Political Discussion

[Hemotep]

Of course. I’m not a user but a friend shared the video. My wife looked into it and it appears the guy is probably stretching.

There were a lot of rumors because she went to Russia on Putin's invitation like a bunch of the Republican reps before the election 8 years ago. And I think she was appearing on that RT channel a fair amount around then too. If nothing else she seems like a useful idiot even if not actually funded directly by them. The Greens would have been smart to drop her years ago and the fact that they've just lobbed her up election after election makes them a bad joke after years of making positive inroads against the two party system. By the time she's out of the picture they'll need to spend a lot of time rehabbing their image before they'll ever get more than the idiotic vaccine-denying liberal suburban mom vote again.

That’s what the video was referencing.

Trump campaign chief says 2024 election ‘not over’ until Inauguration Day

Last month, Trump’s co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita said, “It’s not over until he puts his hand on the Bible and takes the oath. It’s not over until then. It’s not over on Election Day, it’s over on Inauguration Day, cause I wouldn’t put anything past anybody.” NBC News’ Jonathan Allen joins...

We are not a serious country.

The actual SI article:

U.S. Athletes Are Taking Full Advantage of Free Healthcare in Olympic Village

Women’s rugby player Ariana Ramsey’s videos showcasing her appointments have gone viral, and now many others are making good use of Paris's medical services.

Hahaha.

The this country

So I posted that SI article in a thread about the high costs of healthcare in the United States and it has already been removed by mods.

Reasons. "Political, multiple reports". And got a reminder that political discussion is not allowed.

Why are people so up in arms about universal healthcare and stories like this and feel the need to report my post as being political.

I also hate comments / replies like this:

The French public heathcare system is around 12% of the countries GDP, roughly 335 BILLION dollars annually. If they are claiming something that costs 335 billion dollars a year is free, then I'll need to find a much bigger rolleyes gif

Why is a government paid for healthcare system inherently bad / evil?

It’s not an entitlement when I need it, only when you need it.

I had a staunch tow the party line Republican who worked for me. He had to apply for Family Medical Leave. I normally referred to it as a benefit (which was inaccurate but the way the staff usually saw it). With this staff member, I referred to it as an entitlement to fuck with him.

Here's some good news:

I don't know about you, but my math Spidey-sense says for Harris to poll at 46% for the white vote, she must be at 50% or more of the white female vote.

Citizens United was and has been a train wreck. Great win for corporate capitalism, big loss for representative democracy.

Not unless they have a supplemental insurance

The dude who took all the AIPAC $$ and barely defeated Bush was just on NPR and of course they didn’t ask the obvious question; would he legislate with deference to AIPAC’s agenda? What did AIPAC purchase?
