US minimum wage is worth less today that what it was 60 years ago. There has been no increase in 13 years:

Of course this is all the Reps fault. The Dem Party could do nothing in all those 60 years to reverse out the negative actions of the Reps. Its a disgrace, and its a disgrace that some people think that either party cares about the people.

Yeah, she is probably the dumbest PM ever to be elected. She won't last 5 minutes.

I will take that bet. Her first day she accomplished more than Biden did in 19 months. Producing your own energy is always better than buying from Iran, Russia and OPEC. She will never ever come close to being as dumb as Biden.

New prime minister in Uk first order of business was to restore fracking and boost oil and gas production in the UK to try to correct past energy policies..

You mean the "shitstorm" surrounding the female Finnish PM "having fun"? That shitstorm?

Yes, that one. Was hilarious. But how funky to have such a young adn 'with it' PM!. Imagine if the USA. Oh nevermind.

[JustTK]

name an important, complex, difficult but necessary and politically risky legislative accomplishment of the past 100 years now revered by the vast majority of Americans that was proposed by, fought for, planned, negotiated and passed by Repubs rather than Dems.

You can't. There aren't any.

Its super boring to read your same comments every time. You won't accept any criticism of the Dem Party and deflect everything tlo the Rep party. You still insist on thinking I have something positive to say about the Rp Party. I don't. I am tired of going round in circles with you. Its like arguing with a Born Again Chrsitian.

New prime minister in Uk first order of business was to restore fracking and boost oil and gas production in the UK to try to correct past energy policies. Biden this week cancelled thousands of wells in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana citing environmental issues. Poland, Belgium and other European countries are proposing new nuclear power plants to solve their energy issues. Europe is learning that renewable energy is not the current solution and is decades away from being the solution. USA not so smart. California dumb as a sack of hammers. CA does not have enough power for their current needs let alone the future. Rolling blackouts will be the future of California. Electric cars but no power to charge the batteries.

How do you know Trump "is a billionaire" instead of owing a billion dollars? Have you seen his tax returns?

The poor fella' has had his taxes audited for at least 7 years already, sadly preventing him from releasing them as he said he would as soon as the IRS is finished.

Oh yes, it is obvious how eager he is to release them to prove to the world what you believe and just asserted; that he has a single dollar above water, much less "is a billionaire."

No worries. Biden has legislated "87,000 new IRS agents with loaded AR15's" to make sure that Trump audit gets finished ASAP so we can all marvel at Trump's great financial success as a businessman that the mean old IRS has prevented him from doing for lo these past 7+ years.

I wonder. Does conning hillbillies out of their entitlement checks with nonexistent "Trump Election Defense Funds" count as being a financially successful businessman?

IRS sees his tax returns every year. At least he pays taxes. You don't! He employs thousands of people and is an incredible asset to America. You don't pay taxes and aren't. It doesn't matter if he is a billionaire or not. He is much more successful than you.

Thank you for admitting that Donnie the Dumbass was a failure. He tanked 14 businesses and stiffed thousands of people.

He received, in 2018 dollars, $413 million from his daddy. Had he done nothing with it, that $413 million would be worth over a billion dollars today. Had he done nothing! Exactly what he did while he was in office. Nothing.

So being a billionaire doesn't mean much does it? And nobody knows how much Donnie the Dumbass is really worth, since he never showed his taxes like he promised when he was POtuS. He's probably worth about $5 bucks. Not counting, of course, the value of the classified documents that he stole. Donnie is probably worth less than I am. He certainly has less class and less brainpower than I do.

If Trump is really a failure what does it make you? I think the Trump family has done quite well and I think there are millions of people that would like to be even half as successful as he is. He obviously has more buying power than you and his kids buying $40,000,000 houses lead me to believe that all the Trumps are successful. Have you even ever bought a house for $1,000,000 let alone $40 M? I bet not. Why do losers and welfare recipients always run down the successful?

