  1. I think if they had graffitied "traitors" instead of "racists" it would have more impact to the people who still support (or sympathize with) the Confederacy. Also call them losers. Because they were.
  2. I would support a steep VAT paired with a standard monthly dividend payment that covers the cost of the tax up to the poverty level. This makes the VAT progressive without too much bureaucracy and peering into people's financial lives. EDIT: The income tax would have to go away though.
  3. UBI would work the best with gutting the welfare state and eliminating the minimum wage. If you don't want to work, you wouldn't have to - those that choose to work would be rewarded with additional money via their job.
  4. Need to find an efficient way of piping this water from the Midwest and over the Rockies. Lake Mead is pretty low.
  5. Limited drone strikes could result in retaliation by Iran - like they would no shit start sinking oil tankers in the gulf and blocking the straights to not allow passage through.
  6. She will be fired within 2 hours by Trump.* *By Trump I mean she will be fired by Trump's (Acting) Chief of Staff. Subsequently, the (Acting) Chief of Staff will also become the (Acting) FEC chairman.
  7. She probably got fired instead of resigning.
  8. In 20 years the entire Anglo world will be United under the stars and stripes.
  9. Lol. I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves the party altogether. It would be great if runs for president as a libertarian and causes Trump to lose Michigan.
  10. Our suicide rate isn't much different than that of Western European countries and Canada, where gun ownership is much more restricted. Japan and South Korea lead the civilized world in suicides, despite gun ownership being practically non-existent.
  11. No, my position(s) are: Gang murders (which I would include the war on drugs) DO count, and they make up the majority of gun violence. Suicides do no count. Mass shootings do count, but they make up such a small percentage of overall gun violence that they are an insignificant contributor.
  12. Sorry, I guess I wasn't replying directly to your point, but more to the point that Trump is pushing (traditionally left) economic policies, and as far as I can tell, none of the Democratic candidates support Trump's world view on tariffs.
  13. It's better than before. FIGHT ME. https://theslot.jezebel.com/the-president-changed-his-hair-and-it-actually-looked-b-1835198419
  14. He's asking/telling the President of Mexico to become a dictator and prevent people in Mexico from crossing the border. Nothing says freedom like stationing your own military on the border to prevent your own citizens from crossing.
