So Is Trumpcare Finally Dead‽

The third GOP Amigo has come out against Trumpcare which will make pumpkin king Donald Trump very upset. Senator Susan Collins of Maine said Friday she’s leaning against the bill because among other things it undermines protection for people with pre-existing medical conditions, according to the Portland Press Herald. “The premiums would be so high they would be unaffordable,” she said. (Bloomberg) Senator Rand Paul announced on Twitter his opposition to the pseudo Obamacare repeal… No one is more opposed to Obamacare than I am, and I've voted multiple times for repeal. The current bill isn't repeal. — Senator...

Photo by Kevin Remington Apparently the parishioners in Virginia decided that bearing the name of a (violently pro-slavery) Confederate General was no longer an excellent representation of Jesus Christ.

Scrolling through the locked vaults of Medium (aka member only content) I came across an article lamenting how businesses disassociating from Nazi’s was somehow censoring their freedom of speech. The author was confusing freedom of speech with freedom of association (which are similar, yet different). Legally companies & customers do not have to conduct business with other customers & companies whose ideals are an offense to their own.

The problem with progressives & conservatives is they...
