lozzle posted:It's still weird to me that a significant chunk of Indiana essentially believes "man this Mike Pence guy sure does suck. Better put him one heartbeat away from the Presidency!" No it pre-dated all that and was more "please stop being our governor you embarrassing sack of poo poo" That he latched on to the Donald and set himself up for political suicide was beyond our wildest dreams. Especially if the lame candidate the Dems were going to run to lose against Pence can actually pull out a win against Holcomb.

PT6A posted:Why does Obama's half brother think the President owes "the Kenyan side of his family" jack poo poo? It'd be one thing if they were actually a significant part of his life at any time (he still wouldn't owe them anything, mind you, nor should he treat them specially as a result) but they evidently were not. I would assume the reason is that the Luo, like many of the patrilineal and patriarchal (as opposed to the matrilineal and egalitarian ones, like the Igbo or !Kung San) traditional African societies places a great emphasis on filial and familial duty and loyalty. By not helping his paternal family more, Obama has sort of betrayed that expectation. Also, the eldest son is the main inheritor and thus, as his brother said, becomes family head upon the father's death. Thus Obama not helping the family more is also a bit of an insult to Abon'go Malik himself, as much as to the Obama family as a unit. In other words it's not stupidity, but cultural values that differ A LOT between those of the mainstream in the United States and the Luo.

galenanorth posted:I was thinking again about that Scott Adams tweet a few pages back. He's setting it up so that if another terrorist attack happens, he can gloat that Obama's policies (and thus Clinton's) are weak on national security, and if another attack doesn't happen, that his argument has been validated. When he's been talking up Trump's persuasion skills, he often points out Trump tries creating these "heads I win, tails you lose" situations. By saying that NATO allies do not supply enough troops and funding, he can claim it is because of his threats if there is ever an increase in troops and funding. Why would he put thought into what he says? He's long since bought into his own hype and considers the world to function like his strip: he's the brilliant manipulator Dogbert and the average voter is one of the many brainless fools who need his eye for success or are trying vainly to bring him down out of jealousy. When you convince yourself you are the greatest mind around, having to actually learn things or simply not being qualified to speak on a matter is inconceivable. So he's basically the Pointy Haired Boss, only with added Men's Rights flavor and even less awareness of his limitations. Islam is the Lite Rock FM posted:It's double funny since the gop definitely gives gently caress all fucks about other cultures and no one would care if they didn't bring him up. Of course they don't, but he doesn't care. This is just his way to take revenge on his brother. If he's aware of how he's being used, he doe not seem to care that much. Africans tend not to have much kinship with African Americans, so the GoOP's horrible treatment of anyone with out skin color is less of a warning sign to them. Especially when good old petty family spite/jealousy is the motivation. Geostomp fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Oct 26, 2016 |

Can somebody clarify something real quick like for me? I know one of the main features of the elusive Republican Obamacare replacement plan is to allow people to buy across state lines. But can't you already do that? The only thing is that Obamacare has done is that it provided minimum standards for all 50 states. So I thought you could still buy a different state's plan, but that it would just be subjected to Obamacare regulations. What I figured was that Republicans wanted to get rid of those regulations entirely, but you can still currently buy an out of state plan. Is that not the case?

This is a pretty good analysis. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/09/01/upshot/the-problem-with-gop-plans-to-sell-health-insurance-across-state-lines.html Edit: the short version is that currently it's up to the states whether they allow this or not, and it's not effective where it's allowed. The major sticking point is differences in medical regulations between states. The GOP proposal is to let insurance companies choose which state's regulations they want to follow. So yeah it's a big old distraction considering that the GOP controlled states could have implemented this at any point. Fangz fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Oct 26, 2016 |

In the wake of the 2012 election, I remember reading an article about undecided voters which came to the conclusion that true undecideds are by and large a myth and that most people in said category either don't vote at all or already decided on a candiate, but are reluctant to admit it. I wanted to link that article to a friend, but I sadly can't find it now. Does anyone in here know which one I'm talking about?

Mr Interweb posted:Right, that I get. But can you currently buy plans across state lines? It might seem like it because you can get insurance from "Blue Cross Blue Shield" or "Aetna" but not really. Anyone selling the insurance to a resident of the state is subject to that state's regulatory body, and each state has different requirements for things like agent registration or dispute procedures. So similar to the car insurance market what happens is that the major providers just establish local subsidiaries - BCBS of Texas, Aetna of Virginia, etc - and have agreements between all the subsidiaries to make it appear seamless. If you were to call the subsidiary in a different state asking to buy coverage they wouldn't sell it to you. Instead they would just transfer you to your current state's subsidiary. I have a "nationwide" plan, but have to update my address and get new cards whenever I move to a different state. The only thing that changes is the mailing address on the back.
