    “Democrat International sex perv”

     

    As opposed to the Republican Domestic Sex Perv, Roger Ailes who was never investigated? Or the formerly Democrat then Republican accused and self professed Sex Perv who got elected president? Or the Republican Speaker of The House Sex Perv Hastert who went to Prison? Or Republican Domestic Sex Perv Congressman Mark Folly who only had to resign as punishment for sending sexually explicit emails to teenage boys? Or the Republican Senator (for 18 years!) Public Bathroom Sex Perv Larry Craig charged with disorderly conduct? Or convicted Democrat Sext Perv Anthony Weiner who sent dick pics to underage girls? 

     

    In other words, what’s your point?

    The point is none of the Republican sex pervs professed alliegence to the feminist movement , supported or hold fundraisers for the first major woman candidate for President, virtue signal their "Women's Cards" in said election, nor did any of them walk in the Women's March on Washington in a pink-pussy hat. In short, they may be pervy but they're not hypocrites!

    Lost in District Court but -

    In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court determined that the federal subsidies that help nearly 6.4 million people pay for their Obamacare health plans are legal under the Affordable Care Act.

    King v Burwell.pdf

    The future of the payments has been in doubt because of a lawsuit filed in 2014 by House Republicans, who said the Obama administration was paying the subsidies illegally. Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of the United States District Court in Washington agreed, finding that Congress had never appropriated money for the cost-sharing subsidies. (Source: The New York Times) (See also House v. Price).

    I have some unhappy news for you. The political chief of Germany is now called "chancellor" not "fuhrer". Merkel is not the furher of Germany. She is the chancellor. She had to negotiate.

    Translation...she has no principles or morals. One year all refugees are welcome and deserving of shelter and the next it's "you can drown in the Mediterranean for all I care."

    Really?  Tell that to my friend in Michigan who can't renew his health insurance policy due to this mess.

     

    You'll need to provide credible links for what you are saying.  In the mean time, here's mine:

    It's yet to be proven this "illegality" as stated by the White House.  It's far from being vetted properly.  Somewhat similar to the botched travel ban? LOL

     

    Such a loser.  Messing around with people's lives due to politics.  And his hate for Obama.  A truly sick man.

    Well your friend can blame "Chuck and Nancy" for not working with the President to rationalize and improve the Affordable Care Act.

     

    He can also blame Obama and the Democrat Party for ramming through, under the darkness of the night,  a healthcare overhall law without a single Republican vote (and hence no bipartisan support) that upended 1/4 of the American economy. If they had worked with the Republicans both parties would have a stake in the success of the ACA...as it is, there is none.

    The health care reform proposal from the GOP was massively unpopular with the American public. Of course, the Republicans legislators had the sense to delay by a bit the parts that would have hurt people.  Now Trump has foolishly put the damage up front.  I will take a page from you and do my mind-reading act: Trump is so enraged and out of control that he took this step out of spite and frustration. Remember, it's those rural white Trump voters who will disproportionately suffer for what Trump is doing here. It's one thing not to fulfill your promises. It's quite another to do big damage to the people who support you.

    Bye bye Obamacare! 

  6. Not only that, the mayors, and all the other elected officials and executive officers of these cities and counties are guilty of aiding and abetting human trafficking and child endangerment. It also likely they are abetting in the trafficking of minors for the purposes of corruption. The Department of Justice needs to bring criminal charges against all of them (which I hear is being studies by the Department).

    "All your other statistics are irrelevant". I guess that's because you say so since you have provided no reasoning to back it up. Once again, nowhere did Merkel say her open door policy was going to be permanent.  So what you're contending is a falsehood. And once again you must be doing your mindreading act since you posit that Merkel would be willing to accept an infinite number of refugees if there were an infinite number. In one respect you have given me my comeuppance:  I keep thinking you can't dig the hole you're in any deeper but you keep on proving me wrong.

    So what's the morality in accepting 1M refugees one year and 200k the next...aren't the 800k left out just as worthy as the prior 800k? Or maybe your new humanitarian hero, Merkel, is just a cynical politician after all. Another of your SJW bubbles just popped!

    Sure. Let's see how all the poor white people who voted for Trump take to a massive cut in their health care.  As some wise political observer noted, they took Trump seriously but not literally.  Big mistake.  Which they will rectify at the polls. Short of retracting his elimination of the subsidies, there's no way he can dodge that electoral bullet.

    Funny I recall hearing the same silly arguments before the election too...how did that turn out?

    This is pure BS politics.  It's got nothing to do with what's right and what's wrong.

     

    I think you'd be singing a different tune if you had health problems and were just now denied coverage.  Like is happening to millions of Americans.  Of all political persuasions.

    :bah:

    Nobody is being denied coverage...get your facts straight.

     

    As for the insurance subsidies Trump is doing away with, the courts have already Obama acted illegally when he provided them (no suprise there) so the President is just complying with a court decision. Isn't that what  president is supposed to do?

    First off, look up "innumeracy" as defined by John Paulos.

    Now let the carving up begin of your nonsensical statement about "who is the real humanitarian?"

