That article was maddening. Especially “Mark” at the end who had been against any sort of socialized health care regime (including the ACA) all his life until he had a heart attack and realized not only could he not work, but he would have been unable to buy insurance anymore because of his new “pre-existing…

It was her bill, basically. She was such a badass as First Lady.

I read this article last night and found it illuminating and frustrating. Basically people are willing to act against their own self interest in order to ensure that “moochers” don’t also get health care. It is heartbreaking. The authro endes up trying to frame health care like a utility, like roads or garbage…

I. Am. Livid.

Thank God I know that the Republicans are a pro-life party that is super concerned that all Americans have access to good health care, or else I’d be suspicious that they’re using sick and dying kids here as an excuse to further their political agenda.

I swear all GOP politicians secretly live in Rapture

Right? I hate this fucking libertarian wet dream bullshit. “Oh, see, people’s inherent good will save the world!” No, in this particular instance some celebrities motivated people to come out and send some aid. That’s great! But it’s also a massive failing. And it’s one particular location. What about the rest of the…

Dude, if Lin ever ran for office the 18-24 turnout would be record-breaking. Do it for the Youths, Lin!

In fairness, from what I’ve heard non-monogamous types tend to use Ok!Cupid in large numbers because it’s the only online dating platform that supports those types of relationships.

Or they only remember that Gatsby was rich and forgot everything else about the plot.

I’m very much used to people not knowing much history, or not caring about history, and I suppose I get particularly annoyed at out of all of the excess of that period of French history, it’s a woman who was forced into an unhappy life and marriage that she loathed who gets labeled for the rest time as the one who…

Well, Marie Antoinette generally wore wigs and her hair was powered white (and she went grey very early), as was the fashion of the time, and didn’t really have any choice about the decor... She’s sort of more like Melania, except without any choice about the marriage (when she was 15) and no option for divorce, and…

Yep, and he brought all his asshole, pathological liar friends with him. What is really getting to me, though, is all the people that think he’s great. They make me far more hysterical in the long run.

Old man is a fucking asshole and pathological liar. Remember this garbage?

Poor Marie Antoinette, to be compared to that arsehole...

I’m this kid every day.

Problem with Trump isn’t that he tweets these things, it’s that he thinks them. For example:

The women on 19 kids and counting also turn themselves into nothing but walking incubators by “choice”. But most sane people would agree that “choice” in that context means brainwashing by a misogynistic cult.

The reason you have the law in the Netherlands is because the Netherlands is racist enough to pass such a law.

The only way to protect western democracy is to destroy everything it stands for. /s
