Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

My ears really perked up when halfway through Dead Man Blues I hear a character state her name as Carol Ann Gabbard. Love my E KY roots.

The final episode of The Ballad of Verity Turner is here. Will Verity become just another verse in a murder ballad, or will she write her own ending?

Some incredibly good news:
One year ago this week, The Onion returned to print.
In that one year, we’ve grown to the 13th largest print newspaper in the United States, just ahead of the Boston Globe, and growing fast.
In short, it’s working.
So… thank you. Thank you for helping save this thing.

This is like watching the 1996 Bulls take on 20 little league teams at once. The bleakest part to me is that these right-wing influencers signed up thinking they could make themselves look smart, illustrating just how low the bar for "intellectualism" is on the Right
I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'
Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

This is exactly what will happen. His base has already been negatively polarized against the basic concept of healthcare. This bill is a gigantic boon to the coffee enema and "alternative" cancer treatment scam industry.
It just occurred to me that Trump's denial of Medicaid for many of his cult followers will leave them without legitimate medical coverage & they will resort to "wellness" scammers- those who wouldn't qualify for Medicaid payments. The snake oil salesmen figure to benefit more than anyone here.
