Full Farkas: ‘Russia Doesn’t Even Really Qualify To Be In The G8’ | MTP Daily | MSNBC
California is a bigger economy then Russia.
@snoop alert HK is fighting for democracy. Capitalism is an economic system that we associate with democracy but blended economies are both common and working. That said, the protesters want representation and are trying to gain independence to ensure they don’t lose it. They have had semi-autonomy since the UK rescinded but this is not about making money it is about freedom and in defiance of authoritarianism.
@princeoftidds yes I know they’re trying to move away from government control and we’re running towards it
GDP is measured in US Dollar, Russia don’t use US dollar internally. The price of living in California or New York is at least x5 of that in Moscow, let alone some smaller Russian city. That’s your ‘bigger’ economy, just a bigger economical bubble.
This is all true, but the leftist media constantly expose Russia as the main “enemy”, with such a small economy. But China’s economy is equivalent to the US economy, and at the same time the situation with democracy in China is catastrophic, the worst in the world. But the bought lefties don’t want to notice it, for them the main enemy – weak Russia. Leftists are so stupid, brainless zombies that they while liking comment, do not even find a contradiction with their position on Russia. Turn Logic on
Not in GDP based on PPP it isn’t
Trump has one vote in the G7. Russia will not be allowed back in the G7 there are 6 other voting countries. Russia was kicked out for invading Ukraine and this will not change. Trump is Putin’s puppet.
@RuBaron715 That’s exactly what I think about the democratic party.
@Budz buddington you should reevaluate your thinking, I was talking about trump not the GOP, the GOP spin things just like the dems, but trump outright lies, I believe it must be disease .
Our allies don’t trust 45
Budz buddington Not anymore. We are a laughing stock to the world because of Trump. Our allies no longer trust us and they can’t.
@BbetrGODczU L really? because trump has a 90+% approval rating in Israel. unless you don’t count them as our ally.
I have a question…
Why is that when Congress voted 362-53 to continue sanctions against Russia….
It was t’rump – on his own – to veto that decision? 🤔
Especially since America got nothing in return? 🤔🤔
Lily Jade thank you…..
@Elizabeth Ayres Republicans aren’t going to jeopardize the favor curried with their corporate or russian masters.
Watch Rachael Maddow. Couple weeks ago she explained it perfectly and calling out the Traitor MoscowMitch.
Russia was kicked out because of them attacking Criemera (spelling?)
@BbetrGODczU L Oh, Crimea river! You’re just Russian to a conclusion! 😄😆
donald is a danger to the whole world.
Traitor Trump can’t even pretend that he’s not a Russian asset.
MSNBC gets trolled by @POTUS over and over. But they take the bait EVERY TIME. Communism never learns. Why don’t they get bored losing all the time? @POTUS likely already has tweets loaded to destroy the 4AM talking points for tomorrow.
Well, he can’t even pretend that he doesn’t want to desperately bang his own daughter, so the Russian asset thing might be a stretch for him! 😄😆😅😂
@Ro G New Flash! @POTUS cares nothing about your propaganda or that of the Communist media other than the opportunity to expose it. Trump took an oath to uphold the US Constitution. He’s doing his job and the vast majority of Americans support it.
What I want to know is this, did Anderson lend those Red Heels to Bill Clinton to offset his Blue Dress, when he posed for the painting hanging in the Epstein NY mansion?
Two Jewish assets in one thread. David and Ro 🙂
Ro G
😂 Sad but true.
The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which was contained within the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (section 1078 (a)) amended the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 and the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987, allowing for materials produced by the …
——fiscal year – The fiscal year is the accounting period for the federal government which begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2013 begins on October 1, 2012 and ends on September 30, 2013. -Google
Traitor Trump isn’t very subtle with his treason.
So Putin ordered Trump to do everything he can to get Russia back in the G-8, and in return, Putin will do everything he can to try and help get Traitor Trump reelected.
Trump doesn’t qualify to be in Walmart let alone the presidential seat.
