Colbert vs Warren

Col­bert: You keep be­ing asked in the de­bates: “How are you go­ing to pay for it? Are you go­ing to raise the mid­dle-class taxes?” How are you go­ing to pay for it? Are you go­ing to raise the mid-dle-class taxes?
Warren: So, here’s how we’re going to do this: Costs are going to go up for the wealthiest Americans, for big corporations.
Colbert: Taxes is what you mean by costs?
Warren: Yeah, and hard-working middle-class families are going to see their costs go down.
Colbert: But will their taxes go up?
Warren: But, here’s the thing—
Colbert: But, here’s the thing. I’ve listened to these answers a few times before and I just want to make a parallel suggestion for you about how you might defend the taxes that perhaps you’re not mentioning in your sentence... Isn’t Medicare-for-all like public school? There might be taxes for it, but you certainly save a lot of money on sending your kids to school and do you want to live in a world where kids aren’t educated? Do you want to live in a world where your fellow citizens are dying, even if it costs a little bit of money?
Warren: So, I accept your point and I believe in your point. Health care is a basic human right. We fight for basic human rights, and that’s Medicare-for-all. Everyone gets covered.


Suffice it to say the next 2 minutes was a filibuster from Warren without ever answering the question about tax hikes for people in the middle of the income scale.

As if anyone with a brain had not yet figured it out.

“...and Mexico is going to pay to build the wall!”

Just shut the fuck up.

Another global school climate-change protest day this Friday...
'Climate emergency'.
The kids would be far better off staying in school and learning how to spell and write correctly.

Climate change [or whatever they're calling it]...conference in NYC soon...Australia banned from speaking at it.  LOL
Seems only true believers are allowed to speak.
"China will be increasing its carbon emissions by multiples times of what Australia's are." - No1 radio host.
"China and India will be seeking trillions from the 'climate fund'" ...No1 radio host.

"It's a transfer of wealth....
A transfer of wealth from so-called "wealthy countries" to those not so wealthy." -No1 radio host.
Well, hey...if American taxpayers want to give China and India et al billions and trillions for 'climate change', then that is their choice.

I guess these kids should have followed your advice...

If the children had been kept at home they would not have been injured.

At least not that way.

He wants to bark about the GOP’s latest rat fucking strategy, find black and brown faced images of liberals in order to make them have to deny being racist.

He sucks at this and his sea lion game has gone south.

The conservative movement of the last forty years has been nothing but a long term gifting scheme.


If you are still a conservative Republican you’re a Sucker and a Mark.

The case is an important landmark in the government’s efforts to crack down on so-called “scam PACs.” Such PACs are easier than ever to set up in the wake of court rulings like Citizens United and gridlock at the Federal Election Commission, which shut down at the end of August as the retirement of GOP commissioner Matthew Petersen left the body without a quorum.

“Reynaldo Guevara, a now-retired Chicago police detective who investigated Johnson's case, has been accused by more than 51 people of framing them for murder, a 2017 BuzzFeed News investigation reported. At least 19 people have been exonerated in cases investigated by Guevara, according to BuzzFeed.”
