Is America a joke now?

[ch33zw1z]

too much pot lol....good one.

FR, you deliver more lulz.

 

[IronWing]

Whoop dee fucking doo.

Right, so when will the British be leaving Ulster? Gibraltar? The Falklands?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

You want to know?,Ok , it means as-holes.

You want to know more,the Obama care is a copy of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro,that's why Obama/Hilary the Crook got so friendly with Cuba,also Obama/Hilary the crook are so friendly with Mexico Drug dealers and cartels that he gave pardon to a bunch of criminals that sold guns and drugs to our kids,that's why they had a high rate failure in school education too much pot,and has legalized drugs all over the country. What a bunch of F******* dam people these Libertarians/liberals are,you should be ashamed of yourselves loons

and the winner for the biggest word salad goes to frankie!
too much pot, eeesh. You may want to lay off the speed or meth or whatever drug makes you think this is a coherent sentence, let alone a coherent thought.

 

[FrankRamiro]

LOL! Are you a real person?

We've been a bit of a joke for a long time but now it's not even funny anymore. Trump winning was like finding out your big brother does cocaine and despite that he still gets to boss you around because he's older. It's a stupid reason he should get to be in charge, nonetheless those are the rules.

Yes damn ass i'm real, the facts that i mentioned are real and only ignorant damn asses like you do not see the truth ,cause the prove is all over the place, you F*****liberals/libertarian peace of garbage open your eyes,i know you f****** libertarians/liberals loons have drunk Clinton's family poison cool aid and got blind,one day somebody somehow we'll knock your had off and your brain will come to reality,meanwhile go to a near sanitarian and cure yourself, because you're gonna need it for the next 4 years or more, and long live Trump, go a head and prove to these garbage people,that you can make America great again.

Right, so when will the British be leaving Ulster? Gibraltar? The Falklands?

Alas, I have no say over that, but I do have opinions!

Britain should stick to Britain. 'Course, if vassal countries overwhelmingly want the British for some reason, can't say it would hurt. That being said, in the case of NI, I'd rather the British be the lawgivers, rather than the typical bigoted religious right being given control


Ulster: Quite frankly, I'd rather not have right wing Christians be given their own country. The last thing violent, homophobic bigots should be given, is their own territory. An example of Ireland's religious culture, is that abortion is illegal. Talk about criminalizing the wombs of women.

Thankfully, in Northern Ireland, the religious right aren't the only faction. There's a significant portion of the population that wants to be under Britain's progressive laws, rather than be under a primitive religion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland#Background


Gibraltar: They don't want the British to forfeit; the alternative being that Spain will rule them. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar_sovereignty_referendum,_1967 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibraltar_sovereignty_referendum,_2002 The citizens of Gibraltar also rejected joint ownership between Britain and Spain. Naturally, if the people of Gibraltar want to become their own independent country (a la Donbass), I would wholly support their endeavour for self sovereignty.


Falklands: Argentina wishes to be the ruler, and, well, that country's Government makes the US' look rather peachy. Corrupt as all hell, apparently. There's also the fact that Argentina doesn't give a damn about what the Falkland populace has to say; they want the Falklands, the people be damned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland_Islands_sovereignty_dispute#United_Kingdom

It should also be noted that the Falkland Islands have recently enacted a constitution, that gives the people self sovereignty over their land. I'd much rather that Britain just be the muscle behind them, to deter Argentina from having a wee fut of violent, rapacious imperialism. Let the people of the Falklands dictate their own laws.

Yes damn ass i'm real, the facts that i mentioned are real and only ignorant damn asses like you do not see the trueth ,cause the prove is all over the place you F*****liberals/libertarian peace of garbadge

Facts? L. O. L.
Hyperbole and conjecture is what you spew. And peace unto you garbadgeman.

 

[slag]

Well, no. Frankie Boyle did a rather good slaughtering of the US. https://youtu.be/lPTUqy1utdM?t=23

Easy way to sum it up:

"...This is a country of people, who not only don't have healthcare, they don't want healthcare, and they're angry if someone offers them healthcare."

