    Powerful and impressive piece of art. A picture is worth a thousand words, but can contain just as many if so desired.
    Time covers have been killing it these past few years.
    Something something lib'rul media something something fake news something something facts and book learning is fer coastal elites something something
    The age of Trump.

    When people can say stupid stuff like this and think they have a valid point.

    "One word: Professors. Lol.  Too funny.  Like anyone should care what academics that couldn't cut it in the real world say."  
    Burn your books! Close the schools! We don't need no....


    Beware of any groups that vilify academia or higher learning.


    It's almost as if no one has learned anything from history.

    Yeah, and while we're at it, let's throw some gas on stay at home parents. Just fucking losers who can't get a job.
    You guys might need to go back to school if you have a difficult time understanding what I was saying.  It was nowhere close to what crazy extent you took it to.

    Teachers teach.  Doers do.  Sometimes they cross, but often times those that take shelter in academia have a lot of non-real world applicable knowledge. And while they can teach us things, they can't actually apply things.  That's for the doers.  So, the fact that 1,000 liberal lawyers that take shelter in such bastions of impartiality as academia thinks or says something is completely nonsensical

    Furthermore, I'll give you the bigger hint - how many lawyers are there? 1,000 saying something seems like there's a large amount NOT saying that.  

    Now, before your simpleness takes that to an extreme, no that does not mean the rest agree or don't agree.  But, as many say about Trump's supporters - just because you're the loudest doesn't make you right. It just makes you the loudest.

    Oh. And sorry you lost.  The beauty and genius of our framers is that you can now elect a Democrat House and Senate and in 2 years you can elect a Democrat President and you can continue to do so until the Court flips the way you want it.  And the pendulum will continue to swing.

    Honestly, I find the whole thing funny b/c this fight is really about abortion and choice which most people would agree with you on, yet you've somehow managed to make this a Constitutional fight that you are completely wrong about.  You'd be better to voice that concern instead of the stupidity of the Democrats that plays right into Trump's hands in that he's diverted everyone's attention from the real issue.

    So, for the record, if that was your argument, I'd agree with you. I hope choice stays in place. I actually believe it will b/c if the Supreme Court ever overturns Roe v Wade (which I actually believe they won't, but if they do), Congress will enact a STRONGER law to protect it while local courts put stays and other legal things in place to allow choice to continue until such a thing happens. Why? Because our framers are geniuses and created checks and balances and ways to shift power over time that makes sure the people's voices are heard even if there's times the pendulum swings too far one way at a particular time.

    So, keep Trump in power by diverting from the issues and fighting battles not only can't you win but shouldn't.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    So it didn’t take Billions of dollars away from Medicare benificiaries?   Is that the assertion you’d like to go with?

    In one 'whatabout' you managed to tell 4 falsehoods.  Impressive.

    1) bill wasn't rammed thru - the ACA was debated in three House committees and two Senate committees, and subject to hours of bipartisan debate that allowed for the introduction of amendments
    2) Obamacare cut $716 billion from Medicare in order to fund $1.9 trillion in new health care spending (I'll let you do the math on that one)
    3) Health care costs are declining
    4) the bill was read - 
    In June and July 2009, with Democrats in charge, the Senate health committee spent nearly 60 hours over 13 days marking up the bill that became the Affordable Care Act. That September and October, the Senate Finance Committee worked on the legislation for eight days — its longest markup in two decades. It considered more than 130 amendments and held 79 roll-call votes. The full Senate debated the health care bill for 25 straight days before passing it on Dec. 24, 2009.

    Also, you misspelled '
    beneficiaries'.  So are you lying or just willfully ignorant?

    It takes so much effort to remain willfully ignorant in this day and age.  In spite of facts people actually choose to go with falsehoods and are proud of it in addition to the morons they vote for.

    Correct.  And they are calling me willfully ignorant.  

    Funny thing is, Obama’s would agree with the assessment it has increased healthcare costs as that was his intention.  

