Hey, I couldn’t agree more, which is why I made the point that while you may hear Hillary talking about the ACA needing to be fixed, you won’t hear her saying that the fix has to find a way to make the economics work better for The Big Bad Insurance Companies.

“I’ve been shocked at the lack of questions on climate change,” said climate scientist Kerry Emanuel in an interview with The Guardian

Well, you have to make the math work, and if you can’t, you have to do something different to try and make it work.

The part she left out was that the ACA needs the power to make the deal better for health insurance providers. A truth that isn’t palatable with voters on the left (as you so aptly demonstrate with your last paragraph), while on the right they continue to cry about the entirety of the ACA.

Yes, of course that is true, but Hillary will never openly say why it isn’t working, and the actual things they are going to have to do to fix it will not be popular with progressives in the slightest.

That’s a really weak way to answer it. The part that progressives and Democrats do not want to discuss is that the ACA needs more power in order to make participation more attractive to health insurance providers.

The only thing more pathetic than this recycled “media bias” argument is the fact that it continues to be a good drum to beat on in order to keep the Republican base on target.

If Biden doesn’t wind up going out Thelma and Louise style one day far, far far in the future, I’m going to be sort of disappointed.

People can need therapy while still deserving a lot of the blame for their own problems.

I promise you all that this is the last time I will be in the news for anything negative.

I think if your liberal progressive auntie is having a hard time finding Dems in the DFW area, she’s not looking very hard.

I bet you were the asshole who spoiled the Star Wars movie with burner accounts.

I’m not sure I agree. Their actual tone setting analysts have been pretty unequivocal in saying who they think won the debates, with Hillary clearly winning the first and the 2nd being a bit messier because of how much mud slinging there was, with the peanut gallery of surrogates for both campaigns doing their normal…

At their best, Presidential debates are useless explorations of who is more skilled at masking the full and accurate meaning of a particular series of half-truths and out of context facts and statements.

Excellent idea. Not only that, you could then go with Jar Jar Binks playing Steve Dookie.

I’m trying to come up with a good actor to play Ailes and I’m coming up with nothing. I thought about Ruper Vansittart (guy who plays Bronze Yohn Royce in Game of Thrones) but he’s not really ... jowly ... enough.

Unless someone told his guy to go kill PP workers directly, we really do not want to go down the road of “You’re going to jail because a crazy person heard you getting really mad at some particular group and decided to go on a shooting spree even though you never told them to do anything of the sort”.

If there were people who told him to “go kill planned parenthood workers”, then yes, those people should be arrested. I doubt that happened here though.

It is too early in the workday for me to be tugging my collar out of place.

Well, you sort of have to pick, though, right?
