And mostly poor, white conservatives. The rollback of safety & environmental regs on coal mines is already succeeding at killing them faster in coal country.

Which commands priority, the life already existing, living and breathing, or a potential life in the uterus? Where should our dollars go to helping first?

BTW, this graphic says a lot. A few surprises, but otherwise a pretty accurate map of educated states with good white collar jobs vs. dying herp-a-derp states:

You have a moral code? Really? Could have fooled me. Almost as much as the party you worship so much has fooled you.
Your "morals" are not the ones I was taught about Christ. Too much hate in your blood.

There's a huge difference in asserting your moral code as your own standard of conduct and asserting the right to impose your moral code on the rest of us.
At the end of the day the very first Pro-Choice bumper sticker said it best: Don't like abortion? Don't have one.

Collins is 50% at best. She just banked some “moderate” points by being the only GOP Congress critter to back net neutrality. She’s probably going to cash in and **** her constituents over.

Collins is buying the fig leaf of rollback. That seems to have sealed the deal both on The Heist and on any future the US still had as a democratic nation.
It was nice while it lasted. My ancestors moved here fewer than 150 years ago to find a freer legal and political system and more economic opportunity than what they had in, respectively, Italy, Norway, and Austria-Hungary. My descendants will move on and find those things in another country. People vote with their feet.
It just sucks because we had it all; we just didn't have the fortitude to stop those f-cking fascist f-cks from destroying this country. At any moment the people of this country could have risen up and burned them off us like the parasitic vermin they are. But we were too distracted to feel the water start to boil, and too lazy to do anything about it even had we.

I’m doing a masters at northwestern right now to get out. I’ve lived abroad, it can be wonderful and other countries get it. That’s where I’m going

Dr. Mrs. and I are too old and our daughter is too set in her ways already. But our grandkids are going to have multiple languages, first tier degrees, and as many international experiences as we can afford.
As Amerika descends into the Paul Ryan Nightmare, the US will see a brain drain that will make 19th century Europe look like a magnet. They'll get their Neo-feudal Prison Camp, but nobody with an IQ over 100 will be in it. They can call it Greater Alabama.
Belo Horizonte is gorgeous, and we already have friends there. Dr. Mrs. can be a housemaid and I can be a street sweeper, as long as it means we breath the fresh air of freedom.

One of the republicans who was upset over the protesters against their tax plan (I think it was Graham) said something along the lines of - all of these people are yelling, and if I'm right, they will shut up, but if I'm wrong, we will lose.
The problem is that there is zero evidence that cutting taxes will do anything to the economy. Companies have said they will just pay out more profits, and the top end already have more money than they can spend. We've been through this before, and it almost killed two states. It's so very funny that r's have had to attack people with facts and evidence, just to get their way. From science to economics, it's all about enriching themselves.
To what end, I can't figure that out. Being a big fish in a tiny pond is rather pointless. Vs. being a pretty big fish in an ocean.
Power is odd in how it corrupts.

They need donors. That's all they care about. What you need to ask yourself is when did everyone stop caring about the United States. When you figure out the answer to that then you can explain the Republican Party.
The good news now is after Trump tweeted yesterday that there was no deal to be had with Chuck and Nancy BEFORE he even met with them (kudos to them for not showing up after that stupid tweet) there will be no debt ceiling deal. So, in exchange for the tax bill being rammed down our throats the Democrats can list as many demands as they want for keeping the government open. Cause there is no way in hell the Republicans can keep the doors open themselves. I would say that every single immigration policy dream the Democrats have should be on the demand list. If the President signs that which he will have to the Republican Party will be destroyed. If he doesn't we have no Government and people really see what Republican rule means.

I used to think "**** the orcs". I'm not moving, I'm going to take back my country from them.
There is too many of them though. I think the U.S. is ****ed. If the tides don't turn in a few years, I'll consider expatriating. I still want my retirement home in the Utah desert and the family camp deep in the woods of Maine. I'll have to build a wall to keep the Orcs out though.

Re: Business, Economics & Tax Policy 5.0: Can a blind nut find a squirrel?
There are compromise positions on everything. Unfortunately the issues that need those compromises the most fund the campaigns of the winners in Congress. So, nothing really gets done except for tax cuts for that donor class and wars for the highly profitable to the right companies war machine.
Thus, it's pretty much hopeless. Especially when the left can't compromise to keep Trump out of office.
I see a long Government shutdown as the best thing coming this Christmas.

Nobody's compromising anymore. It's all about my side winning and your side being humiliated. Bitter feelings result so when the shoe is on the other foot, the humiliation must be doubled down. Which leads to legislative nuclear war or a stalemate over the threat of mutually assured destruction.
Such is the state of politics right now. Mostly, they're bitter old people that need to go.
