Teddy Roosevelt was a well known catch wrestler and early adopter of Judo in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was a bad as fuck wrestler. We need more badass presidents. Also, Putin's Judo and Sambo ain't a joke. He'd ippon any other world leader, easily. | ||

Considered it a smashing success because 5k less than last year mostly because of buying a house and exempting healthcare penalty since cheapest available insurance ~340$ a month. It's not that the demographics of this thread just live in a different world than many Americans, they refuse to admit it exists. There is a reason the average trump supporters response to this type is a simple "fuck you". (It's just not that interesting or informative, but it's deserved) P.S. If it wasn't patently obvious why Kwark loves the term "moocher" so much it should be even more so now. | ||

Glad this thread has managed to show you there is a better way then paying the healthcare penalty while still being uninsured. | ||

That you don't appreciate the joke matters little to me. Furthermore, Clinton isn't pointing upwards like Trump is and her photo is therefore not as good because having a photo of Trump that points to "US Politics Mega Thread" while mouthing "fuck" is both conceptually appropriate and hilarious. Also, the notion that a photo of the Ferguson riots was or is a "left-aligned BLM picture" is utter nonsense. | ||

The attitude of millennials towards socialism and other aspects of Bernie's platform is very different from previous generations of Democratic voters. And with the impeding destruction of the republican party we could therefore see a socialist one party state. Heck, it worked for the USSR right? | ||

Listening to Hillary's team and seeing this commercial confirms to me Hillary would lose because she would continue to make the same mistakes Republicans did. Now Trump is going to say something like "Hillary's a typical politician using a superPAC hitman to try to besmirch me, blah blah blah". Then Hillary will hit Trump back on his superPAC... Bizarrely Hillarys cackle at the end comes from her Benghazi hearings.You'd think the PAC/donors who put this together would try and avoid negative links like that. | ||

it stands for "u should surrender reason" when analyzing the connotative value of words over time. That way, one can make clumsy, broad points about socialism using both Nazis and Stalin. | ||

If you mean that the ACA has broken the system so much that even it admits I can't afford insurance so I guess I don't have to pay penalty. I'm still uninsured and get no benefits from it at all. I think that there is literally not one single person in this thread who buys their own insurance. Lol. Everyone is so clueless. Pre ACA I could choose from a host of providers and get good insurance for ~118$ a month. Now there is literally one provider period who will sell insurance to anyone from my entire state and it is over 3x as expensive. I know MANY people who bought their own insurance pre ACA who are now in religious medi-share programs because they can't afford insurance. Great stuff. Btw I'm pretty far right on a lot of issues obviously but this healthcare shit is ridiculous. Just go to a single payer "socialist" equal for all with reasonably high deductible. At least then the people funding the whole system actually get insured by it. | ||
