Not blond, Taffy. His hair is orange.

Bill Maher ever said that trump paints his face orange (the tan and the dyed hair) the color of the ass of an orangutan in order to look alpha male.

Maybe you should try a little harder to understand peoples motives. Take my case, I also use hair dye, perhaps in a mistaken attempt to not stand out, in view of my age compared to the ages of others around me. I am open-minded you see and I feel if I were stuck in that lift with Trump over the weekend he would get around to telling me why he paints his skin and touches up his hair(if you say he does) Either way, he may be the president but he can be expected to have some foibles without being a risk to his country. I was going to safe "safe pair of hands" but in true chimp-gang-up mode the American populations seems to be picking on him for appendages he can do little about. Pathetic comes to mind. I don't know who this Bill Maher is but he sounds like the school bully.

The 'stuck in a lift over the weekend' means exactly that. It used to happen a lot. Been films about the dialogue. Actually the Chinese are good at those sort of quality films, where you have to act well to pull it off. i'm saying that because it still eludes me what I was supposed to have said which could have been mistaken. Taffy said what? Must have been serious?

Patience, Fifi. The old white working-class males are going to lose their health care coverage in the red states if Trump's health bill passes: They will also know how it is not to get medical care when they need it.

I am really not trying to be funny, Fifi, and maybe you wrote this hastily- "old, white and male" does sound a tad racist, sexist and ageist you know. Sounds like you're happy that these whites will get their comeuppance? "They will also know how it is not to get medical care when they need it." I suppose Trump is the quintessential whitey with his blond hair?

Yep, workers are poorer while the rich get richer:

Almost one-quarter of workers said they and their spouse combined have less than $1,000 saved for retirement, according to a report from the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Nearly half of everyone surveyed said they had less than $25,000.

It works in Northern Europe. Taxation rates that U.S. Republicans would call 'confiscatory'.

If the U.S. had taxation rates and regulatory control of 'loopholes' equivalent to the U.S. in the 1950s and 60s, there would be NO national debt.

The U.S. lost control of its government to elites as their percentage of their wealth climbed relentlessly in Reagan's wake.

In the meantime, we've been distracted by social issues. Guns and trans-gender bathrooms.

Elites wet their boat-shoes on their yachts laughing at us.

You express yourself well; I understand.

My views about wealth are not 'middle of the road'.

I cannot sit at a dinner table and gorge myself while someone else at the table does not have anything to eat.

I believe that is more than a metaphor; it is the core of morality. Once every human has food, housing, healthcare and education, then, and only then, can any human justifiably have more than he can eat, more beds than he can sleep in, plastic surgery... more money than he can ever spend.

Enormous wealth is immoral in a world where children still starve.

Equitable distribution of wealth is no longer untenable. It is a choice that we should make. And people do not generally peacefully divest themselves of wealth.

Anger at Trump voters is as nonsensical as their anger at gay marriage, abortion and immigration..

For over 50 years, the .01 elite of the U.S. has drained social services and employment from U.S. society and transformed it into consolidated capital.

These vampire elites, Democrat and Republican puppeteers both, are quite happy to see your anger at 'hillbilly town' and equally pleased with poor white anger at liberal culture.

Until the day when ALL U.S. citizens decide to unite to eviscerate the Soros, Koch, Zuckerberg, Walton, Gates, et al, nothing will change.

That is so true. I am honestly sick of reading articles that say something along the lines of,'the majority of residents in this angry white hillbilly town voted for Trump. Now, most of them may lose their healthcare.' The authors clearly expect me to feel pity; all I feel is schadenfreude.

Trump is affecting the whole country. He is affecting the whole world. If his idiot voters get the rug pulled out from under them, at least it was a consequence of their own stupid, self-involved little choices.

And, frankly, yeah, it is high time for white, Christian, heterosexual, cisgender, males of a certain age in the USA to take a hit...probably for the first time in their lives.

A Texas lawmaker has proposed a bill that would fine a man $100 each time he masturbates.


The bill also imposes a 24-hour waiting period if a guy wants a colonoscopy or a vasectomy, or if he's in the market for some Viagra.
Rep. Jessica Farrar, a Democrat, knows her bill isn't going to get very far. But she proposed it last week to make a point and give male lawmakers a taste of their own medicine.


Farrar has long been an advocate of women's health in a state that has made it extremely difficult for women to get abortions. And the bill, by pointing out a sexist double standard, is meant to shine a light on the obstacles women deal with when it comes to their health care.


"Let's look at what Texas has done to women," Farrar told CNN. "What if men had to undergo the same intrusive procedures?"


Farrar's bill would penalize men for masturbation because such behavior is a failure to preserve the sanctity of life and "an act against an unborn child."

And Rep. Farrar added:

Texas has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world.

The Republicans responded to her the same way the old white bitter men used to reply to Liberals on this board.
