Personally I hope that Ivanka starts a divorce proceeding so we can watch how all these dumbfucks blurt out that "divorcing her is what any good Christian would do."

Oops. Melania is the wife, Ivanka the daughter. Mixed them up. Maybe I am the true sexist???

Tbf Trump also mixes them up from time to time, I'm sure its totally normal. :shepicide:

So I guess minorities shouldn't worry about the police since the probability of being killed by one is also essentially zero in any given year?

It's almost as if how people emotionally respond to things isn't guided by taking in facts and making GBS threads pure logic. Are you libertarian by any chance? Cause I hear that sort of thing all the time from them.

No, I'm hella leftie. Police bias is about a lot more than just getting killed by cops, it also has to do with minorities being disproportionately targeted by cops, convicted by juries, and sentenced by judges. It's a massive problem that affects minorities in a big way. It would not even be unfair to say that cops are way more dangerous to minorities than terrorists are.

The ting about feminism is not that women are better than men, but that all humans should be allowed to human beings on equal terms. Or idiots on equal terms, for that matter

What has definitely changed is that people see the government having a responsibility to provide health care. PPACA has created an expectation that everyone have health care, and the free market "if you can't afford it, tough poo poo" philosophy is dead. Yes, there are still some people who believe that, but no one campaigns on it. Paul Ryan would love to scrap all government involvement in health care, but he knows that's incredibly unpopular today, so they claim their plan will cover more people than the ACA. Then they have to defend it on its merits rather than just say "it's not the government's business." The conversation has shifted from "should we ensure that everyone has coverage" to "what's the best way to cover everyone?" There's no going back from that. Single-payer has a chance today because it's no longer about "free market vs. government regulation" but about "efficient vs. inefficient government regulation."
I used to believe this, but now I suspect that if poor people get thrown off health care and premiums and deductibles for people who already had health care pre-ACA go down some and/or people can choose plans that cover less so they can pay less, the political penalty for all this would be very short-lived, perhaps even nonexistent.

A large number of people (who vote) don't really care if everyone is covered. They care about how much they pay. A lot of them don't want to think that's the kind of person they are, but that's the truth. They will take the Republican spin that it will all work out somehow and "give it a chance" because it's what they want to believe.

The Republicans do not and will not have to argue "What's the best way to cover everyone." They will instead argue "What's the best way to help your personal bottom line?"

Putting aside the tendency of the left to eat itself, it's perfectly understandable that some people are obsessed with "perfect feminism" when any failing is seized upon by crazy assholes and paraded as "proof of hypocrisy" or whatever the heck.

kim already released his statement, and it's a gentle fart.

He just claims to have worked with Rich (under a codename Rich had?) and that Rich totally leaked the emails. That's it. He totally has evidence, but only if Mueller will pay for his travel to the US. Oh, and this BOMBSHELL IMPORTANT NEWS is buried on the front page of his site. You have to scroll past a bunch of bullshit like his CDs and videos before getting to the pertinent information. But totally a legit reveal, you guys. Not at all a shallow attempt to get more eyeballs to his site via a man's tragic murder.

Given that the filibuster is the only reason the Senate hasn't nuked Obamacare and ignored the draconian Trump budget, that seems like a really goddamned bad idea.

Not to even consider how much worse 2010 could have gone if such a naked grab for power got the same reaction as when FDR tried to pack the court.

Would you have voted republican if the democrats had eliminated the filibuster for the purpose of passing a better version of healthcare reform? If so, own up to it. If not, who would be "reacting" and why?

The filibuster still exists because the senate republicans do not want to pass Trump's budget proposal or repeal Obamacare. Whether due to genuinely not wanting to set policy that bad or fearing for their re-election chances due to people reacting to the effects of that policy. But note, effects of the policy, not because they expect their voters to care about decorum.

How the gently caress is that American Exceptionalism? It's "America is a hosed up place full of hosed up people." You can whine and cry that it should not be that way and get nothing, or you can live in the real world and try to actually get something accomplished.

The whole point of the PPACA was ensuring things DID change. If Dems wanted nothing to change, they would have let single payer hardliners talk, again, completely derailing all actions and ensuring nothing gets passed, again, and making sure nothing changes, again.

Yeah, Scott Adams is actually funny when he's going on about how everyone is stupid. It's when he pivots to saying "except for the (rich) (white) male master race" that he just turns into an rear end in a top hat.
