After looking at that omnibus bill, does *anybody* still want our govt in charge of our health insurance? Anybody in their right mind, I mean. I don't think they even have the capability to expand medicaid at this point without fucking it up and sending money to Israel, Pakistan, Sudan.

Yes, you have plenty of idiots adopting Bernie's logic of "if we can spend X amount of money on Z, then we can afford to have universal healthcare/"free" college/etc."

Bernie logic is flawed to the point where Z has to be cut to pay for it, Z isn’t getting cut

Anyone who had experience with unemployment benefits in 2020 will be a poster child for being against government-run anything, especially health care.  Try calling someone at the unemployment benefits office and live through that (if you can), then think about having govt in charge of your health care.  Of course, if we are that stupid, then we deserve it.

Lol fucking clowns

The prayer to open the 117th Congress ended with "amen and a-women."

Amen is Latin for "so be it."

It's not a gendered word.

For sure.  Tax dollars are getting to travel with each student (which they do in public schools anyway).  But now private schools are gonna get rich.

You think private schools want inner city kids in them? U haven’t been paying attention. If they don’t want to live by you they definitely don’t want you in a classroom with their child. Good athletes and maybe some handpicked students at best.

Right, as if crime has absolutely nothing to do with that equation.

People pay 20-40k specifically to send their kids to a school without public school children.

I didnt ever think that the private catholic school down the street was taking the average kid from the block.  Private schools will have the $ to expand (if they want), and they will surely only take kids that have something to offer (sports, 4.0 GPA, performing arts abilities).  

The outcome of this is going to be that good schools stay good and bad schools will stay bad.    Likely even worse.  Just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

no charges in Jacob Blake case....so how many fires will be started tonight in Kenosha?

Thanks Georgia, we are all screwed.

$3+ gallon of gas (which is basically  a tax)

Higher taxes

Economic regulations, means higher unemployment

Selling out to China 

Massive illegal migration (here comes another 11 million free loaders)

Antifa and BLM just getting emboldened.

Massive spending that surely will push deficit into the $30 trillion range (when does that start to erode the stock market?)

I guess the GOP is going to go back to pretending they care about our debt after a 4 year break.

The establishment (as has been clearly defined in the last four years) cares little about debt and deficits; Trump has pulled the curtain back for all to see the collective graft, corruption, swindling, and buy-offs.  The curtain will be closing soon; you will be served limited information and you will obey.

Calif. to regulate natural gas for new homes

The California Energy Commission plans to introduce regulations that would prohibit natural gas used for hot water and home heating in new homes. The rules, which would take effect in 2023, are designed to promote energy-efficient construction.

Yup

We have tryouts coming up I'm very excited. If you are blue lives/all lives matter or a Trump supporter don't bother bringing your child. If we lose certain kids so be it. We will not be attending any events in Louisville. At some point Black folks need to stop selling out. pic.twitter.com/RQfkvRDnUt

The problem with so many men coaching on the girls side(CLUB/HS) of basketball are the head games & egos. I 👀 a lot of sucka 💩 going on. Some of these grown men forget its not about us. The kid's names should ring out more than ours. They are easy to spot #suckafree😉 pic.twitter.com/Ty78RjH0eJ

Tweet he had back in August about the kids names ringing out more than adults. Unless they vote for Trump. Then fuck the kids. 

Just lol. His picture here says athlete first but five months later it’s “if their views don’t align with mine then oh well they aren’t playing.” What a hypocritical dick.
