A person of no importance.
I feel like I read this same thing 35 years ago.

His Cost Plus Drugs is a good thing. I fortunately have GoodRx so I don't have to use it,otherwise I'd have to find and pay for a part d plan that covers all my prescriptions or fork over 200 a month for a generic that should cost 6 or 7.

Fair point about the fascists but it's still a mob mentality. I suspect he understands the complexity and pitfalls of what it will take to replace the current disaster better than most of the people attacking him.

I read through it and didn't see much substance. As for the rest,
leftist pileons are no better than rightist pileons. Not your original xmas eve post but everything that followed. Mobs are ugly.

Not so much defending as responding to a pileon. It's been fun but I'm not wasting any more time with a person who leads with insults and assumes they know what I'm thinking.

Those are fundamental issues. If you don't answer them early, you fail.
December 25, 2025 at 5:16 AM
I read what he responded to. There wasn't much to it.

Leftist pileons are no better than rightist pileons.

The context I meant was the thread the Cuban post was taken from. I'm on Medicare myself, I've been dealing with my disabled son's care for 30 years, and my other son is staring at a much larger premium for next year. I know a bit about this stuff.

That's private equity at work. You don't really think I'm in favor of this existing monstrosity?
December 25, 2025 at 3:46 AM
No, I won't be bullied by losers.
December 25, 2025 at 3:40 AM
Where did I say it would cost too much? Based on what I wrote, how can you know what I want? l absolutely want MFA but you can't wish it into existence and no amount of childish insults will change that.
December 25, 2025 at 3:36 AM
Of course not, but the person he was responding to didn't seem to have.

This is the intellectual level I've come to expect from the American left. I assume this is the most clever thing you can come up with.
December 25, 2025 at 3:12 AM
Where does he say that it's too hard?
December 25, 2025 at 3:01 AM
MC was responding to someone who was waving away the issues in a transition to Medicare for all. Context matters.
December 25, 2025 at 2:56 AM
At least it's accurate.

You first.

Would that we could.

If Trump disagrees, it'll take 2/3 of each house to force him out, correct? That's harder than impeachment.

Paywalled of course. What a way to drum up subscribers.

This is like a Coen brothers movie come to life.

About time you kids made something of yourselves.

Here's a thought.

Come out here to Portland and get in their faces. Show some leadership for a change.
