We’re a pretty poor country right now, even though we shouldn’t be.

No we aren't, we're the richest country in the world and with a sane taxation policy (one that existed in the past and exists in most other developed countries) we could fix a lot of our economic problems.

We did vote, and this is what we got. So why will things be better next time? I mean, Hillary had a lock on this, right?

Didn't love Hillary, or Kerry, or Gore, or Dukakis, or Mondale. Hell, Bill Clinton may be the most gifted politician of all time and he might not have been elected if Perot were not in the race.

Democrats don't vote unless they're in love. And they got to be in love deep.

Nope.



Dr. Mrs. talks about this all the time. I will try to have her make a guest appearance later in the show. Considering that we play games at the home of a long time DHS immigration lawyer I'm pretty sure I'm on solid ground here.

It's like the difference between a license revocation hearing (administrative) and your actual DUI case (criminal).

The deportation hearing is administrative, but crossing the border illegally is (now) a misdemeanor crime (until relatively recently, it was just a civil violation). The separation of parent and child occurs because Trump's Department of Justice is using its prosecutorial discretion to strictly enforce these crossings as crimes for everyone, regardless of fact or circumstance.

The trump admin is quietly trying to degrade hsalhvcare while the world watches them rip kids from their parents.
From WaPo:
“The new rules allow plans to exclude coverage for maternity care, prescription drugs, mental health services and other “essential health benefits” that the ACA requires.”

And now, a rebuttal from that champion of woman's rights, the person who will have her daddy's ear so she can stand up and speak for all the women in the US, Ivanka Trump:

Where the Fark do you get this shiat? No we're not. We're not anywhere close to being a poor country.

I understand this. Drew seems to have some difficulty wrapping his head around it. Understanding just what a sick and depraved trainwreck his party and its policies have become.

I think it’s more a case of politicians not wanting to do the hard bit. Republicans are largely at fault, but the Dems aren’t exactly blameless.

How the Koch Brothers Are Killing Public Transit Projects Around the Country

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A team of political activists huddled at a Hardee’s one rainy Saturday, wolfing down a breakfast of biscuits and gravy. Then they descended on Antioch, a quiet Nashville suburb, armed with iPads full of voter data and a fiery script.

The group, the local chapter for Americans for Prosperity, which is financed by the oil billionaires Charles G. and David H. Koch to advance conservative causes, fanned out and began strategically knocking on doors. Their targets: voters most likely to oppose a local plan to build light-rail trains, a traffic-easing tunnel and new bus routes.

In Little Rock, Americans for Prosperity made more than 39,000 calls and knocked on nearly 5,000 doors to fight a proposed sales-tax increase worth $18 million to fund a bus and trolley network. In Utah, it handed out $50 gift cards at a grocery store, an amount it said represented what a proposed sales tax increase to fund transit would cost county residents per year.

But, yes, money and corporations are speech. **** you Supreme Court.

This was a policy started by Sessions, Miller, and Trump. They could end it today as quickly as they started it. It's entirely a GOP created issue.

Go Fark yourself, you quisling.

They were always like this though. If McCain became president with the racist Alaskan halfwit as his VP I have to imagine they'd have implemented similar measures given the chance. Maybe not quite to this extent of family separation but it's not like Donald Trump's vision is anything new in terms of the Republican party. They're just taking the next logical step for their policies.

Twenty trillion in debt, massive underfunded liabilities, and horrible infrastructure.

We own most of that debt and our debt to GPD is similar to that of other economically advanced European nations. And we own our own currency.

Try again.

Ya get what you vote for. As long as rufus and crew thought there was little difference between a candidate who puts children into a concentration camp, and a candidate who didn't want to put children into a concentration camp, small wonder there's turnout problems on the left. I mean...giving a speech to a wall st bank....putting children in cages on the border.....its the same thing, right?

I could have added close to twenty years without breaking even. I’ll believe we can get our act together when I see it.

Many dissatisfied Democrats think they're all the same. Nader for example. He prevented Gore from being elected and his entire campaign was based on Gore and W being the same person.
