When fascism came to America it came clutching a bible and waving the flag. On January 20, 2025. A ll worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances. Milarepa Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. Rumi Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom.

DeleteExchanging Obamacare for "something terrific" is an example of Trump's "important ideas." IOW he has none. But he can insult an entire culture so that it sends a thrill up the collective legs of his base and puts him in the lead. The other presidential contenders are killing their cell phones, taking a chain saw to the tax code, saying they'd like to punch teachers in the face, and finally, the most bizarre: cooking bacon on a machine gun. Is this presidential politics or an SNL skit? I can't tell the difference.
ReplyDeleteAll true, unfortunately. But what I really want to hear is what are democrats going to propose that is going to make the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) truly affordable for middle class Americans and at the same time sustainable. From my point of view NO ONE has been either able or willing to do both.
DeleteCooking bacon on a machine gun? There are some weird folks out there and how they make it to the national political or media scene is a puzzlement.
Congress needs to amend the ACA by adding a public option. But of course the Repubs will say no because they want it to fail.
DeleteAnother shot to the foot by teddy.
ReplyDeleteYour right Les, obamacare does not work for many. A recent poll shows 25% of people with obamacare are satisfied and the majority don't feel they can afford it in the future. We are stuck with it but our elected elite need to figure out how to fix it and trump's I will come up with something great doesn't provide the answers.
The trump supporters are the equivalent of the obama supporters in 08. He doesn't have to have a plan just a speech. No information voters are a real threat on both sides.
On the leftist side is HRC saying bush, perry, walker have a war on women for pushing to de-fund PPH when it was a women who pushed it. I guess you can't blame her because her ship is listing badly and she need to run from herself.
Is it or is it not true that republicans are the party that has been advocating for and wanted to defund PP?
DeleteYou always start out fine but end up sounding foolish skudrunner.
I'd wager that, for most of the people who dislike the ACA, the reason is because it doesn't have a public option. Funding for PP should be increased, IMO. And the Hyde amendment should be repealed as it punishes poor women who find themselves in the position of needing an abortion.
DeleteAfter much thought, I've decided that the Donald's sole positive is that his hairdo resembles a 'hanging chad'.
