I have thought it was Friday since about half-past Tuesday.

What happens, like, operationally when the Government is held in contempt? Does a DOJ lawyer go to jail or something?

All those actions are still illegal, even though he lost. He should be *under* the cheddar jail.

Okay here's my new idea: Design a universal healthcare solution and pitch it to the White House as "Trumpcare". I think that's the way in. You know he'd bite. I want his name to go away too, but if he can get it done, he deserves it.

If it helps get the ball rolling, I'd be willing to call Universal Healthcare "Trumpcare". Be clear: I want his name out of my mouth as much as you do out of yours. But I think he'd be open to this pitch.

It reminds me of the Scary Clown Panic of 2016. Among the things they have in common is that a certain Orange Someone was dominating the national discourse at the time.

Dan Ray @danray0424.bsky.social · 18/12/2024
To be clear I'm not saying the orange someone is behind either. Just that there's a psychological lean toward mass psychosis that the two eras have in common. (Which perhaps the orange someone is uniquely capable of producing.)

Okay, remember the "scary clown" fad of 2016? Those weren't real just like today's "scary drones" aren't real. What do they have in common? A certain orange someone was dominating the national discourse at the time.

Maybe so, but the law requires them to have an ACA plan.

This is exactly how the first FDs in the country worked! You bought a plaque from them to hang on your house. If your house caught fire, the fire department would come, and if you didn't have the plaque they'd stand around and laugh.

They don't. A provision of the ACA is that all legislators and staff must be on an ACA insurance exchange plan and not the negotiated health care benefit that most federal workers get.

The murder of UnitedHealth Care CEO Brian Thompson was brutal. The reactions were telling. Elite disdain for the rule of law is leading to a society that is spinning out of control.

The performative "I don't support murder" that some people have prefaced their reaction with feels weird to me. Can we just assume that's the baseline and then have our reactions from there? Or do they have to say that to distance themselves from the pro-murder crowd?

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

And we've got to be willing to let go of our need for nuance and maturity in our messaging. Trump won because of gas pump stickers. It's that simple and that stupid. Dem consultants told the Harris campaign that the "weird" thing was unprofessional and boom, that traction died.

It doesn't have to be high-minded, either. We're terrible at the sort of simple, sucker-punch messaging that Republicans are great at. Trump won because of gas pump stickers. We need to get that stupid-simple.

Several major insurers are no longer rating policies in California AT ALL due to wildfire risk. 5th largest economy in the world, and you can't get mainstream homeowners insurance.
