We need #affordablehealthcareforall, not Medicare For All. Too dangerous for all of us to put all of our eggs in one basket: the Fed govt. Can't trust 'em. Fix the ACA exchanges so no one pays more than $100-$200/mo, similar to car insurance.

Great point. Bigger picture to always watch. Scary.

You know... I remember days when everyone testifying was very respectful and deferential to Congressmembers. No one dared to breach decorum. That goes for the R's who bully the witnesses who are testifying calmly. Decorum goes both ways and guess who is doing all the immature, bratty breaching? 🤔

I still think a surprise response force is deep in the background. You can't tell me our former leaders will just sit by in quiet retirement. They are unbelievably quiet. I'm hoping for a shadow force in the making. A few are out front as decoys. FYI- Retired military can be recalled to active svc.

The headline on this just now tells a scary story. He's threatening judges to rule his way or he'll invoke the Insurrection Act and bypass all the courts.

Exactly. There's no standing up publicly. What do you do when the town vet comes rolling up w two big US flags on back? Or the weekly social hour is over at the Rod & Gun club? Town Notary has a desk in Shorty's Engine Shop? You get shunned quickly if you don't play ball... if "she's not one of us".

Good start. It needs to reach some MAGAs to change hearts and minds so they realize they've been duped. They're calling the Never Trumpers traitors and ignoring them. What's underreported is the impact of peer pressure within MAGA. Many are decent but in small towns you don't dare cross MAGA.

"Professionalusm"? Long gone. Bigger question: how do we restore a Truth Center within journalism vis a vis Walter Cronkite?

Yeah... the underlings want to make rank. They'll stay and comply. Generals can retire out when they've had enough.

Yeah... and you know who does get free healthcare? Baby momma whites & white Medicaid fraudsters who are at home and not contributing to the economy. No flames 🔥. I've seen it. Immigrants work hard & contribute. R's protect their own and make immigrants and easy boogey-man bc they look different 😡.

Well, not sure now. I wouldn't want the entire populace under one payor: our US govt. Imagine the power they have... with a stroke of the pen, they will control us. I am full gov't healthcare and since Jan 20, I never know what s*itshow they're gonna hand us. I would feel safer w low cost exchanges.

Cuffs and perp walks are usually reserved for those resisting arrest and/or trying to flee. Comey actually happily said "Well then, let's have a trial." That trial would be enjoyable to watch. 😊

It's not just him. His cabal is mentally ill. Who, in their right and moral mind, feasts on inflicting pain and cruelty on other humans? And have no sense of boundaries? Noem... ICE... Miller... Vought... Vance... Johnson... Bondi... Patel... Hegseth...

My rep! 👏👏. Very level-headed but goes straight to the point.

This is bad. WE need to dominate this space with teachibg our real history and govt operations, not the lyin' R's.

Rahm Emmanuel. Pit bull.

Then we need to start branding this as REAGAN EMERGENCY MEDICAID, over and over again. Give it its full name of all 3 title words.

TBF, when I studied this in International Law, the reason the ICC was sketchy back then was bc whose body of laws is used? Our defendant rights and prosecutorial mandates are borne from our US Const. Each country is different. Ex. In Germany, the Judge, from the bench, may cross-ex a Witness!

What fat generals is hegseth referring to? Unless it's all muscle. Veteran here. I had to weigh in and make weight every year. All of us do, including all flag ranks.

I hope she or her family sue for breach of family privacy for some very big numbers with several commas.

Big smile 😀. Happy sound. youtu.be/6gYPomrC7EU?...

Fox doesn't surprise me. Sinclair also owns a smaller ABC affiliate in Lancaster-Harrisburg and of course in western PA like Altoona and Pittsburgh. But at least not huge Phila-south Jersey market. That's me.

Interesting tidbit. WPVI ABC Phila/New Jersey is self-owned. We do not (yet) have an intermediary owner-distributor.

Woo-Hoo! Looks like ABC in Philadelphia is safe! It's not on this list.

It will be interesting how Sinclair's contract is written with ABC and Kimmel's with ABC. It is said that these contracts have a max limit on # of pre-emption nights per year on said show. If so, and if Sinclair exceeds those, they are in breach of contract with ABC. That will be interesting...

And a related misunderstanding of the motives of behavior. I got the feeling from the clips of CK's "love of dialog" that his main motive was an ultimate game of gotcha: encourage dialog not for empathy but to look to deliver the best punch & score the win. A master at the game of verbal combat.

This "event" is insanely thru the looking glass. Can't wait till MSNBC cuts away. Trump speaking now. Protocol is news goes wherever the POTUS is.

How about the part where she proclaimed "God is love, not hate. Charlie loved so much. He loved everyone, hated no one." Me thinking: hmmm 🤔 does that include all the DEI minorities he thought were intellectual incapable and inferior? Really?

This is soooo painful...

I'm in the camp of: they have no MLK in the R's so they're trying to create an "equivalent" one to dilute MLK. Someone else also mentioned Horst Wessel. Google him. This is a possibility too. Same theory - they have no icon so they are creating one.
