It's crazy, there is so much institutional resistance to applying the law to our ruling class.

Make no mistake, this busing is kidnapping and human trafficking. A civil case is not enough.

No need to defend Jared. He got several huge loans while was Trump in office.

Here's a link to one of them: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sec-drops-probe-after-company-gives-loan-to-jared-kushners-family-firm/

Polling making it more and more obvious Ron doesn't have a future on the national stage. Now donors have bailed, the corporate media is protecting their own interests by finishing off his career. The house always wins.

I'm talking about Rufo because he's the source of this allegation.

Imagine if Rufo and his friends lied and called you a pedophile on twitter because you oppose violence against trans people. Would it be fair for the national media to cover this lie as an allegation?

Is this really the society we want to live in? Any "allegation" from famous twitter account gets push to the front page and when it ends up getting debunked the media publishes it under the fold. Don't you see the dangers of this world?

How many times does Christopher Rufo have to be proven bad faith actor until we can ignore him?

Should we think this hard about online debates involving esoteric topics, especially when they are started by white nationalist / propagandist Christopher Rufo?

Not serious according to her thesis advisor slash professor she supposedly stole from. Also, how do you plagiarize an appendix? Is that even possible?

Yea, I fucking hate bill balancing. We received a $10,000 bill for a neonatal consult a day after my son was born. He had a little fluid in his lungs, was gone in an hour or two.

The doctor was part of the hospital system but I guess that 2 miles he drove to the women's center justifies a $10k bill. Our healthcare is broken.

Emergency rooms are required to try and stabilize patients before they discharge them. These patients are billed after they leave the hospital, insured or not.

If I try to schedule a checkup or procedure, I need to give my insurance card first. Uninsured can pay for a flat fee upfront. If they can't pay, they get no service.

With insurance, things get complicated. The facility will try to give you an estimated cost of the service. But it's always a back and forth with 2 or 3 parties; the insurance, facility, and doctor network. If there is a disagreement between parties, you the patient get a bigger bill. Even when you payed for the procedure beforehand.

Politics is the side effect. Blame the media for all of it. This all started when the media decided they could increase ad revenue by prioritizing antivax grifters who lie about everything to sell their snake oil.

If the media stopped promoting grifters, they would get less ad revenue, but humanity would be much better off.

Get out of your bubble and look at his poll numbers, they are showing real weakness. A very large chunk of his own base are apathetic him. Ignoring your voters and pretending there is not a single thing he can do better is the very definition a low energy campaign. The USA can't risk another Hillary-esque campaign when Trump is threatening a dictatorship on day one.

The Biden campaign is running on fumes right now, I can't imagine their energy getting any better. And this is coming from someone who believed his first 18 months in office were incredible.

Biden started out well in 21 and 22 because he tried to appeal to his progressive base. That being said, Biden is a fucking moron if he believes his neolib pivot didn't hurt his poll numbers.

It's not too late, Biden needs to pivot back to progressive policies instead of this blame the voters BS like Hillary tried. Blame leaders, not voters.

Liberal voters, aka centrists, only care about defeating Trump. Manchin can only hurt that. And the press will turn on him as the pulling votes from Biden narrative heats up.

Same hospital Israeli snipers are shooting patients?

Hedgefundaganda from sfgate. Classic playbook from the rich, pitting people against each other to deflect blame.

I agree beginning of the comment, conflict is bad for both Palestinians and Israeli citizens. And it increasing bigotry towards Muslims and Jews worldwide.

I re-read the comment twice and I believe it fails when it gets into blaming the Palestinian people, like they chose to have no control of their food, water, borders, ports, electricity, or even their military.

I'm not sure where you are from. But in America, they teach us to blame voters whenever shit goes bad. But at the same time our divided media propagandizes us with narratives that always protect the most powerful. Israeli leadership is the most powerful in that region and this comment you linked unsurprisingly has no criticism for them? I am done blaming people, even if they believe the shit propaganda fed to them. Leaders are always to blame.

That region can never heal until it's rotten leadership is gone and there's new leaders that actually want to build a peaceful future.

Originalism ain't in the constitution as well.

You want to fucking "both sides" this, really? If Biden and the US government were arming Hamas while they attacked Israeli citizens, I would be just as upset as would you. But here you are defending him while ten of thousands of Palestinians are dead or dying. Stop pretending like you care.
