I suppose this is what passes for conservative “wit” - but, as usual, they really just come off as spiteful, resentful, froth-mouthed haters. They’re so pissed a group of folks on stage actually have grown up things to say, instead of dog whistles for the brain dead repub lemmings they are used to.
I don’t understand why conservatives have a difficult time admitting there needs to be a morally responsible, intelligent, beneficent ADULT leading this country, not this side-show huckster shit clown they ass-lick as every dumb brain fart tweet dribbles off his undersized fingers. I think there’s a mental defect there, I don’t see how else they could sabotage America any worse then they have now.
I supposed there is some merit to articles like this…but please, I beg you, no O’Reiley pictures! I only want to see him on the cover of a ghost written overpriced hardback book, with a title like “Slowly killing Billo the clown: Rage, cholesterol and loofahs”
I hope all the police unions around this country are listening to these clowns degrade them. Pay attention.
One, since when do you give any mind to unions? Two, you are an advocate for keeping military assault weapons in the hands of those who will target law enforcement, so… your words are meaningless
Klobuchar says magazine capacity restrictions would stop tragedies. Incorrect. Not unless you limit every single American to one magazine, which is their end goal and not enforceable.
either you are not too bright, or you are disingenuous in the language you use, been proven time and again in our daily mass murders that if a magazine has a 10 round capacity vs one with a say 30 round capacity a murderer would have to swap out two additional times, opening opportunity to respond without facing a hail of bullets, but that doesn’t fit your narrative so you just ignore it, wonder why yo don’t advocate for INCREASED capacity if what you advocate is so sensible
A presidential debate is such a bizarre moment to try to shout down in protest. You get to vote too, folks
you know what is truly bizarre in a presidential debate, a candidate boasting about his hand size as a proxy for how big his penis is, and then a whole political party getting behind that candidate. Prove me wrong fucker.
Obviously not going to help you having missed last night’s debate (although I suspect you can replay it now), but it was on YouTube as well. At 7:50 (Pacific) last night I searched for “stream democratic debate” and the YouTube link was right at the top; clicked it and streamed the whole thing while I kept working. Previous debates had been on CNN and MSNBC websites as the main link, so maybe this was just ABC’s doing.
Still, it isn’t hard to find the debates streaming. Just do a Google search and follow the link. Or if you have one of the major streaming boxes (AppleTV, etc), they usually feature a link to a live stream of the Presidential debates as well (didn’t look last night since I wasn’t in my living room though). Not sure about built-in streaming services on TVs (I avoid those like the plague for many reasons).
Yeah, I know, like I wrote, I was just lazy. Plus beat from having spent half a day working on my car. Right now I’ll vote for whichever Dem promises free car service for life.
He listens to “everybody” and this includes insurance lobbyists. Hey, at least he didn’t put a senior health insurance exec on his payroll and have an affair like Tom Daschle did. He just listened to people on the other side – he’s actually pretty good in the marital fidelity department (I’m dumping on Biden here rather hard but he played nice with DINOs like Daschle. Perhaps he should have got out of the preznit nomination business and challenged Daschle and the rest of the DINOs. He’d realize that he didn’t really want to be POTUS, and would rather be a figure beloved by the Dem base AND who could get stuff done. BTW I have the same advice for Bernie Sanders, who had he not gone nuts after his near-loss to Hillary would be the chairman of the Senate Ways and Means committee, with Hillary as president.
One other point. Traditional “moderates” don’t accept that there is an abstraction called public insurance. Your health claims industry is a function of some tangible or intangible moral defect. THe difference is that conservatives want you to die; moderate pseudo-liberals want to save you from your own moral failings. This is a huge issue with how health care is developed. A private insurance company CAN’T, at least not without a highly regulated public reinsurance network, deal with this. And since they don’t offer a differentiable product, but have a huge marketing and underwriting apparatus, the idiot CEOs in suits and good hair come out and alternate between political intrigue and long afternoons at the golf course. That’s not a statement about whether private insurance companies are good or evil or about the merits of their leadership. It is following inevitable rules of a closed but somewhat competitive business.
