From the Third Democrat Debate"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Just for laughs I turned on the debate for about a half hour.\u00a0 The free for all was shrieking about healthcare.\u00a0 Every single one of the maniacs was jabbering about how his plan was better than their plans because their plans would leave millions dying from scurvy while his plan would guarantee eternal life and youth.\u00a0 And most of them took the opportunity to kick poor old Creepy Joe in the in the family jewels for some especially awful shortcomings in his version of Medicare for all.\u00a0 One especially bitter moment for Joe was when Yang called him out on some defect in his plan.\u00a0 Joe answered that the defect didn&#8217;t exist but Yang countered that just minutes before Joe has sworn the opposite was true.\u00a0 Poor Joe.\u00a0 Somehow Obamacare wasn&#8217;t Barack&#8217;s fault but instead Joe&#8217;s.\u00a0 Pretty remarkable.<\/p>\n<p>The other section had to do with criminal justice.\u00a0 Every candidate wanted to empty the prisons and use some kind of reparations bill to pay back criminals for being criminals.\u00a0 The only criminals they didn&#8217;t like were white supremacists.\u00a0 They apparently are the only real criminals in America.\u00a0 And the reparations for African Americans cannot be big enough.\u00a0 Apparently it will be an endless river of money that will never come close to solving the problem but it must be done anyway.\u00a0 And the clowns all agreed that Donald Trump is indeed a white supremacist, racist, really, really bad guy.<\/p>\n<p>At that point I thought I&#8217;d seen enough.\u00a0 My only real hope is that all this is recorded for later use by the President&#8217;s re-election committee.\u00a0 There were a thousand moments when any and all of those imbeciles made themselves transparently unfit to lead this country.\u00a0 Their policies are impossible to implement from either a financial or a constitutional point of view and even if these policies could be enacted a majority of Americans will recognize them as at best unfair and at worst insane.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it.\u00a0 They want to empty the prisons.\u00a0 What will that do to the &#8216;hood?\u00a0 They want to provide universal healthcare.\u00a0 Wasn&#8217;t that Obamacare?\u00a0 Won&#8217;t this just be more degradation of the existing private system to spread the bad coverage that Obamacare already gave us?\u00a0 And reparations.\u00a0 We&#8217;re going to give trillions of dollars to one group of people, who for the last fifty years have been the recipients of affirmative action which allegedly isn&#8217;t enough, and we&#8217;ll obtain those trillions by taking them from people, most of whose ancestors weren&#8217;t even in America when slavery existed.\u00a0 Would you vote for someone promising that?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how many more debates there are but by the last one the candidates will be down to promising to burn the country to the ground just to make sure that everyone is absolutely equally miserable.\u00a0 These folks are literally insane.\u00a0 I&#8217;m guessing this should put an end to their 2020 hopes.\u00a0 Either that or I&#8217;m crazy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7742\"
