LazyPiranha Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 When my wife did IVF for our second, insurance covered damn near everything. Drugs, procedures, genetic testing, the whole thing. Literally the only thing they didn’t cover which is absurdly stupid, is cryogenic freezing of the embryos. I can understand, maybe, in some situations that not being a part of it, but our situation required genetic testing for each embryo to ensure viability. Not freezing them would essentially mean paying damn near $30,000 to throw it all away at the very end. On top of that, it’s unbelievably less expensive to freeze them and keep them if you want to have another after a successfully birth than it is to pay for another round. Really fucking stupid penny pinching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The context in which she was answering involved the changes to her positions on fracking and immigration, so she was framing it within the notion that her values have remained consistent while the circumstances in which they were exercised changed. Or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I’m just looking at it through the eyes of the uninformed dumbass swing voter that will likely decide the election and I’m getting the “meandering word salad that doesn’t seem to firmly answer the question” vibes that tends to turn them off. Not a problem if it’s just one question in one interview, but I think it would be a bad look if this is how she answers everything at the debate. Yes, she’ll be debating word-salad-in-chief Trump, but unfortunately dumbass swing voters give him a pass for dumbass reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 “Boring” is the absolute best way for this interview to have gone. Honestly, Kamala’s entire strategy for the next three months should be to be as boring and normal as possible and let Trump be Trump. She just needs to exist as the adult in the room, the middle of the road sanity candidate that stands in contrast to the Trump shit show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Obama’s MO, FWIW. He was great on the stump, mostly “do no harm” in interviews and debates. It’s a workable combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Trump's dumb ass legit stressed me out multiple times per week when he was in office. I'll be glad if we never see anything like that again. I normally don't give a shiiiit about what the President is doing on most (but not all, of course) days! As it should be! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im more interested in seeing how lawyered up the Dems have become this time in anticipation of all the BS cause this time the Dems are sitting in the White House so the MAGats would have to go all out crazy to dislodge them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
