    Yes, keep making enemies of the billionaires that got this administration into office and spent millions of dollars to do so. I’d very much love that for you.

      Good thing this isn’t a country that came about because a bunch of rich white dudes got tired of being taxed and started a revolution.

        That’s possibly reframing “no taxation without representation” a bit but I don’t entirely disagree with the sentiment.

          In the most literal sense we have representation, but it sure as hell doesn’t seem like it in practice… :(

            Literal only in the terminological sense. We elect “representatives” but they don’t actually represent us in any meaningful way.

              So, he could have paid other guys to fight the war and stayed home? Instead of being in the middle of the battles, and going cold and hungry in Valley Forge?

              There’s a lot of bad things you can say about Washington but enough good to at least make him complicated. He chose to limit his own Presidency, the opposite of our wannabe Führer. for one.

    I do so wish they would. Certain they won’t.

    Bezos bent knee & kissed the ring. Chances he’ll grow a spine? 1 in a few million.

    As a European, I must thank the US for making my pet products cheaper. Way cheaper. Way cheaper than I could ever expect.

    I just wish I could buy these products, these same products, without ruining the world and my morality as well.

    But what am I talking about… my cats deserve litter robots at 90 % discount. (Edit: obviously sarcasm)

        I set up a guest network called “Chinese Spy Devices” that is behind a VPN and all my electronics that need an internet connection go there. Have fun talking to each other guys!
