Aside and probably belongs in LC but I was just watching a video on YouTube about this crisis in Japan where a recent massive study indicated tens of thousands of people might be suffering a previously unidentified disease that causes dramatic brain degeneration. Apparently it has something to do with a material used in toothbrushes. I can't remember what the bristles were made from like whale oil or watercolors I don't remember. But it has set off a massive health crisis.

I don't care about you but others can benefit and you don't know anything about the individual healthcare market before the ACA. Health Indurance policies pre ACA were not a lifetime commitment by the insurer. Thinking you would get catastrophic coverage for $30 a month if you ever needed it is lol. You would have benefited from the remainder of your current year of coverage then you would have been put into a death spiral.

Your premiums would have been jacked up magnitudes and you would still only have the same crappy coverage. You would be unable to get any other insurance unless your state offered a high risk pool and even then you would be subject to high risk pools.

If you were not being moved into a new group annually with your $30 insurance then it was not what you thought it was and would likely have covered pretty much nothing. That doesn't even take into account the pre existing condition games insurers regularly played when people got expensive illnesses. The likely outcome of your "coverage" would be the insurer denying claims and put it on you to prove you didn't already have cancer before you got the policy.

This is how the individual market worked pre ACA. It just stole money from healthy people and provided no coverage to sick people. Bragging they only stole $30 a month from you as a 20 year old is lol.

The total failure of the individual markets is what necessitated the ACA. They literally did not provide actual forward looking insurance against getting ill.

This is also why they can't repeal the ACA.

are you worth 50m yourself? if you are (and don't care about other people), being pro-trump is the rational choice.
if not, you're stupid and advocating against your own best interest.

....because it's been awhile since he's attacked another country publicly.

He is right to some extent. China could be more aggressive and helpful but they won't because of their trade with NK, the fact that any war would lead to millions running for China-NK border and an unwillingness to have America bordering them.

But whining about it over Twitter as POTUS is pathetic.

tweeting should solve it

the democrats never thought to just tweet out all your insecurities to the world on a daily basis

Trump is so petty & hypocritical he's probably donating his salary in order to qualify for Medicaid.

No he's not. Maybe the "President" shouldn't have used up all his Chinese party favors on his daughter, son-in-law, and himself instead of helping our ****ing country and the world.

If Trump isn't owned by Putin, nothing makes sense.
If Trump is owned by Putin, many things make sense.

But if Trump and others are owned by Putin AND there is a coordinated effort to carry out Putin's orders to destroy America, everything makes sense.

Real sad to say but it's true.

Hey, maybe slow pony but this badly aged quote popped into my head today:

One consequence of the GOP routinely overdosing on their own supply is that totally incompetent pieces of garbage like Rinse Preebus somehow get accepted as mainstream political operatives who know things. No.

Did anyone watch the Browder hearing today? Watch it and tell me I'm not nuts.

EDIT: In the hearing, Sen Hirono (D-HI) made a point how the FARA has a hole you can drive a truck through. It allows entities (read: Russian shell companies) to get into the country without registering as foreign agents. After finishing her questioning, watch the look she gives Grassley, as if Republicans were responsible for that carve-out in the FARA.

Dems are all into the money trail, sanctions, Trump Jr meeting, it's pretty crazy.

Also explains the White House going insane right now. And Huckabeast taking special time out to claim victory of the hearing.

And watch Graham tear apart the Trump Jr "alleged" meeting. Was his questioning before or after Roger Stone's threat?

Together with Grassley, Graham also appears to be making a new case that the Russians are playing both sides and framing Trump.
Since I got a PM asking for this and I forgot to post it before, here:



Warning: It's 1.5 hours long, and starts off a little slow.

If you want cliffs, just watch the Q&A from Rs Graham and Grassley (the new version of Russia they're pushing is sad comedy) and Dems Durbin, Hirono and the person between them whom I forget.

Read the quoted post above (and others after it ITT) for more details.

His amazing diplomacy skills continue.

Well, of the people in Trump's inner circle, Priebus was almost certainly one of the most mainstream ones.

(Yes, I feel gross typing that)

This is the kind of thing that should be easy to agree on and we can't even do that. I think the people that are on it surely know what's up. Have you had a lot of positive testimonials on here about ObamaCare from ObamaCare users? Or is this just an odd ObamaCare circlejerk for non-"policyholders"?

If you're on it, what do you think of it?

Grunching, this guy's probably banned.

I'm on it, I like it.

The ridiculous thing is it was illegal to even try to hack voting machines as a demonstration before 2015.
