    Sorry, do you not understand the US is a capitalist economy? What can Prez Biden do if the multi national corps decided to push refinery to places with lower environmental rules? You understand for over 40 years (early 1970'S - 2016) US couldn't export most oil drilled in the US right? GOPers changed that in the omnibus bill Dec 2016.

    Brandon? Sorry that was TFG, you know whose son in law, who has never ran a hedge fund, got $2 billion from Saudi to manage their money?

    I'm trying to. I'm an Aussie. For an outsider looking in, it's pretty messed up.

    No, haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet. But I know a bit about Brandon's son who doesn't have interesting documents on a famous laptop, but, that's for another time.:)

    Yep for the bottom 90% of US from 1945-1980. the living standards, wages, take home pay, etc were doing pretty well. Since Reagan and the rights obsession with proving how bad Gov't is they do ANYTHING possible to hamper it, the bottom 90% has stagnated or moved lower on the scale.

    Grover Norquist, who founded Americans for Tax Reform in 1985 at the urging of President Reagan, declared in 2001: “I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.”

    It sounds the same here. Since '75 our economy has very slowly declined. Most of our heavy industry has gone due to the Lima Declaration. It was supposed to only affect 30% of our combined industries, but it has taken close to if not more than 90%. This was done to give 3rd world countries a leg up by giving them opportunities, and now, it's turning us into a third-world country.

    @JonK22
    I bet if it,(the Lima Declaration) was put to a referendum, no one would have bought that three-legged donkey. That's why they signed off on buying the whole heard of three-legged donkeys without the the peoples knowledge

    The US, like most major powers, have loved to prove their "exceptionalism", by holding down other nations, generally for one thing $$$$$$.

    Monroe Doctrine from early 1800's proves that...

    Ineresting.
    The Lima D. is a UN initiative, designed to make nations that bought the three-legged donkeys become non-self reliant. We had two car manufacturing companies wittle and die. Ford & Holden, there was also a Toyota plant here too. Gone. Done & dusted.

    World bank, about 80% of the time it's bad for the nation borrowing. UN doe a lot of good, but like in the US where there are over 12,000 lobbyist for 435 elected officials, money talks.

    In the US we need to get money out of politics. Period

    Putin said? lol

    As it turns out, there really was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia

    Republican-chaired Senate Intelligence Committee released a report with damning details of the extent of cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence operatives.

    The Post reports: “The long-awaited report from the Senate Intelligence Committee contains dozens of new findings that appear to show more direct links between Trump associates and Russian intelligence, and pierces the president’s long-standing attempts to dismiss the Kremlin’s intervention on his behalf as a hoax.” These include a determination “that a longtime partner of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was, in fact, a Russian intelligence officer.

    The report also for the first time cites evidence that that alleged operative, Konstantin Kilimnik, may have been directly involved in the Russian plot to break into a Democratic Party computer network and provide plundered files to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks. . . .



    It offers new proof that former national security adviser Michael Flynn lied about his conversations with the Russia’s ambassador to the United States, raises troubling questions about Manafort’s decision to squander a plea agreement with prosecutors by lying to Mueller’s team, and accuses Blackwater founder Erik Prince of ‘deceptive’ accounts of his meetings with a Russian oligarch in the Seychelles weeks before Trump was sworn into office.

    Therefore, the fascist transvestite regime conducts searches in Trump's homes.

    Europeans, for starters, need to at least wash themselves.
    However ... Europeans are traditionally prone to dirt and stench.
    Remember history.
    Queen of Spain Isabella of Castile (end of the 15th century) washed herself only twice in her life - at birth and on her wedding day.
    The daughter of one of the French kings died of lice. Pope Clement V dies of dysentery, and Pope Clement VII dies painfully of scabies (as did King Philip II). The Duke of Norfolk refused to bathe for religious reasons. His body was covered with ulcers.
    Russian ambassadors at the court of the French king Louis XIV wrote that their majesty "stinks like a wild beast."
    The French king Louis XIV bathed only twice in his life - and then on the advice of doctors.
    Dr. F.E. Bilz in the popular textbook of medicine of the late 19th (!) century had to persuade the people to wash. “There are people who, in truth, do not dare to bathe in a river or in a bath, because since childhood they have never entered the water. This fear is unfounded,” Biltz wrote in his book New Natural Cure, “After the fifth or sixth bath you can get used to it..." Nobody believed the doctor...
    By the way, the Europeans relieved themselves wherever . For example, on the front staircase of a palace or castle. The French royal court periodically moved from castle to castle due to the fact that there was literally nothing to breathe in the old one. The chamber pots stood under the beds for days and nights.
    After the French king Louis IX (XIII century) was doused with **** from the window, the inhabitants of Paris were allowed to remove household waste through the window, only shouting three times: "Beware!"
    Around the 17th century, wide-brimmed hats were invented to protect heads from feces....

    So new experiences await you.
    The white population of the United States is already a minority today.

    The victory of communism is an objective reality. Will this transition occur smoothly or through shocks - this is the second question. I think that fascism will first appear as an antagonism to the communist ideology, and only after that, through wars and upheavals, will communism come into the world.
    Some don't believe in it. They say it's impossible, etc.
    But look at the historical example - capitalism.
    During the period of domination of feudal society, no one believed in the victory of capitalism. But! .. The development of technology and (conditionally) the emergence of a steam engine created the conditions for the development of a class of capitalists who needed the free movement of goods, labor and capital.
    And the feudal lords could resist and not believe as much as they wanted, but the emergence of capitalism was objective. Which ultimately happened.
    Today the situation is similar. The development of technology and, as a result, the release of many millions of workers creates the conditions for the transition of society to a new, higher level of development - through socialism to a communist society.

    Any American president speaks a lot of nonsense and lies. It is important to look at the result of his policies. And Trump is the only US President who has not started a single war.

    This has been going on for decades and decades. It has nothing to do with Biden.
    CEO's have been earning a lot more and a lot more and a lot more
    While people at the bottom have been earning scraps.

    That's how you end up with a society where only the lucky earn a massive amount, while the working man can't provide for his own family on it's own.
    At the bottom of the line: the US really still is earning a massive amount. It's just not flowing to the working man. They earn too little and pay too much taxes.
    While high management is hardly paying taxes while earning a massive amount.


    Trump is a prime example. He pays so little taxes, that he doesn't want to disclose it.
    And he plays mostly golf and watching tv while earning millions.
    He aint a hard working lad. That's how it is.
