Correctly predicted Portugal to win Euro 2016
Depending how long before they find a vaccine the economy will tank worldwide.
I'd guess the majority are not even paying attentionThe people in the room have hearts of stone. How someone doesn't burst out laughing is beyond me.
I wonder why the dude told Trump they can eliminate HIV in 9 years, that's just absurd.
I'm going to guess he wanted to move on and get out of there as soon as possible.
At the same time, the United States will immediately and substantially reinforce the Taliban by seeking the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners by March 20. Even worse, the United States further agreed to a goal of “releasing all remaining prisoners over the course of the subsequent three months.” It will do this at the same time that it commits to the “goal” of removing sanctions from members of the Taliban that include travel bans, asset freezes, and an arms embargo.
The combination of the planned American retreat and the planned prisoner release would represent a substantial change in the balance of forces in Afghanistan. This would come without any agreement by the Taliban to cease hostilities against our allies.
At this point, the deal looks worse than a simple withdrawal. America can leave all on its own without also agreeing to seek the release of Taliban prisoners. It can leave all on its own without promising to ease sanctions. So why agree to the additional concessions?
Man I am certain at this point even the newbies know you are leaving the USAs I'm preparing to leave US for good, this thread has been a cathartic experience for the last four years. We have raged, ridiculed and laughed with sheer helplessness as a group in this thread and I'm thankful for the medicine. Three more fecking months

I wish to make a declaration....Man I am certain at this point even the newbies know you are leaving the US
During a Fox News town hall Thursday night, President Donald Trump finally admitted what many have long feared — that he plans to push for serious cuts to entitlements, which includes Social Security and Medicare.
Of course, Trump has already admitted this in his budgets, even though he promised not to cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid. (Trump has entirely dropped any pretense about seeking to cut Medicaid, which provides health insurance to people with low incomes.) In a recent interview, Trump also suggested that he intended to slash entitlements, though his phrasing was unclear, and it wasn’t obvious he understood the question. Later, he tried to walk this back after an outcry.
"Trump: The economy is the best economy we’ve ever had; it’s nothing compared to what it’s going to be when the trade deals kick it.
Host: But if you don’t cut something in entitlements, you’ll never really deal with the debt.
Trump: Oh, we’ll be cutting, but we’ll also have growth like you’ve never had before".
Now, there are a few things to notice here. First, observers fear that the economy is in serious peril because of the coronavirus outbreak. Second, Trump’s claims about the trade deals “kicking in” are completely bogus. No credible economists are predicting any significantly positive impacts from the minor changes Trump has made to existing trade deals. Third, Trump has already made ostentatious predictions about sky-high growth because of the 2017 GOP tax cuts and his administration’s deregulatory efforts, but these predictions have been consistently belied by a middling reality. He always wants to claim there’s something better just around the corner, like any con man.
On the topic of entitlement cuts, critics will likely point out that Trump is here committing to break a promise he’s made countless times. But the odd thing is that Trump knows cutting Social Security would be hard, and he knows there’s no political benefit to doing it — that’s why he pledged to protect the beloved program.
So why did Trump admit to wanting to cut it? His answer reveals his truly staggering level of suggestibility — at least around people he believes are his allies. When he hears it asserted that entitlements have to be cut, he wants to agree. This type of reaction bolsters much reporting indicating that Trump often agrees on a matter of policy with the last person who’s in the room with him. It also reflects his insecurity; he’s often not informed or confident enough in his own positions to adequately defend them, especially on technical matters like the national debt, so he’ll just concede the point.
Which should, of course, worry us at least as much as someone who is deeply committed to slashing entitlements. It means, as we’ve seen, that Trump is easily manipulated. And that’s a precarious trait for a president to possess.
I wish to make a declaration....
I bet the miracle drug is actually two bullets to the back of the skull.Psh! Kim Jong-un is way ahead of him:
Kim Jong-un and Korean scientists formulated a miracle drug, according to Newsweek – a combination of ginseng and “rare earth elements” that, with one injection, can cure or treat Aids, Ebola, many cancers, heart disease, impotence, the common cold, “harm from use of computers”, epilepsy, all forms of hepatitis, venereal disease and ageing. It also, for some reason, renders its users “anti-radioactive.”
It sure looks like a Leslie Nielsen flick.If this was a movie, we'd be laughing out asses off. The man is amazing.
He doesn't want to infringe on the other supreme leader Kim.How long before he claims to have powers of healing?
