I can clarify, in excruciating detail, why single-payer is a bad idea, but that would be really boring for everyone, and maybe painful for you.

But I won't bother because you've clearly made up your mind.

Let's stay focused on ways we might actually or imaginarily (I think that's a made-up word) take down the creature occupying the White House. More important things unite us than divide us
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

actually i think people would be interested in an opposite side to single payer given how many people here are for it.

Frum had it right a few weeks back, I think -- the Democrats should be campaigning to lower the Medicare age to 50.

NFIP re-authorization will be interesting
maybe some rare bi-partisanship and actual insurance reform

@momadance; perhaps i'm misreading it?

ROFLOL at the tape threat

this is only going to get him in bigger trouble
if tapes exist, then they'll subpeona them all ala Watergate
if they don't (more likely as he lies all the time) then he he gets caught up in another "Obama wiretapped me" scenario

Its more Trolling. Look Watergate, which he crowed about at length during his run, he is making real to his administration, and if you are too dumb to get it then he will exhume Richard Nixon's corpse. Seriously.

Now back to those approval numbers, please explain how the hell that happens.

Luckily, I haven't had to deal with flood insurance. I rent in Brigantine, the house I own off shore doesn't need flood insurance, and where we are moving also does not need flood insurance.

I'm often struck by the thought that a man with the temperament of a child is now running our country, but even Kid Nation had a more competent government than this.

I'd love to watch the arguments against it

And it taps into the real issue a lot of the Trump voters had with Obamacare: not that the government is the devil but that their neighbor had a cheaper and better plan

James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!


I assume he put "tapes" in quotes because he's going to try to fabricate some recordings.
How dare you interrupt my Lime Rickey!

wait, is this true? I thought the latest 'official' word is there is no investigation (this account puts this at 10:30AM Monday):

• He said it under oath. Mr. Comey’s agency is investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia, and will pursue it “no matter how long that takes.” We talk with Matt Apuzzo, who covers the F.B.I. for The New York Times and was watching Monday’s hearings.
