Still cannot defend your position on liberalism, what is wrong with neighbor helping neighbor instead of that being a federal bureaucrat? Now back on topic, why is this a breaking news since it is a state issue?
What the bloody hell are you on about? That's the third or fourth time you've used those words in this exchange. Why do you keep saying that to me?
You claim your country isn't liberal enough and gave us a couple bullshit issues neither of which has anything to do with your perceived definition of liberalism or your suggestions to make your country more liberal. How do you do it with fuel or without cash or by promoting programs that make people dependent. Liberalism has always been about a handup not an handout and that is where the blurry lines are with you and others
The sentence bolded below I agree with. However, the greatest threat is the Trump Party but that's not what DJT was aiming for. His aim is directed at the actual patriotic citizens and government office holders who are pure USofA that's bolded in red below along with his sights still set on being a wannabe dictator - a dictator like a Putin dictator. Both Russia and China are positioning themselves between the 2nd and 3rd spots as next in line with being threats to our Western civilization. This is the 2024 Trump political platform that's currently backed by the T-GOP.
'But the greatest threat to Western civilization today is not Russia, it's probably more than anything else ourselves and some of the horrible, USA-hating people that represent us,' Trump said.
Trump says 'USA-hating people' bigger threat than Russia to U.S.
Donald Trump said in a video posted Thursday that Russia wasn't the biggest threat to the U.S., but rather some of the country's own citizens, as he went on a screed about battling the 'establishment.'www.dailymail.co.uk
Trump, who announced his ambitions to be president again in November, laid out in a three and a half minute video that he believed the Russia-Ukraine conflict needed to be ended 'immediately' in order to stop 'World War III.'
He didn't specify what peace would look like, though pushed that the 'entire globalist neocon establishment' needed to be dismantled, the State Department, 'defense bureaucracy' and intelligence services needed to be cleared out and NATO's role needed to be reexplored.
I did not. I said my country was leaning too far left for me.
Then my apology, I think your country is too far left but I don't live there thus not my problem
While it's easy to just focus on nations since they represent the identifiable danger, what they represent is the push of an alternative form of governance and society that threatens the existing ruling form. Whether it was the USSR in the past decades to the combined Sino-Russo efforts at changing the current paradigm, the real question is how we're going to manage the idea of multipolar world. The real question for nations of the world in terms of how they align themselves is whether they want the easy route of authoritarianism, or the much harder work that's involved with maintain democratic governance.
Here is your problem we don't have a King, it isn't the federal government's role to provide for the welfare in your state or community that is your local responsibility and what your taxes fund. Promoting domestic welfare doesn't mean providing itNo.
The term dates back to the Magna Charta. Those pressuring the King were referred to as liberals, and later hanged for it.
"Liberal" has at least four meanings, as in portion share, easy going in nature, political leaning and social liberal which is an all encompassing belief system that Americans of the right have reduced to over simplicity as a word to be hurled at anything not Nazi.

That neighbor to neighbor thing? You must have invented it.
I would also cite history and various political movements, like woman's sufferage (considered liberal) but there are people in the world, usually rightists, who are incapable of admitting they are wrong.
It's more important focusing not on the political figures, but what they represent. Trump is just one of the many who channel the underlying frustrations in a variety of industrialized nations, because the energy he's channeling isn't unique to the US. Essentially it's the energy of those disenfranchised from the changes to industries over time, and who also witness what they understood their country to be, now moving towards something else.
Yep, because at the most basic level of both ideologies, liberals will always be the ones more interested in change. Conservatism implies an adherence to preserve the status quo, and that's proven out in just about every form of US political and societal change. Whether it's changes to labor practices or civil rights, those who opposed those changes were the ones who wanted to preserve the status quo and the benefits that came with it.
How so?
For one thing he bought an oil pipeline. That's too much government involvement in business for me. Misuse of public money.
This is how I nutshell it...
Did funding for NATO increase during the Trump term, over and above normal inflation? Yes or No? Suggest you explain to the Secretary General that his statement was false. Suggest you get over your hatred of Trump focusing on policies and results not personality and bombastic rhetoricThat's another Trump lie.
NATO member defense contributions of 2% were never obligations, but a NATO guideline decided at the NATO Wales Summit of 2014.
Funding NATO
NATO is resourced through the direct and indirect contributions of its members. NATO’s common funds are composed of direct contributions to collective budgets and programmes, which equate to only 0.3% of total Allied defence spending (around EUR 3.27 billion for 2023). These funds enable NATO to...www.nato.int
And yet it didn't happen before Trump made the demands. You have a problem with Trump and what he accomplished with NATO, take it up with the Secretary General.
Another foreigner that isn't paying for the Biden disaster. You have no standing in this country, solve your own problems, Trump didn't sell any in this country out other than the dependence creating radicals that apparently you support. You have a problem with what the Secretary General of NATO said, take it up with him
Yeah, it really bothered me and the 74 million Americans who voted for him that mealy mouth corrupt liberal foreign leaders mocked Trump while Americans benefited in this country due to his policies. I Understand completely how NATO is funded, you have a problem with what the Secretary General stated, take it up with him
it's a little late to start espousing mutipolarism, when the west had that chance and threw it away on marginalizing/sanctioning Russia... The SinoRussian orbit has been in play for awhile now. you may have noticed it, but the Russiaphobes were willfully blind
It's not that simple any more. .The EU is waking up to the fact dealing with China cant be done solely on a trade level.
