I'm almost 60, my health insurance premiums are in the 5 figures, my coverage was just canceled, I'm looking for new coverage, I have to find a physician that's covered by the plan and isn't put off by some 'lifestyle' concerns and has some experience with 12 Steppers and [sigh] geriatric medicine. And I think it's clear I ain't been too fucking happy about changes to the health care system . . . . .

TIL that one of the staff is a 60 year old farmer.

You're not likely to see effective change so long as the people who provide the services and bank on the proceeds have us by the played out scrote of our unavoidable mortality.  I know that hillary supporters -think- she;s taking a hard stance on big pharma, for example...but it;s clear by big pharmas donations that they don;t see anything to fear from a clinton presidency.  I'm willing to propose that they have the smarter people crunching that situation..and if big pharma is cool with hillary...it isn't going to work out the way that she's implied or that her supporters have imagined.

It's a sad truth, in this case and many others, that civil servants are completely outclassed and outplayed. Might have something to do with settling, constantly, for second rate human beings when we pull the lever on the slot machine cleverly disguised as a polling booth.

(I'm much more politically active in county myself - at least here, when some asshole councilperson pushes an asshole plan designed, exclusively, to benefit their asshole operation... I can flip them the bird every time I drive by their house)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

She's sane and Drumpf is a fucking mental case.

That's really all there is to it unless you're a racist, misogynist, pig.  And this country has plenty of them.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Stop being such a virgin.  What politician does not tailor his/her message to each audience.

I can drive a tractor!

I chop down trees!

I can build a fence, set posts, barbed wire, everything!

I raised 100,000 bushels of corn this year, that's 2,800 tons of the stuff.

I just paid a guy $2000 to run his track hoe around a cornfield and fix all my terraces that washed out during the 7" deluge last summer.

Tailoring a message is a generous way to describe her many competing, duplicitous, and sometimes mutually exclusive positions.  

I appreciate the value of political expediency and capital, but at some point you're playing the game solely for the sake of the game.  We've had about enough of that shit, haven't we?

(@ Vor, that's what I'm talkin about, have somebody else bust his shit fixing your fields, I got some poor schmuck to fucking -destroy- his disks on a little 20 acre patch for what amounted to barely more than the cost of fuel Wink )
