Tom Price has been using government jets as his own personal uber. At our expense. If you want an example of cronyism, check out how he's filled very important roles in government.

Looks like McCain killed Trumpcare again. I say let them try again. Each time they do, they are exposed for how incompetent they are. They'd only need to get 1 or 2 Democrats on board a plan that is a little more sensible, and it would pass. But they don't want to do that.

LIke Bill Clinton, I agree and disagree with this. Shooting it down would shut Kim's mouth but at the same time, you're showing your cards to the rest of the world.

I think I'd rather keep the major powers guessing on how good our ABM system is than for them to see it. I also don't want worst case scenario......

We shoot.....we miss.

Bizarre immedgration policy, I was really only over to try the drugs then come home had no intention to stay. Unless drugs were that good.


Don't/do drugs they are/aren't worth it.

I'm worried about this too. In a couple years when they build the resort I want to go to Canada's Wonderland. During the GNR tour I remember some fans who bought tickets that got turned away at the border due to minor charges in their youth.

Meh. They all do that....and have for eons. You cant fault one for what the whole group does.

Start voting independent if you don't like that shit....although they'll do it too if they get in power.

Sure I can, because they don't all do it. Many take the train or fly commercial, some even drive to a destination 30 minutes away instead of having tax payers flip ten grand for their trip. Especially when it's a guy who ran on stopping people from doing what he did.

That and every medical group came out against it. Hell, even insurance companies oppose it.
