    Sorry wm., my post had nothing to do with Bernie, merely used the link to convey Trump's assessment of the situation.

    My query was to do with the existence of CHAMPUS, which Takao has kindly informed me is now called Tricare.

    My interest there was I used to be a Health Benefits Advisor for the CHAMPUS programme which was so convoluted. I do hope the Tricare program is simpler (but I doubt it). I despised that part of my job back in the 90's. It wasn't easy telling people that the military just didn't pick up the whole tab for their health care, just a percentage. I was the messenger that had to tell them they were still due thousands of dollars and then try to comfort some very broken and disillusioned patients.

    And as others have pointed out the system has been a mess long before Obama's time.

    It's just part of his SOP, When it's clear he's loosing he tries to throw out something off topic but controversial to distract attention from the fact that his previous position has been thoroughly discredited. Typical of an under bridge dweller.

    Sorry it's my fault, I intended to leave only the link but eventually forgot.
    As a self-administrated punishment I've read the entire Wikipedia article on Tricare :)

    Maybe Tricare is convoluted but I haven't read such a noncontroversial and peaceful article for a long time...

    I don't think I've lost but if you say so.
    It's unlikely if opponents have to resort to ad hominem.
    It's very unlikely if an opponent has to resort to ad hominem, and isn't even able to contribute anything to the discussion.
    And I suppose such tactics mainly scare off new recruits but achieve nothing.

    But anyway I don't care, British politics are boring and lack the grandiose of American politics. Although it's a nice country and one of the least corrupted.

    This topic has become too cerebral. Too much logic was injected I suppose. We need emotions, and liberals love emotions, no?

    So, payback time - for all the years of biased reporting:

    Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway takes a picture of United States President Donald Trump with members of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the Oval Office of the White House, Washington, DC:

    The Trump Bump: Stock Market Hits 21,000 for the First Time in History
    A new phenomena that has emerged in America's economy ever since President Donald Trump won the 2016 election. The U.S. stock market hit 20,000 for the first time January 25, just days after Trump assumed office, and has continued to rise ever since.

    On Wednesday, just hours after President Trump's most popular speech to date, U.S. equities went through the roof. The Dow Jones industrial average soared above 21,000 for the first time in history.
    Dow stocks climbed more than 150 points ahead of the open, while S&P and Nasdaq futures advanced 18 and 34 points, respectively.

    The speech "has gone a long way for the market," Quincy Krosby, market strategist for Prudential Financial said.
    The velocity and momentum we are seeing is exactly opposite from the doomsday scenario the mainstream media declared hours after the November 8 victory.

    President Trump, and the American people, are ready to get things moving.

    The Dumb Blond is thinking..."Several African American men gather in Trump' White House and they are not dressed as servants - Pics or it didn't happen."

    The daughter of a notorious terrorist. the operation 'went south' rather quickly as there was higher than expected resistance and it appears that those on the ground had at least some fore knowledge of the raid which might be due to the joint nature of the forces involved. Indications are that gunship and fighter aircraft had to be called in to extract the SEAL/UAE team.

    No idea who killed the little girl specifically.

    Takao, that's a rather gratuitous insult and frankly uncalled for.
    I don't think you can judge people's intellect based on their blonde hair (or orange hair :D )
    That "dumb blonde" managed to win a campaign with an ignorant, petty, boorish jackass candidate, against a veteran Washington candidate with 3x or 4x the campaign budget, who was predicted to win in a landslide, along with taking the house and Senate.
    How is it that this "dumb blonde" figured out that Wisconsin was critical, while the opponent wasted resources in Arizona, Georgi Texas and utah?
    Whatever you think of her politics, she was smart enough to manage a campaign that beat the "unbeatabe" candidate

    Yes, I did surmise that was a terrorists daughter, she's probably a year or two too young to be his wife. :eek:

    Hard to criticize the military for carrying out a raid to gather intelligence, Yo'Bama certainly killed enough innocent civilians with drone strikes :/

    I think she made it pretty clear that she meant to say "terrorists" not "massacre", although the Bowling Green terrorist DID commit a massacre of Americans, only it was in Iraq.

    So if we want to bash Kelly Ann for misspeaking, what about outright lies? View attachment 25639

    Yes!
    And later it was: everybody back to the plantation! :)

    But I'm wonder how come one of the most successful American women, married, with four young children, raising all of them by herself has become bimbo...
    Shouldn't she be like a role model for everybody?

    That girl's death means nothing, it's just another casualty of the Yemeni civil war, where only in the last year almost 1000 children were killed, and estimated 10,000 preventable child deaths happens annually - because of the war.

    Her father and his neighbors, known as ISIS, control one fifth of the country and routinely murder civilians by hundreds like here in Sana: 2015 Sana'a mosque bombings - 142 killed, 351 wounded.
