" Australia have one of the most strict immigration policy on this planet. They even push back boatpeople on sea. Not sure why Australia would complain about Trump and shitty refugee deals. Poe Pvp experience https://youtu.be/Z6eg3aB_V1g?t=302 Last edited by Head_Less on Feb 5, 2017, 3:08:58 AM

"1. Spicer butchered their PM's name. Relatedly. 2. CNN-style leftist media is an American export. I'm guessing from the "Herr Trump" that Charan is fairly liberal. 3. The actual phone call between Trump and Turnbull was pleasant and productive, avoiding to Trump and Turnbull. There are rumors of it being less cordial, with Trump losing temper, but officials on both sides deny. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" Because he's an old commie using the typical socialist tactic of class warfare. In the past socialists would go after the rich capitalists, bourgeoisie and clergy. But since the later two don't really exists or hold power anymore, all that is left is the "1%" in terms of wealth. But the catch is: after the "1%" upper class is being eliminated, err.. I mean socialized, the social inequality is still not solved, therefore socialism always goes after the next percent, which would be the middle class - until everyone is equally poor. The initial goal of stripping too much power from the wealthy elites, is a good goal, but socialism is a very bad strategy to do it. What needs to be done is separating politics from the influence of money (like state-church separation), without going full Cuban revolution and ending up in the gutter. Don't be fooled by this old well-meaning grampa. He might be telling you he's a "democratic socialist", but in the past his clique was fully supporting "revolutionary dictatorships" like SU, commie China, Cuba... When night falls

I have inside information from a high level republican that Trump is about to court African Americans hard. Like go into roughest places, talk with religious leaders, and promise to bring jobs, roads, factories etc. Imagine that if he gets the black vote. Kills dems narrative entirely and their chances.
Obviously I dont agree with it because im a Turbo Capitalist but stay tuned. Git R Dun! Last edited by Aim_Deep on Feb 5, 2017, 4:27:42 AM

"2016 Trump didn't talk much about this, actually. Sure, he went on about how shitty Obamacare is (because it is shitty), and he said it had to be repealed and replaced. But replaced with what? No details on the campaign trail. Although from his early life until 2004-ish Trump was a staunch advocate of single-payer healthcare a la Canada. Decidedly left of Obama. So... yeah. When the "replace" rollout starts getting into high gear, I'm going to be laughing my ass off at all the Trump haters who thought Trump was going to fuck them over on healthcare, and at all the ancap butthurt from those who were eagerly anticipating a corporatist solution. Not to mention the tortured language in Republican explanations of how single-payer is the way out of the Obamacare debacle. The cognitive dissonance will be delicious.

" You cant replace it with better unless you address supply side which Trump nor any other US politicains will never do including Democrats who are on the take as well. e.g. multimillionaire doctors which used to be a middle/upper middle class profession. Drugs which US military pays a fraction for (something Eisenhower negotiated) and they still profit while American public subsidizes the world. A industry which is in violation of multiple Federal laws and SC decisions. A industry which sucks 20% of GDP When it used to be 5%! https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=231797 https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=163733 http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/09/want-fix-economy-first-fix-healthcare.html Git R Dun!

" What you said makes a lot o sense, specially: " Always thought that "Our Revolution" sounded a bit over the top. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Revolution | |
" Are those numbers for real, or are you joking? Can I ask you what kind of insurance do you have, it is a basic "citizen insurance" or are you employed / business owner? (sry dont know the proper english terms) Because in the post-socialistic heaven where I live and has only ~70% GDP of AU GDP per capita, only if you are unemployed the cost of insuring you (payed by others) will be lower then $1.000 per year. The moment you are employed you will pay more than that. And god forbid you are self-employed / business owner, then the state will take away ~200 EUR per month at the very minimum, but scaling up the more income you have. (that is just health insurance, not counting "pension insurance" - both are mandatory, you cant opt-out) Even then, the insurance will not cover all your medications, a good chunk of it you'll have to additionally pay by yourself. If those numbers you cited are real, then congratulations to the Aussies. Your system is probably much less corrupt and "special-interests"-driven, so you manage to "leak" less money.
