*TRUMP SEEKING OVER $1,000 IN DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR AMERICANS
Cool. Hope I don't need a bank account for that shiz. Wonder how that's gonna work...
Off-the-cuff prediction, knowing America: Not only will it require a bank account, but it will be entwined with the IRS. Either directly, with forms that make people give statements relating to tax status—or more likely more subtly, somehow that makes people dox themselves in ways that will be useful to the IRS.
Cf. the institution by the American Kerensky of the Social Security system, replete with Social Security Numbers. Where will this lead? Will ☭Trump be the American Lenin?I admit that I am going out a bit on a limb there. It is too early to tell where that will lead; but on the other hand... FYI, American “Social Security” cards used to be explicitly marked, “NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION”. LOL. Has America seen any greater mass panic since the Roosevelt era?
Revised: Trump is seeking $1,000 per head to plow into Bitcoin
Excellent! :-)
Just as long as the Americans tick the box saying that they hodl virtual currency. :-/
*TRUMP SAYS ‘WE’RE GOING BIG’ ON VIRUS RELIEF MONEY
That's the only way Trump goes.
He’s a
big talker.
Maybe Trump should ask the Chinese for advice on how to build amazingly big border walls—and do it with
style!The Chinese: “We will build a wall!”MADE IN CHINAAmerican Twit-in-Chief Trump: “#TWEET #TWEET” What’s wrong? You Americans can’t build a simple wall for yourselves, ever since you shut down most of your industrial base and outsourced its functionality to China?
Lulz.I have news for you: The People’s Republic of China pwns your country. Now, I have no sympathy for the Communists; to the contrary, I hate them with fire. I am merely pointing out that, for example, you, the most pestilent warmonger country in the history of Earth, could never dare to risk a war with the Red Chinese.
Bernie Sanders will probably be shouting that Trump should give $2000 to every American and $3000 to every Mexican.
I think you meant a bunch of other politicians from both “(D) Pepsi”
and “(R) Coke”. Although Sanders is an admitted Socialist, he himself has said that mass-immigration is bad for the American working class. Therefore, I would not assume that his almost overt Marxism would take the form that you are suggesting.

You said being a democratic socialist means a more international view. I think if you take global poverty that seriously, it leads you to conclusions that in the US are considered out of political bounds. Things like sharply raising the level of immigration we permit, even up to a level of open borders. About sharply increasing ...
Bernie Sanders
Open borders? No, that's a Koch brothers proposal.
Ezra Klein
Really?
Bernie Sanders
Of course. That's a right-wing proposal, which says essentially there is no United States. ...

But I think what we need to be doing as a global economy is making sure that people in poor countries have decent-paying jobs, have education, have health care, have nutrition for their people. That is a moral responsibility, but you don't do that, as some would suggest, by lowering the standard of American workers, which has already gone down very significantly.
Strictly speaking, he
is correct in identifying open borders as what would be more properly described as a globalist-capitalist corporate agenda
(which, I will add, is always substantively indistinguishable from the International Communist agenda). Of course, I think it’s a ploy to pander to the masses. But it does demonstrate the folly of picking leftie names out of a hat for rhetoric about leftist policies. In my opinion, Sanders is the left’s counterpart to Trump: A candidate who
purports to oppose the establishment, and makes rhetoric that appeals to the working class. If the working class were to turn from Trump to Sanders, I do predict that they would be just as disappointed as they have been with Trump. See how that works?
By the time this is done universal basic income may well be a thing in several countries including the US. China made commies out of us all just with one asshole eating a bat that fucked a pangolin.
Forking hell, the Chinese even pwn America by accident! Why, it is almost as if the proud Ovine-Americans are
begging for tyranny, and will eagerly embrace any excuse that their government has the opportunity to offer.

Paranoiac. You are at high risk for contracting the contagion of
slowly progressing schizophrenia.* STFU and turn back to the TV, if you don’t want to be in need of re-education. For your own good. You do not appreciate the American freedom that you enjoy; people who love you will want to help you with that.
