Trump; like him or not, somethings are just funny

Well it is good to know the rights of minority’s are not being trampled on in the U.S. today.

Unfortunately, that tends to be done in the name of "state's rights." There is also a pretty solid history of states using "state's rights" to trample the rights of others, such as immigrants, black people, queers, women, run away slaves, those in need of health care, and so on.
It sounds all really good on paper, but it's been effectively proven we are the ultimate vanguard of our own rights and liberties.

Objective is to separate people of America preferably 50/50, so, nobody agree on anything ,so, they could do anything they want, or puppet master wants, they serve bankers, military industrial complex, and this is not the top yet.

Except America isn't divided anywhere close to 50/50, most Americans are moderates are beyond fed up with partisan bickering, and "across the isles" we have way more in common with each other than what the bungholes at Capital Hill would imply.

I personally think in this communication age, the need for elected representatives is long passed

I'm totally against dictatorship. It's against the very root of our ideals. We see what it leads to in China, Russia, Iran and in many other places - evil.

Well democracy is everybody getting behind group decisions not whining like *****es because it's not going your way

Where were you 2008-16?

Aston’s Eyot a 32 acre island about 3 miles from the centre of Oxford,, why?

whole lot of people collectively spazzed out because they didn't get their way

What I find funny is Americans ripping into their own president like it doesn't make the whole country a worldwide joke

Trump is doing a fine job of that by himself.

 

[Martin]

Both parties serve the same puppet master.

Yes. It's Doctor Evil!

I'm not a big Trump fan but I found this video amusing lol. What is really funny is the lengths some people go through to either support or tear down a political person.

The funniest thing to me is that I can't decide if he is being facetious or really likes Trump. I could take that video either way.

Whether you want to accept it or not, America was established as a Republic to prevent a "democratic based" majority from trampling the minority.

Even a minority of one, so states the Constitution. But now it is the trampling of the very document that is supposed to ensure that democracy.

So basically you're saying to the rest of the world 'we're brilliant we elected a incompetent idiot' well done

Why should the "rest of the world" be so concerned anyway? America is our country, not theirs.

insular America speaks

 

[Audie]

I have to agree. The 2016 election and all the vile crap and investigations that came out of it didn't make America look very competent to others.

The USA is way way way too powerful and influential
to be a joke. Scary, contemptible, weird,dangerous,
childish, who knows, but not funny. Not a joke.

Like a rich, six-foot four and aggressive teenager
is not funny.

Think about it-the richest most powerful country
in the history of the world, No ship sails without
the US knowing it, and giving tacit approval.
Troops are stationed everywhere. One could
go on to list things.

I say this not as a citizen or a big fan of the USA
or its policies, domestic or foreign.

Just take one country for an example-Taiwan.

There would be no Taiwan if not for the USA,
and they are very aware of that. They follow
US politics with a lot of interest / concern, as
well they might.

When the USA gets sneezes, the world gets a
cold.

So yeah, it matters a lot who is in office and what
they do.

Whether you want to accept it or not, America was established as a Republic to prevent a "democratic based" majority from trampling the minority. The Founders saw democracy as basically mob rule, and they were right. Having our elections staggered the way they are is another "anti-democracy" feature that prevents spur-of-the-moment movements from taking total control. Just because people have a vote doesn't mean they live in a democracy.

Hear hear.

It seems quite fashionable to display
facile cynicism about the US constitution,

Fact is though that the concepts and ideals
were and still are an inspiration to the world.

I sure dont think that any of your cynics and critics
here could do remotely as well then or now.

insular America speaks

Not quite as insular as you might think. I do find it funny, though, whenever people from England presume to speak for the "rest of the world," as if they're any more qualified in that area than Americans are.

Maybe it's because we used to own a third of it, or having a real history not just a few hundred years of genocidal country building

 

[leov]

Yes. It's Doctor Evil!

Mostly Evil.

Yes, yes, kind wonderful people, friendly as can be,
cooperatively working out mutually beneficial trade
agreements with others around the world, in a spirit
of respect and understanding among nations.

Because unfortunately your country is situated on our planet.
