"Now because this is a life or death emergency, I'll need payment up front".

America is really backwards when it comes to healthcare, $3000 for an ambulance is utterly ridiculous.

$3000 for an ambulance isn't just wrong, its evil.

America has no excuse for this, morally bankrupt.

Yet the Republican Party has done nothing to combat it because this benefits them. Party over country. Bunch of traitors.

Trumps personal lawyer Michael Cohen has reached agreement on a plea deal. In doing so, he's directly implicated trump as a non indicted co conspirator in relation to campaign finance fraud by paying off a porn star and another woman for their silence. All while using campaign donations.

On the same day, trumps former campaign manager has pled guilty to 8 counts of tax and bank fraud.

This is the beginning of the end of trumps presidency. It'll take a while yet but these are two massive pieces to the puzzle.

The next in line is trump jr and the rest of his immediate family and then the man himself.

Trump fanboys are on life support right now..

If Trump gets impeached, it will be worse here in the states. Cause that will mean Mike Pence takes over, and he literally believes that a man was made from dirt, a woman from a mans rib, and that noahs ark is real. He wants to teach creationism in public schools and make us all even more ignorant and stupid than we already get labeled for. We'll be a theocracy before you know it.

Not a Trump Fanboy but you could do with a bit of a history lesson .... of course it might be different this time but don't bet on it ....

The Justice Department investigation into Reagan over the Iran-Contra scandal began with Reagan in office - Handwritten notes taken by Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger on December 7, 1985, indicate that Reagan was aware of potential hostage transfers with Iran, as well as the sale of Hawk and TOW missiles to "moderate elements" within that country. Weinberger wrote that Reagan admitted that 'he could answer to charges of illegality but couldn't answer to the charge that he couldn't pass up a chance to free the hostages'. The investigation was impeded when large volumes of documents relating to the scandal were destroyed or withheld from investigators by Reagan administration officials ....

SEVEN YEARS LATER ... Reagan was never charged .... Casper Weinberger was pardoned by George Bush before his trial and three other leading figures also recieved pardons ....

Think it's just the Reps that do this? think again .......

Before Clinton even ran for President the Whitewater controversy led to a Justice Department investigation, there was so much information that Starr drafted an impeachment referral to the House of Representatives in the fall of 1997, alleging that there was "substantial and credible evidence" that Bill Clinton had committed perjury regarding Hale's allegations.

NINE YEARS AFTER THE INVESTIGATION BEGAN ... Clinton was never charged ... Susan McDougal: Clinton political supporter (multiple frauds). Bill Clinton pardoned - Chris Wade: Whitewater real estate broker (multiple loan fraud). Bill Clinton pardoned - Robert W. Palmer: Madison appraiser (conspiracy). Bill Clinton pardoned - Stephen Smith: former Governor Clinton aide (conspiracy to misapply funds). Bill Clinton pardoned.

So whilst this might be the 'beginning of the end' history suggests it will drag out for many, many years, and ultimately much nothing will happen, remember in the USA the rules don't apply to the rich and famous .....

Yes, absolutely horrible thing when you believe in antiquated beliefs more so than modern science.


And what about the REAL Theocracies in the middle east or other parts of the world? How they doing? Not very good is the answer.

OMG it's almost comical if it weren't true.

This (US) is a secular nation, with the freedom to practice any religion you want or none at all. But when these idiots try to argue their points about religion, it's always Christianity, yet they will quickly point out our founding fathers, or the constitution itself when arguing about guns or other issues, but conveniently forget about it when it comes to religion. I mean these people want to teach our kids that humans walked with dinosaurs all because they think it's referenced in an ancient book written by idiots.

Yours is not a secular nation. How many publicly declared non religious congressmen / senators do you have?

I for one will be relieved the day Trump is out of office.

Its been an absolute circus so god know's what its like for Americans.

He can't even fall back on doing half if that, any of the things he said he would .......... unless you count trying to ban muslims from entering the country, what a legacy.

Equally p*ssed off with Brexit to be fair, we either need to do it or don't do it, this middle ground arguing is just BS and not good for the country.

The West is in a right mess politically.
