As Arranged, Trump Has Been Acquitted

What point are you trying to make here? I mean, if it was your intention to demonstrate my point, then congratulations? Mission accomplished?

I was attacking the party you emphasized the blame on as per "but especially Republicans - refusing to take of their blasted red and blue shirts and work in a bipartisan fashion" Like the Dems are doing anything different.

Nah, because when that CPUSA was started the Dems were the party of heavy racism, and today the Dems are still a party of capitalism and corporate handouts.

Such disgusting division. And from a "Christian."

They are a different kind of Christian.

Background:

After being seriously injured in a fall from horse in 1827, lapsed cleric John Nelson Darby began to write down the theology God had revealed to him. Most of his work was forgotten, and his teachings flopped entirely in Europe.

However, one element of his cult mythology caught fire in the US, especially in the South. By crafting together bits and pieces of Biblical text like the disconnected words on refrigerator magnets, Darby invented a story of The End Times perfectly suited for the needs of slaveholder religion in the South. It was called Dispensationalism.

With respect to what I was talking about in that post - the refusal to see and hear evidence - that is on the shoulders of Republicans (except two of them - Collins and Romney - who got thank you letters from me for their integrity). Please remember to take what I said in context - sorry if that context wasn't clear. Thanks!

I don't know. Have you checked out the US. Communist party website? You would swear it was written by the socialist Democrats themselves.


About Us


Pretty eerie isn't it?

It is called overlap of policy and/or goals. That happens with most parties and government by nature. The GOP supports welfare on a small level yet this does not mean the GOP is socialist just because socialist also support welfare.

Did you ever ask yourself why they don't run their own candidates but rather back the socialist Democrats by getting (deeply) involved in the election* ?

A little excerpt...


~"It is about choosing what direction the country will go in. So, we work with allies in the union movement, "~. CPUSA

Why does the CPUSA support Democratic Party candidates for the presidency instead of running their own candidates?


I would say if you have the backing/support of the Communist party of the United States would would willingly forgo their own candidates for the socialist Democratic party , there's a real problem.

*Talk about election interference.

Every witness only gave an opinion and the evidence was a dud. Every Senators already heard the evidence in the House hearings.Dems didn't want to follow procedure for their own case in the House. Dems blew it. The Senate has no obligation to help the House make a case it should have completed in the House. Dems took an incomplete case to trial. That is all on the Dems

Trump tells the mob he will never allow "socialism" and they lap it up.. They don't even think.

I'm not talkin about social programs.

I'm talking about real infrastructure changes that are happening in this country. The Nanny state is the preferred conduit to accomplish that as further centralization and nationalization takes place.

You create dependence, they'll perpetually vote for you, and can do anything you want with those dependent on you afterwards as the entrenchment becomes permanent enough that people won't stand in your way for fear of losing the government 'perks'.

Let's put it this way , those old enough in life know how much personal and economic freedom has been lost in such a short time.

You are doing exactly what I said you were doing, again. Looking at overlap and confusing things.

That does not make something socialist. That is called buying votes with government money for the politicians and buying entitlements by the voter. Dems do it via social programs while the GOP does it via subsides. The voter in general is easy to buy one way or another. The sales pitch is just different.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

All I know is the Communist party is better off than ever thanks to the socialist Democrats.

Some people in the party are socialists by their own admission. That does not mean the whole party is. Biden and Warren are capitalists. Yang whole angle is being a capitalist via he previous career. They just want massive social programs as they see it as a better solution than the market or the system that is running on duct tape now.

My objections to a lot of policy is about costs first so I do not see a socialist around every corner.

That doesn't explain why people from socialist countries have recognized the real world changes that have happened to the Democrat party.

Especially with Chinese immigrants that have applied for citizenship in the US to escape the very thing they were trying to get away from only to find it again.

Too bad our system of government has been hijacked by political parties and corporate interests working all these years do take advantage of what the founding fathers intended and ultimately uses smoke and mirrors to profit from a corrupted capitalist system triumphing over democracy. I think now is the time that we as a people should take a few minutes regardless of what side of the aisle you are on and help heal the divides of the nation and move forward from this shameful reality TV version of a government (especially its host). Put away the childhood toys of partisanship and unite in the knowledge that after all these years this great experiment has once again shown how great it can be for a specific political party and its corrupted leader.
Was there a golden age?

I would probably agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that it's compulsory based legislation and not incentive-based legislation that continually comes from the Democrat left.

All I see are policies geared for implementing government dependence and compliance.

She is conflicting things as per her distorted comparison of abortion. The US is providing a choice to the citizens while China is forcing people to have an abortion. Read what you link and think about for more than 5 secs. All her points make me suspect that she is either A) stupid B) getting a pay check c) A and B

Li is conflating restriction on speech with socialism. One does not need to be a socialist to advocate against free speech. KSA has it and it's a monarchy.

Yu gives no details.
