lol. lib tears never cease to flow 

why would anyone wear a scarf in any muslim country if he is a visitor?

is melania a practising muslim? if not, why would she practise religious ritual of another religion?

are the muslim sheiks taking of their turbans and start crossing themselves when they visit usa?

she wore perfectly decent clothes conforming all the possible social conventions for an official visit. that is all.

I agree with you.  Trump feels differently.  He feels that Michelle insulted the Saudis by not wearing the scarf.  Therefore Melania did too.  It's very black and white.

@Frederick:

I don't need to comment on this one.  Just click the link and read.

Trumps old tweets come back to haunt him all the time.  Even this week his euro trash hooker wife insulted Saudi Arabia by not wearing a head scarf.

I don't like Chuck Schumer either  though.  I wish someone else was the face of the Democratic party.

That euro trash hooker Melania went to Saudi Arabia and insulted the entire country by not wearing a head scarf. This is a huge deal folks.  We don't need any more enemies than we already have.  Trump told us just a couple years ago what a big deal this is when he tweeted:

"Many people are saying it was wonderful that Mrs. Obama refused to wear a scarf in Saudi Arabia, but they were insulted.We have enuf enemies:

His own rules that he made up don't seem to apply to him.

@oxphordo:

Here's the list of his successors:

1. Vice President Pence
2. House Speaker, Paul Ryan
3. President pro tempore of the Senate, Orrin Hatch
4. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson
5. Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin
6. Defense Secretary, James Mattis
7. Attorney General, Jeff Sessions
8. Acting Secretary of the Interior, Kevin Haugrud
9. Acting Agriculture Secretary, Michael Scuse
10. Commerce Secretary (vacant seat; nominee Wilbur Ross has not been confirmed)
11. Acting Labor Secretary, Ed Hugler
12. Health and Human Services Secretary, Tom Price
13. Acting Housing and Urban Development Secretary, Craig Clemmensen
14. Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao
15. Acting Energy Secretary, Grace Bochenek
16. Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos
17. Veteran Affairs Secretary, David Shulkin
18. Homeland Security Secretary, John Kelly

I didn't realize that was the order of the cabinet members.  I assume that is the order that those positions were created?  I would move Homeland Security Secretary much higher up on the list.

Here's a scary thought: President Betsy DeVos.

@brianboru72:

The Nixon investigation which led to his removal from office took 2 years. This independent, formal investigation has just started this week.

Give it time. And really, if he wasn't hiding something, why is he acting so scared? Why did he, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION, fire Comey because of "the Russia thing." He miscalculated because he's not smart enough to be less obvious about his motivations. He causes most of the damage to himself.
This is political drama at its best.  :laugh:

Hillary has been under investigation for 25 years and for most of that time she just went on about her business and never addressed much of what was going on.  She knew she had nothing to be concerned about so she just kept working.

The Trump administration should do the same.  Unfortunately, they are acting like guilty people.  Even if you give them the benefit of the doubt and think they are  innocent it's hard to ignore the fact that they are behaving like people who did something terrible.  They are letting the media win.  Trump needs to just get to work and be the President and just ignore what goes on in the press.

Most clocks have alarms on them.  A quick Amazon search for "alarm clock" reveals 93k results.  It's very common.

The whole idea of forcing people to buy insurance is a conservative idea.  It was written by conservatives during the Nixon administration and then kicked around Congress for 30 years until a Republican governor from Massachusetts (the bluest state in the country) decided to implement it in his state.  Romney used to talk a lot about how "freeloaders" were destroying the healthcare system.  They were forcing higher costs on everyone and bankrupting hospitals.  Republicans hate freeloaders so they forced people to pay for their own care.

If the Democrats had their way they would just implement single payer and be done with it.  Instead they were forced to enact a Republican plan and all the Republican snowflakes melted over  it.  Even Romney famously campaigned against his own healthcare plan when he ran for President.  How can you vote for a guy like that?  He claimed he wanted states to design their own programs and that sounds good at first but what do you think is going to happen in states like Alabama and Mississippi? It's just one more way to create inequality in this country.  The biggest problem with states enacting their own programs is that sick people (who are expensive) can simply move to states with better healthcare when they get sick.  I know several people who have moved to Massachusetts because nearly everyone has healthcare here.  It's extremely easy to get on Medicaid and nearly every doctor accepts it.  It's almost unheard of for a doctor not to accept Medicaid in this state.

Only a year?  Republicans have been been investigating Hillary for 25 years!  If Trump isn't guilty of anything he needs to just ignore it and do his job.

Mike Pence used an AOL account!!!  It's very likely AOL employees or contractors (very often in foreign countries) had access to his emails while he was running for VP.

I'm more concerned about the current administration.  I have no idea why you guys are so obsessed with a woman who doesn't matter.  Hillary is old news.  She will never hold a public office ever again.

We already know all this.  Nobody is disputing it.  This is public information that has existed for years.

@mhorndisk:

Not reading what you're saying, the title is like, DUH, but thanks for getting there.

