I have definitely known and worked with people who considered Christianity to be their "Get out of morality free" card. They're free to lie, cheat, backstab, and swindle without the slightest guilt because they could just pray and all was forgiven, no apology to their victims needed. I know not all religious people are like this, but there's definitely quite a few who are. I wouldn't trust anyone who brings up their faith during a business transaction.

That said, the kids who get sent out there to die deserve nothing but the best from our society Having Donald Trump even at the ceremony today is kind of offensive, because every action he's taken in his life makes it clear that if given the choice between giving an order that would save twenty American lives or giving an order that would put twenty bucks in his pocket instead, he's going to pick option "B" in a heartbeat, and be angry that you wasted his precious time to ask.

Reports of Trump being "too articulate" feel exactly the same as the stories of Kim Kong Il playing his first game of golf and coming in 38 under par. They're bullshit on such a grand level that no sane person could ever believe it, but said completely straight-faced as if we are expected to... And somehow, some people will believe it because their minds have been broken

Is obstruction of justice, even with undeniable proof, even a problem? Is there any mechanism for making that actually matter that won't end in all three Republican-dominated branches of our government coming together in an unanimous "LOL, we don't care, red team means he can do as he pleases." I don't mean this in a "nothing matters" way, I'm just unclear about who has the power to make this sort of thing matter in a direct way.

Trump compulsively tweets about every single thing that seems important to him at any point during his day. If he likes a piece of cake he had at lunch, he's going to tweet about ut. Today the wife and child he's been apart from for five months moved in with him, literally bringing his family back together... but that doesn't seem to have been a tweet-worthy occasion for Donald.

They're going to try to twist this to an advantage, and the fuckers will probably succeed because that's their superpower, but it'll at least take some effort.

The narrative that really needs to come out of this that we have one party who wants to make it easier and realistically affordable for people to get mental health care before they start shooting or stabbing people, and one party that wants to make it much harder or unaffordable. The latter is fighting hard to make things even worse on that front right now.

It's not a question of less guns equalling less gun violence, because obviously the answer is yes. It's a question of whether you could ever actually DO that, and in the USA, that's a massive no. We respond to school shootings by saying we need MORE guns, we are not a rational people. Robot Hobo fucked around with this message at 00:02 on Jun 15, 2017 |

Thing is, at about this same point in Obama's first term, picking the elitist Dijon mustard rather than plain yellow mustard was the best they could do in their scramble to find any kind of scandal. Obama had also said he would go to the store to get arugula, which sounds fancy and elitist (it's a super common salad green), and that gave Fox News a solid week of pretending that was a scandal. So, you see, both sides do scandalous things. Robot Hobo fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jun 19, 2017 |

Lote posted:Who will people blame when their insurance premiums go up? It's going to be Congress and Trump. They can try to blame Obama but that is going to be less effective the longer that Trumpcare is in place. The effects of repealing ACA will likely be delayed so that the full damage doesn't kick in for a couple years. If Trump (or Pence, or whoever) wins re-election in 2020, then none of it mattered anyway. But if a Democrat unseats Trump in 2020, the country's healthcare will be starting to seriously fall apart and begin leaving bankrupted corpses all over the country just in time for Republicans to blame it all on the Democrat who just took office. It won't make any sense to anyone who bothers to do the math, but that won't be an issue, because somehow that trick ALWAYS works for them. The plan will be to ride that story into retaking a third of the government in 2022, and the final third again in 2024. (I'm just assuming the Judicial branch will already be turbo-hosed for a few decades)

I've always assumed that the fight against single payer and covering preexisting conditions was (in addition to the obvious profitability) an intentional design to keep the working class in line. When the only reasonable way to get healthcare for yourself and your family is to take a lovely job that provides it, you'll take the lovely job. Once you have coverage through that job, anything you go to the doctor for essentially becomes blackmail material, because pretty much any of it constitutes a pre-existing condition now. If you lose that job, that's it. Not only is your healthcare gone (unless you can pay it entirely out of pocket) but now you may never be able to get it back, from any provider. Even if you get a new job immediately, they tend not to begin offering coverage until 90 days after hiring, which means you weren't covered for a while and your preexisting conditions now count against you. That's a deviously effective way to keep workers scared and compliant. It means any plan other than taking AND KEEPING a job forever with an employer that provides coverage is wildly irresponsible... Even worse if you have a family to care for. Want to quit and find a higher paying job? Go for it, but that medication you need won't be covered anymore. Can you afford that? Want to quit and start your own business? Go of for it... Gee, I hope your kid's minor health issue never gets any worse. Is your boss abusing you, harassing, or doing shady poo poo? You could fight back, but if things don't go your way, say goodbye to that insulin you need. Hey, they just cut your pay at work again to pay for the boss' new yacht. You could complain, maybe try to unionize... but that would likely just lead to them replacing you. Congrats, your Wife's cancer treatments just came to a sudden end, and you've effectively killed her. Welp, you know the saying, "The squeaky wheel gets to raise uninsured motherless kids alone."
