You seem to have the ability to know what HR1 would actually be if it were passed into law even though at this point it is only a concept.

You seem to have the ability to miss the forest for the trees on an all too frequent basis. Do you need the definition of the word "ultimately" explained to you, or are you quite content looking like the uneducated impecunious schmo you claim to be in your bio?

If the actual law resembles the concept as much as the ACA resembled the concept on a public option then HR1 will not accomplish what you think it will.

While I recognize your expertise and have no opposition whatsoever to your testimony as an expert in "concepts that will not accomplish anything," I do forcefully object to the ridiculous nonsensical assertion that you know what I'm thinking.

But at this point HR1 is not even advanced beyond the concept point as far as One Demand is.

Three things:

* You would be wise to stay in your wheelhouse and discuss things you actually know, which is a short list as you've heretofore acknowledged and proven.

* While it's "newer" than your tired BS, it's freaking hysterically comical that you'd compare the ultimate intent of the concepts of HR-1 to your own failed political venture in an attempt to besmirch it by comparison.

* Your shit is losing to pie! :)

"i will always put my pie where my mouth is (dairy allergy notwithstanding). however, in spite of don's assertions to the contrary, other parts of my body are off limits."

What about deconstructed pie? Don't knock it until you've tried it. Pie filling feels wonderful on certain other body parts, for instance. Plus it has the added advantage of being completely edible and biodegradable. So it's environmentally safe pie.

i will always put my pie where my mouth is (dairy allergy notwithstanding). however, in spite of don's assertions to the contrary, other parts of my body are off limits.

sorry, i just don't feel that way. not even about pie.

So... you lack the courage of your convictions, sir?

I did not take you for a man who wouldn't put his money... scratch that... I mean pie where his mouth is. ;)

the main difference between h.r.1 and the 54 attempted aca repeals is the eventual result if similar legislation ultimately passed into law. in the event that they both passed, the democratic bills would result in tens of thousands more people voting, while the republican bills would result in tens of thousands more people dying.

Great point. Also, if H.R. 1 was ultimately passed into law, it would overturn the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United and mandate more disclosure of outside money and establish a public financing match for small contributions, which absolutely and unequivocally addresses Don's core issue of "Big Money."

The fact that Don Harris is still busy posting the same ridiculous bullshit that is laser focused on proving how Republicans and Democrats are the same when Democrats' H.R. 1 actually does address many of his core issues tells you everything you need to know.

of course, neither one addresses the core issue of pie, so i guess they're really both the same.

Another great point, of course. Now... put on your thinking cap, close your eyes, and imagine a scenario where you had spent an inordinate amount of time whining about how both parties were corrupt on a scale akin to Satan and Hitler for not addressing your core issue and then one of the "bastards" had the wherewithal to make pie crust, filling, and pizza pie an integral part of their H.R. 1 number one priority, and your response was more of your same canned whipped cream spew.

Ponder on that for just a smidge and then answer me this:

Would it surprise you in the least if someone/anyone of the regular commenters on this board or even the author of the blog told you to take your pie and shove it straight up your backside?

Asking for a friend, of course. ;)

Now you need to learn to look at content.

Nancy knows: if you really want to put heat on your opponent, propose something their constituents might actually want to see happen. That's how the process moves forward. Hell, in six month's time, the GOP might even claim that these ideas were theirs all along!

of course, neither one addresses the core issue of pie, so i guess they're really both the same.

who could possibly be against pie? CW and all the weigantians who have not come out in favor of pie should be ashamed of their tacit support of big cake and canned whipped cream.

I blame the scare-a-van barreling toward the Southern border with Small Pox, cake, and New Shimmer Non-Dairy Floor Wax. ;)

And I have respect for pie... pizza, pizza. :)

"Who, after all, can be FOR bribery?"

Everyone here that is not supporting One Demand.

So you believe everyone that doesn't support your failed attempt at political activism is "FOR bribery"?

Unless you're kidding, I regret to inform you that nothing is wrong with the rest of the world; however you would be well served to seek professional help for paranoid personality disorder. #Seriously

I love this!! Make the Republicans come out against common sense laws people will get behind and watch them try to make up reasons why they are bad!

Yep!

I did have that drink for you on election night when you were infuriated when trying to cast your ballot; it sure sounded like you were facing every single one of those myriad of ways to be disenfranchised.

You're right they're going to have to make up some good BS to continue to disenfranchise the electorate because the facts are quite simply not in their favor: The GOP is against addressing voting issues because Republicans gain and hold onto power through the routine disenfranchisement of voters. The last thing the GOP wants is for a vast majority of legal voters to be able to easily cast a ballot. That's why they constantly scream about nearly nonexistent voter fraud while taking proactive measures to make it near impossible for many American citizens to cast a valid vote. Can you imagine the collective freak out and heads exploding across Red-state territory if voting in all 50 states and DC were made as convenient and accessible to everyone as the vote-by-mail system adopted in Oregon? It'd be sick to watch. ;)

A person ought to be able to vote in America without the BS y'all were put through on election day. I would wager there were at minimum at least a quarter million voters in Georgia who were disenfranchised in one way or another, and now is the time to change that. Texas voters face a lot of the same issues, but the fact that against all those shenanigans Beto O'Rourke came within 2.6% of defeating Ted Cruz and Stacy Abrams within a hair's breath is something to build on... full steam ahead. :)

Let's see how it plays out, I'd still like to see Trump put against the wall for his myriad of crimes, but tempering the actions of the incoming house will pay bigger dividends in 2020.

a la mode is of course permissible. although it may once have been pie-centric, canned whipped cream is now part of the big cake agenda, and under control of the BCP's. however, if you come out publicly in favor of pie, your canned whipped cream tendencies may be overlooked.

"CW and all the weigantians who have not come out in favor of pie should be ashamed of their tacit support of big cake and canned whipped cream."

But canned whipped cream goes great on pie! How can you have pie without at least some whipped cream on top or ice cream on the side a la mode?

My home and auto radio tuners might as well be soldered to my local NPR station. It's the only radio worth listening to these days....at least in my market. Not just for the news....the music is diverse and very well curated.

Dysfuntional Donny Two Scoops is giving the Democrats some very easy plays. Sulk on!
