Watch him be the one that starts the electoral schism of the Republican party

False equivalency. They. Are. Not. The. Same.
Do both parties have some issues in common? Sure. Does our system need reform? Absolutely. But just because there is some overlap in the Venn diagram that is our political system does not make them the same. At least the democrats are trying to govern.

Everything the man does is transactional. Support me and I’ll support you (for a little while anyway). Fuck me and I fuck you

The wheels of democracy turn slowly, but they do turn. Should it have gotten anywhere close to this far? Hell no. But this does bring me some very very cautious optimism.

Especially if it’s a cock ring

I liked it when it first came out and now. That base line bullshit they added in S3 on the other hand…

Hear me out: If the GOP could just, I don’t know, at least talk to the other 49% of the House, they may be able to get at least some of the things they want.

Apparently I’m really optimistic today.

The new uniforms have something like that too:
Command
Science
Coms/Engineering

Up until a couple years ago, the Pacifica was the only hybrid available. The Sienna has a hybrid now. But that’s it.

True, but this is House bullshit, not the Senate

Want to find the money? Increase the ability of the IRS to perform more audits. The richest folks are already not paying the taxes they should be. $688 billion per year!

I really liked it when the show first started. I thought the divergence from the regular formula at the time was a nice change. The theme of the song was also on point for the theme of the show - humanity coming into their own on the galactic stage. I’m in the middle of my first rewatch since the show first aired. I still like it. As for adding a base line to it in season 3…WTF?

Not surprising. This was the time before antibiotics, medical treatments were often lacking in any sort of evidence, and there were no widespread vaccines. Chronic conditions in the young were far more common than today - think latent tuberculosis, after effects of polio, rheumatic heart disease, parasites, chronic environmental lung diseases (silicosis, coal miners lung, etc.). Even basic nutrition wasn’t sufficient in many areas of society.

Deep cut! I first heard of and saw that show in college. It’s great!

You are correct. But what Austin Powers was referencing was this scene from The Prisoner. Top notch 60’s TV!

In the context of insurance, absolutely.

When it comes to health care delivery (clinics, hospitals, etc), you have to define more of what you mean. These places need to make a little money on the care they provide because they need to buy new equipment when the old stuff dies, fix the roof, repair stuff, etc. If those places are not making a profit, they will eventually die.

Now if you mean a profit that goes to anything but maintaining the ability to deliver care (e.g. shareholders), that is despicable. There is no place for shareholders in a healthcare company.

That is why Medicare can administer funds cheaper than an insurance company. No shareholders!

Do the police compare DNA to genealogy databases? The odds the person used one is low, but maybe a family member?

I am also waiting to see what comes of the difference in memory sizes between Cleon I and the clones. What is being edited out of their memories? Is Demerzel the caretaker of this (assuming this was Cleon I’s design). Or, is Demerzel playing the long game. I suspect she may be behind the genetic tainting of the line and perhaps even the assassination attempt.
