That kid looked shady anyway.
He was definitely an MS-13 member.
Fuck you, *I* subscribed!
That’s why Donald hasn’t done anything to little jewish kids.
He and I have… an understanding.
Yet.
So did I. I was surprised at how few have. *glares at glibertariat*
Fuck you, *I* subscribed!
If you bait it with a description of a “little Mexican kid is on a bus to Guadalajara”, is anyone surprised?
SMASH that motherfuckin bell button
I subscribed in spite of the threat to deport that Mexican kid.
But did you subscribe under your free name and slave name?
I am a man of many identities.
Are those Big Mac stains?
In his armpits?
Sure. Warm ’em up after the drive from the McD’s to the White House.
There’s no ketchup on a big mac, so that must be from the fries.
Hat is my favorite character.
“Yeah, fat boy is fucking with us!”
The hat is just about the right amount of degenerate
Needs moar USDA labels!
I really would an episode where Trump fondles himself each time he takes a brick to Obama’s legacy.
TBH, I fondle myself every time that happens.
#MeToo.
I’m fondling myself right now.
That kind of thing has no place here!
That belongs in an SF story proper.
Other than the persistently weaponized Deep State, what’s left, anyway? Some of O Care, I suppose, and the CFPB, but I can’t think of much else.
*Looks at the epoxy still stuck in the engine block of his clunker*
Mulvaney working on one of those.
Almost all of O care is still in place. There has been no cessation of wars that Obama either started or continued.
Almost all of O care is still in place.
True, by weight. The Medicaid expansion part is still intact, as are the health insurance exchanges.
The individual mandate is gone, though, and there has been a fair amount of work in the bureaucratic trenches grinding down some of the other provisions. The illegal insurance company subsidies, for example, are gone.
Isnt the Medicare expansion one of the primary drivers of pass on costs to private consumers.
My understanding, and I may be wrong, is that medicare consistently under pays and that private insurance companies are left footing the bill to cover their losses for medicare patients.
To answer your question about Trudeau – I don’t know. I haven’t paid attention.
The usual nationalist fervour is taking over. ‘Stand behind Trudeau’ crap. Trump better not contribute to Trudeau’s reelection!
Maybe Trump really hates Canada, and that’s his 54-D chess revenge? Or he’s terrified of the potential strength of a Franco-Canadian alliance, and this is his gambit to undermine it?
Getting Trudeau re-elected is one thing that could make me engage in a little TDS of my own.
Er, where the “T” stands for Trump, not Trudeau. I’ve already engaged in Trudeau-DS. Proudly.

Medicare is for old people, and wasn’t expanded by OCare. Medicaid is for poor people, and was expanded by OCare, although some states opted out.
Medicare is not a terrible payor – most hospitals can more or less break even on Medicare.
Medicaid is a terrible payor, paying less than actual cost for most things. But, the alternative is not getting paid at all for a lot of services provided to Medicaid patients. A lot of docs won’t take Medicaid, and so they don’t see Medicaid patients at all. Hospitals all take Medicaid, because we can’t keep Medicaid patients from coming in through the ED, so we’re stuck with them.
“we can’t keep Medicaid patients from coming in through the ED”
I’ve been lead to believe by many brilliant thinkers that US hospitals routinely ask for exorbitant sums up front from seriously ill people and, upon their inability to pay, take great pleasure in throwing them out on the street to watch them die.
I interviewed last year with a small clinic while I was searching for a new job, they needed a new clinic director. I was surprised to find out the majority of their patients were on Medicaid. Its possible to break even but I imagine for a two doc operation it is a matter of overhead vs. volume.

It was firefighters, so no.
They’re still “first responders” though. Are you telling me they don’t get to carry guns as part of the ancient custom of “professional courtesy” ? What a rip-off.

