Harness Racing / Re: IM LEAVING THIS COUNTRY IF DEMOCRATS RETAKE THE HOUSE« Last post by SeattleSlew on Today at 02:03:55 AM »THATS IT I HAVE HAD IT WITH THE STUPIDITY OF THESE VOTERS,, Here is what you are moving to (if you choose Costa Rica)...sort of Libertarian, a bit of Socialism mixed in: Type of Government • Democratic Republic: Costa Rica operates under a 1949 Constitution that establishes the separation of powers into three main branches—Executive, Legislative, and Judicial—along with an independent Supreme Electoral Tribunal (Tribunal Supremo de Elecciones). • Executive Branch: Headed by a president who serves as both head of state and head of government, alongside two vice presidents and a cabinet. The president is elected for a single four-year term and cannot run for consecutive re-election (requiring an eight-year waiting period). • Legislative Branch: A unicameral body called the Legislative Assembly (Asamblea Legislativa) with 57 deputies elected via proportional representation for four-year terms. • Judicial Branch: An independent Supreme Court of Justice and hierarchical judiciary that interprets laws and upholds constitutional rights. • Abolition of the Military: Under Article 12 of its 1949 Constitution, Costa Rica constitutionally abolished its standing army, reallocating those defense funds toward public health, education, and social welfare programs. Overall Political Philosophy • Social Democracy & Welfare State: Post-1949 political philosophy in Costa Rica has historically centered on a blend of constitutional liberalism and a strong social safety net. The state guarantees universal healthcare, public education (with a minimum of 8% of GDP allocated), environmental protection, and basic labor rights. • Pacifism and Neutrality: A core tenet of modern Costa Rican identity is demilitarization and peaceful international diplomacy, encapsulated in its famous national motto "Pura Vida" and its historical avoidance of regional civil wars. • Shift toward Multi-Party Fragmentation and Populism: While the mid-to-late 20th century was dominated by a two-party system (centered around the center-left National Liberation Party and the social-christian opposition), contemporary politics have evolved into a fragmented multi-party landscape. Recent administrations—such as that of President Rodrigo Chaves—have leaned into anti-establishment, populist-leaning political communication and friction with traditional legislative and media institutions. 77

Political Roundtable / Trump congratulates Democrats-from CBS NEWS!« Last post by rainman2 on Today at 12:27:53 AM »Trump congratulates Democrats in election night call with CBS News
CBS News Weijia Jiang Tue, November 3, 2026 at 11:47 PM EST President Trump congratulated Democrats on their midterm election victories in a phone call with CBS News. "My message is, congratulations to the Democrats, and I look forward to working with you for the good of our country," he said. The president said he plans to work with the opposing party saying, "I know a lot of Democrats, I have total veto power and I'm sure we'll be able to work things out." "I think they're gonna want to work with me," he said. "Otherwise I'd just veto everything and they're not gonna want that." The president insisted that so many Republicans lost because he wasn't on the ballot. "I feel that I wasn't on the ballot, and there was nothing that could be done about that," he said. "If I was, we would have won." Explaining the losses for Republicans, the president added: "In some cases they didn't like the candidates, and in some cases those candidates were not my friend and the base knows that better than anybody. And they stayed back. They didn't have — I mean, it's just, it's sad in the sense that we would have won easily if I was on the ballot. But I wasn't." Asked if he is upset, he said he "tried hard" and "left it on the field" "I tried to help people get elected, and they were not elected, they couldn't get elected," he said. "The people didn't come out as they should have. If I were on the ballot they would have been out. But they didn't. It's just one of those things, you know? It's a point in time. Happened many times before." Separately, the president said the Iran war would be over "when I say it's over, basically. It'll end when I say it ends." TRANSLATION: More WAA WAA WAA from our country's 'chief deflector' yet again and/or more dementia setting in! H 80