I care for the same reason that USAns care about what's going on in China and Russia. Bcos I am concerned and fearful. Decisions taken in the USA unfortunately effect the entire world.

P.S.: you didn't see the "shitstorm" going on Finland? You missed out my man. That one was funny!

You mean the "shitstorm" surrounding the female Finnish PM "having fun"? That shitstorm?

All over a female wanting to have some fun while her male counterparts seem to get by with much worse behavior with only a "tsk tsk". But I dare not mention Donnie the Dumbass' "grab them by the pussy" remarks because I might offend the Moron Brigade who will say that he never said that. Or that is is "fake newZ". https://junkee.com/double-standards-...culling/339457.

WTF are you talking about? You are just doing the same as ET and PVM. Refusing to ackowledge the faults of the Dem party, and instead attack the Rep party. Well, I am not defending anything the Rep party did or does. So how can you claim I follow Rep party dogma. That's just plain stupidity.

Would you say the US Green Party is QAnon, the Communist Party is Republican? That's effectively what you are claiming.

Yes, there was Obama's tan suit. Shocking.

There is no Dem counterpart to Donald Trump. None. Never. Perhaps no counterpart to a sniveling, cowardly, lying traitor like Donald Trump among any democtatic country world leaders anywhere or ever.

And it must be pointed out that Donald Trump did not change the Repub Party. Nope. Not by one iota. He revealed it.

There is no Dem counterpart to the consistent pattern of Great Repub Recessions, skyrocketing unemployment rates and massive job losses over the past 100 years. Not one. Repubs own all of those major downturns.

There is no Dem counterpart to Moscow Mitch's proudly displayed egregious contempt for America and hypocrisy in securing a vow from his Party in Congress on Obama's inauguration night not to lift one finger to help him pull us out of the colossal, historic economic mess HIS Party just produced and for which the American people elected Obama to lead the clean up ASAP. Nor for his brazen manipulation of Supreme Court appointments in order to fix it with a Repub majority drawn primarily from the America-hating, QAnon loon, Anti-Sex Federalist Society list. None. Never.

Meanwhile, name an important, complex, difficult but necessary and politically risky legislative accomplishment of the past 100 years now revered by the vast majority of Americans that was proposed by, fought for, planned, negotiated and passed by Repubs rather than Dems.

You can't. There aren't any.

The fact that you struggle to falsely equate the extraordinarily consistent positive accomplishments that Dem leadership has done FOR America with the extraordinarily consisent horrific damage that Repub leadership has done TO America by demanding anyone cite the relatively utterly insignificant faults of the Dem Party is no different than equating fire fighters with arsonists on the basis that some fire fighters don't show up for their kids' school plays as often as they should and you once saw an arsonist toss a bread crumb at a pigeon.

Your pro Repub "Bothsiderism" and "False Equivalencies" are blatantly obvious and ridiculous.

Mod, can you ban this troll please?

There it is, plain as day...that QAnon/Repub thuggery. When they can't get there own way, they resort to threats and intimidation.

Just like a true troll!

[JustTK]

And there it is again, attacking the messenger.

Mod, can you ban this troll please?

That's true, but it doesn't explain why you, a foreigner, care about the political infighting inside the USA Very unusual is what I'm saying.

Washington, DC — A powerless figurehead world leader with no actual responsibilities is still barely clinging to life, according to sources. Family is said to be gathered at the White House as the leader's condition is reportedly quickly declining.

"It's sad to see the 'Big Guy' go," said Hunter Biden to reporters while brushing some white powder off his face. "I'll surely be lost without him. Also, has anyone seen my glass tobacco pipe?

Commentators are praising the dying figurehead as an "alive human who sat in the Oval Office to replace Trump until we could think of a better plan. " Dozens of mourners from around the country are already preparing to pay tribute to the dying impotent mascot of America.

The Babylon Bee will provide further updates as the situation changes. . .
