I refuse to believe that this is a real person and not Frank Caliendo doing an overly exaggerated Trump imitation.
Bri sucks but I’m curious why you would call her position “deeply evil” especially when there’s a number of things Biden could do to improve the current healthcare for millions but he won’t because he’s owned by healthcare insurance companies
Tim Scott thought Django was the antagonist in Django Unchained Tim Scott thought the FBI was too overreaching in Mississippi Burning Tim Scott is waiting for the sequel to Birth of a Nation I don't want to hear that we cant call him an Uncle Tom. He is an Uncle Toms Uncle Tom. Edit: I will add that white people shouldn't use the phrase Uncle Tom. It's a soft way of using a hard R, but any black person that doesn't use it is betraying his race.
I feel like you’re both right. US interests in expanding into areas and controlling them led to using trike awful people to gain control, which led to a need for some to need help from the very country oppressing them.
the geography of latin america being so close to insane imperialists in the US was definitely the biggest problem
The dude said Biden was being too divisive 4 months after the previous Pres. and his party used a bullshit conspiracy theory to push a violent insurrection and subsequent voter suppression laws. Fuck that guy.
as a therapist in the home health setting, i like this. medicare fucking gashed home health last year and a lot of patients were significantly worse off for it. i wonder if this will mean higher reimbursement rates to agencies or just more coverage
I feel like the irs bit is nearly bulletproof politically. Spend a little too make a lot. Obviously the rich don't like it but fuck em
What's an acceptable way for we white folk to call Tim an Uncle Tom(also, real opportunity lost here: "I don't want to hear that we cant call him an Uncle Tom. We should rename the term Uncle Tim.") Can we just chant "one of us" any time he's on tv?
seems like he is going to roll with the subsidy lowering ACA Premiums and try to extend that instead of getting into a public option fight right now . The infrastructure bill and maybe a slim dreamers bill have more votes
Vance is trying desperately to make himself relevant politically in Ohio, but has not yet declared. Tim Ryan (D) officially declared on Monday. Former state GOP Chair Jane Timken and former state treasurer Josh Mandel have declared for the R’s. Predictably, the GOP candidates are all trying to out-crazy each other and claim the mantle of most Trump. Dayton mayor Nan Whaley is the only D to announce for Governor. She has no shot, unless DeWine gets primaried. DeWine is hated among Trumpers, but very popular overall. If he gets primaried, it’s game on for anything.
rooting for Ryan, as he is a fairly okay politician and seems to have a good shot of winning. But then again, Ohio is now red.
"We need something that insulates our ideas from accusations of racism. I've got it, let's have our only black senator explain them."
I think it means he's in the pocket of Health Insurance companies as he has been since the primaries. I don't think he ever had any intention of doing anything about healthcare.
I am looking forward to Tucker's piece on the evil's of picking dandelion's and spreading their weedy pollen.
Eastern Ohio has flipped from blue 20 years ago to hard red now, but it’s Ryan’s home turf. PPP (A- rating) did a 3/18-19 poll. Ryan was running 2-4 points behind Vance, Timken, and Mandel. Amy Acton, who since has stated she will not run, was between even and +2. If DeWine gets primaried or decides not to run, the R ticket takes a hard right turn. There is no cover in the suburbs that DeWine can provide. The Republican ticket after DeWine isn’t all that formidable right now, so it really looks like party organization and turnout. They don’t have another Voinovich, Kasich, or DeWine on the bench. They have Jim Jordan appealing to monosyllabic chuds drooling over Hannity replacement theory each night on Fox.
The future of Ohio politics depends on how fast the suburbs turn blue. Right now, there isn't an Atlanta, Philly, etc metro to run up the margins, because the suburbs are full of 50/60 something boomers, although this is (slowly) changing. I'm actually more bullish long term for Democrats, but bearish in the near term.
"Some may say, so he blew some seeds. It's just a dandelion. Is it? The democrats are trying to replace the beautiful thoroughbred grass that has always been the native ground cover with weed seeds that don't belong there. If that doesn't scare you then maybe you aren't a real American."
Rural Ohio isn’t voting blue any time in the near future. Trump won over half of Ohio’s counties by more than 70/30 vote, all of it rural. Biden out performed Clinton 2016 numbers in Ohio’s eight largest counties, but rural Ohio is a solid red block of non college whites. Biden would have out performed 2016 in the top 15 counties, but the two Mahoning Valley counties in Ryan’s district (Mahoning/Trumbull) and Lorain west of Cleveland went the other way.
Man, it really sucks when the government keeps stuff from people based on their color. Luckily, that's never happened in this country...
Midwestern farmers are the most predictable and whiniest group of federal subsidy leaches in this country. I can't stand the 'hard days work' image they get for their inherited 6 figure income that was guaranteed at birth. Literally their entire livelihood was given to them because of who they were born to
My wife and I will be moving from Nashville to Cincinnati (thanks P&G) next year. Two more rock solid Democrat-voting millennials who vote in every single type of election coming before the midterms.
It really is insane how fast rural Ohio has flipped. Columbus and Cincinnati burbs are rapidly changing too, but rural Ohio went full facist in 20 years
