I'm old school. Give me some time to digest these transgender bathroom rights.

I don't wish harm to transgenders. I just need some time to digest it (males living as female using women's room, and vice versa).

Dear White House, 10 million *IS NOT* 100% of 24 million.

Anyone here have their insulin covered by ACA?

I do. I am really thankful for that.

Remember how the travel ban was only going to be 90/120 days until they figured things out?

Well 120 days have already elapsed. The Trump admin should already have some sort of findings!

Part of me wishes AHCA passes so that Trump voters will feel the pain...

...that they voted for.

But the Democrat part of me wishes no pain on anyone ...guilty or innocent. So in the final analysis, I hope AHCA does not pass.

"How come there's no Americans working at this restaurant? They are all Latino"

I am sitting in a casual restaurant that bills itself as serving traditional American food. My companion (I have dropped her to borderline friend) asked me, as we were sitting waiting for our food, "How come there's no Americans working at this restaurant? They are all Latino." I was taken aback by this comment given that "Latino" and "American" are not mutually exclusive. I just shrugged to her thinking to myself at least she did not say "Mexican".

I am contemplating if I should bring up this issue to correct her after we finish our meals. I find it disturbing that she would equate Latinos as being non-American.

Trump just sold out the American people to big pharma

We have to realize that we need to win even with voting machine discrepancies

It's similar to a visiting sports team getting home cooked by the referees. Right now the GOP is the home team favorite with all their shenanigans. We have to win knowing those shenanigans are at play. That requires an overwhelming DEM turnout to neutralize said GOP shenanigans.

Things aren't going to change much until the GOP base feels actual pain...

...as in health care benefits lost, job loses, and deep cuts into their SS benefits/disability. That's a direct pain they will feel in their wallets and can directly tie to their GOP leadership. That is the only way they will change IMHO. All the rest about trying to convince them about equality/social good and what not is a waste of time.

I'm in my undies with the window air conditioning on full blast 🌡️

That's the only way I can deal with this heat and Ossoff losing. I dont have central AC
