Impossible. Markets were up this week because Trump promised the Straight would be opening soon

I’ve lost track. Is this guy a Evo stan or one of the American crooks we’ve been trying to install for the last 20 years?

Crazy that you can’t get a fair election in a country captured by American corporations.

It’s the plot of a number of Dickens novels.

Incidentally, when Charles Dickens was 12 years old, his father was thrown into prison for debt. Charles was forced to leave school and work ten-hour days at a boot factory in order to help support his family.

Colonial empires love imposing debt bondage on minority communities as a means of justifying wage slavery. Also as a form of collective punishment.

Also incidentally… The United States is stealing Afghanistan’s money.

Specifically, it has sequestered $3.5B of the $7B in the New York Federal Reserve branch owed to the Afghan Central Government, to be paid out to families of the 9/11 attacks. The remaining $3.5B is untouchable by the current government as well. And sanctions prevent Afghans from accessing global credit and trade, blocking them from doing business with neighboring Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbeckistan, and China.

The bankruptcy and trade sanctions mean Afghans can’t import relief aid or supplies for capital improvements. And the article illustrated the end results.

One Million Henry Cuellars To Defeat Donald Trump

Banning harmless things because a dictator doesn’t like them

What if they’re banning harmful things?

Sometimes I get the sense that people on this site are crypto-libertarians fully invested in Market Based Social Darwinism.

Okay, but wouldn’t an authoritarian government that prohibited the sale of weapons for genocide be just as bad as one that directly orchestrated the sales?

To quote a wise man:

There is absolutely no difference between good and bad things. You idiot. You imbicile.

These countries can’t collapse fast enough.

It’s a Shepherd’s Tone headline. Taken at face value, I have to assume 110% of the county is illiterate and scores are expected to get twice as bad by the end of the year.

Here’s a jpg of a graph with no citations and a poorly defined X-axis. Please go be Doomers in the comments now. Don’t forget to point at a generational cohort and blame them for everything

Trump has actually been convicted of felonies

What was his sentence for these convictions?

I’ve been hearing “Lock Her Up” from Trumpies for over a decade.

Been hearing plans to arrest Putin for at least as long.

Vladimir Putin will see the inside of a jail cell a week after Hillary Clinton does.

Kamala lost because her policies were fascism light

Okay, but that’s better than fascism, right? So stop criticizing fascism lite! It’s only hurting the opponents of fascism!

Well… okay, maybe the police and prosecutors that Kamala Harris organized during her time as California AG hurt the opponents of fascism a bit more. But that was before we had a dang Cheeto in the White House. So, let bygones be bygones and focus on the future.

I voted blue but completely get why people wouldn’t

I will be very angry at you anyway. If you upset even a single independent voter on the fence about voting for Kamala, you have committed Word Crime against the cause of the Stopping Trump.

lessor of two evils is still evil

That’s exactly what a Russian would say. I’ve outed you as a nefarious FSB superagent here to bring down American Democracy and turn us into a nightmare hellscape of Soviet Style Communism, which is what Russia is right now.

Under Communism the legislature will be an API.

Please, for the love of god, I am begging you. Read Fanshen
