U.S. Senate panel investigates former Trump aide Bannon: sources
Source: Reuters
OCTOBER 31, 2018 / 3:55 PM / UPDATED AN HOUR AGO
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee is pursuing a wide-ranging investigation into former White House adviser Steve Bannon’s activities during the 2016 presidential campaign, three sources familiar with the inquiry told Reuters.
The committee is looking into what Bannon might know about any contacts during the campaign between Moscow and two advisers to the campaign, George Papadopoulos and Carter Page, they said.
Papadopoulos, a consultant, initially advised the presidential campaign of Republican hopeful Ben Carson before joining the Trump campaign. Page is also a consultant, who had business contacts in Russia.
On Sept. 7, Papadopoulos was sentenced to 14 days in prison. He had pleaded guilty last year to lying to FBI agents about the timing and significance of his contacts with Russians, including a professor who told him the Russians had “dirt” on Trump’s Democratic presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.

I am a great believer in the NHS, I had a ultrasound scan recently because of a pain in my abdomen. Had blood tests on my liver, all came back ok. My one great beef is they are quite wasteful, too many health authorities order stuff like rubber gloves when the NHS itself should be ordering centrally to take advantage of their huge buying power.

5 cent piece, looks like a rounded diamond shape. Totally awesome.
Buenos Aires, Argentina ... 12 sided coin.
So what JackOff.
:yawn:
So you are British?
Mo more than you're a Saudi princess. The difference is that he never pretended to be something he's not, AFAIK.
You were spewing yourself as some kind of World Traveler, when in fact all you did was take a Ship Cruise, got off for a few hours, did some touristy stuff, then followed the herd back on the ship.
So ... in the Future, DON'T try to impress anybody with your 'Travellog'.
TD: "Tuesday we were in Rome and we had Pizza, Wednesday we were in France and had French Fries, Thursday we were in England and we ate English muffins, ... "
I think we all got the picture here. It's nice to go to foreign countries, glad your parents drug you around Europe with them, glad you took some Cruise Ship to the Caribbean, I guess crossing the Border into Mexico and Canada 'counts'.
Jack; you don't have to be a moron every damn day. You think asking about coins is a sign of worldliness while being an uneducated loser on a blog? STFU, seriously.
I was just trying to help. You sound like a Big Blowhard that is trying to pump himself up with a few lame tourist trips but in reality has never really gone anywhere or done anything. I'm really starting to second guess myself here and am beginning to think you aren't appreciating me helping you like this.

Harris - make America a 3rd world shithole
And when do you declare that the "slide" to 3rd world status began? ... with the passing of Obamacare?
U.K.'s Healthcare Horror Stories Ought To Curb Dems' Enthusiasm for Single-Payer
The rational criterion for selection would seem to be:
- the best healthcare outcomes: meaning longest life expectancy, longest useful life (not just an extra 3 years in the geriatric ward), etc.
- at lowest per capita cost.
If these are not the criteria being used both by our public policy makers, and by the posting contributors to this thread, then it would appear they're substituting a political agenda for pragmatic logic, and fiscal responsibility.
Seems to me the lives of my countrymen, and the debt we pass on to our grandchildren are more important than a selfish political agenda.

Sure you did.
How about longer life expectancies? Lower infant mortality rates? Lower childhood mortality rates? Lower maternal mortality rates? Lower obesity rates? Lower rates of infectious diseases? Lower rates of crimes associated with untreated mental illness? Lower suicide rates? Lower per capita healthcare spending? Lower rates of medical bankruptcy?
Do you think those things are not to be envied? Is it better to spend more on healthcare, live sicker lives, and die younger? If that's what you think, then we have a fundamentally different understanding of life.
How much do they spend, per capita, on healthcare? How about us?
What makes you think that?
I understand that as a person who has never actually been to Germany, you're stuck just parroting lines from Fox News. However, it's not actually true. Health care services and drugs (among other things) cost less in Germany. Facts matter. Learn some:

In what sense? Keep in mind that gross government debt in Germany is about 64.137% of GDP, according to the IMF:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_debt
By comparison, in the US, it's about 107.785%.
So, which one is going bankrupt?
Your imaginary friend would have been in a far better position than an American counterpart. As a Canadian citizen, if you don't want to wait, you have the same option every American has to pay out of pocket for something faster. By comparison, American citizens don't have the option the Canadians have of waiting and getting something affordable. If an American can't afford to pay out-of-pocket for a hip replacement (and isn't covered by socialized medicine by way of a military background over being 65 or older), that may mean being stuck in a wheel chair indefinitely.
Hahahaheheehaa! You just can't help yourself. Time and again, when you ask a question, your cowardice just takes over and you can't help but try to hide from an answer by telling the other person to shut up. Do you see why everyone thinks you're a joke?
Often quite a bit, as you know. It was, for example, government-controlled systems that split the atom, put men on the moon, built the interstate highways, and created the foundation of the Internet. At this very moment, we're using HTML, which came from innovations pioneered at the European Organization for Nuclear Research -- a system controlled by 22 governments.
Did you honestly not know those things, or was this just feigned ignorance?
Now tell us the places you've actually been, because you've got to know everyone on this forum knows better.
