Truth. I adopted a little rescue kitten while in the depths of depression, barely making it out of a horribly abusive marriage, and on month 9 of being unemployed. I knew that if I went away, there was life insurance for my kids, loving grandparents and an auntie who would keep their world together (I recognize this…

They truly saved our lives at a time when addiction ruled our every moment.

bless your heart, and bless those kitties that crossed your path.

I’m glad you made it out. Kudos to you; that shit’s hard. 

As someone who spent the better part of the early 90s with a horrendous heroin addiction (lost our family, friends, and spent couple years living on the LA streets until we got our lives together- thanks to the magic of a pregnant street cat who gave us 6 lives to live for), I am sending this young lady all my love…

Wow, what a bad question. Everyone deserves healthcare. But we need to start at home in order to push the world forward. Think if yo uhad asked “Why do the people of the US deserve democracy more than those in North Korea?” Is that an effective argument against democracy?

Republicans are the traitors to the USA for allowing Trump to become the mad tyrant he is.

there is no “national security” threat from countries like Canada

Carlin got it right decades ago.

I saw how easy it would be, as a parent, to accept the idea that my children deserve healthcare and education.

What’s weird is true capitalists should love this shit. Government-financed roads give companies the infrastructure they need to move goods and people cheaply and easily. Government-financed education provides a glut of educated workers that ensures a healthy supply of high-quality labor while giving the ability to…

Isn’t that where I am? 

The healthcare thing puzzles me. I look at what I pay in premiums, deductibles, and copays while making sure I go to an in-network provider and figure there has to be a better way. People seem to be ok paying large amounts of money to an insurance company but not the government. If everybody was insured, the costs…

I mean, to be fair, there is a growing contingent of people who actually believe that it’s an unfair idea to have governments create public roads.

Because we worked for fifty years to build this country...yadda yadda. I mean half of these self entitled assholes live in states that suck off of others but take great offense to those “takers”

Conservatives who rail on about not paying for other peoples’ health care and so forth prove that they don’t have the slightest fucking idea what insurance actually is.

The parts that got me are where she gasps in horror at “populist” messages from the Democrat stage like... what the ever-loving fuck do you think Trump is exactly if not a populist?

I saw how easy it would be, as a parent, to accept the idea that my children deserve healthcare and education.

Why is it only kids and younger adults who don’t get healthcare, but when you reach some magical age, it’s suddenly ok? These people do not have one iota of compassion.

How does The Onion even come up with ideas anymore?