    So lets say we have 2 very wealthy people. Let's call them respectively Mr. USA and Ms. Germany. Mr. USA is 4 times as wealthy as Ms. Germany.  Previously MS Germany was giving proportionately 40 times as much to charity as Mr. USA.  Now times have changed. Ms. Germany will only be proportionately giving 16 times as much to charity as Mr. USA. Therefore, according to your logic  Mr. USA is now more  of a humanitarian than Ms. Germany. Do I really have to explain why that is nonsense?

    As for Merkel promising to let in an infinite number of refugees. I didn't know that there was an infinite number of refugees or that she had made that promise. Do you understand what infinity means? I'll give you a clue: it doesn't mean a really big number. Merkel did have an open door policy during the height of the crisis but that has been done with for a while now. Did she ever say that it would be forever until the universe dies its heat death?

    And once again, let me quote your original statement:

    "Care to answer the question...so Merkel now has the same refugee policy as Donald Trump, i.e., REDUCE THEM?"

     

    Again, you too can't admit Merkel now supports Trump's refugee policy...I know it must be tough for you. Merkel had not limit on the number of refugees she was willing to accept (or an infinite number if there were an infinate number of them). She reduced it to 200k from unlimited (maybe that terminology is easier for you to understand) so a much mush larger drop in numbers than anything Trump has done. All your other statistics are irrelevant.

    Trump to end key ACA subsidies, likely threatening marketplaces

     

    President Trump is throwing a bomb into the insurance marketplaces created under the Affordable Care Act, choosing to end critical payments to health insurers that help millions of lower-income Americans afford coverage. The decision coincides with an executive order on Thursday to allow alternative health plans that skirt the law’s requirements.

    The White House confirmed late Thursday that it would halt federal payments for cost-sharing reductions, although a statement did not specify when

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/trump-to-sign-executive-order-to-gut-aca-insurance-rules-and-undermine-marketplaces/2017/10/11/40abf774-ae97-11e7-9e58-e6288544af98_story.html

    Wow! It seems like the rageaholic has just exploded. I bet the people of W. Virginia are really happy now that they voted for Trump. That goes for those in Kentucky and similar locations, too that are heavily dependent on these subsidies. It also seems likely that he's going to scrap Nafta. Which means farmers, who went heavily for Trump. will also be mightily pleased. This is analagous to a mass shooter who end up turning the gun on himself. It really looks like Trump, electorally speaking, is doomed.

    Such a great man...Congress wouldn't do its job so the President will do it himself.

    Sure, I'll answer the question. Trump wants to reduce US refugee intake to 45,000. Merkel wants to reduce Germany's to 200,000. Germany has about 1 quarter the population of the USA. So proportionately, this is like the USA accepting 800,000 immigrants.  Now, do you think 800,000 is the same as 45,000? 

    Maybe in your mind, math is a subject best left to "cosmopolitans"?

    I look forward to your reply.

    So Merkel's original policy was support for unlimited refugees...come one come all...Germany is a "Welcomen" society.  This "humanitarian" hero and new "leader" of the West has now slashed the numbers she's willing to accept to 200,000...so she's basically gone from infinity to 200k...which is an infinite reduction in refugee numbers. For the sake of argument, lets just say she has reduced the number of refugees she's willing for Germany to accept by 99%.

     

    President Trump, on the other hand, has reduced the number of refugees the U.S. will accept annually from about 80,000 to 45,000...about a 50% reduction. So who is the REAL humanitarian? 

     

    The more salient point, however, is that Chancelor Merkel has seen the wisdom in President Trump's position- that refugee flows from poor Third World countries to the West must be substantially reduced - and that Trump was right all along.

    Lovely word, greased ?

     

    58k American (white poor and black) greased

     

    250k South Vietnamese soldiers - greased

     

    1.1 million North Vietnamese soldiers - greased

     

    Over 2M Vietnamese civilians on both sides - greased

     

    So well done!!

     

    And for what???

     

    The Americans dropped more bombs on Laos during that period than the total dropped on Germany and Japan in WW2!

     

    And for what?

     

    Shall I go on?

    I never said any of these wars was worth anything...the comment was made the Americans can't fight wars anymore...I think those millions of dead would beg to differ.

    If Britain had intervened earlier they would have had no chance of changing anything, except probable  total defeat to the by then well organised forces of Germany. Wisely  they waited until others were on-board.

    Different with N Korea in many ways

    A person who makes that statement knows nothing about the history of WWII...not even worth replying to such an uninformed post.

    Donald Trump reaches deal with Democrats to avoid US government shutdown

    President Donald Trump, siding with Democrats over his fellow Republicans, reached  a deal with Democrats in Congress to pass an extension of the

    US debt limit until Dec. 15, potentially avoiding an unprecedented default on US government debt.

    After meeting with congressional leaders from both parties at the White House, Mr Trump said he also agreed on a funding bill until mid-December that would avert a government shutdown, and disaster aid for Hurricane Harvey victims.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/06/donald-trump-reaches-deal-democrats-avoid-us-government-shutdown/

     

    There was nothing at stake in that deal like DACA.
