It is a right-wing meme that the reason HRC didn't give her concession speech until the morning after election night is that she spent the entire night whacked out on some type of drug and trying to strangle Podesta and Mook for ruining her. I don't know what the sources are, but yeah probably not anything reputable.

It comes from an exaggeration from the truth that she cried the entire night and blamed Obama and Comney for her loss.

Trump will do something incredibly stupid and start world war 3, possibly with Russia.

Garrison will blame Obama even if Trump literally tweets "BRB, Starting WW3".

Were liberals seriously this blind to Obama at any time? I feel like he was criticized (fairly at times) from both sides.
A number of liberal cartoonists have been fairly chill with Obama and things like the drone program or doggedly defending Obamacare as if it isn't based on old conservative ideas.

It's not nearly as bad as Republicans, who will defend their guy no matter what. Four years ago, Putin was an evil chessmaster outwitting Obummer at evey turn. Suddenly he's now a good ally and friend.

Stalin. His advisers were too scared he might not actually be dead.

Also I came back into this thread after a while away and was reading October AFTER Trump had been elected and christ it's weird to see everyone so totally assuming he'd lost, even the right wing cartoonists.

There is a massive civil war going on the right wing establishment right now over this. Ryan and McCain for example are saying Obama didn't go far enough. Ofcourse the rank and file are behind Trump and Putin, and in reality only tradational neocons and people crying about the Hillary loss care about Putin. In the end the Republicans really will get behind Trump's planned friendship with Russia because it isn't an actual club to hit him with.

Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."

"Lame Duck" refers to a politician who already has a successor lined up and is therefor politically ineffective, not someone who has the power to destroy the world. You idiot. You dope.

The suit. Trump spends $5,000 on a suit and it fits him like a garbage bag because he will not admit he's overweight.

Bald, too.

It works though, because people don't notice he's fat and bald. Misdirection, I guess.

Yeah, that would be a problem for people to do this with health insurance. If only there were some way to mandate people buy insurance before they need it.

Well... that's a pretty contentious statement really.

The problem with health insurance is that we view it like a car insurance in the first place, a just-in-case settlement structure designed to pay out large sums of money from a communal pool in the event that it is needed. This works (kind of - that's also debatable) because you can view the added cost of mandatory insurance as a fundamental part of car ownership, along with gas or repairs. You can also simply choose not to own a car.

Making health insurance a fundamental cost of existing is contentious. Ideally, people wouldn't have to buy in advance of anything else in order to be treated for stuff. I realize mandatory health insurance is a half-decent compromise in a country where people just refuse to buy it, but people refuse to buy health insurance for the totally reasonable issue of not being able to afford it in the first place.

People can give up their car and take the bus easier than people can give up on their loved ones when they get some expensive illness. And society balks at saying "No insurance? No hospital!" to a man who just got hit by a car and is bleeding out.
