Guys I think that the poster who paid  for an account named "ThisIsWhyTrumpWon" and posts dumb things in the Trump thread isn't interested in having thoughtful and insightful discussions. In fact, I have this strange nagging feeling that this poster actually is dumb and maybe, y'know, possibly, is trying to troll?Just a thought.

I lost track on where we're at with the whole "ok hand sign = white power" thing. I know it started as a 4chan troll, it got some media people to bite but has it crossed over to it being used unironically now? Or is it still all just for a laugh, cause why "lol racism"?

Dietrich posted:Corrected. Yeah, I was a little facetious there. Thanks all for the corrections. What exactly do they mean by being "pushed off Medicaid", then? People who get Medicaid (money to pay for health care services) will in some cases get less (none?) due to changes in the rules for eligibility made at the state level, right?

BiggerBoat posted:Can you elaborate on "red tape"? I don't see how it'd be any more complicated than what most poelpe already deal with health insurance wise. And I'm just wondering if it's allowable and doable in the strictest sense. Like, could a put up a Craigslist ad that says "Uninsured? Pool needed for group health insurance plan. The more people the lower the cost". No medical underwriter would ever offer coverage (at rates you could afford) since the selection risk is so high. Employer paid plans are as close as you can get to a "random sample" of the population that has some kind of organized way to pay premiums. As an insurer, how much would you want to cover a group of people that can't otherwise get insurance?

Supposedly started as a "joke to trigger libtards", then moved on to "haha we're in on the joke" and used by "secret" alt-right White Supremacists, now it's just straight up used by actual White Supremacists with a few people claiming "it started as a joke" as defense when it this get's pointed out.

evilweasel posted:yeah, everyone suffers from this to a degree, the halo effect - things you like you assume are good in all respects, things you dislike you think are bad in all respects - but some people really have it bad and basically can't get over it and things must be Completely Good or Completely Bad and they'll ignore things that contradict whatever one they've selected These people need to go to therapy. I'm being serious, one of the key things a therapist can help with is excessive/unreasonable black-and-white thinking.

Abbe Lowell was the lawyer for the House democrats during Clinton's impeachment trial, as well as being the lawyer for John Edwards, Jim Wright, and Dan Rostenkowski. Nothing says "draining the swamp" more than when your Son-in-Law hires John Edward's lawyer to protect himself from getting his host of sweetheart foreign loans investigated.

BiggerBoat posted:Can 100 people just get together and buy a group plan? Genuinely curious because certainly someone must have thought of this before. Via employer plans, the company is "responsible" for their contributions and yours too (via payroll). With 100 individuals, who is the single point of contact? Who is going to be responsible for collecting the money from all "subscribers" and sending that in on a scheduled basis? Do all individuals trust that this person will indeed do that instead of spending their money on blow and hookers?

Bonus points if they're on Medicaid for being disabled. OK, so it's just basically a decrease in funding. So, "allow insurance companies to raise rates and deny coverage" + "stop giving money to states for Medicaid". Wow. So, rich people get a tax cut, and Trump - along with everyone else that hates Obama - get to say that "It's not Obamacare! Woo!" JFC

DC Murderverse posted:I saw Tommy Vietor post on Twitter that the stuff in this article is still very much true and that the journalists resigning is bullshit (not that it didn't happen, but that it shouldn't have had to happen). My guess is that somewhere down the line we'll see these guys be vindicated and get a nice job somewhere else. CNN has some individual journalists doing good work (shouts to Tapper, Cooper, Acosta and others) but Jeff Zucker is a loving pussy who fired Reza Aslan for speaking the truth on twitter and should gently caress off back to network television where he belongs. (Vietor has also been Twitter-yelling at the WHPC for rolling over while the White House cuts press access and briefings) Did he lay out exactly how it was still supported? Because that would be nice to have at hand.
