Exactly. Tomorrow I will walk to my polling place and wait in no line and the total time will not even register what it will take for some people to cast their ballot. That is a travesty.

Oh fer fuck’s sake…

Rod “Bein’ a Dick Option” Dreher is pimping some preposterous bullshit from Ross Douthat:

How did we get here? How did it come to this? Not just to the Donald Trump phenomenon, but to the whole choice facing us on Tuesday, in which a managerial liberalism and an authoritarian nationalism — two visions of the president as essentially a Great Protector: a feisty grandmother or fierce sky father — are contending for the votes of an ostensibly free people?

Start with the American family. Start with my own family, as an illustration — white Protestants for the most part on both sides with a few Irish newcomers mixed, rising and falling and migrating around in the way of most families that have been in this country a long time…….Then the social revolutions of the 1970s arrived. There were divorces, later marriages, single parenthood, abortions. In the end all those aunts and uncles, their various spouses and my parents — 12 baby boomers, all told — only had seven children: myself, my sister and five cousins.

So instead of widening, my family tree tapered, its branches thinned. And it may thin again, since so far the seven cousins in my generation have only three children. All of them are mine……. In either case, the demagogues of the future will have ample opportunity to exploit the deep loneliness that a post-familial society threatens to create.

This loneliness may manifest in economic anxiety on the surface, in racial and cultural anxiety just underneath. But at bottom it’s more primal still: A fear of a world in which no one is bound by kinship to take care of you, and where you can go down into death leaving little or nothing of yourself behind.

Protestants and their wicked contraception caused Trump.

Can you imagine the asshole GOP in the house having the ability to force an early election with a no-confidence vote? Our system (winner take all, filibusters, electoral college, etc) has it’s warts and flaws but I’d never want to trade it for the godawful mess of the parliamentary system.

1) Shit.
2) Explosive diarrhea.
3) Flaming dog shit on the front porch.
4) A shit sandwich.

You have continuous electioneering because of fixed election dates and that defines how campaigns are run. In other governmental systems including Parliamentary ones like the UK, a long campaign is six weeks from posting of the election writ to balloting. We don’t have the dead hand of a Constitution written over 250 years ago by your first group of treasonous slaveholders so we can also do things like limit campaign spending by government diktat, something all sides in Parliament agree on.

“I don’t remember what derp he was peddling back then but it wasn’t much better than this organic fertilizer.”

I have no idea why some right-leaning writers seem to think there were no single-parent households, no abortion, and no divorces before the mid-20th Century. I recall knowing about these things when I was growing up in the 1950s and early 1960s. I specifically remember the time when my mom asked me to help an elderly neighbor pack up her things because she was moving into an elderly care facility. She was a well-educated, well-known and well-regarded member of our community. While I was packing some of her possessions, I ran across material on performing abortions. Now, I don’t know if she’d had one, or if she had performed them at some time in the past, but I remember reading the materials she had on the subject. I was about 11 or 12 at the time. I also recall that some women in our general neighborhood at the time were also single parents, and I remember some couples getting divorces. In addition to these, I remember having contact with LGBTQ persons who lived in my city. Some of them were very active in local churches and were pianists and vocalists who were welcomed in every church. Some people live very sheltered lives, it seems.

Tonight is the eve of my sobering up. On Nov 7, 1984, I went to First Avenue to hear The Cure play a 2+ hour show (there was no opening act) and then went to a party afterwards On the way home from the party I realized that if I didn’t quit drinking I was probably going to die. I had just gotten laid off from a dead-end job I hated and I had too much free time. However, having all my time for myself probably helped me focus on what I needed to do and get back on track.

I think contraception is the main factor for reduced average family size (i.e., quantity). Other social changes have more of an effect on family stability etc. (i.e., quality).

Naturally a meathead like Dreher will conflate quantity and quality to blame everything on contraception.

re: #41 Mattand

she has a point… premiums are going up. In certain narrow windows, they’re going up a lot… why?

Because its seems that insurance companies are having a hard time being efficient and remaining as profitable as they like. So, instead of competing with each other in the open marketplace, the insurance industry is divvying up the country into regional fiefdoms, reducing competition and setting up their own areas of influence.

