    Why?

    This modern GOP is legitimately a bigger threat to the prosperity of our country than any terrorist organization. It's fucking depressing.

    This is correct. And I have moms on the right in my fb feed supporting it.  

    Everything they accused Obama of doing (Jade Helm!  Wal-Mart prisons! Tan suits!), Trump is doing, and it's all good.  

    There will be no Great Awakening to authoritarianism on the right, without some great cataclysm.  Hopefully it isn't like Germany or Japan's.  But I can't dismiss it.  

    The GOP may eventually change, but the people who are okay with what is going on now will never admit they are wrong. These people are a lost cause to try and convince and are better off shunned.

    Well, that asshole is a basketball player.  He isn't representative of all people.  Everyone has twitter.  And even he understands that "free" is tax and spend, and that doctors aren't going to be volunteers.  So it isn't actually free, especially for a guy making 5 million a year or whatever he makes.

    What he and everyone else means is that both costs and payments will flow through taxation.  Many who say "free" even expect there to be a premium of some sort.  Others expect a tax line item like Medicare or SS.

    The principled libertarian lawyer cannot wrap his mind around people using words in ways that don't fit an exact dictionary definition. Perhaps JR should use something else, but to suggest that he actually thinks healthcare could somehow be performed at 0 percent cost to him is, again, a disingenuous argument.

    I'm not really attacking government-sponsored healthcare, I'm attacking the notion that it's free.  The young Bernsters were very excited about "free" this and "free" that, rarely acknowledging that it isn't free and that the tuition payments and book costs that bother them so much, and the healthcare bills that they mostly don't have, could be reflected in less take-home pay, another thing that they don't generally have, but would bitch about if they did.

    Is your conclusion that anyone young who wants nationalized healthcare thinks it's 100% free? Care to back this up with some actual data?

    Yeah, I think there are a lot of people that do.  Same ones that like free college for everyone.  Commonly, they're young and haven't had many paychecks and haven't paid a whole lot of taxes.

     

    Paying quarterly taxes in addition to withholding, and having to write a check to the IRS every year (and the local property tax authorities), kind of changes your perspective on "free shit."   I'm not saying it should rule out any such programs, but there is a consistent failure on the part of the electorate to consider what things cost.

    Give me a break, you're making a disingenuous point to attack "free healthcare". Sure, there are probably more than zero people who think it's truly "free" but that number is relatively small compared to those of us who advocate for a nationalized healthcare system. There are a lot of dumb things people think, like libertarianism is truly how we should operate in a free society.

    I saw something recently in connection with Canada Day that mentioned their "Free Healthcare."  People are so fucking stupid.

    You're really upset at this? You seriously think that everyone who points to a nationalized healthcare system truly thinks it's free?

    no.... Barrack Obama and tribal politics are to blame for Trump. 

    Maxine, like Trump is a symptom of that and math. 

    The fact that Pelosi or whoever the fuck is in a "leadership" position in the Democrat isn't reigning that bitch in tells you all you need to know about why a guy like Trump is our President. 

    Lol at reigning her in, she needs to be a good black and do what her masters command her to do right? The GOP is at the height of hypocrisy now saying things need to be civil when they started this shit as soon as Obama was elected. Quit cry-titting because people are throwing it back in your face finally.

  8. @Tuco I struggle to call those people "educated." Maybe they have actual degrees, but they have very little in the way of critical thinking skills. It shouldn't have taken much thought to see how Trump kept telling lie after lie and how he, and he alone, would be the one who could fix everything. Or maybe they joined the Anastasis-like idiots because everything is equally as bad as the next thing, but even those people possess little in the way of detecting bullshit.

    Maybe I just can't wrap my head around those who believe Trump has ANY standard that would align with those who consider themselves religious.

    I can see the "He's better than Hillary even though I hate him" argument. Or maybe I just don't understand the depth that "Christians" will sink to get their agenda pushed.

    Have you been to the South? There are hordes and hordes of "religious" people (not Catholic) that seriously think any Republican candidate will be guided by God's will, even a genuinely evil human being like Trump. It's fucking disgusting and why I've come to hate religion in general.

    LOL.  

    That blue wave is going to be a red tsunami.

    Aren't you a guy who adamantly opposes police brutality and corruption? Do you really think the GOP wants to work towards solving these issues? They seem to be the least likely party to appear "soft" on crime, but you keep on fucking that chicken.
