Smart, sardonic, and a little bit rude. Refugee from the law. Eclectic musical tastes. Member of the pissed off, sick of your shit, street fighting left.

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"

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.

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.

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"?

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.
