Even after Obama's eight years of on-the-job-training, he proved over and over again to be woefully unfit to serve as president. Obama will leave office with a failed health care law, non-existent economic growth, $20 trillion in national debt, a Middle East in ruins, failed reset and red lines, and a laughable Iran deal. Obama divided the country with the apology tour, the rhetoric of disparagement "you didn't build that," he supports the anti-police group Black Lives Matter movement, and a will leave a series of anti-Constitutional executive orders. Trump is light years ahead of where Obama was when he took office. One observation I have made viewing many of the anti-Trump posts, is it appears some of you left-wing people appear to be suffering from the "Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder," (TARD). This disorder is a persistent unwillingness to accept that Donald Trump is going to "Make America Great Again." Some symptoms include telling others you are moving to Canada, fixated fantasies about the Electoral College, referring to Trump supporters as racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, and even bed wetting. The only known treatment is to be repeatedly exposed to reality, and to wear a "Make America Great Again" cap. Most patients with TARD are very resistant to treatment, and dangerous in large groups. If you have a friend or loved one suffering from TARD, please urge them to seek treatment. Obama took office with two unfinished wars, an economy in free-fall, and Bush's final budget leading to the country's first trillion dollar plus deficit. He leaves office with the country at peace, the economy the fastest growing in the developed world, and the deficit declining. Let's see if Trump can match that.

Actually, they have wrestled with it and won twice: first with some form of socialized medicine which gets at the problem by including the entire citizenry or compulsory insurance for the uninsured and otherwise uninsurable combined with subsidies otherwise knows as Heritage Care, I mean Romneycare, I mean Obamacare. There is a 3rd possibility: the state massively subsidizes the uninsurable. The problem with that is analagous to a similar subsidy for fire insurance. Why bother to buy it when you can wait until your house catches on fire before you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lannarebirth Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 6 hours ago, Andaman Al said: Skywalker, not being American I am unsure of procedure. Should the respective electoral colleges not identify such anomalies and initiate an investigation? Or is it just left to a lawyer to file a complaint (can that be done)? What a poll may or may not indicate is never the basis for investigation under the law. Just as politicians lie to voters, voters sometimes lie to pollsters. Those results could become the basis of an academic study which, if substantiated as fraudulent could be become the basis of a legal action which possibly could lead to an injunction, which.... I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rote raging against OB was of course the immediate give away. Oh, on a second glance I see it was brought up to date to mention the Trump election of November 8th. Doesn't improve it much though. Overall it's the standard Right Sector pulp fiction boilerplate. I can look forward to the movie in this particular instance though cause it's sure to be much better, as will be the year 2017 when the flick comes out. Can't decide just yet however on the title of the movie. Am betwixt and between 2016: The Election of the Angry Winners or How To Win And Still Be A Sorehead. I'd rather to hear the inside scoop on what the wildman Trump's gonna do, not to hear for the thousandth time the rants of the radical right in their fierce compulsions against Potus Barack Obama. Or against Hillary Clinton (how'd you miss doing that?). So any recovering obsessive over there who might have any advice or suggestions for those over there who continue to rage on would be welcome to come forward. Apparently now would be none too soon thx. Edited November 16, 2016 by Publicus Text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
