That's the most important part...? haha
Everyone ITT makes everything a left or right issue... he isn’t unique.Or he could just post the article without making it about left or right like any other functioning poster on the board, and we could discuss the merits of the article, which is what I'm trying to do, yet it's being viewed as me "digging into my trench" because he decided to make this a left or right issue.
Yet your altruistic attempt to have this discussion included a "you do you" tone.Or he could just post the article without making it about left or right like any other functioning poster on the board, and we could discuss the merits of the article, which is what I'm trying to do, yet it's being viewed as me "digging into my trench" because he decided to make this a left or right issue.
No, that's his game.Because he made a left and right issue out of something that wasn't when he posted the article. The tone of the article being posted was already tainted by his commentary, which he has consistently done in the past and then acts like he has no idea why everyone is riled up.
Am I going crazy here or...?

They weren't protesters, they were rioters. They are all charged with felonies, including arson, rioting, etc.So they had antifi ID cards on them? Is 15 minutes too far to drive to stand up for one's freedoms? Is money bail not inherently unjust in that it creates an environments where the well to do can go about their daily life while awaiting trial versus the poor having to wait in prison? For setting a dumpster on fire, also known as a Mountaineer Victory Party?
I mean, the protests shouldn't have taken place, those convicted should face penalties, and we've all agreed the actions of the officer were warranted. But the rhetoric is a bit thick.
It just seems like a dumb hill to die on from his position. I can see if these were protesters that are charged with a misdemeanor for blocking traffic, but it sounds like they are all very deserving of felonies.Taylor Enterline, 20, charged with arson, institutional vandalism, riot, failure to disperse, obstructing highways and other public passages, disorderly conduct, and defiant trespass. She had a firearm but doesn't appear to have a charge for that at this time.
Annnnnnd......... so......... what, exactly? Even if accurate (which it probably isn't) why does that merit a call out?'No I’m bad at explaining. Most every muh guns muh 2nd amendment people also talk about protection from government overreach in the same breath.
.
They were completely silent when that government overreach was happening
That government overreach was happening to people who generally hate the 2nd amendment people.
Literally everyone I know that has a negative view of the ACA falls into this group, and I can understand their frustration. I'm not really sure why this little band of income-level people had to have their premiums skyrocket. I get the politics of why it hasn't been fixed, but I'm cloudy on why it became a thing in the first place.-the ACA does not do well to serve the "still not well off but too rich for obamacare" group, If you make over 400% of Federal Poverty Level (which is by no means a lot of money), you get no subsidy and have to pay the full premiums, which are not cheap
You can't opt-out of sickness.Forcing people to spend a substantial amount of money is governmental overreach. The car insurance rebuttal is flawed - you have the choice of just not driving. Whats the alternative for not having health insurance in that instance?
It is one of those post-WWII policies that is no longer sustainable.The employer-based model is objectively stupid.
That and higher education, things that a functional legislature would address.It is one of those post-WWII policies that is no longer sustainable.The employer-based model is objectively stupid.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/election ... 7EX33EAV2UWhite House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said Wednesday that Trump will release a long-promised health-care plan before the election, blaming repeated delays on efforts to craft something that can be accomplished largely without Congress.
Trump on multiple occasions has pledged to be on the verge of releasing a plan within weeks, only to let his self-imposed deadlines pass. During a town hall hosted by ABC News on Tuesday night, Trump told a voter that he has a comprehensive plan “ready to go,” prompting host George Stephanopoulos to note that Trump had not released one during his first 3½ years in office.
Asked about that Wednesday, Meadows told reporters that Trump was correct.
“It is all ready,” Meadows said. “We will be rolling it out before the election, sure. … He’s right, that it is ready.”
