This post is a joke, correct? Jerome Adams was fired by President Biden. This guy is a loser. The United States has some of the best healthcare in the world. He can certainly afford the best healthcare.

 

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/08/politics/jerome-adams-hawaii-citation-trnd/index.html

He wasn't fired. Along with a lot of other officials from the Trump administration, Biden asked him to step down. This is not unusual when a new administration takes office.

And what does it matter if he is rich or not. It the implications for public policy. What kind of medical system is it where treatment for dehydration can cost $5000?

And the US has a terrible healthcare performance compared to other advanced economies. It costs more and the results are mostly worse. Except if you're wealthy. If money is no object, then it's great.

Bill Maher scolded an MSNBC host who called Trump supporters at odds with "reality," retorting, "There's a lot of crazy on the left," too.

But there's a lot lot less of it among where it counts: actual elected officials. Keep in mind that almost 3/4 of Republican House members voted not to approve of the 2020 election results. 

'Former US Surgeon General Jerome Adams said he got a $5,000 bill for a recent ER visit.

He said he was fighting the bill, which had been "mentally taxing."

His experience highlights big problems with US healthcare, including high costs and no transparency.

This is only illegal alien crime.  

There is more with US citizens too with the rapid deterioration of major Democratic run American cities after years of failed liberal policies.

 

Whoopy and Joyce won’t dare talk about it either.

Nothing you've cited has any bearing on whether undocumented aliens commit proportionately more crimes of violence than do authorized immigrants or native-born Americans.

As for crime in red sections of the USA

In Rural America, Violent Crime Reaches Highest Level in a Decade

The loss of jobs and the opioid epidemic are two of the biggest reasons.

Without that guarantee, he said, “the presidency as we know it will cease to exist.”  I tend to agree.  There are checks and balances built within the Constitution that limit what a president can and cannot do... use those.

So how would those checks and balances work, say, if the President had Senators who opposed him murdered?

Why on earth would you attempt to direct readers on this thread to something emanating from the narcissistic mouth of Sandy Cortez?  Or to the disinformation channel for that matter?

The narcisstic mouth pointed out that the "evidence" offered or claimed to exist by the Republicans has repeatedly been discredited or has evaporated.

If CNN is a disinformation channel, then you should definitely report that to the mods.

You asked how I judged your political stance. I cited this post of yours as as further evidence. Nowhere did I liken you to Joe Biden. That was your own weird take on my post.

Of course illegal aliens are for Biden.

 

In exchange for the freebies, the Democrats increase their voter base and representation in congress.

 

But with the increased crime by many illegal aliens, something tells me they’re not all here to pick lettuce in the San Joaquin Valley.

New Research on Illegal Immigration and Crime

Like our other research on illegal immigration and crime in Texas, this working paper uses data collected by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) that records and keeps the immigration statuses of those arrested and convicted of crimes in Texas. As far as we’ve been able to tell, and we’ve filed more than 50 state FOIA requests to confirm, Texas is the only state that records and keeps the immigration statuses of those entering the criminal justice system...

In 2018, the illegal immigrant criminal conviction rate was 782 per 100,000 illegal immigrants, 535 per 100,000 legal immigrants, and 1,422 per 100,000 native‐born Americans.

Got Latinos and under 35yos plus Christians. Doing well. 

 

They will whinge daily for 4 years.

The problem with the polls showing the under 35 support for Trump is that they were based on the number of voters in the crosstabs of the polls. So a poll that may have started out with 1000 people ended up withn 238 voters under the age of 35. That's a noisy poll. 

Also, it's still a long way out and people only start focusing on the elections after the conventions. I wonder what conclusions those younger voters will draw when when see videos of Trump repeatedly claiming credit for overthrowing Roe v. Wade.

As for whinging daily for 4 years...if they do, they will only be following the example of Trump supporters who have been whimpering about the 2020 election for over three years already.

Do you think California's farmers share your anti-immigrant attitude?

 

"Agriculture is a significant sector in California's economy, producing nearly US$50 billion in revenue in 2018. There are more than 400 commodity crops grown across California, including a significant portion of all fruits, vegetables, and nuts in the United States.^[1] In 2017, there were 77,100 unique farms and ranches in the state, operating across 25.3 million acres (10,200,000 hectares) of land. The average farm size was 328 acres (133 ha), significantly less than the average farm size in the U.S. of 444 acres (180 ha).^{[1]"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_California}

look at it this way. if trump does get elected a lot of posters here are going to disappear right ? that is what dictators do they disappear dissidents. 

 

in a few years we will still have many of the same posters on here banging on about trump this or trump that without addressing the many times they blabbed on about him being a dictator. 

 

spring 2025 is going to be a hoot. i expect a plethora of russia garbage and all kinds of other plays to save face.

 

the dems are a dead party walking. only obama can save them now. 

I suspect that most of the people posting here are expats.

Intelligent responses as usual…not!

Have I maligned you? If you don't believe that Trump was robbed of his legitimate victory in the 2020 election, then you have my sincere apology. Of course, that doesn't have any relevance to the multitude of the deluded who still cling to that belief.

Just now, G_Money said:

Was he one during his last term?  
 

If so, how did his dictatorship affect your life?  Obviously you’re still alive, not a political prisoner and most importantly not brought up on fictitious charges.

Last time Trump didn't start with many extreme right wingers including Christian Nationalists.
