$999,999,999 is just fine though!

Stop focusing on an arbitrary figure and start focusing on a real progressive income tax with no loopholes or workarounds.

she barely tried to win.

Fuck off with this bullshit lie. All the fucking dumbasses that voted against her because of Gaza deserve to be criticized every fucking day for their incredible shortsightedness.

No, you’re a dumbass that thinks any large group of people can be said to think exactly in a certain way.

Sure seem to know a lot about what they think

You’re both wrong and right? I’m assuming there are differences among what pedophiles think. Some may be self-loathing and others sickeningly proud.

Merkel was around for a long time, must have done something right.

what what

At least he doesn’t have to worry about his healthcare premiums

It’s amazing how fucking stupid these people are.

I’m not saying it’s an equal society for women but…

Illiteracy among women has been on a decrease since 1970, when it was 54 percent, to the year 2000 when it was 17.30 percent.

Iranian female education went from a 46 percent literacy rate, to 83 percent

According to a UNESCO world survey, at the primary level of enrollment, Iran has the highest female-to-male ratio in the world among sovereign nations, with a girl-to-boy ratio of 1.22: 1.00

According to UNESCO data from 2012, Iran has more female students in engineering fields than any other country in the world.

Women participate more in the workplace (still far from equal). Women’s workforce participation rate went from 9.1 percent in 1996 to 14 percent in 2004 to 31.9 in 2009.

I personally think the US and Iran have more alignment than the US and Saudi Arabia. True, the Saudis are trying to modernize but women could drive and vote (even if the vote is a farce) in Iran well before Saudi Arabia. Iran also has a relatively young population which is less opposed to Westernism. Not condoning the authoritarian government. Every time the Iranian people have an uprising I hope they can finally pull it off.

It’s because Schumer worked to get this to happen, then bowed out at the end so he could pretend he had nothing to do with it.

What have you read that proves that to be true?

He was the architect and the driving force behind this capitulation.

Again, based on what?

So people are downvoting MiddleAgesModem for falling for a blatantly obvious attempt by Schumer to redirect blame.

I have more upvotes than downvotes, in case you didn’t notice. Maybe not everyone agrees with your unsubstantiated accusations. Some of us still need proof to form our opinions. You disregard proof so you can maintain your inflexible opinion.

No, it’s not Chuck Schumer. Good argument, champ. You should be proud of yourself.

The deal was the Republicans got their eight votes from senators that aren’t up for election soon.

And the proof that Schumer engineered it? Does he control every member of the party or not?

That’s a lot of convenient assumptions that prevent you from having to examine your preconceived notions.

Ain’t no fucking way Chuck Schumer isn’t responsible for this. That motherfucker has been doing shit like this for a while. But, let’s be fair and say, for some fucking reason, that Schumer had nothing to do with this. Then he has absolutely no control over his party, and he should go.

Is that a joke? Senators are independent human beings, Schumer doesn’t have a mind control device.

He did EXACTLY what you all said you wanted him to do. Now, the goalposts have been shifted so you can continue to grind that axe. It’s bad faith.

Like, either he sucks at his job and needs to go or he coordinated this and needs to go. And I no longer think he is bad at his job. Out of touch? Yes. A fucking dipshit? Yes. But bad at his job? No. I am not stupid enough to believe that for one second.

Do you have any actual PROOF that Schumer engineered the capitulation? Your personal opinions on the matter aren’t really what’s under discussion here. Just vague and unsubstantiated accusations, pretty Trumpian if you ask me.

Which means we need to replace every Dem senator with progressives.

Keep living in a fucking dream world. Any honest person knows that that is an impossibility. You’re going to hold out for something that can’t happen and in the meantime, Republicans will continue to control the country. It is BEYOND fucking stupid.

Why do we need to replace all the moderate Democrats that did EXACTLY what you said you wanted them to do?

You think Liberia is currently a colony?

Go back to school yourself.

Chuck Schumer voted against the capitulation. Blame the Senators who voted for it.

Put aside your axe to grind with Schumer and make statements that reflect reality.

Like the others, he pussed out.

I’m sorry, it’s naive to not believe your dumbfuck, baseless conspiracy theory?

Other way around, champ.
