American politics

Shall we compile a list of poor ex-Presidents?

I won't take long, it'll be a very short list.

Your point was that the Republicans will step in and stop him when he does things which only benefit him. My point was that they have stood idly by while he’s used his position to make billions for himself and his family.

Florida imams:“We are building a pipeline of leaders. I want the governor of Florida to be Muslim. I want Muslims in the House, Muslim senators.”“We don’t apologize about jihad. We are not afraid of jihad. Jihad is who we are.”

They are storing up the same problems in America that we have in Europe. The "progressive" left think that it is fine I think they will be in for a massive shock. The long hard fought rights for women and the gay community will be the first to go once these extremists get a hold on power.

At least they dont wave flags though, well they do but British or American ones so its ok. Again I am guessing most on here see no issues with this sort of thing.

Here’s hoping right-wing Trump cements his power. He’s all about LGBTQ+ and women’s rights.

Far more so then the Islamists that's for sure, better of the evils.

Its less ridiculous than the bs bravado she deserved it stuff you are posting.

Which, in turn, is less ridiculous than the "OMG, ICE just murdered a woman" fudgetardery that's going around.

No, my point was that the Supreme Court will.

If he tries to alter the rules for term lengths, it will end up in front of the SC (if it gets that far) and there are 5 justices (assuming no more die any time soon) that are not pro-Trump.

Yes, line them up side by side with the US (in its current guise).
And someone from China might see it differently. We view things thru a western lense.

Also, if the US 'allow' (haha) Venezuela to have a fair and open election to re-instate some form of democracy...and then that new government/leader wants to partner with China on oil etc ....then are they going to get a 'fair do's' from the US?

Ok, so let's start with a list of the bad that doesn't apply to the US:

Dictatorship
Communists
Censorship
Funding Iran
Funding Russia

That's not even close to comprehensive but more than enough reason.

Change the second to fascists and 1,2 and 3 are America.

And America aren't funding anyone? From the Chinese side they're not happy about that.

Besides the West are funding China....without a moments thought to any of this 'badness'

And...What is the guess on Venezuela....are they free to do as they please if they get their house in order.....or is this it for them now?
