Yeah, it was a bummer. But a friend who was about an 1.5 hours out told me he was seeing a LOT of Trump signs prior to the election...I wasn’t worried before, but I guess I should have been.

If it means anything, they seemed to have decent ground game in Philly. And I didn’t see any Trump people. Of course, there was the issue of the rest of Penn...

At least the taxes were high on the wealthy and teachers made good money back then... This could be worse. :(

It was a hypothetical; unfortunately, I doubt there are birth control opportunities that are advocated for directly when collecting food stamps, but I don’t know personally.

No, I think it’s more like reminding someone that vasectomies and Essure are free options available to them when signing up for food stamps which... Isn’t bad in my opinion. Both situations are about providing choices, even if said choices aren’t ideal. In both cases, before going through with it in these…

Yeah, you made some of the points that I’d worry about as well. My other concern that you touched on a little is that we don’t have assisted suicide for everyone out in the world, so how would we avoid a situation where someone kills someone to get sponsored suicide that wasn’t otherwise available? The vast majority…

Maybe I’m crazy for thinking this, but I think prisoners should have the option of a legal prison suicide. I feel like if people have the right to live, shouldn’t they have the right to die as well? I know there are a lot of complicating scenarios there though.

Yeah, maybe it’s because I’ve had some experience in a hospital with TBI patients, bit that seemed like that part I no issue with.

No. While I don’t support capital punishment, that’s kind of like saying if you sort physician assisted suicide, you should be okay with them dying painfully. I think we should limit pain for death as much as we can.

Yeah, how about use an excuse that isn’t easily tracked???

I didn’t realize House of Flying Daggers was Zhang. I might have to watch this when it eventually goes to Netflix. Such a beautiful film. I just hope he frames it correctly so it makes sense in context (so far it sounds better than say, The Last Samurai in terms of having the white protagonist saving the day).

I think she needs a bit more experience, so maybe 2020 as VP to raise her profile or 2024 if Trump gets reelected.

Agreed because I can’t see how vets could possibly hate her, but she needs a bit more experience. Maybe as VP pick in 2020.

Not true, people cared. I think both would have survived the presidency though, they look healthy and I don’t hear any signs of dementia. Trump on the other hand...

Because the immigrant welfare people are taking his hard-earned vet money, and Trump was going to fix that, OBVIOUSLY. Damn libruls. /s

Right??? Why would you (in this case, this crazy Trump lady) possibly think a misogynist Republican would fix the wage gap better than a female Democrat who made being a woman and dealing with women’s issues a pretty decent part of the campaign (whether that’s a good thing or not)?

Maybe Europe will try and China or India will join to become the new world power or something? Not that China is great, but their leaders aren’t discussing becoming besties with Putin and Trump. So...I dunno.

Yeah, I feel really conflicted. Like maybe Russians take iceskating very seriously and they thought they were respecting the source material? Like I think of Disney with ice skating, but maybe they were going with something more Les Miserables?

Well, I know in Philly we voted using an electronic machine, and Philly was like 82% Hillary or something. So maybe Pennsylvania would flip if that was true?

He might have experience some struggles related to being black, but he’s definitely priveleged enough to act like a Gary Johnson supporter (or the yoga student in a rich part of the city my yoga teacher at my college told me about because “It won’t matter anyway”).
