  1. biological weapons on Google Has a Plan To Eliminate Mosquitoes Around the World (bloombergquint.com) · · Score: 1

    Big Brother Google gets more evil by the day. Now we see these self-righteous wannabe genocidaires planning to release a biological weapon, in hopes of wiping out a whole species.

    We call the faction who control Google "social just-us nazis" because they espouse censorship, racism, and militarism. So I guess it's not surprising that they are also enthused about causing animal megadeath. If these crazies are allowed to remain in power, it won't be long until they're building death camps for us deplorables.

    President Trump: Break up Alphabet now! Arrest Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Sundar Pichai. Arrest the wild-eyed nazis behind the mosquito megadeath plan. Senate hearings on all of Alphabet's secret mad science projects. It's time for some sunlight.

    STOP GOOGLE NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

    Sounds like your uncle is a traitorous scumbag who has sold out his own countrymen to make a quick buck.

    Here's a hint: Americans will gladly do ANY of these jobs. But you're going to need to pay a good wage, provide healthcare, follow OSHA safety regulations, obey labor laws, etc.

    I can already hear the bleating: "but muh profits!!". Well bro, if you can't turn a profit without using slave labor I guess you must really suck as a businessman. Shitty businesses go under and get replaced by businesses that CAN make a profit while playing by the rules.

    "This was not something that "just happened." It was planned"

    Yup, we agree on this: The gutting of America's industrial base, and the concomitant impoverishment of the working class, was not an accident. It was public policy for decades under both faces of the Establishment Party.

    "long hours working in dangerous situations with low pay"

    Pay was not low. You're right that no one wants to go back to a bad caricature of pre-union "satanic mills" dangerous factories and inhumane hours. Fortunately that's not the only way to run industry.

    What people are calling for is rebuilding our national industrial base. Yes, it will most likely be more automated and less labor intensive than in the past. That is not any sort of argument against it.

    Yes, the American people demand environmental protections. Which means our manufactured products will cost more than those is countries that despoil nature to save a few bucks. Environmental equalization tariffs will be needed when trading with pollution-happy partners. Sorry if that interferes with your liberturdian fantasy of "free" trade at any cost.

    "the bullshit you hear in Fox News"

    Sorry, broham, you're the only one here who watches TV news.

  4. "voted for Trump because of his promises to keep factories open"

    As opposed to Democrat promises to close every last remaining factory and ship all the machinery to China?

    "How much will China have to funnel"

    That's why the Chinese are so upset with President Trump. It turns out, you can't really bribe a billionaire real estate mogul TV star President who's married to a supermodel - what exactly are they going to offer him that he doesn't already have?

    It was so much easier for the Chinese back in the day. With Clinton and Bush all it took was a couple of discretely delivered suitcases full of cash. Obama demanded his suitcase full of cash, plus a few little boys - but give him that and he'd dance to whatever tune they named.

  6. And I remember when Democrats at least pretended to care about the interests of working people.

    Remind us again why America should give a flying fuck about the security of Western Europe? The Euros are always boasting about how rich and enlightened and wonderful Europe is. Maybe it's time for them to take responsibility for their own national security.

    No, we just don't care. We're sick of playing world policeman.

    All the time I hear Euros talking about how they hate America, want America to go home, etc. Well great, I'm all for that. You tough guys can start fighting your own battles. If Russian tanks roll into Berlin - hey, that's your problem. When the Chinese start blocking oil shipments to Europe - again, haha, that's your problem!

    American troops out of Europe now! Bring our boys home. Let's rebuild our own country instead of wasting trillions protecting a bunch of effete ingrates. Make America great again.

    Yup, that's the problem with Democrat partisans and similar Establishment running dogs: For twenty years Washington's public policy was to offshore our entire industrial base and utterly neglect our infrastructure. Thereby impoverishing our working people, severely hampering our ability to fight a defensive war against a symmetric enemy, and fostering a culture of despair. Apparently the Establishment - President Trump's political enemies - considered that a "win".
