Originally posted by BBCTrump warns of 'left-wing violence' if Democrats win mid-term elections
US President Donald Trump has warned that his policies will be "violently" overturned if the Democrats win November's mid-term elections.
He told Evangelical leaders that the vote was a "referendum" on freedom of speech and religion, and that these were threatened by "violent people".
He appealed to conservative Christian groups for help, saying they were one vote away from "losing everything".
During the meeting, Mr Trump said the mid-term elections were not just a referendum on him but also "on your religion, it's a referendum on free speech and the First Amendment [guaranteeing basic freedoms]".
"It's not a question of like or dislike, it's a question that they will overturn everything that we've done and they will do it quickly and violently. And violently. There is violence. When you look at Antifa - these are violent people," he said.
He seeks to rally the religious right for the mid-term elections, saying basic freedoms are at risk.

if the dems don't get out and vote that may be enough. Don't underestimate the no shows. It cost them in 2016It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Wow. Putin raised the retirement age for men in Russia from 60 to 65. The problem is that the average lifespan for men in Russia is only 66. Right now 43% of Russian men will die before they can retire.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Is that life expectancy at birth, or past a certain age? I don't know if Russia has a problem with child mortality, but hell, they've got a problem with everything else. It's possible.

Russia is forecasting a dramatic decrease in the number of working-age citizens over the coming years, a fall that could stymie a return to growth after a deep two-year recession.

More on Trumps favorite country (not America) :
I posted on the demographic crisis before. Turns out all those reforms Putin attempted have failed. Russia has spent significant sums on the military, neglecting social services. Back in 2016, the government said the country turned a corner on the demographic crisis, but that turns out to be a false narrative. The birth rate is still dropping.
