I was definitely talking about the nation of Japan and their military.

Japan wasn't exactly a bunch of saints when it came to slaughtering civilians.

Yeah, it's definitely ok to pour out your coffee if it doesn't taste good, it's also fine to drink a mediocre cup.

I stop overthinking my coffee and make a cup with mixed grounds.

Pence isn't allowed to be around women that are not his wife in a private setting.

I don't want law makers so poor that they need bribes from lobbyists etc. Upper middle class income from their job duties allows politicians to focus solely on their job of representation without them worrying about paying the mortgage and the bills. I'd absolutely want the role of politican to lift people out of poverty too with a good income while they represent their community.

I dare my company to try it. There would be so many lawsuits in 3 years.

As an elected politician at any level you should be allowed a single family home, transportation that allows you to perform your role effectively, your salary as a politician which should be sufficient to allow poor people to take on the role of office as the sole provider for their household to live an upper middle class life style, and remaining investments should be divided in a basic assortment of mutual funds and bond funds. All other sources of income should be illegal. No 2nd jobs, no lobby money, no speaking fees.

But it's also the expected result of a first to the post voting system.

Yeah, that liquid helium and the MRI down time are super expensive

It will still be the Democrats fault somehow. My dad is whatever you call it when you're not conservative or Republican but still manage to vote for right wingers. His wife had a stroke years ago and her physical abilities and mind had started to go before that. She's needed to be on Medicare/Medicaid for a long time now. I hope she doesn't lose access.
