    Arkansas rape victim comes forward after 40 years to call Hillary Clinton a ‘liar’ | Daily Mail Online

    Read the quotes in the article from the victim. It's no Snopes but the victim speaks. You know, the one who was assaulted at 12? And, even in your link under the truth portion was a statement about Hillary chuckling years later about it. Yeah, rape cases are hilarious.

    Raises good/interesting points though.

     
  3. Did you really just link me to Daily Mail? Seriously?

    Read what the "chuckling" is about. It wasn't the rape. And stop reading the fucking Daily Mail.

    I get how health care costs are inflated. Just because you have a different way of fixing the problem than my idea, doesn't mean I don't get it. In fact, your condescending tone is humorous to me and makes you seem no better than either of the two parties I can't stand.

    There's no reason health care shouldn't be a right. None. It's a moral issue to me honestly. How can you be okay with denying people health care on the basis of money?

    Sounds like Uncle Sam is a little too involved to me.

    Legit infrastructure is the only thing I'm hopeful about at this point.

    @Jason Tate if we can't get a website ban (i mean, fair) can we at least get a thread ban here? he's clearly not doing anything here productive

    I can tell you right now that I, while I didn't do extensive research, I googled multiple times what would be on my ballot. And still was looking at a good 15 local races, only half of which were unopposed, that I had no idea on. Local involvement seems pretty crucial to me.

    Not to mention, with the Republicans having such a hard-on for leaving things to the states, it's kind of the best hope. Fix the states.

    How can something that demands action from someone on your behalf be considered a right?
     
  15. Yeah, the economy is going to be big ... the problem is that for a lot of those workers ... those jobs aren't coming back but the promise of them coming back is the opposite side. Trump says I'll bring our jobs back, Dems say, sorry they're not coming back but let's work on what to do next ... and I dunno.

    Fuck. The right has always been very good at explaining their economic proposals in a way that sound great. We're gonna lower your taxes! Make jobs stay in this country! It's fiction, but it works.

    Does that mean we have to start paying for our trials now?

    Edit: Well, uh, lawyers. NVM, i'll see myself out.

    Thanks for the offer but I'm fine. My doctors have reduced payment plans and assess how much I pay by my income. However, the point is I'm paying a fine for not having healthcare when I do just fine without it.

    Not sure I see the connection.
     
  25. "how can a right be something someone has to do for you," or, as stated by rand paul, "universal healthcare is slavery"
