Are you concerned about replacement?

I thought you were saying you realized you hadn't answered it.



So, it really provides some context around her decision to leave. She was in a tough, thankless job and had already stuck it out longer than anyone had managed to do for decades.

A more meaningful context is the fact of how she colluded with the clintons to fuck over bernie and his supporters.

I am thinking about it, and Fredo was a globalist. He wanted to move the gambling, and whoring jobs to Cuba, rather than having them stay in America. Michael Corleone was a non-localist, in that he wanted to move the gambling, and whoring jobs to Las Vegas. Their father, Vito Corleone, was a localist. He wanted to keep the gambling, and whoring in his old neighborhood in New York.

Historically, gambling has been seen as dangerous to businesses. Even when made legal, it would be made legal in one location, far away. Often it was not legal for locals to gamble at that location. So a business owner from Cleveland would travel to Las Vegas, spend a limited amount of time gambling there, and go home having lost some money.

These days, gambling is becoming legal all over the place. This is a form of localism that historically would not have been seen as a good idea. So far, the disaster that they said would happen has not, but we will see.

there is more to globalization that profit motive.

it is overtly about destroying the west and it's democratic and human rights norms.

globalists have sided with evil.

How old or young I am has no importance here. My claims are either accurate or not. If you detect inaccuracies, feel free to share them, but you'll need to be specific.

the criminality and corruption of hillary has been shown for years............but i'm betting that you 'trust' the FBI when it comes to her............right?

don't bother answering........you'll sound just as brainwashed as most other lefties here

I think the fairer criticism of her is that she was a weak fund-raiser and allowed the Obama people run roughshod over her, resulting in the DNC being deeply in debt in 2015. That's why they ended up with their hand out, asking the Hillary Victory Fund and the campaign itself to bail out the party. That was a really weak position to be in. Once Clinton was effectively bankrolling the party's activities, by way of her fundraising, the party wasn't on strong footing to insist on unfettered discretion about where that money goes. It would have been the same if the Sanders fundraising machine had been the one to ride in and rescue the party's finances. It's hard to insist on independence when you're financially dependent.

One of the great things about globalization is how it has fostered the strengthening of the west and the spread of human rights norms. Anti-globalists may not intend to be siding with evil, but their efforts slow that improvement.

I dislike a lot of Hillary Clinton's policy positions, but I have to admit she's almost certainly an unusually non-corrupt politician, just given the incredible scrutiny she has withstood for literally 30 years without anyone finding anything significant against her. That's why the right is stuck vaguely talking about criminality and corruption, rather than being able to point to any actual criminal or corrupt act.

As for the FBI, that was a real study in corruption. Comey acted not as an impartial law enforcer, but instead a party activist, using his office to witch-hunt for wrongdoing by Clinton. And, even when he had to grudgingly admit he couldn't find any crimes, he STILL used that office to smear her, personally (e.g., labeling her "careless" which is a legally meaningless statement). And when that failed to sway the polls enough, he jumped back in, right before the election, and implied (wrongly) that a laptop the FBI had in its possession might have evidence of criminal conduct by Clinton (it didn't). In doing so, he swung the polls more than enough to account for the Trump victory. His corruption changed the outcome of the election.

define some terms. the big one is selling out to China over entry into their markets (which they tariff and also have regs like forced sharing of IProperty for joint ventures.) and then use SCO to restrict access anyway

whatever promises were made about cheap consumer goods being good for US consumers
is dwarfed by job losses
Then there are the nasty things like Chinese espionage, Confucius Universitys, and the big one is paying off family members ( like the Bidens) for influence to positions of power

Even NAFTA had to be re-worked as Chinese supply chains were taking over auto parts

Dont expect any reforms though -too much money involved going to the powerful
So they distract us by warring against Russia

You're fucking insane.

It’s simple fact. Does it upset you.

how long till theres only one race?

I don’t care… most people are at some level a mix.

Certainly sounds like you live like a scared animal. You say the slightest sound will provoke violence out of you, like a scared animal. Scared animals do not lock their doors either, they use the threat of violence to protect themselves.

Yeah because,...you know,....thats EXACTLY what I said right? Not that Im a light sleeper or anything...

[Port Tack]

and does that bother you?

Nope, looking forward to it.

There are no races per se. That's pre-Human Genome thinking fostered by the same fucking morons who keep saying the KKK votes for the Democrats.

The five racial categories used most recently by the United States Census Bureau (White, Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander) reflect the current perception of race in the U.S. However, the number of human races has varied throughout U.S. history, reflecting the shifting social and political motivations, including slavery and immigration, a fact that highlights the significant ways that race concepts are driven by social forces. Presently, racial categorizations vary across cultures—for just one example, there are at least 18 terms to describe a person’s race or skin color in Brazil ...

...Racial categories in the U.S. are drawn, in part, on the western concept of race first described by Linnaeus, which emphasized differences among humans based on geographic, physical, cultural, and behavioral factors. As described in Marks (2016), these categories were heavily influenced by the social, cultural, and political factors of that time....

How Science and Genetics are Reshaping the Race Debate of the 21st Century
In 2003, scientists completed the Human Genome Project, making it finally possible to examine human ancestry with genetics. Scientists have since tackled topics such as human migrations out of Africa and around the world....

...Ultimately, there is so much ambiguity between the races, and so much variation within them, that two people of European descent may be more genetically similar to an Asian person than they are to each other...

..In the biological and social sciences, the consensus is clear: race is a social construct, not a biological attribute. Today, scientists prefer to use the term “ancestry” to describe human diversity (Figure 3). “Ancestry” reflects the fact that human variations do have a connection to the geographical origins of our ancestors—with enough information about a person’s DNA, scientists can make a reasonable guess about their ancestry. However, unlike the term “race,” it focuses on understanding how a person’s history unfolded, not how they fit into one category and not another. In a clinical setting, for instance, scientists would say that diseases such as sickle-cell anemia and cystic fibrosis are common in those of “sub-Saharan African” or “Northern European” descent, respectively, rather than in those who are “black” or “white”.

Disagreed on Fredo; his problem was jealously of his younger, smarter brother. So jealous that he betrayed his brother and, therefore, his entire family.

Agreed that Fredo had other options such as coasting or working hard on his own without setting himself against his own family.

Michael put the hard work into school, college, and then finally heroically serving with honor in WWII. These are all laudable actions to us, but to his family, he was not putting in the hard work. Sonny(the oldest son) began committing crimes when he was a teenager, and continued committing crimes when a normal person (like Michael) would have been going to college and serving in WWII. In that family/organization Sonny's crimes was seen as the hard work. So Sonny was the natural choice as leader/godfather when his father died. Michael was willing to put in the hard work when there was absolutely no one else willing to do it, for instance killing the police officer, but he really wanted someone else to do it.

When Sonny died, Michael had to take over the leadership. Michael was no ones first choice (not even his own). Fredo was stepped over, because he would not put in the hard work. If Fredo had been willing to put in the hard work, he would have been the second choice after Sonny. Even if Sonny had lived, Fredo would have had a high position in the organization. Or Fredo could have accepted that he would not have a high position, not put in the hard work, and just coasted. He would have been taken care of, and had a good life.

Fredo wanted the high position, but did not want to put in the hard work. That left him the option of finding another organization willing to give him a high position without hard work. The reason another organization was willing to do this was that Fredo was betraying his own organization/family. In that way, we are both correct.

Obviously, all this is just what I see in the movies. These people are not real, and the movies are not real.

i only see racism on the left.

Then why do you suppose every openly white racist group like kkk were trump lovers?
