@robertumbenga3195 Put aside protests/riots. Put aside immigration/jobs. Put aside LGBT/women's rights. Put aside guns. And you are still left with an authoritarian Trump government that is willing to ignore the constitution and all rule of law; a government that has allowed 200,000 citizens to die, a government that is willing to punish the citizens of entire states, because 51% of them voted for someone else, a man that is willing to withhold lifesaving aid from 10s of millions, and steals it to auction back to you, a man who lies as a matter of daily course and who NEVER accepts responsibility for his failures, and a GOP senate so craven in the face of Trump's fascist authoritarianism that it says NOTHING when he blatantly destroys America.
The staggeringly immense levels of moronity by people like you truly bewilders me. How can you be so blind and short-shighted? Do you not see that this is everything that you claim to care about? Do you not see that you are going to die in hundreds of thousands because of this actual fascist who thinkks he's doing a perfect job? Do you not see that YOU fuckwits are already dying in your thousands? You whine about the fascism of wearing a mask while an ACTUAL fascist pisses all over the consitution and you do NOTHING. You handed in your balls along with your brains the second he ran, and every one of you fuckwits should hang their heads in abject shame, but like a dog wallowing in it own shit, you're too stupid to realise what you have done to yourselves. If every democrat left America today, there would be NOBODY left to fight for you retards, but you'd probably blame the Jews or Soros or Bill Gates as you die and your shithole country rots around you. You are the joke of the planet and the sooner you are all dead, the better off for the planet. You utterly disgust me.

@justtubingby129 I don't argue that women; preganant or not, are incapable of bursts of incredible strength, but to suggest that they are at their strongest when pregnant and their hormones and energy levels are all over the places, they are carrying up to 10 pounds of extra weight, they randomly feel sick, have water retention, back aches, trouble defecating, and their mood swings are maximised, is simply preposterous. I realise that it may pander to your ego to delude yourself about this "strong woman" figure that you've fantasised, but it is not true and you should be the first one to get an education in basic human biology.
None of which is to demean women in the slightest, but facts don't care about feelings.

@maxwattage6631 You're asking a question with a point. To me, you seem to be implying that nothing Trump does actually affects ordinary people's lives. 170k dead covid victims, millions out of work and starving, dead kids at the border, catastrophic climate change, billions given to the wealthy, and much much more - all affect the world we live in.
Trump CLEARLY is interested in playing golf, being fawned over, and pretending to be a leader, but as his bone spurs excuse showed, when the going gets tough, he runs away and hides.

Mike, I live in the UK and have had extensive interaction personally and via my friends with our national healthcare system over the past 10 years, and let me tell you, it's complete dogshit. Massive waits for treatment (if you ever receive it), rushed doctor consultations, incompetent care, doctors with a massive lack of professionalism or compassion, misprescription of pharmaceuticals, arbitrary charges for "free" care, death panels, hospitals infected with legionairres and MRSA, and much, much more.
One of my closest friends, his wife, mother, and newborn son all interacted with the NHS, as well as another close friend, my mother, and myself, and I would describe our experiences as an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. My former best friend died at age 37 thanks to the misprescription of an anti depression drug which caused a known interaction with another medication he was receiving, which lead to kidney failure. Another diabetic close friend has just suffered two weeks of abject misery as a new medication was prescribed to him at twice the recommended staty dosage, leading to vomiting, weakness and an inability to hold any food down. And don't even get me started on the shitshow of my friend whose minor sporting injury morphed into 6 weeks in hospital fighting to save his arm thanks to infections that he received IN HOSPITAL.
You could only be saying what you are saying about us if you had never personally interacted with our system.
That said, yes, there is a chance that if you get something serious, you will be treated in time and not die from it, and if the treatment is expensive, you will not be bankrupted by medical costs. Also, if I call an ambulance, it turns up quickly, crewed by caring staff, and they don't have to ask whether or not you're insured before taking you to hospital.
During the pandemic, many excellent staff are risking their lives to provide free and compassionate support, and far too many of them have actually lost their lives doing so due to an inadequate supply of PPE. However, the only way to receive consistently decent care in the UK, is if you are wealthy enough to afford private care, when you will get to jump the queues in state hospitals, or have access to private facilities.