Sorry to go OT so early, but this crap from TOS suffers from the very Trump Derangement Syndrome (not a term coined by the “alt-right”, whatever the hell that means this week; BDS was used in reference to opponents of George W. Bush on a regular basis) it notes the existence of. Its suggestion that media bias and distorting of the news is just a reaction to Trump winds up sounding like Jenny’s boyfriend blaming his hitting her on “this war and that son-of-a-bitch Johnson”. I guess the folks over at TOS aren’t familiar with Rathergate, the airbrushing of the IRS scandal, the airbrushing of Benghazi, etc.
This stuff is just pathetic.
Here’s my prediction. Trump has done a couple of things lately that libertarians should cheer. If he continues on this trend, watch for TOS to actually get more vociferously and vehemently anti-Trump. They could tolerate Obama being a statist. But, I don’t think they have it in them to be okay with Trump being libertarian.
Woketarianism is primarily concerned with culture, tribe and appearances. Trump is boorish and liked by all the wrong people, so it doesn’t really matter if he does actual libertarian-ish things (signaling on ending marijuana prohibition, reduction in foreign entanglements, appointing Constitutionalist judges), he must be opposed. It’s easy for them to sit back and say things about Obama’s liberty destroying policies, but they can’t hate him like they hate Trump because he’s part of the tribe. It’s desperation to be accepted by the cool kids, while simultaneously selling out one’s principles to try and become some kind of controlled opposition.
Basically, from what I can see, woketarians are a blowjob from Mika B. and a couple tequila shots away from being full on progs.
So, the mirror-image of Yokeltarians, is what you’re saying.
Pretty much. Principles be damned, we have third parties to impress!
What part of “The Party of Principle” do they not get?
I think its the principles part. Really, a typo. Spell it “principals” and they are good.
The Party of Principal.

Hey, I applauded Obama opening up Cuba and well, that’s one thing at least.
Every dog has its day.
My sincerest hope was that increased prosperity in Cuba would water down the communism enough that it became a completely different place (see: Vietnam).
Trump torpedoing that was politically smart; he needs to keep Florida if he stands any chance of reelection, but it was inhumane.
Vietnam hasn’t changed so much. I mean they are still imprisoning Christians for having the audacity to be Christian.
I think it’s fair to credit some of his drug conviction pardons.
I’m not familiar with the details, but I’ll support the pardon of any non-violent drug offenders, no matter who grants the pardon.
There’s one part of Cuba that he said he was going to close and didn’t.
You just compared TOS to MikeM? Yeah, never going back there, but that really cements it.
You would say that, wouldn’t you, poo-of-hurt!
So, the mirror-image of Yokeltarians,
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to bet against that proposition. What I’m not here trying to do is peddle the Kool-Aid for Donald Trump. That’s why I put a bolded If at the beginning of my last paragraph. But, at a certain point, someone has just as much drunken the Kool-Aid against Donald Trump. When you start playing fast and loose with the facts to support the narrative that Donald Trump is the cause of all our problems, I think you’re probably in the realm of Kool-Aid drinkers. And I don’t think TOS is in danger of getting labeled unrepentant Yokeltarians.
No doubt. That’s our cross to bear!
PROTECTIONISM RULZ!
I cant keep up with all of these labels.
Typical labeltarian.
You mean alt-labeltarian
TOS has a Chapman, and 2 Shikhas already today. It’s not pretty over there.
Ugh…
That’s the flop. So what did the river come out to be?
“That’s the flop.”
But enough about Winston’s mom, already.
Happiness is turning off the news.
I’m so sick of this site fellating Trump every chance it gets! I’m going back to the piss-stained, psychotic hobos that frequent TOS for some balanced discourse!
But Trump’s dick is so tasty!
I like Creamsicles too.
So, Orange flavor?
Yipe, the Cyclops must have gotten hold of that first guy’s ass, it is blown out!

