    Wow, and if there is a crash the "train wreck president" jokes will write themselves.
    It would still be tragic, though.

    You guys are missing the point. Fox breaks news that the government doesn't have. That's what makes the Trump Presidency special, it has an unparalleled information advantage.

    I am surprised that you didn't know that.

    To me, there’s a massive tension within conservative veneration of Reagan when it comes to the events of 1989.

    1. Socialism is a terrible economic system that will ruin a nation.
    2. It wasn’t the systemic problems of the USSR’s demand economy that caused its collapse, it was the defense buildup of the 1980s.

    I don’t see how those two things go together. To me, you have to believe one or the other.

    Logic is just librul trickery that red blooded Americans know to stay away from.

    A librul? "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one." Sounds like a commie to me.

    Star Trek was created to destroy Christianity, by creating a godless future that was appealing and believable. The Elders of Zion financed Rodenberry, and selected Shatner and Nimoy for the show's two lead roles.

    But you knew that already.

    Socialism is spread out around Europe
    Capitalism is only possible to flourish in a country with low humane values

    The thing is in a long run USA unfortunately will have a huge fall.It already has.Why?

    Cos USA economy will not be able to survive the huge shift in energy production and its dependency on oil exploit is the reason for huge industrial boom and at the same time will be USA's downfall

    While countries like European ones are slowly shifting towards the new energetic system USA already suffers gravely.the standards since i am here at least have lowered drastically

    At this point USA is wayyyy back economically compared t half of EUROPE.While entire Europe has universal health care and very good education system USA is getting ready to cut the one they have in half.

    The social unrest in case of crisis will be huge here.And we all know it is coming

    Refusal to shift to clean energy will cost USA a lot.Obama did something amazing trying to follow the rest of the world trend but now this gov is not only revoking all of that it is also taking te country back 20-30 years

    They will have to depend on war and salvaging foreign goods.i am wondering whats the next target.

    While countries like China are slowly purchasing USA economy USA is hoping for magical turn of events to save the Economy.

    Its impossible.the only way all this can keep up is OIL.And OIL is dying everywhere.

    So the only way there is not any social unrest is cos of propaganda and delusion that USA is the best place to live at.

    For comparison Austria has 6-7 weeks off a year.14 monthly salaries ,universal medical care,universal Schooling system while we are selling kidneys for iphone 10 and work 70h a week.

    Its ok to have a system where only the strong prevail but in a system like USA unrest eventually will be fatal.while in socialism it will be different case.

    USA infrastructure is also suffering while the rest of the world is wayyy ahead.

    Russia was surf-dome (practicaly slavery) for its entire existence.they are used to system like that.but they saved Europe 3 times so far and were on the verge of losing their country in the WW2.They will take back many parts of USSR back and rightfully so.and they will establish an empire that in a long run will over run USA.it will take a long time but Russia and China in my eyes are the new big daddies in the world.now that is right wingerism.it works in these countries cos its embedded in their culture.If they were not communist they would have lose WW2.USSR afte ww2 realized that they don't have the population for the land they have so they must keep the people tight till they establish their power.And that is ideology.It must be done for Russia.it does not work in every country tho.Dame with China who has lot better ruling system.maybe best in the world.

    Trump admires these systems but this wont work in a world where entire country is a Communist runaways in the world and rest of ejects of totalitarian systems.

    But its possible in a place where people are completely uneducated about history and the world orders.Ask Americans about other Comunism or Socialism they have zero clue what it is but if its not democracy its probably bad .The reality will hit them hard one day.Thats the thing.

    Sorry for the long rant

    Was this from Trump University? No mention of Afghanistan? The Soviets didn't collapse until Gorbachev started opening up the country and economy and Reagan had nothing to do with it.

    Obama did!


    The Hill: "Poll: Obama is America's most admired man for the TENTH year in a row. Obama beat out TRUMP, the Pope, John McCain, Telsa CEO Elon Musk and others".
    Like I said before, you will NEVER measure up to Real President Obama. You're not even worthy to clean his toilets. #SAD

    Well good point. I just looked it up, it's not Trump or Liberty, but it is a military college. So let's just say it isn't predisposed to librul interpretations of history.

