Funny how most of the US babyboomers here seem to finally pass out by 6pm US central time and the threads go quiet
People forget how long these Washington cronies have been around. I can't imagine actually wanting such a collection of fossils to lead.
Okiefreak has already passed out in his recliner, reading glasses slipped below his nose, half finished can of bud on the stand beside him, wife put a flanelette throw blanket over him so he doesnt get pneumonia
So Okie is actually around my age? Unless he was just fucking with me. I always thought he was older too until he corrected me one day
Trump's impeachment and Mueller's investigation slightly touched Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater. His men killed 17 Iraqi civilians downtown Baghdad, and got away with it. Prince was a go between with some Russian money man and the Trump organization. He was also closely associated with George Nader. His latest effort seems to be laid out in the open, after he offered his services to the Chinese government. Prince wants to take over the operations of prisons in China where a million Muslims are imprisoned … for being Muslim.
He could have taken the high road but..... Trump slams Democrats and Romney at prayer breakfast as Pelosi looks on - CNNPolitics Trump now believes he's untouchable.
Did you just seriously try and find a way to take a swipe at the current US administration for the internment of the Xinjiang Uyghurs instead of ...you....know.....errr...the Chinese Communist Party?
What a bizarre comment. I recently turned 31, and you are? Everything you said about me is your own erroneous fantasy. No bud (I don't drink--alcohol). I spent the evening with my MAGA buddies I have over every Thursday evening. I just can't get enough Trump talk on HF, so I have to bring Trumpsters into my home to continue it live! Time here is 11:00P.M. CST. I don't think Australia is on Central time, so I guess you must have gone to the trouble of looking it up. Did you miss me? I'm flattered. Were you assuming that because I wasn't responding to you, I'd gone to bed? Shows how socially deprived you must be. No wonder you spend so much time trolling the internet! No wife to cuddle with and tuck you in?
I think this thread can be locked now because nothing happened right? But if you're ever feeling low just remember how excited you were on the 19th December 2019.
I think you may be confused about the meaning of representative democracy. Representative democracy, as distinguished from direct democracy in which voters vote directly in referenda on policy measures (as in State Questions), involves voters voting for representatives who will make the policy decisions for them. I said "my ass" because the electoral college, extensive gerrymandering of electoral districts, and the uncontrolled influence of dark money make true representative democracy--or democracy of any kind-- a joke. BTW, it's almost midnight here. I really am going to bed!
I'd say if there's truth to the story that Prince wants to take over the operations of prisons in China where the Uyghurs are imprisoned, he would be complicit in the Chicom operation. And if Trump is involved (I don't say that he is) he might be complicit too.
It depends on what you mean by represented. If you mean that somebody who looks like you and is of the same age is making the decisions, you might not be well-represented by Joe. If you take a more Burkean view and feel represented by a person with extensive experience in government and who seems to be level-headed, there might be something to be said for Joe. Time now 12:14 a.m., CST VG. Nite, nite.
