I buy what Frum is selling here. I think the Republican party he hypothesizes could win a lot of votes. Hell, even mine if the left radicalizes. The vast majority of Americans don't want the country torn in half. Appealing to our desire for peace, stability, and tolerance will work once most Americans realize that the cost of furthering the political divide means the end of America.

The Dems could win with something like this: "No More Lies!"

Having a three syllable chant would help them, too. I hate myself for typing that, but it's true.

Also, we totally need it well intact for maximum destruction when the rapture hits.

Okay, but, what about when you said this: Oh, right, you aren't aware that your position is internally inconsistent. Carry on.

I really love the preposterous notion that world class cities like NYC are expensive because they're filled with socialists voting against their own interests. Seldom do we see such an impressive combination of cognitive dissonance and projection. See, it's hilarious enough seeing idiot Trumpkins in rural America guessing at what life is like in wealthier spots like NYC, Scandanavia, etc., and then assuming that the quality of life there must be poor -- because, of course, they're more "socialist" in those places, and obviously every meat-eating, red-blooded American knows that socialism can't work, right? But when you add in the fact that the Trumpkins are actually the ones voting against their own interests, it puts it over the top. Please, keep going y'all, this is great.

Oh, EMAWesome is back. Wonder where Chrispy is. Fun times.

And the birth certificate is tied to a string that's attached to his ass, so that when you pull that birth certificate out, Obamabear says "There isn't a Red America and a Blue America, there's a United States of America!"

"Intolerable" applies far more to conservatives these days than "intolerant" applies to liberals.

Your ability to bury your head in the sand and proudly believe something completely idiotic is impressive. You should consider a career in the GOP.

I don't want families earning $50,000 per year to go back to choosing between $600/mo premiums or racking up more debt, even if that $600 is less than what the premiums would be without pre-existing coverage. In this case, we're better off talking about the outcomes we want to see rather than the means. Most people want heathcare to be cheaper, better, and available to more people. The insurance business model exerts minimal pressure on cost, at the expense of harming quality and making health care exclusive to those who can fork over the money for premiums and patient portions. It frankly sucks for health care. There was a good intention behind ACA's mandate -- if we force everyone to buy in to the system, but use tax credits to ensure everyone can afford it, everyone ends up paying the least amount necessary to cover everybody. This doesn't have to be a zero sum game, though. I think we can increase health care quality while simultaneously expanding coverage and reducing cost, if our politicians actually solved problems instead of leveraging the present dissatisfaction to galvanize voters.

Here's how I'd fix health care in the US: Get rid of ACA and force people to get health insurance through their workplace again Make sure small businesses can once again never afford to offer health care, funneling the labor force to larger corporations Subsidize farming heavily so that even the poorest Americans have access to cheap, empty calories. Conversely, make sure healthy food is really expensive Once most Americans are overweight and have adult-onset diabetes, turn doctors into pushers for their expensive pharmaceuticals that manage those conditions Lock down our borders and make sure Americans can't bring back affordable medicine from Canada or Mexico Cut Medicare and Medicaid in order to transfer wealth from the poor and elderly over to the wealthy Republicans, cross check me on this -- do I have it right? Am I missing anything? Wait, I am! We need a little help from the left in order to completely fuck over Americans... 7. Start accusing anyone actually addressing our obesity crisis of body shaming Yep, now we're fucked real good.

Smart kids usually aren't sure enough of themselves to really buy into any political ideology. Dumb kids have a lot of dumb shit competing for their attention.

Today's performance was special, but if he starts hitting his receivers in stride consistently on intermediate routes, he'll be on another level.

That's a lot of angry democrats, @Hugo Stiglitz

GOP leaders to women: we can rape you with impunity, and we can decide whether or not you are forced to carry the baby to term. GOP rank and file: this is what God wants. Yep, stick a fork in the Great Experiment, it's done.

Why did you post this? Did you think it was funny or something?

Either that or there must be something different between you and Brisket that impacts their likelihood to confide in you about it.

This is really not solid reasoning. It's horseshit conjecture that fits your biases.

On an abstract level, the mentally retarded verbal purse fighting is such a depressingly predictable backdrop to an issue that's so clearly rooted in the power dynamics between men and women.

This is the kind of shit that the ignore feature is meant for. Such bitchassedness.

I couldn't remember if Trump outwardly expressed any support for Comey then, but, yeah, that's why the quote stuck out to me.

True, but since the intent of firing Comey was to interfere with the investigation, he would have had no motive. Comey reopening the HRC investigation contributed strongly to Trump's victory, too.

Wow:

There's nothing beautiful about this situation, regardless of the outcome. The dopamine hit gained today by watching an opponent's political failure won't be much consolation in the future as the stability and prosperity of our country continues to fade away.
