There's a somewhat subtle difference.

At the time of writing the book (either The Dilbert Principle or The Joy of Work, since those were the two I had), he happily included himself in his claim, which was "we're all idiots, at least some of the time." But his ego has gotten out of control in the intervening years.

Here's the catch, and you'd figure this out if you lived anywhere near a beach area, perfect tits aren't a thing for most people. In fact, most of what you'll see is grandma tits and so it'll be less like blushing and more like the normal kind of tits you already see in public, ones on people who are way over weight or don't maintain a good self image.

And that's fine.

Those kind make me blush too, it just feels like there's something private that someone accidentally left on display. I realize that it is entirely my problem, though.

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.

Not only pay for his travel to the US, but also guarantee his return home i.e. grant immunity from the extradition order he's fighting. Totally not self-serving there.

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 Tea Party was out in force with signs decrying Obama as "Socialist" and "Tyrant". You don't think they get millions more votes from moderates and independents if Obama actually passed UHC and destroyed two hundred years of Senate traditions to do it? You don't think there would be hundreds of thousands of liberals wringing hands and deciding to stay home because they didn't like Obama's methods, and besides, it wasn't real UHC, it's just Medicaid for all/a public option/nationalizing the hospitals and everyone knows that Medicaid for all/a public option/nationalizing the hospitals is the right way to do UHC.

Probably not on propose. The right gave Obama so much poo poo for bowing that Trump was clearly trying to avoid doing that. So when King Salman was giving him with a necklace and presented it to him like he was supposed to bow while the King put it around his neck, Trump bent his knees and squatted slightly and it came off looking like a curtsy.

Not all Republicans Republican, some stay home, and being a dumbass doing dumbass things makes them come out and vote more. What color is the sky in your world where all Republicans alway vote, there are no swing voters who change their minds, and liberals don't stay at home or go third party because the Democrats aren't sufficiently pure of heart?

I had no idea that we could just say "there are no consequences" and make it true. Why didn't we think of just telling America "you're fine with this" and then just having them be fine with it.

I don't disagree entirely with this sentiment as written, but it does seem hypocritical that you're now claiming all future healthcare reforms as an intended feature of this law considering the campaign you worked on last year vociferously opposed single-payer, called it "throwing out Obamacare and starting from scratch," etc. Can't have it both ways. Was Obamacare intended to inspire single-payer or not?

Now you're just trying to show me up, but long story short, Bernie single-payer != the only way to single-payer. Hillary would have kept the ACA Medicaid expansion (single-payer), supported a public option (single-payer for many if you factor in subsidies), supported an age-55 Medicare buy-in (single-payer), and way back in the day created CHIP (single-payer). I have no doubt that she would have signed a single-payer bill if it arrived on her desk. More likely, the reform she would have pursued would have been gradual, and it may have led to a German-style healthcare system rather than a Canada-style system, but it would have been a big improvement. Everything that Joe Lieberman stripped out of the ACA Hillary (and the rest of the Democrats) wanted back in, and then some.

I feel like we haven't seen Taylor Jones for a while.
