and people like you and me were just serfs, working for our lord-kings.
I guess you think that makes "common sense", because it's simple enough
for you to understand.
Are the doors wide open for you to be anything you want to be?
"it just requires a little effort" Are you too lazy to invest in yourself?
How much can America survive after the next 45 days, that's the question.
I'm not having much hope for the America as portrayed by The Constitution.
I did invest in my self with a college degree and several certifications and licenses. but a clean bill of health is required to use them .
Show some common sense then, instead of just
I have logical reasoning, based on knowledge. You have neither; ignorance.
If there is any truth to your common sense, you should be able to express it.
By the way, The Netherlands is NOT AT ALL socialist. It's even more capitalist
than the US on some levels. The difference is that my country has been very socialist not so long ago and many people still remember everything being better, before those things were privatized. Capitalism screwed us over.
You don't know shit about it, because the US has always been very capitalistic. Still, even the US had more socialism in the past than now. That's why MAGA means that you should bring back that socialism, to Make America Great Again.
The top individual tax-rate reached a high of 94% in 1944-45.
Meanwhile, the poorest people only payed 1% income taxes then.
The top corporate tax-rate was 53% in 1968-69, in the US.
That was when the working class could support a family on just 1 full time job.
That's the time you long back to, but you're lied to about how to get it.
Those are ARGUMENTS, based on true facts.
Now you support your ideas like that.....................................................
I do wonder why hillary and liz cheney need a pardon. They both know they are guilty of breaking the law.

Maybe Jeffry Dalmer will eat the liberal judge in New York that would make him disappear
"No problem, january 20th, pardon 1's self of anything for the past 40 years."
the poor folks that have been in jail for 4 years after jan 6, what happened to their rights to speedy trials? Pardon them, free them, time served is more than they would have gotten if tried.
Everything Hunter was investigated for, related to his laptop,
fell apart. What they found was unrelated to the laptop and
unrelated to his father. That was the real lawfair.
Trump was was waving a gun around as a convicted felon,
so why was he not convicted by the same law Hunter was?
Trump has been evading his taxes for decades, much worse than Hunter,
so it would be an outrage if his conviction fell away.
Biden has a right to pardon someone who was unjustly convicted,
even if that is his son. Trump was not unjustly convicted.
The people who are in jail for 4 years after jan 6, ATTACKED COPS!
Many of the cops were seriously injured. If a BLM protester did that,
you would want them under lock and key for ever.
And it's a fucking outrage that the person who instigated that violence
is not in jail right now and is even allowed to be president.
Is being critical of a presidential candidate a crime now?
Better come up with an actual answer, because now you're a fascist by every definition.
That Cheney family has been fucking corrupt for ever.
They were profiting of the war that they started.
Why do you think Bush liked her father?
He was personally profiting of that war too.
Shouldn't Trump investigate Bush too?
But here is where you and I differ; I see evidence of wrongdoing, and only then
do I want the law to go after them. You see people you DON'T LIKE and then
you want the law to go after them to find anything to accuse them of crimes
and crack down on them for. You have clearly admitted this.
Matt Gaetz owns a gun and is a user of illegal drugs. Did he disclose this fact on his paperwork for gun ownership? Sounds a lot like a case we heard of recently, didn't we?
Matt Gaetz is implicated in human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors. That's a good reason to investigate him. There was NO PROBABLE CAUSE to investigate Hunter.
His laptop was illegally obtained and illegally investigated. No reason to investigate him.
No one has ever been sentenced as harshly for those violations as Hunter Biden.
Hey, your hero is pardoning child porn dealers and thieves and dope heads right and left, so what's the big deal?
MAGA only needs a sliver of hypocrisy to be even worse hypocrites.
Now is no time for any liberal to be spouting off at the mouth at least not during a republican reign of power
I see the CNN liberals be afraid, very afraid.
The only thing they are guilty of is criticizing Trump.
Imagine the country where journalists fear being critical.
Well, you don't have to, Trump already did; Project 2025!

Following the much-needed time with the ones we love during the Thanksgiving holiday, House Republicans returned to work for the American people last week and focused on how we can rein in unelected bureaucrats and bring fiscal responsibility back to Washington.
The federal government should be working for you, not against you. Unfortunately, it has only gotten too bloated, too inefficient, and taken too much of your money. From reckless government spending to burdensome regulations and unnecessary red tape, big bureaucracy has crippled Main Street, skyrocketed inflation, and spiraled our country into a historic debt crisis.
America’s small businesses are too often saddled with unnecessary, one-size-fits-all regulations by the heavy hand of the government. These rules cost business owners trillions each year to stay compliant, and they don’t have the resources to keep pace with the ever growing burdens. Federal agencies seem to ignore the reality and the harmful economic impact that these new regulations cause, which only further discourages small business growth, job creation, and American innovation.
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I will always work to ensure they can thrive and grow without the government getting in the way. I was proud to join my colleagues last week in passing the Prove It Act, a commonsense, bipartisan solution to ensure business owners have a voice in the regulatory process. This legislation will protect Main Street from unelected bureaucrats’ overregulation that hinders so many folks from achieving the American dream of starting and owning a business.
Out-of-control, taxpayer-funded government spending and bureaucratic overreach have led to higher costs and unsustainable national debt. You, your family, and our economy have paid the price for far too long.
With the creation of President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Republicans in Congress have a great opportunity to identify ways we can expose inefficiencies, cut wasteful spending, slash unnecessary regulations, and reduce bloated bureaucracy.
My House Republican colleagues and I met with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who President Trump appointed to lead DOGE. Working together with President Trump and Senate Republicans, we will get our fiscal house in order, save your taxpayer dollars, and make the government more efficient for you.
Folks like you are fed up with business-as-usual, and voted for real reform in how Washington operates. Rest assured, as your Congressman, I will fight tirelessly to deliver the change you deserve.

