Why don't you do us a favor and name a communist economy that exists alongside any political system.

You won't, because there haven't been any.

Ah. “Real communism hasn’t been tried”.

Meanwhile, every economic system that has called itself communist in the last 100 years has been paired with totalitarianism in whatever state it took over.
 
Yep, no way Trump would ever consider Tulsi as a running mate. Nope.

Moderate Dems... welcome aboard!

Isolating the liberal wing would be a perfect solution.
 
Nope. Just calling out hypocrisy from both sides when I see it.
You can't scream bloody murder about BLM blocking bridges then clap 👏 when it's the Canadian truckers doing it.
You can't scream bloody murder about BLM using donations or Go Fund Me accounts to help with legal fees or bail $$$
but cry when the trucker's Go Fund Me gets shut down.
You can't scream bloody murder about the Canadian government using heavy handed approaches to squash the trucker resistance but cheer when Trump uses the national guard to tear gas and attack peaceful protesters in order to get a photo op in front of a church with the Bible.

I think the Canadian government is dead wrong about some of their approaches to this issue...but I'm at least consistent about calling it out on both sides.
Damn, how many times do you have to be told that Trump did not use NG on “peaceful protesters”?

And if you can’t see the difference in blm GETTING AND USING $$ from donations and truckers NOT getting the $$ donated, there is no help for you.

Something stopping them from building a car factory? They have plenty of natural resources, I'm sure.

But sure, blame the USA.. last I checked, Cuba was open to most of the rest of the world. You might not be aware, but lots of Europeans vacation there, amdoad up on cheap cigars. Lol.
So why haven't they built one in 60+ years?
Only the most developed nations with the strongest economies compete in the car world. We buy cars from America, Europe, Japan. You aren't buying a car from Africa, the ME, Russia, Central America, South America. Even the up and coming superpower China's entire auto industry is built on reverse engineering western products.
 
That's false. You're such a liar and a fraud. I'll bet you can't even quote the STATED goal of NATO.
Direct from the NATO website Mr. Butthurt.

The North Atlantic Alliance was founded in the aftermath of the Second World War. Its purpose was to secure peace in Europe, to promote cooperation among its members and to guard their freedom – all of this in the context of countering the threat posed at the time by the Soviet Union.​

Cuba doesn’t have to compete with GM or Ford to build a factory to build cars for CUBA. I’m sure they have engineers that could design an automobile for them.

Except for the fact that your basic facts are wrong. The evidence is not what you say it is, Mr. Prosecutor. It has been disproven over and over again the false narrative that Trump attacked the peaceful protesters in front of that church, but you go ahead and refuse to acknowledge it.

There is absolutely no correlation or comparison in the Floyd riots and aftermath, and this Canadian protest.

None. Zip. Diddly. Squat. Nada!

So stop trying to conflate the two. You merely look even more idiotic than you usually do.

I thought you said the purpose of NATO was to destroy the USSR?
 
  • Wow
Reactions: Lost In FL
And why do they have to drive those cars? Because they can’t get new ones. Why can’t they get new ones? The capitalist embargo. They aligned with our enemies so we destroyed their island nation that relies on imports. We’re the ones to blame for the material conditions in Cuba.
Look at it like this Dion, at least they have the free healthcare you guys beat the drum about and hell maybe even Alec Baldwin will move there one day like he’s always said he would 🍺

Yeah they can't get a Toyota Camry but even they have healthcare. What does that say about America?
 
I don’t know any profession that has exhibited more defensiveness than teaching. They deflect and complain all the time. They act as if they were tricked into becoming teachers or are forced labor. Then they run around acting like no one else could do their jobs. No other profession I can think of acts as much a victim as teachers.

While I respect people who go into teaching and know there are people who have sacrificed to serve in that capacity and who do great work, it’s the whiners who make the profession insufferable.

Name one other profession besides law enforcement that is bashed non stop every day by the news media, by politicians, by parents and on social media....
What other job is the focus of continuous new state laws and regulations aimed at making the job of the individuals that perform those jobs harder all the time...with no monetary compensation or benefits added?
Does Fox News bash accountants, doctors, insurance salesmen, the military, nurses, retail workers, garbage workers, firemen, lawyers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, engineers, bankers, bakers, grocery workers, restaurant workers, or any other profession every f'ing day of the week???
How many state laws are being passed or attempted every year to fu** over any of those workers or your job?
Yeah...we do bitch a lot recently for good reason. The far right has declared war on public education and we have been fighting it for a good decade now.
But here's the sad truth. Most teachers I know are sick of it and have given up fighting. Apathy is what most feel now...
You don't care about teachers or public schools? Funny.... because they are beginning to feel the same too.
Better sock away plenty of $$$ for private schools if you're smart and have young kids....because the shits gonna hit the fan in the next 5-10 years. It's already started.
 
There haven't ever been any communist countries as you point out, thank you.

The accrual of the wealth was the immoral act. Bezos didn't make his money by being moral.

Edit to add: How about this as a final word on the subject, we all agree to be very skeptical of any government calling itself communist as they’re almost definitely using it as a Trojan Horse for authoritarianism. I see that, you see that, we all see that.
You're playing with semantics a lot. Communism and socialism have a blended border at best. For both, authoritarianism is necessary because the economic system universally fails. Once it fails the people are unhappy but the leaders are fat and happy. To then continue in their wealth and power, authoritarianism is used. It has been the same process everywhere.

