the way things are moving us foreign policy will surley be a history lesson in no time
It’s literally going to be impossible to create a curriculum for it considering how quickly it changes.

I mean, hell... yesterday he believed Russia and today he doesn’t.
 
I think I made my uncle mad at me :lol:

He posted a meme on FB calling out Bill, Hillary, and Obama for meeting with Putin saying "I didn't see liberals complaining when..."

I said...

"If Trump is supposed to be the antidote to the Clintons and Obama, why use them to defend him siding with Russia over our own Intel service yesterday?

That's textbook whataboutism"

He blocked me from his FB post AND responded to me knowing I couldn’t see it (from my account).

I looked from my wife’s and saw what he said. Then used hers to let him know I can still see it. :angel:

:lol::lol: how petty I love it!
 
Most Democrats are only a hop, skip and a jump away from them to be honest.

There is no political-left in America and there probably never will be. It's a broken country.

Correct. I alternate between thinking we have to change the democratic party because it's a two party system and you need electoral victories and thinking that its impossible for the Democrats to ever become an anti imperialist anti capitalist party because the people who run the party and the corporate overlords depend on it in it's current state.

Sounds like you need a third party. Dems are basically tories
 
The nomination/election of Democratic Socialists will be effective in taking over the party from within.
The DNC is fully aware of the power of the progressives.

The strategy should be to vote Democrat down ticket and only vote for President should socialist agendas be adopted.
The key to victory is the message that resonates for the vast majority followed by the messenger who carries it.
Single payer and free college tution will get the enthusiasm. A trustworthy condidate who brings this message will bring victory.

If the DNC has not already got the message from 2016 they never will.

2018 will be very indicative. I see positive signs. But the corporations are still trying to exert influence .

Being just anti-Trump will bring failure.

EDIT:

In Minnesota the DFL has endorsed Erin Murphy for Governor. She is for single payer statewide. We have a statewide exchange. This simply needs to be expanded to single payer.

I have had discussions with State legislature reps about their plans and am encouraged.

I like you even more now:lol:
I called my wife's aunt a racist but my wife made me delete it. Unfortunately her other aunt did and told her.
Then my wife got a phone call apologizing if I'd been offended. I won't repeat the words my wife called me but I found out Mrs Blaggs had picked up some English terms.
 
'And I helped create her'. Jesus...
It's only a matter of time until he claims to have won the World Cup.

Aye. Nothing will happen in America until people start killing politicians.

The irony being that the only ones nutty enough to kill politicians en masse are those that believe the current system is one that has their best interests at heart. That the rich white old men with off-shore bank accounts are fighting for them, and that the people wanting healthcare for all and equity for the marginalised are somehow deep state agents.

59% of Americans live in the same state that they were born.
40% remain in their home town

These people are not debating the state of their country online and mobilising themselves to fix things. They believe one thing. Many will be single issue voters and will vote the same way till the day they die.

America will never change it's spots. There may be some isolated 'wins' for seemingly left-leaning causes. A few signs on some toilet doors, some rainbow paint and the odd apology for using the wrong pronoun.

It's citizens will continue to be monetised to an extent that no other country would ever be able to come close to. (Nor would they want to) Neither Democrat or Republican will ever dilute that position.

Ouch. What was his retort? Were you destroyed by his logic bomb?
He told me I was “drinking the koolaid” and added some stuff about “look at the sanctions and how tough he’s been on them in Syria and the spy that got arrested”.

I responded from my wife’s account saying...

“If you’re gonna block me so you can make sure you get the last word, you should probably block my wife too.”

:lol: Kindred spirits, we.
 
"And guess what? It's full of...um...montes!"
 
Interestingly, it was Putin who was attempting to interfere in the latest Montenegro elections iirc.
Montenegro would be more than bold... no border to Russia, geographically very close to EU states. Don't know what is on Putins mind, hope i'm wrong.
 
Tucker Carlson is one of the dumbest human beings on the planet.
Spitting image of the frat boy “D is for degree!” types from university who knew they had 6 figures guaranteed no matter what because of who their daddy is, so who gives a feck if they study or not?

I want to punch them all in the balls.
 
I always thought of him as our very own Piers Morgan. Which is why I'm glad Piers Morgan got the f out of here.. Sort of. Freaking simple minded slime balls. Still get a chuckle when I think of Jon Stewart destroying the man on his own show.
They are both sycophantic cretins.
 
Pragmatism and and baby steps. I really don’t think you can expect a country with a spectrum skewed that far right to suddenly be open to progressive candidates all over the country.

The main problem you have is that while some states might be ready for socialist, progressive representatives, others are nowhere near so it’s got to be treated as a marathon rather than a sprint. If Clinton got in, for all her faults, the Dems would have had two liberal picks for SCOTUS. The impact that would have on politics for the next two decades is immeasurable and could have been a large factor in shifting the political spectrum back towards the left.

We share the majority of the same political views so I’m not criticising your ideals but I really do think you should show more pragmatism and look to the long term and the bigger picture.

Congress would have blocked her as long as the GOP controlled things, if I understand the process. And we'd be having real witch hunts trying to find any way to impeach Hillary. But at least she could have vetoed a lot of the shit Trumpistan has pushed through.
 


This made me chuckle.




If true we might see the end of Kelly...




I’m surprised we haven’t seen more journalists digging info on who the US interpreter was.

I fear the interpreter may be Dmitry Peskov, in which case we are all fecked.
