Based of Blackie’s comment of >>440268, I did a quick edit of the original.

Agreed. XD
Me?
I’m just siting on my lazy couch, drinking some low fat milk in my favourite cup, playing games I may or may not have pirated from, at the same time watching the Hobbit in Fox Movies.
(notice american politic debate)
If you need me,i’ll be lurking on Fluttershy pictures
They are more mature than Congress!
We’re not on the same side on this issue, but at least you’re paying attention enough to come up with something a little more plausible.
@Background Pony
Yeah, that’s not how you spell “spite”.
Obama was re-elected, the Affordable Care Act was passed prior to that as a compromise in the first place, and it already went to the courts.
Republicans in the Congress are full of spite, not greed; at least not in this particular battle.
Right. Republicans are doing this out of greed.
That’s such total B.S., it doesn’t stand up to even the slightest test of reason.
I don’t support that idea. Violence only leads to more violence. The best thing to do is to fight the oppression and ideology itself, rather than those who practice and covet it.
Alas, such fantasies will likely remain such.

What if said action against the corrupt congressmen is not voting turnouts but planned killings by angry rouge soldiers and civilians??
>short-sighted fool
Too bad that describes most of the human race. Good luck on finding one of the few good ones, they’re spread pretty thin.
Once Brazil gets somebody who isn’t a short-sighted fool in the Siamese Towers, we’ll get pretty close to being a 1st World Country.
Well, when the rest of the neighborhood wants to burn that house down because it hangs the wrong Winter decorations…
“Leaving the neighborhood” whilst slipping a few dollars to the one richer nation in the Middle East: Israel.
Totally didn’t come here from /pol/.
Easy. China will bring a less expensive ball. A good chunk of Africa already like China, due to their increased investment and aid in contrast to the U.S.‘s declining support.
It’s a BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) future, I tells ya.
Yeah, and I think it’s about time to quit the neighborhood watch and stop bringing the whole potluck until our house is in order. Let someone else take the reins for awhile. Though most countries seem reluctant to step up already. I’d like to see how the softball game goes when the US takes it’s ball and goes home.
NO other coutry has dept border like the USA too. Normally you just say when it is at a peek you just rise it again. And a few years again and again and again. Maybee you really need to make less national debt. and make a payback.
Because it is quite ridiculous, the $ is world’s Reserve currency, but your banks and governent just print more if it needs more. Not many countraies have these kind of power.
But it is an obvious bubble, and some day it will burst. And at the moment bursting day i the 17th of October. But I don’t think it would happen just now. If it would, the $ wouldn’t exist any more, (not as Reserve Money anyway) you would need a big Debt relief or Cut. And that would be a big change. maybe the change Obama promised?
While in office, yes. But before Clinton, ex-Presidents tended to largely retire from public life. They were never poor (the pension alone is almost $200,000), and they got free staff, free bodyguards, free office space, free medical care permanent Secret Service details (which Clinton reduced to 10 year details for subsequent presidents – he himself kept his permanent detail at public expense while denying it to others – while Bush kept his detail to 10 years post-service, and Obama subsequently restored it to lifetime details), etc.
After leaving office, Nixon and Ford essentially vanished, Carter became a spokesperson for Habitat for Humanity (a very legitimate charity), Reagan vanished from the public eye largely due to dementia, and GHW Bush retired to volunteer quietly for a number of charities. Clinton in contrast continued in active politics, almost certainly selling his wife’s influence as Secretary of State to make money for both of them, and running “charitable” foundations that paid the two of them a fortune as CEOs, while operating deep in the red under their inexplicably expensive leadership. While every other president since at least the dawn of television sold their influence for campaign funds while in office, no other ex-president ever milked the office for money afterwards the way Clinton did. Nixon even relinquished his lifetime Secret Service detail almost a decade before he died. I for one would not want to do anything in a way that made Nixon more noble than me, but I guess Clinton’s mileage varies.
Damn, America, you just keep doing these sorts of things to yourselves. Are you trying to get our attention? Is it because you’re a hormonal and emotional 237-year-old country?
I see what you did there.
Presidents using the influence that comes with their office to line their pockets goes back well before Clinton. Fortunately, the American tradition of free press tends to put a brake on the worst abuses, since the opposition party is always sniffing about for ammunition to use in the next campaign.
