A travel card that uses Visa Infinite is your best bet here. I have the Capital One Venture X and one of my prime use cases for it (aside from travel upgrades and points transfer) is electronics purchases.
But it does mean "better than the current guy", though. So, he is better. Better than the man before (who started the wars in the ME, but in the countries who didn't plan and execute 9/11 oddly), and better than the man after (who pals around and holds globes together with the country where 80% of the 9/11 terrorists were born).
No, he actually went right after your implied (to me and muhfuhkah, at least) argument.
Your argument is that we should aspire to merely "just better than the other guys", with the subtext that Democrats aren't really any better than Republicans.
'muhfuhkah' pointed out that it IS better. Which is worth pointing out in a two party system.
We just watched a whole bunch of people make your same arguments, saying Obama wasn't perfect so whatever they're all the same, and as a result we elected a guy who's much worse in every possible way. Great job, everyone.
You're reading too far into it (and "muhfuhka" is just Reddit-posting).
Parent post was surprised that Obama did not legalize drugs. Presumably due to binary thinking ("correct" politician does "correct" thing, etc). But even in a two-party system, "correct" does not equal "perfect". It's dangerous to presume that a politician's beliefs and actions will always line up with your preference, just because he or she is not with the other party that you oppose.
That is all. It is not even remotely a statement that all politicians and parties are equivalent. My sentence that he quoted from explicitly says the opposite, for pete's sake. You guys are just venting.
>Presumably due to binary thinking ("correct" politician does "correct" thing, etc)
This is not a safe presumption. Michael Botticelli (former director of the drug czar’s office) came out and said that the administration was considering it, but it was too dangerous, politically.
The Obama administration pushed lots of sentencing reform legislation, so it would follow that they might decriminalize cannabis as well. It's not just because they were democrats.
>No, Obama didn't embrace drug decriminalization
We can easily find examples to refute this, 2010's Fair Sentencing Act and Holder's 2013 memo regarding mandatory sentences in low-level drug cases come to mind.
That's because Insys makes fentanyl. Fentanyl is abused, so everyone points to them and says "What are you doing to stop drug abuse?". So they write a fat check to stop "drug abuse". The fact it was marijuana legalization doesn't matter, it served it's purpose.
But if we cut military, they'd then be much more fiscally responsible and not have to admit that they'd "lost" trillions of dollars that they can't account for every, oh, decade or so.
They did not in fact admit they "lost" trillions. It's a fair criticism of their mediocre accounting, however they did not lose trillions of dollars, nor are trillions of dollars unaccounted for. That part isn't even actually being disputed by that ignorant CNN article. Trillions of dollars have not been properly audited, which is not the same as that entire sum simply being magically missing.
That article is rehashing the same bogus premise that has been thrown around for decades. Here's how it works:
Basically: within $N trillion in spending, there is a combination of non-audits and accounting irregularities, so therefore CNN throws up a click-bait article claiming the entire amount of spending is unaccounted for.
Pretty idiotic when you consider the sums being claimed vs the known expenditures in question. The premise is: every dollar that wasn't audited was stolen; logically, even if one were to assume theft (etc) happened, it's likely to be a dramatically smaller sum of the whole.
Black youth. At worst, they would've been let go with a warning if they'd been white. FTA: "My kids sell water and everyone smiles at them. These kids do it and get arrested. It IS racist"
Ironically, the head of the Dept. of Ed. invested over a hundred million dollars in a debt collection agency that tacks on these usurious fees and rates.
It's like people don't remember that there was a president that called a press conference, spoke to the people, put on a jacket, got in a helicopter, and flew away from the White House forever.
Yes, and other people seem to forget that that did not lead to new elections.
Presidential elections happen on schedule. If Trump should leave that gives you Pence, if Pence should leave that will give you Ryan. And likely by that time it will be 2020 and you'll have those new elections but until then you'll be stuck with a Republican as president, like it or not.
Right but aren't many kids using Instagram and other Facebook products now that they have adopted the Snapchat features? That's what I keep hearing anyway, no idea if it's reality or not.
