China stagnated for centuries because they became very conservative and inward thinking. They switched strategies only recently after realizing that the rest of the world was eating their lunch. Now they have become the world's largest trader, buying up assets and resources worldwide. They will take a hit for a while with the Trump trade war but will end up expanding their influence as the US is branding itself as an untrustworthy trade and business partner now and the stigma will likely persist, even if Trump gets turfed soon. China will take up the slack.Making China Great Again.
LoL. Hardly a case of being in "love with Trump", and more one of recognizing - as you should be doing - that, at least at the time of the 2016 election, he was clearly the lesser of two weevils. Though whether he turns out to be a cure worse than the disease is still an open question.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑ Steersman needs to fall out of love with Trump pronto.

Meanwhile he says nothing about the Chinese persecuting Christians (see Brive's national identity thread). And he said he was against terrorism.

.... I’m on record arguing that Trump has had a corrupting effect on conservatism and democratic norms, generally. I still believe that, rather passionately.
But the point here is that whatever blame Trump deserves needs to be set in the context of a wider corruption. Trump was nominated and elected in substantial part because many conservatives rightly believed the system was already corrupt. Hillary Clinton, the matriarch of the Medicis of the Ozarks, was a profoundly corrupt figure. As was the vast network of organizations dedicated to extending the Clintons’ grift back into the White House. Donald Trump didn’t invent the Right’s animus for the press, he simply concentrated it into a kind of barbaric yawp.
Sick of a Republican party that tried too hard to work within the borders of what the mainstream media deemed acceptable rhetoric and tactics, his voters loved it when he gleefully singled out reporters by name, like a kid going after ants with a magnifying glass on a summer day. As I wrote earlier this week, the press has been asking for this treatment — literally for decades.
The problem for journalists is that, having refused at every turn to learn their lessons, from Walter Duranty to Daniel Schorr to Dan Rather, they have repeatedly responded by doubling down on their worst instincts and groupthink. And now, as Trump turns his MAGAfying glass on them, they are intensifying their worst habits.
But it’s not just the press; it’s everybody. In other words, it’s not so much that Trump has exposed the corruption of various institutions and individuals; it’s that everyone feels warranted to respond to his norm-breaking with norm-breaking of their own. The New York Times’ Anonymous op-ed writer did something terrible because he thought Trump gave him an excuse to do it. Cory Booker lacked the testicular fortitude to actually be Spartacus, but he rightly recognized that everybody wants either to be a Spartacus or to rally to one. ....
LoL. Expect you meant "collaborate". And that there's a difference between that and the "right to disclose information—even stolen information—so long as (1) the speaker did not participate in the theft and (2) the information deals with matters of public concern.” Kind of the whole issue with whistle-blowers.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑ We did corroborate with the Russians but it was legal.

I guess he will either weasel out and say (a) 1/32 doesn't make her an Indian (b) When he said Indian he meant from India (c) He didn't say what he said, didn't call her Pocahantas and didn't offer the $1m that was all made up by the fake news.During a campaign rally on July 5, Trump taunted Warren for her claims of Native American ancestry, a staple of his campaign stump speeches.
"I will give you a million dollars, to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian," Trump said at the time. "I have a feeling she will say 'no.' "
Haha. I doesn't matter if Trump pays off his bet. He lured Warren into an obvious trap and she just jumped right in. Man... I laughed and laughed over this.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑ https://thehill.com/homenews/administra ... -though-he

You may have missed it, but there is no evidence that she gained by adding Native American to European to her resume. I didn't know that she filled out her forms with a flint dagger though. :shock:Or as little as 1/1024 South American. Which places the injection back in the 1600s.
Trump wanted her to prove she was an “Indian”. Per the damn check box she kept stabbing. The university’s expect both genealogy and tribal enrolment. Which screws her.

What do you think my K-man standards were?Evidence wise, I’m so glad you have moved on from your K-man standards to now requiring a smoking gun.
:lol:Not one of Kavanaugh's best moments. It seems like K had some sort of nose problems, he kind of twitches it a bit in this video, in others he was snorting an snuffling. Here, kind of a combination of evading the question, trying to waste time, and complaining about the terrible tactics against him.
So what? Didn't you watch the proceedings? Besides snivelling about being a victim of unfair questions from the Clinton leftist cabal this lying piece of shit twitched his nose like a rat in heat while he lied about what was otherwise inconsequential crap like his yearbook.Brive1987 wrote: ↑:lol:Not one of Kavanaugh's best moments.

Bayesian priors on the proposition that someone born in an Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Area is descended from South Americans is relatively low, since we know which tribes lived in Oklahoma and when they moved here.
Of course, we have no way of knowing which of Warren's ancestors came from which tribe, unless and until someone does the genealogy all the way back, and even then it probably wouldn't be an ancestor on the Dawes Rolls, which are what really matter for inclusion in the tribes around these parts.A huge issue is that people are worried about the representativeness of the Native American groups. First, if you are looking for someone with indigenous North American ancestry, Mexican groups are sufficient. If anything this will reduce your power to detect, not produce false positives. Second, look at the plot, Warren’s haplotype is positioned between Canadian and Mexican natives:

It's not the differences of opinion-I grew up in a very conservative area. Some of my oldest friends are very religious Trumpettes. It is the constant denialism, insults and the propagation of stupid in the form of braid bimbos. Your ability to finely parse the nuance of the far right while lumping the left together as a whole is disingenuous. Not to mention dragging things into the main thread that should be contained to the side threads. It's putting a lot of the pit off, but by putting it there you force people to answer you there, or have the pit look like an alt-right subreddit.Brive1987 wrote: ↑ Do you think the anger/passion wrapper sometimes interferes with the joy to be derived from our robust differences of opinion?

The congressional shooting is the result of when Republicans go hard right and dismantle social security.
Its possible. According to Wikipedia the FBI still hadn’t determined a motive. You would probably need more converging evidence to draw the specific into a general statement. You’d probably also want to demonstrate the dismantling fell outside the parameters of political fair play. Ie that it is a basic failure of performance by the republicans.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 2:37 pmThe congressional shooting is the result of when Republicans go hard right and dismantle social security.

Bullshit. You said something stupid, got called on it, shown evidence and you went all PoMo on words and tried to redefine what you said. You twist and contort like crazy to avoid admitting you're wrong.

Re the main thread, sounds like you feel you are duty bound to burn the village to save it. You have an inability to parse and argument, you appear driven by projection. Case in point the brevit thing.
My line was identical to “World War Two is what happens when liberal democracies lose their balls and adopt appeasement”
Some truth, especially if the conversation is about pre war politics. A lot of implied background. It would be surprising if anyone blew their brain shouting “what about Hitler you effing idiot. Here’s photos of NAZIS invading Poland, admit you are wrong. Admit it. Admit it.”
Yet that’s exactly what you did. Over and over and over again. It would have taken a concerned, calm person about 3 questions to sort that argument out.
Because of a hunter?!? You've admitted you eat meat, but it's only moral when it comes in nicely-wrapped packages at the supermarket? The Scottish Blackface is not endangered and is enjoyed as a dish (and dare I say, a lover (sorry Burzhum, a little joke)) by a great many Scots. But this is proof that Americans be crazy. Thanks for the update. Or maybe you've just lost it, buddy.
Was it illegal or immoral? Did you have meat for dinner? Mind you, I have limits. I would happily hunt elephant hunters. But I think you're trying a little jab, and failing. Stay on topic. This is people bombing other people.
