Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I did. I told them I knew about this anonymous message board poster who told lousy jokes. They said they couldn't help me.

 

The rise of ISIS is due to the fuckup in Iraq by the previous administration.

 

That sounds great --- on the surface.

But much of it is because insurance simply became mandatory. There are still tons of healthy people who would CHOOSE NOT TO have insurance and roll the dice because the premiums and deductibles are too fucking high.
