In the United States, chickens are associated with cooperation. This is why a lot of companies will bring in trained chickens for good luck on big projects. Chicken farmers actually make a lot of money with "chicken consultants" to boost morale.

60 million people believe that ISIS was still gaining ground until January 20th. They gave credit to Trump for taking Mosul, the careful planning of which he openly mocked Obama for. The media will say this is a great foreign policy victory for Trump.

I might by neocon GWBushing but assuming right wing propaganda ever gets under control (LOL), I think he'll be seen as the guy who took us back from the brink with steady, bubble free (second LOL) growth. If Trump ever gets his plans through, we'll see like 5-6% growth for 2-3 years before we all die. His reelection depends on the bubble collapsing before or after 2020.

i feel this is why he's so defensive over ACA and so apparently invested in it being perceived as The Ultimate Healthcare Fix. It's literally all he's got, and at the same time he's not content with the idea of it being "stepping stone" legislation.

In 2009, he co-sponsored a bill requiring a physician performing an abortion to tell a woman that an ultrasound is available... In 2010, he voted to ban abortions after 20 weeks and to introduce new screening requirements. In 2011, he voted to bar the health exchanges set up under the Affordable Care Act from funding abortions; supported a ban on using telemedicine to perform abortions; and voted to change a parental-notification requirement to one requiring parental consent.

In 2012, Mello voted with Planned Parenthood on two out of three bills tracked by the group—and was excused from voting on the third. After that, Mello, who had become the influential chair of the state legislature’s budget committee, voted with Planned Parenthood 100 percent of the time. By 2015, the group was celebrating a “fourth straight year…without enacting any new abortion restrictions in Nebraska, thanks largely to committed women’s health advocates engaged in the legislative process.”

obama basically had two choices re: the ACA coming out of his term in office: either frame it as an imperfect but important stepping stone on the way to making sure no one ever dies because they couldn't afford health insurance ever again and working to that end; or conduct a hollow PR campaign to make people think it wasn't lovely as gently caress in a whole lot of respects so as to protect his legacy while accomplishing nothing for anyone else

i dont think anyone in 2017 is surprised by the path he took, because it's the only path he's ever taken.

EMAIL RECIPIENT--

It has been a joy to see so many of you during the first days of touring for "What Happened" and my new children's book, "It Takes a Village." Your smiles and stories warm my heart, and your promises to keep fighting inspire me. I'm looking forward to seeing many more of you over the next few weeks, across the country and even at home in our favorite independent bookstore in Chappaqua.

One thing I'm hearing over and over again is a question I've gotten a lot since the election: "How are you doing?"

The answer, EMAIL RECIPIENT, is that, as an American, I'm pretty concerned. But as a person, I'm okay. It's nice to be able to spend so much time at home with Bill and our dogs, and to catch up with friends I haven't seen in a while. I've even been doing a little gardening with our granddaughter -- Charlotte is particularly proud of our peas and peppers.

Last week, I had the opportunity to speak at a memorial service for Edie Windsor, whose Supreme Court case helped pave the way for marriage equality. Her service, much like her life, was a reminder that in the fight for a more perfect union, love will always be stronger than hate. I'll be thinking of Edie this week as we forge ahead in our own fight, and I hope you will, too.

Onward!

Hillary

In my opinion, it's legitimate to take issue with his record on abortion, provided that you raised exactly the same concerns about Tim Kaine's record over the same time period.

President Calvin Coolidge was known as “Silent Cal” because of his extraordinarily laconic speech. A famous anecdote tells of a dinner party during which the person sitting adjacent to the Coolidge said: “Mr. President I’ve made a large bet that I would be able to make you say more than two words.” Coolidge considered this proposition carefully and then replied slowly and emphatically, “gently caress you.”
