  1. “Democrats produce mobs, Republicans produce jobs.” Thank you President Trump for producing an environment that even Melisa can prosper without the help of ProgressNow Colorado.

        1. What a lame response.

          You have no defense for your hatefulness. You and your ilk have released hatred as political capital.

          You are personally responsible for the ugliness and violence to come. If you claim Jesus Christ as your savior…you are a damned hypocrite. All you care about is money and power…for yourself.

          If I am wrong….tell me how.

          1. Easy does it Duke. Trump has produced jobs. 300 Carrier jobs stayed in Indianapolis while 900 more still left for Mexico. But haven't heard yet of massive new numbers of coal mining jobs back east, or thousands of returning manufacturing jobs in the Rust Belt.

            Trump is doing a great job, however, of wrecking the great Obama economy, that he inherited, with his tariffs. 

          2. What I really care about is that making sure all our mental health facilities have plenty of rubber in the rubber rooms when Trump wins election in 2020. We need to start planning now. The new occupants should be as comfortable as possible, don’t you agree.

  2. Help! Y and Z are confusing me. Does Y result in an independant comission and Z leave it up to the legislature with modifications? Wiser and better informed minds please comment.

     

    1. They establish two separate commissions, one for Congressional redistricting (Y) and one for State House and State Senate (Z).

      Both commissions are composed of 12 members (4 Dems, 4 Reps, 4 'Unaffiliated' voters) and maps that are drawn by nonpartisan legislative staff are selected by the commissions, with a map needing 3/4ths of the commission's approval and at least 2 of the 'Unaffiliated' voters supporting it (i.e., maps can't pass with just the support of all four Dems and Reps). 

      They would replace an existing 11-member commission for State House and State Senate (members selected by state leadership and courts), and the State legislature, which handles Congressional redistricting. 

          1. I think its all gone…which accounts for the vacuum between your ears.

            Money is your God. You have your reward..you are the victorious know -it-all, the smug denier of moral responsiblity, the sanctimonious defiler of the spiritual leader you claim to follow. 

            Bless your little heart. Please don't ever go away…

             

  3. WOTD from Vox: "White House Releases Proof that Socialized Medicine Works."

    The go-to chart lists percentage of seniors with wait-times for an appointment with a specialist for different countries. At the top, 20% of US seniors wait for over a month, while at the bottom, 59% of Canadians are scheduling their appointments out a month.

    The punchline? US Seniors are on Medicare, meaning their appointment wait times are experienced within a socialized insurance system.

    As we all know, in the US if you don't have insurance or don't have money, your wait times are "to die for". If you have a pre-existing condition, well then it depends on whether insurance companies are permitted to deny insurance.

    On the other hand, thanks to Obamacare, if you are on the individual market in a state with a good insurance exchange, then you have access to insurance at a reasonable cost.

  4. Now that Trump is proudly proclaiming that he is a Nationalist, can it be long before he rebrands the Republican Party to become the Nationalists Arise Zero Immigrants Party? 

    Betcha he'd even invent a snazzy new geometric symbol to sear the party's image into everyone's mind!

    Bannon, Miller, and at least 25% of Americans would rejoice!

    1. Is her geographic imprecision typical of the rest of her posts? 

      The Google maps version says it is only 388 hours of walking from Tapachula Mexico where the caravan was on Monday to Puerto Vallarta, where the storm is tonight.
