Double down on our Debt and defecit spending

This is something which R never address when they are in power. I think YUUGE deficits will bring economy down, despite business-friendly politics of Trump. I will be glad if I am wrong, but I do not see how one can borrow that much without consequences.

Now we know at least one part of the apparent Democrat Message: "We're raising taxes"

http://patrick.net/post/1314324/2018-03-10-democrats-we-will-raise-taxes-if-we-take-back-congress-in-2018

By the way, if the Dems are worried about the budget deficit, that means no increases to Social Programs if they win back the Congress.

Political suicide. Who do they think they are taking other people's hard earned money.

That doesn't matter, the core base of Dem voters don't pay any taxes.

Remember what Romney said about the 47%?

Legal gun ownership is negatively correlated to violent crime. Try again without the mindless talking points next time.

So tha's why violent crime is so low in America and so high in Japan, Sweden, Norway, etc.. I always wondered about that.

So that's why blue states are paying welfare to red states. I always wondered about that.

God this is really a big learning day for me at patnet.

Day 411 Of the Trump Admin:

Is 411 days more than a month?

Over 411 days with Obama and Hillary still walking free. WTF is the orange douchebag limp dick slacker doing all day in the white house? What about Ryan and McConnell. Are they all spending their days in the time honored conservative tradition of diddling little boys instead of pursuing the criminal traitors in our midst? Sessions is pursuing black kids smocking doobies while the real criminals smirk and smile.

Patnet's own team deplorables said there would be perp walks day one of the trump administration. There have been BOMBSHELL revelations one after the other after the other. Yet no justice. Obama has boldly returned from hiding overseas. Who is responsible for this abomination, this travesty, this, horror?

It seems failure IS an option with team trump. Can any of the trumpets let us know when trump will be getting off his ass and correcting this abysmal situation. You guys are over 411 days off with your original prediction so far and counting.

And they should know. I'm sure several consult with Trump daily.

On the Conservative channels, and all over international media, the topic is Trump's North Korea Breakthrough.

On US MSM, the topic is Stormy Daniels.

Who are the serious ones?

Tell us how this is an different than when Obama was in charge? Except for the scripts being flipped. An honest person would see this. They love it when we fight. That is what they want. A smart person would see this.

This is obvious to smart and honest people

Hmmm, I remember being pissed off about Holder's concealment of the ATF Gun Sales to Mexican Drug Lords, the Benghazi Disaster, Libya, Syria, Holder's non-prosecution of banksters, the ceaseless bowing and grovelling and apologizing, the spying on Journalists, and Obama's war on Whistleblowers.

Not whether Obama slept with a lady boy long before he came to office or whatever.

Homogeneous countries: Although Sweden's crime rate ain't so low anymore and there are regular grenade attacks.

If you got rid of "certain demographics", the US crime and murder rate would be lower than Europe, even with ownership of millions of private firearms that outstrips several entire populations of European Countries.

I suppose a part of White Privilege Western Excellence is not "having" to commit crimes.

Stormy Daniels?

Yes, all those many things were selective.

Stormy Daniels is a bombshell that will put Obama and Hillary in prison? How does that work?

What happened to all your postings about the BOMBSHELL memo that was going to put Obama and most of his administration in jail? Waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. Why is super donny failing to protect the American public from this menace to society?

At least Hillary is in prison so we can all be safe

And Obamacare was Repealed and Replaced just as promised lol

That biased media has really been beating up on ol Donnie about failing to do anything about ppACA, I wonder why that is. Lmao

Democrats should keep up the bad work! Already the tide of public opinion sweeps away from them, and soon they’ll have painted themselves as not only irrelevant, but also traitorous. Keep it up!

Somalia is a homogeneous country. How's that working out?

It’s ruled by a religion that ensures third world barbarian standards wherever it’s allowed to fester. Nobody ever said national viability was created by a single factor. If it were that easy, anyone could nation build! However, it’s easy to fuck it up. One awful factor like a horrible poisonous religion can manage.

Contradict yourself much?

Somalia is deeply divided by "clans" which are in effect different ethnic groups:

COMPARED to the great majority of African countries, Somalia is one characterised largely by distinctive homogeneity.

Regardless of regional distribution all Somalis speak the same language, practice the same religion – virtually all belong to the “Shafi i Rite” of the Sunni faction of Islam - and eat the same food – with only minor deviations. Though there is a small Somali Bantu population, descendants from various East African populations, most of them converted to Islam.

In this sense the country does not compare to Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa or Ethiopia where the plethora of ethnic groups and tribes make bringing everyone onto the same page, a mammoth task.

Yet, Somalia is a country so divided it has failed to form a unified government since the beginning of the war in 1991.

During the Siad Barre dictatorship (1969-91) one of the strongest governmental emphasis was to eliminate clan-associations. Anyone openly declaring themselves from a particular clan risked being reported by the numerous Barre-spies and placed in custody. Often for an undefined period of time.

So divided is Somalia one of it’s breakaway territories, Somaliland, woke up this morning with a light head having just celebrated its 24th “independence” anniversary on May 18th - a secessionist move that followed some time after the overthrow of Barre.

Therefore as it stands, Somalia is now been divided into three regions each with a separate president and each from a different clan.

Somalia, really? It's not really much of a state at all.

Ancient Scotland and Modern Somalia were/are riven by Clan Rivalry rather unified than by nationalist sentiment. A Modern Scott (or Mongolian) sees themselves as a Scot first, and a MacGreggor second. When was the last time you heard of endemic clan violence in Scotland? Whereas a Modern Somali sees themselves are as PooPoo Clan Member First, a Muslim Second, and is vaguely aware that some warlord controls Mogadishu that supposedly runs this Somalia place way down the list.

See New Guinea for a country in transition from clan/tribe to nation-state. As Diamond reported, most of the oldies are happy they live in one big state, since they don't get bushwhacked while fishing by a neighboring tribe member.

Who says it's one factor, anyway? Homogeneous countries are generally safer, more peaceful, more stable than non-homogeneous countries.
