  1. Let the conspiracy theories fly. No pun intended.
  2. 15 missiles...no significant targets hit. Oops. When the attacked Saudi's oil refinery they were very accurate.

    They let all govt employees off for 3 days. Most of the protest/funeral was them.
  4. Don't need to retaliate if nobody was hurt. Let them have this "retaliation." If thier missiles were any good and don't hit much the intention was never for them to.
  5. They are attacking bases in sunni and kurdish territory. There are much larger bases closer to Iran that would be easier to hit. Take that for what you will.
  6. Huh? I don't maybe either. How are those 2 points propaganda?
  7. 1. If they don't hit anything what does that say about thier capabilities. 2. If they don't hit anything were they even trying.
  8. Not so sure about that in any case they did them before we killed the guy
  9. Let em waste couple hundred million on hitting sand and thinking they have retaliated.
  10. Amazing we didn't get hurt more/worse than we did.
  11. To calculate the difference in administrative costs between the U.S. and Canadian systems, Himmelstein and colleagues examined Medicare filings made by hospitals and nursing homes. For physicians, the researchers used information from surveys and census data on employment and wages to estimate costs. The Canadian data came from the Canadian Institute for Health Information and an insurance trade association. When the researchers broke down the 2017 per-capita health administration costs in both countries, they found that insurer overhead accounted for $844 in the U.S. versus $146 in Canada; hospital administration was $933 versus $196; nursing home, home care and hospice administration was $255 versus $123; and physicians’ insurance-related costs were $465 versus $87 Medicare is partially administered by outside agencies First, other government agencies help administer the Medicare program. The Internal Revenue Service collects the taxes that fund the program; the Social Security Administration helps collect some of the premiums paid by beneficiaries (which are deducted from Social Security checks); the Department of Health and Human Services helps to manage accounting, auditing, and fraud issues and pays for marketing costs, building costs, and more. Private insurers obviously don't have this kind of outside or off-budget help. Medicare's administration is also tax-exempt, whereas insurers must pay state excise taxes on the premiums they charge; the tax is counted as an administrative cost. In addition, Medicare's massive size leads to economies of scale that private insurers could also achieve, if not exceed, were they equally large.
  12. He's got suits against more than just them.
  13. Thought they were removing Trump for matters of National Security.....oh wait. Petty. Is that what you call wanting the President impeached and working on it the day after the election? Trump is protecting National Security by keeping the libtards out of it. They would just pass it on to Kerry and he'd go running to Iran. The POTUS is commander in chief and does not legally need to notify the "gang of eight. Can you honestly claim with a straight face the left won't somehow try and use this or ANYTHING for that matter against Trump? If you think that you haven't been paying very much attention the past 4+ years.
  14. No. I was saying the Senate should handle it like the house did.....completely biased. Good for the goose jimmy.
