no longer in politics or anything else?

i’m with her...

It is really fucking ridiculous that Ryan doesn’t seem to understand the concept behind insurance policies. They are a risk pool. I may pay into my life insurance policy for 50 years while someone else only does so for 5 years. That’s the whole deal!

so we could have a work private chat place to share ideas.

Well, I don’t have a prostate, why should I pay a tiny bit more in insurance so that people who get prostate cancer have treatment? Also, I’m like 36, so I don’t need vaccines made for infants, so I shouldn’t have to have insurance that covers them. In fact, I’m not going to get the vast majority of health…

Is he aware of the great likelihood of his also having greatly benefitted directly from the female reproductive system and any care he may have received there? (Only likely, because orcs are made from stone and slime and sorcery, so there is a chance...)

There’s a major intellectual dishonesty going on here and not getting called out with how they are pushing the “choice is going to drive down cost” line. Whenever they bring up the talking point most have been saying it will bring down the cost of healthcare which is, well, wrong. What they are proposing is basically…

She’s been doing great work. I’m glad you gave the New Yorker link (the prior issue was also invaluable). It’s pretty clear that money laundering for the Russians and Iranians (through hotel properties into which Trump puts nothing but his name) has been the family business for about 11 years.

Have you been watching Rachel Maddow. She did two stories which I think begin to fill in the puzzle of why or how Trump could be blackmailed. To put it simply: money laundering and the foreign corrupt practices act.

Counterpoint: tax spray tans at 50% and let Trump pay for the wall.

Women are so needy when it comes to having children. They need prenatal care and ultrasounds and expensive stays in the hospital to give birth. It’s unreasonably complex and expensive. Men don’t need any of those things to have children. Why can’t women just have children the same way men do???

1. Paul Ryan on Health care. He touted the brilliant idea to allow “market based solutions” to lower insurance premiums and provide better coverage and the use of “health savings accounts”. In other words, exactly what was in place before the ACA. When things were so bad and insurance companies regularly engaged…

Yes—Maxine Waters is playing chess here (not checkers). From the WaPo article:

Illinois Rep. John Shimkus. I watched the video and Doyle from Pennsylvania pretty much choked of shock after he said it. Flabbergasted would be the word.

Breaking news: the FBI has been reviewing the activities of the Russian bank Alfa Bank, and stumbled into a connection between the bank and Trump’s servers. The plot thickens...
