Somebody has to get ahold of the man and tell him to slow down. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak, I can’t handle this much winning.

I'm not even American and I'm enjoying the winning. Hopefully it filters to Europe through political osmosis.
Honestly, if Trump cripples the Irish economy then it's entirely the fault of my incompetent government and I don't even care, good for Americans.

Our economy is a fake economy that's almost entirely reliant on investment from American companies due to our (previously) low corporate tax rate of 12.5%. The EU forced our spineless government to raise it to 15% and now Trump is set to match it. Well done to my government for being retarded.

I say this as someone currently working for an American multinational.

If you don't like the arrangement, you can leave.

My family fought in the revolutionary war. This government can change the arrangement or the American people will change it for them.

freedom isn't free.

how did this man losing his face in Afghanistan make America more free? Did it end NSA spying? It might've helped the CIA traffic Heroin in the country. You people wonder why the citizens of the country hate the government so much?

You can be born in West Bumfuck, Oklahoma and have a nice life.

you ever been to west bumfuck? Maybe instead of turning your nose up on real Americans and traveling the world thinking your some kind of humanitarian you could spend more time and compassion on the people who keep you safe in your bed.

"10 minutes ago" is a funny way to describe a 30 year long ideological transformation.

Looks pretty flat to me until the Democrat-aligned media got spooked by Occupy Wall Street and started pushing idpol hard.

That's a dumb argument. If that were the case the problem isn't that this guy should work more, but that more people should be trained in this "very specific operation" that "hundreds of people" suffer from.

Let's say it takes 2 years to train someone to be able to do this surgery. How many hours should the surgeon work per week while waiting for the new surgeons to be trained?

This argument is based on pointless speculation. Use a real example of something like this happening. Otherwise it is just as relevant as my last weeks DND game.

Techbros in Ireland would shit blood if Trump followed through on bringing Tech firms back to America. I think the Pharma sector would actually be okay if badly shaken and chaotic for a while. Ireland has lot of pharmaceutical firms. Maybe if all the MNCs in Ireland fucked off then the Government couldn't afford to gift their property faggot friends millions in dumping rapefugees into towns so boomers gracelessly expire with high property valuations.

 

[The Ugly One]

If you don't like the arrangement, you can leave.

The US Constitution nowhere establishes an obligation for the American people to provide for the common defense or promote the general welfare of Europe, Africa, Latin America, or Southeast Asia. If we don't like this particular arrangement, what it provides to the people is a means of electing a new government.

This isn't North Korea. Considering how few countries directly fuck with the US than, say, Uganda, I think the results are demonstrable. You can be born in West Bumfuck, Oklahoma and have a nice life. The same cannot be said for all the poor bastards born in China, or India, or Senegal.

Sucks to be them. They can water the tree of liberty with their own blood if they'd like it to grow.

Was talking to my dad today about Operation Wetback 2.0 and found out he knows that his gardeners are illegals but won't report them because "they have families and kids here." Boomers, I swear to God.

Also lmao almost 800 pages already.

Edit: yes everyone, I reported them myself since he wouldn't

Which is why it boggled my mind that my government agreed to increase corporate tax from 12.5% to 15%. It seemed insignificant at the time because they were so sure a Democrat would be the next POTUS.
Our government deserves it, but our workers don't. Not to get too into PL stuff, but I work for Analog Devices (American semiconductor company) so we could be hit hard by Trump's recall on semiconductors and decreases in corporate taxes.

Once we get the lib problem under control and the iron dome complete we can use Elons satellites to beam down forbidden American ideals upon the world. There is nothing they can do to stop us!

As far as I know they could've had their families in Mexico too.

Assuming this remains the floor for number of daily apprehensions/deportations for the rest of Trump's term in office. He will have deported 2,657,160 illegal aliens. An improvement of 463,130 illegals over my previous estimate. However, since the change in policy is only a week and a half old, I expect ICE to only be ramping up operations in size. I wouldn't be surprised to see figures as high as 3,000 daily a/ds by mid February given the current increase of a hundred a day. At which point Trump will have deported 4,305,000 plus all previous deportees by the end of his term.

Tell your dad not to worry, they'll deport the family too.

Real fucking easy to say you're helping by not reporting them, whole other thing entirely when asked to put some skin in the game, isn't it?

I'm thinking more along the lines 6 million by the end of his term.

 

[The Man With No Name]

I am so fucking erect right now. You guys have no idea. I've been saying for years that I wanted to send all these fucks to Guantanamo Bay and let them rot. Everyone said I was crazy. Nobody agreed with me. I wanted it so bad. I wanted it SO SO BAD. But fuck Charlie and his golden ticket, sometimes wanting it more than anything else, really is enough!!!!!

Understandable - I don't want them sitting at one of our prisons or bases, or really anywhere though. I think the correct solution is to keep deporting them, regardless of nation of origin, to Mexico.

Mexico facilitated the invasion so they can now deal with the consequences. If Mexico begins refusing, we send them anyway. If Mexico wants to detain or kill them, they can do so. Really open up the world's eyes as to what these people are and how it feels to deal with them.

JoCo is Lawrence, right? There's no fixing it as long as KU is there. The whole town needs to be wiped out.

If we were on the Battletech timeline we'd only need to wait about 750 years for the city to be destroyed by big stompy robots in the last battle of the Star League Civil War.

It's not really speculation. Healthcare has scarcity and surpluses just like any other good.

I'll pull a specific example we can go through so I'm not shirking your questions point.

https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/waiting-times-for-health-services_242e3c8c-en/full-report/component-4.html#section-d1e414

The median waiting times for a knee replacement ranged from about 50 days or less in Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands, to 460 days (about 15 months) in Estonia and 840 days (about 28 months) in Chile.

Should surgeons in Chile be forced to work more hours so that the waiting time isn't 840 days?

 

[Harvey Danger]

Come on guys. I want enough people gone that I never hear "Para Español, marque dos" again.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

You have a duty to report them. Fuck if you wont, then give us their info and we will report them.
