The Country of CHAZ

I think there are good people on both sides, but the parties are run by the extremes.

In the word of Tim Scott (rip) they "could **** up a county fair."

Taken to their logical conclusions there would be no difference to the average citizen.

Certainly there are good folks out there, but everyone of these federal politicians walks away filthy rich. I think the corporate democrats and the corporate republicans keep the system going that keeps them wealthy.

The corporations too. They know how to use tax cuts to grow their business and use regulations to shrink the upstarts. Makes me sad.

Having read a number of your posts I feel pretty comfortable that you would vote for Trump. It is disingenuous for you to suggest that, but for AOC's tangential relationship to the campaign, you would consider a Biden vote.

No sweat. It is obvious. I just was a little taken aback by the "weighing" part of your observation.

As far as aoc, I wouldn't consider a climate change task force co-chair position on biden's campaign team tangential, considering she was one of bernie's star pupils last Spring. If he wins she's pretty much guaranteed a plum committee position, of her choice, if not an outright administration position. Heaven help us all if it's as a climate change advisor, if you see what i'm getting at. However, I have faith in an American public that is aware of how she has relentlessly insulted them, each and every one, with the sanctimony of a screeching blackboard. She is not a nice lady, who, no doubt, agrees with pelosi in that a certain segment of America is nothing more or less than just "collateral damage," and, oh well, that's just the doggone way it is... Not with my vote.

When's the first debate? They can and will debate many issues beyond aoc, but rest assured, the green new deal will be solicited, if Fox is doing one of the debates, and not cnn, on a given night. She's small potatoes, but nonetheless a valuable tool for Trump. What the heck, start right off with the Ukraine and go backwards from there.

Unfortunately, most of us are left choosing between a theocratic fascist vision of say a, Tom Cotton, or Khmer Rouge in heels of AOC. They can both **** off.

Tom Cotton speaks about freedom of the people, and not about using the government to "hold" down the American people. Cotton wanted order on the streets instead of looting and murders so he suggested calling in the National Guard to assist. This is hardly a comparison to Khmer Rouge and totalitarian rule. There are many references he has made for democracy and freedom. He is a smart individual with a Harvard education, and not a bartender from New York. Tom Cotton is a true patriot. You know nothing about him and to compare him to Khmer Rouge or AOC shows you've done no research. OTOH, AOC leans Marxist and Socialist and is a true candidate to lead us away from democracy and into authoritarian government.

Tom Cotton is a United States Senator from Arkansas. Tom’s committees include the Banking Committee, where he chairs the Economic Policy Subcommittee, the Intelligence Committee, and the Armed Services Committee, where he chairs the Air Land Power Subcommittee.Tom grew up on his family’s cattle farm in Yell County. He graduated from Dardanelle High School, Harvard, and Harvard Law School. After a clerkship with the U.S. Court of Appeals and private law practice, Tom left the law because of the September 11th attacks. Tom served nearly five years on active duty in the United States Army as an Infantry Officer.Tom served in Iraq with the 101st Airborne and in Afghanistan with a Provincial Reconstruction Team. Between his two combat tours, Tom served with The Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. Tom’s military decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Infantry Badge, and Ranger Tab.Between the Army and the Senate, Tom worked for McKinsey & Co. and served one term in the House of Representatives. Tom and his wife Anna have two sons, Gabriel and Daniel.

Here are some comments he made regarding China where he criticized the government for concentration camps and their use of facial recognition software. This software has been provided by U.S. LEFT leaning companies to help the Chinese government clamp down on it's people


Remarks by Senator Tom Cotton on the Xinjiang Emergency

SENATOR COTTON: Good morning and thank you to John Walters for that kind introduction. And thanks to the Hudson Institute for inviting me to speak about China’s brutality in Xinjiang Province. It’s good to be back with you. Hudson continues to host some of the most important discussions on topics of great concern to America and the world. This event is no exception.

That’s because there’s perhaps no greater threat to freedom today than the communist regime in Beijing. One observer described Chinese communism as a system where the average Chinese subject “lives from birth to death under the eye of [the state]. Even when he is alone he can never be sure that he is alone. Wherever he may be, asleep or awake, working or resting, in his bath or in bed, he can be inspected without warning and without knowing that he is being inspected. Nothing that he does is indifferent . . . He has no freedom of choice in any direction whatever.” Actually, that’s how George Orwell described life in Oceania in his dystopian novel 1984. But it could just as easily describe life in China today.

No one suffers the oppressive weight of Chinese communism more than the predominantly Muslim minorities of far western China—especially the Uighurs. At least 800,000 and possibly several million Uighurs are currently detained in a modern-day gulag archipelago—run by a different communist power but no less wicked, atheist, and materialist. Xinjiang Province is home to just 1.5 percent of China’s total population, but 21 percent of China’s arrests. It would be as if one in five arrests in America happened in South Carolina. By some estimates one-in-ten Uighurs is currently detained. Detention quotas for some provinces are higher still, at around 40 percent of the total population.

Residents who’ve so far been spared these concentration camps are nonetheless subjected to Orwellian security and assaults on their privacy, religious faith, and way of life. The Chinese government is spending tens of billions on facial recognition, electronic spying, and coercive DNA collection, to create a database capable of tracking a person’s every move. This is the definition of a totalitarian system—one that exercises total control of your person, down to the very strands of your DNA.

Do these comments remind one of Khmer Rouge? These comments are hardly comments from a totalitarian leaning politician. However, I wouldn't put it past the "squad" and AOC to use this software to clamp down on the people of America when they defund the police and find out what a bad idea it would be to try to "rule" the criminal element thugs that are on the street.

Well presented.

Facist seems to be the 2020 buzzword of choice with the uniformed and ignorant. Oh that pesky Democrat party and their polls... It's rather similar to the loop fields of the obama admin intelligence community and the msm. Same principle; #Resist the nazi's!

TDS IS REAL AND AMONG US NOW. Protect yourselves at all times, because there's no length these hucksters won't trespass.

Ohhh! While I’m feeling all right wing and such....Margaret Sanger!

Looks like the Planned Parenthood in NYC is disassociating itself from Margaret Sanger over her views on eugenics.
