As Trump tries to destroy NATO and set up his "New World Order".

When other countries set up industrial operations it's foreign investment, but when China does it it's a foothold? Why aren't you complaining about the US trying to destroy our economy?

As Trump rails against 'Jina': China Trade Summary https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/china-mongolia-taiwan/peoples-republic-china#:~:text=U.S. goods and services trade,(%2417 billion) from 2023. "U.S. goods and services trade with China totaled an estimated $658.9 billion in 2024, up 2.6 percent ($17 billion) from 2023."

Not well, but not total disaster either. (My prediction) I don't think Trump will finish his term. Either a massive stroke or heart attack ends him or debilitates him so he's removed, or after losing BIG TIME in the mid-terms, he quits, rapidly declines and dies. A better President and Congress start making amends for some of his messes. His family drift into the background and live luxurious lives off their grift fortunes. This is just what my intuition tells me will happen, but what do I know - I thought the Jays would winn the world series.

"As democracy is perfected, the office [of president] represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people … On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright m0ron." Henry Louis Mencken 1920 Because: “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov No wonder Trump said he loves the 'poorly educated'.

Why are you lying? Every video shows that is not true.

Maybe. Depends on what you say. Or maybe we still need to counterbalance the 'Tyranny of the Majority'. All the statistics on employment, income, etc.. suggest so.

All it took was some genocide and slavery.

My brother's $4000 dentures only cost him $200 thanks to CDCP, so you must be doing something wrong...

But try telling that to most right-wing politicians and their followers. According to them we're always in an apocalyptic age of crime.

Why are so many Republicans crooks? Something inherent in their politics.

Right. Police in large cities have helicopters. CC cameras are everywhere. Drones are the next step. It all comes down to 'Who's in Charge?' CONTROL or KAOS? (I'm old, hence the reference) Read an article of an American city with 24 hr. satellite coverage. They had a photo of a home invasion, the perp's car parked out front. They followed the photos backward (like rewinding) and found where the car had come from, then making an arrest. I don't like this 'Surveillance Age' but it's something we just have to live with. (Had to put up my own cameras after someone recently stole a lot of oil out of my tank.)

The usual cogent, eloquent right wing arguments.

You have a nice day, now.

Um, traitor to what?

And what I see from Trump, Vance, Hegseth et al, is a very deep insecurity. They have something to prove, a bottomless pit they can't fill.

Really? Maybe they prefer to collaborate but where is the proof they can't lead?

Wow! You can colour between the lines. Pretty good for an American Troll!

Yes dear, that's nice. Now you go out and play. Don't lose your mittens!

Like US control over Hawaii. Britain's control over The Falklands, etc...

The US already has Carte Blanche to install defence sites. Good for the US, good for NATO. This is about Rseources (minerals, etc...) Ocean control, and diversion (not hearing much about Epstein and affordability these days). Wag the dog! Nothing wrong with trade routes, if that's all it is.

Sorry - where did I say that? Are you mistaking me for the voices in your head?

Of course you can quote where said anything like that? Just more lying bullsh!t.

Hey, I support your freedom to say stoopid things. The minimum wage in Mississippi for 2025 is $7.25 per hour, which is the federal minimum wage Slavers? Good rightwinger. Baa Baa...
