    I was wondering when he would pop his Rational Self-Interest head up. He’s been uncharacteristically silent for a while, not performing his usual contrarian stunts for attention. He was smart enough to keep his head down for this insanity.

    But when something threatens his money, he’ll be there.

      “In power”? In a perfect world he’d never again be on this side of a prison cell!!

    The Republican party deserves to die for allowing Donald Trump to rise to power. The Democrat party deserves to die for being useless to stop them. America needs a whole new fresh start with new parties

    Hopefully the republicans can go the way of the whigs, the democratic party can become the conservative party they so desperately want to be, and we can create an actual party on the left.

      I’ve wanted this for ages. And it’s represented so well in Republicans having only one platform: “Oppose Democrats. If it makes a Democrat angry, do it.”

      Cleanse - and I mean CLEANSE - the opposition party. No one here can claim the Democrats never have good ideas. And yet, we can definitely do better than them. A better party means having better ideas - not just “Stop them libruls”. Bernie just toured the States with a message of exactly what that would look like.

    Don’t worry Rand Paul, your masters control the news and social media so it won’t happen. They’ll just keep a majority of people in an illusionary dream world.

    It’s insane to think that the same two partys remain in control in the US. Yet they call it democracy.

    • I’m referring to the voters, and their lack of action when their main party ha proven useless. The ‘swing voters’ never seem to swing between anything other than those two.

    Don’t trust anyone whose name is Rand, first or last.

    Or Paul for that matter, but that’s an entirely different issue. Paul knows what he did.

        I did, and I feel the need to remind you Rand Al’Thor had espisodes of insanity and a disembodied homicidal voice in his head. Sure he saved the world, but I wouldn’t want to be there during one of his fits trusting him not to accidently explode me.

      They’ll give the rest of the world a breather which will allow us to finish forming a new economic and strategic structure where the United States plays a substantially diminished role. After that it won’t matter whether the Republicans or Democrats are in power; at least not to most of the world.

        Clearly you didn’t read the headline. Or reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit

      If the 1920s really are repeating then, if we survive the Trump administration, we’ve got a modern version of the New Deal on the way.