To win, liberals need to fight that petty tyrant.
Unfortunately, it's reality that many people support that petty tyrant.
That's the dumbest attempt to deflect, I have ever heard from you.
Sure you are not tecsan, posing as phart?
Trump is saying that Liz Cheney should see how it feels to face guns “trained on
her face”. "Put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her".
He's clearly talking about a firing squad for Liz Cheney.
For what? For not supporting him! Clearly a petty tyrant!
We only have 2 choices for President, and it is either TRUMP who we know will try to fix things or someone that agrees with the last 4 years and intends to give it a shot of steroids.
As for calling biden a tyrant, I just want to call him FORMER president biden after tuesday
What a joke piss poor management
well a quick google search came up with this,
What is a word for extreme despair?
anguish, desperation, despondency, discouragement, gloom, melancholy, misery, pain, sorrow.
mayhem? What? I instantly think of Trump, when you say that word. They idiot doesn't think before he does anything and constantly screws up.
hatred? That's literally the only think Trump is doing 24/7.
despair? Sure, there is a lot going on of that. Unless you point to any cause and effect, instead of just pointing at Biden, you are not honestly arguing. You never are.
war? Biden ended a war. Whatever happens outside of the US is not his fault.
Trump almost started a war, by assassinating Qassem Soleimani.
I'm not happy with what Biden is doing in relationship with Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine, but I'm 100% sure that I would be way more dissatisfied if Trump gets his turn on handling those issues. It would be a bloodbath of WWII proportions.
It's just as expensive here, which means it's not Biden's fault.
Tax-cuts are about to expire, because Trump designed them to. His big tax-cuts
for the wealthy are permanent and the few tax-cuts for you were temporary.
The number of bankruptcies is normal. You have a confirmation bias.
None of this is Biden's fault. He has recovered the economy and inflation.
Harris will give the working class tax-cuts to help them.
Trump will give the wealthy more tax-cuts and fuck the working class.
He will cut expenses for programs that are helping people.
His tariffs will mostly hurt the working class.
Damn, I am almost rooting for Trump to win, because I want you to experience
for yourself the mayhem, hatred, despair and war that he will give you.
It's just not fair to all the others.
Even if Trump meant well, he's too dumb to DO well.
And he's picking the worst people to help him.
Others are just Wall Street goons, who your side claims to hate.
Many are hard line war hawks, while you pretend Trump is anti-war.
Some are authors of Project 2025, which Trump was denying involvement in.
One of them was the chief investor at financier George Soros’ firm.
Trump is literally picking a friend of the guy you say you hate most.
YOU should not agree with his picks, but you're just a sucker.
What you call socialism isn't socialism. The capital was NEVER owned
and controlled by the people, but always by wealthy people, either by
being the government itself or by controlling the government.
What you CALL socialism and what does fail its people is what you are heading towards; an authoritarian government owned and controlled by the wealthy, that exploits and subjugates its people to non-liberal ideology.
The term for that is "oligarchy".
You libtards fight dirty you fucking lose. Dumb shit.
Trump just doesn't want to go to prison, for treason.
Elon Musk gave him that and Trump gave him the USA.
Suckers!
And unfortunately the majority of your voters are ignorant about Law and Order.
All of the separation of powers in your country are failing to protect its democracy.
Future humanity will look back to this time as just another dark chapter in history,
if there is someone left to record it.
Well, maybe some of Elon Musk's decedents on Mars will feel some regret.
What are the dems hiding?
Hey, if Elon can send all the liberal men back to mars where men supposedly came from, it would help America alot.
Men are from mars, women are from Venus, the rest are from Uranus.
Trump delayed all of it, because he knows he would be found guilty.
He never tried to clear his name, just delayed and obstructed, because he knew getting elected would save him.
No dumb-ass, Mars is his escape plan, for when Earth is toast. Or, instead of Mars, the billionaires will all live in a huge space station, that the working class paid for, with sweat and blood. Then the working class will just suffer and die on Earth.
Those billionaires don't qualify as liberal or conservative, because they have
no moral core at all, other than greed. Probably, you even respect that.
In any case, they don't give a shit about you, or anyone else, but themselves.
Do you make this kind of money?
The average salary at SpaceX varies by role and location, but here are some average salaries for popular roles:
Software engineer: $133,884–$140,230 per year
Engineer: $100,641–$101,658 per year
Integration engineer: $104,283 per year
Developer II: $106,778 per year
Reliability engineer: $95,527 per year
Fabrication manager: $137,325 per year
Supply chain specialist: $88,820 per year
Supply manager: $150,079 per year
Salaries at SpaceX can also vary by hourly pay, with some roles paying as little as $18 per hour for a carpenter and as much as $35.82 per hour for a manufacturing specialist.
He needs qualified people to take control of your country.
Those people will make good money, for now. Everyone else, who is not working for him or who is replaceable, will make less and less money.
All these wealthy people are pursuing AI, with the intent to replace more and more of the highly educated people you listed. It will result in a hand-full of genius software engineers, making lots of money and a shitload of low skilled technicians, greasing up robots and doing simple standard part replacement jobs, who are easily replaceable and therefore make shit money. Everyone else is just out of the job.
I'm aiming to be one of the last highly educated people our corporate overlords still need. You lot are way too dumb to be of any use for them, for long.
It looks like socialism isn't going to happen, so being the lord's smartest serf
is then my best bet. You can do the heavy and dirty work, robots are too good for.
I hope AI puts all the assholes out of work that think they deserve 25 dollars a hour to make me a hamburger. SKILLED labor pays well because the people invested into themselves to be worth more. Unskilled labor ,to lazy to invest in 1's self, suck it up butter cup and take what you can get and learn to live within your fucking means, I can ,so can You.
Why do you think I wanted to be skilled labor? I know that replaceable people can be easily exploited. However, they are still doing labor, that "real work" you say you care about. And if employers don't pay them enough, to live on well, they are useless to the economy, because they cannot BUY anything the economy makes. Are you supporting a system where only skilled/educated people make enough money to keep the economy running?
You either grow the economy by increasing people's purchasing power or
by increasing people's education/skill level. You don't want to do either.
Your holy job providers can invest all they want, but someone still has to pay for the services or products their investments eventually create. Who's going to pay for those services and products, if your only purpose is making people earn less?
If you work,invest in yourself,make your self more valuable, you will contribute to the economy. if you are lazy and just walk to mcdonalds and flip burgers, and never do anything to better yourself, you chose that route and deserve what you get
MAGA is truly a religion!
I'm not going to predict that gas prices will go up, because he might actually lower taxes on fossil fuels. He will just make you pay for it in other ways. Or he will just increase your deficit and debt and leave the next administration with the resulting massive inflation. If it's the Democrats, you can blame them again. A win-win for Republicans, but a loose-loose for the stupid people who vote for them.
The price of oil was below $0 for a while.
After the pandemic the price of oil exploded, because the oil production was reduced intentionally by oil companies and they didn't want to increase production, because they liked the high prices. Even when the oil production was restored and the oil price was down, the oil companies kept the gas prices high, because they loved the profits. You blamed the Democrats for what the oil companies did, so why would they lower the price? Then it became you own fault.
Then the oil price went up again, because Putin attacked Ukraine and Europe sanctioned Russian oil. It's a global market, with a legalized cartel fixing the oil price. You can allow oil companies to drill in all your National Parks, which they will gladly destroy, but they will make you pay whatever gas price makes them the most profits.
Under Trump the border was "closed" to LEGAL migration and LEGAL traffic, for a while, during the pandemic. He didn't do any better at stopping ILlegal migration or drugs entering your country. Only Ron DeSantis managed to scare the illegals out
of Florida, but then no one harvested the fruit and vegetables, which were rotting
on the farmers' fields. That's one reason for why groceries are so expensive now.

Yes we are going back freddy (pitbull).
We are going back to normalcy.
I noticed he didn't stumble and misspeak, like he usually does. He obviously suffers from early dementia, with his brain glitching in every speech at his rallies. We didn't see him have those episodes here. He must be using stronger stuff than Biden.
If there is going to be another debate, Harris should insist they get both tested for drugs.
If she wants to take some shots beforehand, that's up to her.
Your side really throws everything at the wall and hopes it sticks.
I would mind, but it is obviously nonsense.
In any case, it's not needed to test for alcohol,
because anyone would clearly see and hear if she was drunk.
That's the difference with alcohol and performance enhancing drugs.
Trump is associated with the use of illegal mind altering drugs.
Alcohol or 10 cups of coffee are not illegal. Therefore no testing.
Think of the sliding scale, if all possible rumors like that are reacted to.
You know, now that I think about it, the debate was unfair to the Clown. The rules should have prohibited the VP from laughing at the Clown's statements.

Obama is a smart guy, but he's not the most efficient communicator.
You think so, just because she's a woman.
She doesn't need any help from a man, she's smart and she has good memory.
She won, because she has a brain. Trump lost, because he is ignorant as fuck.
Trump used to have some political instincts, but he has lost all of it.
He has lost all his populist rhetoric and is just a basic RINO now,
but with the nonsense of a psychotic drifter, who's scaring people on the street.
And why would he want to? Those 8 years turned him from a young man

