The reason he can't be fired for his association with Epstein is because his boss had a much longer and more problematic association.

Meanwhile back at various red states, life expectancy continues to fall further and further behind Canada and blue states. Should there be any scrutiny of the policies that contribute to this. I guess life only matters up until the point when it collides with ideology.

Thanks for sharing them. It isn't an easy issue and any abuses/deficiencies should be scrutinized.

I certainly want that option.

I am in favor of assisted suicide. Sorry if that makes me a bad person in your eyes.

Im happy to discuss all policies that affect the quantity and quality of life. Not just the ones I find to my ideological taste.

It seems to me if life is precious all policies that affect the quantity and quality of life should matter to us. Not just the ones we find congenial to our ideology.

Canadian life expectancy is significantly longer than the United States, with a a widening differential.

They are going to find out that public opinion and buy in matter. It will never be perfect but they should be making more of an effort. This administration hasn't shown much appreciation of this. Including public opinion in allied countries. We might be getting more cooperation if not for...

Since I am stuck on the letter i this morning (incompetence, ignorance, impulsivity) I am favorably inclined to add incoherent as an adjective describing the Trump administration's public messaging efforts. It would be nice if they could explain to the public what they are doing. I think it...

I dunno. Ask your bot friend if he/she is taking into account all the grandmas and grandpas who don't have to file. Many of them are just above the poverty line (by design) but don't make enough to pay taxes. It is probably the case that more eligible Democratic voters don't file. But they...

eh...the competition for that accolade is pretty stiff

No one is hyperventilating.

My best guess is that the regime in Iran survives for the foreseeable future. But it won't be throwing its weight around the same way in the region.
