Right. I don't understand why this isn't generally accepted.

This administration is powered by lies. They will just make something up and do their best to destroy her life.

Marc Elias has a prediction for the midterms: “If Democrats win, it is 100% certain that Donald Trump will say they were not honest.” Voting rules are being rewritten right now. Stay a step ahead: demdock.com/4yhBJbZ

That's not at all how that comes across to me. Taking out the cities is the small price. "It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, for keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."

How do we respond? "It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, for keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay." The republican crowd cheered. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsAl...

Right. Removing healthy people from the ACE insurance pool will end it. The money the government saves by not paying subsidies for healthy people is a smaller side benefit.

I expect they're removing healthy people from the ACA insurance pool to make it weaker. Saving on premium subsidies is just a bonus.

I expect over time COVID-19 will become a factor in most of our deaths, and yet world leaders are doing nothing to mitigate this. I'm done being angry about it though. I'm more bewildered that I (and you) can see this while most people can't. I'm not particularly anxious or smart. It's just sad.

When I comment in support of CA's billionaire tax, people who are either bought or bots come out of the woodwork to minimize the impact. It's a shame there's been virtually no public discussion of the benefits of prop 40. Instead we're 100% focused on how bad it would be to frighten the oligarchs.

I think we need a stronger term than "threat to democracy". Things like this aren't threats, they're acts which are part of the coup. I'm not sure what to sayinstead though, maybe "further erode our struggling democracy" or "an attack on our democracy".

Fair point. If I had to make the case (which is already lost so what am I doing here?) one point might be that his pro-Ukraine concert wasn't going bother anyone because it was political on its face, while this tour was not. What he's missed though, I think, is that genocide calls for disruption.

FWIW, from a little surfing it sounds to me like Sheeran is a generally good guy who fucked up. Anti-brexit, pro Labour Party, publicly supported pro-LGBTQ policy in the U.S., supports Ukraine. I'd never heard of him before this mess but I'm glad the mess happened. The discussions were needed.

It's eugenics. The tech bros and Christofascists and grifters running the country are intent on culling the herd. Unless you are strong, white, male, and Christian (suitable for war and industry), or one of the disenfranchised women needed to breed with them, you are overhead to be minimized.

Talarico's interview with Kimmel has been seen 4.7 million times so far even though Trump's FCC wouldn't allow it to air. Trump called Talarico "Talafreako" in his speech at the republican convention. It was seen just ~2.5 million times on Fox, one of the few places to show the whole thing.
