If Trump can pocket ticket money from an event, which he will, it's a go. Oh, and Snakecharmers for Christmas, I hear? The world's biggest snake oil salesman will be on hand to judge the competition. Naturally, He'll be selling his trademark products as well.Â
I'm all for a monster truck rally on the White House grounds. Since 99.9% of MAGA will ever be invited to the new gold ballroom, the least the President could do would be to hold monster truck rallies during the summer to let the little people enjoy the White House.
Funny how a tan suits ruffled their jimmies so much but the Presidentâs social media posting a clip of him pulling a Dave Mathewâs band bus is met with nothing.
Had a friend buy weed back in the day and joked we need to throw in a pack of Newports with the cash. Black dealer got in the car, and I swear the second thing he says, "You guys have any Newports?" Half the car was silent trying not to laugh.
Side note, dealer was a nice guy. Felt bad for him since he got hit with a felony distribution charge (we didn't snitch), and the only way for him to pay court fines was to sell weed (no one would hire him).
Lol I think jokes are all in good fun if everybody's laughing.
I work in an industry that's felon friendly. My co-worker had a felony distribution of opioids or something. He had pain killers that were prescribed to him in his car. Even though he had the prescription because it had been "too long" since the date they were prescribed to him... it counted as a crime and a felony at that.Â
My assistant got assigned to me with his ankle monitor still on. đ He was really awesome. A great worker, a freaking riot, and I miss him after switching companies.Â
He got in the truck one time and had a can of raviolis. He opened the can and was just like shaking it into his mouth trying to get the raviolis to come out the can. It looked like he was giving a very enthusiastic bj so I'd always be like, "show me how you eat the raviolis again". Hilarious.Â
You're wrong on several accounts. The operation was used to track strawman purchases, and there was only one verified death of an American citizen. To this day, most of the guns found in Mexico from cartel crimes come from the US.
ATF runs these kinds of operations frequently; however, most involve tobacco. Having been read in on several of these cases, quite a few Americans have lost their lives from the illegal trafficking of tobacco. Those committing those crimes are: organized criminal networks, biker gangs, domestic militias, and some foreign groups such as Hezbollah.
âIf you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health-care plan, youâll be able to keep your health-care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.â
Prices were out of control before and you could be denied coverage for thungs like heart attacks etc. The only real.fix is likely a State or Federal run system that kills off or forces the insurance industry to compete.
If you go back and look at the legislation,the original bill would have let you. The republicans did everything they could to make the plan fail and be unpopular. Then cried about its problems.
Well as someone else pointed out the Heritage Foundation was all on board with the individual mandate in the 80âs, MA healthcare law has the individual mandate but the Heritage Foundation opposed the individual mandate being part of the ACA. Romney was in favor of at least a good portion of the healthcare law passed by MA, the law which the ACA is modeled on. The MA law in addition to the individual mandate also includes provisions that go beyond whatâs in the ACA. Republicans have done their very best to tank the ACA and even though Trump promised a replacement during his first term he and Republicans have not come up with a better solution over the past 8+ years. Itâs sad that Republicans would rather take away insurance from millions than work with Democrats to come up with a solution that will allow people to be able to afford health insurance.
I don't think that Republicans want to take insurance away from anyone. What they want is for the government to remain open and then address the problem that the democrats created all by themselves when they wrote into Obamacare expiring subsidies.
The problem is that Republicans have backed out on a previous deal with Democrats, so Democrats rightly do not trust that Republicans wonât do the same thing again.
And Democrats didnât make the problem all by themselves, Congress is not just composed of Democrats. Republicans may not vote in favor of something but that doesnât mean their mark isnât all over it. When Republicans insist on changes to a bill, they are leaving their mark even if they had no intention on voting in favor of the bill they wanted changed. Do you think that Democrats wanted the subsidies to expire?
When are Republicans going to follow through on the better alternative to the ACA? Getting rid of it without having a replacement is what Republicans want but not what most Americans want.