you have to stop thinking these people are joking and start thinking about they are saying literally.
Common sense is 100% dependent on where you grow up and what experiences you have. It's 'common sense' for an African woman, to cut out her daughter's clitoris, while she herself is still suffering from the trauma.
Your idea of 'common sense' is just a weak surrogate for knowledge,
logical reasoning and experience.
When your cult-leader says something serious, you make believe it was a joke.
"you have to stop thinking these people are joking and start thinking about
they are saying literally." Back at you!
You were posting the same comment everywhere, so you use it as a 'reply'.
What am I to do, if I have tried hundreds of arguments and
the best argument against them is; "You don't live here!".
It's up to the good guys and girls to defend democracy.
Once it's lost, it's almost impossible to get it back.
When you lose it, mine is shaking in it's boots.
Your democracy is the crucial front, it should hold, or
Everything is free or cheap supposedly in those socialist country's but if you go into border states of canada you will see canadian license plates on the cars in the dr's parking lots because they are willing to pay to get the care they need instead of waiting 3 years for a simple "free" or low cost surgery in their country.
If the windmills quit pumping in the netherlands for a few days, that place will be a new ocean.
This comment is so incoherent, I don't know where to begin.
Canada is also a capitalist state, even while they have public healthcare.
They don't have people going bankrupt over medical costs like you.
Many Americans buy their medication in Canada, because they cannot pay the prices in your country. You have waiting lists too. And many people who are not getting their surgery at all, because they cannot afford it.
Windmills pumping? That's 16th century technology.
The definition of Republic is: "a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.".
In other words; a democracy with a president.
How do you get freedom from your Constitution, if you don't have democracy?
My country is about as capitalist as yours. Almost everything is privately owned, just like in your country. Actually, we have private companies delivering our post, your post is a public service (socialism).
Russia is also mostly a capitalist country now.
Don't just believe all the ignorant shit you hear on TV.
I am interested in politics, because I don't want to be as dumb as you.
It helps me to understand when people are lying to me.
It helps me to control my own life, instead of others to control me.
Democracy only works if people are informed and have thinking skills.
If they can just make you believe shit, they CONTROL YOU!
America is a republic no matter what anyone thinks.
I'll admit that you do put up a good argument.
What else would democracy be? The only alternative is "direct democracy", where people are voting on direct initiatives on specific subjects, like a higher minimum wage or restrictions on abortion, or whatever the people got on the ballot with signatures from registered voters.
What makes you say that neither of the presidential candidates are truly interested in making America better? How would you know if they were? What would you expect to hear them say? What changes do you want them promise?
Both your candidates are promising to make your country better
and they are both accusing the other candidate of destroying your country. That's just rhetoric. It's up to you to understand the problems in your country and to imagine solutions to fix those problems. However, you need to be very careful of them putting simplistic ideas of the problems and simplistic solutions in your head. They are pointing at scapegoats for the problems, to distract you from the actual problems. This is a strategy as old as human society. It always caused despair and destruction and it never solved anything.
According to this Wikipedia page, the US is a "Constitution-based federal republic; strong democratic tradition"
only registered users can see external links
Take a look at that list, please. Observe that in almost all those different government systems there are countries that are varying between very authoritarian and very democratic. Almost every system allows to be governed by either a brutal dictator or a representative of the people, voted in by a well functioning democracy.
There are federal republics with hardly any democracy and there are federal republics with a better functioning democracy. That the US is a republic is not the problem with your democracy. The problem is that you, the voters, have legalized corruption. American voters voted for politicians who passed laws saying "money=speech". That allows the wealthy and corporations to bribe your politicians. It makes your politicians not work for YOU, but for THEIR DONORS. The politicians are NOT pushing your agenda, they are NOT pushing their agenda, they are pushing the agenda of THEIR DONORS. There are only a few politicians who support changing that system. Trump is not interested in changing that system. He is openly asking the wealthy for money and promising to do what they want in return. He literally said that he is not against electric cars anymore, because Elon Musk gave him money. Do you want a president who does what Elon Musk wants or do you want one who listens to YOU?

All Americans are losers now, half just doesn't know it yet.
This time next year, it will probably be showing already.
I am interested to see your excuses for your hardship then.
I'm sure you won't have the balls to blame Trump for any of it.
Like I said privately, I would love to be proven wrong.
Low turnout: Republicans win
It has been a consistent observation for decades.
Yes, this time the Republican won both. The last time
before Trump, was in 1988, when George H. W. Bush,
won the election over Michael S. Dukakis.
That's unfair. The odds are stacked in favor of Republicans.
People blamed Democrats for not being able to afford groceries. It's not true, but it's not the "craziness" they voted against.
to help Trump, by price gauging a bit less.
It's not because they like dropping their prices.
but I fully expect to be able to say: "I told you so!".
For such a stupid man, he has a true genius
for scamming people.
war mongers, look what "biden" did for ukraine, ww3 dumped in Trumps lap by a bunch of war mongering liberals.

WW3, you know,another war where 1000's of our people will DIE?>??? doesn't that bother you? All your party is worried about is if the steel wire coat hanger comes back so you can get free abortions, plastic breaks off inside and has to fished out with pliers.
And what will the Clown, Donny Boy do to stop the war?
Ukraine could have surrendered 2 days after the invasion, there wouldn't be all these sanctions and loss's of asset's ,shortages of food and oil and etc.
ukraine can't take of it's self no way, why do you think we were giving them money BEFORE the war? it is time we quit keeping these people up.
I suggest that it’s better to have a war in someone else’s land than in our own. We fought 4 big wars last century. Two world wars, a “policing action’ in Korea, and Viet Nam. All terrible wars. All costs us many valiant soldiers, but, our lands were not touched.
If Putin is coming after us or if Xi Jinping, even Kim Jong Un, I prefer we destroy their country in the fight and not ours. The Ukrane is on the right on this. Let’s help keep that murdering xenophobe from doing more damage to any more people.
Kinda like the democrat party wants to punish Americans for being successful by forcing them to take care of people that hate us and want to take everything from us.

You would destroy the last piece of nature for that oil.
Did you know that it was in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
and not tell anyone or did you just parrot "Alaska"?
Just because they are going into a frozen, uninhabited area does mean they are going to strip mine it. drilling can be done with little negative affects. the tech is there.
If it's just regular oil drilling, it's not too bad,
but if it requires fracking, it's incredibly damaging.

Trump was ranked as the worst US president in history,
with Biden as the 14th greatest.
Trump has a chance to redeem himself, but if he does anything
that he said he would do, he will go down in history as
the president who destroyed 230 years of American democracy.
that system was doomed from the start with the ever increasing population, the gov can't take out of enough of peoples paychecks to cover what they are paying out.
We damn sure do not need someone like Justin Trudeau (cumala) to win. Screw socialist bs. Anyone wants that crap they know how to leave DirtyDesco.
This is voter fraud. Donald has filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania addressing this issue. If successful, it's expected that it'll be big news all over Pennsylvania but also all over the US. It's the first time this has happened.
In this instance, I agree with Trump. Democrats should control their food intake and their farting.