Now could some of this have been foreseen? Maybe? The thing is, instead of the big guys being played off of each other driving prices down, they’re colluding making it easier to set price fixing because they’re the only one providing a service.

What does the GOP plan to do… shitcan the whole thing and allowing their overheads to spiral again with no price containment at all. won’t even let the Dems try and fix it because its in their interest not to.

What does that mean for your single Mom, she’s pissed and rightfully so and she’s taking it out on the people that got her the insurance to begin with, as opposed to the people that are preventing the competition and screwing the marketplace, namely the insurance companies and the GOP. Problem is, that shit don’t fit on a bumper sticker.

Obviously good contraception is key in reducing family size, but having a high probability of having children survive, as well as education for women are the underlying reasons why couples choose to use it. Add in the fact you can usually give 2 or 3 kids a much better start in life than 7 or 8 and small families become a very popular choice.

“A Catholic priest put an aborted fetus on the altar in an appeal for Donald Trump”

And, some right-wing Christians wonder why younger Americans have turned their backs on organized religion? I think a stunt like this wouldn’t encourage them to attend this guy’s church. If I’d been there, I would have gotten up and walked right out, and I probably would never have returned. I turned my back on my church the day of my dad’s funeral, 15 years ago. The only reason I didn’t leave earlier was because my mom pretty much begged me not to. She died two years before my dad. I’d had enough of the minister using the pulpit to air his personal grievances. Trump reminds me of him in that he became a very vindictive person, causing many members to leave before I did. After my dad died, I cut the ties and haven’t returned. I see my old pastor occasionally, and he’s always inviting me to come back to the church. Uh, uh, no way. I attend other churches in my city but not his.

She’s married; I wasn’t clear about that in the initial post. I have no idea what they’re insurance situation is. Based on her case of Benghazi fever, I’m guessing she thinks the ACA gives people health insurance for free, which is the kind of derp I run into when people complain about it.

That’s whack job “Father” Frank Pavone, a completely rabid anti-choice priest. This might be the sickest stunt he’s pulled yet.

He was featured at LGF when he came out to support Donald Trump’s statement that women who have abortions should be punished: littlegreenfootballs.com

Hard call (on what is Pavone’s sickest stunt.) His camping out on the Terri Schiavo doorstep and calling Michael Schiavo and the judge in the case MURDERERS was pretty hideous.

“I don’t remember what derp he was peddling back then but it wasn’t much better than this organic fertilizer.”

I have no idea why some right-leaning writers seem to think there were no single-parent households, no abortion, and no divorces before the mid-20th Century. I recall knowing about these things when I was growing up in the 1950s and early 1960s. I specifically remember the time when my mom asked me to help an elderly neighbor pack up her things because she was moving into an elderly care facility. She was a well-educated, well-known and well-regarded member of our community. While I was packing some of her possessions, I ran across material on performing abortions. Now, I don’t know if she’d had one, or if she had performed them at some time in the past, but I remember reading the materials she had on the subject. I was about 11 or 12 at the time. I also recall that some women in our general neighborhood at the time were also single parents, and I remember some couples getting divorces. In addition to these, I remember having contact with LGBTQ persons who lived in my city. Some of them were very active in local churches and were pianists and vocalists who were welcomed in every church. Some people live very sheltered lives, it seems.

That which isn’t discussed doesn’t exist. There was no homosexuality, just a lot of ‘confirmed bachelors’ and ‘maiden aunts’, and women like the ones who used to live next door to us when we were just married. They were about 50 when we were 30, so they’d have been born in the 1930s. They had both retired from careers in the Army. They lived in a 2 bedroom flat, the mirror image of ours. In the bigger bedroom, there was a large bed, and it was all nicely decorated. In the smaller one, there was a day bed that appeared never to have been used. Each one identified that room as the other’s. We weren’t fooled, but then, we also didn’t care.

I think that mostly the people who want to return to the 1950s want to return to a time when they didn’t have to think about things like that, or interact with anyone different from themselves. And of course, it was the Zenith of White Men In America.

