Rape accusations are bad enough, but opening for Florida/Georgia Line and having to park your tour bus at Walmart....this is all kind of low rent. All is not well there.

That is a requirement in every state, not just Texas. If you are over the asset limit but have a qualifying need, you have to let them have your assets, up to the amount they spent on you, after your death. People with money go to attorneys years before the need arises, and set up their estates to protect their spouse…

There is a minimum amount that someone has to make in order to get a subsidy under the ACA and if someone is unemployed, they may be under it. If the state did not expand Medicaid, then a person may not qualify unless they are disabled (or pregnant). The article didn’t say she couldn’t afford a policy under the ACA…

They have to know what her resources are to determine if she was was not eligible for Medicaid. Medicaid does have resource limits, although in some situations people can qualify for what is called a “spend down” in which Medicaid kicks in after a certain threshold of expenses are incurred during a certain time…

You call losing by about 70,000 votes in 3 swing states being crushed? That, right there, demonstrates how little you actually know about politics.

EuroYankee, do you have even the slightest clue of the political climate in which “welfare reform” took place? I seriously doubt it. Everything you say shows that you seem to think that legislation occurs in a vacuum. And you are implying here that it black people should put “welfare reform” above all else…

OH PLEASE! The term BernieBro exists because of very well documented bad behavior of the Sanders cultists that included racist, misogynist harassment of black women journalists and superdelegates, as well as calling John Lewis a sell out, harassment of women of all races, death threats, doxxing, and other atrocious…

If this re-warmed crap, the gist of which can be read in any comments section on any story about Democrats, Bernie Sanders, or Hillary Clinton, is all it takes to be a senior writer here, then maybe I should apply. Dude gets paid for this?

By his own admission, Sanders ran as a Dem for the perks - like fundraising and publicity. He got those. His own staff was caught with their hands in the cookie jar having stole Clinton’s data from NPG/VAN, and when temporarily suspended from using the data base for 2 days pending investigation, he threw a fit and…

Bernie did not leave the Democratic Party decades ago. He was never a member. “I am not now, nor have I ever been, a liberal Democrat,” Bernie Sanders, 1985.

False equivalence. While we may have empathy and understanding for the very young who fall in with gangs because they don’t see a lot of options, when any adult commits crimes, they face the legal system. In the case of minorities, that system often treats them disproportionately harsh, and weobject to that, but few…

Fast Forward to 2017. I want to personally that you, Ms. BIVGYb, for the gift of Trump. Not that your Putin pal Jill wasn’t pretty damn bad, with her WiFi fear mongering.

Why is my post above still pending a year later?

Saying that Hillary Clinton said she was going to take away miner’s jobs, without adding her immediate promise, in the same breath, of a $30 billion program to invest in new industry and retrain workers throughout coal country, is an unfortunately dishonest blight on an otherwise excellent article. Rightwing media…

Hillary Clinton did not simply say she was going to take away their jobs. That was an opening statement that was immediately followed by the promise of a $30 billion program for all of coal country, with investment in new industries and retraining programs. To say she said she was going to take away their jobs without…

Godwin’s Law.

Yes, when rules are unfair and/or wrong, they need to be challenged...at the appropriate time and place, sometime other than during an election year. But that takes educating yourself about arcane matters that require effort to understand and working through the appropriate channels. Not showing up at a State Party…

Do you, perhaps, realize now that you were mistaken in placing your political hopes on someone who has incited and refuses to condemn this level of crazy and abuse? Have you upped your critical thinking game now so as to make more informed choices in the future? Nothing wrong with making a mistake, if you learn from…

Then why won’t he come out and clearly condemn it? His supporters obviously have not discerned the alleged fact that he is against such things. They watch him shouting and spitting and waving his arms and that communicates to them that angry behavior is not only okay, but desirable.
