nojo at Stinque helps explain the Britain vote with the Conservative healthcare proposal for a “dementia tax.” Seems similar to Republican plans for Medicaid.
At The Intersection of Madness and Reality, Rippa hears from a few friends on the left. Seems they doubt that Russia hacked the elections. That’s because Hillary was awful, and it’s just an excuse, and intelligence agencies say Russia interfered and you can’t trust government, and the nomination was stolen from Bernie, and Bernie would have won.
