Successful protests

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

Successful protests against the Trump regime should look for a broad base and should demonstrate they are patriotic.

I agree with most of the article's points, but some of them betray the author's right-wing positions. We would be fools to limit ourselves to criticizing only things that Marco Rubio wouldn't do; he like all the Republican presidential candidates is a right-wing extremist and would do great wrong if given the chance.

Defending abortion rights is a crucial issue, and we shouldn't seek more support by dropping that issue.

Air attacks

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

The US publishes a list of air attacks in Afghanistan, but it is bogus: thousands of attacks were left out of the list.

Ethics rules

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

Kellyanne Conway directly broke US ethics rules by promoting Ivanka Trump's clothing line.

The troll's standard practice is to violate all ethics standards in the most blatant way, in effect saying "You can't stop me!" Conway must have felt she could and ought to do likewise. It will be interesting to see if Republicans allow her to be punished for this.

Couples' names

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

Most Americans hold a sexist attitude towards married couples' names: they condemn women who don't change their last names, but strangely don't condemn men for doing the same thing. When you look into the reasons, you find broader sexism.

Make up the cuts

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

8 countries have now joined forces to make up the cuts in aid to be caused by the troll's global gag rule against aid to organizations that mention "abortion".

Bravo! I hope American individuals who donate to global women's health provision can also redirect their aid to this fund rather than to funds which don't counter the anti-abortion extremism of the US.
