  1. Our system wasn't designed so much as built by accident, and by the time people started pushing for universal care, the insurance industry had far too much money and could fight its obsolescence.

  2.  @Alltime2050  Darn right! The right beats us because too many of our voters are lazy. They vote pretty much every time.

  3. She probably could explain that to him, but she has to say, "No, Ben. I just don't get orgasms. It's okay."

  4. One thing a lot of people don't notice is that Bill Gates has more than twice the money he did when he "started to give it all away." How Anand Giridharadas got him to write a blurb for Winners Take All, I'll never know, but that was the greatest thing I have seen in quite some time. Has anyone else ever endorsed a book that calls him/her a fraud?

  7. Oh, look. Everyone's favorite troll put up a new username to agree with himself. Sad.

  8. "A single payer with private insurance" is a contradiction in terms. I don't care how many languages you supposedly speak, you don't get to make words mean what you want them to mean.

  9.    Jimmy Dore is a grifter. He doesn't want anything to get better, which is why he keeps spouting his third party nonsense. His debate with Sam Seder proved that he doesn't know what he is talking about.

  10. Is it wrong that when I first saw this comment as it was the first comment when I opened the video, I thought it was talking about a different kind of interaction between men and women?

  11. As West Virginia goes, Martinsburg is a relatively urban area. If they don't stick it out with Beanie Baby, they're definitely not having a lot of fallback options.

  12.  @douglasmennella4525  I think it can be done by legislation. If you state that all federal judges are randomly listed on the Supreme Court is something that may be doable, because Congress is allowed to set rules about the makeup of the Judiciary, and they can also write it in such a way that it cannot be overturned by judicial review.

  13.  @that_heretic  Just include a section in the law that says that it is not subject to judicial review. Congress has that right, and there's nothing that the Supreme Court can do about it.

  14. There is literally a zero chance that Russian Agent Jill Stein will win. So, you either get Kamala, or the candidate whose only complaint with Netanyahu is that he's been going too easy in Gaza. There's a vote to feel smug about yourself, and a vote about honestly looking at the effects of your actions.

  15.  @ebalicious1775  So, by your logic, it is all about his own brain rather than actual evidence of a threat? Well, in that case, all any murderer has to do is say "I was scared," and that's the end of that. Just let them walk free.

  16. Never forget that Mike Pence did the right thing... only after trying every way possible to justify doing the wrong thing.

  19. Everybody didn't go to high school when states decided to increase education from 6th or 8th grade to 12tg grade. Why does he think it was called high school in the first place?

  20.  @garysmokesmeat  "Life was cold, nasty, and brutish because that's how you start out." You forgot "short." On a more serious note, it clearly isn't that way for the people who already have privilege, and I don't see you telling them to toughen up, because you're whining about "forcing them at the point of a gun" to contribute to a society that gave so much to them. Speaking of which, where does most charity that rich people pay actually go? I'll give you a hint: it goes to things that benefit other rich people.

  21.  @garysmokesmeat  "I support it because it's moral and ethical." Just saying that it is moral and ethical doesn't make it either. I personally believe that your position is highly immoral because it is explicitly designed to help those who already have more at the expense of everyone else.
    9
  22.  @garysmokesmeat  For people who talk about morality so much, you libertarians sure do engage in discussion in a most dishonest way. You start by talking about how much better your way works, and whenever someone else points to examples of how things that you hate have actually made things better for people, you either deny the example, try to distract with a red herring that still proves the opposite, or failing that, making an appeal to morality? Is that because deep down you know that no one is interested in hearing about how greed is moral, and that's all you have left?

  23.  @garysmokesmeat  You don't want workers to keep what they earn. You want the rich to keep everything the workers earn, because once we started following something closer to what you want, pay at the top skyrocketed while while wages have remained stagnant for over 40 years despite productivity doubling in that time.

  24. ​ @humbertoramirez8165  Given that Aaron does a copy and paste job for the same few lies over and over again, he clearly thinks it does. Either that, or he's just a masochist.

  25. Did you find a new benefactor, Aaron?

  26.  @benzell4  The amusing thing about how stupid the birthers were is that even if everything they said was true, the fact that his mom was a US Citizen at the time of his birth meant that he was a natural born citizen (see also: Cruz, Rafael E. "Ted"; McCain, John S. III; Romney, George W.).

  27.  @johnf8122  She could never make it as a lobbyist. In order to be a lobbyist, you have to have two things: good relations with Congress and expertise on a particular policy. Given that she is hated more than any Senator not named Ted Cruz, and how lazy she is, that's not her future. Being a talking head is lucrative and easy, so that seems a much more likely destination.

  30. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I like the idea of Thomas not being on the bench any longer, but as much as I would like to say that we can't find anyone worse, Moscow Donald will find a way, and this is someone else who gets to stay there for decades.

  31.  @williamgullett5911  Business owners can't find people because they don't want to pay. Oh, that's right. Your phony populism falls apart under the slightest scrutiny because you support the party of low taxes, low wages, low corporate accountability, and low education. These are characteristics of Third World countries.

  33.  @DUNGSI27  Fair enough. I just don't understand the love he gets. He seeks out the worst people and defends them to the bitter end.

  34.  @MrBoomersfriend  Getting so many volunteers that they are drafting 300,000 people and banning flights out of the country. Sure, things are just going great, Baghdad Adam!

  36. She says she's "not allowed" to say things on MSM. She was invited on CNN to talk about it. It sounds like Ann Coulter going all over the press to say that she can't talk on the press.

  40. Hilarious when he pauses thinking that his line is a great applause line, and the silence before a lackey catches on, and others join in.

  41.  @FelixDaleth  He only supports the ones who he thinks will lose. The instant they win the nomination (See: Ocasio Cortez, Alexandria; Bush, Cori), he calls them sellouts.

  42.  @jpbm1873  By your logic, Ron Paul is a lefty. There is a difference between isolationism and peace. People who desire peace don't defend regimes that use chemical weapons on their own people and recite their propaganda. People who desire peace don't compare the Iran nuclear deal to Munich. People who desire peace don't praise a hasty retreat that causes the slaughter of thousands of Kurds. People who desire peace don't support torture ever. People who desire peace don't praise Sisi for killing protesters in Egypt. People who desire peace don't defend Modi and his multiple massacres. Tulsi Gabbard is content to let the world burn as long as it isn't American soldiers suffering.

  43.  @areaunderthecurve9918  Except he wasn't. Trump did it in plain sight, and several people were indicted and convicted over crimes revealed during the investigation.

  44.  @frivolousquan7085  Yes, because non-union schools do such a good job hiring good teachers. The states that prohibit teacher's unions have the worst educational performance. In the ten years since Wisconsin "chopped those teachers unions off at the knees," their academic performance fell from 2nd to 9th. And how is giving schools less money supposed to make them better? You clearly have a problem with public schools in general.

  46.  @unitedfools3493  Greenwald is a libertarian. Look at his work in Salon and lefty critiques of his work with Snowden. It was always there to see, which is why some of us were reluctant to get fully on board with him.

  47.  @Kyarrix  I get what you are saying. My thought process is that this might already be someone who is pretty solidified in his views, and the intended audience wasn't the caller but someone who might be on the fence.

  50. Indeed. I made an error on my taxes a couple of times over a decade ago. Once, I inverted numbers when filling out my form and was actually owed an extra $30 or so. Another time, I misunderstood the wording on the EITC and thought that because my then-wife was under 25, I was ineligible. The IRS told me to call, explained the error both times, and they made sure that I got every penny I was owed. Funny how they actually make sure that the people who do the right thing don't get punished.
