You must be locked into the Marx/Engels/Hegelian dialectic materialism and its system of logic.

That dictator reported to grace the VP slot of Joe Biden. They figured her illegal assertion of power will be good for the country since Joe Biden is losing his brain.

Fact is she is in gross violation of the 1st Amendment rights of the people. And secondly, her federalist power could not stand.
The Commerce Clause is still under the constitution as within the Legislative. That Commerce clause is already the law, and therefore the president could enforce that.

Commerce Clause
The Commerce Clause refers to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian.

Congress has often used the Commerce Clause to justify exercising legislative power over the activities of states and their citizens, leading to significant and ongoing controversy regarding the balance of power between the federal government and the states. The Commerce Clause has historically been viewed as both a grant of congressional authority and as a restriction on the regulatory authority of the States.

And those in poverty, like Little Peter, still spout off that capitalism doesn't work. They never realize how socialism has kept them suppressed and poor while the upper 1% live like kings and queens.

Meanwhile our Dear Leader does nothing to prevent the spread and protect Americans, explaining his colossal failure to act by assuring us that "Coronavirus will disappear one day Like A Miracle." FYI. Your cut-and-paste articles would be more interesting if they were shorter in length.


You leftists always spout that same trite narrative. To you leftists "doing nothing" is doing somthing, usually a lot, which contradicts your leftist propaganda line. An example of this is, "the founders of America were never religious" which you leftists scream constantly. Everyone with 1/2 A brain knows that our founders used the Judeo /Christian model and Bible as the model for the foundation of our great nation, blessed by God. Our founders were Ethical Monotheists.

When Chavez was still alive Venezuela was quite the stop over for American Liberals bashing America. Since he died, nobody stops there anymore. I guess it just went out of fashion. They've had a toilet paper shortage there forever. When that stuff recently became hard to get here, I was thinking that it may have made Liberals homesick for Venezuela and they would begin visiting there once again.

Well I guess once the airlines start flying once more, we will see it.


Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte, most of the Hollyweird crowd touted Chavez as a great and progressive leader. He progressed the country alright. He lead them into poverty, violence, skid row, desperation and utter despair. Now they boil their dirty socks to get some nutrition into their bodies. If I was a Venezuelan I would want to boil Penn, Glover, Belafonte and most of the Hollyweird multi billionaires.

====================
PeterS. All you do is create pack of LIES and DECEPTIONS. You will not prevail on all your malicious attempts to destroy president Trump. You are a first rated LIAR.

Here are the facts:
Capitalism has been part of our constitutional republic where in the American people are given that most valuable assets they have. That is Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. These are from the doctrine of the Christian-Judeo principles, where God originally gave us life with freedom to achieve the happiness. And to obtain this, is the freedom to learn, work, innovate, and create. These are all parts and elements of Capitalism, that made the United States the richest and most powerful country in the world. And therefore, the United States became the beacon of hope and prosperity of other nations that depend on us.

On the contrary, there are countries that are opposite to our goals and ideals, these countries are ruled by dictators who dictate to the people and enslave them to empower the ruler.
This is communism, socialism, and Marxism. China, Russia, NK, and Cuba are some of the countries ruled by the rulers of communism/socialism. That is the government feeds the people and control the wealth and power for the One-Man Rule. China for centuries has been engaged on this style of governance.

China has been however, dishonest, and due to the ignorance of the previous US administration, China had taken advantage of the US. The prior US administration was either dumb or traitor against the US, that succumbed to China's rule in business and industries, allowing China to manufacture all finished products ,and made the US the ultimate consumers of their finished goods, due to cheap labor force. While at the same time, the prior administration was so DUMB to realize that China had also been stealing all our intellectual properties. China then became the ahead of the US for decades.

Then here comes the brilliant Donald Trump. Realizing that China had taken all our manufacturers, and intellectual properties, he launched a program that lowered the taxes for corporations. This incentive prompted so many companies from China and other countries to come home. And at the same time, president Trump had taken back our intellectual properties that have been relentlessly stolen by the Chinese. US has still so many manufacturing companies in China lured by cheap labor. President Trump is geared to taking them home.

After over 3 years of Trump' presidency, US returned back as the top in the world economy and defense. China was gradually going down, and as a result, China had maliciously invented the Coronavirus to destroy the US economy and the people by sending 5 million Chinese since Nov. 2019 when the virus started to erupt. Chinese carried the virus o all parts of the world and most specially the US, focused more in NY where many Chinese had settled and spread the virus.

While these are happening, China denied/lied to the world that the virus is capable of transmitting from human to human. Then China to hide its evil scheme, silenced and killed the doctors who tried to warn other doctors that the virus is very infectious. Those doctors could no longer be accounted for. Perhaps dead now. While the virus spread has already been in the US, China still denied that the contagion is safe and does not spread human to human.

In Jan, 2020, US had already received sick patient from China and thus spread in the virus. Washington State had this patient now dead back last January. As a result, thousands got sick , thousands died specially the old folks in a nursing home east of Seattle.

In Jan 31, president Trump banned travel of Chinese to the IS. He was met with accusations from Pelosi about to impeach him again for that. At the same time, the radical DEMS called the president "xenophobic". Most of them yelling at the president.
The president did that right. He was able to prevent fruther entries of Chinese with the virus, altough there were 400,000 although had entered when Chinese denied that the virus was not capable of being transmitted from human to human, a gross LIE.
It was only March that China could no longer hide the rapid spread of the virus worldwide that they informed the world the dangers of this Coronavirus spread.

While Chinese sent its people worldwide and into the US, it protected Beijing, and Shanghai where they keep their military and defense, as well as the richest people settle there. These 2 cities do not have much virus because the China government did not allow the Chinese from Wuhan to enter.

The world now is dying and the economy totally destroyed especially the US. Therefore, China has been successful to destroying the US without a conventional war.

US and the world must hold China accountable for all the destruction and deaths in hundreds of thousands in the US, and millions worldwide.

Currently, US has a debt from China in the amount of $1 trillion. US can foreclose this debt from China. This could be an initial fund to pay for China's damages, and the rest to be charge further from China.

Welcome to OPP, Ricky. I see you are a Democrat/Liberal. No problem. Maybe you could explain what "runaway capitalism" is. Is it what has brought this Country to where it is after only 250 years? Is it what has lifted the poor to a level that has made them above the wealthiest in most other countries. The main thing that has caused companies to move to SE Asia is the unbalance and unfairness of tariffs and corporate tax rates on US corporations. We are seeing that come back, believe it or not. Whatever the evils of capitalism are, it is by far the best form of government ever. By runaway, I think you must mean the speed at which it works. Socialism isn't speedy. It leaves the poor in poverty with the hope that the government will take care of them.
I would not want to be in the unenviable position of having to defend Socialism.

Capitalism is the best form of government for the super wealthy. When an evil virus comes to call and threatens to close down our capitalist economy, all the die-hard capitalists come running to the Socialist unemployment lines to seek relief. That is what a Democratic form of government is designed to do...help ALL Americans in their time of need. Up until now, Republicans insisted that Government stay out of our business. Now they appreciate the need for a huge dose of socialism in the form of a $2.2 Trillion stimulus package to help the American people who look to their government to survive. The GOP might not survive this test.
