And noone in his right mind wants his you-know-what in it.

if it isnt destroyed first...those sneaky fascist anti-democratic-process republican bastards in the senate are about to push their AHCA bullshit through--this may not have been possible to pull off, had the public option gotten any support, as that would have seriously weakened the insurance mafia by now

at any rate, i've called it pelosi-care from day 1, since she's the one that did all the heavy work

i was talked into going to hawaii (oahu) 10 yrs ago by mrs mfp and another couple we know...by talked into it, imean that i thought 'great...fucking florida only with 10hrs in a sardine can tacked onto each end of it' (hate commercial flying)

no...it's nothing like florida...we were there for 8 days, and i fell in love with every bit of it, the paradise, the people, and yes, the girls appear as you describe..friendly, happy, outgoing--cause youknow, it's paradise

they had to drag me onto the 2nd 10hrs of tin can, imean i was ready to say 'fuckit' and stay with whatever i had in my suitcase--sell my guitars, alla my shit, i dont care--if i'd even been 40yrs old and not 50 at the time---*sigh* is right

Grasshopper - Our greatest strength is our greatest weakness. We have a government of, by, and for the people.

I suggest things will improve from here because so many have awakened to the horror of what we have done.

Deception, projection and ad hominem(sp?) attacks are their tools of the trade.

I stole part of it from Bill Moyers. It is very true.

Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? It ain't over until WE say it is over - and we're just getting started.

I wouldn't be surprised if President Trump's health takes a turn for the worse after the November 2018 bloodbath and he resigns. With votes. Or from votes.

Can we skip a couple of generations and just put kids like this in charge?

Lady MS and Baltimore girl here: Don't try to try to trash Nancy. She's the only d'Allesandro gal with five older brothers. Her Dad & bro Tommy III were mayors. Gotta tell you, I'm not a total Nancy fan, but hold her in high regard along with our other home-grown Catholic homie, Barbara Mikulski. These are smart, well-educated ladies who are well-equipped to face off against ignorant white-trash opponents. As a Western High Class of 1965 grad, will support these women to the mat . BTW, Western is the oldest all-girls PUBLIC high school in the nation; alma mater of Sarah T. Hughes, the iconic judge who swore in LBJ aboard AF-One following the assassination of JFK. Look it up, youngsters.

She learned how to be a pol at the knee of her pa and he was a smart, smart fellow who forgot nothing. She learned how to play the game as a young woman and she knows how to play smart thanks to dear old dad.

Was a hardcore viewer, until about seven years ago, when it became apparent that MJ was dying (ahem) to put his shady past aside and try to run again. Every freakin' sentence began: "When I was in the House...yadda, yadda..." That was then, and we know why you left. MJ and the show are irrelevant. Mika has always been a disgrace - Howard Stern's Robin to Joe's blowhard bullshit (see: Newt).
