  1. They care about access to healthcare for the least among us. Federal workers know the shutdown game. The vote was nothing but grandstanding by a sick Republican majority.
  2. That include the military?
  3. Republicans want to add to the deficit and debt by giving money back to rich folk. How about letting the 0.1% pick up the tab? They’d never miss it and we’d have a healthier nation and medical costs would drop long term.
  4. According to AP wire reporting, between August and now the National debt rise $1 trillion. That’s faster than any time aside from the pandemic in history. How’s that fiscal responsibility working for all you Weasel heads (insert something else that is not breaking a rule)?
  5. It’s about messing with another country’s election process. I don’t like it when the KGB or the CIA tries it, and it’s virtually impossible to imagine a chief executive overtly doing it. Sad.
  6. Yeah, like the part where he’ll hold back the money if their election doesn’t go the way he likes. This ain’t about trade.
  7. I never saw any being held in hog pens.
  8. I read history. What are the firebombs about? Granted Ohio governor requested the Guard. Trump is making attempts to go around governors. He itching for a fire fight. We do agree on your last sentence.
  9. There was no personal physical injury , save one patriot hit by a falling crate of tea. They didn’t burn or sink the ship. Destruction of property? Yes, but I don’t call it a violent protest. What about Kent State? That peaceful protest was the beginning of the end of the Vietnam War. The government perpetrated the violence by way of the National Guard. Something the Weasel is just dying to try.
  10. What’s your point? What good are protests, or what good are the no kings protests? I don’t know what effect No Kings will have. The right to protest peacefully is a foundational block of our Union. The Boston Tea Party comes to mind. What do you think the conservatives in England said about that one?
  11. Nice academic argument. Worker safety and fair pay? Private sector abused the fire out of their responsibilities. If the fair market is so ‘fair”, why were workers compensation and wage laws necessary? Unions would not have needed to organize were workers not abused mercilessly. Why were product safety laws needed? The invisible hand places profit above all else. If mankind was altruistic, that might work. But we’re not.
  12. That includes air traffic controllers? The military? Your statement is blanket. Zero sum. All or nothing. Civil service has a place in civil societies.
  13. The next polio or smallpox is out there lurking. That’s why we need the CDC. It was fine until the Weasel politicized (weaponized) it. We proceed at our peril without it.
  14. Kash Patel. Enough said.
  15. How did he do it? He takes credit for all kinds of things whether he know anything about it or not. It won’t wind up as it seems. He’s a weasel.
  16. So was the Donner party.
  17. Whole lot of credibility there.
  18. Clinton is not a narcissist. He’s a philanderer.
  19. WINNING!
  20. watch what happens when it gets snatched all away from them…
  21. That’s all well and good. What if he pardons P-Diddy? You cool with that too?
  22. Single payer system. Like the rest of the industrialized world.
  23. The real problem is that healthcare is unaffordable. If we’re spending over 15% of GDP for mediocre results the system is broken, not the funding mechanism. Illegals get healthcare at the fetid corrals they are penned in at the border. They don’t qualify for Medicaid. FIX IMMIGRATION.
  24. Let the Virginia voters decide. It was a stupid thing to do, but last I checked it’s still legal to say stupid stuff.
  25. I didn’t mean splits. I meant reinvesting dividends.
