I see a Republican shaking hands with a dictator. Exactly like the Butcher Putin appeasers now.

Its 1980 again and my man is the Saddam Hussein of the 21st Century.

Yes we know Butcher Putin is your man. And yes he is a lot like that other tyrant dictator.

Now Putin’s Evil Empire will be fucked.

s it always been this bad in US presidential elections?

Nope. I’ve been following politics since Nixon and Biden is the best president we’ve had in the last 50 years.

btaf45 , to world in Truong My Lan: Vietnamese billionaire sentenced to death for $44bn fraud

Even in that last election, 57% of the voting age population voted

That was actually better than most countries.

The big picture is that the Vietnamese dictatorship did exactly the wrong thing. Creating a billionaire class proves that they ditched socialism. But they kept the dictatorship. They should have instead entrenched socialism and become a democracy. That would have been a very interesting thing to see. That they did exactly the wrong thing proves that North Vietnam’s entire reason for fighting the war was a farce.

The freedom to run their own country whether that’s into the ground or into prosperity its the right of the vietnamese to self govern.

Huh? Both North and South Vietnam gained independence in 1954. The South Vietnamese had an elected government by 1968. North Vietnam had a dictatorship so the people couldn’t run their own country. Then North Vietnam robbed South Vietnam of the ability to run their own country.

North Vietnam was literally fighting to deny the people to run their own country. To this very day nobody in Vietnam gets to choose their own leaders. The people are not allowed to govern themselves. But South Vietnam got to elect their own leader in 1968.

How you don’t know that French colonialism ended 10 years before Americans arrived is bizarre.

So much of that was wrong. The last government was not “openly fascist” Thanks to the USA, it was democratically elected. North Vietnam was 100x more repressive than South Vietnam in 1975.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Vietnam

Under pressure from the US, they held elections for president and the legislature in 1967. The Senate election took place on 2 September 1967. The Presidential election took place on 3 September 1967

“Highly socialist” systems do not have billionaires.

If Vietnam has billionaires then why the f*ck were they fighting against capitalism in the Vietnam War? North Vietnam might as well have just asked to join South Vietnam and they could have skipped 20 years of wars. Looks like all they were really fighting against was democracy.

so there’s no simple way to block huge swaths of content you’re not interested in — like sports, or politics.

The simple way is to show only the groups you have subscribed to.

But yes I do like Usenet’s organizational hierarchy.

Well he would mostly just be the GOP’s speaker. Dems would have their own unofficial speaker and it would be Jeffries, not Johnson. We could mostly start ignoring Johnson with this arrangement.

Is this the same store chain that has a CIA substation underneath in the Burbank location? Oh wait, I’m thinking of Buy More and their Nerd Herd.

Dems should make a deal with Johnson. They will throw him a few votes in exchange to allow Jeffries the ability to schedule votes. That way both parties decide what things to hold votes about.