LOL Liberals put trump in power to lead the Rep party
Trump could possibly qualify as a Walmart greeter if they taped his mouth shut.
In my local Walmart, I have never seen any worker nearly as mentally defective/lazy as 45* (much less a complete psychopath).
In fact, most are quite friendly and hardworking and often get promoted quickly (keep in mind that many Walmart workers make more than you think: order fillers make about 40k a year, an assistant store manager makes about 50k a year, and a shift manager about 65k a year…not bad for out of high school and no college…but if you have college you can average 94k a year as a general or store manager, with many earning well into the 100k+ range).
Same with most worker’s I’ve encountered in “lowly” jobs from fast food to causal dining to retail to garbage men, etc. Most of those people work the hardest at least (I did landscaping over a summer in college: I was already serious about college as I love intellectual work/inquiry (I still regularly read scholarly/academic press books and journals for self enrichment), but that experience made it clear that although I like being outdoors/hiking/camping/backpacking, doing hard physical work outdoors was quite different: very unpleasant. Absolutely brutal work: we were treated as pack animals and ditch diggers).
Reference: I have several extended family members who have worked at Walmart, and I’ve gotten to know many of the workers at my local one who have worked there for decades (and yes they like it, or at worst think it’s fair): it really is unfairly maligned; lots of small business owners treat their employees much more unfairly, and in college I did volunteer work at a hospital chain in a major metro area that won award after award for “best employer” in local publications/surveys because it had good benefits. But I couldn’t believe how badly all the supervisors I saw treated their workers, and how overworked they were, from the orderlies and food service employees to the technicians and nurses to even the doctors. All these workers went on strike several times over a few years to try to not get more pay or benefits, but actually less work load/hours (salaried workers would be forced to work 60 hours a week often with of course no possibility of extra pay) and to be treated like a human. I’d work at Walmart any day over being a nurse or office worker at any one of the hospitals the company owned, no matter what the position: “prestigious” or “lowly”.
trump is a huge national security threat. cant even defend the country if anyone attacks the U.S. trump will have to defend his boss when putin sends that country help and weapons. trump will have speeches every night saying how he thinks its fake news that russia is sending missiles and troops and whatever to iran or whatever.
trump and his supporters in the military will get alota americans killed if we have a war soon.
Jesus Trump is a Traitor to the United States of America.
Jeremy Backup YES JEREMY … TRUMP SOLD OUR COUNTRY OUT TO HOSTILE FOREIGN POWERS … TRUMP NEEDS TO GO ASAP.
Trump is planning to wipe out the US with Putin because US banks refused to loan him money.
In the 90’s Deutsch bank and money laundering with the Russians is where he got his cash from. Those financial records and those of Kushners have been sent to congressional committees after they were sued to release them. This happened @ beginning of congress and senate break. They are also getting them from Wellsfargo and Capital 1.
Why is the military performing exercises over Washington DC. Do you think they’re practicing for swamp draining?
Ever wondered why Trump reinstated the Federal Death Penalty? Do you think he is deadly serious?
Anyone who speaks I’ll of him.
Trump has the look of a man in love when he talks about Russia. There is a sparkle in his normal demented expression
He just thinks about all that Russian $$$$$$, if he plays nice with Putin.
please don’t eat the baby
Millions will continue walking away bcuz a lie will die and the truth will live forever
When Trump told corporations that he didn’t want their money and that he didn’t need their money he had me. I’m glad I walked away
He now had Raised close to 1 billion $ & that’s not from small donations. That comes from pay to play donations.
Racist President Trump is supporting Russia? I’m surprised! Didn’t see that one coming at all 😲
Russian collusion begins with Moscow Mitch and traitor Trump 😠
The Russian economy is the same size as Italian economy but with a lot less debt
That’s based on GDP figures in USD…based on PPP Russia’s economy is the sixth largest in the world behind those of China, the U.S, India, Japan and Germany…
By the way,ANYONE who thinks rump is not a racist is not playing with a full deck
