He literally poo poo himself for several weeks as part of his plot to get out of the draft during Vietnam. Among the tough-talking patriotic right wing chickenhawks he's one of the biggest hypocrites they have.

Nothing will top Dick Cheney being a draft dodger and then serving as Secretary of Defense under Bush and pulling the strings during Dubya's War on Terror.

I mean, Dubya dodged the draft too, but at least he was in the National Guard.

Rubio is trembling, he's got blood all over one side of his face, somebody else's blood, and he delivers the jokes fast, with a flat affect, almost no pauses, then lapses into a high-pitched frantic laughter, that seems to go on forever, before he breaks down into uncontrollable sobs.

Your post is stupid. I never said Trump was winning the presidency. He will not. Hillary Clinton will be the first woman president. Two terms would end in 2024 since each term is 4 years. Caitlyn Jenner would be considered the first trans president if elected.

I like how people still defend Uber when they do things like this:

https://twitter.com/groditi/status/732417874627678210

You can now be paid via Clearbanc debit card when you sign up to drive for Uber in CA and MI. And they'll even give you a $1,000 cash advance with no interest if you're a new driver! Almost like they're looking for people who this would greatly appeal to. And then someone went through the Clearbanc terms and... they charge a $2/day service charge every day you have an outstanding loan, the equivalent of a 36.5% interest rate. At Detroit mileage rates (which they keep cutting), the average driver will never make enough to pay it off.

I hope you didn't also buy a new car through Uber at exorbitant finance rates...

I'd be a lot more accepting of technolibertarians and rear end in a top hat financers if one was selected via an annual lottery to be sacrificed Aztec-style on the steps of the NYSE to appease Mammon. But for some reason no one wants to run on that platform.

So apparently if you change jobs, your new employer can refuse to give you health insurance for 90 days, and your previous employer can cancel your insurance immediately. Your only options are to buy your old plan at full price, go on a spouse or parent's plan if eligible, buy an individual plan, or just get hosed and go without for three months. Which means you need to do complicated price analysis twice during a job change to gain coverage for those three months, or just gamble with your life. This is after the ACA.

None of this would be true if we just had UHC like a first world country.
