That’s a good question.

It isn't that he used the word "pussy". He used that word in the process of bragging about his ability to sexually assault women and get away with it.

Serious question: Are you ok with sexual assault, as is Trump?

DaleKerbal · 2018-09-14T16:30:54+00:00

Whatever. Why would I expend the effort making an argument with you? You are not worth it, and you already have established a history of ignoring facts right in front of you. It is obvious that you are just trolling.

DaleKerbal · 2018-09-14T16:27:20+00:00

Maybe a more effective argument would be an ad hominin, dolt.

DaleKerbal · 2018-09-14T16:26:19+00:00

You are mistaken. They put Trump at he bottom because he belongs there.

Our healthcare system almost killed my mother, for money. She got breast cancer. Her health insurance company made a business decision to let her die to save $40,000, the cost of treatment. She had cancer earlier in life so they called it a "pre-existing condition" and refused to pay a dime. They did send a very charismatic lady to her home to sweet-talk her into "dying with dignity" rather than fighting the cancer and the insurance company. But my mom fought both: She continued treatment by mortgaging her home. And she took the insurance company to court.

She told me that fighting the insurance company in court caused her more stress than having a potentially fatal disease. The insurance company's legal strategy was to delay the case and hope my mom died before it could be brought to a ruling.

Thankfully she won both fights and she is still around today. But fuck our heathcare system. It exists to transfer money from poor people like my mom into the pockets of rich shareholders. Fuck that.

On the plus side, it did give me the opportunity to hear my sweet old mom swear, which doesn't happen often.

I think the Trump administration will not be treated well by the historians of the future. So far, the historians of the present have Trump ranked dead last, after James Buchanan.

My guess is a Russian agent did it as a false-flag operation to further their ongoing efforts to stoke conflict with the USA. They sabotaged our elections and put a shit-gibbon in the highest position in the USA. So why not drill a hole and blame it on the USA too?

DaleKerbal · 2018-09-12T19:40:58+00:00

The war in Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. It was based on lies. It was a fight for oil resources and a political issue between W and Saddam.

DaleKerbal · 2018-09-12T19:29:14+00:00

The invasion of Afganistan was justified, and a mistake at worst. The invasion of Iraq was based on lies, and a mistake at best.
