So you think my sister should have left the father of her child without insurance because, why? Admittedly this is less of an issue now thanks to the Affordable Care Act (passed without a single Republican vote), but that didn't exist yet.

I'm not the least bit wishy washy about this issue. I generally don't care about the private lives of candidates, as long as they don't campaign on them or support government regulating private and consensual conduct. I will point out, though, that it was Donny who disregarded his own marriage vows.

There's no evidence that Ms. Harris (then a private citizen) cheated on anyone. Any issue with Brown's marriage is between him and his then-wife, and is not her problem. By all accounts, Brown's wife had no issue with what he was doing, so everyone else should (in the words of Governor Walz) "mind their own damn business." --Bob

Brown was still married, so if ya wanna get technical it was cheating. I don't care cause she/they worm their way about definitions.
As, it seems, your sis might have? Why wasn't her ex husband on his own insurance to begin with?
Hmm?
Because he was injured on the job and could no longer work. Wanna do any more moralizing about people you know nothing about?

Why do you assume that insurance was his responsibility in the first place? Because he's the guy?

And no, it's not cheating if the only two members of the former marriage are on board with what's happening. It's simply none of anyone else's business. That includes the non-married partner. And it sure as hell includes the rest of the world, present company very much included. --Bob

How about he should be responsible as an adult? Defrauding the insurance company is cool, right?

No, because it was probably in both their names? Family? Do you know how insurance works? Were they also under the same auto and house insurance?
Well, then

Like many if not most workers, she had health insurance available for her family through her job (for an insurance company at the time, by the way). As long as they stayed married, he was eligible for coverage that way. If they'd gotten divorced, he wouldn't have been. --Bob

From a position of complete and inpenetrable ignorance, you're accusing my sister of insurance fraud.

Go fuck yourself, you self-righteous hypocrite. --Bob

Who's a Rino?

Yes, she has 'conservative' credentials, alright. Except when she don't. Which role was she pretending at?

Whichever one gets her attention. She is utterly irrelevant.

Here's a list of 200 RINOs. All people I've never heard of, but all people of the Washington DC swamp.
These are people who have never been elected to anything, yet have been given power, and are proud to list their credentials as if I should care who they are going to vote for. And their continued hold on their positions is threatened by one of the candidates for President. So they will abandon all their 'conservative' viewpoints, and vote for condescend to advise us to vote for, someone who is opposed to every conservative value they pretend to have. Because of their personal situations. They don't even have the ethics to say they can't vote for either of the candidates. They are all in for the swamp when it counts. These are the people who cumulatively make up Big Brother in 2024, 40 years removed from 1984.

That is what a RINO is, ear.

If I was Liz Cheney, I certainly would vote for Kamala Harris.

It’s not even because of policy. When Trump supporters threaten to kill you, that might motivate you to vote for the other person.

Since you’re in the middle of it, you don’t understand what we appreciate. You are mouth breathing moron, as are your allies. Do I think one of the more feral Trumpers actually wants to kill me? No. Would I be surprised if it happened, though? Not really.

I like that one! Now I have to decide which signature to remove. Hard to decide.

How many death threats do you think trump gets on an hourly basis, doc? Not to mention someone who tried and missed? (Well, according to the current narrative, anyway)
I really don't think you are in any position to call anyone else a moron.

Something I notice with increasing frequency, especially among the more rabid anti-Trumper: they fabricate an event or occurence in their fevered brains, something with little-to-no basis in fact, then get all fired up at the subject of their fantasy for doing what they've imagined the subject did. It's bizarre, really.

Forget the Cheneys. Here’s the only endorsement that matters:
In a post on her Instagram account, Swift said she watched the debate, has done her research and made her choice on who to support in 2024 race.

“I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,” Swift wrote.

The only ones impressed by this are the ones they didn't catch with Putin's endorsement.

Look, I know you’re not the brightest, but did you think that Putin was throwing that out there just so that dummies like you might think that he actually wants the Democrats in charge?

What actually would be motivation for wanting Trump to lose? Trump has made it very clear that he would give Putin a lot more breathing room in Ukraine and likely withdraw us from NATO.

Gee, doc, no; I had no idea someone might try an influence someone else in the media! Is that how that works? Wow, the things I learn here. And, "dummies"? Do you attend the same "under the bleachers with twelve-year-old boys" classes on insulting people that wbtrav does? Needs work.
