McCain defending Obama 2008
I appreciate your response to my question earlier, @bobknight33.
I don't mean to try to drag you back into the thread here if you're trying to disengage -- I dunno what you mean by #walkaway. Anyway, this doesn't require a response.
I largely agree with you on the specific subtopic of both parties being pretty dirty and frequently engaging in "government theater" just to draw attention to trivialities while promoting their own self interests. I also largely agree with Trump being a "true outsider" in the sense that he holds no particular allegiance to party machinations, etc.
However, even though I was willing to give him a chance after the election, at this point I have zero trust in Trump's intentions. Trumps friends -- the "best people" -- have this interesting trend of becoming his detractors and enemies. Trump wants us to accept the word of people that vouch for him, but days, weeks, or months later they fall out of favor and suddenly he says that they are scum and we shouldn't listen to a word they say.
That's a "cry wolf" or "fool me once" sort of problem. Sessions, the guy you mentioned as protecting Trump from the "witch hunt", has been pretty relentlessly bashed by Trump for the weighty offense of allowing investigators to investigate. Giuliani spouts nonsense, doublespeak and contradictions. Huckabee-Sanders refuses to answer very basic questions from the press (which is her job) not because they misquote her or take things out of context (which would be legitimate gripes) but because she's been bitten in the ass a few too many times by people pointing out blatant contradictions in Trump's statements. And that's just the current people.
There's a large list of short-term Trump appointments that end up out of favor.
What all that stuff says to me is ... "something is rotten in the state of Denmark". Is it possible that there's a vast conspiracy against him in the media, justice department, etc.? Um, well, maybe -- but Occam's Razor tells me that other possibilities are rather more likely. Like, for example, that Trump being a "true outsider" doesn't preclude him from holding the same self-serving motivations that are unfortunately common in slimy career politicians. That he acts shady and dirty because he is shady and dirty.
I dunno. It just seems like it takes a lot of work to keep up with Trump's revolving door of steadfast allies that become traitorous enemies.

Denmark Responds To Fox News Fantasy With Facts
I've actually been looking, seriously, for work in Paris. There's a shit-ton of hoops to jump through beyond getting a sponsor. I really wish I had a Master's degree, because France has a special visa for people with high-demand skills who have a Master's or above.
I'm not sure what getting into Denmark would be like.
Trumpism devolving into a drunken rant. Can't even quote Shakespeare correctly.
The sad thing is you CAN compare Denmark to the US of A, and Denmark is winning right now. As a place I would gladly to move to.

Well Hihi again, VS (Sift Talk Post)
Thanks gwiz Hope you and Lann are doing well and are enjoying the falltime - My favorite time of the year, though the air here does not smell as good as it did in Finland (and I imagine in Denmark too!)

Trump's Been President for Six Months Now MAGA
Did he offer to bring God to central Europe? Because we've had that for nearly 1200 years and its OK but has nothing to do with Trump.
Even a supercut of his successfully read speech parts doesn't quite make sense. In the parts where he promises to fight together it is never quite certain for what or against what.
Drive them out! Anyone in the middle east can drive anyone else out as long as they are friends with Trump? Is that the policy?
I think Denmark should now be leaders of the free world - they seem to be doing a good job on the democracy and personal freedoms front and don't keep looking for new ways to take advantage of everyone else.
Denmark has a lesson for us all

Obamacare in Trump Country
@worm
you do realize that you literally just made @Januari 's point...right?
and i get it...government spending BAD.
government can't do anything blah blah blah...gotcha.
but instead of using the VA as an example of government malfeasance and incompetence,why not use medicare/medicaid?
the VA is run by the DoD and considering that during rumsfelds tenure they lost over a trillion american dollars..POOF..where is that money? nope..can't find it.the pentagon is a mess.
medicare/medicaid is run by the dept of health,which runs on a 3% overhead,has the ability to negotiate with pharmacuticals,and is a system that is already in place AND we all already pay in to.
see,
i am not a fan of obamacare.
i think single payer is the way to go,and the only way to go.
people like to make the comparison of obamacare insurance with car insurance.
forgetting that driving is a privilege...
breathing is not.
so if we take the "profit motive" out of health care.then the majority of people NOT covered would not wait until something dire or life threatening was going down with them to head to the doctor.preventive care has been shown to reduce medical costs dramatically.
see:norway
see:denmark
see:france
see:britain
while i understand many liberals defense of obamacare,i see it only a half measure that can easily be remanded and/or gotten rid of all together.however unlikely that may be.the threat will be enough.
people forget that obamacare was basically written by the heritage foundation in 1992.a right wing think tank and not much was changed (though the pre-existing clause was a positive).
they forget that then Governor mitt romney implemented a similar health care system in massechusetts.which saw steady increases in premiums yearly.
and here is the thing that really eats at me.
it is mandatory.
so here is my prediction:
obamacare is not going anywhere.
while it may be used as apolitical football and health insurance companies will use (and already HAVE used) the threat of leaving due to little or no money (this is a lie) in order to force the government to raise their subsidies.
this is corporate welfare on a scale that over-shadows the bank bailouts of 2007.which at final tally was over 17 trillion.
so obamacare is going nowhere because it is the goose that lays the golden egg,and the gift that keeps on giving.
oh there will threats,and over-politicizing,and wringing of hands,and committee meetings.
but that will be just for show.
we put the fox in charge of the henhouse,and the fox is gonna make damn sure it is going nowhere.
