The Crazy Republican Party War Against Health Care
Yesterday CNN interviewed John Kasich, who was in Munich for a security conference. Among other things, they asked him about Paul Ryan's and the House Republicans' plans to take away health care from millions of Americans by "phasing out" the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. You can listen to Kasich's response in the short video above. In short, he's appalled. "That is a very, very bad idea," he said, "because we cannot turn our back on the most vulnerable." But that's exactly what Ryan's plan, timidly and partially presented last Thursday, does, by forcing the a... more »

Fragile Egos And Political Power
I have been dumbfounded by Donald Trump's supporters. If the polls are correct, about 35% of Americans believe Trump can get and do nothing wrong. That conclusion is obviously contrary to the facts. Joan Smith, writing in *The Guardian*, has an explanation: The 45th president of the US invited on stage a man who later revealed he has a 6ft cardboard model of his hero and talks to it every day. Let’s just pause and think about that. This is a leader whose ego is so fragile, he wants to appear on stage with someone most of us would change seats to avoid if he sat next to us on a t... more »
aswan: welcome home

A few people are climbing the slope, tiny dark figures against the blue sky, and a man in robes is leading two camels across the sand. Birds are chirping. A cool breeze is blowing.

Why robots shouldn't pay income taxes
Bill Gates has done many cool things and even earned some money. But I simply had to laugh when I saw an interview in Quartz (see also a response in Fortune, Google News) where he says that robots should pay income taxes. The most important paragraph says: Bill Gates: Certainly there will be taxes that relate to automation. Right now, the human worker who does, say, $50,000 worth of work in a factory, that income is taxed and you get income tax, social security tax, all those things. If a robot comes in to do the same thing, you’d think that we’d tax the robot at a similar level. T... more »

Police: "No Evidence" Brexit Caused Spike in Hate Crime per Guido Fawkes
'Essex Police, one of the country's largest police forces, has sent out a statement denying a link between the referendum result and the rise in hate crime reported last week. They believe the increased figures are caused by an increase in reporting: "There is no evidence to suggest any increase has been specifically and directly caused by any one event or issue… There has been an increase in reports of alleged hate crime across Essex, which mirrors a national trend. Hate crime is significantly under-reported and we believe that greater awareness and confidence in the police respo... more »
"Psychodynamics of Trump-Triggered Rage Decompensation"
*"Psychodynamics of Trump-Triggered Rage Decompensation"* By Deborah C.

The term decompensation is typically applied to breakdowns in individuals who are psychologically fragile in the first place. For minds burdened with a fallacious self-image, unrealistic life expectations, or a distorted view of reality, heightened stress overwhelms the already brittle ego defenses, and raw psychic pain and rage flows unrestrained.

The second is the Neo cons who have been front loading his admin with loyalists beholden to Disk Cheney in particular. this must be stopped.

This One Chart Shows The Fall Of America
This is an odd item that makes a pretty sweeping claim without any obvious rational. I think someone has been staring at charts far too long.

It actually happened in 1929 because the elites blew themselves up first and did not understand that they had to print money to recap the banks even to save themselves. The lesson has been well learned. Policy and neglect ha... more »