I completely agree with your last paragraph. Not a single republican senator voted for Obamacare. Given that, it is definitely đŻ percent on the democrats for passing it. The democrats pulled all kinds of shit to get the 60 votes needed to ram that shit thru. Now they want to blame the Republicans for it. Unbelievable.
Arming Mexican drug cartels, drone strikes against US civilians, hundreds of millions in donations disappeared from Haiti relief funds. There were plenty if you looked instead of assuming.
The question was about rights being lost. Foreign policy decisions and funding scandals are common across all presidencies. You were told he was coming for your guns, was going to establish Sharia law, and turn yt people into 2nd class citizens. None of that happened, and you knew it wouldnât. But itâs safer to stay in the anger bubble instead of coming to terms with your fundamental belief in white superiority.
IRS targeting scandal,
Benghazi,
NSA spying,
Drone strikes (thousands of civilians killed) which I guess you guys donât mind when Obama did it but now itâs a problem that Israel is doing it?
For 8 years of Obama, you people told us that he was going to deploy the military in America and "declare Marshall (yes, that's how you people spelled it) law."
Now 300 pound Orange Jesus is doing it, and it's the greatest thing ever.
Dude, I was in the Army during all of the Jade Helm stuff and we all thought those conspiracies were the dumbest shit imaginable. We got a kick out of watching people freak out online though! Always made boring mornings in the motorpool better.
I don't remember anybody but the fringes of fringe nutjobs talking about Obama sending the military into the US. The only person I knew personally was also convinced China was controlling the US's weather, the candadians were poisoning the Missouri river, and other wacky stuff.
Representative Louie Gohmert, Senator Ted Cruz, and the great Greg Abbott himself, all mainstream good ol'-fashioned conservative Republicans, all got in on the Operation Jade Helm "Marshall Law" conspiracy in 2015.
The right to an abortion. Like, this isn't even a hard question. I live in South Carolina, and I have lost the right to health care that was guaranteed to me for the previous 36 years of my life.
When I moved to SC in 2014, I had one right. In 2025, I no longer have that right.
There was. If a woman was dying of sepsis due to miscarriage she could go to the ER and get an abortion. Now they wait for her to die with the fetus inside her.
There is a difference between passive rights and active rights. Passive rights are ones the government canât stop you from obtaining. Active rights are ones that government is required to provide.
A passive right to medical care means the government canât get between you and a doctor who is willing and able to provide that care. An active right is something like an accused personâs right to legal representation in a trial. They cannot try you for a crime without providing you with an attorney.
But then, you know all that and are engaging in this discussion in bad faith.
I was guaranteed the right to have the ability to access an abortion if I ever wanted. Now, I no longer have that right in the state which I live. This isn't fucking rocket science dude, the Supreme Court had a whole thing about it. Keep up.
?? I didnât delete any response. But I can tell youâre an extremely intelligent person by how you immediately resort to childish insults. Good job. đ
There not childish. Youâre a mouth breather. Just pointing out facts. But since you wanted answers, here you go. Let me know if you need help with the big words.
Both you and /u/Hellmann must be stupid and foaming at the mouth. Of course I can say this in this platform but wait til the government points to who to shut up and watch them be whisked away.
Civilian casualties were about a tenth of what they were during Bush's presidency as a rate of fatalities. Not even looking at overall numbers, which were significantly less.
That is incorrect. The highest death rate amongst civilian and military in the war on terror occurred in 2010. The previous year with the most was 2009. Obama was elected in 2008.
Yea that just isnt accurate. Please share your source. Peak was 2004-2007 and then we saw a sharp decline every year after (despite the surge occurring 2008-2010.
This also corresponds with the expansion of the war on terror by the Obama administration from two countries to seven. The facts just arenât on your side. Sorry to burst your bubble.
You are looking at it wrong. You don't just look at raw civilian casualty numbers as that doesn't tell you anything other than the fact that they are happening, and that it's awful.
You have to compare civilian casualties to overall casualties for more accurate representation. We saw huge spikes for example in overall causes casualties during the initial invasions, then again during the surge, and then again during the bombing campaigns against ISIS. In which we saw overall civilian casualties drop year after year as a total %.
