The rural vs the city has already been divided and conquered. There are trumpers in the city (libertarians) and there are progressives in rural communities (they’ll still be friends but they can’t talk about politics). It’s the way it is now.

No screed.

A long monotonous speech or piece of writing.

You said put a stop to it like we have a choice. Canada has a lot of the same things firing up, I suggest you guys follow your own advice on that. Still love you though.

Me too brother, me too.

Okay, tell me how we’re supposed to stop the most heavily guarded dude on the planet with the biggest military. He also has every education and financial record on every citizen. Go…

First of all, I personally did not turn my back on you. Trump and his fellow baddies did. Second, as I said in another thread, he legally cheated and probably illegally cheated as well. He knew he was going to win long before Biden showed he was old and his polls were bad. I think he even said something like, “Don’t worry about the election, that’s covered.” or something like that.

It’s probably wise not to trust us completely, especially in rural areas. I would treat us like family you lost touch with for a long time that you used to love to hang with, but you’ve heard some shady things about.

Everyone I talk to has about even odds of being a nazi

Well, a good portion of the Nazi’s don’t know they’re the baddies. I know, still Nazis, but they think they’re fighting for a job they don’t want. They’re poor and miserable and want to blame others, trump let’s them do that.

The rest, you can tell by if they wear a red hat, have bumper stickers that have an american flag or eagle on it or looks uncomfortable in city settings. If they call themselves a Libertarian, that’s also a big red flag (pun intended). They give off pretty loud signals.

What would you do? He legally cheated and probably had a light mix of illegally thrown in. What exactly should I do?

You overestimate our fellow Americans.

I do not:

Trump’s Job Approval Rating at 45%; Congress’ Jumps to 29%

Another distraction meant to divide. We, the people in the US, love you Canada. I can see why you hate our president, but most of us hate him too.

Who would trust what he says anyway? Even if Zelinsky thought it was a good idea, trump would never follow through.

When James Bond is a wife macheter and a Nazi.

Seems like it should have gone down more in the US after the salute (check the further back timelines):

I hope he tests the waters there and Australia follows through.

Not to brag (I am), but we banned direct links awhile ago on People Twitter. We require archived links for well known people and politicians and allow screenshots. That seems to be a working solution.

🤣 I thought this was an onion article.

Whoa, you’re right! The US should be so lucky.

Healthcare in South Korea is universal, although a significant portion of healthcare is privately funded. South Korea’s healthcare system is based on the National Health Insurance Service, a public health insurance program run by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to which South Koreans of sufficient income must pay contributions in order to insure themselves and their dependants, and the Medical Aid Program, a social welfare program run by the central government and local governments to insure those unable to pay National Health Insurance contributions. In 2015, South Korea ranked first in the OECD for healthcare access.[1] Satisfaction of healthcare has been consistently among the highest in the world – South Korea was rated as the second most efficient healthcare system by Bloomberg.[2][3] Health insurance in South Korea is single-payer system.[4] The introduction of health insurance resulted in a significant surge in the utilization of healthcare services. Healthcare providers are overburdened by government taking advantage of them.

Edit: Acording to Numbeo (?), the Us is 38th and South Korea is 2. https://www.numbeo.com/health-care/rankings_by_country.jsp

I don’t think they have universal healthcare and their people are worked really hard, not sure why you’d want to go there other than it has a great city.

Operation Sexy Time!

I’m not being snarky, I swear. But Cadbury eggs were/are super gross. Were those made in America for Americans and you get a different product?

This is the underage sex part, seems softly written.

The Committee provided Representative Gaetz with the names of 15 women who were alleged to have received payments from him or on his behalf relating to sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, as well as the approximate payment amounts and transaction years, but he did not provide any explanation for those payments.

Representative Gaetz responded publicly to allegations that his payments to women were for sex by stating that “someone is trying to recategorize my generosity to ex-girlfriends as something more untoward.”105 He also repeatedly denied having ever paid for sex.106 When given the opportunity to put that assertion in writing in this matter, however, Representative Gaetz refused to respond, asserting that “asking about [his]sexual history as a single man with adult women is a bridge too far.

”Representative Gaetz did broadly address the allegation that he engaged in sexual activity with a minor; he asserted in his September 26, 2024, letter to the Committee: “Your correspondence of September 4 asks whether I have engaged in sexual activity with any individual under 18. The answer to this question is unequivocally NO. You can apply this response to every version of this question, in every forum.”107 The Committee’s September 4 letter, however,specifically asked him whether he was present at the July 15, 2017, party at Mr. Dorworth’s,whether he ever engaged in sexual activity with Victim A and when, and whether he ever gave Victim A money (directly or indirectly) and if so, for what purpose. Representative Gaetz did not answer any of those questions.