I’ve always been greatly amused when I see and hear those who aren’t supposed to marry and have kids go all cray cray about contraception and abortion and become overly concerned about same-sex marriage and about a same-sex couple adopting kids. None of these things concern them, which means their meddling in them makes them some of the nosiest *sses on the planet.

60% say Clinton has the temperament to be President, 39% say she doesn’t.

37% say Trump has the temperament to be President, and 61% say he doesn’t.

This would mean that 7% think Trump doesn’t have the temperament to be President, and are still going to vote for him. That, I just don’t get.

Major pharmaceutical companies have been pouring massive amounts of money — $109 million and counting — into California to urge voters to say “No” to Prop 61, which if passed Tuesday would largely bar state agencies that cover about 5 million people for paying any more for prescription drugs than what the federal Veterans Affairs Department pays.

There are so many possible twists and turns to a ballot measure that proposes a major new law.

I can’t say “hooray for you” or hand out any cookies to those who still buy into the platform that is the GOP. They just don’t like the mentally ill boor their fellow GOPers nominated who has an unedited id and loudly broadcasts the beliefs they only whisper among their perceived fellows because they know for real how fucking distasteful and unacceptable they are. I don’t see them denouncing the party and its platform - only Trump (who was never a real conservative anyway so they can say “fuck him” and still maintain their identity creds).

One more laugh from the 2012 Republican Autopsy.

11.
Consider how to help demographic ally groups flourish and sustain traditional partners under auspices of the RNC.
12.
The RNC should encourage individuals to participate in cultural organizations so that these organizations’ leadership is no longer dominated by Democrat-leaning individuals.
13.
The RNC must invest financial resources in Hispanic media. In a $1 billion campaign, much less than 1 percent of the total budget was spent on Hispanic or other demographic group oriented media. At one point during the 2012 campaign, OFA was outspending us 8 to 1 in these media markets. If we are going to attract these groups to our Party and candidates, our budgets, and expenses need to reflect this importance.
14.
Develop an extensive network of Hispanic and other demographic groups’ political operatives that can help provide continuity for Republican political candidates around the country.

Follow-through, guys. It’s all about the follow-through on the plan.

We get it, you have some sort of irrational hatred of the NFL. You realize for every one story like this you could find dozens of stories about guys deeply involved in their communities and charities.

And dozens more about CTE.

They’re gladiators. The question is, are they worse than the general population.

He wants everyone to think he resembles Draco Malfoy, but I suspect that everyone who’s ever met him would say he’s a lot more like Gregory Goyle.

re: #85 Blind Frog Belly White

That which isn’t discussed doesn’t exist. There was no homosexuality, just a lot of ‘confirmed bachelors’ and ‘maiden aunts’,

It goes back a lot further than that. You might like to read up on the 19th century life of John Newman who converted to Catholicism, was made a Cardinal and was quite recently beatified by the Church. He never married and lived much of his adult life with his “friend” Ambrose St. John. When he died Newman was heartbroken and on Newman’s own death he was buried in the same grave with his “companion” as his last dearest wish.

This has caused the Church some problems — they arranged for Newman’s body to be exhumed to provide relics for Newman’s eventual and expected elevation to sainthood but the remains they have may be mixed in with St. John’s.

IIJM, or does it seem to anyone else that Donald Trump is wasting/has wasted a lot of time in New Hampshire, relative to the gains he might get? It’s a small state with only 4 EVs, and, AFAICT, Hillary is polling well ahead in any case. Given that (thankfully!) there’s only one DT one would think that he’d spend his campaign time in states with more to gain - NC, maybe, or PA.

re: #96 Blind Frog Belly White

Okay, so here’s something I don’t understand:

Today’s Fox News Poll has Clinton at 48% to Trumps 44% - same 4% lead as everyone else.

60% say Clinton has the temperament to be President, 39% say she doesn’t.

37% say Trump has the temperament to be President, and 61% say he doesn’t.

This would mean that 7% think Trump doesn’t have the temperament to be President, and are still going to vote for him. That, I just don’t get.

One word answer is abortion. Or guns. Depends on what kind of wingnut you’re asking.

I know the threads have moved on, but I just wanted to say that has always been a favorite piece of mind, and it is what we got married to, rather than more traditional things. <love>
