Of course. Getting fake tits and taking some estrogen for a year doesn’t undo a life time of male biology, testosterone, muscle structure and function, and training. It’s an utter joke, and it makes my brain hurt to think that there are people out there allegedly devoid of psychiatric problems that think things like this are acceptable.

To reduce the plan’s costs:
To pay for the plan:
- Change the way Medicare pays for certain types of hospital stays, such as paying a package rate rather than different fees for surgical services, and paying doctors in hospital-owned practices the lower prices paid to those in private practices. ($2.3 trillion)
- Assume that the Medicare for all program itself can operate very leanly. The Urban Institute estimated that Medicare would devote about 6 percent of its health budget on administrators to decide what and how Medicare would pay for things, and to prevent fraud. In Ms. Warren’s plan, that rate is 2.3 percent. ($1.8 trillion)
- Assume very aggressive drug discounts. Ms. Warren believes a government system will be able to reduce spending on drugs substantially, including lowering the prices of branded prescription drugs by 70 percent. ($1.7 trillion)
- Assume slower growth in health spending over time. The federal government now thinks health spending will increase by 5.5 percent a year; the Warren campaign assumes 3.9 percent growth under Medicare for all, closer to the rate of growth in gross domestic product. ($1.1 trillion)
- Assume lower payments to hospitals. The campaign believes hospitals can be paid around 110 percent of what they are currently paid by Medicare, a number that would cause some hospitals to operate at a loss. Currently, private health insurers often pay a lot more to hospitals than Medicare for similar procedures. ($600 billion)
- Employers would be required to pay fees to the federal government, equivalent to 98 percent of what they now spend on their employees’ health care. Some companies would be exempt, and companies with unionized work forces would be able to lower this payment if they increased workers’ wages. Currently, companies vary greatly in the cost and generosity of their health benefits, so this fee would vary substantially by firm. ($8.8 trillion)
- States and local governments would be required to make payments to the federal government, similar to what they currently spend on government employee benefits and their share of Medicaid expenses. ($6.1 trillion)
- Corporate taxation would be increased. ($2.9 trillion)
- Tax collections would increase through improvements to I.R.S. enforcement, which Ms. Warren believes could raise a lot of money. ($2.3 trillion)
- The top 1 percent of individual earners would pay new taxes on their capital gains; they would pay taxes on increases in investment value annually, instead of waiting until assets are sold. ($2 trillion)
- Income tax collections would increase, since workers would no longer pay part of their salaries for insurance premiums, which are not taxed now. ($1.4 trillion)
- Billionaires would pay a higher wealth tax than the rate Ms. Warren has previously proposed: 6 percent, up from 3 percent. ($1 trillion)
- A new financial transactions tax would be imposed on stock trades. ($800 billion)
- Pentagon spending from an overseas contingency fund, often criticized as a slush fund, would be eliminated. ($800 billion)
- Income earned by immigrants, following the passage of her immigration overhaul plan, would provide new tax revenues. ($400 billion)
- A risk fee on the liabilities of banks with more than $50 billion in assets would be introduced. ($100 billion)

Anybody who reads it cannot re-elect this guy in good conscience. One can't love both America and Donald Trump.
I support his platform.
Why would I change my mind and vote in socialists?
Because he is a vile, corrupt, immoral man who is unworthy of any political office.
So I should vote for a socialist? That's insane.
Bill Clinton is documented to have raped Juanita Broderick. Funny how he was voted in. Twice.

there aren’t any socialist candidates, but some do want socialized medicine which is a risky proposition at best.
He’s a self-described democratic socialist who is actual a social democrat who doesn’t know the difference.Bernie is a self-described democratic socialist
For those so entrenched in their party politics and those who willfully consume propaganda pablum, I say this: You have a choice.
You can continue to bury your heads in the sand and not see what is really occurring. You can continue to writhe in indignation and incredulity and be miserably confused. Or you can open your eyes, expand your thinking, listen to others, and begin the process of figuring out what is (and has) actually been going on all around us.
You can choose to stay ignorant or you can choose to begin learning and understanding. But, rest assured, even if you don't embrace the truth of the times in which you are living, there will be history books written about these times and you will be able to get caught up. Your choice.

