The frogs deserve it

It was 1999, so I don’t think they’d invented shoes yet.

Nice try, US government shill.

Death to Amerikkka

Damn, so it’s not even an original thought?

But 89.91% has two nines, so this is fake news.

Iran’s “nuclear program” has been about energy production so far, and the constant imperialist fearmongering about “breakout time” has always sought to instead conflate it with a nuclear weapons program.

Hopefully Iran can soon be on equal footing with occupied Palestine.

Oh noooo the slaver doesn’t like me

Slavers will always make excuses for not condemning slavery.

You could certainly argue that debt slavery makes anyone who isn’t a capitalist a slave, but I mean:

except as a punishment for crime

Slavery, even outside of debt slavery, continues to exist in the USA.

I’ve never posted here without linking an article and I haven’t been banned yet.

Country that still has slaves votes against condemning slavery

Slavery has not been abolished in the USA, so why would they condemn it?

Conservative debtslop

What? Was this meant as a question to the OP?

This is an absolutely terrible fearmongering article about nothing that’s trying to sell austerity (except for when funding genocide).

Conservative debtslop

less operational budget available

For what? Did you read the article? They care about:

• Federal employees
• Medicare
• Social Security
• Comparing government budgets to household budgets

Seriously? These are the “productive” purposes that are problematic?

If these cranks actually cared about debt, they’d be proposing taxes on the rich and ending the MIC. The article is complete shit and doesn’t actually present any material change in the US debt posture or their ability to “pay” interest on their debt level.

Then the commies would win. Those authoritarian assholes want to end oppression and improve the global standard of living. Just imagine how much worse things would be for billionaires if the global south couldn’t be exploited.

It’s just the usual trash from the usual suspects. It would be cool if this were a sign of the empire in decline, but it’s really not.
