    I once said Obama should deal more with our comrades in China, the soviet union, venezuela , Argentina and El salvador but I was labeled a commie by the usual suspects. Republicans labeled obama a communist for meetings with Xi and commissar putin.

    This has to be commissar Putin's greatest heist and the greatest heist in modern history. Putin's eleven! (photoshop coming soon)

    The funny thing is I still see the term "commie" for leftists by those that don't see beyond their noses.

    Watching an interview with the fmln president of El Salvador, Putin has offered nuclear energy and made the same offer to Argentina.


    All of this will influence the Mexican election, I think Comrade Obrador will finally get over the hump and claim the presidency which he got robbed of over a decade ago.
    Putin to Mexico is coming soon. (he is still not building a wall for silly americans.)

    It's arguable that everything was going just fine until Roseanne got cancelled.

    Well, this isn't really news. This has been in the works for half a century, while Trump is likely accelerating this, it's not like he started it.

    He's pouring gasoline on the fire and laughing sadistically while it burns.

    The 1% do not care. They can pack their bags with all of their tax returns and leave the country.

    Yeap

    Inequality was already bad prior to Trump. The elite and powerful doesn’t care but about their pockets.

    So...
    Hire the most elite of elites, the most greedy among them and somehow that would work? Not to mention, a total immoral, corrupt con man.

    The solution is better access to higher education, better access to health care, consumer protection, a stronger safety net, and yes, a fair trading system. But no, let’s blame immigrants, the Muslim, all trades, and just feel good. Who cares about less access to healthcare, education, weaker safety net, and a ballooning debt due mainly to gifts to the top.

    Generation Z is woke, will pull us out of the fire using insta and twitter.

    I'm only half joking.

    Liberals said Trump's presidency will basically be the end of the world. I have all the faith in Trump to maintain economic prosperity throughout his presidency. This UN hack is another naysayer who we have 0 trust in.

    The interesting thing is that as that has been happening extreme poverty has been declining rapidly. We are at the lowest levels of extreme poverty in human history.

    THE HORROR!!

    It's fine as long as it's a gold plated toilet for Russian prostitutes to do their business on.

    Whites only ofc
