And one more country's public believes that too - ours. (On world affairs, most G20 countries more confident in Merkel than Trump.)
Cool - let Germany handle world affairs. It's a thankless job. Less costly and aggravating for us if someone else does it.
Lol you really think we get nothing in return for our role in international affairs?

No, their job is to investigate this stuff.

And I didn't quote both.
Keep up with the conversation big guy.
Listen buddy, if you want Mr Rogers dialogue then argue with the admins. I am not here to coddle your insecurities.
Now, if I were making illegal physical threats to your person, I have no doubt they would boot me. The only difference between me, and say Judge Judy is my choice of words. None of my responses here are calling for your arrest or death, so grow the fuck up.
I simply think you are full of shit. I would say the same thing if you went around claiming every day "The New England Patriots beat the Chicago Cubs in the Stanley Cup" my response would be the same.
If you are lucky enough to own your own business GREAT, but if you think that means you are the only class that matters what can I say, I won't lie to you, BULLSHIT.
We have done the deregulation since Reagan. We have done the "don't tax the rich" since Reagan. If it worked like the GOP claimed NOBODY WOULD BE BITCHING.
But please spare me, if you think as a small business owner you are in the same class as say Exxon or Walmart, you are gullible and being conned just as much as the GOP workers who don't own businesses.
You own a business. AWESOME. You give to charity, again GREAT. But none of that has to do with long term bad policies.
FYI I do see my Bank and I do see my tax lawyer. And I will make adjustments when needed. But my finances are NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS in any case. I am sorry it bothers you that I don't agree with "fuck you I got mine" economics, but that does not make me a commie or anti private sector.
Mother Teresa created more dependency not less. She did it solely for her own delusions. As Hitchens put it, "She was a friend to poverty, not a friend of the poor". That is what religions do, teach people to value suffering rather than to reduce it.
Now you tell me why someone else should make up for something you CHOSE to give away? I am so sick of the right droning on about how taxes are robbery but take charity deductions others end up having to compensate for. If you want a solution to reducing poverty the BEST SOLUTION are wages that meet up with the cost of living.
Now, here is a BILLIONAIRE who would agree with me, NOT YOU.

BTW, what did the right fire her from?
I heard that CNN fired her, but they're on the left. If she got fired from anything else, I didn't hear about it.
Why is everyone mad at the right but giving CNN a free pass on this?
CNN JUST FIRED TWO OF IT'S REPORTERS, they don't even give themselves a pass. I think the right simply elected an inept narcissistic man baby and don't want to face it.
Haha. Don't get you panties in a bunch bro. Just my .02. I think you're wrong, but that's okay too.
We need to meet up and hug this out man.

Beta you are an idiot America leads the world out of it's own interest not out of generosity . We don't owe you any thanks nor does any other nation owe us thanks only nationalist fuckwits like you think like that.And isolationism will prove far more costly and aggravating . Then dumbass can imagine .

Yep Japan and the EU made a nice little trade agreement sans us.
Meanwhile we've become the arms dealer for Taiwan, S Korea, Saudi Arabia.. and more tHan I can think of right now. China btw, is not happy about this. And they're the only thing keeping us from war with N Korea. Point is, Jesus' work is bein done. All Hail Trump.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

How am I wrong?
In 36 years since Reagan started the age of deregulation and "don't tax the rich" the pay gap has exploded. In that same time the GOP has gained, through gerrymandering, a lopsided majority of the Governor's offices, majority of state governments. And when you average out the balance of power in the three branches of the federal government over that same time, the GOP has dominated all three most of that time.
Again, if it worked like the GOP has been falsely selling that entire time nobody would be bitching.

Well, no system or political party idea is 100% perfect or full proof. Gerrymandering is the norm for both parties and will continue until term limits are put in place for congress and senate seats. It’ll still probably happen at that point too.
To place all blame on the shoulders of the GOP is pretty narrow minded. Take a look at the wellbeing of the worst states in the country. California, New York, and Illinois (Washington and Origen aren’t too far behind). These are STRICT democrat states in their public offices. Some of the highest state taxes and some of the highest debt among states. Toughest gun laws and astronomical gun deaths from criminal activity. Highest levels of welfare recipients, some of the highest unemployment rates, etc., etc., etc.
The GOP isn’t perfect, but the Democratic Party doesn’t have any room at all to point fingers. Their feel good, hug society message doesn’t hold up either. It’s sounds good; it’s draining the blood from people, but it sounds good. I guess sounding good is good enough because it keeps them in office. Maybe that’s what counts.

No it is not narrow minded. The data is in, the maps are there and SHOW that it is lopsided.
What caused the great depression is the same mindset that caused Bush's triple whammy car/bank an housing crash were due to long term and horrible policy of a free for all market. Unless the top puts real skin in the game and those on Wall Street get put in prison they will continue to gamble with our economy and the middle and poor classes will keep getting stuck with the bill.
The only thing dems can be accused of is too much compromise and voter apathy in that time.
And go fuck yourself with the bullshit "feel good" slur. Again moron, if it worked like the GOP sells nobody would be bitching. It is that fucking simple.
I am sick of the bullshit that taxing the rich is robbery.
I am sick of the bullshit that liberals hate the private sector.
I am sick of the bullshit that subsidies are a call for Cuba or Stalin's Russia.
Now again the mantra coming from the right is always "independence". NO FUCKING SHIT, and pay that meets the cost of living will do just that. Now go back and keep watching that VIDEO, made by a BILLIONAIRE, not a poor person. Keep watching that until you fucking get it.
Your nanny state cold war bullshit isn't going to wash anymore.

Still haven't watched the video. I don't have any plans to unless we can watch it together with popcorn.
