I think it would still be worthwhile. What percentage of the money going in to health insurance in the US is actually spent on medical procedures? Versus the money allocated to the nhs in the UK.

I think it would be more efficient, if not cheaper, to have a "federal insurance" or however you would call it. Any profits would go back to the general fund or something. Instead of lining a CEO's pocket.

Just fyi, "eye of needle" likely refers to a narrow gate into Jerusalem. Camels laden with baggage would have a hard time passing through. Rich man has a hard time because, unlike the camel, he is very attached to his baggage.

Hmm, a 40 second video with 200 likes. Guy doesn't even have a beard...

He's probably right, but I can't accept that video as the final word.

The real reason the DOJ is indicting Trump: the fact that he is leading Biden by 10+ points in the polls, Biden being a disaster of a president whom in 2 short years has both crushed the economy as well as nearly triggered WW3 already - as expected for a Neocon puppet president.

They know they can't beat him again so they are simply going to throw him in prison. This is election interference on a truly unprecedented scale.

Welcome to fascism, it's here and it won't stop until every last American is on their knees and begging for mercy.

As it turns it out, it was the so-called "democratic left" that were the real fascists all along. Wow, who could have possibly known? :lol:

In any case, this will not end in the way that the so-called elites expect it will - with their absolute control over every aspect of society and of our lives. They are merely accelerating the destruction of the country, which at this point is assured to end up in a state of balkanization.

I say, let them do it. I was sick of this shit anyway




Why say anything at all? You bring up problems like you are concerned. In the next breath you are saying you want everything to be destroyed. You are a goober.

Demonic forces?





Bruh..


Have you EVER gone to DMT world? Or taken a look at human history?

Seen the exorcist? Read the real reports?

Or maybe you personally have never experienced demonic forces.


Regardless, demonic forces are well documented in history.




I have done more than my fair share of DMT, hundreds of DMT trips. Even on bad trips, which are generally very rare, I have never experienced a demon. The exorcist was sweet though, even if totally cheesy and outdated.

Trump's word salads crack me up though. He actually thinks he saying something, and his followers do too.




Right. I read through the comments of that trump meet the press interview. Many seem to think his responses were genius.

All this sub talk brought back a memory. You folks remember that stuff about cocaine use on a sub? Maybe it was a surface vessel. Some lower rank girl was fucking the captain and came out in his uniform and sat in his chair on the bridge or whatever.

Ah, here it is.

It's like flakes, you put down the base coat and sprinkle the flakes in when it's wet. Then when cured you put a top coat over that. It's meant to look like marble. Which it kind of does. You can even buy matching plastic base board in the same flake. Or you can cut up the base board with the same coating as the coating generally is very good at adhering to vertical surface as it cures.

Yeah I like stuff that compliments the stuff around it.

I used to work in a medical building as a janitor. They had model rooms up on the top floor for some reason. The floor was otherwise empty. We kept all our janitor stuff up there. I loved wasting time in those rooms. You get any privacy in your show rooms?

Imagine thinking Biden can speak coherently. Do you just watch MSNBC and CNN all day? Have you ever listened to him give a speech, or are you just deaf? Be objective for once in your life and stop being blind to the very obvious because of your weird partisan political allegiances. Biden is not doing well.

Literally a majority of Democrats in multiple respected polls think that Biden is too old to run and want a different candidate. Again, are you deaf?




You know he's got a stutter, right?

I don't know if you're capable of that degree of objectivity but I would implore you to do so anyway. It might be a good learning experience for you.

"Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent. Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.

In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. All the cases prosecuted involved some combination of: clearly intentional and willful mishandling of classified information; or vast quantities of materials exposed in such a way as to support an inference of intentional misconduct; or indications of disloyalty to the United States; or efforts to obstruct justice. We do not see those things here."

In contrast to Trump's case.
"The counts in the Florida indictment focus on allegations that Trump illegally took highly sensitive government documents, ignored a court order to return them, and then lied about it. New allegations were added to the indictment in late July, including additional charges that Trump worked with his co-defendants to hide from federal investigators relevant surveillance footage they sought of workers moving confidential documents around the property." https://www.fultongrandjury.com/trump-indictments

A huge amount of landmark stuff. Alot of gay stuff don't ask don't tell gay marrage and stuff. Things advancing social progress like unemployment and Obamacare. Financial reforms like Dodds frank and consumer protection. A huge amount of stimulus spending on things like infrastructure and job creation programs during the recovery from the great recession. It goes on and on.




Ending DADT might be the only thing that qualifies as “change” here.

Woefully inadequate measures to address issues (like dodd Frank and the ACA) is something every president does.




I was under the impression that aca was gutted before Congress would pass it and that they refused to approve of many of Obama's appointments (judges and such). He tried and was cock blocked was my take away.

Has value, sure, but if middling right wing half measures is how we measure change then Biden is hope and change too.

I think even the koolaid chugging liberals will admit Obama’s tenure was a disappointment, and whether they blame him for it or not, his agenda of changing things did not happen by really any metric.




How is one to change anything when Congress won't play along?

My man had majorities in the house, senate, and a friendly Supreme Court. He could’ve done whatever he wanted and chose to govern like Bush.




I don't know if the majority thing is correct. It looks like they had a majority in the Senate but not the house of reps. They lost that Senate majority in 2014.
Wikipedia says that the a majority of supreme court members have been appointed by Republican presidents and that this has been the case since 1970.

I looked into it a bit more. The house majority at the beginning of Obama's presidency did not mean he could have passed anything he wanted. That time was used to pass aca and then only by a slim margin. It passed in the house 220-215. 39 Democrats voted no, only one Republican voted aye. I wonder what the relationship was between those nay Democrats and the insurance companies. In the Senate it was 60-39. The same year that aca was passed the Dems lost 63 seats in the house. They had a majority long enough to pass aca. I don't know how you can say nothing changed by any metric.
Medicaid expansion and coverage for those with pre-existing conditions are good things. https://www.statista.com/topics/3272/obamacare/#topicOverview says that as of now, roughly 40 million people "now benefit from ACA-related enrollment in health care programs such as Medicaid or purchased from the Marketplace."

As for "unprecedented obstruction", it really seems to be unprecedented. Before Republicans had control of the Senate, the confirmation success rate of Obama nominations was something like 90%. After they gained control of the Senate in November of 2014, that success rate fell to
28%.https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/oct/02/donald-trump/fact-check-why-barack-obama-failed-fill-over-100-j/
They also refused to vote on his appointment to replace the supreme Court Justice who died. It might also be worth mentioning how many states refused Medicaid expansion. As of now there're still ten states that have refused to expand Medicaid. 25 states refused to expand Medicaid initially. The states wouldn't have to pay for this expansion for the first three years if i remember correctly. The Fed would still have most of the burden after that. They just chose not to. Seems like obstruction or something.

Here's some of the other evil shit Republicans have been up to in regards to the aca for anyone who's interested.

They have every reason to do something like that. The West pumped opium into China and caused utter devastation. They have historical grievances against us. And Americans are being targeted and killed with fentanyl.




Why would China hurt themselves? COVID was bad for China.

He could live out his remaining years as some kind of birthday clown. "The Biden birthday family wants me to build this wall... Out of presents!"

Edit: maybe he uses balloons. It was too expensive to build a wall of presents

Edit:2 says he will use presents and he will get your parents to pay for them
