Joe Ferguson forever

While I despise her, she seems to have very good political instincts. Has she turned to the light? Not yet. But if it works for her, we"ll see.

A country that allows pedophiles, no matter how powerful, to face justice. Still too much traffic for me.

my wife cares. She'd prefer sci fi or a documentary. My friends care. They were recording as well. I'm sure they're watching now. Wha sports fan wouldn't be? You're ridiculous. I would do the same. Is your child hungry? There was a decent jazz band in the cidery. didn't miss an inning.. not ashamed.

how many million would be too much for you to bear? World series taped. Watching now. Go Toronto!! This is class.

Great. For now you can differentiate 2 logical fallacies. Congrats. perhaps reading comprehension can be improved as well: "10's of millions of hungry children and uninsured people"

"In the U.S., about 8% of the population, or approximately 26 million people, were uninsured in 2023. The uninsured rate has decreased significantly since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, which aimed to expand coverage options and reduce the number of uninsured individuals." from kff multiple sources state that 1 in 5 children are food insecure. That's roughly 10 mil. So what's your argument? together that's 10's of millions. Not enough to thaw your cold heart? less importantly, you still don't understand what the straw man fallacy is. Even had I actually misstated the number (I didn't) that would not be a straw man. It would be a false premise.

I have a friend who owns a large cattle farm (yes, we have those in Va). I met him a few years ago on a cruise. We were seated across from each other at most meals with others from our community on the cruise. My reputation as a liberal proceeded me and he asked if it might be better if we didn't discuss politics. I agreed and we got along famously and still do. He was a solid trump supporter. Not so much these days. He told my wife he's fed up. There may come a point where we can discuss politics with each other other. Same with other conservative friends. I just hate that trump needed to hurt their businesses for us to get there.

nope. and no one has said that it should. there's that straw man you magas are so fond of. by most measures, we are the wealthiest county in the history of the world. And yet we have 10's of millions of hungry children and uninsured people, one serious illness away from homelessness and bankruptcy.. And it's getting worse by the day. Most other 1st world countries do much better. and your solution is to punt.... so let's fix it...or choose the better alternative offered by maga...oh, wait.

“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea” (Matthew 18:6).

den of vipers...

A recent Instagram post earned supermodel Gigi Hadid nearly a half a million likes, but it wasn't a photo of herself or of the latest fashion trend. It was a quote from Benedictine Sr. Joan Chittister on the importance of being more broadly pro-life, not just "pro-birth." The quote — which Chittister confirmed she said during an interview with journalist Bill Moyers in 2004 — said: "I do not believe that just because you are opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, a child educated, a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is."

hmmm...ever heard of instacart?

The guy has no conscience, no concern for anyone. I think he hates poor people more than any other group. But they’re to blame for eating the shite he’s fed them.

it reflects the fear that much of the electorate has that this will adversely affect them. It's that reality hitting them in the face. Few see this healthcare debacle as making America great again. And so far, all the R's are offering is that they don't feel it'll be that bad. Oz bluntly stated that the other day. "patriotic" displays and propaganda are rarely useful when people see a quality of life issue going the wrong way. We'll see more of it from SNAP and Medicaid cuts when the rubber meets the road.

Publicizing that was part of her resume for a job in the trump admin. She figured they'd value her ruthlessness. She was right.

sadly, what the populace wants isn't important to a king. but it could well cost him some pawns, knights and bishops.

45-33 would be a nice score for a Bills win Sunday night. It's not a good score for trump on the shutdown. https://thehill.com/homenews/5582193-trump-gop-blamed-shutdown/

Ozzy is a quick read. He's got the maga boss shite down already. He's always been good at lying. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/not-big-issue-republicans-shrug-consumers-confront-health-care-sticker-rcna240722

agreed. trump should be in jail.

nope. Either the supplements get reinstated, millions of people who are currently insured become uninsured or we go to a Medicare for all model. My friend's no fool. The more I think about it, the more I suspect his concerns are warranted. We've had the discussion before. He knows I'm for universal coverage. I didn't rub it in. Honestly, I was shocked.

Trump could end this with another executive action. He’s used them for much less valid reasons.

No. I suppose that’s why my friend looked unwell tonight. He’s a solid R but not maga. He see’s his business starting to crumble. Cool. Avoid Tylenol and roundup and you’ll live forever. Maybe add some supplements hawked by our CMS czar. And if you can’t afford a proper surgery you might need to try that. But I’d advise against it.

But KFF found the amount that people pay for coverage is set to rise 114 percent on average because Congress has not extended the enhanced tax credits that help people afford insurance plans. we had marketplace plans for 3 years. No complaints.

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5579055-window-shopping-2026-affordable-care-act-plans/ the shite is going to hit the fan when people see their premiums increase massively. was talking to a friend who happens to be an insurance agent we used for years for business. He said that Medicare for all is going to happen. I couldn’t really follow his reasoning but he looked gray and he’s very bright.

Because he and many like him think they validate their bizarre beliefs.
