SInce y'all seem to be my clearinghouse for all things political, let me tell a story.  A couple of them, actually.  Three, if you want to be specific. When I was 14 I went with a family frien

It's like no one on the R side has ever been sick before.  Or known someone who was. 

Don't you know, they all just sucked it up and pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and scrimped and saved and made it happen! And so on and so forth with other tired bullshit platitudes!

Up next on the Trump Pardon list, Hank Aaron, Wilt Chamberlin, Jesse Owens, Rerun from What’s Happening, and the Peanuts character Franklin.

fucking moron.

Perhaps he and his supporters literally believe "the only good -----, is a dead -----"

I suppose that's not entirely fair given 59% of Republicans support protection.  I guess the 41% are just assholes. Which pretty much correlates with the Potus's approval rating in general.  So, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

At least 59% of Trumpkins have diabetes and hypertension, so it makes sense.

And now the administration has pre-existing conditions in its crosshairs.  Don't think about switching jobs or insurance companies in the future guys.  Keep that nose to the grindstone just where you are now.  Know your place.

According to the article even 59% of Republicans support protection for people with pre-existing conditions.  But I suspect those low level R's aren't donating enough to make their voice heard.

and of course, our dumbfuck state is at the vanguard of this effort.

How bad does Trump want to host a reality show called The Pardon, where various black folks come and grovel at his feet asking for pardons. At the end of the season he picks a winner.  

That would probably be as cringe worthy as Amon Goeth saying "I pardon you" in Schindler's List.

Everyone knows that the ban on applying pre-existing condition limitations was done as soon as the mandate was removed, right?

Right?

It seems like no one understands adverse selection.

“Hell yes insurers should have to cover my pre-existing condition but the govment ain’t got no right making folks buy insurance.”

Trump does this and he'll make 2020 competitive.  

I'm pretty sure any Dem nominee will be in support of removing the federal ban on marijuana. 

And he will walk back on this once the private prison, alcohol/tobacco, and Big Pharma groups get a hold of him.

Wait, so it's being reported on MSNBC that he wants to pardon about 3,000 more people? 

And he wants the "NFLers" to send him a list of people they thought were treated unfairly by the justice system so he can pardon them? 

What in the actual fuck is going on!?!

There is a spark of a good idea here, but of course he's fucked it up already. 

It could have been:  "Let's have a real conversation about why you feel the need to kneel.  What do you guys see as problematic with our justice system, and can my pardon powers play a role in reaching a resolution here?"

Instead its:  "So which of your black criminal buddies do you want pardoned?  Will that shut you up?"

He'll walk it back as soon as he talked to the evangelicals.  He absolutely refuses to cross them.

And if the DNC had anything resembling a collective direction or a goal they'd seize the popularity of the policy and force him to either co-opt the issue and jeopardize portions of that base or lose out entirely on the popular issue.  

I stay fairly informed, lean a bit to the left and I still have no idea what point the DNC firmly wants to communicate.  Patting yourself on the back for not being an ignorant, orange buffoon isn't moving the needle.  Kissing your partner in a political ad isn't cutting edge.  Those large swaths of red that they lost right through the middle of the country aren't interested in a debate about gender pronouns.  Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi as the sun and moon of your universe won't carry the torch.  If the goal is to turn a wave into ripple, then the current stagnation is right on point.

Trump will cave like he did on the Dreamers but if he followed through,  I think the Democrats have more to fear from the apathetic non-voter that an issue like this would create- - especially with young and minority voters.

They should focus on healthcare and income inequality. Their message should be you shouldn't go broke paying for medical bills and you shouldn't need government assistance if you have a job.

We should just get Beto to write the DNC platform:

Agree.  The reason these topics aren't blaring from cable news and being discussed daily on the front page of dialogue is because the DNC has seized nothing in the form of owning a single issue.  Trump is going to drop his pants twice a day every day.  It still isn't solid political leverage. 

The rift between Trump and a traditional conservative like Sessions is rife with political opportunity, especially with marijuana and federal status.  Making those two the opposing faces of the entire issue would be the easiest political maneuver since wearing blue jeans and taking a photo next to a barbed wire fence.  The Democrats own zero real estate in any of these topics.

I don't think they need a collective voice--just one for each race.  I don't think every race presents the same challenges so why run the same ads?  The Republicans ate it in Virginia and New Jersey going all in on MS13 narratives. Another case in point is Alison Friedman is running some good ads against Barbara Comstock in Virginia and Texas has their own with Beto. 

The collective voice will land once the Trump admin gets dealt some blows and they're coming, they always do no matter who's in office.  He's been a turd in the punchbowl without crisis which he invents.  Wait until a real one presents itself and he has to deal with all the self inflicted chaos he creates.  I don't wish it on anybody, but the voters that put him in office will fare the worst.

I agree that every race can't be run with a single blueprint.  But firm commonality with two, maybe three popular issues is an underlying announcement that they will require the congressional numbers to execute those goals.  It shouldn't be this difficult to identify a single issue from the DNC.  The current plan for broad appeal isn't something I can point to right now from the Democratic aisle.

I just caught up on the last four pages. I want to puke.

This man needs to tarred, feathered, and run to Russia on a rail, I think. Then I remember, it's the electorate. Trump didn't tunnel into the White House, he was put there by tens of millions of American voters. I feel like I've eaten my puke and puked it out again.

We can change the pilot, but one of the wings is on fire.

I wish Obama had pardoned El Chapo as he was walking out the door.

Just say he did.  Trump voters will believe it.

Trump could pardon him himself.

El Chapo? I used to love to eat there! Great chimichangas and turkey tacos! I hope the pardon brings it back. Maybe President Trump will pardon Monterrey House, too, and really piss off the libs!

Wait, Rodman's trip to the summit is being sponsored by marijuana related business?

You just can't make this shit up.

If I had to endure watching two fat guys talk about nuclear weapons I'd appreciate having Dennis Rodman and some weed around.
