Instant special election.

American voters have been indoctrinated to think anything that in government initiated is "socialism."

Yet, they keep voting for the opposite. People seem too dumb to be allowed good things.

Sure, but the real culprits are the politicians who are financially supported by the health insurance industry and keep defending this insane system. Bernie for President.

Complaining about the taxes would be the dumbest since the US spends a lot more tax money for a lot less per capita.

I really don't think Raygun could have thought of a much better scenario than the one she's living right now. She's world famous and it's not like she was going to win any medals anyway. She should take advantage of this situation and just run with it. Write a book, make speeches, do events. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Don't get all offended about it.

Actually, he is. He holds South African, Canadian, and US citizenship.

I left live-TV behind years ago. I only consider and watch streaming services that offer an ad-free option. Also don't want my kids to watch all those ads. If we teach the next generation to despise ads, maybe we can change things.

Plenty of his supporters care about the 2nd amendment. Trump is extremely thin-skinned when it comes to his popularity and self-preservation.

But reality has the response covered:

Many European countries has a max wait time of 90 days for non-emergency elective surgery. If the wait is longer than that at a public hospital, the patient can choose to have the surgery done at a private hospital if there's room at no additional cost. Emergencies are always treated immediately, of course. You can also choose to have a private top-up health insurance plan if you wish to always be treated at private hospitals.

It's wild that Americans accept this idiotic healthcare system.

It's not gonna happen. It would open up challenges to constitutional amendments that he and his supporters care about.

 

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) repeated social media claims that humans can control the weather — in the midst of a series of deadly hurricanes — is too much for some of her colleagues to handle."

 

"Unlike the 2020 election, when Republicans opposed pandemic-related changes such as expanded mail-in voting, both parties are encouraging new rules to help people vote.

One possible reason for the GOP's change of heart: In North Carolina — a swing state that's particularly key to former President Trump's pathway to victory — 8% of eligible voters are in counties impacted by Hurricane Helene. Those include many voters in rural, Republican-leaning areas."
