Trump is about as likely to become president as the united states is to adopt socialized healthcare within our lifetimes.

More gems. I'm endlessly amused that the frontrunner for the party of moral rectitude, family values and fiscal responsibility is a sleazy, amoral shyster with a somewhat creepy interest in women young enough to be (or actually are) his daughter.

some choice quotes

20. “I cherish women. I want to help women. I’m going to be able to do things for women that no other candidate would be able to do … ” (CNN, Aug. 9, 2015)

36. Women? “You have to treat ’em like shit.” (New York magazine, Nov. 9, 1992)

26. “She’s not giving me 100 percent. She’s giving me 84 percent, and 16 percent is going towards taking care of children.” (TIME, May 23, 2011)

34. “There’s nothing I love more than women, but they’re really a lot different than portrayed. They are far worse than men, far more aggressive … ” (The Art of the Comeback, 1997)

19. “I don’t have a racist bone in my body.” (“Entertainment Tonight,” July 1, 2015)

9. “I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it. The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day.” (USA Today, May 20, 1991)

10. “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” (Twitter, Nov. 6, 2012)

14. “The Mexican government forces many bad people into our country. Because they’re smart. They’re smarter than our leaders.” (NBC News, July 8, 2015)

17. “I’ll win the Latino vote because I’ll create jobs. I’ll create jobs and the Latinos will have jobs they didn’t have.” (NBC News, July 8, 2015)

Well, with Medicare and Medicaid already being things, one could certainly argue that that already qualifies as socialized healthcare.

Probably meant universal socialized.  Which isn't actually as far off as all that.

It used to be that insurance companies set the standards, acted as your agent and financially underwrote things.  Now the government sets the standards, both government and insurance company acts as your agent and the insurance underwrites things but the government underwrites the insurance underwriting.  Well what happens if they tighten up the system a little more?  Then the government will be acting as your agent because it's higher standards mean the insurance wont matter much in that regard.  And what if they clamp down on insurance profits just a little because the insurance companies aren't absorbing any risks?  Well then the government is basically just underwriting things directly.  So then insurance companies will be doing nothing but skimming off the top while the government does everything.  And when that happens, pretty soon someone is gonna figure out that just nationalizing the "collect profit" side of the industry would be pretty easy.

I think that's why the insurance companies hated this bill so much.  It didn't hurt their bottom lines.  It made their business a lot more efficient by having the government help them out.  And that's means that it makes it a lot easier to just replace them entirely.  When you are blood sucking leeches, that's terrifying.

Maybe we should have a Trump thread, and a sanitized, Ameripol thread were we can discuss serious stuff.

We just need Kim Kardashian to run for president, and the circle will be complete.
