I think these are what Yahtzee's category of "dad games" is for

They love telling us 2+2=5. Some of us love accepting that.

Here's the thing. They kind of do have socialism. The government has a controlling interest in their biggest industry. They also have a government that is very responsive to the people. I'd argue they have one of the most successful examples of socialism in the world.

They don't advertise it. I've seen a right wing guy identify them as such, and then praising the Anders attack from 20 years ago as punishment for their socialism. I think it was the chinless guy who follows Theil around.

This guy is almost at the end of his life and decided to take the life of someone at the beginning because of something on the other side of the world

I haven't heard them explaining this. Have they said that this will help the rich pay the poor, or have they dropped all pretence yet?

I'd say the past 40 years have been set up to fail, but I don't trust the party of Reagan to fix the mess he started.

That's the thing he's actually good at. Acting. Getting people to believe in fiction. It's a good trait for an actor, a despicable power of conmen, and horrifying in a leader.

My old cat years ago lifted up his little paw... To grab my lip with his claw and split it open trying to pull my mouth shut.

Even with other reasons to consider war, pearl harbor would have been enough for the US to join by itself. Get this, when another nation declares war on you... You are in a war. Now you can talk about what led to that moment, but that moment was war.

There are people here who will tell you that they would trust the Russian government more than their neighbor, if their neighbor ever suggested that industry should be regulated.

You mean that they can land an airplane? Is that what makes them competent?
