Open Thread For July 5, 2017
Obamacare ‘Working As Intended’. The source? Department of Health & Human Services. Neither Trump nor Tom Price will be pleased.
Head Of Phony Voter Fraud Commission Sued For Hatch Act Violation. This Kris Kobach guy thinks he can get away with it. Once Trump packs the courts, he likely will.
Blatant Conflict-of-Interest Between Rethugs and Big Pharma Company. He was going to divest…until he didn’t. Featuring HHS Sec’y Tom Price.
Only ‘Self-Restraint’ Preventing War With North Korea. Thank goodness our president is the very model of self-restraint. Oh, wait.
Appeals Court Rejects EPA’s Methane Rule Delay. Until Trump packs the courts, the courts are all we have.
What do you want to talk about?
“Obamacare ‘Working As Intended’” HHS document clearly shows that Republicans leadership across the country are full of shit, I mean mere propaganda. (How did that invective get in there? And Marco Rubio objecting in such a way that it raised the cost to consumers? How many Republicans run for office not on what they can do for you, but what they will do to the Americans who Republicans say, “deserve nothing”? Not one of the candidates for prez in 2016 campaigned on a platform of public service, instead they all railed against the “other” and extended that venum when focused on the very people who need the most help from the rest of us. During my lifetime, people groused about taxes, that’s normal, but I’ve never seen the type or intensity of propaganda directed against anyone deemed “other” by Republicans that I see today. This includes the insane desire to strip the ACA away from people who need help. In other times, this would itself be deemed “unAmerican”. Now the fashionable thing to do is hate, excoriate, dehumanize and kick to the curb our fellows.
I hope everyone saw the conservative reaction to NPR tweeting out the Declaration of Independence: They condemned it.
But never buy into the myth that Americans are more stupid than ever. Sadly, no:

Jesus was a radical leftist anarchist. I read it in a book. Up is down.
