I think the bigger issue is the hypocrisy of the left. Lucifer posted several instances where someone made fun of Obama and they were demolished for it but so far there's been a lack of backlash over this. We'll see if CNN fires her from the New Year's Eve gig but I won't hold my breath.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and explore the possibility that universal income might not be such a bad thing. Please bear with me before jumping down my throat.
Here are some random thoughts of the benefits of such an Idea
We could:
Eliminate the minimum wage.
Eliminate welfare, food stamps, WIC, section 8 housing etc.
Eliminate unemployment insurance.
Outlaw street corner begging.
Ok, flame suit is on; fire away, (or come up with your own ideas of why it might be a good thing).
This is the guy that choked a reporter the day before the election, isn't it. And he still won.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has become the latest major tech figure to call for universal basic income as a solution for inequality, joining a growing chorus from Silicon Valley.
"Every generation expands its definition of equality. Now it's time for our generation to define a new social contract," Zuckerberg said during his commencement speech Thursday at Harvard University. "We should have a society that measures progress not by economic metrics like GDP but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful."
"We should explore ideas like universal basic income to give everyone a cushion to try new things," he said.
Zuckerberg told the class of 2017 that he was able to pursue his passion in Facebook because he knew he had a safety net to fall back on.
On Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg’s idea of a universal income, Steele said, “Why doesn’t he start with his own organization and put in a standard minimum income for all of his employees and see how that works for his shareholders.”
“It’s what you say when you want to sound like you’re with it and cool, you know, I’ve got this real progressive view on taxes and everybody owes everybody else,” Steele continued. “You do your thing, let me do mine and we’ll work it out. The government doesn’t need to be going around setting anybody’s minimum on anything,” he concluded.
It is not silly, but you are!
Since we're being pedantic here, better check your definition of CITIZEN! China has citizens, after all. Grab your hammer and sickle!
Sounds better than pretending there's a magical dude in heaven! I mean, at least Julius Caesar was actually there in front of them.
This is silly. What did you think I meant, that we were ruled by King Xenu?
We are a governed citizenry, but we are governed at our own consent, with the government's authority originating from us.

I would expect that a new vice president would be selected by Pence and approved very quickly before Ryan rose to the presidency. It's hard to imagine someone worse for the job and more universally despised than Ryan.
I disagree. Even if Trump resigned or was impeached and removed, Pence would become the next President, followed by Paul Ryan and so on. Our system of government is well in tact.
I agree that there are people who want to see Trump impeached (for whatever idiotic reason) or severely damaged so as to lose in 2020, but I hardly think that's a coup.
Let's also remember that just because a set of information is harmful to national security does not mean that the governed people shouldn't know about it.