That's so erroneously wrong, its laughable but I approach this argument from someone who has worked in some capacity since I was 14 (even through school) and has had my own insurance since 18.

We have healthcare, we want healthcare, but we (I) don't want to triple our rates to subsidize other people's healthcare. I have no problem helping out people who can't help themselves to an extent, but to double or triple my already high rates is absurd. There has to be a cap or some other measure in place.

You sure got that white man's burden shtick down pat, Kipling would be proud.

Triggered, party of one, your table is ready.



Re. the OP, it's not just that America has become a joke. America has become a bad example. It used to be that when peoples all over the world wanted better government, American was the shining example of how well democracy works. We are now an example of how badly it fails.

 

[MajinCry]

Yeah man, we should totally just let the motions, set by our forefathers, continue to oppress other societies. I mean, I didn't do it personally, so who gives a toss, let 'em suffer.

Or we could be decent people. The latter sounds better to me, but I guess that makes me a toe-sucking leftie.

 

[MovingTarget]

We aren't a complete joke yet, as some parts are still on backorder. Estimated arrival date of parts related to the punchline: January 20th, 2017.

 

[chucky2]

Hey, don't dis Sterno...

 

[sandorski]

America walks into a Bar and the Bartender says, "Go home America, you're drunk!"

...I got Bills to pay, folks!

 

[MooseNSquirrel]

America has been a joke after the F***** Liberals/libertarians Loons have been in Power for the last 8 years,

Hey, someone just had an erection!

 

[zinfamous]

Man, 2016 will go down as the year that the world's perpetually terrified conservatives yelled out in abject fear of the boogeymen at their doors, and dragged the world back down towards fascism and the nativist isolation of their safe spaces.

 

[HeXen]

Does America make you laugh funny man?

 

[woolfe9998]

Pretty much, yes.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Is America a joke? The two candidates were Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Regardless of which one won, nothing more needs to be said.

 

[kage69]

Yes America is a Joke right now. After January 20th that should change.

Agreed. Come Jan 20th we phase into bad joke territory.

 

[Muse]

Yes America is a Joke right now. After January 20th that should change.

At that point America is a howl.

 

[trenchfoot]

The world is laughing at us and I can't find fault with that at all. It's a nervous laugh though what with Trump talking of ramping up the nuclear arms race again, and his picking cabinet members that fervently hate the existence of the cabinets they're being asked to lead.

And that's just a smidgin, a teeny tiny little taste of whatever else the world can laugh at us about.

In fact, I have committed myself to do exactly what those folks who voted Trump into office have been doing since election night: celebrate the win and completely ignore the fact that they got quite foolishly fooled into voting for Trump, and painfully ignore the fact that the lies and falsehoods that Trump fooled them with with have already been completely exposed for what they are.

You bet'cha, I'm gonna completely ignore all of that just like Trump's supporters have been embarrassingly ignoring it, because I figured out that's the only possible way they can sleep at night, and surely, I deserve the same restful sleep they're getting.

It was all about the feel good win, and now, nothing else matters any more. These folks can luxuriate in that win and turn their backs on the nation they helped put in dire jeopardy because it wasn't their fault, it was Hillary's. That must feel sooooo bigly good, so I'm going to think just like they do. All it takes is for me to turn off all of those gajillions of synaptic receptors in my head and keep repeating the mantra "doesn't matter anymore....doesn't matter anymore..." just like they're doing.

Obamacare is a copy of Cuban healthcare?

You are seriously demented. They aren't even in the same ballpark. The Cuban system is a national healthcare system where the nation runs the whole show, employs all the doctors and everything below - Obamacare is a private insurance marketplace with some stipulations like not denying pre-conceived illnesses. It's like comparing asparagus to a ribeye steak. It's stupid. Coincidentally like you.

The sad fact is that dipshit loons like you dominated the airwaves this past election cycle, where a lot of people got their news, such as their FB feed. I saw all sorts of bullshit theories marched front and center like they had legitimacy.

Sad.

So you support single payer/universal coverage/government controlled health care?
