Fox News disabled the comments section of an article by the Associated Press about President Barack Obama’s 17-year-old daughter, Malia Obama, after readers flooded the post with racist comments, calling her a racial slur, an “ape,” a “monkey” and accusing her of not deserving her entry to the university but getting it thanks to “Black privilege.”

The Republicans have a big Obamacare problem: the parts of the law they don't like — the Medicaid expansion, taxing rich people to pay for poor people's health care, and regulating insurers so they can't deny people with pre-existing conditions — are the parts of the law that voters, including Trump voters, do like.
Phil Klein is a conservative health wonk and writer who has literally written the book on Republican healthcare plans says "We don't believe'-"We" here being Republicans-"We don't believe that it is the job of the federal government to guarantee that everybody has health insurance."
Boy I can't wait to see what the Republicans come up with.
- Cheaper meds from Big Pharma for one, that in of itself would be yuge win!robotron3k

Idiot.hobgoblin - the real 'snowflakes' here are the guys like you who in less than 4 days are already losing your minds that so many people dislike Trump .hobgoblin
- Go hard. Go early.

Trump ends free trade agreements, likely driving up prices of imported goods. When the prices of everything his constituents buy at big box stores go up, they are going to be pissed. Maybe he should have made all those new jobs first...
- In a way it's good. E.g., button up shirts should jot cost only $10 (H&M, Uniqlo et al). They are cheap because someone is getting fucked.wagshaft
- ^ yupGnash
- If it's cheap textiles you're talking about, more than likely the person getting fucked is the worker in BangladeshBuddhaHat
- Sounds good in theory but reality is those struggling go for cheapest option. So if you can't afford the increase in prices, you're going to struggle.BusterBoy
- My view is that goods have become so cheap and disposable that we end up buying way more shit than we need. Maybe an increase in prices would be in good.wagshaft
- It could help folks be more responsible and thoughtful about buying things. And hopefully the world is better for it. Wages, environment... maybe jobs.wagshaft
- Agreed. It's been a race to the bottom on everything. Cheap Samsung TV's, cheap H&M clothes, cheap food, cheap cheap cheap. What does this really cost us?inteliboy
- So we all agree this is going to cost Trump politically, when with his own peoplesarahfailin

Shia LaBeouf Gets Into Intense Shouting Match With White Supremacist
Shia LaBeouf launched an anti-Trump livestream event outside the Museum of the Moving Image. A guy appears at the beginning of the video where he says “14,” a rallying call to white supremacists. As he started to say slogans like "We must secure the existence of the white people...," LaBeouf steps in and begins shouting in the man's face (without ever laying a hand on him). Eventually, he's able to scare him away with the power of his chanting.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/n…Trump Meets Labor Union Heads and Promises to Build
http://www.nbcnews.com/business/…- Just a political stunt by Trump...the TPP was already dead in both the senate and congress. #GoTeamTrumputopian
- ^ was it? I though HRC was pushing for it.Gnash
- HRC was pushing for it initially but pulled back after strife from the left. McCain made a statement today saying Trump made a mistake & China will dominatelowimpakt
- China will surely be happy, but the way the TPP was written didn't seem great for NA in the long run -- aside from mega corpsGnash
- Bernie praises Trump http://wapo.st/2kkfO…vero_vandal
- along with Rust Belt Democrats, those same types that got him elected. Your average blue collar worker.vero_vandal

now-or-never chanceGnash - i thought this was a good thing... i feel like recently everyone was freaking out about TPPscarabin
- Such a complicated deal. Full details were only recently released. Difficult for the average person to comprehend implicationsGnash

- Not sure this is it, but let's hope the DNC finds a way to revitalize themselves. otherwise it may be 8 years of donny.Gnash

Cenk admits the Dems are broken
'The Young Turks' host Cenk Uygur announced a new political movement during Monday’s show to answer a broken and corporate Democratic party. Uygur, Progressive host, Kyle Kulinski, and former Bernie Sanders staffers, Zack Exley and Saikat Chakrabarti, are the co-founders of Justice Democrats - which aims to support and advance policy platforms that have stalled within the Democratic party. The candidates that run under Justice Democrats will not be funded by corporate donors. Instead, it will be sourced and funded by the people.
