And John Fucking Bolton, the conservative neocon hero who never met a war he didn’t like, is suddenly a Democratic plant, or something. These people have really been playing the long con. For like, 40 years, since before Trump was even a public figure basically. It's truly incredible how many years everyone has been…

“If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”

It’s not even “they had it coming” defense, it’s more of a “I shot that kid because I thought he was actually a hostile alien, and because my intentions were good the resulting crime shouldn’t count” defense. Stand Your Ground laws, but for treason. 

Basically it’s impossible to debate someone who won’t even admit that facts are facts.

I thought you might enjoy the “gives zero fucks” Elizabeth Warren. It’s like the Obama “anger translator”. Because if you are a woman or a POC, you have to watch your tone; and need one:

“And it explains why dialogue and debate about controversial, interesting ideas are becoming more difficult in our divisive age. “

We should all follow the Chief Justice’s lead and refuse to acknowledge Rand Paul exists

“If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”

I feel bad for your son having MS so early in life. That’s not a diagnosis that you want to have at any time, but definitely not so young.

This is heartbreaking. I am sorry you and your son are going through this. We are morally failing as a society until we end this deplorable treatment and neglect of our fellow human beings.

Don’t worry, Trump has worked with the pharmaceutical companies to lower prices (LOLNOT!) and he will have the best healthcare replacement, you know the one that he touted during his campaign for President and was going to get it done in the first year, but keeps getting pushed back, but it is going to happen, you…

The one time I got laid off the COBRA quote was so ridiculous I remember actually laughing out loud.

That’s fucking terrible, and shame on his employer! That said, healthcare should not be tied to employment.

I’ve certainly never been able to afford COBRA when leaving a job. Even when I had a good savings cushion, I needed that money for the transition and emergencies. I couldn’t afford to tap into it for the ridiculous amount of money COBRA was asking.

So I had to look this guy up (“author” is thrown around a lot). He is a health insurance lobbyist who writes for The Federalist, Ben Domenech’s* online right-wing rag.

And just to add, this was for one person. I’m sure it would be much more expensive for a family.

LOL at “a few grand at most.” My last job transition where I needed COBRA I got a quote of $1,300 a month! That would have been $3,900 for three months, not including other healthcare costs like copays and deductibles. This was 2012, and health insurance as obviously only skyrocketed since then. I was luckily in a…

My son works 50+ hours a week in a salaried position. His employer does not offer health insurance coverage because it’s cheaper for them to just pay the penalties.