A lot of the problems with health insurance revolve around dealing with structural risk. Medicare takes everyone and is mostly about efficiently spreading out the cost. I’ve dealt enough with health insurance that I have no illusions about it being lean and mean, but the fact remains that something like 98-99% of the money that goes in goes out as payments for medical services. The comparable figure for private health insurance is about 85% for employer plans and about 80% for private plans. Can they do retail claims processing better? Probably. But they are now servicers (and there is a lot of competition since ultimately market forces will make those rates be cost of medicare coverage plus cost of administration, marketing, et.al. plus ROI on the capital investments for this infrastructure quite competitive) and there is no speculation on existing assets, which is the fundamental economic model that these people have.
And it’s not about health insurance. If Trump proposed single payer health insurance for white men over 35 only (and their wives provided that the latter didn’t work), my guess is the conservatives, the confederates, and the religious nuts would be jumping all over it in support, as would most Rs. They are pretty overt about the whites-only part.
Crash program to develop a Tesla that can outrun a Bugatti.
Prohibit people from carrying their guns in the gunrack or their kids in the flatbed of their big-ass pickup trucks. This eliminates the deplorable element from pickups, and had Burt Reynolds been in an F150 they all would have easily outrun the “make like a piggy, boy! SQUEAL!” wing of the Republican party.
Only allow ownership of redneck-appeal weapons in, say, Wyoming. (If you live there and don’t want to be the victim of my schemes, nominate some other state. I’m sure we could set up a neighborhood development in Colorado, south of Cheyenne, for anyone who felt the need to escape this particular apocalypse.)
Get that fat slob Trump out of Somerset County, NJ. Or if he must go there, eliminate all airspace restrictions over the area. My diaper drone wants to see Trump Bedminster from low altitude.
Even conservative historians would tell you otherwise. Of course, these right wingers don’t like the details. (A bunch of somewhat unskilled militia brushed the hair of the considerable larger, better equipped redcoat platoon from the best military in the world. It slowed them down for long enough to get all the contraband away from Concord. In the mean time, the colonials demonstrated that the British didn’t know shit about counterinsurgency.
Before that, a bunch of rabble (the British army obeyed their orders and did not attack, until the mob attacked them. At some point, the British started shooting back without orders. The altered version, taught in just about every history book, says that it was brave American patriots who were shot down by genocidal redcoats. (They admitted some time ago the Crispus Attucks – how much more New England than that name get – was African American and in fact people in Boston gladly point out that the first casualty of the civil war was a black guy. My wife grew up in Boston, where everyone, left, right, and center, is taught that it was genocide by the British.
And there was the French-and-Indian war in the 1750s, and the British deployment of successful biological WMDs before that (apparently science had figured out that smallpox was a virus, and gave the local native americans in western PA a bunch of smallpox infected blankets: Native Americans had no natural immunity.
IIRC correctly, the Puritans (you know, the people whose caps are used as the Mass Pike logo – about 15 or 20 years ago, they eliminated the version with the arrow going though it) and the people who settled Jamestown (you know, the shithole banana republic that wrote the book on genocide in North America) were the first colonists. Before that were the Vikings, who decided there was nothing to see and went home to Greenland and Iceland. Before that were the ancestors of the native Americans, who headed in over the land bridge that used to connect Alaska and Russia; genetically, northern American Indians can be traced back to northeastern Asia. It sure as hell didn’t start in July 1776. Massachusetts and Maine celebrate Patriots Day as a mandatory state holiday; bombing the marathon didn’t make the Chechen mafia popular in those parts.
Don’t you usually find these kinds of comments written on bathroom walls in black magic marker? They certainly make as much sense and have as much thought put into them.
At a certain point just stop giving these wanna be losers any air time. What they say IS NOT NEWS. I did not read them because I do not care what they think.
Regardless of the fact that the original Constitution explicitly mentions a militia, its duties, and how it might be “well regulated” in Art. I, sect. 8, graphs 15 and 16. Gosh, how could that great scholar of the Constitution Justice Scalia have totally missed that when he was writing his Heller opinion?
Well at least we know now where O’Lielly has been hiding himself. I believe Lahren is Megan Kelly v. 2.0 and that she’s been using a too strong hydrogen peroxide solution to bleach her hair.
