Trump's healthcare bill is going down in flames
Submitted by CS in AZ on Fri, 03/24/2017 - 2:27pmI just read that Paul Ryan went to the White House to tell President Grump they don't have the votes. Trump's long-promised "beautiful" alternative to repeal and replace the ACA is apparently DOA. I'm not surprised. Their promises were obviously lies and bluster all along. Still, it's enjoyable to see them fail so spectacularly.

They're calling it a "Free Speech Bus." By "they,' I mean The National Organization for Marriage, the International Organization for the Family, and a new hate group called CitizenGO. The latter is a Madrid-based organization with ties to the Church. The leading figure in all these organization is, of course, Brian S. Brown.

Not all civilians are equal: Mosul vs. Aleppo

It's not like we were responsible. Those hundreds of dead women and children were “human shields” for ISIS snipers, so it was their fault.

I wanted to write something but I didn't know what to write. So I thought I'd just write. It's like when you have so many fucking chores to do you don't know what to do first so you crack a beer, sit at your computer, and read deep political opinion essays.
