Even though I’m not from there, he’s going on my “asshole Republicans to write to” list. I bought a stack of blank postcard and am sending out a few each week.

 According to the bill, the government pays the credit directly to the insurer.

 It’s also an “advanced” credit, e.g. the IRS pays the insurance up front. But not a whole lot.

This plan handles credits the same way, which is why the libertarian types are mad about it. But it provides a lot less help to low income folks.

This proposal is both refundable and advanced/advanceable, so yeah, it will still provide some level of benefit even if you pay no federal taxes. But with no Medicaid expansion, no cost sharing subsidy, and a $2,000/year credit, a lot of low-income folks are at best going to be able to get a catastrophic care plan and…

They set it up as a “refundable advanced” tax credit, which translated into regular English means subsidy. Under their plan, if you buy a plan on the exchange, the government will send the insurance company a check for your “tax credit” up front (that’s the advanced part) to subsidize your premium. However, they’re…

I haven’t seen this reported, but plan also says that plans that cover abortion will not be considered “qualified plans” and will not eligible for tax credits, either if you buy it individually or through your employer.

The presidency? His credibility with his base, maybe. A major personal lawsuit like that would, I’d think, expose his finances, or lack thereof.

Minorities.

communists, I guess? Though they now think a resurgence of Soviet-style governance in Russia headed up by a KGB strongman is the best thing since sliced bread, so who the hell even knows.

I’ve only had one (which turned out to be a side-effect of an STI, lovely....). But when I was younger I’d get a yeast infection like every other month, so I guess we all have our thing to deal with.

One dead soldier is a hero. Thousands of dead soldiers and billions of wasted dollars are a clusterfuck. There’s a reason Bush left office so unpopular, and it wasn’t just because he tanked the economy.

Oh, it’s worse. The FBI is part of the DOJ. Sessions is Comey’s new boss.

Americans often don’t understand the difference between patriotism and nationalism. Germany’s got that figured out.

It’s nationalism. The fusion of xenophobia and extreme patriotism that brought us such lovely leaders as Mussolini, Hitler, and Steve Bannon.

For some reason, that reminds me of the actual true fact that the Japanese government helped thousands of Jews escape Nazi-occupied Europe and let them settle in Japanese-occupied China.

White people walking in a black neighborhood at night are scared of being the victim of armed robbery or similar. Speaking as a white person, in that situation, white people are not afraid that they’ll be arrested, or that they’ll be shot “in self-defense”, just for walking down the street. If we’re the victim of a…

His daddy was rich, but yeah, I don’t think he’s old money.
