Monday

A few things crossing my mind on Monday:

• One of the more ridiculous arguments against Medicare for All is that it will make "lines longer". Well, I suppose if universal health care means that 30 million more people have coverage, then I suppose the wait times might be a little longer. I, for one, am okay with that.
• Mueller was appointed by the Trump administration. Why doesn't the media reference this fact in every story about Mueller?
• Democratic presidents have been better than Republican presidents. Having said that, Democratic presidents have also been at the center of things like the Vietnam War, welfare "reform", stop and frisk, draconian and racist crime laws, the deregulation of the banking and securities industries, the weakening of labor law enforcement, and support of Israel no matter what it does. This list could go on and on. And all these things were supported by the centrists of the party, the same centrists we are being told are the only hope of saving us from Donald Trump. Pardon me if I am hesitant.
