So much is happening, but I wonder when we, as citizens, will feel the effects?

I think I need more context on guns for disabled social security recipients.

Nice country you have there

There is no longer such thing as a "moderate Republican" anymore. Nothing to suggest some tempered, reasoned argument to be made. The damage Republicans have managed to push in less than a fucking week will irreparably harm the country and the world. This is the Republican dream. It always has been, and you're fucking fooling yourself if you think you would have gotten any different with any GOP candidate.

Fuck the Republican party, fuck their supporters, and fuck everyone that passively "sat this one out" under some idiotic fucking notion that both parties were the same.

Well said. From now on "Republican" should be synonymous with Evil in the same way "Nazi" or "Communist" is. Except even communism works in theory.

the Republicans are basically the most dangerous group in world history. there needs to be an intervention, asap.

They all slipped up and were banned eventually.

Why were they banned?

"That's one thing about Republican Presidents. They never went in much for plans. They only had one plan. It says "Boys, my head is turned. Just get it while you can.""

Protip: The "both sides are the same" people aren't actually paying attention to any of this at all. They tune in once every 2-4 years just to get annoyed that their Facebook feed is full of politics and they get angry that they don't understand what's going on so they pretend to be better than everyone.

The need to feel "superior" is humanity's greatest weakness.

Oh, plenty of people listened. Means tested divisive claptrap that gave private corporate a free pass or a way out to keep screwing people over. Look at how well Obamacare played out - people being mandated by law to pay for health insurance with no mandate to make adequate care accessible, so you would have plans with $5000 premiums. And yet Obama goes around going "yeah, we have so and so many American insured," which is not the same thing as "access to care," and never was, and never will be.

Democrats never concerned themselves with getting to the root of the problem. Wonkish, "big data," overly complicated and needlessly divisive faux-meritocracy trash for policy, depressing the vote as they refused to listen to the average person's problems, and then liberalism acts all smug like they did nothing wrong as they lose time and time again, from 2010 to 2016. How the hell do you people not realize this "Party," if you can even call it that anymore with how much they've lost, is out of fucking touch?.

What a bunch of lies. The fact is, a public health system like other nations have would've solved all these problems. The republicans said no.

That depends on the citizens skin tone.

That depends on the citizens skin tone.

And what we're measuring? Im sure tons of people feel a lot of anxiety already.

I'd say the mongols under Khan were more dangerous, but the fact that there is potential to rate them up there is worrying enough.

We already are if you take the sharp uptick in uncertainty and polarization of the population into account. Nothing erodes trust in government and stability of civilization more than sudden negative change where leaders are at the heart of that effect.  Trump ascending to power and his whirlwind of decisions over the last week has not been a net positive.

The US wants to take Latin American countries crown as the most corrupt country in the continent? By all means, take it. Who knows? In a few years (or months) they can have the distinction of being officially a tax haven country.

Already done. Look up Delaware corporations and weep.

Some things never change.

I can't stand this "Bernie was cheated" tallking point anymore.

Somehow DNC were evil criminal masterminds when it came to the primaries, lol okay. Sorry but you got played by Wikileaks and 30 years of Republican talking points. But great job of further disillusioning millions of new voters.

It seems that 4 million vote lead HC had in the primary and her 3 million popular vote lead in the the election is all fraud

 

[Rhaknar]

this is so cartoonishly villanous I cant believe its actually happening