A small town of 18,000 now suddenly over run by people there to take away what few jobs there was and are lowering the quality of the kids education.The parents of those kids paid taxes for the schools, and now their kids are not getting the quality education they deserve because of outsiders. and the dems think that is just fine, the dems bused those illegals there and caused this mess. and they love it.It has to stop or this country will be like mexico soon
Those "very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics,
and it should be very easily handled, by if necessary the National Guard
and if really necessary by the military."
Who is Trump talking about there?
"Trump tells it like it is!", so I expect him to round up his political enemies now.
Trump told it like it is!
Trump said he really loves women, but....
but "Trump tells it like it is!", then when did Trump last say anything relevant
to what is going on in the US? He is making a fool of himself. Anything he says
is debunked in 30 seconds flat. You want him to win the election, but he's showing everyone he's lying and stupid. Why are you supporting that? If my candidate was doing that, they would be replaced with someone better, the next day.
It took Democrats a bit longer, because they left it up to the candidate to step aside, but they did what's best for the party. Donald Trump is HUMILIATING YOU!
Trump cucked your party and he cucked you. He's doing nothing but losing.
Tim Walz and Obama just showed the world that they exactly know what is going on
in the US. Every single sentence was on point and honest. The Democrats are doing their best for their constituents. You cannot say that Trump is doing that!
Hell, Kamala Harris has bigger balls than Trump.
She went on Fox'News' and crushed little Bret Baier's nonsense.
Trump cannot even handle the softballs from his own media.
Trump is a whiny little bitch, who didn't outgrow puberty.
Trump is the most insecure person in the world.
Insecurity is the opposite of masculinity.
It's like putting your fingers in your ears and shouting; "Lalalalalalala!".
It's way preferable over lying.
You would make a better MAGA president than Trump.
That's why it's a bit sad that you support that whiner.
obummer is a damn wimp and tampon tim, well his name says it all. Many black men hate obummer now for degrading them a few days ago.
In any case, I'm 100% more honest and sure of myself than Trump.
You tell me what you think makes Trump that real man for you.
If you don't see that Trump is a whining bitch, then "Love makes blind!".
Trump is constantly crying about being treated unfairly, the size of his hands, dick and crowds and all the different groups of voters, he feels is entitled to their votes.
Trump is a sad whiny bitch, Walsh, Harris and Obama are not.
If black men think Trump degrades them less, they should vote for Trump.
If Muslims think Trump will kill less Palestinians, they should vote for Trump.
Stupid people are his voters, so they can fuck off to vote for their own demise.
Oh, stop with your stupid suspicions, no one is talking about you. Why would they talk about an idiot?
He never accepts any accountability for anything, he even says so himself.
He always blames someone else. How about "The buck stops at my desk!"?
A real man lives up to his responsibilities, right?
but you project it onto Biden and Harris.
Biden did say the pull-out from Afghanistan could have gone better.
At least he did that. Trump wanted to, but was too chickenshit to do it.
You cannot point to anything Biden could have done better, you just have Trump who says he could have done better, without pointing to anything specific. If Trump had overseen that pull-out, I'm sure it would have gone much worse, because he's an idiot and had idiots in his White House.
We can point to many things Trump could have done better in the Covid crisis, probably preventing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. The first mistake was calling it a hoax, while he knew better. He's on tape saying so. The second thing is getting in the way of outbreak management specialists, think he knew better. He is an ignorant shithead that always does the wrong thing and always exacerbates the problem. And he never admits his mistakes. Biden and Harris did 100 times better.
"...THE SAME..."!!! MORON!!!
"joey and cumala" pulled your country out of the worst health crisis in 100 years. They have recovered your economy, after it was crushed, because of Trump's stupidity, and put Trump's inflation back on target.
What do you want them to accept accountability for?
that damn harris wants to hand out 100,000 dollars to start a "small" bussiness. sounds great on the surface, but when you realize it will be loaned to people that CAN"T PAY IT BACK, they will go bankrupt and default on the money and be the same as the supposedly "evil" Trump! wants to give money for a down payment on a first home. All that will do is raise the price of a "first" home because the sellers will know the money is there to get.
EVEN IF it was a terrorist attack, many other countries were already suffering deaths of covid, long before it came to your country. Still he said it was a HOAX. THAT'S EVEN MORE FUCKING IRRESPONSIBLE,
IF IT WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK!!!
Trump will give more tax-cuts to corporations and the wealthy.
Harris will give tax-cuts to small businesses, from people who want to build a future for themselves. No one is talking about paying it back.
Since when do corporations pay back the tax-cuts they are getting?
Why do you think the US ranks 173th of 180 countries in the

It's because you only help big companies and let them crush small companies. That's why the US is starting to fail. Innovation is dying.
Kamala Harris has plans to reverse that. Trump is just all talk.
Harris is also planning to build lots of houses, to reduce the prices.

An expert recognized those watches as Chinese made, worth about $100.
Trump is thus clearly breaking the law, because his website claims they're Swiss made.
The website also has some disclaimers: "The images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product", so their probably even more crap than on the images.
"Shipping and delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed. We are not liable for any delays in shipments.", so you probably never receive your crap watch either.
Who are buying these watches? Complete MORONS?
Oh, but you can pay in Bitcoin! Oh, that's it; UNTRACEABLE MONEY going to Trump!
Who would like to do that? How about foreign dignitaries and business magnates,
who like to BUY FAVORS from Trump. They don't care if they never get their crap watch,
they just like to BRIBE him. This scam allows Trump and them to EVADE US FEDERAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS.
At best this is only another scam to extract money from his stupid cult-members,
but it's probably just Trump showing his complete CORRUPTION again.

The only people who would buy it, are people who want to put money in Trump's pocket, without anyone knowing they are doing it. They are getting something else, than one of those crap watches, for their money. That's ILLEGAL CORRUPTION! Even in a country that legalized most corruption.
"Jealous because you didn't think of it?" Are you really that dumb?
I would not be able to do this, because I'm not a candidate for president.
They are not buying a crappy watch with a $99,900 markup, they are buying TRUMP!
Not that Elon cares much, but at least he accepts reality.
Trump would let Elon force you all into electric cars, if he bribes and praises him enough. I think Elon bought X just to make himself popular under right-wingers,
cozy up to Republicans and make them support his electric cars too.
It's only a tiny effect to prevent the worst damage, but something is not nothing.
It's shouldn't be like that. Your country already allows too much corruption.
The fact that Trump even breaks your lax anti-corruption laws is destructive.
You should want your politicians to represent YOU, not the ones who personally enrich them the most.
It's already difficult enough with all the people who are unable to understand

Tasting Notes/Label Text: Mango Mussolini is a New England style IPA with lush tropical fruit notes, fresh squeezed orange juice, pineapple and fragrant cut grass. On the palate, Columbus, Citra, Mosaic, and Chinook hops give this beer 40 IBUs that balance sweet fruit character with stronger the flavors of citrus and mango. Oats add a silken mouthfeel, giving the beer a full and a nice round finish.
I can't say I don't drink alcohol at all, but about 0 to 5 times per year. I drank some champagne like drinks twice this year at festivities and I ordered a glass of Lambrusco at an Italian restaurant, the only whine I really like. They had an awesome one.
In total, I must have consumed about 5 beers in my life, of which the majority were heavily laced with fruit juice. This IPA contains fruit juice too, but I still think this beer is too beery for me, but I wouldn't mind taking a sip to check.
I do drink beer and never heard of it and I would not buy it.
I'm sure this one sells out very quickly and they have to make more.
Or it was a one time offer and gone is gone.
Ever been to a small brewery? I have been to several. Not because I like beer,
but because I like the process of brewing beer (it's amateur biotechnology)
and I like the enthusiasts who do it.
Some small breweries make several 'brands' and then a few occasional batches
with special branding, some have one actual brand and do lots of side projects,
some have no brand at all, except for the name of the company, and they make
a new label and name for every little project they do.
I've visited one just like this in Scotland.

It's just another ranking list, in which many other countries beat yours.
Only going by what all the experts on the world say, not experience.
If you ever tasted Heineken, I agree, that's crap. Most experts agree.
I'm talking about breweries, not factories.
Even though Heineken is more about the science of biotechnology.

Who Is Alleged Trump Golf Course Gunman Ryan Wesley Routh?
only registered users can see external links
--------------------------------------- added after 41 seconds
Donald Trump was in no danger
Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said Routh was about 300 to 500 yards from Trump. The shooter left behind an AK-47 style rifle equipped with a scope, which Bradshaw says put him within range.
Initially this individual voted for the Clown in 2016. In the 2020 election he posted in social media that the Clown had lost his way. This year he voted in the Carolinas or Georgia primary (they must have open primaries) as an independent
--------------------------------------- added after 2 minutes
Regardless how anyone thinks of the Clown, or any other candidate in any election, violence is not the way to protest. I guess one reaps what one has sown.
Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov
The AK-47 was designed by Mikhail Timofeyevich Kalashnikov. Kalashnikov was drafted into the Soviet Army in 1938; while serving as a tank driver-mechanic, he became interested in the operation of firearms.
A "Maga guy" would use a more refined weapon.
Eugene Morrison Stoner
Eugene Morrison Stoner (November 22, 1922 – April 24, 1997) was an American machinist and firearms designer who is most associated with the development of the ArmaLite AR-15 rifle that was redesigned and modified by Colt's Patent Firearm Company for the United States military as the M16 rifle.
What bothers me about this. neither of the 2 people that had planned or tried to harm Trump had a damn gun that was worth a shit for hitting a distance target. it's like, throw 30 and hope 1 hits.
Your side are the Russian lovers now. You are kissing Putin's sphincter 24/7.
He was the OG MAGA, when Trump was still a populist.
Trump has now turned in a RINO economically, mixed with stupid conspiracy theories.
As far that is known about him, that's why he hates Trump now.
Even though he is just as stupid and loves conspiracy theories too.
"Like most military rifles, are designed to be “man-sized target hitters” at typical engagement ranges. Which in modern warfare is 300 to 400 yards. 4 MOA accuracy is the generally accepted level of military accuracy which equates to a 4 inch wide circle at 100 yards and expanding by 4 inches for every 100 yards out. So at 300 yards, the AK-47’s maximum engagement range for aimed fire, that is a 12 inch area. Roughly the width of a person’s torso."
Reportedly, he did have a scope on that AK-47.

