Respect the president... just like Trump respected Obama for eight years. >_<

I presume some of that disparagment was aimed at Lindy West?

For example, a friend of mine’s husband had a fairly rare pancreatic cancer and he’d responded well to surgery and chemo. He was in Seattle and dx/treated and participated in clinical trials at the Hutch/SCCA. He finally reached a point where his doctors told him he was no longer responding to chemo. They gave him…

I have a friend like this. She rides every single food trend and sees no problem with jumping ship abruptly from one implausible diet to another. She also believes she can train herself to read minds and move objects but her gut leaks too much for her to focus get power.

I would like to point out that CTCA is literally fucking Satan. They cherry pick patients with A)fantastic insurance coverage and B)excellent prognosis. They perpetrate the myth that alternative therapies “cure” cancer because the treatments they offer are no different than you’d get from any oncologist, but they…

Yes. This is the first thing about Trump to not make sense.

Did you ever watch the PBS special The Choice? It vacillated between Trump and Clinton from childhood through now. By the end it was insane how trifling Trump’s life is. He is deeply uncomfortable around anyone he doesn’t already know. His wealth has provided him a gilded cage he’s only too happy to inhabit.

I don’t see McCain in this administration.

It’s Republicans. They never cared if health insurance was affordable, which is why medicaide expansion was blocked in red states and they blamed Obamacare. They’ll be happy to supply high cost insurance to anyone who can somehow manage to afford it. Herr Trump said nothing about keeping insurance affordable.

Trump will appoint Supreme court justices, which will have an impact waaay beyond 4 years.

Just curious if you’re aware that “spade” is indeed a racial slur?

Insurance companies used to happily sell healthy unsuspecting people cheap policies that covered nothing. Then when you got majorly ill the first time, you got to pay fully out of pocket. And depending on what made you need to seek medical care, it became a preexisting condition and you couldn’t purchase any other…

They also could have been buying a cheap worthless plan that would have covered nothing, because part of obamacare was indeed requiring health plans to actually provide coverage so plans like those became illegal. People were collectively outraged that their cheap plans disappeared, not that insurance companies were…

Once you’re registered to vote, you should be able to vote. I voted by mail after registering.

I and everyone in my state mailed in my ballot. There are plenty of creative solutions to increasing people’s ability to securely cast their vote without needing to show ID or physically show up at a possibly inconvenient location.

Unless you are a minority living in an area where your DMVs are closed so that it requires quite a bit of travel to obtain a license.

No, they don’t neccesarily. Picture Id is often the sticking point, because adding a layer of ID needed when you show up at your polling place is a terrific way to disenfranchise poor people. I have tons of friends who don’t drive and so don’t have a driver’s license. A passport is expensive and most people don’t…

I miss the hell outta Ivins.

I’m done with people who claim Trump is a generous souled do-gooder and just misunderstood. We’ve got a president who’s as compassionate as that malevolent little boy from The Twilight Zone who everyone had to suck up to his every whim or risk his wrath.
