  1. We don't live in China, thank God.
  2. The media is STILL the enemy of the people. With each passing day my confidence in this FACT grows.
  3. Then you're ignoring how a pretty sizeable chunk of the Republican party hates him.
  4. There are not two sides to the political aisle. Most of these politicians serve the same interests. It's one of the reasons I voted Trump. He's not one of them. It's also the reason I voted Perot many years ago. He wasn't one of them. Populism and anti-globalism is the answer to our nation's woes, along with a complete teardown of the establishment.
  5. A really piss-poor attempt that instead of raising up many people, lowered many others.
  6. The bankruptcy courts gave it to creditors, obviously. Edit: as far as "healthcare being gone," I had FANTASTIC coverage from work pre-ACA. It went to ***** AFTER ACA. SO, instead of blaming the government for ***** it all up, I should blame my employer?
  7. We lost health care because SOMEONE decided it would be a bright idea to have the government handle health insurance mandates and acceptable pre-existing conditions. I said it then (you can research it if you'd like), the ACA was a BAD idea. They should have either gone to a medicare-for-all or left the market alone. Half-assing it wasn't the answer, it never is. As far as pensions go, I'll give you an anecdotal story. My father worked as a materials engineer for Bethlehem Steel for 40 years. A pension was part of his package of benefits. Know what that package is worth today? Zero. Why? Because the company which promised it doesn't exist any more. Fortunately for him, he was bright enough to understand that it wasn't something that was sustainable, and made preparations for his own retirement.
  8. So, If I went to school, studied hard, picked up a set of skills and got a job according to that skillset, I shouldn't be rewarded by the market for those skills? Tell me, if that's the case, what's the point of educating anyone? And as far as globalism goes, I'm against it. As I'm against free immigration. As I'm against corporate outsourcing and offshoring. As I'm against unlimited financial donations to political campaigns. As I'm against progressive taxation. Edit: as I was against the bailouts for banks and manufacturers during the Great Recession. But please, carry on with your misinformed opinion.
  9. The cure has always been worse than the disease.
  10. Nothing sells like class envy.
  11. Oh, how I wish the evil bot was here to take his richly deserved medicine.
  12. he's under obligation from his Islamic beliefs to be generous to fellow Muslims, is he not?
  13. I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, NFL opponents know this *****, too. Just maybe.
  14. This weekend? *****, man, we've had all of like four or five days over 60 so far this spring. We're gonna go from late winter to summer around these parts.
  15. I think what's needed is a general disregard for the authorities in this case. They can't arrest everyone, and any law which is widely disobeyed is soon abandoned. ***** the shamers. And ***** the politicians who feed off the shamers' fears to lock us all up like animals.
  16. What the hell were these clowns doing patrolling about, waving shotguns? Don't get me wrong. In MANY of these "we're being hunted everyday" cases, there WAS some reason for the shooting/death. This is not such a case. These guys decided to dispense summary justice in a completely arbitrary way, and that can't be allowed.
  17. SCIENCE DENIER! As pandemics go, it's no smallpox or even typhus. Thus the economic Hari-kiri was probably a grave error.
  18. You know what they say about opinions. Yours stink more than most. And I'm still not sold on Oliver. I think he thought you were talking about me instead of him.
  19. How dare people have confidence? Firechans demands you take up a suitably miserable demeanor!
  20. And yetttttt the Bills won. I realize it's hard for you to enjoy success because it runs counter to your crusade, but they did win. The Jets did not
