"The House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted in favor of a resolution condemning socialism."

If those voting members were representing their districts, then likely they don't even know what they voted for or against.

Like the posters here who can't define socialism either, even though they throw the term around.

Oh, for the days when Babbles would rant against socialism while posting illiterately from the public library.

"He can run, but he can't hide."

--Joe Louis, words that reverberate down the ages

"According to the report, Rep. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA), who has rapidly become one of the most frequent stock traders on Capitol Hill."

I wonder if they teach insider trading in the same Intro to Congress class where newcomers learn they'll be tied to a phone eight hours a day fundraising for their next campaign.

---- flat earthers.

I forget who said, "Mama told me there'd be days like these. Just not so many of 'em."

65.

I know you don't like personal attacks, but I'm sorry. You're nuts and getting worse.

Man? Woman? Trans? Trans man? Trans woman?

I rely on HeliumRat for all my intergalactic content.

10. Seems like the contract was fulfilled, unless the investigators claimed the cash "for evidence."

FBI agents went to the artist's studio, and according to the complaint, obtained a receipt showing Greene had paid $500 for the cuts to be made on her body.

The boys in the lab, they're working in shifts!

Eberly: By "medicine" I was referring to a broad use of the term. surgery, hospitals, etc....not just "medicine".

For surgery, I refer you to pre-Columbian trepanation. European "doctors" were centuries later in mastering it.

And honestly, is it America's job to be the world's morality police?

Yeah, all that promotion of worldwide democracy and human rights has just been a hoax.

25.

"Developing medicine." Many medicines these days have natural substances at their root. Think Europeans came up with that?

"Music"? Fine, for an opinion. How much indigenous music do you listen to, from cultures around the world? I happen to listen to a good bit. Matter of taste, I guess. How much NA music survives in its original form. Sorry if percussion doesn't grab you.

"Developing maps." Gee, they didn't need them. Nor private property.

"The native Americans were wandering around dragging their stuff behind them." Sorry if their functional way of life didn't suit contemporary Eberlian standards.

7. Your BF command ran out before you got to the words "for free."

I'm tryin hard.

Whaddya want for nothin? Your money back?

"Potentially divisive."

Make America great again, like when Nazi sympathizers and pedophiles weren't part of the daily discourse, much less at the top of our government.

I'm sure some progressive fetishist would have been happy to slice her for free.

and MAJOR DEM CONTRIBUTOR NAMED JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Go back far enough and you'd likely find Trump was a major Dem contributor as well.

Before he realized he could pad his coffers forever by becoming a Republican.

Jefferson wanted to preserve the Native American language but kill all the people.

You can look it up.

The Native American was still stuck in a stone age when the rest of the world was entering an industrial revolution, and they would still be hammering rocks into tools if it weren't for Europeans.

"If it weren't for Europeans" . . . Oh my God, the list of horrors has filled myriad volumes and is only growing larger.

The Native Americans had a self-sustaining economy and a culture that lasted tens of thousands of years.

Yeah, boy, capital and development really improved the long-term outlook for the Americas.

None of this would be happening if these people had not come in this country without an invite.

One of the reasons these people came to this country was to avoid authoritarian regimes and banana republics.

I guess Trump's a master of the bait and switch, too.

So much winning.

They won't be invited to mine either.

Delusional:
In a psychiatric context, this term refers to a belief that is fixed and false, persisting despite evidence to the contrary.

MAGA: Trump's innocence.

That is, good that she was indicted. Regardless of party, all elected officials should be subject to the law.

Good.

What point is this supposed to make? Environmental concern is a binational bad thing?

Nature doesn't obsess over borders.

Boaz, every day you log in here, you're punching far above your weight. You should be admired on some level for that.

"Plus, these people are big behind a keyboard. In person, they are the cucks you would expect them to be." --Boaz

How would you do in a debate with any number of the liberal or moderate posters here, with the standards set by centuries of practice, not ABC or Fox News? Do you even know the rules?

5. Academic journals were explaining 15 years ago about Putin's desire to sow distrust in democracy wherever he could. Quite the success here.

The US did the same for communism (see Latin America) for years, but the Soviet system eventually brought down itself. One must imagine that CIA and NSA chicanery around the world continues and should be "getting better."

Do we suck at that, too? Is US shortsightedness always going to lose to a steady plan that unfortunately the truly autocratic institutions implement?
