Yeah, one of the drawbacks of democracy - wisdom is not additive.

I think the USA is the only country to have ever called on NATO for assistance, after 9/11.

Republican gets elected President.

Cuts benefits for the poor.

Cuts taxes for the rich.

Starts a war over oil.

It's crazy how it’s always the same thing every single time.
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"

Europe is destroying free speech, also when Europeans come to the U.S. they get screened for five years of their posts for thought crime.

Quote:Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.

In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to require applicants to provide a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children.

It's elementary my dear Watson. These dastardly Europeans destroy "free speech" so big brother must check it they're doubleplusgood and thus allowed to visit.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Like Somalia, but with better tech and armament.
