  1. He already does play golf all day.....oh I see....anonymously.
  2. The problem with Trump is that he knows that he has a number of fans who will swallow bleach, swallow UV torches and eat horse worming tablets if he says they should, so he is using his fans to accomplish HIS political goals. How is this not reprehensible in the extreme?
  3. Of course spending however many years telling people...."You're Fired" is streets ahead when comes to understanding politics.
  4. ...thought you might have added....unless it is on her back in bed.
  5. ....or drink bleach to kill covid or swallow a UV lamp or take horse worming tablets......yes....I can see where you're coming from now.
  6. Why do you imagine tremendously successful pop stars have little or no insight into politics and even if the do they should be denigrated for voicing their support for a candidate?
  7. Very typical of lowly educated right wing fanatics (Trump: I love the uneducated....of course he does they believe every word he utters).
  8. That's part one....part two is tricky bit where you open your mind, read and try to move away from blindly accepting Trump's lies.
  9. Always amazes me that people are capable of assigning a value to their emotional distress.......I don't doubt it must be distressing......but to then sit down and think...yep that is 200,000B of distress?????
  10. The Obama administration, which spanned from 2009 to 2017, was marked by several significant achievements across various policy areas. Here are the top 10 notable achievements: ### 1. **Affordable Care Act (ACA) - "Obamacare"** - The ACA, signed into law in 2010, aimed to reduce the number of uninsured Americans and lower healthcare costs. It expanded Medicaid, established health insurance marketplaces, and prohibited insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions. Millions of Americans gained access to health insurance as a result. ### 2. **Economic Recovery Post-2008 Financial Crisis** - When Obama took office, the U.S. was facing the Great Recession. His administration implemented the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, an $800 billion stimulus package designed to spur economic growth, save jobs, and support infrastructure projects. This helped to stabilize the economy and reduce unemployment from a peak of 10% in 2009 to below 5% by the end of his second term. ### 3. **Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act** - Passed in 2010, this law aimed to prevent the recurrence of the financial crisis by increasing oversight and regulation of the financial industry. It established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to protect consumers from predatory lending and other financial abuses. ### 4. **Operation Neptune Spear and the Death of Osama bin Laden** - In 2011, Obama authorized a covert operation by Navy SEALs that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. This was a significant milestone in the global fight against terrorism. ### 5. **Paris Climate Agreement** - In 2015, the Obama administration played a key role in securing the Paris Climate Agreement, a global accord aimed at mitigating climate change by reducing carbon emissions. The agreement represented a significant international effort to address global warming. ### 6. **LGBTQ Rights and Marriage Equality** - Obama's tenure saw significant advances in LGBTQ rights, including the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in 2010, allowing gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals to serve openly in the military. Additionally, the administration supported the Supreme Court's 2015 decision in *Obergefell v. Hodges*, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. ### 7. **Iran Nuclear Deal (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action)** - In 2015, the Obama administration reached an agreement with Iran, along with other major world powers, to limit Iran's nuclear capabilities in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions. The deal aimed to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and was seen as a diplomatic approach to a longstanding security concern. ### 8. **Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)** - Established in 2012, DACA provided temporary protection from deportation and work authorization for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, known as "Dreamers." The program aimed to provide relief to individuals who had grown up in the U.S. and contributed to society but lacked legal status. ### 9. **Cuba Policy and Diplomatic Normalization** - In 2014, Obama announced the normalization of diplomatic relations with Cuba, ending more than five decades of isolation. The administration eased travel restrictions, reopened embassies, and aimed to engage Cuba through diplomacy rather than confrontation. ### 10. **Auto Industry Bailout and Restructuring** - The Obama administration continued and expanded the auto industry bailout initiated by the previous administration, providing loans to General Motors and Chrysler. This intervention helped prevent the collapse of the American auto industry, saving millions of jobs and stabilizing key manufacturing sectors. These achievements reflect a range of policy areas, including healthcare, the economy, foreign policy, civil rights, and environmental protection. While each of these initiatives had its supporters and critics, they collectively shaped the trajectory of the United States during and after Obama's presidency.
  11. Like CCTV.......the most heinous crimes and yet the grainiest, most blurred pictures of the perpetrators.....not a snowball's chance of identifying them...????
  12. Didn't hear or watch that bit....Being lazy.......what did he guess and how did he judge its speed?
  13. That was my choice......just trying wean myself back off it before diabetes kicks in.
  14. B****r. Oh wait.....I can claim 180 then.....?
  15. The gift that keeps giving......'free' speech. I used to set up rules with the kids I taught and they were very good at two things...... What were their rights? What were the responsibilities that go with each right. Trump and his ilk are mustard keen on their rights......but couldn't care less about responsibilities.
  16. Oh Wow....so you did your wife a favour marrying her. If my body count is 60......can I now claim 180?
  17. Come on....everyone know he paid her 180k not to sleep with her....555
