Thank you for that. Talk about radical, there are Republican legislatures passing or trying to pass Jim Crow-like laws to discriminate against gays and lesbians in several states. It’s disgusting, and as long as Republicans are held hostage by the neanderthal religious right, I really don’t care about anything they have to say about Obamacare or anything else.

BOTH. My mama used to say, “Put both of ‘em in a box & shake it, no telling who’ll fall out first.”

If I’m reading that article right… Vernon Jones literally does not know what the Sheriff’s Department *does*. Shutting down crack houses? Unless there’s one in the jail…

Well chosen to not ignore the Derwin Brown episode. My father was a public official, and word on the street was that he was the next target. We had to have protection 24/7 for a good while. Corruption brings trauma.

All capitalism is crony capitalism. I don’t know why this is surprising to anyone. A so-called “free market” only works if all dealers are honest. There is no impetus to be honest when financial gain is on the line.

+1 for Rival’s initial post about Obama wanting single payer.

I wonder sometimes if crony capitalism hasn’t corrupted the Democrats as much as Republicans. Because why else didn’t Democrats ignore lobbyists while they were in control and pass what a sizable majority of the country would prefer: Medicare for all.
