I’m convinced by the marketing geniuses at USA Interior. How about you? Ready for all the particulates and toxins? Do these dumb fucks really think that all these gas fired utilities will ditch their multimillion dollar turbines and go back?

theguardian.com‘It’s sick’: Trump administration uses mascot called ‘Coalie’ to push dirtiest fossil fuelCartoon lump of coal with giant eyes was spotlighted by US interior secretary in X post saying: ‘Mine, Baby, Mine!’

Are you rethinking the super efficient furnace in your house? Ready to have the coal dumped into your basement so you can shovel it into the boiler to heat your house?

Jamie Pollard and his multimedia wiz kids make Hilton a miserable, headache-inducing, literally hearing-damaging experience. Gin it up to ear-splitting levels at every opportunity. That’s not magic, it’s a sound assault. Oh, and the hour-long post game parking lot gridlock sucks, too. 👎👎👎👎👎

the healthcare that you may need. Americans should take the scales off their eyes and stop trying to find reasons for not moving to a Medicare-for-all model, but alas, the entrenched monied interests will never allow the simplest solutions to prevail.

We already have socialism in the way that healthcare is paid for, but it is the most ridiculous and least effective way of delivering healthcare. If politicians and everyone else would just get over petty political labels, the least expensive insurance option is the biggest pool of people.

without the additional cost of dividends to shareholders. Lastly, as far as the whole capitalism-socialism debate goes, could we just please admit that insurance is a form of socializing the overall cost of ANY hazard. We are literally all contributing to the pot of money from which we hope to draw

in the event some peril occurs. The true craziness is that anyone thinks they need to preserve the current system where your economic caste determines whether you are able to pool with enough people to get sufficient coverage to not have to go into your own reserves (or just go bankrupt) to obtain

policies, rules, regulators, and profit motives. People always have complained and always will complain about how expensive things are, and medicine is no different. IMHO, the cost of healthcare is driven by too many factors to be overly sure about blaming any particular one, but the biggest one

is that American sacred cow: capitalism. While I believe in capitalism, IMHO the profit motive in healthcare is a huge factor killing Americans’ ability to get cost effective healthcare services and pharmaceuticals. At least, I wonder what would happen if there were fair and reasonable compensation

BTW, everyone says “healthcare is broken,“ but rarely does anyone say how or why. I have interacted with the healthcare system A LOT this past year with great insurance coverage and the BEST treatment. I count myself fortunate. The healthcare professionals and pharmaceuticals have been world class.

Hands down, it has been the best treatment one could hope for. The cost paid by insurance has been kind of crazy. Everyone send to agree that everything is too expensive and complicated. The complicated criticism it seems to me is driven entirely by prolix insurance companies and their Byzantine

It cannot be repeated enough to Rural America: 🍊🤡💩 killed you with tariffs, paid Argentina $20B which took your market and left you bankrupt, but you don’t have to worry about paying your undocumented workers because there won’t be any nor crops to sell. And you are safe to disparage trans people.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Now that they have a couple of courts a okaying and have done all their normalizing…

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Phony Joni again lying about the underlying problem (stupid 🍊🤡💩 tariff policies) and fixes.

Joni Ernst: "Unfortunately, our farmers do need that assistance. They don't like it. They consider it welfare. They want trade, not aid. So we really need to see some of these new markets opening up around the globe ... but if there's anybody that can make a deal, it's President Trump."

Um… you people voted for the maga 🤡 show, and you need to take your medicine…. (I know you won’t, but you should.) PS The Chinese are not coming back because of the 🍊🤡💩, so good luck with your beans.

These guys either think that they are going to be in charge forever or that there won’t be a reckoning for blatantly illegal action when they aren’t. Support candidates that will bring the reckoning.

Note that the first response is an admission that POTUS is nuts, and the second is just BS avoidance.

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Most evil comments of the day: «“With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, [Department of] Homeland Security and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy these networks,” Miller said». He’s talking about YOU.
