Death of Democracy says
Don’t worry about those unsightly tumors, undrinkable water that catches fire, and frequent earthquakes, Trump says it safe. Making America great again!
Yelling at clouds says
Its fun to tongue in cheek replies but the real (health) issue is that in 20 years, half of this countys population is going to be on drugs.
I invite you to go to http://www.broadcastify.com and listen to Harford Fire/EMS. Guarantee you’ll hear an overdose “call.
Miss Print says
Pray OPEC keeps the price of a barrel of oil under $50.00 so fracking in this country is not economically feasible.
Frack Baby Frack!!! says
Liberal trolls. We need our energy independence. Frack away. Frack Baby, Frack!!!!!
The economy is going to boom under Trump. Money talks, losers walk. Bye Bye libs.
From Russia with Love says
I think you’re confusing crack with frack. It seems that you may have been exposed to some of that fractured rock.
Frack Baby Frack!!! says
Go back to Russia. You are making things up, just like the liberal media. Actually, making things up just like liberals in general.
There is no Russia story. It was actually Hillary’s campaign staff that was meeting with the Russians. But that didn’t get any of the reporting that the fake Trump/Russia non-story the liberal hacks are trying to push.
People are sayin says
Crack Baby Crack!!!
I heard the Russians have a code name for Trump – Agent Orange.
From Russia with Love says
??, Trumpanzees, ???????, ?????, ?? ?????? ??????? ?? ??? ?????
WASHINGTON (AP) — “The United States announced charges Wednesday against two Russian intelligence officers and two hackers, accusing them of a mega data breach at Yahoo that affected at least a half billion user accounts.”
From Russia with Love says
I guess I forgot to translate:
You Trumpanzees, of course, are stupid, but that’s why we love you.
Frack Baby Frack!!! says
Russia,
How is that story related to Trump? Are you suggesting that President Trump was in some way behind the Yahoo hacks?
I guess you are, since Russian Intelligence assets were involved. After all, according to you nut jobs, Russian Intelligence is no longer run out of Lubyanka, but rather Trump Tower.
Right? Isn’t that what you are insinuating by mentioning that story, you weak-minded liberal idiot? Liberalism stands for nothing. Liberalism is a sham you have been brainwashed into following like a religion.
this koch is for you says
Frackhole
It seems like Russia got to you. You seem rattled. Actually you are ranting. Must be be something to what Russia is suggesting.
easy as fishin says
Chum, chum, chum baby!!!!!
Aki Khat says
To Frack baby frack;
There are things more important than the energy to run your smartphone. The health of our children and grandchildren comes to mind.
What happens when the aquifers that supply the water to the millions of people who live in the northeastern part of our country become contaminated with fracking runoff? Were will they go?
You should be ashamed of yourself for advocating fracking at the expense of our environment. Don’t you have any sense of self-preservation? .Or do you want your children to be born with unspeakable birth defects?
What’s liberal about wanting our grandchildren to be able to walk upright?
Not Economically Viable says
Maybe fracking runoff will reverse opioid addiction.
Show a democrat a bottle of Russian vodka and watch their head explode says
The Yahoo hack began in 2014 and I’m sure all the dems believe Trump was behind it back then.
So dems, what’s the next protest on the agenda? Is it going to be similar to the missing women protest? You know, shut down a school system (like PG County) in the name of women’s rights while screwing over the mothers who have to scramble to find daycare for their kids because they can’t afford to take off from their jobs. Let’s do one like that because the privileged can crap on anyone they feel like when they feel like it.
don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining says
You sound a little upset. Maybe you need your mommy and a blanket. However, you do bloviate like a chip off the old orange block. If you can’t swim with the big girls, go back to the kiddie pool with your mommy.
Hodor for president says
It’s a pity that some of the intense anger and hatred emanating from the left isn’t directed at some of the people who deserve it. The DNC, Wasserman-Schulz, Brazile, BHO and much of the main stream media colluded to shove HRC down your throats whether you wanted her or not. Their conspiracy turned your primary into a sham and frankly, I would have liked to have been presented a realistic alternative to Trump. The left had their choice largely taken away from them yet they don’t seem to mind.
Not upset at all enjoying the show says
What happened, did you lose a swordfight with your partner? Don’t forget the trailer park reference in your followup, that’s class.
easy as fishin says
fish on!!!
just sayin says
All you seem to be hooking are those pesky orange clown fish today.
just a few suggestions says
Perhaps a “Pumpkin Groper” tournament with a large prize pool which would encourage more expert anglers to hook and land the “big fish”. Sorry no catch and release. I hear some of the favorite baits are Russian sturgeon eggs, trashy Eastern European models and bad real estate deals. The “Pumpkin Groper” hides in a school of orange clown fish hoping that they will distract the anglers, and he will avoid getting caught.