You are debunking your own conspiracy theories. A crazy guy will use what he has.
When crazy killers looking for Trump are actually starting to get professional,
and outfitted with specialized sniper rifles, then I might believe they are sent
by an enemy organization.
that he has a history of posting conspiracies on the internet,
and that he was carrying an AK-47?
Those are claims presented by your police and secret services
and are reported by all media, not just the 'libtards'.
If it's all 'shit', why should I even believe Trump was in danger at all?
I believe those claims in the news, because they are provided by several credible sources, including my own news outlets, public and private.
If any credible evidence comes out refuting the claims, I will correct
my opinions accordingly.
Meanwhile, you have an opinion and then you make up shit to support it.
The opinion is: "libs tried to kill Trump" and you struggle to find anything.
If 'libs' tried to kill Trump, he would be found death in his bathtub.
"We are very sad to report that mr. Trump has suffered a hearth attack."
Because they are smarter than YOU.
lend themselves to that goal, and sacrifice their life, safety and freedom
as a martyr for Trump.
Are you now angry at him, for not doing his job correctly?
Give the guy a break, he waited in the shrubbery for hours!
I'm not angry at him for not being successful. He would have made Trump a martyr and would give an easy win for whatever fucker follows in his footsteps.
Trump and Vance are stupid screw-ups. I prefer them as the other side.
Remember shitty britches controls the USSS. And probably whoever hired the nut.
when your side accuses him of actions he is not guilty of.
What is nutty, is your constant projection; accusing the other side
of what your side is (more) guilty of.
Your last sentence makes no sense: "Remember shitty britches controls the USSS. And probably whoever hired the nut."
What is the USSS? Does Biden control the USSS? Did someone hire Biden?
Does Biden control who hired him? (I assume 'the nut' refers to Biden)
And why should I remember something that your brain just now puked out?
Weird! The ramblings of a complete nutter!
My country beats yours on everything, even our stupid people are smarter
than you(rs). One week after our right-wing cabinet has produced its program, their popularity dropped to 33%. For my country, that's incredibly low.

Yours is just only serving the wealthy and ours is a bit more equal.
And take note of your record GDP/capita increase since 2020. Biden!
In what perspective would you want to put it?
Since 2008, our economy didn't do so well. If we put this in a political perspective, that is the period that my country was controlled by right-wing policies, making life more expensive for the working class.
In 2006 the public healthcare system was privatized, but the initial costs of the health insurance was still low, at $98/month with a no- claim. In 2008, the premium was raised to $106/month and the no-claim was changed to a $167 deductible. This was raised to $245 in 2012, $390 in 2013, and to $430 in 2016. The base premium is now $177/month.
In 2008, the full corporate income tax liability was introduced for housing associations, making rent more expensive. In 2013, the social housing levy was introduced, increasing rent again. In 2015, the right-wing government sold social housing to foreign private investors for ridiculously low prices.
House prices were rising fast since 1996, but in the period 1999 till 2011, the total housing debt of all households tripled. The average house price went up from $250,000 in 2012 to $510,000 in 2022.
Meanwhile, the gross modal income hardly went up between 2008 and 2020. Corrected for inflation, it went down.
This resulted in the working class having less money to spend, after paying for their fixed expenses, which harms the economy.
What do you think is excluded?
Right-wingers privatize public utilities. When they do, those utilities become more expensive.
We used to have a simple public system for our healthcare. Now we have 10 health insurance companies, with lots of products, all with separate contracts with the healthcare providers, lots of staff to manage the contracts, managing the budgets, negotiate prices, make decisions about people's healthcare, making healthcare providers fill in countless forms to justify their every minute, choice and prescription, all operating from huge marble buildings. We now have 31 health insurance offices in our small country.
only registered users can see external links
That is all very expensive. Do you understand that?
Our government promised that market economy competition would lower healthcare costs. That was either completely delusional or a filthy LIE.
In any case, it was serving the big insurance companies that now have a huge extra business. They are providing jobs for many people sitting at desks, but those people are doing something that is completely useless. They were not needed under the simple public system, but the massive increase in bureaucracy from the private system requires them now.
They could all have more useful jobs, in the current labor shortage.
Now they are just leeching from the system to pay for healthcare.
What crime, in what period?
Statistics say you're wrong that 'libtards' cause crime.
YOU were talking about the ECONOMY.
Costs of living are a vital part of that.
Right-wingers privatize shit. That makes life more expensive.
If people have less money to spend, that affects the economy.
Spending money on useless bureaucracy is bad for the economy.
I asked you if you understand? What did you not understand?
It happened under Bush remember? And he was warned about it!
And then Bush lied about who did it and threw your country in an illegal war,
that costed $8 trillion, contributed to some 4.5 million deaths,
and only resulted in the creation of ISIL.
They all remember that and it doesn't make them vote for Republicans.
What bigotry calling all young liberals lazy. Most of them are very successful.
You can be sure they are more successful than the INCELS that support Trump.

Young people either have very low wages or a horrible student debt, unless they have rich parents. That's not generalizing, like you do, that's just reality.
It's not because they are irresponsible, it's because your economy is centered around letting the wealthy exploit everyone else. Young people are exploited the most, because they grow up in this time, when there are the least chances to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. You and I grew up in a time when education and housing were much more affordable and a half decent job could pay the bills.
That time is no more. In the meantime you are destroying the world they should have been able to live in for another 60 to 80 years, and your fascist MAGA cult is coming for their freedom. That's not good motivation to become an obedient worker-drone.
The Middle East is indeed a breeding ground for the terrorism. That's not because the people there are bad by nature, but because they are controlled by religious extremists and dictators. The dictators make sure the people have no hope for a decent living and the religious extremists are there to channel their anger towards
the modern world.
Your own country has propped up those dictators and the religious extremists, because they didn't like Russia, and you toppled democratically elected moderate leaders, because you wanted their oil. You're now confronted with a monster of your own creation.
You keep thinking you can change their minds by bombing them, but that will never work. They hate you, they have a good reason to hate you, and every time you kill their families, they hate you more. Isn't that weird?
Why don't you give them less of a reason to hate you? You could stop propping up their dictators, with trillions of oil dollars. You could stop selling those dictators weapons, they use for genocides. When you make a deal with their government, to stop sanctioning their population into starvation, you could stick to the deal, for once. You're in control over treating those people better and making them hate you less. Exploit them less and they are not as willing to be suicide terrorists.
Besides your socialist ideas always suck and fail in the end.