It is DUH for you.. but not for the libtards who can't understand even the simplest concepts.
The media are playing this as if Trump is denying free healthcare coverage from 25 million people.  Those people were not getting free healthcare coverage to begin with.  What Trump is doing is not FORCING people to pay for coverage that they don't want.

People also get the idea that when their employer is paying the healthcare premiums.. that they are getting it for free.  Uh.. no.  Instead of having more money going into one's paycheck, that money is being taken before the employee ever sees it, and being sent off to the government.  Which by the way.. is a concept in communism.

I think you are misunderstanding what the AHCA does.  While there isn't a mandate, there is a requirement that you must maintain coverage.  If you don't maintain coverage and try to buy insurance later you have to pay more money for it.  This will be a disaster as people will wait until they get sick to purchase insurance and then won't be able to afford it.  They will be forced to go back and use the ER care which is expensive and not the right kind of care.  They won't be able to afford those bills either and then the taxpayers get stuck paying those bills as well as the responsible people who have insurance.  I'm sick and tired of paying for freeloaders.  ObamaCare eliminated freeloaders and forced everyone to pay something even if it was just a fine.

@Frederick:

Some things puzzle me about Obamacare.
Obamacare is not free healthcare, you and/or your employer have to pay for it.
Let's just pretend that Obamacare completely vanished overnight….
What is to stop people from buying their OWN health insurance?
Seems to me that people could buy better insurance on their own than the crap they are forced to buy that covers very little.

This is one topic that I lack an understanding of, because I've never had a health issue that would be covered by Obamacare.
I've always been puzzled why insurance doesn't cover or barely covers anything to do with dental, vision, or hearing.

Why should I pay for someone's shitty health because they smoked, abused alcohol, did drugs, ate the wrong foods, etc.?

My understanding is that people who would have healthcare insurance whether or not Obamacare existed, want everybody else to have Obamacare to subsidize THEIR insurance and lower their costs.

I agree with you on all of your points.  The solution to this is single payer.

Don't even mention free market.  If John Smith makes $50k per year but needs $100k per year in treatment and drugs to stay alive there is no free market solution for him.  It doesn't exist and it never will.  Companies will NEVER compete for his business.  It won't happen.

For the most part, health insurers don't provide any value to the healthcare system.  They simply skim money off the top and complicate life for all parties involved.  Trust me.  I know.  I've worked in health insurance for my entire career.

@Frederick:

I don't suppose that Hillary instructing some private company with no security clearance to access and delete at least 30,000 e-mails, which were property of the U.S. government, AFTER being ordered by Congress to turn them over, is obstruction of justice? nooo….

Ohhhhh!  Now I get it!  You want Trump to just do the same things that Hillary did.

Who is voting for her?  Is she running for office?  How long was I sleeping?

@royalcrown89:

That would be headlining news had our incompetent president not fired the FBI director. Talk about bad timing  :cheers:

Well, I don't think increasing the unemployed by one (Comey) will have much effect.

Comey had to go.  In fact, the biggest criticism that Trump is getting is that he waited over 100 days to fire him.

Here's an idea.. why didn't Osama fire Comey?

Obama should have done it after the election.

Anyone coming to this site using the word "Libtard"?  :cheesy2: :cheesy2: :cheesy2:

There are a handful of alt-right trolls here, spewing the propaganda they are brainwashed with. It is part of the alt-right's attempt to recruit LGBT people from the left to the right. It is idiotic, and transparent- just like everything the alt-right does. Don't bother arguing with them- they can't think. All they will do is drown you out by repeating their catchphrases and talking points over and over like good little wind-up toys.

I agree with you.  These alt-right guys just have really tiny penises and they are super insecure about it so they come here and bash Hillary and Obama…...two people who just don't matter.

That being said, I agree with Fredrick about Schumer.  I don't like the idea of obstructionism from either party.  I didn't like it when the Republicans did it and I don't like it now.

The funny thing about religion is that for the most part you are born into it.  Children are told what to believe and they either continue to believe that their entire life or they reach a point in their lives where they decide not to believe it.  It's often not an easy thing to do no matter what religion you come from.

@PorchMonk:

It takes MONTHS for a new administration to have an effect on the economy.

Get back to us in 2018 and we'll see how great everything is.

It won't matter.  Only good numbers will be attributed to Trump.  All others will be fake.  Trumpatrds will believe it.

The snowflakes and libtards are desperately trying to find a way to make this sound like bad news.

If they can attack Trump over firing Comey when Hillary and Podesta were incessantly condemning Comey themselves.. there is no level of disinformation that they will stoop to attack Trump.

By the way, it's so sad that Donald Trump caused Jimmy Kimmel's baby to have a heart problem.  (according to the libtards)

Trump just told us that the real unemployment was 40% just a few months ago.  Now we are at a record.  Both of these things can't be true.  Which one is he lying about?

Shame on all those bleeding heart liberals for trying to give people healthcare.  They should have been spending their time giving tax breaks to the rich!
