Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Story as old as time. Crybaby drafts woefully inadequate list, then cries when others point out the inadequacy. Sad.

Anyhoo:

men's rights

debtors' prisons

AMERICA

[Crumb]

OK, I'll play.

police
courts
military
roads
fire protection
education
retirement insurance
unemployment insurance
universal healthcare
food
housing
clothing
energy

And definitely more.

[Limoncello]

I definitely need more energy.

[Corona688]

I reviewed your posting history and find myself still waiting on the last question I asked you. So I don't think there's any point in honestly engaging you.

[Henry Quirk]

men's rights: not on the list

debtors' prisons: mebbe wedged in somewhere between courts and police

AMERICA: not on the list

[Henry Quirk]

Like what?

[Henry Quirk]

Direct me to the thread and I'll see what I can do.

I assume by "nada" you mean the third-person present singular conjugation of nadar, which means "to swim", from which I infer you mean swimming lessons.

Which I do think the government should provide. It's good for people to know how to swim, if even just for safety reasons.

[Henry Quirk]

nope

Your assumption is clearly correct, and all right-thinking people would agree that government should in fact provide all citizens with nada, i.e., swimming lessons.

When you qualified healthcare as limited, then one cannot assume that birth control is covered by health care. Especially because historically and more recently, birth control was heavily regulated or is made difficult to obtain

[Henry Quirk]

Birth control would probably fall under universal healthcare (which is on the list).

[Stephen Maturin]

This thread prompted a rather lulzy trip down Memory Lane.

[Henry Quirk]

The good old days.

[Ari]

Double birth control.

[Ensign Steve]

Death control

I assumed by "nada" he was using the nominative declension of the Croatian or Bosnian feminine noun nada [cf. Serb. нада] from the Proto-Slavic *nadědja [cf. Pol. nadzeija; Russ. надeжда, etc.), which is of course orthographically similar to but etymologically distinct from the Old East Slavic predicative nado, meaning "need" or "necessity" [e.g. Russ. надо]; Old Russ. надобѣ.].

Either of those would also be ok.

Meaning, validation and safe spaces.

And pillows.
