It’s also called “respect”. The members of Congress got there by being elected by the people of their state. To me, that means they have earned the respect of the other Reps (or Senators). It seems that in todays political climate, the Democrats don’t want to talk about or agree with anything the Republicans have to say or do. It’s that simple. Not to sit down and talk and negotiate with the other party isn’t respectful or right. Period. The Democrats just want everything their way and not really willing to “work” on solutions to this country’s problems.

And stupid low IQ voters keep the carpet baggers in power.
This is exactly why the deep state hates Trump. He reduced their profits and will do it again.

China did not literally steal middle class manufacturing jobs. Those jobs were transferred their by the deep state.
While no jobs went to Russia. So which country went from poverty to world’s largest economy based on purchasing power?

You didn’t know anyone whom had a cell phone prior to 1999?
that is almost impossible to believe. Plenty of people paid $1000/mo for suitcase phones that cut out every other minute in the 80’s.

and you would’ve known someone earlier had the monopoly been broken up earlier-at which point what you posted is relevant

Our own political class will be what does us in…but China will be there to finish us off after we’ve already collapsed on our own.

Bell Labs engineer?-same Bell Labs that inhibited later development. 1973 yet other guy doesn’t know anyone that had a phone until 1999-nothing to do with the break up.

I appreciate the info as I was too lazy to copy paste it myself.

It is China who stole 4 million American manufacturing jobs.

Stole them? We bargained them away - and not just to China.

I believe it is the dem/liberal takeover of all the alphabet agencies along with the schools.

Yes, you are correct. Trump is the only POTUS who was bold enough to reduce trade imbalance with tariffs. But that cut into profits of the rich donor class. That is why Trump is hated so much by the deep state.

In 1998, less than 30% of adults had cell phones, most of them for work purposes.

96% of adults still had land line phones.
