Your post didn't quote anything and contained no contextual clues, so people assumed it was about the post immediately above it.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 08:43 PM) Right, so it wasnt Obamacare that caused my premium to go up so drastically. No, not yours. But mine and LittleHurt's did.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 08:41 PM) For the same level of coverage? Services/providers/copays stayed the same. Premiums more than tripled. Deductibles went up, but I don't recall by how much.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 08:32 PM) I dont know what would have happened. All I know is that under Obama my premiums slightly increased. You have group insurance. If you were young and healthy prior to the ACA, individual insurance was really cheap. After the ACA, premiums went way up. My health insurance through BCBS went from $90/month to $300/month. I was fortunate that my status at work changed and I was added to their group insurance.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 13, 2017 -> 08:36 PM) Trump is the first president in our country's history to enter the WH in favor of gay marriage. I never called him a champion of anything. You said that, not me. You said one of the few things you liked about Trump was his stance on LGBT issues because you're socially liberal. But Trump is horrible on LGBT issues, as he has allied with the Religious Right, and has his administration do their bidding.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 11:02 PM) Government incompetence started far before Trump. Of course. And government evil started long before Hitler. But it's hard to top either one.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 10:15 PM) I'm fairly certain that Godwin's Law will soon be amended from Hitler to Trump. It'll be it's own thing. Whereas people make hyperbolic comparisons to Hitler when talking about government evils, they will reference Trump when talking about government incompetence.

Roy Moore's charity was a big grifting operation and he probably committed serious fraud and tax fraud. I'm sure this won't matter. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...m=.d409aa340d4e

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 08:54 PM) Only the courts should be concerned with different degrees of sexaul assault. Everyday people should be appalled by all of it. And you should lose your job over it like Ailes, O'Reilly and Weinstein. Nah man, everyone in the locker room assaults women and cheats on their wives.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 08:40 PM) You didn't disprove what I said so not sure why you quoted it. It was an absurd statement. He was apathetic to LGBT issues during his campaign and he's actively hurting them during his administration. That he would cater to the Religious Right on these issues upon entering office should have been obvious. Trump's legacy on LGBT rights will be negative. Obama's legacy on LGBT rights will be very positive.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) Trump etched his place in history as the first president to enter the White House in favor of gay marriage. Obama was the first President to support SSM and did so at the crucial time in the fight for equal rights. The major shift in popular opinion on LGBT rights, and the national legal recognition of SSM both took place during his time in office. Trump's legacy on LGBT rights will be strictly *negative*, as he caters to the Religious Right and embraces their push-back against LGBT rights. He's already doing damage. And he's a keynote speaker at the anti-LGBT Value Voters Summit coming up. You got played.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 09:06 PM) I like his pro gay rhetoric You got played

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 07:57 PM) Women said he grabbed them by the p****? Harth, Leeds, and Anderson all accused him of reaching up their skirts to grope them. Harth's accusation was 20 years ago. Trump is a powerful guy with a legal team. He knows he can get away with it. It's their word against his. There's very little difference between Trump and the other men being talked about.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 07:40 PM) He said he could grab them by the p****. It's hyperbole. It's wrong but it's hyperbole. It's not hyperbole when there are women saying he did exactly that to them.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 08:01 PM) I am not really sure of what happened with O'Reilly but comparing the victims of the men listed with Trump's p**** comment is really messed up. People suffered because of Ailes, Cosby, Weinstein and perhaps O'Reilly as well. Trump's words, while crude, didn't create any victims. Sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations have surrounded Trump for years, and exploded after the Access Hollywood tape. The stories mirror those of O'Reilly, Weinstein, etc. I don't know how you could forget this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_...uct_allegations

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) Doesn't look like Trump called this a terrorist act. Not surprising. Frankly I'm surprised he isn't latching onto ISIS' claim that they were responsible.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 03:30 PM) If it's a legally owned fully automatic weapon, it involves a lengthy background check by ATF (I think, one of the agencies) and a $200 tax stamp, but because of the very limited supply of these weapons, they generally cost high four figures and up. Actual legal automatic weapons being used in crimes in the US is extremely rare. It could also have been an illegally modified store-bought rifle, though. Been seeing claims about possible use of "crank" modifications and "bump" techniques, which apparently would create the inconsistent firing rate heard on the videos. Don't know enough about guns to know if that may be true.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Oct 2, 2017 -> 02:30 PM) How did he get access outside? Did he break a window? Broke the window in his room.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 25, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) According to facebook, they're protesting the military and veterans. Those who died in combat, in particular.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 05:00 PM) And by the way, didn't Trump increase sanctions against Russia? Sure, that could be a "cover my ass" move, but that doesn't seem to be Donald's MO. If he doesn't think he did anything wrong he doubles down. Trump strongly opposed the sanctions, but signed them after Congress made it clear they would override any veto. He had no choice. The more of a stink he put up, the worse it would look.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) In regards to what, if anything, Russia did with respect to "election meddling." If providing dirt on Hillary is what you or SS are considering as "meddling," fine. But to that end, whoever leaked the Access Hollywood tape was "meddling." Dan Rather was "meddling" when he filed his false report about Bush's war record. I don't think the media and hostile foreign governments are comparable entities. Moreover, there was no indication that Trump/Bush's political opponents were involved with those things. No, it's not the same, but it's in the ballpark. And these are just the things we know from leaks. The Trump campaign has been lying about their involvement with the Russians from day 1, again and again and again. We know they were *interested* in getting assistance from the Russians in one form, and we also know they *did* get assistance from the Russians in other forms. If you're waiting for a video to get leaked of Trump and Putin signing a document titled "Collusion Contract", that's probably not going to happen.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 03:23 PM) I suppose, but that's not election meddling. That's Trump illegally benefiting from his role (obviously not ok) What I'm saying is that Trump + Putin can enrich themselves far more with Trump as President than not. So saying these guys just care about money doesn't preclude collusion to win the election.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) It's certainly not the right move, so don't think i'm excusing/justifying it. But being provided information versus requesting information from a foreign power (who's basically an enemy) in exchange for something are two very different things. Sure, but your post implied we don't know squat about what the meeting was. We do: the Russians trying to help Trump and Trump's inner circle being on board.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 21, 2017 -> 03:06 PM) I'd bet my salary that all this back channeling was to make money on deals, not win the election. Don't those things go hand-in-hand? If Trump wins the Presidency, he can work towards things like removing the economic sanctions on Russia.
