No, I would grab a parachute and hope for the best.

Sorry, I thought you meant the current status of our country was the joke.

The ProgBots are a joke.

What did the rest of the world think of Trump?

Don't think I've ever agreed with a damn thing you've said. That is, when I can UNDERSTAND what you said

I am paying a dollar more for gas then I did a year ago.

I am paying a dollar more for gas then I did a year ago.

Why were the prices so low last year?

Laughed at internationally, certainly. Not for the reasons mostly cited above. and not really more than other powers are. There is always a measure of schadenfreude in watching the high and mighty fail, in all times and places in history.
The most laughable aspect, however, is this excessive, unceasing self flagellation over every issue with the two-pronged flail of the dualistic mindset. There is so much to split hairs over that the core problems are totally obscured. The unhesitating, unvarying jump into vociferous attack condemns threads to rapidly becoming echo chambers of unbearable notes. A republican democracy should be better than this.

I also want to point out that the people who are laughing at this stuff might be using nervous laughter, because I hope the fact that America's slowly turning into a socialist country really isn't humorous to anybody. Even democrats on here can't be that stupid, can they?

After he closed the Free Checking Account?
They hated him.

Not just humorous, belly laugh humorous. Somethings never change.

"Back in 1952, President Harry Truman explained that “socialism” had long stood as the reflexive response of Republicans to the New Deal. It was, he charged on the campaign trail, simply “a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.” To prove his point, he rattled off an array of New Deal policies — Social Security, FDIC, price supports for farmers, public power and labor rights — that conservatives had denounced as “creeping socialism.” “Socialism,” the president argued, “is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.”

A brief history of ‘socialism,' the misguided weapon that Trump and Republicans love to hate.

All these policies that were once denounced as dangerously “socialist” by Republicans have become mainstays of the American political scene.

When Jonas Salk developed a polio vaccine in 1955, for instance, Democrats proposed a federal program to distribute the vaccine to all American schoolchildren. Eisenhower’s secretary of health education and welfare (HEW), a Texas millionaire named Oveta Culp Hobby, objected to the plan: “That’s socialized medicine by the back door, not the front door.”

But the Eisenhower White House wasn’t immune to charges of socialism either. The far-right radio commenter Clarence Manion accused the Republican administration of enabling a “drift toward central government,” holding up the interstate highway system as a prime example of “creeping socialism.” Even the new HEW Department, he said, was “an ominous affront to the last rampart of … state authority and responsibility.”

I was wrong, apparently democrats on here can be that stupid.

They are not Democrats, they are ProgBots.

They are not Democrats, they are ProgBots.

Those are like robots right?

They are not emotionally capable of dealing with context and facts.
Neo-Cons don't want to deal with context but they can be cornered into dealing with them.

I think you're a bit mixed up on what socialism actually is.

I don't think President Truman was. But the Republicans have always used that same conflation you're trying.

Receiving special benefits for people who need them (like me for an example) and depending on the government for everything isn't the same thing. The fact that I even have to explain that is absurd.
