This is a rare moment of bipartisanship. And a reliable indication that Darline Graham is a horrible, inexperienced nepo-candidate.

The "Queen of Gospel" Mahalia Jackson was born #OTD in 1911. "To speak of her voice is to speak of magic and mystery and majesty. Hers is not a voice. It is a force of nature. It moves with the power of a tornado and soothes with the tenderness of a spring rain." #MusicHistory #Music #MusicSky

REALLY. “High-Income Universal Healthcare Nations: Roughly 32 to 34 wealthy developed countries (such as Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and most of Western Europe) feature mature universal healthcare systems paired with stable, high-income economies.”

Worldwide there is enough wealth, food, and resources that nobody has to be poor, hungry, or homeless. The problem is that a small percentage of people are hoarding most of them so the rest of us get the scraps. I can’t imagine being so wealthy I can never spend it all yet doing no good with it.

Yeah because universal healthcare has crashed Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands. You know, these countries that have been in the top 10 of best places to live for decades.

It's not just inefficient for careers - universal health systems are much cheaper due to scale. In the UK we get the whole NHS for less dosh per-capita than Americans pay in tax just for Medicare & Medicaid.

Universal healthcare would supercharge the economy because way more people would either start businesses or move to more productive jobs as they wouldn't be worried about losing healthcare. The US is prosperous *in spite* of lacking universal healthcare, not *because* of that lack.

Very true. But remember that Todd Blanche will still be the AG and Trump will still be president. They can expose it, but criminal charges will probably have to wait until 2029.

Fun fact, Bernie's campaign manager Tad Devine was Paul Manafort's partner in a firm representing Russian oligarchs. Couldn't possibly be anything but a coincidence, right?

Which wouldn't have happened if we VOTED FOR HILLARY CLINTON. People don't realize that Trump appointed more justices & judges than any other pres in US history. Meanwhile, Sanders rep said the courts weren't important at all & we should vote for Republican plant Jill Stein to teach Dems a lesson

Because it involved the largest political conspiracy in US history, requiring a massive effort to gather evidence, compel co conspirators to give testimony, all while Trump appointed judges ran interference for him & R justices accepted every weak appeal & slow walked them til they ran out the clock
