Democrats have came a long way from, “ if you like your plan, you can keep your plan.” https://reason.com/blog/2019/01/30/kamala-harris-sanders-medicare-fail
Obamacare was planned to fail- it was a stepping stone to single payer. Corner those fucks in a bar and they'll flat admit it.
Kinda. It wasn't planed to fail, but it was accepted as flawed as yes, the idea was that every time you address a flaw you get closer to universal coverage (not necessarily single payer, which is different) It was, after all, a GOP designed plan. Of course it was flawed.
That lie got exposed a LONG time ago. At least now they're being honest on what their intentions really are.
I see James Woods is still an asshole: https://crooksandliars.com/2019/01/has-been-actor-goes-twitter-binge-misogyny
She was given a nice job after dating the mayor. The optics aren't going to look good regardless of how you spin it. Plus, she's running for President so EVERYTHING comes out and all bets are off . That's always been the life of a candidate for the highest office in the land and race/gender isn't going to change that . Deal with it.
Why should she have to "spin" it? There's never been an indication of any favors improperly sought or obtained. It's nothing but a baseless smear. Those are your optics.
Our halls of power are filled with upper-class white boys who got plum internships and early admission to Harvard because of who their daddies were. Until people get just as indignant about that as they do about Kamala Harris' boyfriend appointing her to two commissions 25 years ago, getting outraged by the latter is just a load of misogynistic crap.
Regardless of the optics, James Woods is indeed a fucking asshole for using those misogynist hashtags, and the author is correct that there's a double standard when it comes to the sexual background of male politicians.
On that point I agree .Woods was a douchebag. For some people, politics brings out the worse in them. On the charge of a double standard, were you asleep during the Clinton years? Plus I dont remember any kids gloves being used on Trump's sexual escapades. They seemed to dominate the headlines quite a bit.
It’s not mostly true, it’s half true. Most importantly it was one of many plans and it never even got a vote.
Get back to me when "mostly true" = "not true." And when Mitch McConnell dies of a stroke waiting for the EMTs to get through Beltway traffic.
To no one's surprise, Corey Booker announces. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/02/01/politics/cory-booker-announces-presidential-run-2020/index.html
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/20...20-democratic-candidate-tulsi-gabbard-n964261 Russian propagandists ramping up to support Tulsi Gabbard. Didn't @gturner have a thing for her? Now we know why.
You said "not true," which is also not the same as either "mostly true" or "half true." Make up your mind.
Half true is also a helluva sight better than anything the POTUS has said since his election campaign, yet the fuckers'll give him a pass on that. You'd think they'd be proud to own a chunk of America's first teetering steps towards a decent, fair, affordable healthcare system.
Funny how it comes on the heels of her announcement. Fake news. https://theintercept.com/2019/02/03...icating-russia-data-for-the-democratic-party/
Keep the source in mind: This is a guy who has repeatedly downplayed the significance of Russian interference and often sides with Trump against the "deep state" (you know, the people actually fulfilling their oaths to defend the country). Plus the NBC report wasn't based on a single source, but on multiple stories and segments in Russian state media.
Not a puppet, but I think many of her views are more aligned with the Kremlin than any other Democratic candidate, so they want to promote her in order to mainstream those positions.
Mainly her positions on Syria, as well as counterterrorism operations and military intervention in general.
Yanno, if you want to support a candidate, it's usually a good idea to know what that candidate stands for.
