Credits to the third guy in the comments for the amazing pun.
Don't worry about what people think, they don't do it very often.

Surprised that none of the Eurosceptics on this forum have been yelling about the next EU commisioner probably being a German from Merkel's party.

Shh, eurocuck.

Yo is anyone here who thinks banning guns and blaming video games is the ultimate way to eliminate domestic terrorism and any kind of crime that involves guns? XD
One of the best side blockers in the game. Often reffered as 'the Sideblock King'.

Background checks, closing the gunshow loophole and investing more into people's mental health would probably be a good start. (But I don't knowv to much about the issue tbh)

"Constitutional crisis!" cry the cronies banding together to sabotage the democratic process of delivering the will of the electorate. Save your utter projection.

There hasn't been a queens speech in 3 years, if anything this shows a push to move beyond brexit and start tackling our actual domestic issues once again

Parliament has no authority outside of the express mandate of the sovereign, don't @ me.
Did you know that if you use 100% of your brain, you get godlike powers? true story.
Did you know that if you use 10% of received donations, you can release BCoF by now. true story

I really don't understand how people think Bernie is going to pull this off. He gets lambasted by the media 24/7, and says a whole lot of shit that sounds completely unfeasible. As per usual, I anticipate he will pull the money he needs out of his own ass while being already $21 trillion in debt.

https://www.usdebtclock.org

His “free” plans for America involve: $35 trillion for healthcare, $16 trillion for climate change, $1.5 trillion for student loan debt, $2.5 trillion for housing.

Where the fuck is $55 trillion dollars just magically going to appear from? He certainly can't print that much without fucking the global economy and sending us all into a recession. Military spending in total is $600 billion per year, equaling $6 trillion over a decade, even though completely liquidating our military puts ourselves at risk from foreign invasion. Wall Street speculation tax would generate $400 billion over ten years according to independent analysis from tax policy center. Wealthy income (top 1%) tax at a rate of 70% would raise about $700 billion over ten years according to the Washington Post.

Assuming we eliminate our military, and jack up taxes on WS speculation and the wealthy, that provides an estimated total revenue of $7 trillion over a decade. That leaves $50 trillion still to be paid for in order to implement those policies.

At this rate the United States will tank like Greece by 2025-2030.
