I know many on the right fail to read and forget that the ACA is a Heritage Foundation creation and was implemented by Romney in MA as Governor.

Pats apologist or Pats fan?

You don't read much do you?

What I find ironic is we've heard nothing from Trump on this. No twitter barrage? I mean this is the guy who said Crooked Hillary was too close to Wall Street and big finance. Makes me think the election was more about rhetoric than actual change. Good President if you were highly educated. If you were making cars in Michigan or Ohio and are now working at a soon to be closed Sears for $7.25 an hour you're f'd. For 73 days Obama had a super majority and failed to deliver. He could of raised the minimum wage to $9 or $10 an hour but the donor class said no. He could have fought for single payer in the ACA but cowered to Blue Dog Dems and passed a right wing Republican Healthcare plan written by the Heritage Foundation. Obama gets a middling grade for steering the ship straight but much of the gains were a result of Federal Reserve QE and modest financial gains at the expense of workers and for the gains of stockholders equity gains.

When the Democrats became the Party of Wall Street under the Third Way restructure that started in the 1980s the Democrats effectively hollowed out any chance that any objective person could say they represent workers first. Trump saw this weakness and exploited it by rightfully making the Clinton's the poster children of free trade open markets advocated by neoliberal economics. Obama the hope and change candidate effectively extended the neoliberal streak and in the final week of his Presidency delivered to the finance titans who donated so much to make him President. "So in its waning hours, the Obama Administration gave a completely unjustified bailout to private equity landlords, that Fannie Mae is guaranteeing the income of all but the bottom tranches of Blackstones latest rental securitization." http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-25/how-obama-administration-quietly-bailed-out-private-equity-landlords-expense-middle-

PTR and we all know Flutie has no axe to grind because he's originally a Boston College guy. Why taint the franchise? Heard Chris Mortenson or one the national best NFL reporters heard this in passing convo and Flutie retracted before it went on record. Where there's smoke there's fire. Also how does New England get basically a free pass for SpyGate which covered 2000-2007 and then with DeflateGate a much lesser offense they get destroyed? It's because Goodell did a makeup call for not coming down hard enough of SpyGate. Belichick should have been removed from football for one year like Sean Peyton but he cleverly threw Brady under the bus as y'all remember. And using Brady as the scapegoat allowed the CBA and union protections to delay any punishment for Brady. Would have been better if Goodell suspended Brady for a season like he did Sean Peyton.

I'm not a religious person but hope you find comfort in his memory & you will meet again.

Lady Gaga don't care about your bubbler or metal halide lights.

The last project I worked on removed 220,000 kWh a year from the customers electric usage or the equivalency of 164,000 pounds of coal burned in one year. That's a CO2 reduction of 155 metric tons. Smoking doesn't cause cancer says 1 "doctor" out of 100. So D.C. Tom & LA Bills fan start smoking.

Hillary also had the backing of a majority of Bush's foreign policy advisers. It's quite clear that the establishment Democrats have become two faced on the issue of war. This used to be the party that condemned war, and voted protested against it. Now they vote for illegal wars, drone citizens without due process, and conduct 7 interventions while dropping 26k bombs a year, so much so that they ran out of them. This is not your grandfathers Democratic Party. They are pro-fracking, pro-war, pro-regime change, pro-Wall Street bailouts, pro-big Pharma, pro-private health insurance, pro-a $7.25 minimum wage. Their entire platform was platitudes and PC outrage. They paid lip service to the millennials that voted enmasse for Sanders, and after getting his endorsement ran towards the center hoping to gain the endorsement of surbia traditionally white Republicans. Bill Clinton said they wouldn't need Sanders voters. Chuck Schumer falsely predicted for every white working class voter they'd gain two surburbian Republicans. The strategy failed epically. If no one was paying attention Hillary's entire campaign message was Donald Trump is a horrible person. What was her campaign message outside of that? When given the choice between and Republican in policy and a real Republican, voters will pick the Republican every time.

Show me the climate scientists who say the earth isn't warming, and I'll show you an Exxon Mobil shill. We've saw this before with Big Tobacco buying off medical doctors and suppressing facts that tobacco causes cancer.

I see a lot of commenters on here keep on regurgitating Chicago school neoliberal establishmentarian economics. Have we really digressed into an era where empirical evidentiary facts are dismissed as "political"? If climate change is real, and it is as confirmed by 99% of all scientists & even the NSA & the CIA agree, then can we also use empirical data which clearly show right to work state workers make 3.2% less? That is a fact. Let's debate in a fact based world. If you don't like opinions, fine. But come with facts. It should be also pointed out that private sector union membership is near a 100 year old low. The correlation & causation can be blamed on many factors, but there can be no denying the fact that Trump WON the vast majority of private sector union workers in the mid west. Why not embrace this new coalition instead of attacking it?

Audi is a status purchase. Nissan not so much, but their Infiniti brand that's swag too. Who doesn't want heated seats, heated cup holders & a helicopter button Bondesque option?

This just in, Boeing SC is doing a multimillionaire ad buy to defeat unionization efforts by the International Machinists Union. Imagine what a big defeat this would be to big bad Boeing.

Buy American, Bleed American.

States Rights??? What the hell are states rights? Gerluch is a states rights guy......hey that's clever Trump!

It is an empirical fact that right to work state workers make 3.2% less or $1500 less per year. This should be interesting and put Trump at odds with the neoliberal recalcitrant GOP old guard. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/gop-introduces-national-right-to-work-legislation/article/2613428

26k bombs dropped by Obama last year in 7 Muslim majority countries. The question is if he will outdo Obama?

No

Chuck Schumer is still upset about Bannon missing the Holocaust props to his granddaddy.

Has anyone noticed Steve Bannon has yet to release a statement clarifying that Breitbart is fake news click bait?

Sources: Trump went into the meeting ready to fight, leaves "negotiation" empty-handed. Apparently Trump doesn't want to fight for the American people. What a sad, sad joke this is. It took one meeting for this little corporate B word to buckle. Talked a great game, and buckled like a little B word.

Haven't paid for porn in a decade.

He could be Steve Young, or he could more easily be Rob Johnson.

49 year old Columbia, Harvard & Oxford educated. Lots of interesting case decisions my favorite being his opinion for the 2015 case of "Energy and Environmental Legal Institute v. Joshua Epel". A few contradictions: for the death penalty, but against assisted suicide. Also never understood the strict interpretation of the constitution, as social issues on the 1790s are different. As far as a central bank and specific industries they did not exist at the time our founding father wrote it. A few pros: he is for states rights over federal power, which will do me well in many states with legalized cannabis. Overall he is not going to be someone who shakes things up and overturns Roe v Wade which is the fundamental line in the sand for most liberals. His appointment should be swift and I expect the only push back will be from the corporatist Democrats like Boxer, & Booker. When comparing and contrasting Garland vs Gorsuch there is not much of a difference.
