My brother in law loves the VA, my Uncle hate them with a passion.
One is in a wheel chair (non military accident) and the other’s fingers and toes are rotting off his hands and feet…
Guess which political side of the fence each sits

I think, despite all the hoopla surrounding the election the results would have been the same, even with out thumbs on scales or fake ads. It’s questionable at if such movements tipped the scale at all. Bernie had an enthusiastic base, but a small one. Too extreme for most Americans.
Take away the distractions about the HRC camp, she had every advantage in the world. Two presidents, the MSM, a legion of congressmen and women, every celebrity endorsement you could possibly want and even some republicans pulling for her and she couldn’t win.
Anybody who says they figured out what happened election night is full of shit, especially hillary. She has to be the most grating woman on Earth to lose an election she should have just rode in on a fluffy couch in a sweep. There was not a single poll showing a trump victory, even giving him every possible reasonable doubt, he still loses even if he had the best night ever, exceeding expectations, he should have lost.
I am getting a bit weary wondering what happened in 2016. Nobody really knows. The variations on why people voted the way they did is individual as the vote itself.
I voted to keep HRC from ever holding office. I didn’t vote for trump, I voted against hillary and voting 3rd party was not going to get it done. So I went with the hottest hand I had, guy who had no shot…
I didn’t even start watching anything election night until about 1AM, I was about to go to bed and figured I’d see how bad the slaughter was, I just didn’t want to watch the media gloat, by replaying cringe-worthy trump moments over and over… When I saw trump was winning I thought I was just drunk. Then I switched channels and he was still winning. My jaw was on the floor. Then I started laughing, I couldn’t help it. The reactions of the media were raw that night and they were acting like someone just shot their dog and it cracked me up.
Trumps a nut. We all know that. But let’s move on folks, I don’t want trump to fail I didn’t want obama to fail because if they do we all suffer.
Let’s just say hillary and trump both ran a dirty, crooked campaign and carry on. It’s not the first nasty election and it won’t be the last.
All I want is for trump to stop tweeting and talk like a person with some education.
So far, I am mostly, with him policy wise, that’s actually the important part.
Bill Maher, who is not a Trump fan, kept saying that Trump could win. He was one of the few on the left who was not dismissive of Trump.
I had a feeling Hillary was in trouble when she made the deplorables comment and when every campaign ad I saw was all about how Trump is a misogynist. It seemed like she wanted to give reasons to not elect Trump but forgot to give reasons why she should have been elected.

Bull Maher gets much credit for that one from me actually. I agree with the rest of your post as well…but I still didn’t think she would actually lose

He’s too left leaning for my taste but I give him a lot of credit for not toeing the liberal line when he disagrees. He calls it like he sees it no matter if his fellow partisans disagree and that makes me respect him a lot more than many others.

Yeah, I know he did question it. But he still couldn’t imagine it.
I do wish Rubio won…
I consider myself indy maybe a centrist and I like his show. Hes not a snowflake like MSNBC he offends everyone equally I think… On Muslims I think hes tougher than allot of rebs but than again hes anti all religion

Actually, I don’t necessarily agree with his stance on Islam in that I am not against it on its face. However, it’s valid to question why, where Islam is prevalent the immiseration of the people and the freedoms we take for granted are not recognized in those places? Is it a legalization of bad ideas in context with their history the problem? Or does it actually stem from the religion itself.
On the safe side I would say its somewhere in the middle, perhaps legalization by means of Koran for the retention and gaining of power over the sweaty uneducated masses.
It’s a lie to say there is no tie between Islam and violence against women and “others”. But is it an excuse or a proclamation? I have been wrestling this notion for a while. Terrorist attack after terrorist attack make it difficult for me to give them the benefit of the doubt. But then what’s happening in Myanmar, with the genocide and nation wide expulsion of Rohingya Muslims begs another question. The answer of which, two wrongs don’t make a ‘right’.
In the case of Myanmar, I can say the people were warned. Any terrorist act against them would be met with this kind of response. There was a terror attack and Myanmar is doing what they said they would do. Still isn’t right, but the expulsion ideology isn’t far from the emotions of people in the west. What’s going for Myanmar is they don’t give a shit what anybody else thinks about them. But running people out of their homes, random killings all with the government’s blessing is also repulsive.
In any event, it’s a real world case we can look at and judge from a distance. Is Myanmar’s peace at any cost, really the right thing? Is it not the right thing, but maybe they have a point? Is there a better way to ensure you will not suffer from islamic terrorist violence?
While there may be some differences on the exact number there is no denying that those without health coverage will experience more death.
Have no idea. Why don’t you tell me? Remember the last time that happened and your entire point got completely crushed because you can’t read? What the hell are you talking about?
So what do YOU recommend for a healthcare system?
It’s 100% government run healthcare that serves about 3% of the population and people FUCKING DIE waiting to be seen.
Nice way to dodge a question. What proof do you have that people die because they had to wait for healthcare? How many?
And is Medicare 100% government run?
So my wife and kids are out all night and it may be my green friend talking, but I just read through all your "Hmmm"s like this scene.
You’re Spongebob and Zep is Patrick. Diapers = counter evidence.

Hmm im kinda in the middle… I think Bills right…Liberals always defend Muslims but its true most Muslim countries have backwards laws on human rights women gays ect…not exactly liberal values…so why defend it so much. Getting stoned to death for bangin a dudes not exactly progressive.
As far as them coming in I agree too vet the shit out of them but if someones life long dream is to be a uber driver and not have nuts blown off come on in. Im 3rd gen immigrant so escaping a shity place to come here makes sense. But certain areas are a threat so screen the fuck out of em 1st

Liberals defend Muslims’ right to practice their religion without persecution; they don’t defend the government’s deplorable actions in the countries they live in. And we already do heavily vet immigrants from Muslim countries; it’s usually a two-year process.
