For Hillary, probably used Tracy / Flick (If you know this movie, you know how it fits). She is old news so don't really pay attention to her in ages.

I might view it as old school, Congress still worked for the people. Now they work for the donors.

My desire is fewer lawyers in Congress and more farmers, would actually solve some issues and not create more.

Seems easy to see but never sure what causes the blowback here?
Just assume they are trolling as clickbait.

Well we will see.
Like it said China has a billion + people how are they going to eat.
Soy beans and wheat corn ect will be at a high demand they can shift to south America but there is always a price to pay and for how long can they last at paying high prices. How long can S. America take of the US crushing them? China is a paper tiger don't forget that.
We are resetting the global economy, the US has been preyed upon by its "Friends and allys" the EU shits on the US at every turn why should we be favorable to them? Because 300 years ago our ancestors came from there. China will collapse if Trump goes at this full bore . Is it good for China no, but it's great for The US the chi coms are shitty thieves and they will get what comming.

Explain your comment. Compare/contrast the Trump administration, and 2025 America and tariffs to Rome and Nero.

Well, to be fair, Biden proved that bike riding was too dangerous

Ukraine
Prior to the war, the biggest export was food with Russia and China and Middle East getting most of that food.
My guess it is why China did not condone Putin and the Peace talks are in the Middle East.
If the Americas and Europe wanted to cut the nuts of Russia and put China back in their cage, they would be aligned to accomplish this.

Nero played the fiddle as he watched Rome burn in the fire he setby Cheese GritsHistory does repeat (kind of)
You’re correct in the fact that Nero didn’t do that, it was a fabrication that has been repeated over and over again.
Fake news does repeat itself, it seems.
quote:
The Roman historian Tacitus wrote that Nero was rumored to have sung about the destruction of Rome while watching the city burn; however, he stated clearly that this was unconfirmed by eyewitness accounts. When the Great Fire broke out, Nero was at his villa at Antium, some 35 miles from Rome. Though he immediately returned and began relief measures, people still didn’t trust him. Some even believed he had ordered the fire started, especially after he used land cleared by the fire to build his Golden Palace and its surrounding pleasure gardens. Nero himself blamed the Christians (then an obscure religious sect) for the fire, and had many arrested and executed. But while Nero may have been guilty of many things, the story of him fiddling while Rome burned belongs firmly in the category of popular legend rather than established truth.

Nope
It is fine for a retired D POTUS to take a nap
It is fine for a retired R POTUS to play golf
Where I have the issue is if you are that old, you need to be retired, not POTUS.
Prime POTUS years seem to be in their 50's and 60's, after that, out to pasture.

This is bullshite. Or you havent been paying attention
60 years ago your govt opened the doors to to China, Vietnam, Imperialist Japan for cheap arse goods (see Nixon, repub)
50 years ago your govt GAVE the Panama Canal away, which is now controlled by China (see Carter, DIM)
40 years ago your govt gave away intellectual property to China, Korea (see Clinton, DIM)
20 years ago your govt sold uranium to and mocked 80s foreign policy with with Russia (See Obama, DIM)
I assume all that happened during your lifetime? But only Trump gets your criticism? What a joke

The only thing that repeats, is stupidity from the Democrats at the expense of the American people.