Indeed! There is literally a political party whose platform is:
Restriction of free speech
Gun seizure
Wealth seizure
Government takeover of healthcare
Decriminalizing illegal immigration
Surrendering the economic future of the United States to foreign powers
Enforcing and encouraging institutional racism.
I pray to God that we don't go down the road of socialism, it is genuinely scary how so many young Americans have been brainwashed into thinking it's an acceptable economic structure.
Well, consider all of the cisgender people whom you've met (a MUCH larger sample space), and how many of them (most?) have some other concomitant psychiatric disorder.For the record, I think all this transgender stuff is a psychiatric illness. I’m pretty liberal, but I have never met a transgender person that did not have some other concomitant psychiatric disorder.
Just look at all those people who vote for Democrats or Republicans nowadays.Well, consider all of the cisgender people whom you've met (a MUCH larger sample space), and how many of them (most?) have some other concomitant psychiatric disorder.

YAWN.
Will say it again - show me someone else who advocates America-First policies/visions, and I'll consider voting for that candidate. Until then, it's Trump. We know he's an a-hole, but he's an a-hole on behalf of our country, and sometimes, that's what's needed.
There is a huge difference between nationalism and corruption (of moral and every other values dear to many Americans).

And the longer something has been in existence (The Atlantic), the longer it has been allowed to be corrupted. The more awards, the more it has been purposefully propped up. I don't take any awards to mean anything. It is all about powerful people picking winners and losers in order to create the mythology that something/someone is infallible. I feel this way about many things: Newspapers, Ivy League/elite schools, Financial Investor Gurus, Winners of globalist prizes, Academy Awards. It is ALL designed to create a strata of influence, wealth, and power. And, I for one, don't buy into it. Hence why MY opinion may be different than YOUR OPINION. Because, after all, you and I are merely opining on a topic based on our own perspectives.
Wait a second.....are you telling Obama didn't EARN his Nobel peace prize?!?!?!?! But he worked so hard those first few days in office....
Blasphemy!
What next, Obama was not at HLS, he did not graduate and you want to know his GPA...surprise alert, I can give provide that information to you.Wait a second.....are you telling Obama didn't EARN his Nobel peace prize?!?!?!?! But he worked so hard those first few days in office....

Is this the same Leon’s mom that referred to black men as “boys” in a previous post, aka, a bastion a titular head of enlightenment and inclusion?As for the actual article posted, I don't have time right now to do a thorough critique of it and point out all of it's shortcomings. I may do that at another time if anyone has interest in hearing my opinions, otherwise, I won't waste my time on it.
As for George Conway, I have a couple of working theories on him, but I don't feel inclined to share them with you at this time.

Did the ban against Muslims from "terror" countries hold up in court?
My bad, forgot the sycophants he put on the court were as bigoted as he is.
Regardless, we're what....1 for 6 on the major campaign issues Trump wouldnt stfu about? Great record, there.
You got it. The Supreme Court rules in his favor cause they’re racist bigots. That must’ve been it.
Sheesh.

Dude, is your goal just to immediately yap back at any conservative opinion, no matter if you have anything useful or relevant to say? We made a simple comment that Obama’s peace prize was a joke. Most liberals would even agree with that...Why the need to frantically attack regardless of anything useful to say?

Blanket banning muslims from particular countries instead of evaluating INDIVIDUALS on a case-by-case basis? Absolutely bigoted, and I'll say as much if the shoe fits. God only knows what kind of insular community you live in, but I've known a few residents and fellows from Libya, Syria, and Somalia, and it's deeply antithetical to American values that these folks would be banned from our country based solely on where they came from.
No, it’s actually not. Sorry. Rant all you want. When you have a large group being infiltrated by terrorists and you don’t know how to sort em out, it’s just logical to halt immigration from those countries. I know you’re obligated to cry racist at least once every 7 1/2 hours, but you’re wrong here.

Also, it's still not lost on everyone reading that you cant address that King Trump is 1/6 on his promises
Yep, the problem with licking someone’s butt, is you get crap all over your mouth...."The disclosure from Gordon D. Sondland, the United States ambassador to the European Union, in four new pages of sworn testimony released on Tuesday, confirmed his involvement in laying out a quid pro quo to Ukraine that he had previously not acknowledged. The issue is at the heart of the impeachment investigation into Mr. Trump, which turns on the allegation the president abused his power to extract political favors from a foreign power.
...
Mr. Sondland’s testimony offered several major new details beyond the account he gave the inquiry in a 10-hour interview last month. He provided a more robust description of his own role in alerting the Ukrainians that they needed to go along with investigative requests being demanded by the president’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani. By early September, Mr. Sondland said, he had become convinced that military aid and a White House meeting were conditioned on Ukraine committing to those investigations.
"
Lol, Sondland's lawyers were like "dude, you're gonna gonna get indicted for perjury if you don't just come out and tell the truth " and good luck painting Sondland, a guy who donated $1m to the inauguration, as a never trumper.
Laziness or incompetence in vetting is not an excuse for blanket bigotry. Sorry you're too ignorant to realize that.
