Is there a joke in there?
Ok, that even hurt when I typed it
You mean that was some other well dressed group of rich white people being condescending towards black people and spouting liberal propaganda for three hours while telling each other how awesome they are?

They even used A black man as the mouth piece.
Chris Rock.... Isn't he that guy that was somewhat funny about a decade ago?

Quote:
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions endorsed Donald Trump for president on Sunday, leaving many of his conservative fans feeling bewildered and betrayed.
Sessions, considered one of the foremost conservatives in the Senate, is the first sitting senator to endorse Trump. He’s also been supportive of Ted Cruz, who has repeatedly publicly praised the senator. So when Sessions endorsed Trump on Sunday, it marked a major blow to the Cruz campaign, and some conservatives took their anger out on Sessions’ Facebook page, Vocativ’s deep web analysts discovered.
“So sad that you have thrown in with a phony conservative and con man,” Facebook user Cliffor Eike wrote on the senator’s Facebook wall. “The one Senator who stood with you and against amnesty was Ted Cruz.” Hundreds of others echoed the sentiment. “You, Jeff Sessions just gave up on America,” Facebook user, Jubilee Freidhelm, wrote. “You, Jeff Sessions just went against Liberty. You, Jeff Sessions just punched all conservative constitutionalists in the face…. You, Jeff Sessions are a TRAITOR.”
Others said they were “absolutely disappointed” by the endorsement. In fact, all of the most-liked comments on Sessions’ latest status update attacked the senator for backing Trump, highlighting the deep antipathy that some conservatives feel toward the GOP front-runner.
Trump supporters, meanwhile, hailed the endorsement as a victory, celebrating it as key to earning mainstream conservative votes in the election. His supporters took to Trump’s largest subreddit /r/the_donald, to explain the significance behind Trump’s latest endorsement.
Sessions, who announced his endorsement of Trump at a football stadium in Alabama, is known for his hard-line stance on immigration. On Sunday, while endorsing Trump, he declared: “You have asked for 30 years, and politicians have promised for 30 years, to fix illegal immigration, Donald Trump will do it,” he said.
The endorsement came just two days before Super Tuesday, when 13 states, including Sessions’ home state of Alabama, will cast ballots in the primaries. Sessions’ timely endorsement could push undecided voters to favor Trump ahead of the crucial day in the primary season.

I'd love to see Canadians refused Healthcare in America. (Because theirs is so much better)
That won't happen, the only reason Canadians get treatment in the USA is because they can have their treatment faster.
Faster and better. I am aware, hence the reason I made the comment.

Our economies are already globally interdependent...

Faster because you have less people getting treatments.
Odd, considering our population is so much larger.

I honestly don't know if what he said is actually true but it's not so odd to think that... You'd have to take into account the amount of people seeking medical attention and also the number of facilities to service said potential patients among a number of other factors..
Lakshmi.Flavin said: »

No they aren't. We could make everything here in the US if China stopped seducing businessmen and we kept our oil supplies rather than selling on the open market. We don't need Asia and we definitely don't need Latin America, Africa or those socialist Europeans.
I mean, we already do so many things so well. Like authentic Italian cuisine known as the Olive Garden.

On America..
Your computer wasn't built in the US.
Play a game called: "What in your house is made in the USA?" and weep as maybe 5% of what you buy is US made. Food is probably the biggest sector of items you own made in the US but most anything else?
'sup global economy.
America is just a cog in the machine that is the global economy, a rather large cog, but still interdependent.
You can continue to be as ignorant as you want and think America is the center of the universe or you could come back down to reality.

Why contradict yourself? America could lure business back, ironically Trump is probably the best guy for that job.
Oh, and practically everything in MY house is made in the USA.
Edit: Just did a walk around my house. Every single thing barring the Xbox and cell phone is made in America. Even most of my computer is American made. I built it, but gave in to some overseas parts. The TV that I use as the screen is American made as well!

Hate to call out your ignorance here because when I use that word I get banned. However, you take Americas cog out of the picture and the entire world comes to a screeching halt and pirates literally take over the sea.
Nothing the rest of the world offers cannot be made in America.

it will be when trump moves our galaxy there for it's primo location and low intergalactic tax rates....
Trump is a businessman, I'm not sure why you'd think he wouldn't go for the cheapest forms of labor if it means being able to sell end products at the lowest price points. He's done it during his business career, to the point of hiring illegals to do work because they're cheaper.
What's he going to do? Command business leaders to bring manufacturing home? Sure sounds like some pesky evil gov't regulations waiting to happen.

America isn't the center of the universe. Many countries do things far better than us. Sounds like some primo "never left my hometown" nonsense all up in here.

I think I already saw this movie... and once he becomes emporor and abolishes the senate he will be able to shoot blue/purpley lighting bolts out of his fingers and force choke the ***out of people

no wait...his vice president / apprentice will do the force choking...

while it's potentially true that we have enough resources to produce everything we need how do you think it would effect our own market if we completely pulled out of every other one? Wait I shouldn't ask you that because you'd probably just spout the equivalent of America *** yeah. Think about why we are already so invested in other markets.
Watch what happens to the markets when there are uncertainties elsewhere. Look outside your window.

We had our chance to elect Emperor Palpatine way back in 2000. Fortunately, we didn't choose imagined evil. But one much, much closer to home.
Rubio already hammered trump for having been fined for hiring illegal workers...

Actually quite the opposite. All he has to do is lower the damn taxes business has to pay, tear up some stupid regulations that are unwarranted, stop illegal immigration and enforce our laws on them working.
Not only would business run back to America, Americans pay would raise and the 90+ million people that are out of the workforce would be able to get back in. Oh.. Byproduct alert! Our economy would start booming again. The horror!

I figured you would read that wrong.
