quote:http://thehill.com/...ry-approval-to-38-new-trump-trademarks Yes, Trump branded escort services. Nothing says Presidential quite like an escort service. Massage Parlors too?The religious right that supports him is morally bankrupt. Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

The bright spot in all this is that the rest of the world can get along just fine without the US and in fact will be happy to see the US bow out as a developed Nation and remain on the sidelines.
How is that a bright spot?

And you think that we would not fight becoming a class of exploited workers?
If necessary we will become the new terrorists and blow their stuff up for a change. The US will never play second fiddle to any other class of people or nation. After all, they fought for years for equal pay. We too will insist on it. Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.

Ding-Dong! The witch is dead. You are talking about all of us. If you think this witch will die without a fight, keep in mind that we have the weapons of mass destruction and, given the option of servanthood or death, we will take the planet down with us.

Phat writes: If necessary we will become the new terrorists and blow their stuff up for a change. Yup, very possible. But again the evidence shows that they will most likely blow up their own cities and trash the stores and kill each other.

ringo writes: No. I realize its wrong thinking. Jesus would likely advise us to surrender our pride and let the crowd pass us by. I'm talking out of my basest nature. I've earned my spot in line and I won't simply let the masses ahead of me. We might not be the best and the brightest, but we sure as heck are the most powerful. At one time, our parents lived in the most prosperous country and we believe its our birthright to keep that legacy. Nice. That's what "greatness" means to you?

ring writes: I know...You are going to bring up responsibility again. Your birthright is not just "prosperity". Sorry about my rant. Its irrational. I explained my feelings about it here. This stuff hurts. You are asking a country whose dreams are unfulfilled to turn the other cheek. Now I understand how Germans felt before Hitler. Their once great empire was gone.They owed money. Some clown from reality TV promised to make them great again. Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.

You don't seem to understand Phat.
There is no need to act like Hitler. The people who actually control those weapons you talk about will benefit. They will get richer. The American citizens will get jobs. Sure the pay will not be enough to live on and they will not get the healthcare common in all the other developed nations but they really have no power. The politicians and business owners will do great. The military will get paid and new play toys. But big war is bad for business so sorry Charlie, you don't get the worm. You don't get to have a say in what happens elsewhere.

So once again the rich win. Trump must be lying. There is no plan to help the middle class. Obama had a better one. So now my anger is directed at the wealthy people. Even though that is what I once aspired to be. I think I'm going neurotic.....

We may not get a say, but our God will make us great again...after all, He loves us...the leftists are the enemy and will burn in hell forever....

The GOP healthcare bill now working its way through the House would reduce taxes on the rich by billions of dollars per year. Repealed would be the 3.8% tax on capital gains, and the 0.9% Medicare surcharge. These taxes apply only to those making more than $200,000/year, or $250,000/year filing jointly. Income from these taxes were used to help fund the Affordable Care Act.
