When I unpacked after my vacation, I realized that I have 4 half-used travel size toothpaste tubes. I always buy a new one for my vacation. It feels wasteful, but I don’t want to run out on my trip. And I can’t really judge how much is left. So I think I ‘m going to just use them not on vacation.
Anyway, most Republicans hate you and want you to die for want of healthcare.

Yes, Carl. It’s Republicans who hate you.
Vladimir spews:
Carl, here is a little trick that even a conservative can’t appreciate. Try using half as much tooth paste than you typically apply to your tooth brush. Chances are that you are applying too much, or more than you need. This will help cut down on the cost as well as the waste of the packaging and cost to get that toothpaste to the store for you to buy it.
I do the same with several of my hygiene products in addition to cutting my own hair. I noticed that I would use way too much shampoo and soap.
Also I noticed I didn’t need under arm deodorant every day, so I apply that every other day during the week and skip the weekends unless I have a special date.
This same approach can be taken with other household goods. I no longer buy garbage bags. I use the plentiful of plastic grocery store bags for my garbage bags. And I use a smaller plastic bag, distributed by my gym so that one can put their sweaty stuff in, for my small bathroom garbage can.
And if all that doesn’t help solve your problems, then just stop taking vacations.

BTW, I’ve been thinking this for a while but now some in the regular media are catching on. Trump is the inevitable product of right wing media.
Trump had no intention of governing. From Bannon and Gorka in the White House to overturning Trans Servicemen to selling advanced weaponry to suburban police to pardoning a racist Sheriff to selling water bottles in national parks… The actual motive for any Trump appointment and pronouncement is, “What will please Rush Limbaugh and anger liberals the most?”
None of it has anything to do with anything than a tiny-dick method of trying to make your “enemies” angry at you.
The problem for the GOP is that the segment of the party that agrees with this method of thinking is the 2-3% of Americans who consume Right Wing media on a daily basis. So the backlash is inevitable and you can see it already. There are Republicans who like nature and recycle and use Nalgene bottles. There are republicans who know Sheriff Joe is a waste of skin. There are lots of republicans who know that NAZIS and NOT NAZIS are sides and there isn’t a single doubt which one should be on. These are the GOP voters who will now openly tell you, “Of shit! We really didn’t think he was going to be as bad as you said but you are absolutely right. This guy is a know nothing asshole!”

Here’s the thing: It matters not much at all if Californians and New Yorkers can’t stand Trump. What matters is what the blue-collar white voters in swing states who either call or used to call themselves Democrats think about their lives and what they want for themselves and their families.

If Trump’s numbers come January 2019 are in the twenties and yet there are 55 GOP senators and the House is still led by Paul Ryan that month, is that a good thing or a bad thing for Democrats? (Hint: How old will RBG be that month?)

Key to this is understanding what kind of racists many of them are.
Specifically a ton of them are the:
I’m not a racist, but… type of racist, who simply cannot abide being perceived as racist. That’s rather important. Because as Fuckface continues to bear hug Nazis and The Klan, and put openly racist assholes like Arpaio and this guy up on his “fine people” pedestal they must recoil and disavow. Remember that belief flows from behavior as much as the other way around. And with Fuckface in office there will be plenty of opportunity in the years ahead to intervene in that cycle.
Roger Rabbit spews:
@37 Actually I don’t see many grassroots Republicans disavowing them. The recoil is coming mostly from their electeds, and one senses they recoil ONLY because they have to run for reelection. I think the Nazi-Klan-racist faction IS the Republican Party. What Nixon put in motion is finally blossoming after years of waiting for its opportunity to spring forth from the fertile soil that modern conservatism has composted itself into.

Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:
37,
there aren’t 63 million “grassroots” Republicans any more than there are that many “grassroots” Democrats.
Both parties are stuck vying for the votes of a rather vast number of detached disinterested voters. Fuckface reached them (in key states) and Clinton did not. That’s undeniable.
Sure, Fuckface is successfully redefining the GOP as the White Nationalist Party in America for decades to come. But exactly what that means was far from clear last summer and fall. It is becoming very clear this summer. And that will continue as long as Fuckface controls the White House podium and his Twitter account. Base supporters aren’t ever going to disavow the GOP or Fuckface. But recall how many Bush voters quietly pulled the F150 into the garage at night and began carefully scraping off the “W” stickers in 2005 and 2006.
It won’t happen overnight. But as I said, belief flows from behavior. As moderate, disinterested Fuckface voters continue their efforts explaining, rationalizing, and justifying their decision, even if only to themselves, and as Fuckface continues to betray those efforts, slowly their beliefs will change. The Southern Strategy absolutely depended on keeping the racism below the surface and largely out of sight of the voters whose support it was targeting.
Sure, tons of Republican voters are quite happy being seen and perceived as assholes. And they are almost entirely men (and you can’t convince me Coulter is not a man). Give their wives an alternative to “racist asshole” they can live with, and enough of them will jump. For now the key is reminding them over and over again who the “racist assholes” are. And compelling them to confront that and rationalize it. They will. And it will have it’s intended effect.

