So what's the cock-suck squad using to excuse Trump having a stroke on TV and calling it a press conference

Just curious how getting directly called on being a liar and admitting you didn't fact check your statement is getting spun as winning

Let me ask this to the doubters: if communes are doomed to fail because human nature then why did we intervene on so many of them in S. America?

If communes are naturally authoritarian, what's was our removal of Salvador Allende, a democratically elected president, in favor of installing Pinochet?

The Monroe Doctrine? Not saying that I agree with it but it does entirely explain our meddling.

I'm looking forward to trump's first budget proposal. Been a while since dems actually pulled out a filibuster, you know? And before someone says nuclear option let's recall that several gop senators are beginning investigations, and trump has already utterly lost one confirmation fight, 3 weeks in, and had to fire a senior official for ties to Russia.

Trump is not leading squat and most certainly is not commanding the loyalty of the gop. That votes are going to break on party lines is not a sure thing at all. There is zero political advantage to cooperating with trump.

i think communism like any dictatorial form of government can work p well if the factions within the government are united by a strong leader who either squashes enough opposition to make anyone who wants to shoot for the top think twice or balances the interests of the factions so that they are more or less content


perhaps someone has even done a graph-theoretic analysis of how faction power dynamics operate in some dictatorship from the past? that would be interesting to read

"Take other people's poo poo unfairly" is a bad stance for any government which is why no loving liberals seriously think that. Just because republicans don't have anything between 0 and 100% doesn't mean everyone is an extremist like you

I can't believe he went on air saying that the white house was running as a well oiled machine or whatever he said. its obviously a clusterfuck.

I listen to AM radio after 7 pm here because 7pm is when real news stops broadcasting (if you got a serious problem determining, you are a moron. you are even dumber if you sell your extra income to the silver coin guy that straight up says in his ad, "I don't know how it works, but it does" to why you should be investing any extra money into his silver coins every month instead of banking them.)

Just lol. *spits outrageous hate speech* 5 commercials about how you can make money really easy if you just invest your extra income into a small business

Someone tell me they are this stupid. Come at me bro. I might even see it and reply.

"Working well" isn't just "not dissenting", strong leader can have all the unity and support and still gently caress up. Only today I read about Khruschev's "Ryazan experiment". He insisted on overtaking America in terms of food production despite his economic advisors saying that his projected rates of growth are not possible. This led to complete ruin of agriculture in previously top producer (Ryazan area) and ultimately actual food deficit in the entire USSR.
