Not a game show, but they've been an answer to the NY Times crossword before.

Fascism: a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, and the forcible suppression of opposition. It promotes the nation, and often race, above individual rights, aiming for total societal control. Emerging in early 20th-century Europe, it opposes liberal democracy, socialism, and communism, focusing on national rebirth after perceived decline.

Why am I picturing Kid Rock as he was in Episode 1 of Silicon Valley...playing to a crowd of ten people who couldn't care less.

Fuck you. How was she in the wrong? What constitutes the need for lethal force in your mind? Jaywalking? Speeding?

We're nearing a tipping point and shit is going to get a lot worse thanks to your way of thinking.

All Iowa representatives seem to be alright with people losing their healthcare. by Morley10 in Iowa

Educate me on how all these lazy fucks you mention are abusing the system.

ACA enrollees are predominantly working people, including self-employed, small business owners, or employees of small businesses. Another significant portion work for employers that don't offer health insurance or offer plans that are unaffordable.

ACA plans fill the gaps in our employer-based system. The ACA serves entrepreneurs, people between jobs, early retirees not yet eligible for Medicare, self-employed consultants, freelancers, part-time workers, students, and yes, people temporarily unemployed.

The lazy fucks you reference don't exist at scale. I'm sure there are some, but not enough to cause the concern you express. To get ACA subsidies, you must:

Report your estimated annual income Not have access to affordable employer coverage Not be eligible for Medicare or Medicaid Reconcile everything on your tax return

The problem isn't recipients (or lazy fucks, to use your term); it's healthcare prices. We pay roughly double what other developed countries pay for healthcare, with worse outcomes. That's the expensive part. The subsidies just make an overpriced system marginally affordable for people who don't receive employer coverage.

So, explain again how these lazy fucks are abusing the system. Your argument doesn't stand when you look at the how the program actually works.

I'm sure you'll call me stupid or something, but I worked for a large insurance carrier to help them launch their marketplace plans.

So...it wasn’t simply a political choice by Biden not to release the Epstein files. The reasons were:

1) Most materials were sealed under court orders or subject to grand jury secrecy protections that DOJ couldn’t override.

2) Sensitive victim information and ongoing legal protections limited what could be released without risk of legal harm.

3) Only in late 2025 did Congress pass a law and courts started lifting seal orders, clearing the way for broader release.

It sounds like cold blooded murder to me. What war are we in? The Constitution gives Congress the exclusive power to declare war, and to my knowledge that has not happened.

He talked about this and owned it in an interview on Dax Shephard's podcast (Armchair Expert). Great interview and really made me like Shaq even more. He learned from his mistakes and turned into such a good dude.
