That was when there more moderates in Congress and they could work out compromises. Now Team Blue is "We're woke and the other guys are Fascists."

Bush Sr was divisive, so was Jr...they just used more family friendly terminology to frame the other side as opposition rather than partners

Well, I know for a fact illegals are getting free medical care and some do vote. In 2023, they cost us $20 billion just on education for them.

That nafta deal wasn't a good one though

I don't like Clinton or much of what he accomplished. I wish I realized how rare working across the isle and not demonizing the other side was gonna become...I would've appreciated at least that part of his presidency more in the moment.

I don't think NAFTA & GATT were bad per se. The problem is we ignored an obvious problem for the next 30 years. Now Trump is throwing tariffs at it, but they'll have little impact. Unfortunately, the way Congress is currently, I don't think the necessary legislation has a chance in hell of passing. So we'll continue to hosed by our own bad policy and POS politicians, while Team Blue convinces their base the problem is Team Red are fascist, White Supremacists, killing ***** people, "kidnapping" illegals, etc, etc, etc.

I remember my conservative friends telling me Team Blue is anti-america and I thought "no, they just have a different vision of America." Team Blue is definitely anti-american and proud of it.

Yup give us what we want or else we will shut the government down. It doesn’t matter who’s in control both wings do it, but the left seem have less a moral compass. Also to add this pork belly bills is getting out of control. I don’t mind the government shutdown down for rest of the year besides it will save us some money and detox from the politics.

There won't be a detox, I'm sure antifa is looking forward to duking out with the military and then crying "See, we told you their fascists."

I don't think Sr was that divisive. He just referred to Team Blue as "they/them," which is ironic given that LGBTQxyz has taken over the Dem party. OTOH, Dubya labeled people traitors for not supporting the war.

"The industries that once absorbed educated men — technology, finance, law, consulting — are no longer safe havens. Tech firms are cutting staff. Startups are sputtering. Artificial intelligence is eliminating entry-level jobs faster than new ones appear. White-collar ladders that once led to stability are now missing rungs or disappearing altogether."

"Starmer says people will not be able to work in UK without digital ID"

As it happened: Starmer says people will not be able to work in UK without digital ID

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch calls the scheme a "desperate gimmick", while the Lib Dems fear it would force people to turn over their private data.

"China’s social credit system is a comprehensive initiative designed to assess and manage the trustworthiness of citizens and businesses. Implemented through sophisticated surveillance and data analytics, it assigns scores based on personal behavior, financial transactions, legal compliance, and online activities. Those with high scores enjoy privileges such as better job opportunities and favorable loan terms, while low scores can lead to restrictions like travel bans or limited access to education."

Enough with the sensationalism and photos or depictions of people under extreme stress or torture. I agree that universal digital ID along with CBC is something to be avoided even fought against... vehemently.
Anyone remember Covid and the mandates?
Questioning the state of affairs?
Starmer... haha...

It's not sensationalism, it's just what is planned for our future, what we will face, basically. China is already deep under it, they were the model where companies like google helped them develop it...now it's coming to the west and other nations as ww3 heats up, all the immigration battles across the entire west. I'm not trying to mince words really, that's what's coming in the future. You're going to be face scanned and tracked everywhere in public, we're basically already there with cell phones anyways. Why it matters is because the future is being determined by ***** humanists and big tech. No jokes here, just the way it is. All of us are tracked and targeted through the internet already, with targeted ads, etc. China uses that to punish you with whatever tyranny they want to use, it will be the same here. Just wait until the ai is used to target us with weapons systems instead of ads, because that's what's coming, eventually.
