I certainly remember the big fanfare back in the early 70's when Nixon "opened China." Since then countless American jobs have been sacrificed to cheap labor from China. The end result is the destruction of the American middle class while we subsidize the creation of some semblance of a Chinese middle class.O Really wrote: Thu Aug 22, 2024 12:25 pm These guys know they're just playing in their own minds with imaginary characters and magical events, don't they? Little kids will dress up in capes and pretend to be super-heros, but they know they're just playing and don't confuse their game with reality. Medieval and civil war re-enactors have elaborate costumes, extensive planning, and a lot of fun, but few if any really believe they actually are the characters they play. Think these people don't know they're playing pretend? https://vistavikingfestival.com/
It may be fun to demonize the opposition with obvious hyperbole, but they don't really think Walz is a communist, do they?
BTW, there have been anti-gouging laws on the books for years, particularly around disasters like hurricanes, fires, etc. applying to groceries, if actually feasible, wouldn't be precedent-setting. Many places have restrictions on how much/quickly rents can be increased. But if they want to talk about actual "price controls" they have to go back to the only administration that has done that in peacetime, and it wasn't a Dem. Of course, Nixon would probably be considered a commie now since he facilitated trade with Chinese.

Are these simpering assholes still jerking each other off? IS the little girl who calls herself Solar still swinging her strap-on around?
People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

I only visit when someone else links something special. Solar has been dying with leukemia for 3 (?) years now. Still as wingnutty and hateful as ever, if not as prolific.Boatrocker wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2024 3:07 pmAre these simpering assholes still jerking each other off?

Little girls are smarter and tougher.

Why would he deserve a spot at the top? Other than possibly a temporary celebration that a scummy person has left this place.1 CAT FAN wrote: Wed Mar 05, 2025 12:35 pm Y'all gonna have a spot at the top for Solar too. Hear he's just as much of an anonymous asshole as you all.

Umm, the Founders created a robust democratic republic designed to encourage dissenting views. Fascist Solar despises democracy and would have Big Brother violently suppress opponents. The Founders would be disgusted with Solar.Solar wrote:Me too. I know the people want blood, they want executions, I want serious retribution.T Hunt wrote:![]()

I cannot see the left mounting any kind of serious opposition at this point.
I am a bit disappointed though, I really wanted to see what trump had up his sleeve.
Will Trump allow it? I guess we can hope, or maybe he'll leave it in the hands of our Founders, they'd have shot them.![]()
