Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

A tremendous foreign policy asset… to all of our adversaries.

“In this country American means white. everybody else has to hyphenate.”

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

I really should read my own blog.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Innocent people do not delay justice.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Consistently wrong since 2002

Donald Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

You cannot shame the shameless.

“woke” is the new caravan.

We will not go back.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

Now let’s hope that they Silver Gap instead of Silver Spam themselves so that more people can get good deals.

There are two counties, one each in Wisconsin and Ohio, where there are no announced insurers for the Exchange. I am betting with no inside knowledge that someone will take these orphans on. They should be able to monopoly price with almost no pushback from the state insurance commissioner and choose their own risk pool by product offering choices.

This is what happens when state regulators give a damn. Good work Centene. Good work Gov. Sandoval.

    Thanks for the post, David. Always nice to see good news.

    What happens when they don’t?

    Maybe if the party of free market stops causing deliberate chaos in the markets, we won’t have these potential crises in the future.

    Looking at the map, the county in Wisconsin is a very tough battle. It’s a tiny county – a former Indian reservation converted to a county in the reformist early 70s, filled with native Americans and a few retirees. I guess the good news is the number of uninsured from that gap probably measure in the hundreds – Medicaid, even at Wisconsin’s ridiculous ceiling, Medicare, and the casino employers will cover the vast majority in that county.

    Centene has been building skyscrapers (another one under construction in St. Louis/Clayton, MO), building claims processing centers (one built in Ferguson, MO in response to the Mike Brown riots), and hiring boatloads of folks since the ACA was passed. A huge job creator by taking advantage of evil government regulation. I know David says they are not the best insurance company in the world, but they have brought jobs to poor brown folks (and a lot of rich white one’s too).

    Please remember to tell us when someone steps in to cover those two counties in Ohio and Wisconsin. Well, TBH, I’m only interested in Ohio.

    @Ohio Mom: I didn’t really have any interest in the Wisconsin county before reading what dollared wrote. It was just a data point, now it sounds like an interesting place. It’s fascinating what obscure info you can learn here.
