Trump's AMERICA : 2018 (& world reaction )

[Bar Sinister]

Modern medicine plays very little role in life expectancy.

It seems unlikely.

The decline in communicable diseases in the last two centuries would seem to contradict your position.

 

[DaSleeper]

Reading comprehension is not your forte...


What does seems unlikely mean in reference to his first line?
No contradiction in his position...

 

[DaSleeper]

And I don't disagree with that slight shift in his position...

Yet it still has the strongest currency in the world and growing while the Euro is dropping. Funny how that works .

 

[Curious Cdn]

But you posted the US life expectancy was akin to sub-Saharan Africa. You sound like Analfloss pulling "fact" out of yer ass.

I said that the poor that have no coverage have the life expectancy of a Sub-Saharan African.

I see that you are both literate and a not a critical thinker.

Poignant and sad words from Charles Pierce in Esquire:
.
"In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and say, "And we shall overcome."
.
I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over. I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City.
.
I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing "Amazing Grace" in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
.
These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, God knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job.
.
They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless.
.
And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators.
.
Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.
.
He is the scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend, a vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition and a cheap, soulless bully besides.
.
Watch him make fun of the woman again. Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut the %$^& up even when it is in his best interest to do so.
.
Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents. They just have to realize that their humanity is our common humanity, and that their political commonwealth is our political commonwealth, too.

More than WHAT you say, I do have admiration for your writing skills and grasp of recent U.S. history.

Spot on.

That's why Americans will never have universal health care coverage, as well.

If people worried as much about their health as they do about health care coverage, they would need very little coverage.

You got that right pgs! He's certainly not doing himself and favours on this forum, just widespread derision!

"Widepread" being yourself, DaSleeper, Pigs, Eagle Snack and Bondo?

The pro-Trump lower grade?

It's a DELUGE!!

 

[DaSleeper]

Because I like to laugh at everyone's Trump obsession doesn't mean I'm pro trump, I'm just not anti American like you have been from the start in this forum...

 

[Cliffy]

Between 1950 and 2000, the U.S. overthrew 60 democratically elected governments around the world. Iran is in the works now, again.

Yep, there's a big difference between recognizing and acknowledging Trump's weaknesses and denigrating the man 24/365.

 

[Hoid]

Is it even possible to criticize Trump unfairly?

I don't think that's even a thing.
