    The EU has 511 million people. Never did I know that 0.9% was "widespread". But gosh, journalists are in favor of it so the use value judgments in their coverage. They're not fact reporters, they're political activists.

    Childish bully? Seriously? Educated people actually still believe that nonsense? Pff. Let's ask Saint Bernie Sanders what he thinks:

    "Trump took on the Republican establishment, he took on the Democratic establishment, took on the media establishment and he ended up winning the election to become president of the United States. And that is an extraordinary accomplishment. And it talks about perseverance, it talks about very strong political instincts, it talks about a way to connect with people. So I give Donald Trump his due."

    It's just that it's so emotionally rewarding to call Trump names. You know what's childish? Name-calling.

    Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. CNN is still fake news. You know how you called it a "tirade"? Yeah, that's a value judgement, just like the fake news uses.

    You seriously believe the mouth breathers in state governments have the education necessary to do research and arrive at correct decisions? Federal government workers are often graduates of prestigious universities who are capable of making the hard choices. A bachelor's from State U doesn't qualify anyone to govern. Or at least that's what I had pounded into my head during the Obama years. Was this true?

    Because it's stupid to have 50 different standards when one will do? And the state level government officials are morons, unlike the smart people who gravitate to federal service? Jesus I heard this again and again during the Obama years when power after power was piled into the US government. What happened? Is this one of those "we have always been at war with Eurasia" things where the Left flips and refuses to acknowledge its previous stance?

    Boy, a representative government really sucks, eh? Better to rule by decree, that way those dumb legislators can't interfere. Especially when the executive leader is *right about everything*. Why is consultation even necessary?

    I always learned that states rights was an outdated racist concept that we killed off in the Civil War. Having 50 standards was wrong when having one standard made much more sense. The state level bureaucrats got substandard educations from State U instead of the elite Ivy League and as such were unqualified to govern effectively. Now suddenly states rights is progressive and having 50 different standards designed by morons is a good thing? Am I the only one experiencing cognitive dissonance here?

    Trump surrounded NK with carriers and flew bombers off the coast. Moreover there are hard hitting sanctions that are harming Kim's ability to keep bribing his generals. This could have been done decades ago, but globalists find North Korea useful as a source of tension. The fact that millions suffer means nothing to them. Trump brought Kim to the table, but naturally nobody wants to give him credit because he's Hitler.

  14. I've worked in both, and government is worse. People do not feel the consequences of their actions. If you think it's like that in the private sector, you're likely in an industry that does a lot of government work and has become indistinguishable.

    The entire reason the right is on AM radio is that they were banished there by the left wing media. They made sure all the good media that reaches millions were purified of dissenting thoughts. The right was marginalized all the way back to AM radio, a medium that hasn't been relevant since the 70s. And it appears that isn't even good enough, eh? Banish them from AM as well? Jesus.

    It's a slippery slope though. Once they start implementing leftist policies, they want to go further and further. It will never stop. Thing is though, there's a lot of ruin in a country. It takes decades to drive us off a cliff. But it'll happen as sure as it did in Venezuela.

    It's about a trust based society. Trust based societies are wonderful places to live. They're the nice places on the planet. People trust each other, and things are great because of it. Non trust based societies are shitholes. People will cheat each other without a second thought, and everyone suffers. When people from these societies come to ours, they think we're gigantic idiots and immediately set about ruining us with cheating, lying, scamming, and so on. They laugh because we're such idiots. You know, like you're doing now.

    A better word for that is stable. China is *all about* stability. Chaos is what they fear, and rightly so. They had quite enough chaos in the last 150 years and Trump's tariffs are threatening even more. China has had a free ride on American prosperity for the last 20 years and it's about to go away.

    Since when does China have any kind of tradition of Western "rights"? They're alien concepts.
