Zohran making a statement that he had to know would enrage the more deranged of his supporters is more evidence of him juice-having I think.

Honestly I just can't stand how these people want to burn everything down and then pull the "How dare you?" card when called on it. Crybullies, all of them.

related: reading AEI/Heritage healthcare proposals is always weird because you always read things like "high deductible plans don't seem to have lowered consumer costs"

yeah man, it turns out that you actually require information to have an efficient market

american healthcare policy is a mess primarily because the GOP doesn't really have a plan outside of "what if we did Singapore but without forced savings" and Obamacare is essentially, "what if we created a MA style risk pool"

An open fact, that is illegal to publish in national media, is that a significant portion of the sitting republican party exists in total fear of their own constituency such that their decision making is narrowly governed by whatever Trump wants, irrespective of the harms and stupidity to themselves

A lot of people on the liberal/leftist side of things underestimate this. They like to dismiss Republicans talking about dems and others being "satanists" and "in league with the devil" as red meat rhetoric to the base and it is that but it's also more. It's the Schmittian dichotomy distilled.

i do not respect this belief but it is enlightening to wrap your head around the fact that a significant number of your political rivals believe you are literally in league with satan, and act with concomitant zeal and brutality

the trump era has been defined by these "oh, joking, but not joking" incursions and violations, but, look, the governor of texas has publicly mused about destroying the city i live in and has sent his troops to occupy us, how is this *not* an act of war

I mean, yeah she’s hoping to get arrested by the IDF, that’s the point. Do you think the number of signatures on the petition the Selma-Montgomery marchers brought to George Wallace made a dent, or was the point to reveal what Alabama police were like to the world?
