The House GOP budget bill is an abomination. Tax breaks for blue state liberal elites and RINOs is political malpractice. The 2017 SALT cap has served as a catalyst for driving out-migtation from CA, NJ, and NY to red states. This trend will, if allowed to continue, will pay huge dividends for the GOP when the 2030 Census is conducted. A swing of 30 electoral votes is possible and red states will add congressional districts. House Republicans are too stupid to realize this.

Ramaphosa IN CONTEXT is the moderate law and order guy. He’s also an accomplished businessman with very progressive labor relationships- he was once head of the ZA miners union, since then a businessman.

There was a strike against his business 10 years ago and 40 strikers shot dead. How businesslike and “at will” employment indeed.

And in the context of er ah yes he’s very reasonable and moderate.

Seriously this is Tshombe. He is the reasonable businessman, and context is always everything.

Frankly I don’t know what there’s not to like about the man from the libertarian point of view that underlies your American Sun, and as far as the poor Boers the only genocide they ever went through was at the hands of the British, who won the second Boer war by herding them into concentration camps and oh dear running out of food. What a terrible supply mixup.

What a dreadful misunderstanding.

Then again the Dutch always had bad table manners.
