It is not socialism. Roads are not socialism, paying for people’s healthcare out of taxes is not socialism. Fire departments aren’t socialism. The military isn’t socialism. Socialism is when the public or the government owns the means of production and distribution.

Let us say, and why not, that I wanted to defraud the ACA public market. Would I do it by creating a dummy enrollee account, paying for coverage, and never making a claim of any kind? Who gains? In what fairy tale does this scheme make me any profit? It's good old ODS, nothing more.
Dr Oz says the Trump administration will kick more than a million people off health insurance because some of them have "never filed a claim"
Trump administration are literally the dumbest people on earth.
Completely reasonable demand…. ⚠️BREAKING: Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until Trump and Netanyahu are removed from power
Say, I wonder what John Ratcliffe and Putin recently chatted about 🤔
Actually following progressive principles consistently should lead you to liberal Zionism, the two-state solution, recognition of Israel as a fully legitimate state like any other. And like any other state, you can then condemn any crimes by its leaders, without calling to wipe it off the map.
LOL Xitter is insisting I download their app and give them my phone number (no, fuck you) and all I did was post that an outright Nazi doesn't violate their rules - probably because the Elongated Muskrat agrees with him.
August 25, 2015: The first time Trump threw a reporter out of a press conference should've been the last time Everyone in that room should've walked out with Jorge Ramos from & refused to cover Trump's campaign after that www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0W2...

It's almost as if they are targeting those who have demonstrated that people of all races and creeds can live together in something like harmony. It's like they're against that fact more than they are against, ya know, crime.
Thinking of Dolly Parton and politics I can only borrow from Abraham Lincoln’s comments on god: “I don’t know if Dolly is on my side, my greatest concern is if I’m on Dolly’s side.”
Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. Look, if I was the Democratic nominee for Speaker of the House, I sure as fuck wouldn't be taking a secret meeting with Jared Fucking Kushner.
Narcissists often try to destroy that which they cannot control.
One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.
God keeps taking the wrong 80-year-olds from us.
There needs to be repercussions for the DOJ lawyers who lie in court and defy judges’ rulings.
Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached. This video was deleted twice from twitter, you know what to do !
The connections that MAGA make are sometimes quite revealing. Now RNC Research is effectively saying Trump raped children. bsky.app/profile/xitt...
Jon Ossoff just said three words, "travel with Natalie." The whole R outrage machine then proceeded to say what was at the top of their minds, imputing all the nastiness *they* believe to Ossoff. Didn't they learn anything from two generations of joking about Nixon saying "I am not a crook"?
Dodgers are 5-10 after meeting with the POS. Everything he touches dies.
If they actually caught 50, that means at least 5,000 are doing it right now and getting away with it.
At least 50 officers nationwide have been charged with or accused of misusing Flock cameras, to stalk exes, check abortion clinic visits, create pretext to search cars. Almost every case was caught by accident. Most departments do not require audits. What isn't caught is unknown.
There have been more instances of police officers using Flock cameras to stalk women than there are trans women playing sport in the USA. In case you were wondering about the "protect our girls" crowd.