Tim Walz did not put tampons in boys' bathrooms.
And no, putting tampons in boys' bathrooms makes no sense.
It's just a stupid lie, just like the kitty litter boxes in schools.
It's people like you, who make that shit up, who are weird.
It's also a sign of ineptitude, if you can't argue your points honestly.
In 2023, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz signed a law that requires schools provide access to menstrual products in bathrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.
This is the law:
only registered users can see external links
"Section 1. [121A.212] ACCESS TO MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS.
A school district or charter school must provide students with access to menstrual products at no charge. The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district. For purposes of this section, "menstrual products" means pads, tampons, or other similar products used in connection with the menstrual cycle."
Are boys "menstruating students"?
You recently accused me of not knowing what a woman is.
It looks like you don't know.
I believe the law said feminine hygiene products though. NOT MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS. But you make it sound even worse.
Still does not change the fact that I saw them in one boys bathroom, WEIRDO...Does tampon tim live with you?
Whatever you saw, it's not Tim Walz who signed on to that.
They are lying! If you keep repeating it, you are lying.
Do you live in Minnesota?
If people weren't so warped and would accept what they are, and make the most of it, these type issues would not be dividing our country
It's a possibility that some schools interpret it that way, but the law just must provide students with access to menstrual products at no charge. They can provide access to some exceptional cases in other ways than hanging tampon dispensers in the boys' restroom. I would not do that, because boys are pranksters, will use those tampons for whatever stupid thing they can think off, and then the transgender boy finds the dispenser empty. Just give them access to a locked closet with a supply of the necessary products and problem solved. But, maybe that's just my experience with solving problems, and some dumb-ass is actually hanging tampon dispensers in the boys' restroom.
Those people are not warped, your stupid hate-cult is warped for using them as scapegoats. Everywhere in the free world, the biological variations in humans result in about a same percentage of gender dysphoria. From 2017 through 2021, about 121,882 children ages 6 to 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria. There were 72.5 million children in the United States in 2022. That is a percentage of at maximum 0.168%, because they were diagnosed in 4 years, and some of them are not children anymore in the last year.
That percentage is withing biological parameters.
Your side is raging about it like we should expect at least 10% of the children to be trans. But, the outrage itself is the goal, because it distracts stupid people from actual problems. It's your hatred against them that is dividing your country, not those kids. You used to do it for the gays, and now you are doing it for the transgenders, and even smaller group. Somehow, you just need to hate, to make your life worth living. It's WEIRD!
The kitty litter story was about furries and it was a right-wing fantasy story
just intended to create outrage and hate.
those children's potentials are not maximized.
When you and your spouse both need to work 60 hrs a week, just to put food on the table, the children suffer from it, then those children's potentials are not maximized.
If you have health issues, but you cannot afford the medication to treat them,
your potential is not maximized.
If you get pregnant by mistake, while you are still in college, studying for a good job, but your state has outlawed mifepristone and misoprostol, for ending an early pregnancy, you can say your education goodbye, then your potential is not maximized.
When you are a autistic savant, but there are no specialized schools and teachers
who recognize your potential, then your potential is not maximized.
When you see your schoolmates get gunned down in front of you, and you publicly speak out in favor of gun control, and then the whole right-wing lunatic cult tries to destroy your life, then your potential is not maximized.
When you have an IQ of 165 and a gift for scientific thinking, but your parents are right-wing lunatics, who don't accept science, then your potential is not maximized.
When people cannot maximize their potential, it's not just them who suffer from it,
it hurts society.
Now you have tampon tim that knocked up the nanny and comrade cumala that cannot talk to the media and answer questions. Hell, she learned from shitty britches jb, hide...
Funny today she dodged question by pretending to talk on a phone with blank screen and connected earbuds. Why hold it to your ear with earbuds in your ears?
Even the things you make up about Tim Walz and Kamala Harris are weak sauce compared to the awful things Trump did and keeps doing.
Live here and you would see what tampon tim and comrade cumala has done. Although you would approve of it all little socialist boy.
You cannot SEE what politicians do, it requires research.
Do you live in Tim Walz's state? I'm sure many girls and women are happy with those free tampons. The story that they are in boys' and men's bathrooms are just lies.

Kamala helped your economy recover. You don't want to see that.
for free on the internet than in all the books combined. You just need to know
how to find it and know what's knowledge and what's disinformation.
Most were not on-line, those were live in hotel conference rooms.
Sure some small classes were on-line, but paid for by the boss.
After my education, I have bought books, but I never paid for on-line learning.
Yet, I have been thinking about several Open University courses though.
By the way, you can go to University, to study Political Science and they won't even explain what socialism is and what different ideas are categorized as socialism.
And the simple idea that I have just one life
and I would like to spend it in a happy place.
That's not even a sentence, let alone an argument.
If I want to live in a happy place -> human dignity is important.
It's not a nice place, if our human dignity is disrespected.
If human dignity is only for some people and not for others,
the whole idea of human dignity is worthless. Everyone has it, or not.
That means: Equality! Without equality, human dignity is unequal.
To achieve equality, we need solidarity! It doesn't just happen.
Human dignity -> Equality -> Solidarity
That's just common sense.
Solidarity is the basis of MY socialism.
What common sense do you use to support Trump?
Do some work to SHOW people why you have 100% more
common sense than me. Don't be lazy! TRY!!
What is the basis of your thinking that your common sense tells you?
Rich people are Gods? Jesus want's everyone to be selfish? WHAT?
that's your CONCLUSION!
I am a socialist and I am a member of the Socialist Party.
So what's your BASIS of thinking, to call me WRONG?
Last chance to show that your thinking is not just based
on indoctrination, but on your own thinking processes.
Provide a JUSTIFICATION FOR YOUR IDEAS!
Is your whole basis of thinking; "socialism is wrong"?
What is RIGHT then? And WHY?
My basis of thinking is not calling something else wrong.
Did I tell you it was "capitalism is wrong"?
No, because that is not a BASIS for thinking,
at best it's A conclusion.
I give up, you just cannot do it.
(Everywhere in the world where the biggest percentage of people are living in happiness and comfort, those are the most socialist countries in the world. That's an answer to that question.
Your question is not an answer to my question, but I still answered it, because you would use it as a lazy flip, if I didn't.)
At least phart has some basis for his thinking.
He just wants everyone to work and not get anything 'for free'.
It's not a BASIS, but he's closer to it than you.
Maybe his absolute basis is "Lazy = bad" or something.
He must have some ideal of a world in his mind though.
What part of my world view says anything about illegal aliens?
What part of my world view says anything about 'free stuff'?
I just want to live in a happy place.
Is 'free stuff' making you happy? How boring!
Solidarity isn't allowing illegal aliens.
Illegal aliens are disruptive to a society.
They are doing harm to solidarity and they
are not getting solidarity.
So, you don't agree with phart?
Or do you?
By the way; he hasn't confirmed it. I try to steal-man his basis, but he might disagree.
He want's self-employed people and investors make a nice life for himself, but employees are not worth it somehow.
That means there might be a level deeper to his thinking, but he has not explained it. It could also be just based on FEELINGS, that your right-wing media imprinted on his brain. Watching entitled elitists disrespect the working class for years, can rub off on the working class, making them disrespect themselves.
It's 'taking advantage', if it's not meant for you.
It's not 'free', it's solidarity.
But, I'm not for charity, I'm for helping people take care of themselves; maximizing potential.
And answer in the new chain, if you please.
Tampon Tim knocked up the granny? A pussy or a cock? Can’t have it both ways. Seriously, I can say Trump is a convicted felon, 34 times. I can say he was found responsible for sexually assaulting a woman, and I can say he’s facing charges for fostering an insurrection. I can also say that Harris DID give an interview.
I agree, due to his age and past positions in government, Trump won’t serve a day in jail, but, just from his appearance at some of his rallies, he’s heading to an old age home, too.
what is she hiding or what is she afraid of?
She is a do nothing coat tail rider that "worked" her way to where she is.

Second question
He’s due to be sentenced on Sept 18th
--------------------------------------- added after 52 hours
New info. Sentencing moved to after the election
I’m going to go to the hospital and have my double hernia surgery courtesy of my dumb ass government just swipe my card
Forgot to update your age for a while?
Why didn't you have the surgery sooner? Didn't have the money?
Medicare is paid for by taxes, paid for by your fellow Americans.
Health insurance is paid for by premiums, paid for by your fellow Americans.
What is the difference between those systems that you don't like?
Don't you like that you just swipe your card, in the case of Medicare?
Would you like to fill in a lot of forms and then still pay a lot yourself?
By the way; I have Health Insurance too, and when I would need to have an operation,
I just swipe my card. Just like when I was younger, and we had single payer healthcare. The only difference after our healthcare was privatized; it's much more expensive now and I pay for the dentist myself.
In any case: best of luck and hope you recover quickly!
You got your money hidden pretty well, don't you?