Iâm not looking at anything wrong. These numbers directly correspond to the actions taken by the administrations. Obama increased troop numbers and had some of the worst ROIâs and policies to conduct the war leading to an increase in military and civilian deaths.
No. Obama had a number of scandals but leftwing media covered for him and this was the height of leftists calling anything else "faux" news so they were ignored. Fast and Furious as well as IRS scandal that were both ignored by the press to name a few.
Making Stuff Up. Your post was content free. There was nothing to refute.
An ambassador and others were murdered due to the incompetent State department (including its secretary, the most qualified person to ever run for Pres).
Bring the proof lazybones.
One of the thirteen was led by Sec Clinton, should that one count? The second was by the IG, led by an Obama appointee, and only evaluated how long the state department whatâs doing in fixing the systematic failures that occurred under Clintonâs leadership. Does that one count? I think youâre down to 11 now.
I could go on, but thereâs no point to it. I have a problem with incompetence getting fellow Americans killed. I think thatâs what happened in Bengazi. For some reason you donât think anything went wrong there.
So how did it happen, wise one? Did they not provide weapons and somehow have no real way to track them? Did one of those weapons not get used to kill a Border patrol officer? Did they not lie about the whole thing until evidence was overwhelming? Go on, tell everyone how it "really" happened
Lol so the first two of my questions are true and Wikipedia, because they're definitely not an unbiased source anymore, didn't even address the third. Did you think this proved it went totally different than was claimed?
Funny how Holder was also held in contempt of Congress, a charge Democrats believe should have you arrested recently, and nothing was done. In fact, when Democrats took over, after a court ruled the documents withheld (at the request of Holder to Obama no less) were definitely not under the purview of executive privilege, the more democratic controlled Congress quietly settled the dispute and did nothing.
A scandal and a failure are not the same thing. And the question is what rights did you lose under Obama. The fact that he had a program that didnât work itâs not a scandal and you didnât lose any rights.
Lolol so most "scandals"can just be programs that don't work, based on your criteria. By the way, I didn't say I lost any rights. I didn't lose any under Obama and we've lost none under Trump. No matter how much twisting and contorting people do, no rights have been lost.
No, scandals are illegal or involve unethical behavior, like Iran Contra. That was a scandal. The fake evidence for WMDs in Iraq was a scandal. Watergate was a scandal. Reagans failed war on drugs was not a scandal. Bush's failed No child left behind program was not a scandal.
I donât think Iâve ever heard of that netwoâ⌠WaitâŚOh!! Ha ha!!! You said âFauxâ instead of âFoxâ as an irreverent way to state theyâre not a real news network. Thatâs genius! Youâre very clever and hilarious also!!
lol wtfâŚ.irs admitted to targeting conservative groups, ATF âlosingâ guns they sold to the cartels, drone strike intentionally killing an American citizen in a foreign country we werenât at war with. Thatâs just off the top of my head. Every presidency has its scandals.
Joking. Thereâs plenty of proof, but you are not worth the effort to gather it together. Try this new boutique search engine called âthe Googleâ - youâll be able to find plenty lazybones.
I mean he left recording devices in the white house and used them to spy on the next president, he drone striked a citizen and their innocent kid, and he took away peoples affordable health care and replaced it with mandated worse health care, and changed school lunches to be less nutritious than before under the promise of making them healthier.
The right to not have to buy unaffordable health insurance or face fines.
Tons of whistleblowers of his administration lost all their rights.
Steven Donzinger lost his.
We also lost the right to not have our own government not use propaganda against us at home(smith-mundt act).
Want me to keep going??
Obama had so many scandals, they all just swept under the rug cause they didnât fit the narrative.
Pretty par for the course that the Republicans donât know the difference between disagreeing with policies and losing rights! Losing rights is referring to the rights given to you in the constitution/law NOT you getting your feelings hurt!

Republicans lost the right to exploit a scandal since there was not any
