The problem is a political mindset that excludes Brexit as a valid choice made by the most important polity: the people. Instead the opinions of elites are held as correct without any critical thinking. Democracy is a "problem" that we need to "fix". The dirty foreigners aren't the problem here. Surprise, the problem was ourselves the whole time.
It is the pride of every socialist to provide for the needy. California makes the most money; therefore it is appropriate that it contribute the most. You say they don't deserve it? I have heard that need determines where wealth should be distributed, and deserving's got nothing to do with it. Funny how that changes when it's your money, eh?
LOL blame the dirty foreigners. OK man. Sure. Keep fighting those imaginary commies in your head. Be sure to check under your bed for commies before going to sleep. They could be anywhere. And we used to ridicule right wingers for this exact same thing! LOL
Baha, the free press is remarkably incurious about the biggest political scandal since Watergate. Why isn't it on every front page? Because the media is a partisan force on the Democrats' side.
Are you part of some alternative reality where the NYT did not drop its last pretense of objectivity and come out as a fully partisan operative for the Hillary Clinton campaign? Because that happened. Infowars? They were one of the very very few with the true story of the election. Yup.
But taking money from the people is a good thing. You give them money, what are they going to spend it on? Oxy and meth? Those racist shitheads don't deserve it. Put their money in the government where it can do some good instead of their pockets where it will only do mischief.
Shouting "treason" isn't how you fight foreigners, it's how you delegitimize your political opponents. Sometimes they might be illegitimate traitors. But most of the time the traitor-shouters just want an excuse for getting rid of their political opponents. Domestic politics has limits. War doesn't.
If your opponents are traitors, you can spy on them, entrap them and imprison them. You can overturn elections, censor the press and take any measures you need to defend against a foreign threat.
To save us from $100K in Facebook ads and their own leaked emails, they had to eavesdrop on Trump officials, bring them up on charges and run an endless investigation of the President of the United States. Obama and Clinton supporters in the IRS, State, the FBI, the DOJ and the NSA broke a few rules. But they were protecting us from the Russian menace lurking in Trump Tower.
Just ask Putin. It's how he does it. It's how every dictatorship does it.
Waterboarding the mastermind of 9/11 is not "who we are as Americans". So said the politician whose regime spied on members of Congress, pro-Israel activists, reporters and the Trump team. But Muslim terrorists didn't represent a grave threat to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Republicans did.
Russia in America now serves the same function as America in Russia. It's a casus belli for delegitimizing the supporters of a free society as catspaws of foreign interests who must be suppressed.
That's a wonderful conspiracy theory you have for a website that hardly anyone reads any more. Face it, there are opposing opinions that you don't like and accusing them of being DIRTY FOREIGNERS is just a mental defense to avoid admitting that they might have a point.
Gosh, maybe that means people have different opinions than you? The resurgence of Russophobia is pretty recent, we put it away after we had a bad experience with it during the Cold War. People were seeing Russians under the bed and influencing things that they weren't doing. Kind of like today, eh?
That's no way to thank Obama who doubled the debt during his 8 years and spent the money on foreign wars. The world is a better, more stable place today because of his actions and his spending. Ungrateful jerk.
No friggen way. Their phones are OK but the other products made by Xiaomi are crap. Two of their fitness bands broke. Their external USB battery stopped charging. The folding USB key snapped in two. Xiaomi's non-phone products are garbage that breaks frequently.

Those Russians did everything! War with Russia now! Impeach Trump! Resistance!.
So the elderly who can't afford it get a break, while people who can easily afford it get charged more. Sounds like a socialist success story to me.
Did you miss the part where they're optional paid add-ons? It's literally in the text you quoted. Don't want it, don't pay. Jesus people.
Funny how your deeply held socialist principles about redistributing wealth suddenly are reversed when it's *your* money being given away.
Not driving the elderly out onto the streets with punitive taxes sounds like a good idea. I wonder if maybe that's why they did it?

So Obama didn't start wars in Libya and Syria and crush Egypt's government. OK man. Those dirty republicans, is there anything they can't do?

It's just bizarre to see educated people jump wholeheartedly into the "blame the dirty foreigners" narrative.

If the plan succeeds, Trump will look good. That's an intolerable situation for our media. They hate his guts and wish him dead.
The DNC rigged the primary to put up literally the only person in the US who could lose against Donald Trump.

I thought George W. Bush and Cheney and the other neo-con globalists were all good guys now in the Age of Trump? What happened here?
Wow, this is breathtakingly ignorant. You realize most people are in one time zone and don't have these problems? You don't, do you?
Balderdash, the Parliament represents the views of the people of Europe and none who hold democracy dear would fail to implement its decisions.

Bill and Hillary Clinton already rented out the bedrooms at the White House. You're too late. It's not an original idea.

They made those planes out of wood because they didn't have enough metal.