I bet cat is about chomping at the bit just knowing that i figured out the system and am using it to my full advantage
However, I want to live in a world where we don't constantly fight with each other
for what's best for ourselves, so I want to organize with everyone else, to share resources in a way that everyone can be happy about. No one wants everyone
to have the same, that's just a dumb straw-man of socialism. People who use their abilities and time to push humanity forwards should be rewarded for it.
However, we are living in a reality where the most selfish people are rewarded.
That is NOT how we eliminate fighting with each other for what's best for ourselves, that's the opposite. That means if you gain the system, to get what you want,
other people don't like that. Actually, you don't even like it yourself.
However, they should realize that's not your fault, that's the fault of EVERYONE,
not succeeding in sharing the resources in a way that everyone can be happy about.
I think my political ideas would create a way of sharing the resources in a way
that everyone can be happy about.
You know your political ideas don't do that. You know most people don't think of that as sharing the resources in a way that everyone can be happy about.
You just want an unpopular system forced upon them and not cry about it.
I just don't understand why, because even you seem to be not happy about it.
Yes, if he gets caught doing something illegal, Criminal Court for him and we won't hear from him for many years.
It doesn't matter what the owner class gets caught doing. If it even gets to a trial,
it will be Civil Court and some fines that the shareholders and customers will end up paying. At worst the company goes bankrupt, the owners will still get to keep all their billions of dollars, top management get nice severance pays and new cushy jobs, and the contractors, customers and employees are screwed.
When is the last time that you've seen a CEO or an owner of a big company
go to jail, for millions of dollars in fraud? That's the real two-tier justice system.

What it boils down to is the slip shod way welfare works but being that no one there speaks English I’m not at all surprised
If you are hiding a big part of your money on an account that you didn't provide the bank statement of, and they find out about that money, they will come for you hard.
If they ask you for bank statements, they are asking about your capital,
not just your property and income. Just be careful.
At some point, I was planning to accumulate some of my capital in the form of gold. The idea was that gold is a good insurance against inflation and that if I bought the gold long enough in the past, when I eventually go over the $125,000 exempt limit to the wealth tax, and the tax authorities won't have a record of it anymore. I didn't go through with it, after I bought one coin. It's too difficult to spend it eventually.
I'm sticking with just savings and investments.

Welfare is the necessary consequence of a broken system.
And they screw it up intentionally, so it doesn't work well enough.

Any way this is a short term thing just to drive cat nuts i just wanted her to see how slip shod our government really is
We have that so people can have capital without paying taxes on it and it makes it possible to make a partner or children co-owner. But, you pay business taxes over the money, when you take some out. It's only profitable if the holding makes a very good return.

dgraff my mistake
The funny thing is that dgraff thinks he's using socialism.
That's not socialism, it's the things they use to keep capitalism alive.
Meanwhile, capitalism is failing hard in America. The empire is collapsing.
Can you own a home in Florida and still get food stamps?
Assets - Most food assistance households may have assets such as vehicles, bank accounts, or property and still get help. Households with a disqualified member must meet an asset limit of $2,500 ($3,750 if the household contains an elderly or disabled member.

The foundation for SNAP was first built in 1933 as part of the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA). The program, referred to as the Federal Surplus Relief Corporation, was established in the midst of the Great Depression, when prices for crops fell dramatically and farms across America were struggling to deal with the excess supply. To support farmers, the Federal government bought basic farm commodities at discount prices and distributed them among hunger relief agencies in states and local communities.
Since 1933 every Congress continued to vote it in yearly intil the 1960's when it was made permanent by both Republican and Democratic administration.
During the Reagan Republican administration it was severely underfunded causing wide spread hunger of the people in poverty.
So, enjoy your Snap benefits knowing you were right. There are people who game the system.
but you love Republicans for giving wealthy people tax presents.
I like people who give me stuff, and I don't like people
who give what we all pay for to people who don't need it.
Just goes to show you how socialism always FAILS. You really are WEIRD.

He pumped 6 Trillion in the stock market, making the wealthy even more wealthy, but creating about 50% of the cause for the massive inflation, that hurts normal people.
The other 50% is price gauging, for which he has NO plans to fix.
I don't hate America, I just hate your anti-Americanism. America is liberal.

I'm going to assume, Dgraff, that you meant RFK Jr. Right family, wrong brother. JFK Jr died in a plane crash in the 1990's.
As far as your question, I'll tell you what it says, nothing. What a man with a worm eaten brain, an independent candidate and ex-Democrat, does politically, is not worth the time to think about.
He was polling last week at less than 4%. Most of his followers identymore with Democrats than Republicans.
Now, considering that the followers of Nikki Haley just formed a voting group called "Nikki Haley Republicans for Kamala Harris" and getting a wink from Haley, that is significant.
What does that say about the Republicans?
2 reasons, 1, will it even happen?
2,if Trump wins this time, will the vice prez be able to continue Trumps work? If not, we are fucked again for 4 years.
No choice but to trust Trumps judgement on that 1.
Tim Walz is at +9%, while JD Vance is at -10%.

There is no such thing as 'free' government healthcare,
but single payer healthcare is just much more cost efficient.
You don't need insurance companies skimming money from healthcare.
I support a retirement system that everyone pays into and then EVERYONE
is entitled to it, so that's you too.
I only support government aid for people who need it, otherwise it's just
useless waste in the form of pumping around money.
The system should work for people who don't know how to work it.
The system should maximize people's potential, not give an extra push
to people who are already winning, making it even harder for the people
who had to start the run with their shoelaces tied together.
They don't know what a woman is, so doubt they can tell a animal from a human.
Woman: Someone who lives up to the social construct that is typically associated with the phenotype, aesthetics and behaviors of a human female, of an age associated with legal maturity.
Just because I have a different opinion, doesn't mean I don't know.
But, I agree; use whatever is available to you, as long as it's legal.
When normal Americans like you get caught doing fraud, they crack down hard.
As you support yourself, fraud is only allowed for rich people.
In my country, wealth tax is exempt up to Ђ57,000 ($63,000) for a single person and double for a couple. It's for exempt assets; cash, savings and investments. It's 36% over a fictitious return on interest, dividend and trading. In 2024 that fictitious return is 1,03% for savings and 6,04% on investments. On my savings the interest rate is currently 2%, but I'm sure I make a better return on my investments than 6,04%. I don't know exactly, because that's a hell of a job
to correctly calculate.
I don't have to worry yet about paying wealth tax, but when I do get over the exemption of $126,000, I will just pay it. It's incredibly difficult to hide money in my country and the fines if they catch you are high. Also, I want to invest that money myself, which is impossible if I hide it in some Swiss or Cayman Islands bank account. The taxes I would be able to avoid would never compensate for the return I would not be able to make.
Trump is saying he's going to win, because he has a lot of people in place who are going to try to steal the election again.
Trump is hardly doing his best to convince people to vote for him.
He just recently said to his own cult-members;
"You don't have to vote, because we have more than enough votes!".
Even he knows that's bullshit. He is just preparing them to believe
that the election is 'stolen' again.
There are big problems in the US, number one is the corruption.
Basically, wealthy people are deciding who should win the election.
They are pumping billions of dollars into the election. Which side gets the most money is a much more reliable metric to predict the outcome of the election than any poll.
They are with the Democrats at the moment, because most of them still
prefer 'democracy', the democracy they mostly control, with their money.
Trump has no plans to FIX that corruption. He loves that corruption.
He also has no plans for any other problem, not even immigration.
You don't fix immigration with a wall, if the wealthy let them in to exploit them.
Democrats always had the better plans on immigration, but Republicans fool uneducated white people with simplistic lies.
Even the abortion thing is just messaging. Trump was always pro-choice.
Is taking away abortion fixing America? No the majority is pro-choice.
At least it was a simple thing, he could just do, for credit from his base.
He has no plans to FIX anything else. He is blabbering on about inflation and the economy, but anything Republicans are planning to appease their billionaires will hurt the middle class.
The only plans about FIXING social security and healthcare is crushing it.
Of course his most loyal cult-members will like that, but everyone else doesn't.
There are just still too many people who believe his stupid bluster.
It's up to the Democrats now to show Trump is just talk and they are not.
It's gonna take a massive landslide victory, to counteract Trump's efforts
to steal the election.
billions of dollars in taxes each year in your country?
What they pay is much more than what they get.
($96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022)
BTW, hello CAT.
damn shame they expect you to give up everything you worked for before they will help a little.
It is not right morally, shouldn't be right legally, for illegals and non citizens to get a damn thing from our tax money. so when citizens do find a way to get it,more power to them.
I care when the owner class is doing it, because they have not worked a day for their money. You have! Even while you had personnel.
Still, it's ridiculous that you get food stamps and phart doesn't.
If you can teach him some tricks, please do.
Maybe you took offence at my participation in the forums. Well, baby, take your thumb out of your ass and grow up.
If you are equating my participation in a two bit porn cite where everyone overstretches the true size of their "story" while taking pleasure in ganging up on someone that is a liberal AND tells it like it is, as opposed to real life , then, "baby", get a life.

