Red is simply changing the meanings of words, for purpose of sophistry.  Scandinavia is socialist democracies.  With healthy, regulated capitalism.  So, in varying degree, is the UK, Italy, Germany, Japan, France, and the USA since the 1930s.



Also, just research any of Red's lies.  Google didn't start the web, Tim Berners-Lee started it at CERN, working there as a software engineer.  He and CERN made the HTTP and HTML freely available, no royalty payments, no monetized access in perpetuity, and thus was born the web as we know it.

More "winning" by the Trumpist EPA, from 2018:

I had not seen this one before.

Alarmist.

Hey, stupid piece of shit, look up "mesothelioma" sometime.  You are a stupid stupid piece of shit.

Meghan is simply an attention-seeking social climber unwilling to subsume her ego to the institution of the monarchy or play second fiddle to her sister-in-law, the impeccable future Queen, Kate Middleton.

Stories that Meghan hasn’t spoken to Kate for six months and has alienated staff with unreasonable demands are unsourced so need to be taken with a grain of salt. But there is an embarrassing video clip doing the rounds in which we can see for ourselves the power she exerts over Harry.

You can watch as Harry abases himself to ask a bemused Bob Iger, Disney CEO, to give Meghan a job.

“You know she does voiceovers” Harry says. “Ah, really. I did not know that”, replies Iger, spinning towards his wife.

“You seem surprised,” says Harry, stepping forward and looking a little desperate. “But yeah, she’s really interested,” he says, pointing to Meghan who is nearby chatting up Beyonce and studiously avoiding her husband’s eye.

“Sure,” says Iger, politely. “We’d love to try”.

Never once does Meghan come to the rescue of the husband she obviously has put up to it. After he’s done, she beckons him over to talk to Beyonce and Jay-Z, leaving the Igers like shags on a rock. Meghan wasn’t about to sully her dignity by asking the Disney boss for a job but she didn’t mind having her husband do the dirty work.

Harry is not the first man to be bewitched by a beautiful woman and behave in ways he will later regret. It’s an age-old story which speaks of his soft heart and innate chivalry.

Meghan has tapped into his deepest fears of the woman he loves being hounded to death by the paparazzi as his beloved mother Diana was. This is why he is so fiercely protective, and it is why Meghan wasted no time playing the victim, with a new twist of racism.

But it’s not racism which caused the Megxit crisis – the royal family and British public couldn’t have been more welcoming when Meghan suddenly arrived on the scene. She was hailed as a breath of fresh air for the monarchy.

If they were racist, the royals would not have embraced Meghan into their family or laid on a lavish wedding with all the bells and whistles.

Racism is just a convenient excuse and what a slap in the face to the 93-year-old Queen.

Harry spent his first 33 years content in the bosom of the royal family. Trouble only arrived when he married Meghan a mere 20 months ago.

Universal health care isn't socialism?  Well then what have you have been squawaking about all these years?

No Scandanavian country practices Socialism.
Not even with healthcare.

Oh?

Are there any coumtries that do, by your idiosyncratic definitions?

Shame that Sanders, with Mike Lee, got a bill through last year only to have BUSH veto it.

Using coarse language, Hyde suggested to Parnas that Yovanovitch should be removed from her position, and Hyde implied he or his allies were monitoring her.

"F**k that bitch," Hyde told Parnas on March 22, 2019, in response to a series of articles and tweets Parnas sent him. The following day, Hyde continued: "Wow. Can't believe Trump (sic) hasn't fired this bitch. I'll get right in that."

In a cryptic message, Hyde later wrote to Parnas: "They are willing to help if we/you would like a price." Hyde added: "Guess you can do anything in the Ukraine with money...what I was told."

Parnas, Hyde, Bolton, that juicy document drump....the prospects for an interesting and informative trial in the Senate are looking better these days. 


No one is fooled by Ward's attempt to define socialism as totalitarian Stalinism.

On this day in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Presidential Proclamation No. 2537, requiring aliens from World War II-enemy countries—Italy, Germany and Japan—to register with the United States Department of Justice. Registered persons were then issued a Certificate of Identification for Aliens of Enemy Nationality. A follow-up to the Alien Registration Act of 1940, Proclamation No. 2537 facilitated the beginning of full-scale internment of Japanese Americans the following month.

While most Americans expected the U.S. to enter the war, presumably in Europe or the Philippines, the nation was shocked to hear of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. In the wake of the bombing, the West Coast appeared particularly vulnerable to another Japanese military offensive. A large population of Japanese Americans inhabited the western states and American military analysts feared some would conduct acts of sabotage on west-coast defense and agricultural industries.

Official relations between the governments of Japan and the United States had soured in the 1930s when Japan began its military conquest of Chinese territory. China, weakened by a civil war between nationalists and communists, represented an important strategic relationship for both the U.S. and Japan. Japan desperately needed China’s raw materials in order to continue its program of modernization. The U.S. needed a democratic Chinese government to counter both Japanese military expansion in the Pacific and the spread of communism in Asia. Liberal Japanese resented American anti-Japanese policies, particularly in California, where exclusionary laws were passed to prevent Japanese Americans from competing with U.S. citizens in the agricultural industry. In spite of these tensions, a 1941 federal report requested by Roosevelt indicated that more than 90 percent of Japanese Americans were considered loyal citizens. Nevertheless, under increasing pressure from agricultural associations, military advisors and influential California politicians, Roosevelt agreed to begin the necessary steps for possible internment of the Japanese-American population.

Ostensibly issued in the interest of national security, Proclamation No. 2537 permitted the arrest, detention and internment of enemy aliens who violated restricted areas, such as ports, water treatment plants or even areas prone to brush fires, for the duration of the war. A month later, a reluctant but resigned Roosevelt signed the War Department’s blanket Executive Order 9066, which authorized the physical removal of all Japanese Americans into internment camps.

I can. So could you.

But neither result would answer the question I asked, especially since the lists don't all agree.
