All hail the individual mandate. If you drive a car, you must have insurance. If you exist, you must have healthcare coverage. Sorry Repubs, it has gotta happen.

As bad as Christie sucked towards last 6 years of term, Corzine was worse

the butthurt is strong

NO, I'm saying you are an idiot, which you must know is true.

That's nothing. Trump will get in office, grab some pussy, and award himself the Distinguished Pubic Service Medal.

"POLL - How many people want free stuff taken away?

Yes - 16%
No - 84%

Did our handout society ever give you doubt?"

Free stuff? I thought Ironman posted every day on here how expensive Obamacare is.

Nice job on the shotgun retouching...

The true meaning of patnet, as the founding parents expected...

T L Lips says

can only mean your problem with it all now is partisanship

He got a bridge closed though.

wow.
So you are implying that russia telling hillary where to campaign is a fact.
Looks like the russkies were in control of this election from both sides right from the start...

Paul Ryan: ‘Russia didn't tell Hillary Clinton not to go to Wisconsin or Michigan’. They didn’t put the server in her basement or put the stuff on Anthony Weiner’s laptop

I think you are mixing opinions such as above

Tim Aurora says

( That Russians hacked the election)

What exactly do you mean by hacked the election?

I know you're a bit slow, but I was responding to your last sentence. As is typical.

"Christie being a Repub, has had to deal with the same Blue state congress, so there ain't a heck he can get done."

The intelligence community has been routinely lying to Americans for decades. Snowden's leak made it very obvious, and irrefutable. How can you possibly be surprised that Americans are skeptical of what they say?
To blindly believe in the alphabet soup's decrees at this point would be like investing in a new hedge fund administered by Bernie Madoff.

What gets me is Obama came in office touting himself as the Transparent president.
The very first three whistleblowers he encountered he made them enemies of the state.

Snowden
Manning
Asange

If it does not have the confidence of America, America cannot lead the world. I guess, Trumpites are OK with that, and he is the President.

Maybe Trumpies use their brains in life instea dof blidnly following what the left says -like braindead zombies?

Iraq had WMD "intellegince" lead to the war in iraq and 1,000s of young American dead. ISIS is junior varsity-that is intelligence too.

Hopefully Trump has the sense to question, challenge and thoroughly analyze the intelligence community and not drag us into another iraq war or beleiev ISIS is junior varsity. Lefties-brain is a beautiful thing to waste.

"Being the idiot that you are, what does closing a lane to a bridge have to do with Christie having to deal with a Blue congress????"

Wow--you really are slow. You said "so there ain't a heck he can get done". I said--he was able to get a bridge closed. He found a way to get that done...

It is amazing that Harwood still has a job. Donna Barzile nut still seems to make a living as a talking head on the Georgey Stevens show.

This isn't journalism at all. It is sponsored promotionals.

Tim Aurora says

Paul Ryan accepts that Russians hacked the election

That's not what the article says, not even remotely, nor is it true. Russia did not hack the elections. That's a blatant falsehood. Russia hacked into the DNC campaign servers, copied emails, and then released them to the world. The DNC campaign servers are not the election.

Saying that Russia hacked the elections is like saying someone who plays the stereo in their car loud enough for other drivers to hear has hacked the highway transportation system. It is a ridiculous claim, and those who make it should not be taken seriously.

People aren't asking for free health care. They are asking for affordable healthcare with reasonable costs that won't bankrupt them the first time they get sick. The fact is that capitalism has completely failed to provide decent affordable health care. If capitalism worked for health care, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Yep--and there are so many other systems out there that we could copy/model our system on. Systems that deliver better healthcare for much, much less money. It shouldn't be this difficult.

Hey - what do you think Trump's son and daughter in law are going to do for privacy in their shack a few blocks away?

Probably the same things that allow Carlos Slim to drive his own car down streets of Mexico City without any kind of security detail; something like aid and abet the russian mob, similarly to how Slim aids and abets the el chapo types in mexico.

TROLL THREAD!

TROLL THREAD!

