  1. Gingrich and McConnell should be spat on everywhere they go, just so almost impressively responsible for how fucked our electoral politics are.
  2. Yep, raise my taxes and take away the almost thousand dollars I pay every month in premiums, it's going to even out and I would (hope) that all this in-network/out-of-network or apparently getting fucked because you called an emergency service when you fainted. https://khn.org/news/bill-of-the-month-man-faints-after-flu-shot-gets-stuck-with-4700-hospital-bill/
  3. Love having my employer based insurance that changes every year or even fucks you over because an out-of-network doctor treated you in an in-network hospital. Can't wait for that to continue to be the norm because apparently paying a premium every month isn't a tax.
  4. @Steel Shank
  5. We've both talked about this before given our background, but the bootcamps have absolutely proven you don't need a degree to have a career in tech, especially when the unemployment rate is 3.6%.
  6. I feel like some of them have bought into the "they're all snowflakes that need safe-spaces" BS and am guessing a lot of supposed resentment stems from that.
  7. Why do Gen-X hate millennials?
  8. ❤️ Eli so much. Wonder how long it takes for someone to seriously call him an anti-semite again hahaha.
  9. Nothing but respect for my T-1000 Freeze.
  10. Markakis and Riley homering in the 8th, it's uncanny how clutch this team is after the 7th inning. Remember those Mike Minor, Tim Hudson, and Tommy Hanson (RIP) years where they pitched beautifully only for our them to lose the game 2-3 or 3-4? Since last year it's been so damn refreshing to see this team get hits when they needed to. The pitching still needs work, but god damn do these guys know how to scrap for a win.
  11. Republicans pushing through an actual poll tax in Florida in 2019 is unsurprising but one of the most infuriating things I've seen thus far. Again I invite anyone to show me this party doesn't outright suppress voting.
  12. And you know, destabilizing the region for the past 100.
  13. Holy shit, yes all these women have gone on record publicly just because they like getting death threats from people you cape for.
  14. I'm sorry, how on earth is giving this admin more money going to improve the lives of these children which we agree is what Americans want? This is the argument, you're acting as if getting this bill across accomplished anything good in comparison to the bill that the majority of the House introduced earlier. You keep ignoring that last part, a better bill was introduced and of course McConnell didn't bring it up for a vote and instead rammed some watered down piece of shit because Pelosi got "promises" from Pence that he for sure will super-duper tell us when children die now. GTFO with this logic, AOC, Talib, Omar aren't causing people to suddenly prefer voting for Republicans now. Where are you even getting this data? Are you even paying attention to how so many people under 50 are trying to push the party left? Who is the biggest group of voters for this upcoming election? https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/05/29/gen-z-millennials-and-gen-x-outvoted-older-generations-in-2018-midterms/
  15. Also this sounds like the exact reason why people think Biden the nominee, he doesn't scare off this supposed huge voting bloc of moderates that apparently change their votes on a whim. Districts are flipping because of engagement but also because of changing demographics, I was part of one in GA-06 and that district is likely not going to flip back as long as people are moving to the Atlanta metro. The suburban republicans are not gaining numbers. Cool, glad those members have to eat shit and instead of doing what they feel like is their duty, to push for change that they think is just. Perhaps it's time to stop acting as if every single norm of American political procedure has to be abided by, a bunch of "flippable" districts aren't going to flip back to the GOP in 2020 because an extra 24 hours of debate was asked for by, again, a large bloc of voting members.
  16. Good lord, one day is what people asked, just one day. That is what this is about, not some made up reason about the progressive caucus needing an absolutely perfect bill, just any time to debate the language in a bill that wasn't the one the majority of the House wanted earlier that the Senate didn't take up.
  17. So there was literally no way they could have pushed voting back at least 24 hours to negotiate the language in the bill? I heard interviews with multiple congress members who voted No that said they asked her to do so instead of just trying to GTFO as quickly as possible.
  18. Cool man, keep fucking that chicken and digging your heels in the sand while saying "change isn't possible." If you can't see that she's getting more and more pushback then you're being willfully ignorant. She's also agreed that she wouldn't have the Speaker role for more than 4 years so hopefully it will be a moot point.
  19. 95 Dems objected to the bill passed, this isn't a handful of people who are sick of her dude.
