  4. Yes, that was a disgrace. Finally she was discredited by it, at least in some people's eyes.

  5. Thanks to Katie for bringing together the best voices on this topic now. Outstanding.

  6. Fear that she won't die soon enough, and no longer be in a position to cause their campaign funding to dry up for 2022. Elections every 24 months do that.

  7.  michael nola  Are you so sure it would fail? It might depend on how many are dead, bankrupt, homeless, and how many have taken it to the streets.

  8.  michael nola  I'm so sorry that you imagine you have deeper insights of the underlying logic of federal legislation than others do. I submit that you cannot predict what would happen if M4A were put to a vote, anymore than the result of the last election could be predicted. (Did you expect the Democrats to lose seats in the House, and fail to take the Senate outright? Did you expect Trump(!) to take Iowa, Ohio, and Florida? I didn't.) It's one thing to posture about M4A, and quite another to be called upon to vote on it in a formal roll call. What you're describing is what usually happens. But that's not what always happens. This could turn out to be one of those times when the usual doesn't happen. I mean, they do keep telling us COVID is an emergency. Isn't it? One (additional?) "small" problem: millions have lost their health insurance, and millions more will. Do you expect them to line up meekly to take a vaccine that has been approved on an accelerated timetable, if it turns that the side effects are significant, for most people? You do, huh? And are they also supposed to believe they should trust a government that has done next to nothing for them, and that holds them in contempt? If they're on their own in this, well, they have no reason to feel obligated to comply. You think most people don't know that every other country has universal health care? You think they're all so stupid they don't know the care is generally better? Let's have our legislators take a Brave Stand. Let's see how that shakes out.

  9.  @bradleysmith681  AMEN! Thank you for the essential reminder, back to what's important.

  10. She is not a rarity.

  11. Is now threatening to have him impeached, not just let him slither away.

  12.  @americancitizen36  Exactly! The public record we know to be accurate is horrible.

  13. Me, too! Thanks for writing this.

  14. Who cared about Jeffrey Epstein? Who cared about the bacha bazi? We are all babes in the woods, my friend.

  15. Jimmy Dore -- the South Side of Chicago is legendary. So funny. It's not pure disadvantage, it's also an education. Katie and Aaron are my favs. Rare integrity and intelligence.

  16.  @optimistx4187  Well, he went to Catholic high school and was an admiral in the Navy. The last name is often Irish, so I don't know why you asked that.

  17.  @gannibalof21st  Sanity. Finally.

  18. Yoo hoo. Matt. We are in the middle of a pandemic, no? Or is that part "fake," too? Well then.

  19. At first, I was duped. But it did sound strange very fast. He sounded both rehearsed AND like two different people.

  20. As did his father.

  22.  @inquisitive.lurker  Oh yeah? https://youtu.be/64A7A8QWDNc Keep pretending . . .

  23. Notice how ALL the pseudo-progressive centrists act like there is no COVID, except when small businesses have to close?

  24. THIS.

  25. Is Briahna a sweetheart OR WHAT? Brilliant here. Katie = brilliant, goes without saying.

  26. @kwanchan6745  Nor did he ever earn an engineering degree. Nor did he found Tesla. He bought it, and shoved out a founder. He made his money with Peter Thiel.

  38. No, you don't want to attempt to pass any change to the Constitution for this. Look up how that's done, and you'll know why. Congress could try to craft a federal statute, pursuant to the 14th Amendment. A Texas plaintiff could attempt to sue under the 14th and the 13th Amendments. Roe v. Wade came out of Texas.

  39.  @ponokealii  That's not the issue. You can make the argument, you can't amend the Constitution. Not the same thing. We never got an Equal Rights Amendment through, remember?
    1
  40.  @ponokealii  Yes, you could, and argue that involuntary pregnancy is servitude, since it makes use of your very body against your will (though no one can force anyone to raise the child once it's born). But would that argument prove too much? Wouldn't it allow abortion at any time, even in the 9th month of pregnancy? At that point, of course, no doctor would perform one.
    1
  41.  @ponokealii  Involuntary pregnancy could very well result from a loving relationship, and does. Anyway, muting you from my notifications. I don't know what the problem is, but I bet it's hard to pronounce. You're right about everything. Leave it at that, then.
    1
  42.  @ponokealii  No one HAS to raise an unwanted child. They can relinquish custody to the other parent, to theit family or to the family of the other parent, or put the child up for adoption. So that argument in favor of abortion will not work. It is totally counterfactual. But you're right. Muted.
    1
  43.  @ponokealii  To compare caring for an unwanted child who you can hand over to the care of others any time you want to American chattel slavery has got to be a new low. (But if I continued to listen, I bet I'd hear worse.)

  44. I'm sure it must be. He's 55, and lived very modestly his whole life. South Side, youngest of 12? Probably got his first job about four decades ago.

  45.  No Name  And if he didn't have a nice home, he'd be "a loser" and "jealous." Or better yet, "why does Bernie care? He already has Medicare." LOL, trash talking not working!

  46. Nice!

  47. WOW, when Williamson criticizes anyone, for any reason, she truly weighs her words. Huh. On top of all that, she's right.

  48.  @destinyrose2012  The people who do withhold their vote, to demand something in return for it, are paid to do that. This is why their donors give them money, and why lobbyists court them.

  49.  @ravenswood118  Should we report you for "you people are disgusting, I hope you rot in hell?" Your posts read like parodies.

  50. ​ @richardparker1338 Bosses hate it when unemployment falls below 5%. Workers have some power then.
