  2. I'd bet it was trump. After all he does have an unexplained bank account in China.
  3. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Dark_Winter In before the nut jobs blame Biden.

    Trump: "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China. It's going to be just fine."

  5. Still, it's a watershed moment in Israel's relationship with Gulf Arab states which have been happy to have quiet, so-called under the table dealings with Israel until now, he said. "The U.A.E.'s willingness to go public with this and fully normalize relations is a historic breakthrough in that respect," Waxman said from Los Angeles. And it is significant, he said, because "now that the U.A.E. has taken the first step, taken the plunge, so to speak, it will encourage other countries to follow." Although the deal requires Israel to halt its contentious plan to annex occupied West Bank land, the agreement will also fortify the alliance that Israel has forged in recent years with the U.A.E.and other Gulf states to counteract Iranian expansionism, Waxman said. https://www.israelhayom.com/2020/10/18/israel-settlement-plans-draw-international-condemnation/ Enjoy the fireworks i guess.
  6. From your article: While Sudan has far from fully committed to the deal, it will be seen in Israel as a major step forward. Unlike the UAE and Bahrain, which have never fought with the Jewish state, Sudan sent forces to fight in the war around Israel’s creation in 1948 and during the six-day war of 1967. In the 1970s, Israel backed Sudanese insurgents fighting the Khartoum government.
  7. Israel and Sudan refers to diplomatic ties between Israel and Sudan. Officially, the two countries do not have bilateral relations, but according to Israeli Deputy Minister for Regional Cooperation Ayoob Kara, they maintain covert ties. So in other words trump accomplished nothing really.
  8. With trumps declaration of "peace" today I see flames that could rival any atomic weapon the states and russia could ever dream of building. Combined!

      Yes lets have more peace deals between countries that aren't at war.  Sign one with Canada and France next!

      Do you understand the implications of normalizing relations between two countries?  You’re acting like a child.

      Guess normalizing relationships and keeping the peace doesn't matter cos Trump did it.  

  9. https://apnews.com/article/election-2020-ap-fact-check-joe-biden-donald-trump-pennsylvania-fa798602a357d0f4a765739e36f4f82b Biden’s actual position, which he frequently states, is that he would ban new gas and oil permits — including fracking — on federal lands only. The vast majority of oil and gas does not come from federal lands.
  10. Yes, because no one tries to get into Canada illegaly. https://irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/statistics/Pages/Irregular-border-crosser-statistics.aspx
  11. Lol yeah its ok for illegal voting as long as they vote republican. Now let's hear some more whining about mail in ballots!
  12. Atwater: As to the whole Southern strategy that Harry S. Dent, Sr. and others put together in 1968, opposition to the Voting Rights Act would have been a central part of keeping the South. Now you don't have to do that. All that you need to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in place on the issues that he's campaigned on since 1964, and that's fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole cluster. Questioner: But the fact is, isn't it, that Reagan does get to the Wallace voter and to the racist side of the Wallace voter by doing away with legal services, by cutting down on food stamps? Atwater: Y'all don't quote me on this. You start out in 1954 by saying, "Nigger, nigger, nigger". By 1968 you can't say "nigger"—that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me—because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this", is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "Nigger, nigger". So, any way you look at it, race is coming on the back-burner.
  13. It was Harvey LeRoy "Lee" Atwater who came up with the southern strategy and was the strategist behind Reagan and Bush's campaigns, and was also chairman of the rnc.
  14. http://inside.sfuhs.org/dept/history/US_History_reader/Chapter14/southernstrat2.htm Yup. Never happened.
  15. Trump hasn't done much about illegals despite his stupid wall promises. And calling people deadbeats and putting stupid tarriffs on them doesn't really make any hope of improvement.
  16. Bush was the wrong candidate for the gop because their focus was to be "anti establishment" So instead they chose a candidate who was born into privilege and had a semi celebrity status.
  17. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/2020-election/donald-trump-2020-campaign-nearly-broke-168549?amp Was it that that did it or something (or someone) else?
  18. Ah yes the old "there's no such thing as bad publicity" scheme. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/04/americans-are-paying-the-price-for-trumps-failures/609532/ Sounds good to me.
  19. To claim that but dismiss them as liars doesn't work well for trumps image. Those tactics work well in middle east dictatorships.
  20. Ah yes, David Cameron's aide says that and trumpers are all ears, but when trumps former aides speak out (many of which had faced criminal charges btw) they are casted out as liars and fake news.
  21. https://books.google.ca/books/about/The_Cult_of_Trump.html?id=py-BDwAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description&redir_esc=y It's not just Argus.
  22. And his cabinet supplied Iran with weapons. Great idea!
  23. And he had a blackface perform at his inauguration. Highly appropriate.
  24. If you don't find the republican southern strategy appealing, then yeah, vote democrat.
