JFK-1 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I'm trying to imagine the devastation if they hadn't stopped Trump going tp the Capitol. How would they have stopped this mob if he were at the front of it looking for Mike Pence? Shoot him? Personally I would have liked that, ideal solution. I think Pelosi may have shot him herself.

JFK-1 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 This guy is speaking of a Washington Post article which he and maybe the Post, I don't know I haven't read the article, seem to consider the final nail in Trumps coffin regarding the documents case. There Is An Informer Inside Donald Trump's Home MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell analyzes new reporting from The Washington Post that an employee of Donald Trump’s told federal investigators that they were ordered by the former president to move boxes containing government documents to Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago after Trump was subpoenaed by the Justice Department for those documents.

JFK-1 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 This is a link to a pdf copy of Trump's 14 page letter in response to the committee and this truly is deranged right from the opening paragraph. Hell right from the opening line. Quote Dear Chairman Thompson, THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN! Trump thinks all caps and exclamation marks are powerful stuff, but it rapidly gets even crazier. If I were ranting like this and didn't actually end up on a psych ward i'm certain people around me would be thinking I should be for my own good. https://cdn.nucleusfiles.com/27/27b7896f-01c5-4609-93c7-742e5cb22e96/830-am-final-january-6th-committee-letter14446.pdf?_nlid=test123&_nhids=TEST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Trump closed his letter to Thompson by defending the rioters as “great American patriots” who questioned the election results, even as the Justice Department has prosecuted numerous members of the mob for their actions that day. “The people of this Country will not stand for unequal justice under the law, or Liberty and Justice for some. Election Day is coming. We demand answers on the Crime of the Century,” Trump wrote. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank F he didn't look anything like Jim Davidson, that would have slayed me. Let me preface this by saying that I could be wrong, but my understanding is that by paying the surcharge, essentially if granted the visa I will have full access to the NHS for that 2.5 years. Then I think I may have to pay it again (Sorry love) at the 2.5 mark for an additional 2.5 years of it, then in theory, I would pay it like any other citizen assuming I am granted citizenship. Also yes to what you assumed earlier. My health insurance coverage was absolutely abysmal. I'm still paying $50 a month to a hospital because I dared to go to an A&E because I had a violent stomach flu 2 years ago. I probably still have at least several months to pay on it.

The US has the worst WHO healthcare ranking of any high income nation and is below many middling nations. Think they're about 37th in the world or around it. Yet there's a delusion that they have "the best healthcare in the world" I put that in quotation marks because I have heard it parroted by Republican talking heads so many times, and as you know it's utter nonsense. People here live in terror of being sick, injured, or their kids being sick or injured which isn't uncommon among kids. Because they know it could ruin their lives. I have seen a goodly number of articles written by Americans who moved to the UK with that preconceived idea in their heads. With the additional Republican parroted line that if you're in one of those "socialist" healthcare countries, socialist is a bad word, just a grade below Nazi, and get sick you're going to die waiting for treatment. What these people eventually come to realise is that this is utter garbage and that the NHS is infinitely superior to anything they ever had at home. Despite all the domestic bitching about the NHS you have to experience something like this US shambles masquerading as healthcare to truly appreciate what a gift it is. A remark by one of those Americans who moved to the UK in her article praising the NHS as infinitely superior to US healthcare. She's sitting in a doctors waiting room for her appointment and there are a couple of older ladies there waiting to be seen too. They're complaining about how long they have to wait, one complained she waited 20 minutes on her previous appointment, "scandalous" said the other. While all this American woman could think is what they're saying amounts to this Rolls Royce isn't driving fast enough for their liking. And having experienced both it is a Rolls Royce in comparison to the American Arkansas Chug-a-Bug. Calling this healthcare is like calling McDonalds foodcare, if you have money you get a burger. If you don't you're going hungry. Same with their "healthcare" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time and time again while I've been visiting the UK I've had people shocked when I say that I'm the one who wanted to immigrate over, because "people die trying to get into America!" They don't get that so many Americans die from preventable or treatable diseases simply because they know going in to get checked at a doctor could be the end of them financially. I am fully aware that I am one major illness away from being thousands, if not tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt from something I have no control over. And why? Because as you said anything labelled "socialist" here is a slap in the face and invokes anger and vitriol. That's perhaps the saddest part of America to me, we don't care enough about our fellow people to want them to be able to live happy and healthy lives because that means we have to pay a smidge more taxes or re-think what we know about the definitions of words.

One guy did say to me "I don't want to pay for other peoples healthcare" But that aside, he is paying for other peoples healthcare if they're costing a lot in treatment and he isn't. That health insurance system is effectively a tax on top of income taxes. If they adopted the British system any tax increase to pay for it would be less than paying for health insurance. They pay something like 3 times more per head than the UK does for far inferior results. They're being milked by a combination of insurance companies and drug manufacturers. It's a 2 trillion dollar a year gravy train. But yes, it's a harsh unforgiving society. And becoming worse as the GOP go full Q anon level crazy.
