    I'm not black. I'm Asian - which I don't think qualifies for affirmative action. If anything, there are a disproportionate number of Asians here (compared to % of population).
    you're allegedly a Jamaican Asian female. You'd be delusional if you think that demographic doesn't meet any affirmative action quotas.

    It is but not sure of your age but pensions are like social security, anyone under the age of 35-45 knows damn well their not going to be paid. I feel like Tyler Durden (ironic since the whole ZeroHedge thing) but the only out is to blow it all up and start over. Single payer would help the ed become the un ed and the un ed become the ed. Even things out. People are dieing because of the current setup but everyone complains about the ones that will die.



    Wait. You don't actually believe the generation that believes student loans should be forgiven will actually honor unpayable pensions, veteran benefits from BS "wars on freedom", and social security do you?


    Here i thought you were the troll.
    Not all too much on top of this, but what makes you say I won't get my pension? I have a 401k through my company and a pension(full ride after 30 years)

    McCain Is Too Unwell to Take Big Decisions, Like Voting

    Anyone who can annihilate the entire GOP on live C-Span while sparing two old ladies knows how to take big decisions.

    state-wide insurance pools in low-population states are tool small

    although a smart high-population state, blue of course, like CA might work, but Brown, etc are owned by BigInsurance

    the oligarchy pays politicians for protection
    All the fat s, diabetes having lazy people get govt jobs (or do they get that way after they get the jobs?) And the pool gets ed.

    When I firststarted shopping term life insurance ten years ago the ny met guy trigger pushing whole life policies. He tried reassuring me about the longevity of said policies becauseof ny life past history. The whole too big to fail deal. I've lost some equity on co-ops in the past going bankrupt and I've had deals with the govt fall through after they reneged. I've learned a bird in the hand is worth twoin the Bush.

    How do you reassure a 37 yr old weekend they say the govt will pay them social security? I've told my you'd kids that there will be a time to sell their assets and move to another country, I don't know when that is but your a fool if you think this house of cards is to stand for another50 years. You do realize how messed up this country already is to elect Trump, don't you?

    Govt jobs are always the best in communist or socialist scenarios.


    Why is it that cost of living wage increases under govt jobs ALWAYS far exceed real world increases?

    It sounds like we're the s in fifty years in your scenario, so what makes you think other countries are going to want Americans?

    But you're telling your kids to leave America. If we're Mexico by then why would anyone want them? What if Canada builds a wall?

    And don't let Apple operate at all in the states till they pay their fair share too. Must be nice to be the biggest profiteers of slavery and pay less in taxes than most of the people who cant afford their products, but still manage somehow.

    The stupid **** is like the inbreds in Alabama. They deserve their welfare, which you know this **** has used and abused because she's such a piece of , them evil black folk don't tho.

    Of course the piece of referred to black people that worked for her father as hers, so the racist **** thinks all poor people are beneath contempt

    She really does just need to beg her children for forgiveness for being such a piece of , and then eat a ing bullet
    In most cases, I would consider this outrageous, but after having endured her posts, I agree 100% with you.

    you're allegedly a Jamaican Asian female. You'd be delusional if you think that demographic doesn't meet any affirmative action quotas.
    Maybe as a female in some CS or engineering school/program or perhaps the military - but so would 53?% of the population. Jamaican or Asian gets me nothing - Asian is a strike against - particularly in college admissions.

    Again, who says we will be wanted? You seem to not understand that point. Theonly reason that Americans are welcomed into countries already is because of the money that they will spend.

    It's true, I'm not understanding your point when you're telling your kids to move out of the country when the supposedly hits the fan. Why is any first world country willing to take your kids in as America burns in your scenario? You think anyone is going to give a damn about American refugees after all the we have started since the 1950s?

    The Sanctimony and Sin of G.O.P. ‘Moderates’

    McCain has been a crucial enabler of the Senate’s shame — and a world-class hypocrite to boot. On Tuesday,

    he cast the decisive vote allowing this whole process to proceed, with no Democratic votes.

    Then he gave a sanctimonious speech denouncing partisanship and divisiveness, and declared that while he voted to allow debate to begin, he would never vote for the existing Senate bill without major changes.


    And later that day, he voted for that very bill, even though, you guessed it, it hadn’t changed in any significant way.

    But none of what is happening right now would be possible without the acquiescence of politicians who pretend to be open-minded, decry partisanship, tut-tut about incivility and act as enablers for the extremists again and again.

    I started with McCain because so many journalists still fall for his pose as an independent-minded maverick, ignoring the reality that he has almost always been a reliable partisan yes-man whenever it matters.

    Incredibly, some commentators actually praised his performance earlier this week,focusing on his noble-sounding words and ignoring his utterly craven actions. Senator S ey Moore Capito of West Virginia — whose state has benefited enormously from the Affordable Care Act. “I didn’t come here to hurt people,” she declared not long ago — then voted for a bill that would quadruple the number of uninsured in West Virginia.

    Rob Portman of Ohio, who cultivates an image as a moderate, praises Medicaid and talked big about the defects of Republican health plans — but also voted for that bill. Hey, in Ohio the number of uninsured would only triple.

    Dean er of Nevada, who has lauded his state’s federally financed Medicaid expansion, but voted along with McCain to let debate proceed on an unknown bill, very much putting that expansion at risk.

    credit is due: two senators, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, have stood up against the effort to betray every promise Republicans have made

    Um, that vote he cast Thursday night really mattered. The repeal is likely dead until October because McCain got that reconciliation bill to an actual vote and then killed it. McConnell can't bring repeal back into a reconciliation bill this fiscal year unless he folds it into the tax bill or the debt ceiling bill the senate will be working on the next couple of weeks and in September. If McCain came out as a staunch no the entire way like Collins and Murkowski we wouldn't have seen McConnell bring the skinny repeal up for a vote and the senate would be working on a repeal all the way to the recess. So McCain's vote to proceed but vote against the real bill ensured either he gets the bipartisan bill he argued for (doubtful) or we don't see a vote on a reconciliation bill to repeal for more than two months. I don't figure he did it save anyone's healthcare, but instead so the senate could get on top of the defense bill that is his main priority. And I wonder if he bought off votes from Shumer, Feinstein, and the Dems he was laughing with before casting his vote to make sure that one gets to 60. Also I'm guessing he wanted to move on to tax cuts and making sure the government doesn't default instead of letting Trump force them to keep going on a healthcare bill they would have a hard time sorting out quickly when they're up against a late September deadline on their three main priorities (repeal, taxes, debt ceiling).

    Please. McCain is dying & is dealing. "Here, God, I'll give everyone health care...that will erase all my war mongering. Deal?"

    - "+ tell me what C was like early on."

    unlike the ladies who voted to block it going to a vote, he voted YES for the vote, then voted NO in the vote. grandstanding bull hypocrit.

    wandering with a uncovered bloody surgical scab, what a grandstanding ham.
