I'm not sure they'd ever been in the room, at any point close to US announcing their 'deals in progress', 'near complete deals' or when anyone in the US administration thought about Iran. Actually last one may be correct, they sent non us officials for the dealing like wtf? Keystone hockey, bunch of hosers.

I dunno where I caught on the keystone hockey bit, don't even watch it but apparently the junior league so it fits well. Though not even sure these dudes would hit a junior league in politics. May as well be the beer league.

As a person who used to go to many raves and after parties that would have rocked. Cuddle puddle.

The worst part doge saved what, a few billion at most? The current US administration has stolen more than that, so a few billionaires can make more money? That should be enough for citizens to be angry let alone their other shit.

The Iran conflict alone is least a billion dollars a day when active.... for worse than what was agreed upon before. Go US for another shot in the foot but wrecks the entire world's economy and makes you look worse on the world stage while making Iran stronger. Making things great still?

Yeah in decent countries the min wage and being able to afford a broken leg (or similar accident) aren't as closely related. Mean maybe only got so many sick / vacation days but the actual cost of treatment isn't what you're worried about. At worse you'd be out the money you'd make during non working days, not much of an actual cost (okay in Canada I had to pay for the crutches when I twisted my knee one close to Xmas time slipping on ice, unfortunately didn't realize it just needed a good knock in to get right till that happened)

There are worse situations but that's probably the worst case scenario (well outlying cases exist) that most people come into for the most part is all. Of course some worst cases exist but expecting someone to pay 5 plus digits (okay I know that's even low) of expenses for medical is insane.

Rising tide, boats etc. More flippant than I mean, I really do wish we could figure out a more equal society, and I do well enough. If I did worse but more people could not worry, I'd be okay with that too. As long as it was a society wide thing not just working classs gets kneecapped while the rich get richer.

Maybe he asked for more because he didn't understand and he thought it was so great as an adult to point out animals and remember a few words. Course I think the actual cause ... That doctors need updates on his progress into his decline.

Oh an amusing comment about joining other nations where it's not 'we will make you one of us' like our direct neighbors have been making lately, from the dude with no humour whatsoever. Know I've said it before on here but will do again, I've always felt closer in values and ideals that match the EU. Being a part of EU may help for more policies that help people rather than try and compete with the US. They obviously don't want consensual cooperation. Unpack the last line as you prefer, probably close enough.

Sure but pictures are always good to show people who may be less than receptive to the obvious of the Trumps social circle. Plus a marriage tends to have a bit more weight, in case there are a few on the fence.

So many of us we? definitely but everyone? No they don't all know or recognize that fact. So best to pour out all evidence.

I have to only assume that many don't understand because the US population continues to let Trump be president. And also fuck the world's economy

That's why I just read the jist of things and if I decide, ignore it. Course I'm an old fart so like an old fart and just ignore people who say things I don't agree with (not really I try and take viewpoints into consideration at all times)

Sorry went on a bit but I always take comments with a grain of salt, then have to aggregate them like meta for game reviews to get an idea. Half the random comments have no substance, ignore them. Find the ones that have good points, consider if it's worth watching....then just do what you want anyways. Only so much time I'm this world.

Though comments give you a rough idea of what's decent, can't rely on them in end. Growing up just ended up renting from box covers, way worse than this idea, so premise is interesting? Give it a shot. Can always press stop.

That and he's rigging stuff to stay in power he doesn't need elections, democracy.... Just bootlcker stormtroopers that follow what he says and hope people some rise up too soon....like last year would have been.

But today would be cool too if any Americans want to resist an authoritarian government under....Trump of all people. It'd be nice if he wasn't in charge of the world's largest nuclear stockpile. Just saying as a neighbor not wanting to be part of the states. I like my healthcare and I doubt it's a package deal.

I think even a random office environment may frown upon that sort of behavior. I'm less than social but I do put on my retail front when in an environment with coworkers. Thankfully I work from home now so just need my customer service voice when using the phone heh, wish they'd figure out that email works just as well, 99.9% of the time, sometimes better.

Or relief....no wonder they're always aggro on film arms can't reach far enough.
