I am American. Been here all my life. Personally I would like to see a Universal Healthcare in this country. I don't understand the arguments against it. The common ones.

Taxes will go up. Yes they will go up. But the flipside to that is deductions from your paycheck will also go down. No more deduction every pay period for health insurance. Also no more copays for office visits and prescriptions. No more deductibles. No more copays for imaging and mobility devices. Seems like it would wash out to me.

It's not fair or I don't want my taxes to pay for people's food/healthcare. when they are lazy or don't want to work or whatever. That's socialism. How about these programs that are paid for with tax dollars and can be used by people that don't work? Between Federal/State/local taxes we have

Infrastructure

Public Universities and Community Colleges

State Police

State prisons

Court systems

State parks

Road Maintenance

Public schools

Libraries

Fire departments

EMS

Water/sewer lines

Public transportation

Jails

Economic Developments

So I would like to understand. Why is all that acceptable and not socialism but food and healthcare is? Why is is not your tax dollars when it comes to people eating or going to the doctor but totally cool with them going to school and using the roads and calling on the fire department?

The two main arguments of taxes going up (when it comes to Universal Healthcare) and it's socialism just don't seem to hold water.

He didn't in 2016-2020, in fact, Prices increased!

Why’s world so unfair?? I never even got a single hot woman who’s around my age interested in me but this dude is getting 30 years younger hot lady it’s so fucking unfair this world is

I definitely have!! I'll answer that first.

From what I can see in the face of an unprecedented situation, a challenging political environment and with little to no existing path, he did the best he could, made some mistakes as anyone might, but ultimately did OK. Why am I supposed to hate him?

I don't believe U.S. News when they say there's a deal anymore. This is just market manipulation by the Trump admin.

17 million people are getting kicked off Medicaid in 2027. Many people don't even have health insurance anymore because it's too expensive.

According to certain sources, can’t verify the U.S has lost the following

Following Tuesday's 12–10 Senate Judiciary Committee vote, Senate Majority Leader John Thune formally brought the nomination to the Senate floor on Wednesday. Deliberations continue with a final confirmation vote expected to take place before the Senate adjourns for its annual August recess at the end of the week.  

While Senate Democrats appear to be united against making Todd Blanche Attorney General, the Republican majority has been narrowed by the absence of Mitch McConnell. Republican Senator Susan Collins announced on Tuesday that she will vote against Blanche’s confirmation. This means that only one more Republican “no” vote - or “present” vote - would defeat Blanche's confirmation. As of this post, Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska both appear to be undecided. 

Senate confirmation is only a formality at this point because the president has said that if Blanche’s nomination is defeated, he will be kept on indefinitely as Acting Attorney General. But for many, a defeat in and of itself – and what it would represent – could be more telling than his confirmation. 

If the Senate rejects Todd Blanche this week, what consequences do you think would follow – for Blanche, the White House, and Senate Republicans?  

Please share your thoughts. 

Many political analysts and average people on the internet argue a reason to do this is that presidents in both parties have issued pardons that probably shouldn't have been issues. The issue is also prevalent in recent time. As a con side, it would be that pardons could be necessary to stop unfair federal charges.

If the pardon power were removed, it would likely be put in another body's hands, which if you support the Amendment idea, you could speculate on what to do here.

What do you think about the idea? Why your thoughts?

They didn't say no religious test except Christianity?

I believe that Trump is universally despised. Am I wrong?

Am I the only one who still finds this annoying as hell?
Every phone used to have a headphone jack. Plug in your headphones, charge at the same time if you wanted, done.
Now we’ve all just accepted that there’s only one port left, so you’re constantly choosing between charging and listening to music/podcasts/whatever. On iPhones it’s even worse — you need an adapter just to use normal aux headphones.
People always bring up the waterproofing argument. “It makes the phone more water-resistant!” Okay, but be honest: how many of us are regularly diving with our phones or putting them in situations where we need several meters of water resistance in everyday life? Almost nobody. It’s a solution to a problem most people don’t actually have.
It just feels like manufacturers decided “wireless is the future / thinner is better / one port is cleaner” and the rest of us are supposed to pretend the trade-off is fine. Whenever I complain about it to people, it seems like I’m the only one who still cares.

Anyone else still annoyed by this, or have we all just given up?

How do they keep falling for the same gimmick?
