Israel has universal health care as well, yet receives billions annually from the United States. Definitely something wrong with this picture.

Just a reminder that "the Antifa movement" is mostly worldwide, excluding a few countries like Russia and Hungary. We fought and won a world war against it once, and will do it again if necessary.

China has a centrally-controlled economy. They will win any trade war with the United States, which, not incidentally, has a moron as president.

But the guillotine is so much more appropriate.

Treat him like the lowlife he is. Restaurants, hotels, and all stores should refuse to serve him and his minions.

Truth is a left-wing bias in the view of Republicans.

Unfortunately that's true. It's certainly foolish to gamble pensions on the stock market when the billionaires are easily able to rig it. Pensions should be fixed and guaranteed, not subject to the whims of the rich.

All that is true, but I'm certain that they are not going to go away peacefully. And they will certainly rig any future elections. So how do you stop them from forming a permanent fascist dictatorship?

A reminder that the top 10% own 93% of all stocks according to Business Insider. To them it's a game of greed.

The only long-term solution is to move Israel to the United States, preferably Texas or Florida and give the Palestinians back their land and the right of return to the millions in exile. Does anyone really think Israel will ever be forgiven for murdering tens of thousands of Palestinian children?

Wait until they start flying planes into tall buildings.

Nazi Gestapo in action. They're the reason there's the 2nd Amendment. Time to start using it for the purpose it was intended, isn't it? You outnumber the fascists at least ten to one.

And those sales are never coming back as long as Americans have a fascist regime in power. Not just Trump either, but all Republicans. They enable him.

Just think how convenient it will be once they have all the jets and pilots to fly into tall buildings.

Very well positioned to fly into tall buildings.

I'm sure a lot of these extremely valuable and well-educated workers will be welcomed in Canada and Europe. The brain drain continues. Make America Stupid Again.

It's pretty much guaranteed that China will emerge victorious from any trade conflict with the United States. It's a centrally controlled economy verses cutthroat capitalism in the United States. And they have the rare-earth elements as the trump card.
