Just to bring Dinochat (Lat. "terrible chat") back around full circle, remember that Mike Pence is a Young Earth Creationist.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:I'd heard of young earth creationism but I guess I just assumed they ignored dinosaurs. How deep does it go? Like do they have biblical explanations for why all the north american megafauna shrank down so fast? Was Jesus swatting arthropleura* with his sandals or was that more of an old testament thing? Yo, thanks for linking that picture. I made the mistake of clicking on it and  Not a fan of megafauna, here. Especially when it has that many legs.

Furnaceface posted:Can someone please educate my dumb Canadian rear end why supporting UHC is seen as the devil to so many Americans? Because some of that tax money might go to some worthless poors and black people, and we won't abide by that. I'm not supporting no freeloaders, no sir, gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps and pay for your own healthcare or get out of medical debts on your own like a real independent and hard-working American. If you don't like how expensive your healthcare is, find a different provider or insurer. It's like ordering from an expensive restaurant, just choose a cheaper one if you can't afford it.  I literally heard a GOP state legislative assistant straight up tell me that last part verbatim when I was lobbying the Ohio legislature to approve the Medicaid expansion in 2014.  Healthcare is seen as a luxury good to be bought and sold on the free market and not as a fundamental human right to these people. On a more societal level, universal healthcare brings into question our collective national mythos of the archetypal self-made American man.

All right, so I don't want to read 100 pages of this thread. I just want to know if I've missed anything: 1. Donald Trump got outed on a live mic as a pervert and general victimizer of women. 2. Most but not all Republicans are running as hard as they can away from him, denouncing him, telling him to drop out, what have you. 3. Donald looks like he won't drop out. 4. Debate is coming up tomorrow. Shockwaves from the chaos dunk will be felt nationwide. 5. The Russians have finally been accused by the DHS of hacking voting systems. 6. The Russians responded poorly to this and have ramped up tensions. Anything else that I'm missing specifically?

JosefStalinator posted:The day he falls behind in the LA times poll is the day he truly loses. Keep in mind that Hillary was at 81% now. The polls shouldn't reflect anything for at least another five days. Then the debate. You could see him dip into single digits for winning. Low single digits. 400+ EV presidential/congressional blowout is possible if republicans stay home. edit: Tiny Brontosaurus posted:The GOP is moving money away from Donnie's campaign and into salvaging the downticket races, and Pence is telling the rumor mill he's thinking of dropping out, presumably to salvage his hopes of a 2020 run Thanks buddy. You're a great poster by the by and I often enjoy reading your posts.  Question: That Trump is thinking of dropping out or Pence? Also, if the money dries up and Donald has nothing left to skim from the RNC, what do you think the chances are that he points the finger at them? I'm not sure if a law and order candidate should encourage red on red violence.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Sure, that's perfectly scientifically sound. But do they ever talk about the pre-Ark people having to deal with this poo poo? Because they had two-foot long scorpions in prehistoric times. Seems like god could have made good use of that for plagues and smiting and such The Ark is the third story in the bible so pre-historic animals don't get much screen time. The story goes straight from "Adam and Eve did a bad thing" to "Cain did a bad thing" to "MANY YEARS LATER" and God is so sick of mankind's poo poo he decides to kill them all.

HarveyxCosmonaut posted:So many good answers already. I've had republican coworkers also claim that foreign UHC only works because our private system supports medical development. Essentially if the US goes socialist all medical developments would stop and healthcare would collapse because there would be no profit to support it. I've also heard some racist reasoning that UHC only works in places like Taiwan or Sweden because the population in those countries is so much more homogeneous than ours and so healthcare costs in America are unmitigatably high because we have different kinds of human anatomy to account for (  ).E: Strangely enough, I still got access to Taiwan's universal healthcare system and easily paid for a doctor visit out-of-pocket while I was staying in the country despite my inscrutably foreign and enigmatic Caucasian anatomy.

Countries with greater racial diversity are more opposed to public benefits in general. It's a legit reason why America can't have nice things, but as always the problem is people bein' dicks, not stormfront science