@10 Well you are talking apples and oranges here. In those 17 states the winner gets all the votes to the electoral college no matter the borders of districts. Same is true of the states two Senators. While the fight over the districts matter and how they are drawn it’s not going ot make much difference, and there will be a census and borders will have to be redrawn nation wide after 2020. Maybe Democrats would do better in trying to get the overall size of the house increased rather than have the same number of house members as there were in 1920. Or do the Democrats and Republican party hacks like the current system? I think they like it and this whole argument over districting is the same perennial issue it’s always been, with both parties fighting at the fringes and making sure they both have safe seats. Some circus for the masses though.
Mark AdamsYour into stocks so spews:
@6 While it may be a reasonable argument that Trump did not expect to win the Republican nomination, and at the time of the nomination did not do enough to prepare, and even after the election still did not fully prepare, it’s a fact though the man is governing.
He is having problem with his own party (well what do you expect when you were a registered Democrat for decades) who controls both chambers of Congress and can’t get the Republican agenda through. Sorry they should have put something on the President’s desk over health care. This demonstrates the power of the President is somewhat illusory, if the congress doesn’t put something on your desk you are down to picking on the Koreans, Presidential orders, ect. The President hands are tied even on the amount of aid he puts into the hurricane effort in Texas. There are plenty of military and national guard ready to go, but it will come down to Congress to appropriate the money, and the current efforts are coming out of various slush funds, and well the US debt goes up and the ceiling comes closer, quicker. Not the President fault if Paul Ryan can’t herd the cats in the House. And now with North Korea sending missiles over Japan the President has some actual power.OH that is right some of you are Anti Texas and think we should separate from it or return it to Mexico. Well Mexico can’t cope with the current disaster in Texas either.

Still you cannot get votes by your tactics. If you are gonna call people horrible then they, are going to vote for someone anyone not calling them that, even their politics don’t agree. There are plenty of black and Hispanic voters whose economic status, religion, ect makes them Republican’s yet they vote Democrat for some reason….oh they think Republican’s don’t like them because of the color of their skin. The Republicans have tried to adjust their message to attract these voters unsuccessfully thus far. Still if it came down to voters voting in their best interests a lot of those black and Hispanic voter would go Republican.
Democrats need to keep themselves on Main Street America or get back onto Main Street which means you must be more interested in getting these peoples votes than in degenerating them.
Mark AdamsYour into stocks so spews:
@21 Probably about the same there has been a disconnect between Main Street and the Washington bubble probably since government moved to Washington, but the gap in spite of the internet, media, mail, ect is pretty wide. Just as the gap between Wsll Street and Main Street is very wide, and sometimes hiccups on one has no effect on the other or brings down the house. Though Main Street is much more important than Wall Street and folks on Main Street are far more important than Wall Street (corporations can’t vote), but it appears our politicians will dance and call and prostitute themselves for that green stuff.
Mark AdamsYour into stocks so spews:
@34 I think it would be interesting if some Republican office holder would run the way you are suggesting, but none of them are.
If Trump is willing to do what Obama was unwilling to do and go out and help (campaign for) Republican candidates. (Hmmm some of those politicians are showing up at his rallies and are on stage at them.) The Republicans may be able to keep their losses in the house to a small number, and the incumbent party in a congressional election they are going to lose some seats, no matter what Trump does. As some of you are saying they own the government, but Trump’s popularity or unpopularity does not automatically turn into a small loss of seats in the hours or the House going Democratic. And it’s very possible for the Republican’s to gain seats in the 2018 election, no matter the popularity of the President, and there are primaries, and in some districts and states those are more important than the election because the winner of the REpublican race is (barring a major fuck up) the once and future congressman or woman front he district or state.
As far as Washington state is concerned it’s possible for the Democrats to pick up a house seat, but the odds are high, it’s even possible the Republicans can pick up a house seat, or a Senate seat, because you all think you got in the bank already, and you don’t