Most people (I hope) are okay with an outcome they approve of, even if it was the result of “doing the right thing for the wrong reason”. Others would rather be boiled in oil than admit they approve of an outcome resulting from actions by the wrong person for the right reason.
If Public Enemy Number One does it, it’s bad, and we all should be outraged.
Meh. Libertarian writers have to make their living somehow. And what the hell would happen to the world if they had to start recognizing and supporting Donald Trump doing libertarian things? Christ, then they’d have to start competing with everyone on the right. If the conservatives all start supporting libertarianism, where does that leave the old school libertarian writers. They either have to give up on their dreams of getting that gig with The Times or The Atlantic or they have to try to go head-to-head with those other guys.
A lot of the name brand conservative writers are #NeverTrumpers with some degree of TDS. Probably pure confirmation bias on my part, but I think there’s probably a market opening for writers who can distinguish between Trump yanking people’s chains and what he does that matters (the old “Take Trump seriously, not literally” thing), and can discuss the merits of what he actually does without spittle-flecked rants about Melania’s hat or whatever the palace gossip du jour might be.
But his daughter tweeted a picture of her child!!! The man is a monster!!!
If we look at the Korea Summit (I’m just calling it that), there are people who two years ago would have been ecstatic at the thought of Obama pulling that rabbit out of his hat. However, now that it’s Trump at the table, all they can do is skulk around backstage protesting bitterly about how we’re going to get “fleeced”.
I’m of the opinion that the status quo was clearly not working with the Norks, so trying another strategy makes perfect sense. So long as Trump is not desperate to make a deal, any deal, thus leading us to end up with another Iran agreement, I can’t see how anything bad could come of this. Hot war is the only way relations between the two countries could get any worse, and I don’t think that’s going to happen, so might as well give this a try.
all they can do is skulk around backstage protesting bitterly about how we’re going to get “fleeced”.
To be fair, I think Obama was better than Trump at getting fleeced.
So long as Trump is not desperate to make a deal, any deal,
That’s the only risk to this that I see. I don’t know how prone he is to that.
. . . I think Obama was better than Trump at getting fleeced.
Yes, he displayed consummate skill at that, mostly because he couldn’t imagine a world that went against his stated goals and obscure preconceptions. “Wait, there are people out there that don’t fall in line every time I make a speech? Nah, you’re funnin’ me!”
So long as Trump is not desperate to make a deal, any deal,
It’s a concern because it’s not a private business deal, so all he needs to focus on is optics. Maybe he doesn’t care about reelection and wants a good deal. Who knows.
You might be conflating Trump with Bruce Rauner.
Since we’ve already gone OT:

“The protestors were rowdy, so I was told by a colleague that we should cancel the talk and reschedule it for spring. When I decided to give the talk a few months later, I thought I’d extend an olive branch to the blogger who smeared me[…]By inviting the blogger to the talk, I made the mistake of believing activists are engaged in an honest search for the truth.”
Do not negotiate with terrorists. These people represent a small, but very loud, portion of the campus (and most of them probably aren’t students anyway). Your mistake was not reaching out, it was canceling the original talk.

First day on the job?
Wait, wait, wait…his name is actually Jonathan Anomaly? That’s not a pseudonym?
Also, he looks like a cover model for “Just for Men” hair dye.
His name is certainly a deviation from the common rule, type, arrangement, or form.

Robby Soave vs Kevin Williamson.
Thanks, I needed a hearty laugh.
Williamson even has better hair.
speaking of, does anyone know where Kevin works now or if he’s written recently?
Looks like he’s back with National Review. At least I see articles under his byline in May and June.
cool. thanks. i figured he was banished from NR for leaving them for Vox or Huffpost or wherever the hell he went for those couple days before the perpetually aggrieved whined enough to annoy the editor.

One young man suggested that to hold nonconforming views on gay marriage ought to be in itself disqualifying from a career in journalism, on the theory that somehow such ideas are categorically incompatible with journalism per se. He also wanted to know how he was supposed to work with people who viewed certain aspects of his life as immoral. I suggested that he consider growing up, but the message was not well received. The moderator insisted that journalists must “respect all people,” without apparently giving a nanosecond’s thought to the silent “except those who disagree with us, who must be exiled” at the end of her sentence.
and this is why i read that guy.

on the eve of the summit, the White House unexpectedly announced Trump would depart Singapore by Tuesday evening, meaning his time with Kim would be fairly brief.
He has to get back to start selling all those steaks!
It doesn’t take very long to say “Here’s the deal, take it or leave it, fat boy.”
I’ve thought for a while that all he’d have to do is offer Kim amnesty for his Crimes Against Humanity and a nice retirement castle somewhere Europe and Korea’d be reunited tomorrow.
