By the Clinton regime, the old cliche that the Rs were the Party of The Rich, & the Ds were the Party of The People, was propaganda, the bulk of fundraising for the Ds are Big Bribes from rich elitists, and it's small donations that dominate the R fundraising.
Although there are middle class fools donating to the Party of Jim Crow and some rich R donors. I don't mean to imply Republican politicians are all, free from corruption. Or that Every Democrat Politician is utterly corrupt. Although that's the winning bet a horrifyingly huge percentage.
I was once a fan of Bill, here. Then he got overtly political, not just mocking the "other side" but offering really stupid opinions about all those nasty people he didn't agree with.
But, hey, he's pretty stoned, and that's a better excuse than Joe's*...
Lately, though, he's run into the wall of intolerance the side he thought he was on imposes to make everyone Obey and Shut Up. And being told to shut up...bothers him.
Multiple stories about the kind of racist monsters they falsely accuse you of being.
It's Nazi propaganda, and Soviet propaganda, and Democrat Party Propaganda, using hatred to divide and rule. The only difference is the language used and the self proclaimed identity/victim status of the hater.
They just cycle the Old Lies, "run all the banks"... "Pollute the bloodlines"... "Eat babies"... With a heavy dose of reality/history denial and they can kiss my shiny metal...
Whisperstrealth, would you prefer I quit referencing history and current events? Like the parallels between 5th century Religious doctrine and the Public Identity fads and protests today?
Or is it the TASS repeater who demonstrates Orwellian mind control about the excuses of a dictator for genocidal war?
Oh, and if you think I'm wrong, feel free to explain/argue your view in a rational way. It's always possible I'm wrong, unlike the Cult Leaders who Never, Ever are.
Like The Party Shills who insist Bidenflation is both good for you, and your fault for buying energy to keep your family from freezing to death.
Or the Rich celebrities that lecture you on consumption while they fly a private jet to the caviar bar at a resort town with prostitutes eager to take their Platinum Card, for the Virtue Signal Sweepstakes.
China's half built cities and the onrushing economic crisis.
The comments here are as interesting as the article, imho.
More steel and concrete stolen by crooked builders than the Industrial Revolution in Europe produced.
There's plenty of videos leaking out of China showing the massive apparent building being knocked down. And more showing Tofu-dreg construction, where the mostly sand concrete can be crushed by hand.
So those buildings have to be demolished to prevent them from killing people. That's not WHY they're being demolished, however. It's for taxes, cover up of fraud, and to manipulate the crashing real estate market. All with Trillion$ going into the offshore bank accounts of Chinese government officials. And their relatives and crime partners.
It's hard to get worked up over the fate of billions of Chinese workers in deep shiznit over the Grand Theft Regime problems they face. But that's until the "short victorious war" fantasy takes hold of desperate despots, and they try to "stem the tide of revolution" with patriotic distraction.
In Russia's case, it led to ignominious defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, which many consider to be a tipping point into the fall of the Czar, long bloody civil war & Communist hell of the second most murderous regime in human history, which conquered half of a ruined Europe... And helped create the Soviet's greatest Enemy, by changing the course of WW1.
Today, here, the problem is a brutal Chinese dictatorship, which is reaping the rewards of really bad policies and ideology, like the One Child Policy.
Yes, periodically some government bureaucrats are charged with corruption and executed, but everyone assumes that's just a ploy to pretend the Regime cares, ( true! ) and that the disgraced were probably chosen because they got greedy and didn't give Xi his cut. ( speculation, but... Darn likely )
When China announced the 3 Gorges Dam, I was reminded of the Aswan Dam in Egypt, and it's effects on regional power.
But a better understanding might be if New York decided to build a dam on the Hudson river just north of Albany, creating an artificial lake bigger than Lake Mead, with zero consideration of the consequences of failure on the Big Apple. With Governor Kathy's donors getting the contract and using the Tofu-dreg contractors to build it...
I hate to tell the article's author that Taiwan doesn't need to nuke such dams. You just need to throw the wrong switches and wreck the controls. Bolt cutters...
Both Joe* and Donald spoke their minds on this subject. Trump hasn't changed his opinion. Joe* lies about it.
Ironically, I agree with Joe's* Meet The Press statement, and Donald's "law of the land, leave it alone"...
I'm pro-"civil union with equal legal rights and responsibilities as traditional marriage " . And don't care if the word marriage is used or not, I understand both sides of that argument.
So I'm against Obama's pre election Lie about his position on Gay marriage.
Feel free to have your own opinion. That's the difference between leftists and patriots.
You're right, that's so stupid it must be RINOs trying to set up an excuse for Joe* to use a carefully edited video SOTU instead of in person. Plus advertising the SOTU, and pushing sympathy for Joe* in hopes he defeats the Greatest Enemy of Our Democracy ( reg trademark DNC ) & Establishment Republicans.
Me, I've been saying since Obama was elected and they quit doing legal budgets as required by law, and substitute Continuing Resolutions to spend whatever they want without admitting it. That no bill passed since 2008 is legitimate.
