There's a HUGE difference: Japan in the 80s was a bubble economy, the whole thing was built on a Ponzi scheme that crashed in 1989. For 25 years afterwards they had a zombie economy with zero percent interest. China is a major economy that was held back for four decades by a mass murdering Marxist government. Imagine Taiwan today, and that's what China should have been by now.
China isn't "moving" the peasants, they're moving themselves because that's where the money is. Even today there are parts of rural China that are still medieval. Oxcarts and hay bales.
Nope! Stop with the narrative, it's false. Didn't you get the memo? The funniest part it is your own high priest of Global Warming who said this.
The fact is that even if every American citizen biked to work, carpooled to school, used only solar panels to power their homes, if we each planted a dozen trees, if we somehow eliminated all of our domestic greenhouse emissions, guess what - that still wouldn't be enough to offset the carbon pollution coming from the rest of the world.
f all the industrial nations went down to zero emissions...it wouldn't be enough, not when more than 65 percent of the world's carbon pollution comes from the developing world.
Oh, the irony. A far leftist, suddenly concerned with what's happening in flyover territory. Funny how there's such concern in the last 72 hours, when, before, all you had was laughter and abuse. Oh wait, that's all you have now, too. Nothing but blistering abuse for the ignorant proles who are too stupid to follow your leftist enlightened ways. Here's a video you need to watch. It concerns why you lost, and will continue to lose in the future.

Well, it's a good thing that Trump wants to bring those factories back home where we can keep an eye on them. Plus, think of all the other good effects from making our own products again. Good thing Hillary the crooked globalist didn't win, eh? Her idea was to go ahead with TPP and shove even MORE globalism down our throats. Hurrah for democracy!
Every country deports its illegal residents. How did someone even stay here for 14 years illegally? Where on Earth was the enforcement? Moreover what was the mother doing, putting her family at risk like that? Mexicans are proud of being Mexican, and as we all saw, they hate Trump and most Americans. The rallies made that quite clear.
Allowing more Muslims to live in America is just going to result in more violence against gays. It doesn't benefit Americans, why would we do that?
Couldn't you have said that, like, ages ago? But no, you couldn't because it was SO satisfying to tell other people that they're stupid and they don't matter. It took electing Trump to get you to listen to reason. NOW you want everyone to be unified, when you spent the last few years doing everything yo could to divide us, especially along racial lines? Good job, assholes.
I can't believe what gigantic babies they are. What, did they expect that for the rest of their natural lives, that they would win every single election, ever? Apparently so.
And now, that their side lost, instead of moving forward, they are bawling like infants and want to quit. We saw this with Brexit as well. Highly educated people, professionals, and they just pitched a shit-fit because they lost. I couldn't believe the rage that Ph.D's were capable of. But they sure can lecture everyone else about how we have to accept it when things go their way.
Are you kidding me? Citation needed. We already know for a fact that the Clinton Foundation and Islamic State receive funding from the same people. How much more proof do you need?
The PRI in Mexico rigged elections for 80 years using nothing but paper ballots. Plus, this election we NEED the voting machines to keep a dangerous fascist demagogue out of the Presidency. If it were up to the American people, they'd elect him and we'd all be screwed. Be careful what you wish for...
To this generation, the vast majority of institutions and people who have found themselves in positions of authority have shown themselves to be deeply corrupt and generally rotten to the core.
You don't see the bias because you agree with it. It definitely exists. The entire MSM is on board with Hillary.
Maybe it's time for you to leave America? It seems you're really not a good fit with us. We want to rule ourselves, while you want us to be ruled by heartless oligarchs. I suggest France, that's always a popular destination. Or Venezeula, you can go and see what real leftism is like when it gets power and refuses to give up. Just bring a suitcase of antibiotics when you go, we wouldn't want you to lose a leg because you got a scratch.
As opposed to the pro-Hillary mainstream media who aren't even getting paid for their work? How can you possibly say objective when the entire MSM is united under Hillary? They submit their stories for vetting before publication, for fuck's sake! It's like a banana republic or China!!
DAMN that is a horrifying indictment of the Hillary campaign. She's been exposed repeatedly as a corrupt pol, her top aide Huma has turned against her to save her own skin from jail, and Wikileaks, hero of the Left, has been ceaselessly attacking her for well over a year. Who could possibly vote for her at this point?
Trump is like an emetic for the American republic. He's the best thing that could happen. Just think of all the positive effects. Under Hillary, the press will remain a government lapdog, submitting their stories for vetting before publication. Under Trump, investigative journalism will wake form its odd 8 year slumber that started under Obama. Under Hillary, the Constitution will be further shredded by her Supreme Court appointees until it means nothing. Under Trump, the Left will bizarrely find meaning in this document drafted by whites and use it to bash the government by whatever means necessary. We really don't realize just how destructive it is to our Republic for the press to be working hand in glove with the government like it has been for the past 8 years. It's high time they were in opposition again.
The fact that Sweden is doing something is pretty much proof positive that we should do the opposite. There is no need whatsoever to follow where radical leftist environmentalists want us to go. They are never satisfied when they achieve their demands, they just move the goalposts and start again. They won't stop until we are all shivering in the dark.
True, the press is free to report whatever they want. However, in practice, they are hugely biased and only report what they want us to see. The current election has caused them to drop the last pretense of reporting the news as it happens and go full Hillary. CNN is the Clinton News Network. The other mainstream media are all solidly behind Hillary as well. Don't think the people haven't noticed, because we have.
The last 8 years of Obama we have had a pro-government media which is a great tragedy. There are so many administration officials that are obviously corrupt and their scalps are ready to be nailed to the wall of journalists' offices. They won't investigate, because they're simpatico with Obama's left-wing politics.
Which is worse, a press repressed by a government, or a free press that refuses to report stories because they might be helpful to the enemy political party?
I'm curious: who is Trump supposedly going to start this nuclear war with? Russia? Over what? It's Obama who got us into the whole Syrian conflict in the first place and caused Russian intervention. China? The Politburo is a bunch of engineers, you couldn't start a nuclear war with them if you tried. North Korea can't get their nukes off the ground.
On the other hand, Hillary has a proven track record of involving the USA in wars. The Libyan Civil War was pretty much her project and look how well that turned out.
Are we ignoring that we know for a fact that the system is rigged? Hillary screwed Bernie out of the nomination. Again, we know this for a fact. We also have Democrats on tape discussing how they're going to cheat in the election. Hillary is a crook and this is how she does business. Are we really going to expect that during the most important event of her life, she's going to suddenly do a 180 and stop cheating?
And since Donald Trump is literally Hitler, why wouldn't the Democrats engage in massive voter fraud? If you could take a time machine back to 1932 and cheat in the elections that resulted in Nazis in power, wouldn't you? Or I should say, wouldn't you have the responsibility to cheat, and failing to do so would be unethical? Handwaving it away with "DURR HURR CONSPIRACY THEORY" is just stupid, it's not paranoia when they really are out to get you.

Amazing. Trump elected, and you're STILL in denial. What's it going to take to wake you people up and make you realize what you've become?
Couldn't you have said that, like, ages ago? But no, you couldn't because it was SO satisfying to tell other people that they're stupid and they don't matter.

Democracy is awesome.

Obama is encouraging illegals to vote in our election. I love the part about voter fraud being extremely rare. What a laugh. Ever been to Chicago?

If Putin wanted to influence American politics, why didn't he just donate to the Clinton Foundation?

Running your own DNS server will protect you from most internet garbage.
Why is this? DNS just resolves IPs, do ISP DNS get hacked and redirected all the time?
