Obama comes around, Romney right about Russia? Heh.
Submitted by divineorder on Mon, 12/12/2016 - 11:12amThe hours are short until Mr. Obama is put out to pasture, legging it away from a legacy that is, shall we say, not the greatest. Some will miss him, some will idolize him, others will blame him for the next four years of potential horror and CHANGE, leaving behind his drone killing battalions at the disposal of DT.
Do the Democrats Ever Want to Win Again?
Submitted by Cant Stop the M... on Sun, 12/11/2016 - 1:32pmIn answer to DallasDoc's excellent essay, I'm reposting something I put up at The Other Place many moons ago.
This should not be taken as any kind of backhanded insult to DD's diary, which I largely agree with, though I don't spend a lot of time thinking about the Democrats and their choices anymore. I repost it now because I think it's important to understand that they don't care whether they win, and they haven't cared for a long time.
Jimmy Dore Blows the Doors off the Democratic Party Tonight
Submitted by Jazzenterprises on Thu, 12/08/2016 - 11:15pmYup, I like Jimmy Dore and the Jimmy Dore Show... but tonight he was on fire. I am talking 10 videos, all of them worth watching, and if you follow Jimmy, this is actually quite a rare event, so I guess he had a few things on his mind... not only that, but they are almost all about the election, the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton and her cabal of losers.
My experience with private insurance before the ACA, and my thoughts re the viability of Obamacare.
Submitted by Older and Wiser Now on Wed, 08/17/2016 - 5:22pmFYI, gjohnsit has another fine essay out today, focusing on Obamacare. Originally I wanted to leave these words as a comment in that essay, but quickly realized that it would have been far, far too long, and so I decided to write my own "essay" instead. This piece is a collection of certain of my prior comments on TOP; I hope readers will find them useful.
