In the birthplace of democracy Athens, people who didn't participate in the vote were called "idiotos" because they were ignorant and apathetic about having a voice in their lives. (Source: Amazon documentary, DEMOCRACY WITHOUT RULES)

Forget Roe V Wade, Trump doesn't give a shit about any of that.

Trumps new Supreme Court pick - Judge Brett Kavanaugh: "A sitting President cannot and should not be indicted or subject to a criminal investigation or civil suit."

@UnTied @Hol312 Broad brush strokes as an example.

Actual cost of a "simple" appendectomy: $8-10k

Provider (hospital, surgeon, etc. combined) bills Medicaid $15k, gets paid $9-11k.

Same exact surgery, level of difficulty, surgeon, hospital, etc., but billed to private insurance (Blue Shield, Aetna, etc.) for $135k, and ins co pays $99k.

That's what drives up the cost of insurance. The premium pool is based on those charges, not Medicaid charges.

Oh, ave cost of same surgery in U.K.? $3-4k

'I mean, it’s stitched into the stars & stripes of this country, from the Constitution, to Gettysburg, to our motto, “E Pluribus Unum”, from many, one. It’s even in our country’s name – the UNITED States. This year patriotism shouldn’t just be about pride of country.
It should be about love. Love beyond age, disability, sexuality, race, religion, & any other labels. Because the second any of us judge people based on those labels, we’re not really being patriotic, are we?'

“What makes this inquest significant is that these prisoners represent sinister influences that will lurk in the world long after their bodies have returned to dust.”

RT @[email protected]: The Dems, the #NeverTrumpers, the #DSA’s, the outraged, everyone cant get complacent before and even after November mid terms.

The deck is stacked for the GOP. They’re playing with house money and will use every trick to win...

If civility were such a key cornerstone of the right, Heather Heyer would still be alive today.

Think about THAT while moaning about how Sarah Sanders couldn't get a bite to eat at a restaurant.
