US politics - never go full Project 2025 (part 8)

The US fixation that Capitalism is the only way. The Vance narrative that it enabled him to transform from a hillbilly through the so called free market system to be elected as VP of the most powerful country in the world.
In his ignorance he refers to Chinese peasants manufacturing the goods that America should be making.
Chinese Government economic reforms delivered millions of Chinese from poverty, gave them stable housing and food, upgraded their skills from manual labour, enabled an estimated 700 million to become members of a middle class in less than 2 decades.
(And he doesn’t inquire about Xi’s rise to power from humble beginnings)

I did watch an interview with a Chinese representative. When pushed by the American interviewer how will China survive without the US.

His message was basically:
China has been around for 5,000 years. It has existed many years before America. We plan to be here for another 5,000 years. We don’t care what America does.

Shouldn’t anyone saying the opposite of what the court decision was, be held in contempt? At least be held to a suppression order?

I’m sure as ■■■■ think if a murderer was found guilty and their lawyers or family came out after and said he was cleared by the judge, they’d be in contempt.

“Wow, Donald’s really undermining us out there guys, should we do something…like, is there something in those books over there, precedents or statues or something?” “Well we did rule that he could do absolutely anything and get away with it, soooooo…” “Love to nut this out but Ginny and I are due at the airfield for another of Harlan’s strategic shindigs y’all”

I dunno how you guys are missing the correlation here.

It’s a mystery how it’s affecting the Yanks this way, but Essendon not winning a final for 22-years is a powerful force in mental stability and cognitive processes. Just look at the game-day thread.

Also when they banned leaded petrol! Unbelievable!

Trump admin going full anti-autism, anti-anti-semitism, anti-semi-autism, anti-vax, anti-every other country. I wish they’d just stay out of people’s lives and allow them their freedom to believe, do and say whatever they want.

I bet if there was a party like that they’d canter in.

Ya could be onto something there @Soulnet

The inception of Bomberblitz, the increase in autism, a decrease in vaccinations, and Essendon not winning a final.

Coincidence? I think not.

1 in 31 is 2.8% which sounds pretty reasonable to me.
