USA - США - SAD

This country was founded on white supremacist terrorism, state sanctioned and otherwise. It’s in our DNA, it’s literally the principle of its colonization. All the high-minded freedom shit is marketing.

Jbg. 

Moraju da suoče sa svojom prošlošću, ne valja ovo ništa...

Another horrendous NYT headline that implicitly invites the reader to imagine a threat where there is none; i.e. if soldiers are trained for war, and they're being deployed to the border, then a threat must exist, right? This is how far-right rhetoric becomes mainstreamed. https://t.co/paCB0VALv2

John Bolton has welcomed Brazil’s far-right president-elect Jair Bolsonaro as a “positive sign” for Latin America as he hailed a new ally against what Bolton called a “troika of tyranny”: Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua.

“[T]oday, in this hemisphere, we are also confronted once again with the destructive forces of oppression, socialism and totalitarianism” Bolton said.
“Under this administration, we will no longer appease dictators and despots near our shores in this hemisphere. We will not reward firing squads, torturers, and murderers … The troika of tyranny in this hemisphere – Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua – has finally met its match.”

If the dems take the house -- then all of Trump's policies and all the crap he's trying to do goes out the window because it will never make it past the house or never even be brought to the floor. ...plus this could very well dictate if Trump even remains president (for a huge number of reasons) and will also protect the Muller investigation.

It certainly can.

The decision to elect GW Bush resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent people (with the support of most of the dems who are berating Trump.)

An important (not THE most important) election comes in 2020 when we see whether or not the dems can forget about worrying about where people pee and put up a candidate who pays attention to the needs of real people.

Like this, for example:

NJ has had a dem controlled legislature as long people can remember, and a string of high profile governors from both parties.

Obama took office with a dem majority in both houses.

He made sure that a man can marry a man, but one of the most travelled bridges in the US, in the richest country in the history of the world, still doesn't work.

People might seem stupid, but they they're not THAT stupid.