Looks like they called the Putin playbook to a T. He had some losers make up a bunch of fake attacks. He declares the regions now independent. And now he sends in official Russian troops to "maintain peace". The US should declare Ukrainian airspace a no fly zone and its intentions to enforce it. See what kind of balls little Ruskie really has.
 

  • While in jail, Tubbs boasted to her father in jailhouse phone conversation that she'll be able to plead out and won't have to register as a sex offender
  • She also laughed about the prospect of leaving the country 'next time' she gets in trouble

Oh, I don't know. Seems like lawyers have been pretty routinely vilified for much longer than have teachers.

You don't hear them whining and bitching constantly like teachers.

Like, how many lawyer jokes have you heard? I've heard them since I was a little kid.

Modern education is a 'woke' joke, amd it took covid and zoom classes at home for parents to realize just what was going on. This is not a function of Tucker Carlson and libsoftiktok, it is a function of parents waking up to the truth on their own.

Stop calling IT a her. It’s a man with a mental disorder. HE needs to be in prison!

No, you absolutely aren't getting away with that. The embargo is not the reason they can't but new cars. They can now, by the way, but there's a new problem. I think you need to do better research.
 
Oh boy. God told Trump that the coronavirus is a test to see if he can really rebuild the economy. Yea, God is so bored he decided to kill a couple million people just to see Trump do some work, LMAO! Politicians telling voters about conversation they have with an imaginary friend is hilarious

-but he destroyed the relationship with Cubas largest trading partner.

^it wasn't "our" fault as you stated, it was Castro and his gangs fault.
That shit happened a long time ago. Obama tried to do the right thing and fix our relationship with Cuba. Of course the 1st thing Trump did was end that. The easiest way to end the Cuban regime is flood them with American goods. Normal Cubans are very nice and have no ill will to Americans.
 
Well there is is. Russia takes eastern Ukraine with a stroke of the pen. Pretty much what I was trying to tell @vhcat70 would happen. Now russia will move into protect that region and they will be welcomed in Donbas. Another Crimea where Russia just takes what it wants. Sanctions will do zero and if Ukraine tries to take it back Russia will plow them all the way to Hungary.
They already controlled the area with off the books Russian troops. What everyone is waiting to see is if he will push further. Putin has always been butthurt about Ukraine being gifted the Crimea area. The question is if he is butthurt enough to try and reclaim the ancestral home of Kyiv.

Of course they did. The Russians have had troops since 2013 in Donbas. I just call out vhcat bc he tried to argue and didn’t have a fact to back it up. Gonna keep calling his bs out

Btw the declaration today pushed it. They already occupied the region now Putin has announced it. Putin will put up Donetsk vs Ukraine and it will progress from there.

I can't believe that you would advocate the spread of the EEEEEVIL capitalism to a peace loving republic like Cuber. You hypocrite.

Don't remember the last time any governor waged war on lawyers or the last time the Ky legislature passed anti lawyer laws.
Don't hear our Congress bashing lawyers....maybe because 175 of the members of Congress are lawyers??
Fox News doesn't devote hours of airtime weekly bashing lawyers.
And just what are parents upset about in the Kentucky curriculum as a result of "waking up to the truth" during Covid? WTH are you even talking about?
If you're talking about masks that was a board level decision. Teachers had no control over that.
 
What else would you call his press conference with putin? "Big daddy putin promises he would never commit cyber attacks and he super pinky promised! I believe every word! It was probably some fat kids in mommies basement"
Now do Biden. These are the things you can cyber-attack, but please not these. Thanks.

Now do Obama and Crimea. And Syria red line. Thanks.

Now do Biden and what is ongoing currently in Ukraine. Thanks.

Now do 'kindly shut the f*uck up'. Thanks.

Putin has the balls. A no fly zone won’t do anything bc a democratic president will not enforce squat. You really think any directive by biden scares Putin? Hell Putin told Obama to hold his beer while he took Crimea. Lots of empty words by democratic presidents and the wanna be Bush in Georgia. When this began on this go around it was pretty obvious Putin wanted Donbas and that’s it. Now with the western rhetoric it may push him to the rest of Ukraine but my money is on a slow burn first to absorb Donbas. It will all depend on Ukraine and nato whether they fight to maintain Donbas. It’s Ukraine’s play now. Do they allow Donbas autonomy or do they try to maintain control. The perception of this thing can change real fast. Maybe not in the US but through the rest of the world.

Holy christ, this is an all time bad take.

'Waged war'? Who died, you hyperbolic spouting moron?

Lawyers have been the brunt of jokes and derision for decades. And we all laugh, because it is mostly true.

'What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start!'

Come on, SCIENCE DUDE! stop whining about how bad teachers have it. They suck, you suck, and just because the light has been shined on the suckery, does not mean the suckery does not happen. Again, pay attention to what half the posters here post about teachers and CRT and ideological brainwashing of BLM and socialist propaganda.

These are not some isolated incidents. It is part AND parcel of the NEA and the education establishment.

And regardless of what most of America thinks, the Russian people support the shit out of Putin. They love that guy, because he is Russia FIRST, as he should be.
