Trump and his veto are not a problem. He is the most easily manipulated moron in history. You just need two things to get him to do anything, power and flattery.

I think they can do both. In fact I think they NEED to do both. Trump still holds veto. He also only respects power, and is easily manipulated if he thinks you are powerful. The Dems need to have a two pronged attack to get shit done and hold him accountable.

I was thinking this morning that now would be the PERFECT time to get universal healthcare through. First, they have a good majority and can claim a mandate from the people. Second they have the Sword of Damocles hanging over Trumps head in the form of the Epstein files. Third, they can get someone slimy like schumer to tickle Trump’s pickle with the thought of surpasing Obamacare with the name Trumpcare.

Get that shit through then prove that he tried to sweep the Epstein files under the rug and hang him out to dry. Multitask motherfuckers.

“Horrible, horrible human being and Epstein friend Alan Dershowitz blathers about Rep. Ilhan Omar probe”

Talarico had the flu and Paxton was talking shit?

that alone should be a talking point. Texas does not currently require sick or family leave, and it is widely supported. “I support sick leave”.

mealie needs nutritional data for the recipes.

You go up the cinder cone? I love Batchelor, one of my favorite mountains.

lol, this made me laugh in the most depressing manner.

it counts as a donation, he gets to deduct it

PG&E SUCKS so fucking hard. They are responsible for over a hundred deaths and does anyone go to jail? No they increase rates, declare bankruptcy and pay bonuses to their execs.

we are seeing a resurgence of New World Screwworms. We eradicated it in the US in 1966, however, we have since seen a resurgence. Basically we used sterile males to make sure no new worms would be born in the US but thats a big border, so we worked with Mexico and other north and Central American countries to push it down past panama. Unfortunately when republicans find out we are spending money fighting disease in other countries, they think why help them? and kill funding. So now we are going to have to spend a shitload more money to defend our wide ass border, rather than a fraction of the cost defending a natural border.

“The incumbent”… You mean Susan Colin’s? Ms “I’m sure Trump learned his lesson”, that incumbent?

it would be amazing if Stewart wore a bow-tie. I would love to watch that.

Kids should be raised by their parents not by salaried strangers that don’t really give a fuck about them other than to earn their paycheck.

This is such a twisted mentality. My wife is a teacher. We have lots of friends who are teachers. From TK up through middle school. These people CARE. No one outside some truly scummy and rare substandard daycare places get into this simply for a paycheck.

So if you want to have a kid in this ideal society of yours, what happens? The party forces you to stay home, abandon your interests so you can devote all your time to raising proper party members?

We all need help sometimes. This is a generally good thing. I’m sure it will have flaws, like school lunch programs (the food is usually processed and nasty), it’s still better than not having it and it is a step towards recognizing we need to support eachother to make this work for everyone.

Its almost like rich idiots are running everything. Like they got their positions not from competency but from nepotism. That can’t be true though.

Its kinda weird that Trump is the alternative here. I did it too, but the fact that we are rolling over him breaking the 22nd amendment and then pretending like our votes matter at that point is kinda messed up when you step back.

On the other hand, not-trump is a pretty damn good quality.

Sad but true. I fucking hate that we are talking about this fucking asshole, but like that bullshit recall election in '21, I will hold my nose and vote for harm reduction. So fucking depressing. You think its gonna be Trump again? If he wants to stay in power, breaking the 22nd amendment, why have elections at all?

THIS MAN HAS A WORM IN HIS BRAIN.

How we allowed him to lead the HHS is beyond me.

I honestly have never been into an apple store. Why would we want this?

The vagueness of this statement is pretty telling of the competence of these ‘founders’. Rich assholes who have a ‘vision’ and make people who actually work figure out what the fuck is going on.

From the Reuters article on the same topic:

Trump made several visits to cities with large Arab American and Muslim populations, include a stop in Dearborn, a majority Arab city, where he said he loved Muslims, and Pittsburgh, where he called Muslims for Trump “a beautiful movement. They want peace. They want stability.”

‘They will be peaceful when they are dead’
