I think that’s something we all agree on here (although governator isn’t happy about how that happens.

I am concern about M4A, no hiding about it. People like me has invested (in my case) 14 yrs of post H.S. Education and hundreds of thousand of $ in debt to start my medical career and to think that suddenly your income would be slashed while at the same time your taxes would go up, when I’ve put blood and sweat into my career, people can make fun of me/mock me all they want, I would voice my concern. (bleep), it wasn’t given to me even if you don’t think I’ve earned it.
Why do you think DMR is also concern about losing his union medical benefit that he has also earned? U gonna mock him too?

You certainly have not been too busy to make about 20 useless posts this morning.


Will Trump Be Meeting With His Counterpart — Or His Handler?

There you go.


Don't have time for more Trump.. but I will try to read this one.. whew.

Reminds me how when I was in University I realized America was like a rapehouse for wealthy Fratboys and Elite families *this was back when Enron was laughing about people dying in faked Brownouts... All this wealth yet all this moral poverty... How is it possible and why?

I always ask the Trumpsters why Trump has met with Putin and Putin only IN SECRET every time they are near?? 5-6 times now iirc
Trump Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Meeting in Private with Putin

Actual workers are caught in the middle.. No medical professional appreciates the cost of care...


This is like the teachers vs administrators cops/jails/prisons vs money invested in schools and communities

Medical Care Administration is filled with people aiding and abetting criminals who overcharge and intentionally cause hell in peoples lives while they are trying to survive whatever the condition that now cost them every cent of their ability to earn.. Earn or Die

Schools are upside down also.. teaching kids to be booksmart and not life smart.. Truly understanding it.. No junk food no alcohol abuse no credit card debt .. learning to always keep community and never feel so alone you want to die etc etc..

Junk food, alcohol abuse, and credit card debt are how you enjoy life, though.

Reminder: there are a number of leftist pundits who will (correctly) lambaste bad conservative and centrist opinion writers even though they themselves are terrible (bleep) writers and thinkers. These terrible leftist opinion writers will continue to grow in number and become more mainstream. They suck. Just like Bret Stephens sucks.

Heard a analogy on primary Democratic turnout that caught my ear. Sam Seder said. There may be many Democrats that don't vote in the primary who're saying they'll vote for whoever the nominee is. I voted Biden but believe that analogy holds water.

Let’s hope so but I don’t see those ‘late comer’ Democrats coming out for Bernie (maybe they will for Biden), the same way I don’t see hardcore Bernie bro’s coming out for whoever not named Bernie.

I agree. I think in an election like this, people are either engaged or they aren't. The number of people who skip the Primary but show up in November is going to be small enough that it will be effectively insignificant.

I hope you're wrong. I believe Trump will be the incentive for Democrats to go to the polls even Bernie Bros.

Bernie Staffer Mocked Warren’s Looks, Pete’s Sexuality on Private Twitter Account

Quote:
During the most recent presidential primary debate in Las Vegas, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) suggested that critiques of some of his most antagonistic online supporters are largely unfounded and unfair, proposing that some of the worst offenders might actually be Russian trolls on a mission to sow disunity in the field.

But the private Twitter account of a newly promoted campaign staffer indicates that despite his condemnation of online harassment, at least some of the Vermont senator’s most toxic support is coming from inside the house.

Using the account @perma_ben, Ben Mora, a regional field director for Sanders’ campaign based in Michigan, has attacked other Democrats in the field—as well as their family members, surrogates, journalists, and politically active celebrities—in deeply personal terms, mocking their physical appearance, gender, and sexuality, among other things.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mora has tweeted, “looks like her name: pained, chunky, [and] confused origin/purpose.” Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg “is what happens when the therapist botches the conversion,” and his husband, Chasten, Mora predicts, will be “busted for running a meth racket” in 10 years. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a frequent subject of Mora’s private account, is called a “dumb Okie,” “an adult diaper fetishist” who “looks like (bleep)” and who lied about having Native American ancestry “to get into Harvard.”

Hardly surprising. And another reason I never bought Bernie's "who me?" schtick when called on questionable behavior by his staff.

You may be surprised to find out that Bernie supporters are attacking the author of this article, Scott Bixby, en masse. Apparently Mr. Bixby is a journalist with wealthy parents unlike...1% of all journalists living in NYC.
