All one can do is the poll those who are in the know. If you stay away, your opinion doesn't count. Haven't you learned anything from the last election?
Vote at the polls, not on anonymous internet message boards...

100% of the people who didn't watch it would never say they approve of anything Trump would do or say.
Happy now?

However, I do aspire to places like Sweden and other European nations that have healthcare for all (and private insurance if you still want it), a living wage, paid vacation time ( I think 6 weeks is aspirational but more than what we get would be a start https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/05/here...ker-gets-.html), extended maternity leave, state provided child care, excellent universities that cost nothing to attend, retirement benefits you can actually live on, a society that takes care of its environment.
Population of Sweden: less than 10 million or about the same size as the state of Michigan.
Population of US: 326 million.
You can have retirement benefits like Sweden if you are willing to have 18.5% of your income go into a pension system. That's only 12.3% more than what you are currently contributing to SS now.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostJust a bit of trivia on Sweden. Sweden’s fertility rate fell from 2.21 to 1.29 between 1950 and 2000. During that same period life expectancy at birth rose by 8 years for males and 10 years for females changing population dynamics from a pyramid to a pillar shape creating major problems for the Swedish government. This low birth rate will translate to a lower living standards for many Swedes. Increases in both population and birth rate (currently 1.79, which is still below the number of births, 2.1, required to just replace the current population) have mainly been attributed to immigration from Muslim countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. That too has caused problems for the Swedish government.
Sweden is not the socialist utopia libs like to believe it is.

For comparison purposes, since their populations are about the same, Michigan has 198 universities, colleges, community colleges, and trade schools.
It would be interesting to know the comparison in pay for college professors in Sweden's free colleges as compared to the US. Pretty sure no Swedish professor is making what Liz Warren was making to teach one class at Harvard.

NANCY PELOSI: "It will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive. The green dream or whatever they call it, nobody knows what it is, but they're for it right?"

While the trolls tell you “vote at the polls “ rather than actual voting booths all true Americans should be chilled by what Richard burr , not only a Republican Senator but up until oct 2016 part of trumps national security team , just had to say ...he chairs Senate Intel ...
“[Burr] acknowledges now that the investigation is broader, and perhaps more consequential, than it has long been thought to be."
“What extended the life of the [Senate] investigation...is a better understanding of...how coordinated and organized the effort was."

Too funny. Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax has hired the same lawyers retained by Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser has hired the same legal team who represented Christine Blasey Ford.

Nancy Pelosi says a kitchen worker recently told her, "'When the president says that the Mueller investigation is going on too long, you just say back to him, Not as long as your tax audit, Mr. President.' I thought those were words of wisdom."
