    AHCA vote has been delayed again. Guessing Ryan didn't have enough votes.

    Even my Probably Hunts Poor People for Fun Representative who supported the original AHCA is ambivalent about this one.

    I think the Democrats' threat to renege on the shutdown deal is enough to prevent a vote for the time being. If Democrats block that, the government shuts down just in time for the 100 days marker.

    "I loved my previous life. I had so many things going," Trump told Reuters in an interview. "This is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier."

    ...

    More than five months after his victory and two days shy of the 100-day mark of his presidency, the election is still on Trump's mind. Midway through a discussion about Chinese President Xi Jinping, the president paused to hand out copies of what he said were the latest figures from the 2016 electoral map.

    "Here, you can take that, that's the final map of the numbers," the Republican president said from his desk in the Oval Office, handing out maps of the United States with areas he won marked in red. "It’s pretty good, right? The red is obviously us."

    He had copies for each of the three Reuters reporters in the room.



    This is reality.

    Surprised I'm not as stabby as Tracy, who is 7% more stabby than I.

    Also sorta surprised I'm not more authoritarian considering I grew up under "shut up and sit down or I'll smack you" rules.

    Also disappointed I'm not more of a commie, but I'm pretty sure I know what answers I came up short on.

    [​IMG]

    I gave a lot of neutral answers, though.

    I kinda feel like these are pointless for most of us, we know where we stand.

    I think he thought it was going to be like running The Apprentice.

    The 45 Show. Tune in at 9 to see how he's making America great again or something.

    I would have laughed so hard if one of the reporters said, "Sir, we've had this information since November."

    In the same interview he also said that he is going to demand South Korea pay $1 billion for the THAAD system. The missile defence system that South Korea allowed America to set up before their election in a couple of weeks because of the Trump administration's provocative stance towards North Korea.

    Trump's turning into Doctor Evil.

    Yes, it's a stupid test. Yes the result will surprise nobody, really.

    EDIT: Erm ok, the image has gone. I'm a dirty centrist actual liberal, and not in the "so ideologically tepid as to wonder why they bother" sense

    Yes. My results are inexplicably invisible too, and also just so happen to be perfect for self-justifaction and giving me all the credibility I desperately want to have. You'd be so amazed by them. Also it says I am more British than people actually born in the U.K.

    Believe me.-

    Doctor Evil would be insulted by being compared to Trump.

    So if I'm understanding this correctly, the US persuaded the South-Korean government to allow this, and now Trump is demanding payment for it?

    Apparently I'm "centrist", whatever that means.

    These kind of quizzes annoy me because everything is oversimplified. On so many of those issues, there are nuances, details, and multiple aspects that are glossed over, and any of those could change the answer. This kind of test should be an essay, not multiple choice.

    gun to your head and you had to make choice between 2 of the most extreme countries on opposite sides of the authoritarian government issue to move your family.
    1. North Korea(country with total government control)
    2.Somalia(country with basically no government control)
    If I had to choose it would be North Korea, I'm not endorsing it's government because I think it sucks, but I think too little government control is more dangerous than to much.