He also funded massive border walls in Jordan and Tunisia, too. With US taxpayer dollars.

Tim Aurora says

And that is the problem with America. The intelligence of a country is its "intelligence". It is what decides the strategy vis-a-vis our enemies. If it does not have the confidence of America, America cannot lead the world. I guess, Trumpites are OK with that, and he is the President. Well it was good till it lasted . Lets give the reigns to China and Russia.

Democrats: 1965-2016 "Question Authority!"
Democrats: 2016- "How DARE you question the authorities?"

They had their chance; GOPe have to maintain their power; if Trump paints them as uncooperative and recalcitrant against bills that the public supports in principle, they will be on hot seat. He can do this all day long and even if nothing gets done, he will use social media to pass any heat on him to others.

You got it.

The Establishment is against the Reformer, shock of shocks. That never happens in World History. He'll likely will fail and bebesmirched in the process. Then the Establishment is really in trouble.

Ryan has been against Trump since day one, his mentor was an Establishment convicted Pedophile named Hastert. When he wasn't structuring payments to get around bank reporting requirements. Trump's real problem is the GOPe: Graham, McCain, McConnell, Ryan, and others hate him, they like it the way it is.

cant use this article, it is from 2013, long before Bezos took over WaPo

Folks, you can't make this shit up....

Why would you ? It's called security. He's going to have a detail of secret service protecting him for the rest of his life. This was very easily their idea.

Do you know the definition of hypocrisy ? I'd love to hear your explanation of the hypocrisy going on here.

Ego baiting Trump: he can't admit that Russians did the hack. That would force him to admit that the election was rigged and undermine his victory.

Cool. All part of draining the swamp!

I would quit too if I couldn't lead from behind.
America questions our Intelligence community.
They have lied and lied and lied.

Logan will tweet that he will suck Trump's penis and work his balls if Trump or his surrogates re-publish Logan's "professional" biography (that was written by Logan, himself, which makes it a professional autobiography).

Trump likes that kind of shameless, grandiose self-promotion.

Maybe Logan can create about 100 different Patrick.net user accounts to tell everyone how "they' attended one of Logan's exciting speeches at the airport Holiday Inn Express to hear about reverse mortgages and refis.

I only tweeted once in my life, to tell Lebron what a little bitch he was for The Announcement. Had an account for all of five minutes. Seems to have worked too, I remember Lebron tweeting something whiny about being picked on, hilarious!

Why would a Russian operative lie?

Why are you red and not green then?

Bating Trumpligula with passive aggressive sorties designed to enrage and frustrate his narcissism, until he tears his hair out in big, orange cotton candy clumps, sounds enticing. However, haven't the foggiest how twitter works.

RealEstateIsBetterThanStocks says

it is going to be delayed until the 20th. Useless's laywers will present the "evidence" in a bunch of suitcases filled with toilet paper.

I heard there will be a "Public" version and a "Decision-maker" version. Both will be full of circumstantial shit, but this will allow Lindsay Graham, McCain, Pelosi, etc. to say "Indisputable Truth! We have a separate version with the more sekrit evidence."

Again, who ELSE hacked into the DNC Server. Preferably asked while somebody is under oath. They're not telling you there are many, many other groups that hacked into the DNC.

Who was the first to accuse Russia?

Crowdstrike, hired by the Democrats. How conveeeeeeeenient they decided it was Russia.

What gets me is they go from one pile of shit on to the next. It's not like they had all of these tinfoil hat conspiracy theories going at the same time.
They get the shit kicked out of them on one, they come back with a new one.

NPR today the theme was Trump all about Trump. But they want to lead the narrative, they want to smear his name his supporters, lie about associations, make wild accusations. But then the minute he Tweets and calls them all an Idiot with 144 characters or less. They all scream in tandem "Oh my God why wont he go away. Trump makes everything about HIM! Waaah aaaah haaaah!!!!"

NPR's thought specialists are really losing their edge. They have turned into Putz Practitioners.

They don't realize that non-super partisan democrats are already sick of the smears.
