We Need Something Besides Animosity- like this.

Our withdrawal from the inernational scene is a significant reduction in our influence.

By leading others of like mind, we have been able to have greater influence that we have as one country.

We are a nation of less than 5% of the world population. Today, we have the leading economy, but China is growing FAR faster than we are and their economy ABSOLUTELY will surpass our own.

Today we have an opportunity to firmly establish the shared beliefs and capabilities of the western world.

That is something that will grow increasingly difficult to achieve, and the impact on the USA for no longer having economic and legal leadership will be gigantic.

 

What the media forgets to reminds is that for every 5 nutjobs or bad people, there are 95 of us obeying the law, saying please and thank you, working together with no issues

 

I do that anyway because you can burn a few extra calories without much effort and also because when SUV's park on both sides of me when I am in the car, I literally can see nothing when backing out and i live in the land of the SUV's. Not so bad when I drive my truck.

 

Even farther from the views of the left. Remember, the mockery, insults and attacks on Trump began the day he announced he would run. They didn't wait for him to do anything. The planning to impeach as an insurance began before he was elected. These guys have become masters of incredibly despicable and immoral behavior- such as I've never seen in my life from either party, and I'm old. That's not the democrats of 40 years ago; these people are fundamentally different.

 

The work being done to disenfranchise minority voters is an assault by our own government and by others on that 95%.

Breonna Taylor was a member of that 95%.

I do believe it is worth some press and some work aimed at respecting what you are suggesting should be respected.

 

I went this morning and bought dewormer, puppy milk formula, 5 in vaccine, gave him a bath. He's eating wet food but is 6 weeks old so I figure formula cant hurt. I wormed him (he did poop a few, turns out pups can be born with worms, disgusting, looked like small coiled up rubber bands) I will administer the vaccine in the morning, it's injected under the skin of the neck. A vet would charge about 70$ to do the same thing, vaccine for 7$ a dose at the ranch supply store, every 3 weeks for either 4 to 6 months, so that would add up quick.

We aint rich but I will take to the vet for heartworm prevention and rabies shot. Many people do their own vaccines but those require a vet.

Our last dog never saw a vet for ten years and was healthy until that tumor started on the bridge of his nose, it started deep in the sinuses and ate the bone as it emerged. He lived a good life but it was time. I promised myself if I ever owned another dog it will have all it's shots and dewormed and heart worm prevention. Heartworms are easy to prevent but a near certain death sentence in later life and expensive to treat.

 

The right wing was laughing at him, too.

The destruction of our checks and balances, the search for foreign influence in our elections, the demonstrated criminality within Trump's circle - these are things that can not be tolerated.

And, these would have been opposed in ANY time period in American history.

The difference is that in past times, Republicans agreed. Republcians agreed that Nixon had to go, and for misdeeds that Trump's activities put to shame.

There certainly has been a change. I agree with that.

 

Is it difficult to play a broken record while simultaniously beating a dead horse?

 

~ Some people are always "offended". It's like a hobby ...

 

I wish I could like this twice.

In the meantime, the media gives me shooting mugshots and child porn suspects, ugh.

 

Surely you know that problems don't go away by ignoring them.

Our federal leadership with the likes of Trump and Miller has the power of the US executive branch working to worsen the problems of racism and division in the USA.

And, the Senate is ignoring that - if not working to make matters worse.

Biden isn't going to solve it, either. It's a bigger, harder, longer lasting problem than that..

What we CAN work for is forward motion.

 

I like the "All you can eat for a $1.99" buffet, but $1 worth was all that I could stand.

 

~ There is the real possibility the corrupt CCP will collapse. China is now on stilts - regardless of the "official" Chinese government propaganda . The Wuhan virus made many nations take a second look at doing business with communist China.
India and Vietnam will likely be the ones to take up the low cost labor and growth from China.
But you can always hope for China's success and America's demise if you like. It will have no reflection on Donald Trump.

 

Who cares we have the biggest military and don't care what the rest of the world thinks,

 

So much for your lack of animosity huh?

 

They fought the virus and have their economy up and running.

Our failure to effectively deal with it has crippled our us.

 

When it comes to the economy and markets that don't mean a lot

 

Sure it does and so you are implying the parris accord with carbon credits somehow improve our economy?

 

ADD much?

 

That's not animosity. Just fact.

 

Right.."You suck"

No animosity there

 

~ That is false. You have your mask on too tight .

5% GDP

They're eating our lunch

 

I don't agree with most of your analysis here.

Your COVID comment is absolutely ridiculous. China is safer from this virus than just about any other place with substantial population. The USA is the WORST. We may not like their methods, but they certainly have worked while ours have been an absolute and total failure. If contact with nations having the virus is the issue, then contact with America is what should be avoided. And, while China, has developed solutions, we have not. We still can't even provide our healthcare industry with sufficient masks!! And, we have regions where we've run out of beds in our hospitals.

China's economy has been consistently growing at a rate that is more than twice our own for 20 or 30 years. If you want to try to defend your claim that they will collapse, please do.

Yes, wages in China are increasing. That's exactly what one would expect, isn't it?

Let's recognize that China's economy has long since moved past low wage labor working for state enterprises. Private enterprise is powering China.
