If old people want to eat they should go out and get jobs instead of spending all their money on bingo and those crap sweets they all seem to love.

Oh, I'm definitely woke. Maybe you are pretending not to be. You don't want to open your eyes and see that you are already in the wilderness. If you ever do realize where we are, if you'll future indulge me, I'll save you the trouble of the next realization: you can't get out the way you came in.

Dumb Trump voters credit Trump for seeing benefits from Obamacare

Quote:

Soon after Charla McComic’s son lost his job, his health-insurance premium dropped from $567 per month to just $88, a “blessing from God” that she believes was made possible by President Trump.

“I think it was just because of the tax credit,” said McComic, 52, a former first-grade teacher who traveled to Trump’s Wednesday night rally in Nashville from Lexington, Tenn., with her daughter, mother, aunt and cousin.

The price change was actually thanks to a subsidy made possible by former president Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which is still in place, not by the tax credits proposed by Republicans as part of the health-care bill still being considered by Congress.

Amazing. This guy is gonna get reamed if Ryancare passes, too.

Quote:

McComic said she’s not worried about her disability benefits changing or her 3-year-old granddaughter getting kicked off Medicaid or her 33-year-old son’s premiums going up.

These poor saps.

And there's, well, this:

Quote:

As Ware, who is white, waited in line for the rally to start, a group of young African American protesters walked by, and she yelled at them, “Go cash your welfare checks!”

Hard to tell who gave a worse answer to "what do you like to read?" between Donald Trump and Sarah Palin.

It's okay, reading is a worthless liberal value anyway.

Did I read that Trump paid 25% in taxes and the socialist Bernie Sanders paid only 13%?

That has got to be embarrassing for you folks.

It's true: Trump is not considered the "Leader of the Free World." That title is falling to Angela Merkel.

Aye, batair, you've been fighting the good fight with me for the better part of a year, on our pv8.8 tour of duty, but it's time to board the helicopter.

It's all that ball-tingling insanity we thought wasn't really real before the election, like when that video was posted talking about voter IDs and the clown interviewed a bunch of black folk in the heart of NY, like probably a block or 2 from the DMV. Yeah, sure, ok, sure.

You mean the leader of the Free world who bowed down to Trump's demand of paying the 2% of GDP that Germany agreed to within 4 weeks of him mentioning it?

Leader of a union that will disintegrate due to her failures, particularly?

Lol. Merkel being the leader of the Free world is hilarious.

I'm actually not a big fan of Trump. I'm a big fan of how miserable the left is because he won.

Plus, my reading was you weren't even being totally serious when calling him an idiot, which kinda aligns with the topic at hand about financial mistakes.

Angela Merkel is now the leader of the free world, not Donald Trump
The US President isn’t motivated by protecting liberal democracy or freedom, his sole ideology is Trumpism: corporate autocracy with a populist facade. And he surrounds himself with white nationalists even more hostile to liberal democracy than he is
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/...-a7556986.html

Quote:

This is not an attempt to be provocative or exaggerate for effect. Donald Trump cannot claim the mantle of “leading” the free world by default. America’s military might is not the only criteria necessary.

The title also requires the President to be committed to the values of liberal democracy. But unlike his predecessors since the Second World War, it is already clear that Trump has no such inclinations. He is heading, at terrifying speed, in the opposite direction.

Do I even have to make the case for this? Since his inauguration Trump has undermined and ignored judges, even though an independent judiciary and a separation of powers is key to a democracy.

But the ban on immigrants highlighted something far more draconian. If a President can abruptly restrict the rights of US residents without bothering with lawmakers or even government departments, he is in effect an autocrat. That is exactly what Trump did and will continue to do so. His actions don’t just undermine the rights of all Americans, they undermine the institutions that support American democracy.

Then there is Trump’s assault on international trade and cooperation. He is already threatening Mexico, China and now the EU. Who will be next? We can debate whether globalisation benefits people equally, but only a fool would deny that international trade is a global good. And it can only work if done on an equal, rules-based footing. But Trump doesn’t care for those, he is ripping up international agreements so he can bully smaller countries into submission. That sets a dangerous precedent for the entire world.

And lastly there is the Trump administration’s hostility towards the media. Regardless of its bias, a thriving democracy needs a media willing to challenge the government. Trump isn’t just hostile to criticism, in his warped world it must be driven by lies and vindictiveness. He is wracked by deep insecurity. When his chief aide Steve Bannon says the media should “keep its mouth shut” – they mean it. They don’t want a free media criticising them at all. These are words that dictators use, not democrats.

The US President isn’t motivated by protecting liberal democracy or freedom, his sole ideology is Trumpism: corporate autocracy with a populist facade. And he surrounds himself with white nationalists even more hostile to liberal democracy than he is.

Having grown up in communist East Germany before re-unification, Angela Merkel is the polar opposite. She doesn’t just recognise the sounds of autocracy, she chose to escape it.

The rights move is always to try and find hypocrisy on the left (and they find it plenty no doubt lol sting etc) but real people with an honest grievance sincerely trying to solve it or worse others sincerely trying to help triggers them harder than anything in existence.

It must be on some level hypocrisy makes them comfortable. Of course Limbaugh is a pill popping fraud, even Micheal savage is a poodle shagging bull****ter, the God damn president is hypocrisy incarnate. Therefore it's OK that I'm not a good person. That I have prejudicial thoughts that I cheat on/yell at my wife or am a bit of an ******* to my kids. I don't need to bother trying to better myself look at the world.

It's further enhancing this idea of the celebration of mediocrity by applying it to ethics and morals. The celebration of a mediocre morality.
