China is a giant bubble that was going to pop without the virus and I have a thread full of the facts.
Such economies only "work" for those who control them and they have a habit of breaking down even for them.
Hitler's Germany didn't exist very long so it didn't have time to show its problems, Anyone can live high on the hog for a while but their waste and misallocation of resources WILL catch up with them.

You have to be very deranged to believe Bernie is some sort of better option than Trump.
But you all are free to vote that way if you want to @juleswin, who constantly defends socialist failure nations.

3. Firestarter - Tax Troll; anti-tax = "criminal behavior"
4. TheCount - Comet Pizza Pedo Denier <-- sick
@Ehanced_Deficit's real agenda on RPF =troll:
Who spends this much time copy/pasting the same recycled links, photos/talking points.
7 yrs/25k posts later RPF'ers still respond to this troll
Behold the classic troll move: Claim that other people are doing what you yourself are doing. Against and in are not the same word, nor do they have the same meaning. Pretending that I said one when I said the other is exactly what you are claiming that I did Wormtongue.
Just slither away on your belly, you've done your work in this thread. There are other lies to be told in other places, I'm sure.
You are the one projecting.
You know very well that a "Preemptive Strike" is not what Trump did and is required to be IN the country targeted. (or perhaps on the high seas)
You tried to change definitions and equate things that are not the same and then when I forced the conversation back to the real definition you accuse me of what you did.
Go ahead and explain what you are talking about and how it is supposedly the same thing.

He will be a figurehead. He can't get any of his measures passed domestically because the Democrats in congress are to the right of him. But maybe he'll really pull troops out of ME and stop kowtowing to Israel. He is immunized against the antisemite charge because he is Jewish. Sort of a Nixon in China thing.
Calling MAGA a compliant plant of foreign-firster lobbies (non-parasitic wing) goes too far. That said, I would concede that ZOA wing of neoconservatives and war champions seems to have great chemistry with him.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that President Trump "keeps getting policy that's not his policy" because he has surrounded himself with hawkish advisers who "disagree" with the president's instincts to withdraw the U.S. from the Middle East.

That is not to suggest that these 'peace deals' /summits are designed to fail and are PR stunts/ fake wrestling for show. Or that MAGA and Cheneys high five each other in private.
Also, while their arguments in this debate seem weak, overall ss and egans have in the past posted numerous informative reports on how globalist neocons lobbies with deep pockets buy/bribe US politicians for their nefarious war mongering agenda that serves interests of foreign parasite states. They are probably fiercely opposed to neoconservatives who have quietly slipped into GOPAites camp while most of the GOP base was being kept busy with painting 'lock 'er up' and 'drain the swamp' banners.

He will be worse than O'Bummer, he may not got everything he wants but he will get enough to destroy us.
Or maybe he will conduct a preemptive strike on Iran to prove he isn't anti-semitic, he's already talking about doing it.

Iraq War Resolution
United States House of Representatives. 215 (96.4%) of 223 Republican Representatives voted for the resolution. 82 (39.2%) of 209 Democratic Representatives voted for the resolution.
Dems - Party of big gummit, GOP- Party of small minds ?
There might be different kinds of manufacturing defects with each of the two major parties.
That said, I think Bernie is too nice a guy to take on top rated former businessman, reality TV/fake wrestling star and one of the best commuicators in chief in history with very well funded top donors (although donors could possibly defect if Bernie can make some pro Netanyahu/Likud promises that surpass excellent MAGA record on same front).
Actions speak louder than words and pre-election statements alone mean very little without evaluation based on total picture (follow the money factors, track records etc).

Has anyone seen any detailed reporting on what kind of prep are being made by US troops in Europe to defend our closest ally from Iran?
Wed March 4, 2020
(CNN)The American Israel Public Affairs Committee announced that some people who were potentially in contact with a coronavirus patient attended the group's Washington conference earlier this week -- as did several political leaders.
The annual three-day event, which ran from Sunday to Tuesday, attracts more than 18,000 people, according to the pro-Israel lobbying group's website. The news comes following confirmation earlier Wednesday of the 11th US death from the disease as the global toll of coronavirus deaths continues to climb into the thousands.
CNN reported last week that more than 60 US personnel who traveled to Israel for an exercise to train against regional threats such as Iran began returning to their bases in Europe on Friday at the request of the Israeli government after the exercise was canceled, although none of them were reported to be ill.

