Sanctuary cities are just one of many things that Greg Abbott will not stand for.
Fuck this spineless piece of shit. If you’re so far to the right that Rick Perry disagrees with you about shit like Jade Helm, there is no hope for you.
I lived in Klein when that happened, I remember it being one of those news stories that keeps me up at night, because that made me realize what a dangerous world I had just brought my mixed race daughter into. I don’t know how in the actual hell I had managed to forget that story. Jesus, I hope that there’s something…
Republicans have shown themselves to be extremely principled and dignified. Local government is supported unless it is liberal, in which case they’ll support states’ rights, as long as the state isn’t liberal. If so, they will support federal power, unless the president is liberal, in which case they support local…
And here the governor is, looking all presidential, claiming he’s working hard for the state of Texas. This game is that he gets all this free publicity and can claim he’s working hard. Meanwhile, it’s impossible for non-wealthy women to get proper medical care, the state is reeling under the effects of climate…
I have been forced to conclude that Republicans—from the least little base voter straight on up to their orange Ubermensch, and including every gibbering jackal of a Congressman or governor or county assessor or state treasurer in between— are low, smirking, unhinged sociopaths who constitute a clear and present…
Trading post, circa 1600s. Powhatan tribal member to English settler: “I wish you hadn’t come to this land.”
It just shows that Labrador has no clue what it’s like to be without money. He’s never been that mom posting on the facebook group asking if her kid’s rash/cough/fever, etc. is bad enough to warrant a doctor visit because there’s no insurance or there even is insurance but they have no cash for the co-pay. He’s never…
This isn’t the first time either. Sadly though, the first time she was insulted for speaking Spanish was by a Mexican in Mexico. We were at a horse track when some random Mexican came up to us and told her she spoke poor Spanish (pretty much a mix of Spanish and English) and that he could tell she was American. She…
My mother was a freelance copy writer without insurance when she noticed some weird small lumps under the skin on her neck. The sliding scale clinic she went to performed an out of date biopsy procedure because it was what they had the equipment for and told her it came back negative for cancer. By the time they…
I get so tired of people like him who say that well, you won’t be turned away at the ER. Maybe not but if you break your leg, they will stabilize it and tell you to call the orthopedic surgeon in the morning. When you call, the office will ask you if you have insurance. When you say you don’t, they will tell you that…
Is her last comment really “what set you off? Obama?” Yes, I’m sure that’s what pissed her off the most you asshole. Because we know any derogatory thing said about your Tangerine Furor would be the very last straw for you, right?
Hot damn people are just honestly blunt and bold these days. Awhile back, my mother was speaking to me in Spanish in line at a Wal-Mart. She was doing this to pester me because I cannot speak a lick of Spanish. I just ignore her and give her weird looks when she does this. Two other women overheard her and commented…
People who still think that Obama was a Muslim born in Kenya really shouldn’t be allowed to make any sort of decision.
I’m sitting here trying to come up with something witty to say, but there is nothing. I’m slowly being broken down by these low information yokels that apparently comprise most of the voting pool in the US.
Yeah, I can’t even with that statement. One of the reasons health care costs were so high were emergency room visits that could have been prevented with basic primary care access. Those unpaid emergency room visits were, ultimately, shifted to people with insurance, hence high cost of care and high premiums. Like,…
Every Republican congressman who reads this story, inside their head: well, he was just a fag anyway.
“I was trying to explain that all hospitals are required by law to treat patients in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay and that the Republican plan does not change that,”
