Local here. Harteau is absolutely a problem here. She has a history of being just fucking awful in so many ways. Just google her. Betsy isn’t much better. If you really want to rage stroke, look up Bob Kroll, the head of the police union. My hope is Nekima Levy Pounds, an amazing local activist, is elected mayor, but…

Reminds me of a woman who said to me early in the Trump candidacy, “He just says what we’re all thinking!” and I had to explain to her that no dear, just because I’m white like you doesn’t mean I’m secretly thinking racist thoughts all the time and only stifle them to be polite.

How did John Mayer escape this list?

Because having your employer involved in your healthcare isn’t creepy to you? Get employers out of healthcare.

Me not wanting to pay for other people’s stuff makes me soulless? That’s a pretty hot take.

On some level, someone could make that (very presumptuous accusation), because with humanity and with community comes the understanding that we should all be in this together on some level. You get to sit at home in your AC, on your couch, and not have to worry about a neighbor who can’t afford to heal themselves if…

You paying for other people’s stuff is how any insurance works. Insurance isn’t a savings account that you’re paying into. You not understanding that doesn’t make you soulless, but it doesn’t make you educated on what you’re talking about either.

YOU ALREADY ARE PAYING FOR OTHER PEOPLE’S HEALTHCARE, you blithering idiot.

When was the last time McCain stood for anything? He has said some reasonable stuff against the Republican agenda since Trump was elected, but then he just goes and votes for it anyway. He’s all talk. It’s sad because he talks like the only reasonable Republican with half a brain left, but he never actually opposes…

My husband and I were just having this conversation about the Dems. Whyyy do they suck so much at branding? It should be so easy to say something like “You are worried about the future of your jobs, we want to make sure you don’t have to worry about healthcare too” or something. Anything.

I the irony of McCain, a man who has been eligible for tax-payer funded healthcare his entire adult life (through the military, VA, and Congress) limping back to Washington (pre-existing conditions and all) to kill this bill is just overwhelming.

In an email to me this morning, my mom wrote “You know, I felt bad for McCain last week, but to leave his sick bed in order to take away other people’s health insurance? FUCK HIM.”

C’mon McCain. Lead by standing up to this bullshit loudly and decisively. That would be a significant lesson in true servant leadership and lock down a legacy to truly be proud of.

I mean...just wow. Wow.

He probably still gives shitty Christmas presents too

Its funny how small minded and simple people in the south are about a piece of land still, even within their own state.

I’m pretty sure neither of those ladies would need a gun to kick his ass.