    Shit, I remember when I was in university 20 years ago, and the experts were still sifting though documents, there was quite a bit of discussion that the Soviet economy was already failing in the mid, or even early 1970s. And the academics studying that were saying that the CIA's numbers should not be believed because they were basing their numbers off the official reports. And low and behold, the academics were correct. Because they were there and saw what was really happening. And because the Soviet economy was not diverse.

    The left helped to dig its own rhetorical grave on this subject. The left strongly resisted the right's criticism of the Soviet Union, including the suggestion that the Soviet economic system was fundamentally broken. (Take it from somebody who grew up surrounded by Berkeley lefties.) They never thought the Soviet Union was paradise -- this was the Seventies, not the Thirties -- but they didn't think things were all *that* bad over there. That kind of talk was right-wing propaganda.

    So if you believe that, and then the Soviet system collapses during a Presidential administration that makes a point of trying to squeeze the Soviets .... well, you can see where that is going.

    Your second point is really 4 points.
    1 - The systematic problems
    Yes the Soviet Union had very systematic problems, across all sectors the economy apart from military manufacturing.​
    2 - the demand economy
    The economy had a mismatch of supply/demand, but also had other logistics issues, such as meeting real needs (as opposed to the official needs written and met on paper). To solve that there was the explosion of the black market in the 1970s​
    3 - the cause of collapse
    I know you are simplifying for this purpose, but it was not just the economy which caused the collapse. The Soviet Union was bereft of social and political ideas.​
    4 - defense "buildup"
    I love how this is always brought out, ignoring the proxy wars which had been ongoing for the previous 30-40 years. "But the nuclear weapons" they say. As if both countries didn't already have enough to destroy the planet.​

    5 - I guess, the 1980s is also a point.
    This is something that a lot of people seem to miss, and seem to all of a sudden look at the 1980s and being different. The difference was, in part Reagan's focus, but a lot had to do with Gorbachev's change of priority. And a lot of people don't know that Gorbi was the first leader since 1933 (or 1927, depending on what you interpret/read) who was not Stalin or promoted via Stalin. But those same people don't know that the systemic problems of the Soviet Union went back to the ousting of Khrushchev, if not before. ​

    You would think eventually these guys would learn it goes down in the DM until some just as thirsty THOT puts your business on blast, but they're not even trying to keep the thirst on the low.

    Melania Trump tweets Christmas selfie




    While I don't think the picture itself necessarily tasteless, I see the unequal treatment given when FLOTUS posts a selfie and Michele Obama has a picture in sleeveless attire.

    The bold seems like a straw man, who makes that argument? (ok thinking about it, there are probably lots of people in fox news or other right wing media that may make that argument, so it may not be a straw man).

    I don't get it, why can't it be both (if we exclude the bold), increase military spending is part of the plan in the demand economy right?

    I am not saying the Regan people are right, to me both points you made seem legit and not mutually exclusive (if we take out the bold).

    This one must've been written for her:

    Santa baby, slip a Don Jr-shot sable under the tree for me
    Been an awful good girl
    Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
    (Won't report you to the feds so don't fright)
    Santa baby, a space convertible too, light blue
    I'll wait up for you, dear
    Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

    Think of all the fun I've missed
    Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed (esp. The Orange One)
    Next year I could be also good
    If you'll check off my Christmas list

    Santa honey, I want a yacht and really that's not a lot
    Been an angel all year
    Even though the hubby fears those Haitian queers
    Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

    Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
    To a platinum mine
    And Mar A Lago would be fine
    Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

    Santa baby, and fill my stocking with a Trump Tower duplex and checks
    Sign your YUUGE 'x' on the line
    Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

    Come and trim my Christmas tree
    With some decorations bought at Tiffany
    Then I'll chop it down
    Cause it blocks my view of D.C.
    I really do believe in you
    Let's see if you believe in me

    Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
    I don't mean on the phone
    The one Donald bought is zirconia
    Made by slaves in Zambonia
    Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
    Hurry down the chimney tonight
    Hurry, tonight
