Try to wrap your head around this


An Arkansas Rep. who was crippled in a drunk driving accident and received over 1 million in care, is - naturally- against expanding Medicaid for those shiftless, lazy people. Unlike him, who worked in the political salt mines of Arkansas.

The reason for opposing expansion, "is that some of the 100,000 people who have gained coverage through Arkansas's Medicaid expansion don't work hard enough or just want access to the program so they can purchase and abuse prescription drugs."

Typical GOPer - I got mine, screw you

Once you accept that greed is good that kind of thinking is inevitable...and the right wing has embraced it as a religious dogma.

Come to the altar now and be saved, and repeat after me...
Ayn Rand who art in heaven
Hallowed be your name
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth
As it is in Galt's Gulch.

last time I ever saw her.
I wish I had recorded that. I was in for a blood pressure check. I made a comment about single payer system and she came back with that. Blood pressure went through the roof.

I saw this guy on Chris Hayes this week. Unfuckingbelievable.

this slug was the one doing the drunk driving. The world would be a better place without the Josh Miller types.
