The Politics Thread

[DRW50]

Yes. I have a special disdain for the pundits and centrists in the press who insisted they would never get rid of the ACA because the public had gotten used to it. The GOP and Trump don't care about that (the same reason they will also ban gay marriage within the next few years). They want to destroy everything tied to Obama or to any progress. They hate this country, they hate us, they hate each other. They only want death and despair.

Next few years?  I'll be shocked if gay marriage lasts past 2026, lol.

The thing is, I, myself, would not advocate for marriage for anyone, because I think marriage itself has outlived its' usefulness as an institution.  BITD, people married for one reason and one reason only, and it wasn't because they were in love, lol.

Then what should we have then if not marriage? 

[Khan]

I didn't say I would ABOLISH marriage, lol.  I just don't see what all the fuss is about (for anyone, gay or straight).

It goes against literally everything I've ever been taught, but I think people should just live together without needing to "make it legal."  If you want to add your partner to your insurance or whatever, then you should be able to; and if you want to make sure they're taken care of in the event of your passing, then just make out an ironclad will.

[Khan]

Exactly.  And you know something else we, the public, have gotten used to?  Abortion.  And look where THAT is today.

And they said the same thing then! 

They are rich and none of this will affect them, or so they think.

 (Of course I know it's a deflection tactic on the pig's part.)

But yeah... in the end pigs are going to eat each other. Dostoevsky said it best in his novel "The Brother Karamazov" - "Viper will eat viper, and it would serve them both right!"