Liam says
What if all this ignorance towards the people’s health is just one big plan to cut down the country’s population so that all that’s left are those rich enough to afford healthcare.
Forever Amber says
Liam,
Who knows? There must be some reason why one of the richest, most powerful nations the world doesn’t think their citizens deserve universal health care.
Maybe if we charged for our military protection services to the world, this country could have a health care system to rival those in the European Union.
Huh? says
Amber,
Can we please stop using Europe as an example. You understand that their economy is in a shambles and tax rates are through the roof. You know how the world works.
Oh, wait. No you don’t. You are just an idiot liberal who stands for nothing. Liberalism is just a cheap bumper sticker. Go put on your stupid knitted pink “p*ssy hat” and march around DC.
Forever Amber says
Another Thought;
Europe is not the only place that has universal health care. Another example is Cuba.
You should not make assumptions about a person’s character based on your own bigotries. Not all who wander are lost. Not all who have compassion for their fellow man are mindless liberals.
Another Thought says
I will assume you meant your comments for someone other than me.
Forever Amber says
Another Thought;
Oops. Sorry. I should have addressed this to “Huh?’ Please excuse, I’ve had an exceptionally rough day and am a little off kilter.
SoulCrusher says
Health Care had nothing to do with Europe’s economy declining……https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_European_debt_crisis
Forever Amber says
Soul Crusher;
Thank you. I couldn’t have said it better.
Another Thought says
Amber,
This country already has universal health care and has had it for quite some time. It is why you can walk into any emergency room and receive health care.
The whole debate that is going on is about who pays for the care and when does payment happen. One way or another all of society will pay for the health care of those who receive it. Some will pay more than others, but eventually all pay something.
Forever Amber says
Another Thought;
You are absolutely right about the existing “universal health care.” I worked for Medicare for a while, and I saw evidence of the amount of money government sent to major public hospitals to offset their cost of providing service to persons who had no other affordable access to health care. The check amounts were truly astronomical.
Emergency room care is the most expensive method of health care. What the “Obamacare” was trying to do is make other lower cost methods of health care available to those whose only access to health care is the emergency room.
It was hoped that by having access to first line health care providers, these Americans would seek help earlier before their health care issues escalated.
Bob says
Tell us all how someone walks into an emergency room with something like lung cancer or a broken back and gets the care they need for free? Sure you might be able to get treated for a cold or get stitches in you hand and walk on the bill but anything major and you are looking at bankruptcy. Heck for that matter if you have employer provided you are really vulnerable, get sick enough to not work get fired lose your paycheck and your insurance.
The real issue here is you have no understanding of the system other than what the rich people have told you, If you have some real information I’m all ears.
SoulCrusher says
Before the ACA or ObamaCare, whatever name you wish to refer to, hospitals did take in the uninsured and treated them, yet attached a bill to them, their social security number and their credit that was completely unreasonable. These bills were never really paid, resulting in the cost of hospital rates sky rocketing and the consumers who were fortunate enough to have insurance saw their insurance rates increased year after year. This is how the hospitals recouped their losses, by passing on the debt of the uninsured individuals to the insured individuals and their insurance providers. The catch 22 of the system was that they still attached that bill to the poor, leading to court judgements, which in turn never allows the individual to escape poverty, even though they had already passed the costs onto the insured. In essence, the medical industry always got paid, billed the insured for the cost of the uninsured and still got to maintain that they were owed by those did not float their own bills. Basically the medical industry got away with double billing. A prime example is if you look at a medical bill you will see outrageous charges like $10 for a bottle of alcohol and other crap like that. The medical community abused the insurance carriers, the insured and the uninsured all in one blatant act of unethical billing practices and led the way to the nightmare of medical expense that you now see today. Republicans want one thing. Democrats want another. Common sense shows us that the single payer system where the government controls health costs is the only way to make social medicine work. Other countries have already done the experimenting, yet our country can not see the light because those who sit in Washington have their heads firmly up their own partisan asses. Germany is the blue print that works best. There is a single payer system that extends to the masses, yet a private sector that caters to the rich. You can not mix capitalism with socialism and expect an agreeable answer. Either the insurance companies and their insured get slammed or the government controls the medical industry and those involved in the medical industry get slammed. What do you do?
Forver Amber says
Soul Crusher,
Hurrah, hurrah! A person who knows what’s going on. Many thanks for your insightful, learned comments. Please be sure to write to our senators and tell them what’s what.
Thank you for giving me insight and information into how to craft my letter to our senators.
