Its amazing that 1982 predicted what happens when teachers bring guns, but I guess films like these is where the right drew inspiration for their ideas.

6% in the "right" states here or there can make all the difference. It may well have in WI and MI in 2016. It may have in FL in 2000. We'll never know. But I hope this tweet doesn't mean they're saying such a run doesn't have the potential to gently caress everything up in 2020 because it most definitely does.

So there's this real problem with preventive medicine where the preventive procedure is no cost, but the procedure to fix the problem found isn't. The particular problem I'm facing right now is colonoscopy. The doctor finds a polyp, they're going to remove it because why the hell would you not remove it? The preventive procedure worked!

Except we now have a member told they're going in for a free preventive care procedure and now it's not free at all.

So you tell them, "hey, by the way, if you have polyps you're going to have a deductible." Great, another obstacle/excuse for a guy who doesn't want the doctor to touch his butt.

Anyway my point here is that Trump has the dumbest take on a real problem.

From what I'm seeing through a quick perusal (because gently caress reading a hundred tweets, c'mon), I think she's trying to make the point that we already know more than enough about all this stuff to take action now-- everything she's saying seems to be publicly known things, indictments, quotes, etc.

Edit: Ilhan Omar liked my comment on one of her Tweets. What is this warm pleasant feeling in my cold, dark heart?

I started reading this without skimming down to see that it was Trump. For the first two paragraphs it sounded like a reasonably coherent, if naive, rundown of the situation; like, uh, no you do absolutely get a line-item invoice for your medical procedures, the problem is that everything has two or three more zeroes on it than you a normal human being can deal with. And you usually don't find out about any of them up-front or have a choice as to whether you get them or not.

I got to "You don't do that with the medical" and went waaaiiiitasec... oh right, :sad:

And then I read the third paragraph and holy fuckin lol

There's no special access here, she's just speculating based on what we already know. Which is... fine. It's kind of an expectations management game. The argument here is basically that we have enough so don't worry about the final report, because no matter what it's enough. That's objectively not true, though, because the only criteria for it being "enough" is if action is being taken, and right now action isn't being taken by Congress.

YouTube to curb recommending conspiracy videos

Video network YouTube responded to critics who have long called on the Google company to clean up its recommendation engine and not offer conspiracy videos in suggested plays.

In a blog post posted Friday, YouTube said it will begin to reduce recommending "Borderline content and content that could misinform users in harmful ways - such as videos promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, claiming the earth is flat, or making blatantly false claims about historic events like 9/11.".

Who knows, Trump is Trump... but generally when you lose a demographic, they stay lost unless the party makes a conscious sustained effort to re-obtain their votes. I think we'll know in 2022* whether the suburbs will stay blue and not a day before.

A lot of the suburbs are being filled with younger people and immigrants that work in the city. Plus, the VA Dem machine has some serious boots on the ground and that is driving turnout in a major way. 2017 was remarkable because the Democrats came to play and didn't just half-rear end their ground game. Also, the grassroots groundswell was something to behold. I was up until 5AM just glued to the coverage.

2017 was a huge bellweather and 2018 showed that Richmond isn't safe for the Republicans either as more and more millennials move there. The Democrats have the GOP on the ropes and 2019 will determine if we land a killing blow.

He responded: "You know, I think I'm right down the middle."

Obviously he had no real intention of running, which makes Mr. poo poo Coffee's statement even more laughable.

THe market is having a rough day. While it is folly to try to determine a single cause, I did get this email from the Whitehouse this morning.

quote:

Thanks to President Trump, China's Economy Is Rapidly Decelerating

“President Trump is exposing China’s economic vulnerability, showing that the communist nation cannot maintain its rapid growth without it patently unfair mercantilist trade policies,” former executive Andy Puzder writes in Fox News.

“For the first time in decades, the U.S. has openly challenged Beijing’s aggressive trade manipulations, slapping targeted counter-tariffs on Chinese goods and pressuring the Communist regime to change its protectionist policies. So far, the strategy has been remarkably successful, forcing Beijing to lower its tariffs on U.S. automobile manufacturers by 25 percent while continuing to negotiate with the White House on a potential trade deal.”

Wasn't China's economy rapidly decelerating before Trump even started his dumb trade war?

Edit: iirc correctly they had to increase the stranglehold on their currency because of the crash in their markets. Then everyone started hiding their money in Canadian real estate to protect it from devaluing.
