    And to show how well they researched this, Comey and McCabe lost their clearances when they were fired.

     

    I feel like once upon a time every piece of info given out from a White House spokesperson was vetted and cleared through multiple levels before making its way to the public.  I guess we can't expect that sort of thing from this administration.

    There's nothing super left about the Medicare for All program, so I'm not sure how that's tea partying themselves. Shaking up their base to align with what a majority of the American population wants anyway (something like 60%+ want Medicare for All) is a good thing.

     

    I don’t oppose it, healthcare is a shit show.  I just don’t think America is going to get onboard single payer and the republicans won’t have any problem selling it as that.

    I agree that the cartoon and things like it (portraying someone as gay to make them look weak) are homophobic. But are all things related to sex (with the implication between men) homophobic, if used to insult someone? Like my aforementioned examples "He really took it up the ass on that one" or "wow, he got fucked"?  

     

    I don't think the joke is the fact that they're both men, it's that Trump melts like butter when Putin is around and rarely says anything negative without first shitting on the country he decided to lead.  I mean shit he thought Russia assisting in the investigation that Russia interfered in American elections was a great offer.

  4. My company raised its minimum wage to $15 an hour this month.  The factory my brother works for refuses to start people above $14 an hour and he says they have meetings where management complains that people out there are deadbeats because they won't work a shitty hard labor job for $14 an hour.

     

    Good news is I'm the belle of the ball on LinkedIn, bad news is no one wants to pay me more than I'm making.

  5. The game is a make your own fun kind of thing.  It's a big universe without much in the way of guidance.  Go to resource extraction sites in the rings of planets, I'd keep out of hazardous ones until you get a decent ship, only attack ships with a wanted tag, space cops will engage too and help out, don't shoot them.  It's a decent way to make money to start and get used to the fighting.

    Because let's assume that there is something actually wrong with you -- something that you won't know about UNLESS you get a preventative checkup -- then the cost of treating that condition is invariably more than if it's caught early through a preventative checkup.  At that point, the costs of treatment that you or the insurance company do not pay for are distributed through the risk pool to everyone else.

     

    Also I think wellness visits being covered at 100% once a year is one of the last pieces of Obamacare still standing

    The fall-in-line mentality of 95% of Republicans is almost cult-like. There’s nothing inherently wrong with conservatism, but something has certainly become “wrong” within the GOP - it’s been brewing for years, but lately it’s boiled over.

    But they vote, they manage to rally around candidates and causes, as shitty as they may be and then vote them in to office.  The Democrats have a much harder time lately finding someone their people can get behind and their message is just "do you see the shit Trump is doing?", which doesn't seem to be enough.
