@IrRevrant And it's not about the classification.

It's about protecting kids from crippling student loan debts.

That's true of all the countries Trump tried to trade war, with, to. Your lack of support means they don't have to negotiate.

But you didn't care.

i.e.
You refused to support our wars, why should we support yours?

[Bob Apposite @BobApposite]

@StephenKing And Iraq and Ukraine are "well-advised" wars?

Both parties have their wars, dude.

Maybe you didn't notice.

You're silly.

Before capitalism, most of humanity was slaves, or serfs.

If there's a 50/50 chance you're just going to restart the free condom programs

There's no incentive for businesses to create the manufacturing & supply chains to ship them there & sell them there.

Sounds like a lot of bunk.

Mostly you're talking about prostitutes getting HIV from not having condoms.

But really that's your fault. You gave condoms away for free for so long that there's no incentive to develop a local market for them.

Especially since, with an election, they might just come back for free, again.

@StephenKing Like what do you actually mean by that?

What do you want Troy Jackson to do as Senator re: Trump, specifically?

[Bob Apposite @BobApposite]

@StephenKing @StephenKing

"to pull the emergency brake"

What does that mean, though?

More "impeachment theater"?

That's what you want?

Your Congresspeople to put on a bad high school play?

When communism went belly-up in Russia, and they couldn't pay the bills.

Moscow couldn't stop republics from leaving.

It wasn't an option.

Also, imagine if Lincoln hadn't had the advantage of a strong economy & standing federal army.

He would have had to LET the southern states leave.

And try to get them back later, at some later date.

Isn't that Putin's situation?

Wasn't "we're one people" repeatedly used by Democrats to justify the Affordable Care Act?

I guess it's ok rhetoric when you want to force something on someone.

Plus your party is always talking about historical claims to land like "land acknowledgments"

i.e.
*This land used to belong to xxx tribe",
'No one is illegal on stolen land'

"The Carol of the Bells"

Admittedly this is pretty petty - but's that's like the worst classical / Christmas earworm ever.

It's not to my taste, anyway.

If it were purely on preserving culture, I'd have to choose Russia. It's not even close.

You want me to pick sides.

I don't have a team,there.

They could both be perfectly cool people.

I know more about Russian culture than Ukrainian.

If you like the arts, music, film, philosophy, literature - you're going know Russian culture.

I couldn't tell you what Ukranian culture is.

Sports, maybe? I think they're good at the Sciences?
