and unfortunately the only way thats gonna happen is with a supermajority of democrats who have the cajones to just ram the shit through without playing games and without trying to get the republicans involved
Do even Dems talk about further improvements or tiptoeing any closer to single payer these days? It has been seeming to me the insurance lobby has things sewn up pretty tight.
Trump and Stochastic Terrorism - like peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, beans and rice.
Edit: I see I (and other top level comments) have the customary downvote from the silent maga that seems to pay attention to threads like these. Thank you buddy, until I see that one downvote show up with no counterargument to be seen I feel like my comments about Trump aren’t complete.
You don’t have kids do you? I think he’s terrible but absolutely agree with that response.
I do, and I agree with him about kids but disagree with him that it’s the only valid viewpoint to have. What’s “transformatively positive” for me may still have external impacts that someone else chooses not to inflict on the world, or may still be a choice someone chooses not to make because of general concern for the state of the world those children would be born into, or may not be “transformatively positive” for someone else for a host of other reasons.
Yep, it’s increasingly clear the collapse of the Republicans seems to have primarily accomplished pushing D further right. The Republicans invited all the crazies into their party and drove it into the ground, but somehow it’s Progressives that are out in the cold as a result.
gg conservatives
Oh for sure, and I wasn’t suggesting otherwise.
I expect a more immediate and flagrant violent event in that case vs the other two though.
or he’s going to win (or be handed the win by the Supreme Court Rubber-stamping Service),
I agree with your comment in general and apologize for what may sound like a bit of a flippant reply, but I actually think what would worry me the most is if it it goes to SCOTUS and they somehow do NOT install Trump. I think the super-faithful deep-state-believers would lose their effing minds at that turn of events - this is where I would expect to see the violence ramping up the fastest.
That was a joy to read.
I’m sorry to tell you I am one of those people, as is my family. Every so often I have a moment of clarity about it, but it doesn’t last long.
I can’t tell you how much humor I found in this response to that comment. 😁
Let me just say I love an effing Payday. And recently I discovered this, which is kinda like a Payday if the center part was hollwed out into a tube and filled with peanut butter. So damn delicious.
The only other human he cares about is the daughter he hopes to fuck.
Ah I apologize, I read your comment as citing him for his witty euphemism, not as calling him out for his maga-ness.
I’m not sure if there’s a way to know without checking.
There’s not, but I still had a post removed for it. (Worse, after I’d agreed to change it when notified, but not cheerfully enough or something.)
Hmm maybe. I agree it should be a national holiday and I agree that the current situation provides far more barriers for some groups than others.
Do I think those things are solely or even primarily responsible for that map? No, I do not.
I am tired of blaming someone who gets 2% for when bad things happen. Blame the 30% who did nothing.
She deports all republicans to the nations of their ancestors.
😂 🤣
I haven’t heard that, do you have a source?
I went looking for one, and it seems not as cut and dried as I thought.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/kamala-harris-record-marijuana-prosecutor-173249390.html
But it is fair to talk about Harris’ complex relationship with marijuana.
As a senator, Harris championed marijuana decriminalization and eventually legalization. She signed Senator Cory Booker’s marijuana legalization bill in 2017, and she also introduced her own bill to decriminalize marijuana at the federal level.
But as an attorney general, her record is much more complicated. Harris oversaw roughly 1,956 misdemeanor and felony convictions for “marijuana possession, cultivation, or sale,” according to Reuters. However, defense attorneys and prosecutors in Harris’ office told Mercury News that most of the people convicted during this period did not serve jail time. And convictions for marijuana did go down under Harris’ tenure as district attorney.
At the end of the day, calling Harris out on her previous role in convicting folks for marijuana crimes isn’t entirely unfair. But it’s also pretty misleading to pretend that she pulled a switcheroo on the issue just in time for the midterms.
This article spins it slightly differently, IMO, but still not solidly stating what I believed to be true. Bold added by me.
As district attorney in San Francisco, however, she had enforced cannabis laws and opposed legalized use for adults. She defended its usage for medicinal purposes, but her prosecutors convicted over 1,900 people on cannabis-related charges. When she was running for reelection as attorney general, she opposed legalizing marijuana for recreational use, which was supported by her GOP opponent.
That aside, it remains true that at this point it’s nothing but a campaign promise.
Ah, the article linked above seemed to say that he’d just begun the process this past May, but maybe I misread it. I will read it again.,
Meh, he’s a piece of shit these days himself.
They’ll never hear about it.
I guarantee the media they are listening to showed them this:
“The governor’s doing a very good job. He’s having a hard time getting the president on the phone,” Trump told reporters. “The federal government is not being responsive.”
But never showed them this:
“The president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back and he just said, ‘Hey, what do you need?’ And I told him, ‘We got what we need. We’ll work through the federal process. He offered that if there’s other things we need just to call him directly, which I appreciate that,” Kemp said.
He’s saying it’s not going to change anything for anyone. The folks voting for Harris are voting for Harris whether they know he’s a Nazi or not. And the folks voting for Trump are voting for Trump whether he’s a Nazi or not. (And some of them because he’s a Nazi.)
