As a Bernie supporter that voted for him in the primaries in 2016:

If Republicans were serious about addressing illegal immigration, which they are not, they would spend more time punishing businesses that hire illegal immigrants. 70% of illegal immigrants have jobs. Vast majority of immigrants are motivated by economic reasons to come to the US. If businesses were heavily fined and…

I don't understand why it was EVER ok for taxpayers' money to be used for this.

Look, the Fox News demographic likes to look FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD:fwd:FWD, not backward.

The flipside to constantly adding new skills is you end up with a game like FFXIV where they never get rid of old skills and you end up with some super long and inflexible rotation. I think doing it like Destiny could be cool where you choose skills from pods and you have one active at a time.

“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart...

The most baffling thing I find about the “good boy who made mistakes” take is that it can somehow exist alongside the “if she’s telling the truth, why didn’t she go to the police?” takes.

Replace the word ‘instance’ with ‘echo-chamber’ and you’ll see why this is only going to be more problematic in the long run. This is the same thing Facebook groups do and it’s proven to be a breeding ground for extremist ideologies. This kind of things is largely why society is so politically polarized these days:…

Obama was consistent saying that he believed that if they were to start a new system from scratch, single payer would be the preferred system. As it were, he saw the obstacles in the way of installing single payer legislatively, and decided to try to achieve it incrementally and came away with a major achievement.…

I love when a politician goes around supporting all the things they should’ve supported back when they were in office. How easy it is to grow a spine once it becomes someone else’s problem.

They picked the right message. The others are too iffy. For instance, pointing out he’s a religious hypocrite? They all are, inside, as well; so too close to home. Suggesting Cruz might not be anti-gay enough is ridiculous - and also less popular than it used to be. Accusing him of not being presidential? He’s not…

Never underestimate the power of a decent smile.

We get some hackneyed bullshit psuedo-Kinder Eggs. They don’t taste as good. It’s sad, really.

Owen Wilson automatically debases seriousness. I really wish there would be a movie where the first act is like a week after the loss, not this whole buildup to the inevitable through three acts.

Ah, gotchya and that makes sense. I was reading that as a ‘all trauma is equal and thusly it should be avoided if possible’ which makes some stories really hard to tell even if they are valuable and can impart a lesson of life on wee ones.

My question is: Did he go out and buy a new nazi flag or did he just have one lying around?

I came for this. Was not disappointed.

Supplemental insurance will become a big deal. Also, the insurance companies will bid for business as Medicare contractors. All those claims still have to be processed, and they’re equipped to do the work.

Considering the cost savings of not having to advertise direct to the public nearly as much, or employ a national sales force targeting doctors and hospitals then pharma companies might actually save some money with a switch to nationwide single-payer.
