Each time the Republicans tried to repeal ACA the “News” reported it. Every time the Democrats don’t try to pass legislation the “News” reports it. If the “News” is reporting it then it must be factual, because, well, it’s the NEWS.
Democrats need to get busy writing and submitting legislation. It doesn’t have to go anywhere in the Congress. It just has to be submitted so that the “News” will report about it and give the Democrats the opportunity to talk about what they’re trying to do. Just like the Republicans do right now.

My personal opinion:
Conservative Republicans in the United States are equivalent to the Taliban: a fundamental religious sect that demonizes and oppresses women.
Are you real?
Well, if you can’t tell. Does it matter?
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball.
Dear Tech Blogs,
You can not effectively call out Amazon for it’s shoddy product listings, warehouse culture, and ripping off products, while simultainiously promoting it’s yearly super sale.
Looking at you Engadget and The Verge. Pick a stance and stick with it.
America: land of the free; home of the brave.
America: land that bans books; allows guns.
I don’t think these two lands can coexist and survive.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole over on Letterboxd this morning and added a bunch of movies to my watchlist.
I really do want to set aside a night or two after work each week and just watch a movie; instead of mindless YouTube video watching.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Folks, no one, not even the people who live there, would call Ventura California ‘beautiful’.
