Speaking of ignorance, did you know that Biff thinks autism is caused by vaccines?

You guys think NAZIs were right wing overlords. So, your critical thinking skills are suspect to say the least.

Speaking of poor critical thinking skills, did you know that Biff really thought he could get Mexico to pay for a wall.

it was discredited with the words ‘facts’.

I understand that your team doesn't understand what facts are but that's not my problem. Maybe you should blame your parents for the piss poor job they did raising you, but that is still no excuse for what you've become.

Both extremes of the political spectrum create their own facts. People at the extremes are driven by emotion, not logic. Unfortunately, both political parties are tending to the extremes. The lack of compromise between the parties coupled with the moves to the respective extremes means that we get less legislation that is based in logic or good math. It's a bad path for government to follow.

Which is why it's time for a divorce. Let's part ways, divvy up the assets and get on with our lives.

Or let's learn to work together again like we did numerous other times when our politics became polarized.

Your suggestion reminds me of the Ron White quote when giving his grandfather's description of Ron, "That boy's got a lot of quit in him."

You live and let live, noble defeatist 'cuckservatives' have let the left incrementally demolish the United States of America. Forgive me if I don't give a damn what you think about this subject.

You are free to leave any time.

Don't let the door hit you in the ***.

For anyone who wants or speaks of breaking this nation up, I steal a line from Andrew Jackson: "John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation, I will secede your head from the rest of your body."

The next option is crushing your body and spirit and imposing my will on you then. I'm starting to warm up to that idea.

And millions of fools really thought they could keep their health plans and at a LOWER cost......fools.

“We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”

As his run for president took shape, candidate Trump boasted via Twitter, “I was the first & only potential GOP candidate to state there will be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid” — before arguing that GOP also-ran Mike Huckabee was copying him.

Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway made a promise that almost certainly can’t be met with the House bill: “We don't want anyone who currently has insurance to not have insurance.”


Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price praised the House’s repeal and replace plan on Sunday’s NBC’s “Meet the Press” arguing, “I firmly believe that nobody will be worse off financially in the process that we’re going through.”

"We have to get rid of the artificial lines around the states,” Trump said during the second presidential debate.

“I am going to take care of everybody … Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.” More recently, Trump has promised that repeal will end with “a beautiful picture.

Meaningless......Trump does not have a health care plan in place. President Obama made comments on his ACA that became law.......some of those comments have turned out to be lies.

Moe was yesterday's repeal of Obama's clean air restrictions of emissions from coal fired power plants significant enough for you or was that also another lie Trump told when he promised to restore the coal industry in America?

You do realize that democracy means that the will of the majority decides the path forward, correct? It sounds like you don't want to live in a democratic society. You want to live in some homogeneous conservative society.

You do realize that we are supposed to function as a democratic republic where the majority rule is ideally constrained by the rule of law, correct.

I don't.

You want to live in some homogeneous conservative society.

I'd rather live in a theocratic conservative Christian society, but a homogeneous conservative society would suffice.

You mean like most of Trump's voting base.........[laughing][laughing][laughing]

So if Jesus is a 'freak' because he said "remove the plank from your own eye before you complain about a splinter in someone's eye" what would you call yourselves making fun of him?


Do Not Judge Matthew 7:5
…How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye? 5You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

They have to go through public comment period, draft a new plan that complies with Clean Air Act and all the law suits to follow. Yes, it's a proposal.

In the end, it won't impact much anyway. The trend away from coal was already established long before Obama signed this plan and all it did was codify what was already happening in the industry.

The coal industry will always be limited by a different policy-- Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) that are in stone and protected by enormous human/animal health data.
