  1. Was going to go, but, other obligations came up and the designated funds were used on necessity. Shame that, I'd have loved to do it.
  2. I'm sure paying the continental army had something to do with that.
  3. You can't be serious. How about three years of reporting on fictitious Russia collusion? Ukraine? Going back further, how about WMDs in Iraq? Any of this ringing a bell?
  4. The fact that they work as the mouthpiece of an increasingly untrustworthy unelected federal bureaucracy?
  5. Literally everyone knows China's air is bad. It's just some (the mainstream media) choose to ignore it in favor of chastizing western countries about CO2.
  6. We don't live in China, thank God.
  7. The media is STILL the enemy of the people. With each passing day my confidence in this FACT grows.
  8. Then you're ignoring how a pretty sizeable chunk of the Republican party hates him.
  9. 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.
  10. A really piss-poor attempt that instead of raising up many people, lowered many others.
  11. 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?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. The cure has always been worse than the disease.
  15. Nothing sells like class envy.
  16. Oh, how I wish the evil bot was here to take his richly deserved medicine.
  17. he's under obligation from his Islamic beliefs to be generous to fellow Muslims, is he not?
  18. I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, NFL opponents know this *****, too. Just maybe.
