No sweat. Happy to help. The resistance to universal health care in the states is mind-boggling, but given how many layers there are to the intransigence we have about it, I suppose I should not be so surprised.

You’re asking a very good question, and what appears to be a very simple one, but the answer is complex. The short version is that:

I know this sucks but watching trumps idiot base slowly realize they got fucked will be fun. I have no expectation that a single one of them will ever admit they were wrong but they’ll still get screwed

Misspoke = “Fuck, I got caught lying!”

“responding officers are being given time to “decompress” before making official statements.”

Actually, he is doing it so that he doesn’t have to make eye contact. He was visibly rattled by the whole conversation and was being pressed to actually say something that fucking mattered. He couldn’t do that, and doesn’t know how to handle it, so instead, he kicks the person out. He is just a spoiled brat child that…

“traditional uses.” Hmm. I’m pretty sure there were traditional uses of these areas going on before the traditional uses the Secretary is referring to. A short list:

It’s not in our best interests. North Korea is not capable of attacking Americans in the US and honestly isn’t close to getting the resources necessary to build enough ICBMs to a credible threat to the US. They are capable of making nuclear weapons but the puny scale of them suggests to me that they’re not capable of…

This is for approval ratings.

I’ve had a juicer for years. Just a good, old-fashioned juicer that I got on discount when one of my favorite restaurants closed up shop after their owner had a pretty bad heart attack (it was a family-owned business).

No. That’s the point of the article. People don’t believe his crap.

Not out to offend anyone, but perhaps sleaze works better in ‘Murica. The Brits would not give Assange the time of day (GMT that is).

Kiss a car for a few hours for a free $25000 car? where do I sign up?

If your plan for governance is so terrible that it makes you believe you need a 24/7 security detail, you might want to rethink your plan.

Oh for God’s sake. WE DON’T NEED HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. There’s a motherfucking recorded video we can all see with our own damn eyes. We literally don’t need to know one fucking thing more about this situation in order to determine that it was handled appallingly by both United AND these security officers.

Common tactic used to try people in the court of public opinion, thereby swaying favor and diminishing the impact of any negative effects or fallout from questionable actions. Because the average American is an under-educated, short-sighted halfwit. Bought and paid for. Distract them with shinies, and they’ll lap up…

The media jumped on the reporting about Dao because the info is available and they need to keep a steady stream of related articles out there to get the clicks. They’d have to do actual legwork and put in some time to track down the officers who dragged the guy off the plane.

It was obviously his fault for not being the perfect victim with a spotless past, like all Internet commenters.

No. I am not a lawyer, but I believe this guy entered into a business arrangement with the airline. He gave them money in exchange for passage from point A to point B. He entirely fulfilled his onerous and burdensome requirements necessary for boarding the vessel. The airline company had an obligation to similarly…

What if he threatened to boycott and not use twitter!? haha. I’m almost worried. We need him to continue to have batshit crazy twitter meltdowns. It’s gonna make getting him out easier.
