    How do you not understand that 17% does not equal "mostly"? As I saw on another thread earlier, "Who dresses you in the morning?"

    ok - regulating business is not all about minimum wage. It’s a pretty easy search to show Sweden, although far from perfect, does attempt to regulate especially as it relates to environmental protections, for example, but that’s far from all they regulate.

    Sweden has swung right of center on immigration, and it’s fine. The government appears to be restricting immigration after a ton of it the past 10 years. They are trying to do it in a humane manor while also making sure they don’t hamstring their own industry. It’s far from perfect but it seems more measured than the slash and burn we’re seeing here.

    NATO is an organization in search of a mission. After communion nism fell NATO should have been disbanded or Russia should have been invited to join.

    chemgator got conned by the neocons at the Institute for the Study of War and now he's lashing out. Lot t falsehoods for 1 post. Trump's children, grandchildren and his employees speak highly of him. He's very smart, a great troller and according to tax lawyer Robert Barnes, he runs a clean business. When you play golf as well as he does at his age it tells me he's a good thinker. His granddaughter Kai is a scratch golfer (0 handicap) and she says grandpa still beats her fairly often (I'd guess 20% of the time at least,).

    Chairman of the Munich Security Conference cries. JD Vance touched a nerve with his excellent speech

    It might help if you quit watching CNN and MSNBC.

    I don't watch either. I get my news from on-line sources.

    Vance's speech is being called the second best Munich Security Conference speech since the one delivered by Putin in 2007. 22 minutes of truth that shook Europe to its core.

    The Europeans are incredibly angry with what JD Vance said but they haven't challenged him on the substance of his speech.

    I apologize if this is the redundant. This column from Bret Stephens of the NY Times says it all.
    Opinion | Vance’s Munich Disgrace

    I would also add the Stephens in no liberal. He was previously a columnist at the Wall Street Journal and his columns were very critical of Biden during Old Joe's presidency. Philosophically he could be described as a Reagan Republican adding that Reagan Republicans have become extremely rare having been replaced in today's Republican Party by members of the Cult of Donald who worship their Dear Leader or Republicans that are so intimidated by the Cult and its Dear Leader that they've become spineless sycophants.

    chemgator's favorite sources are the warmongering neocon think tank ISW, USAID-funded Reuters, AP and his favorite, Yahoo News

    Bret Stephens is not a Reagan Republican. He's the guy liberal publications pretend is a conservative so they can appear to be somewhat balanced

    Reagan would be a Trump supporter

    Trump is a populist. He touts ideas that are popular. MAGA is the he opposite of a cult. Note how MAGA changed Trump's speeches regarding vaccines.

    In 2015/2016 Trump learned what ideas were popular by paying someone to monitor Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage (according to Robert Barnes)
