I like baseball, good food and drink, and the beach. I also very much dislike living through a Sinclair Lewis novel at the present time in history

His attacks on the ACA are kinda ironic. I understand that Americans have the memory of goldfish, but during his last term they made changes to the ACA which he claimed โ€œfixed itโ€โ€ฆthen it got worst.

What kills me is:

1: this all was obvious to anyone with a brain and we were al screaming it from the rooftops

2: it hasnโ€™t even been a year yet!

I mean, good for them for starting to put 2 and 2 together NOW, but JFCโ€ฆ

Was in a store and that song โ€œIf I Had a Million Dollarsโ€ came on and I was like

โ€œHow the hell he gonna buy her a house for a million dollars? What is this? 2005?โ€

Why d I get the feeling his next announcement is the ACA to be replaced with PayDay loans

Oh ok. Fire at will then

As far as I know neither of the VA senators are supporting it.

I mean, if either do, go for it, but letโ€™s pick targets and not fire wildly

Again, this isnโ€™t in Schumer. Schumer is against this already.

You need to call:

Sens. Angus King (Maine), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Maggie Hassan (NH).

Not for nothing, but lot of you are calling out the wrong cats.
This isnโ€™t a play by leadership. Itโ€™s a play by the โ€œpurple state renegadesโ€ so you need to be directing you calls to them ASAP:

Sens. Angus King (Maine), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Maggie Hassan (NH).

I do as well, but New Hampshire is kinda a red state. Itโ€™s going to be tough to leverage them.
Got to basically just call anyone in a โ€˜purpleโ€™ district and hammer them, since nobody knows who the other defectors are yet

10.11.2025 00:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

To get them called out early though, the 3 dem senators that are trying to push it through are: Sens. Angus King (Maine), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Maggie Hassan (NH).

So New Hampshire and Maine leading the charge it seems

The โ€œtweetโ€ says the leadership would vote against it.

Right now nothing has happened

09.11.2025 23:59 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Not for nothing, but letโ€™s save the doom for if it does happen. Thus far nothing has.

But it is a wake up to make sure your senator hears from you

09.11.2025 23:58 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It does say the leadership is voting against it. So this assumes several renegade Dem senators.

That said, hasnโ€™t happened yet

Ok.
Iโ€™m being really serious here: has anyone asked him WTF heโ€™s talking about?

09.11.2025 21:24 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I canโ€™t recall there ever being another president, even Bush W, where I spent even 1/5th the time listening to a proclamation they made and going: โ€œWTF does that mean!โ€

Communism is a stateless society with the abolition of private property.

Socialism is state ownership of private property, specifically the means of production.

What everyone actually means: liberal democracy with a strong social welfare system and progressive taxation.

The problem with these discussions is NOBODY uses these term correctly.

Weโ€™ve definitely resigned to if ever buying going to the burbs. Not too bad honestly, as the Westchester cities are nice, and thereโ€™s decent transit.
Even then though, still talking between 600k-800k, unless go all the way up to Peekskill.

Iโ€™m fortunate in that my rent isnโ€™t bad and hasnโ€™t gone up in 10 years. Which makes another wild observation. Theyโ€™ve built a lot of new apartments in my neighborhood the last couple years, and the rents on them are $1000 more than Iโ€™m paying for same size place.

In 1999, my grandpa died. Had the house in Queens he bought on a window washer salary back in the 60s. Mom and uncle sold it. It went for $230k.

I looked it up about 10 year ago. It was $800k.

I looked it up on Zillow just now. Itโ€™s $1.3m.

I make 6 figures, canโ€™t afford a houseโ€ฆ

Iโ€™ve been told thereโ€™s a possibly he might push Shania Law through the city council.

Truth is thoughโ€ฆthat donโ€™t impress me much.
