Trump got the lowest share of women's vote since the 19th Amendment was passed. More than 80% of the phone calls inundating Washington are coming from women. This is why your boys are living on borrowed time.

While we're on the topic of racists in the White House, more news today:

And on the Russian front, it's also been fast-moving, not just the Blackwater story but now this: https://www.buzzfeed.com/alimwatkins...3dw#.tbqL5VbpK

But I'm sure it's all like a bar fight because Obama had a black woman as National Security Advisory.

Fuck yeah! Now you're talking some sense. In Adder's defense, he was probably relying on a CNN story that does not seem to have a lot of substantiation at this point. This is not as patently ridiculous as, for example, stating with absolute certainty something like "NOBODY cares about the Russia issue" contrary to a poll showing that a majority of Americans actually want a special investigation, which is the pure ass talkery that we have come to expect from certain posters here not to be named. So, while I do not believe Adder engaged in the pure ass talking we see from those you-now-whos (it's Sebastian), it is not the type of statement that builds a great deal of credibility for your argument. But credibility and substantiation are things of the distant past, many months distant. Now we just fucking say shit. If we feel it or want to believe it, then it's a motherfucking fact, and there's no need for those bullshit caveats that douchebag lawyers and other pussies use. Just fucking say the damn thing and then say it again, who cares what the truth is, we're manufacturing the fucking truth every time we speak. There's no there there. Hillary loses Pennsylvania by 8 points. The only people who care about the Russia issue are a tiny fraction of the readership of Mother Jones, which is actually a negative percentage of the population of the United States. You know what an alternative fact is? It is a fact that is alternative to the facts cited by fucking pussies.

I'm sorry. Now I understand. Trump, brilliant SOB he is, orchestrated it so he could target a black female White House NSA Advisor.

Give the investigation time... we'll most assuredly find he specifically picked her out of the all the other available White House NSA Directors based on her background.

My boys? There you go again.

This is the most infuriating part about the current crop of people screaming about the election. If I fuck with you, I'm automatically a supporter of the other side.

If I've any aim it's to convince you to work outside the system. I actually sympathized with the poor misguided people in Occupy. They got it. You're just a limousine-- errr, Uber XL liberal.

The system is broken. Remove Trump and you'll just get Pence. Elect another Democrat and you'll just more neoliberal economic policies that create further social divisions and higher taxes.

There. Is. No. Fix. We need a giant reset. Sadly, because people like us and our spoiled baby boomer parents were only concerned with keeping the status quo in place thru unrealistic promises, its past the available political salves.

If you think taxes will fix it, to borrow from Lemmy, "get back in line." And get a fucking math tutor.

Isn't throwing haymakers in the air necessarily pointless? Unless you're, like, fighting bats.

If you're not going to read what I said, why bother? Why not just post, "I don't get it but am saying the same things again and again."

Quote:

They won't need so much expensive coverage because, again, in a world where we had transparent and real market prices for routine care, people would not require it. You're missing the routine care cost reduction portion of the concept. As to care for pregnancies, that could be built into plans. Just put a "pregnancy rider" into the plan. The market could sell those to people in need of such coverage. You can tailor all sorts of plans to all sorts of circumstances if you want to do so.
I'm not missing it at all. I'm assuming that you're right about it for purposes of this conversation. What you don't get is that enabling insurers to offer that kind of coverage to everyone instead of just some people under 30 may, as a practical matter, prevent anyone from buying the sort of coverage that the ACA now requires, e.g., coverage of pre-existing conditions.

Quote:

The notion of our rights being negative stands at the core of our economic dynamism. Exceptions to it should be exceedingly narrow and made only under the most dire of circumstances. I'm allowing you to effectively find a right to health care insurance here, which is a huge exception. And I'm saying an SUV sized one is okay. You prefer an 18 wheeler sized one. Why not start off with mine, and if yours becomes necessary, expand? We are trifling with the core concepts on which the nation is constructed. If we start finding new and generous positive rights, we will eventually find ourselves in a pretty screwed up Republic, deeply in debt, where the only solution from your side is "Moar taxes!!!" Of course, we all know that we could tax the top 20% at 70% and still not pay for all this shit, but-- Oh, wait. Oh, yeah... We're already there.
You're talking about rights, and I'm not. I'm saying libertarianism has a massive blind spot here, one you are doing your best to show off.

The people who elected these Republicans, which includes you, need to take responsibility for them and fix them. You want a more libertarian party? Go do battle with the evangelicals and get one.

But take some responsibility for your shit.

The Kremlin put out a statement saying he's not a spy after wide-spread discussion of the fact that he's a known spy. What more evidence do you need?

(Alternatively, you understand spy and ambassador are synonyms on 4-6 days of the week, and ambassadors have been monitored by the Obama Admin. As have heads of state, visiting royalty, etc. Recall the Merkel Debacle?)
Right. We monitor a variety of foreign agents. Team 45 has just confirmed that members of the transition were talking to some of them.

You realize that we all know that this act where you act like you're just standing on the outside fucking with the tribal idiots is pure bullshit, right? You lay out your beliefs again and again and again. Maybe you don't realize it. That's surely possible. But we all know what you're about.

And anyone who gets frustrated and quits the board and then comes back with a furious amount of posts about how no one cares about an issue you won't shut the fuck up about cannot claim to be fucking with anyone.

Sorry. I know this doesn't work in your lizard brain view of the world, but I don't give a fuck. My sole enjoyment is poking anything and anyone involved in groupthink of any kind.

You're so "exercised" about it all. And so clueless.
