They used taxpayer money to help the original investors into Argentina who invested a few years ago. It went to wall street.

Jan 6 was a brazen attempt at a coup. It was Mike Pence who refused to break the country for the narcissist's demands - which was the only reason Biden could be sweared in. We were very close to a third world level coup thanks to Trump

You miss the point too. Congress is going to have a tough time imposing this groupthink - because it would take convincing 217+ reps and 60 senators as opposed to the unitary 1 person.

This is not a government issue. It is a Republican government issue. Democrat governments don't seem to purge information. Republicans are so infantile that they literally display a picture of an Autopen instead of Biden as President

Yes, your assessment is accurate. The Republic is broken and the Republicans are actively breaking it as much as they can.

Yep, they don't. That's why these demands are bogus coming from the president. If they were to come from Congress, they'd never pass as they stand because these entities would demand their elected reps don't let this pas

Yes, they are not objectively "reasonable" that's why I added the "- if they came from Congress" part. And I can't imagine Congress would pass these rules because of the Senate structure. "Reasonable"

They are not objectively "reasonable standards". Who said they are objectively reasonable standards? They are standards sent by a unitary. They might seem reasonable to one person but not to another. This is why Congress is suppo

When requested by the executive under threat of cutting funding, these requests are not requests, they are demands. When executive demands something of private citizens and private entities, it means they are bossing over said people/e

These are all reasonable standards - if they came from Congress. They are not reasonable standards if they came for a fickle and corrupt mafia at gunpoint. The entire no kings protest is exactly about that - executive overreach overriding w

Yep. The bad faith argument is completely normalized by them. It's liar-town. Untrustworthy people.

The entire platform of republicans have been devious misinformation. Constant lying, every single day. For the inevitable downvoters - explain your support of lies instead of downvoting.

It took long because during the last Trump era, lenders figured out a neat trick - extend the loan terms to 7 years instead of the conventional 5. That, and the low interest rates hooked people. This exaggerated during the pandemic with peo

Oil, gas, and coal lobby had lined up republican pockets prior to last election. This is their return on that investment.

While in understand where you are coming from, I don't think we should completely destroy coal mines. They should be kept around as a backup. That said, I would be 100% onboard with a future administration applying a massive tax on the

And Trump is putting people in concentration camps AND riling p[eople up with hateful rhetoric. By almost all measures, Trump is worse than Xi. The only reason Trump's rhetoric is pared down is because of the American system - which re

Lots of problems in China. But if I were a betting person, I would bet they'll fix their problems far better than America because of 3 reasons 1. They care about citizens more than billionaires 2. They are not obsessed with partisan an

If anyone thought China's gain in the last 20 years was rapid, they have no clue what it would look like by 2028 - thanks to a self-inflicted damage by Republicans.
