Yabut, who would want to do business with a declining super-power, run by a plutocratic-oligarchy with a sham-democracy and an appalling human rights record, backed by a christian patriarchy whose power is disproportionate to the beliefs of the populace?









I think even the Russians have higher standards than that.

But Mexicans are also Christians and yet Conservatives in US regard them as devils.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Why do liberals want to regulate everything except immigration?

Before you ask why something is, you should show THAT something is. 'Regulating everything' is a gross exaggeration and so is 'no regulation of immigration'.

Watch those reductive, broad-brush strokes. It's demonstrably clear now that you know little about American politics.

Quote:Paul Krugman’s prediction about the Republican Party was just vindicated


Quote:New York Times op-ed columnist Paul Krugman is taking a well-deserved victory lap as his most dismal predictions about the dark machinations of the Republican Party are coming true.
He explained in a new column this week:
When the Trump tax cut was on the verge of being enacted, I called it “the biggest tax scam in history,” and made a prediction: deficits would soar, and when they did, Republicans would once again pretend to care about debt and demand cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
Sure enough, the deficit is soaring. And this week Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, after declaring the surge in red ink “very disturbing,” called for, you guessed it, cuts in “Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.” He also suggested that Republicans might repeal the Affordable Care Act — taking away health care from tens of millions — if they do well in the midterm elections.


It's why Ryan voted for the Trump tax cut. Ever since he was in college, he has had something similar planned.
His incentive to vote for the tax plan was to balloon the deficit, so Medicaid, Medicare and SS would have to be cut.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