    I also like how they are both ok with significant reduced spending on senior citizens healthcare via the Medicare program.  Pathetic. To hell with them!  They’ll be dead soon anyway!

    I’m not.  I know exactly what I’m talking about.  Yes, that goes directly to that, but overall trend has not abated, but quite the opposite.  And, yes the expansion of Medicaid has contributed so wnat you are referring to does feed and is a cause of the overall expense increase.

    I guess if healthcare spending is such a priority for you, you should have abandoned conservatives when they pulled their big Medicare Part D chicanery.

    3) Health care costs are declining
    4) the bill was read - In June and July 2009, with Democrats in charge, the Senate health committee spent nearly 60 hours over 13 days marking up the bill that became the Affordable Care Act. That September and October, the Senate Finance Committee worked on the legislation for eight days — its longest markup in two decades. It considered more than 130 amendments and held 79 roll-call votes. The full Senate debated the health care bill for 25 straight days before passing it on Dec. 24, 2009.

    Also, you misspelled 'beneficiaries'.  So are you lying or just willfully ignorant?
    Where are you getting declinig?
    from all accounts I’ve seen it’s skyrocketing, that’s the whole reason for the push for a universal system.

    Oh. And sorry you lost.  The beauty and genius of our framers is that you can now elect a Democrat House and Senate and in 2 years you can elect a Democrat President and you can continue to do so until the Court flips the way you want it.  And the pendulum will continue to swing.

    Honestly, I find the whole thing funny b/c this fight is really about abortion and choice which most people would agree with you on, yet you've somehow managed to make this a Constitutional fight that you are completely wrong about.  You'd be better to voice that concern instead of the stupidity of the Democrats that plays right into Trump's hands in that he's diverted everyone's attention from the real issue.

    So, for the record, if that was your argument, I'd agree with you. I hope choice stays in place. I actually believe it will b/c if the Supreme Court ever overturns Roe v Wade (which I actually believe they won't, but if they do), Congress will enact a STRONGER law to protect it while local courts put stays and other legal things in place to allow choice to continue until such a thing happens. Why? Because our framers are geniuses and created checks and balances and ways to shift power over time that makes sure the people's voices are heard even if there's times the pendulum swings too far one way at a particular time.

    So, keep Trump in power by diverting from the issues and fighting battles not only can't you win but shouldn't.

    Am I to infer you voted for Trump?

    Hahahahhahahahahahahaha

    I'll give you this: at least you admitted it.

    You two are both confusing health care costs with insurance cost.

    Seeing how healthcare is now required by law, and that is what most families pay, how is that not relevant when discussing the increased costs?
    And if cost of health care has gone down, then why force people to pay more for health insurance?
    In the end the average family pays for more for medical care than they did 10 years ago. BecUse of Obamacare I pay thousands more each year for worse coverage than I had before. Millions of others do too, so I don’t know why you would defend the cost of “health care.”

    I’m not.  I know exactly what I’m talking about.  Yes, that goes directly to that, but overall trend has not abated, but quite the opposite.  And, yes the expansion of Medicaid has contributed so wnat you are referring to does feed and is a cause of the overall expense increase.  



    Yet the idiot in chief with both houses on his side they couldn’t come up with anything better than ACÁ how many years did they have to get a plan in place ?

    I've never understood why so many people don't see what you just said?  Why party first and country second?

    Kavanaugh has been in the company of conservatives in Washington for years.  Worked with them closely.  I just can't see him being "balanced" in the court room...

    A partisan liar on the bench. I don't really care if he is for or against Roe v. Wade or any other case I may not agree with. People will have differing opinions about that and other highly contested cases, but the fact that he is a partisan liar should be a common theme all of the country should be able to agree on. This isn't a political position so politics need to be put aside. This is all about winning by one side right now and it fucking sucks for this country.
    It's a hopeless situation...
