  1. This thread has been going for three years now. What is puzzling is the fact, that apart from his enablers getting verdicts and having to face some serious consequences, the main goon has still managed to escape all efforts to dish out a vital conviction that Puts him into the place any  normal joe blow would have  been in no time

    They did what they had to do to get an agreement. Each of those colonies had to choose between independance, staying a colony or becoming part of a larger nation. Politics then and now is the art of compromise and the posible.

    As for the US compromise is not in sight

    Guess it's like the old Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times

    The percentage voting for right wing ideologies is high and getting higher, but at least in the US it's still far south of half.  Democrats have won the popular vote in the US for the last several elections....the electoral college is a great thing!

    long live the wisdom of the fathers of the constitution... /s/
    and there is no way to get rid of that one

    People get the government they deserve.

    To be more precise: everybody gets the government made possible by all the people who decide not to vote 

    And half (or more) of the voting populace voting for right wing ideologies. At least that has been the trend for the last 10 to 15 years worldwide...

    There is truth in that. When you get down to it about a third of the people will be voting for Trump. The other 2/3 s can stop him if they can be bothered to.

    And that holds true to any other country dealing or suffering from rightwing parties and governments. Which leads me to the thought that the American model of democracy is quite a success

  10. Even if is "old news" it is fairly unresting regarding the latets nazi-spouts from trump - after all it's not the third world but gods own home of the free

    what I lack in a greater perspective is the inability of the liberal or the left (or any other non right wing group) to team up to develop a clear vision of what the world should be like aka long term planning. that is (at least imho) the most depressing part

    And here it is.  Trump goes full white supremacist.

    From an interview:  

    Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country.

    A tagline for white supremacists going back at least 200 years - the evil darkies poisoning our pure blood.

    Reminds me of this
