Intel&Sebastian posted:lmao trump the tactical politician who loves lgbt...q's? and the very principled GOP old guard It's not that he loves the LGBT community, it's that if he goes full Fred Phelps (or Mike Pence for that matter) he'll get destroyed in 2020. Gay Rights are very broadly popular now. Trump knows this. His campaign managers know this. That's why he referenced the LGBT community in his nomination speech. I'm also willing to bet he thinks he can peel off queerfolk, especially White Gay and Bisexual men, from the Democratic Party. Speaking as a queer man, I know a lot of us feel abandoned by LGBTQ community, which often just feels like the L&T community these days. I'm not stupid enough to buy into that feeling as anything more than a little anxiety in certain spaces, but I know plenty of other men who are one more snide remark away from going Logcabin.

It's useful, even for the majority party, in a whole lot of cases. if they keep it they can claim obstructionism on stuff they dont want trump to pass.

They will absolutely push a supreme court justice through if the dems even sniff at a fillibuster, that's gone. And they'll ram through apointees in national courts. But it's not at all clear they'll do it on everything.

Captain Internet posted:For those using the ACA, even more certain. Even those not using it. My insurance through work finds new ways to gently caress us with each new law or change, even though linking the internal and external policies of separately incorporated entities requires some offensively creative abuse of actuarial and fiscal derivatives. Two silos trading enough shares to maximize mutuality. Completely legal, and crooked as gently caress.

I really think that the left overplayed support for "queer" versus "confirmed bachelor". As long as LGB folk still appeared to abide by traditional family roles they were probably fine. A lot of the rhetoric really pissed off lovely people who think it's a personal insult that they need to remember if "lesbo" is hate speech.

I'm graduating college in May (at age 27) and I've been planning on finding a nice stable job at a decent business and trying to become a less political person for my own sanity and general productivity. Now I feel like I have an obligation to work for an organization that will fight to protect those that our bold new rulers will try to crush, or actually start working in direct politics. Taking a normal business job feels like shirking my responsibilities now.

Two silos trading enough shares to maximize mutuality. Completely legal, and crooked as gently caress. Blame specialty drugs being incredibly expensive to develop and produce, insurance companies, through PBMs, negotiate the shittiest deals for both customers and pharmacies/doctors offices. Reimbursement rates are awful and the only ones making money are the insurance companies.

Whatever I'm thinking of happened after he nominated Garland which is prob. why I remember it It's dead for Scotus, or symbolically dead because the dems won't fight. They'll give them an up/down on the merits. I'd just be surprised. Senate is a different beast from the house and there are a lot more calculations those people make. I don't think they have 50 votes to get rid of it.

We'll see what happens in the senate, but I'm not 100% convinced that its happening. Collins is probably a no vote there. Like I said before, the dog has caught the car. While the ACA is incredibly unpopular the majority of the provision are very popular and the rest of the stuff is just to make those provisions possible. I think reform is much more likely than repeal and replace because they all know it will be almost impossible to replace but when people start getting rescission letters it's going to be very, very bad for Republicans.