GOP-PS : National Debt Tops $26.5 Trillion, 2020 Deficit Could Hit $6 Trillion
PPP bailout: Kanye, Kardashian brand, Trump lawyer firm, Billionaire-backed club benefitedWhile much of small-gummit championing GOP conservative base is being entertained with "mask politics", Trump leadership on stimulus spending front is not being given much coverage by fakenews media. Powerful stimulus spending deployed in the MAGA Trump-Mnuchin led war against the "hoax" aka the "unseen enemy"; the biggest bailout in entire history of the US and perhaps the world by suspending small gummit/debt controls temporarily for the greater good.
Among others, MAGA social justice allies and billionaire backed members only club house benefiting that as a fringe benefit may also boost MAGA movement-Trump's commitment to social/racial justice, BLM, pro diversity causes.
Treasury reveals 700,000 of the companies and non-profits who got PPP bailout - with Kanye West's Yeezy company, Khloe Kardashian's denim brand and Donald Trump lawyer's firm among those benefiting
- Loans were through the administration's Paycheck Protection Program
- Meant to inject cash into the economy to prevent massive layoffs
- Sidwell Friends school got $5-$10 million loan
- Law firm of longtime Trump lawyer Marc Kasowitz also got one
- Kanye West's LLC Yeezy got $2-$5 million
- Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin had initially refused to name any recipients

The Trump Administration's coronavirus bailout program handed out up to $5 million to prop up Kanye West's production company while also pushing out funds to the law firm of Donald Trump's longtime personal lawyer, the Treasury revealed Monday.

Trump ally Kanye West joins BLM protests, donates $2 million to BLM organizations
June 8, 2020
Kanye West was a vocal supporter of President Trump, but now his support of Black Lives Matter has some music insiders scratching their heads and wondering if Kim Kardashian is behind it.
One source even told us Kardashian — who has become a vocal campaigner for criminal justice and prison reform — was the catalyst for him to act. West sprang into action last week, creating a college fund for George Floyd’s daughter, Gianna, and donating $2 million to BLM organizations. He also marched with protesters in his hometown of Chicago.

Not with a single bomb or bullet.
Now if you want to say killing their terror master in Iraq who was coordinating the attacks on Americans in various countries in order to put a stop to those attacks counts then you have to admit that they attacked us with their proxies in various countries and that means if there is a war they started it.

US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley (right) meets with Defense Minister Benny Gantz at Nevatim Air Base, July 24, 2020 (IDF)
The US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, made an unannounced visit to Israel on Friday, meeting with Defense Minister Benny Gantz, IDF chief Lt. Gen. Aviv Kohavi and Mossad director Yossi Cohen, along with other top brass.
The visit came at a time of heightened tensions with Iran and its allies across the Middle East, and television commentators speculated on the possible significance of the visit, particularly regarding the threat posed by Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah.
The Israel Defense Forces has raised its alert level along the northern border, concerned of a potential attack by the Hezbollah terror group after it accused Israel of killing one of its fighters in an airstrike outside Damascus on Monday night.

As U.S. Soldiers Deploy Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, They Fight Two Battles
June 17, 2020
FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — Edward Brown has always found a way to deal with his husband’s military deployments in the past, but the most recent one felt different. Instead of an endless parade of family visits and last-minute errands, Brown and Staff Sgt. James Clyde were holed up inside their Fayetteville, North Carolina, apartment watching Netflix and making TikTok videos.
When his mandatory two-week quarantine ended last Friday, Clyde made the short drive to Fort Bragg and boarded a plane for a nine-month deployment in the Middle East.
The 34-year-old is among 2,200 paratroopers assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division’s 2nd Brigade Combat Team deploying to Iraq and Syria amid the coronavirus pandemic. They’ll be supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S military battle to defeat the Islamic State.
