As the dollar goes, so does the rest of the planet... there won't be another superpower, once that happens and the smoke clears, for quite a long time. I don't know about that. Perhaps the term 'superpower' is the wrong choice, being a western concept and all. There have been great nations and cultures long before the US or it's dollar were ever even heard of. Life goes on. |

After the fall of Rome, there was a Dark Age that lasted over 500 years...and that was before the advent of high-explosives, long-range missiles or thermonuclear weapons were developed. As Einstein said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
Personally, I would favor having the United States to return to its Pre-WWI isolationist philosophy, close up its borders tight and let the rest of the world fight over the scraps of civilization. Unfortunately, the existence of nuclear weapons takes that option off the table. Even if we were not actually attacked, the overall destruction of the planet will eventually work its ways to our shores via radiation and/or nuclear winter. |

Mankind has the same strengths and weaknesses wherever their geography is, just in different ratios. Western concepts aside, life goes on and there will always be great nations, with or without us. |

Maybe the best way to deal with Trump is to ignore his tweets. That's what Republican lawmakers do. I'm not a fan of most politicians on either side of the aisle, but I think Senator Kevin Cramer, R-North Dakota might have the right idea.
Cramer said in an interview after reading the tweet. “Most of the time when the president tweets something that seems crazy, somebody else tells me.” “I don’t mean to be flippant,” he added. “When I wake up in the morning, the president’s tweets are not in the top 100 things I think about.” Amen Kevin, Amen. |

Just pathetic... Trump said Obama did nothing ... well another lie ... for votes in Nov ... just dismantled all of what president Obama had in place ... for Black lives matter... or children or other nationality's ... Trump's scrapping of Obama-era reforms hinders police reform... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/07/police-consent-decrees-trump-administration-oversight |

Support him and his administration 100% . They are doing an excellent job. What we hired him for. Drain the swamp. Four more years, easy.

Trump has done for the black community what Obama refused. He has our support.

Trump has gotten us out of that horrid NAFTA deal and now we have the USMCA deal. Make America great again. The first step act, revitalization program, historical black colleges fully funded and that is just the beginning.

Love you pump.... Again, implies that it is something that happened before. I always ask what 'great' things are we looking to have 'again'. |

I think, it was great some years ago, at a time, when the Native Americans lived in harmony with nature. But their values seem long forgotten |

I think america was great just after WW II, then industrialised commercialism gave only the illusion of greatness; the space race brought back greatness temporarily, but wars took the shine off. Now, big, but not great. Still better than communist countries though.
Draining the swamp is a stupid analogy. Swamps are where the little fish spawn, which turn into the big fish that you want. Swamps are full of diversity and activity and life. A drained swamp stinks as it decays and dries out, everything dies, then the unprotected organic goodness blows away, often leaving acid sulfate boggy soil. Not a good foundation for anything except developing another vibrant swamp. Translate that to political / community dynamics. Trump = chump. |

Come Sir, we know the variety of swamp, for example the type where dissolved oxygen is low, mosquitoes breed and little fish hardly grow beyond the size of small frogs... And then as you say, if the swamp gets smaller, there may be that 'acid sulfate boggy soil' that stinks partly because of rotting carcasses from the past. But the Swamp Mr. Trump meant is more dynamic; includes political alligators ... --XX I'm not particularly a fan of Trump - he is an ego maniac narcist and because he calls illegals rapists and has blonde hair, etc., he is racist. But here's an example on racism. George Floyd would've been another statistics local to US but because Trump was President it boiled all over the world media / & flamed up world against our own internal police brutalities. Even Hong Kong was watching. ---xxx On the World Stage: Now with world economy projected to go downhill the question the world faces is in which direction do they lean: Make in America, make America great ... or Allow China to take over world economy, gain world dominance It depends on who America elects: Trump ... or Bidden from the Swamp. |

Treyvon flamed up under Obama. Trump happens to be the president who encouraged police not to be too 'nice', to suggest second amendment folks should 'do something' about Hilary, and tout willingness to pay legal fees to those who would knock out 'protesters' Trump being so often able to excuse and/or encourage violence just adds to the issue that was here before he was elected. |