a mini sanders?
Trump loves Xi Jinping, Putin and Kim Jong-un, because they are dictators.
"a mini sanders?" On policy, yes 'mini', on messaging, he's better.
The fact that the DNC's corporate overlords accept him as VP candidate
shows you that he is not even a socialist, let alone a 'communist Marxist'.
SOmething your idea of leadership is not capable of doing.
THe dems accept walz because they can hand him money and gain control.
They picked a poor man so people would relate to him before the election, and they could bribe him after.
When he says; "He wrote me beautiful letters and we fell in love",
and not just once, that's not getting in his face and calling his bluff.
Tim Walz chose service to his country, above making money his whole life,
and you think he's more susceptible to bribes than Trump, who has been scamming people and the taxpayer his whole life to get more money, who was bragging about how much his properties are worth for months, who had Saudi Arabia book his hotel rooms for several times the normal rate, who stole money from a charity for children with cancer, who is constantly begging his own cult-members for donations, scamming them to make those donations recurrent, who's selling them worthless NFT's, fake banknotes and pieces of his suite, uses campaign funds to pay his personal legal bills and lied about making money on selling blasphemous Bibles. He literally promised more tax-cuts for the wealthy, if they give him money. He's on record saying he cannot rage against electric cars anymore, because Elon Musk is funding him. He is the most corrupt president in American history. And that guy, you think is less susceptible to bribes than a guy who doesn't invest in stocks, on principle, because he thinks it's
an appearance of a conflict of interest.
Money is an illness and no one is more affected by it than Donald Trump.
His whole identity and self-worth is centered about being wealthy.
He doesn't have a conscience, his only measuring stick is his own interest.
He demands loyalty from everyone, but never repays it, because other people
are just a means to an end for him. He hates you, because you are stupid enough
to worship him. He needs that worship like a drug, but he disrespects everyone
who gives it, because within he is still the insecure child who was never loved,
and who knows he doesn't deserve to be loved.
Tim Walz centers his self-worth around family and doing good for his community.
Men like that are not controlled by greed, but by a conscience.
Everything is upside-down with guys like you.
while it is word by word consistent with the truth and his function.
I'm not doing that to Trump, I'm judging him on everything he says and does,
in general. I'm not splitting words to make a false point.
Even if it was true, you are judging a man on one sentence of speech.
AM I DOING THAT?
A man that does not invest in his own future no more than he has, can't be good for the country.
How has it helped YOU, by only supporting wealthy people to run the country?
They shouldn't invest in THEIR future, they should invest in YOUR future.
Democracy means electing people who represent YOU, not themselves.
They are being paid more than enough to not have to be selfish.
You do know politicians get paid for that job, don't you? YOU pay them!
You are their employer and you allow them to do whatever THEY want?
I would be a very 'nice' employer, but allowing my employees to work only
for their own benefit and fuck me over like that, is not being 'nice'.
That's being STUPID!
The risk they take of being shot at while playing ball, ridiculed, and you think they shouldn't even be able to invest in their own future,you are a fucking idiot,what is the incentive to be in public office in your eye?
are making $174,000 per year. Seeing how useless most of them are,
that's very generous. Our representatives make $137,162 till $181,661 per year, depending on where they live. Our Prime Minister makes $194,182 per year.
The incentive is to serve the country!
What's the incentive to be a soldier or a police man?
What do you do with a policeman who takes bribes from suspects,
to let them go? Or one who sends looters to destroy a shop that's
competing with his family's shop?
they would pick it for themselves.

Looking around, why are y'all laughing?
He was a civil rights attorney, he taught constitutional law, and he was an Illinois senator.
it's not smart to accuse the opposition of that.
You previously said only physical labor was 'working'.
Strange how your opinions differ per person.
Trump is a useless lazy fuck-up. If he hadn't been born wealthy,
he would have never been able to become wealthy.
Obama didn't have wealthy parents, he is a self-made man, excelling in his studies, working as a writer and editor in Manhattan, being a community organizer in Chicago, lecturing on constitutional law at the University of Chicago, working as a civil rights attorney, serving in the Illinois Senate (1997 – 2004) and as a U.S. senator (2005 – his election for president).
He was infamous for not paying his bills and fighting it out in court. He went bankrupt SIX times, because he is stupid. The only reason for why he never lost everything is because of the two-tiered justice system that favors entitled assholes. Every one of his ideas failed miserably. The only thing he's good at is branding. When you play a successful businessman on TV, dumb people like you believe that. The Apprentice was actually his only real paying job.
The rest is just income from owning his father's business. It's almost impossible to destroy a legacy like that. Still, even before he was president, his debts were probably as high as his assets. When he is forced to pay his fines, it will probably unravel to less than nothing.
If you have 500 Million Dollars, it's almost impossible to fail in life.
You can live on it like a king and you don't have to do anything to make it grow.
You just need to pick 'the best people' to do it for you. Trump sucked at that.
You could have done the same as Trump, probably better.
Tim Walz grew up poor. His father died of cancer and left a huge medical debt.
He only earned some money from his military career, the military grand paid for his education and he was a teacher, which is a humble job. He was elected governor, as a progressive, running in a conservative area, because he is authentic and working class.
The family of Kamala Harris has some money, because her father is an economist. He was a self-made man, from education and having brains to develop himself. He became the first black scholar to be granted tenure in Stanford's Department of Economics. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a biologist who arrived in the United States from India in 1958 to enroll in graduate school in endocrinology at the University of California, Berkeley.
A research career of over 40 years followed, during which her work on the progesterone receptor gene led to advances in breast cancer research.
That allowed Kamala to have a good education too. Everything after that, she achieved by being successful, for decades. She won important cases as a prosecutor. She won elections for district attorney of San Francisco and for
the Senate. Her parents were not rich or famous enough to provide Kamala with anything, besides her education.
Your nonsense comes from complete ignorance. You don't know anything
and you refuse to learn anything.
TRUMP 2024.
Any time I ask you for any justification or fact supporting your ideas,
you fail miserably. To say it's based on quicksand would be a compliment.
They didn't in any way have money that would make it easy for them
to just coast on it, like Trump has done with his father's money.
Trump was too rich to fail, from birth, Obama, Walz and Harris were not.
You don't understand that, because you never even think about it.
Instead of learning from it, you flip again.
As for Trump "working", i didn't say he did, I just said at least he did take risk and has investments to grow and maintain his life thru out.
not depending solely on the government.
If you want to see Trump lie, pick any random 1 minute of him speaking.
He lies about everything, all the time. Why does he do that?
You are flip-flopping to the next point. The point of discussion was who 'never worked a day in his/her life'.
Especially Tim Walz served your country for 24 years in military service. He started at the bottom at age 17 and he worked himself up to be the highest ranking enlisted soldier ever to serve in Congress. You would praise him to no end, if he was on your side. His retirement is what the military and his political positions provide. He is not investing in stocks and shares, that could be a conflict of interest. No one claims he doesn't have a savings accounts.
Again, you would praise him to no end, if he was on your side.
But there is no one like him on your side, only selfish grifters.
And you are dumb to consider those representatives.
They only represent themselves.
he is now worth,70 million.
Oh it is claimed he has sold alot of books,
you can believe that if you want to, walz wants in to secure under table money
Your politicians all make more money on the side, than they make from the actual job, from 'presents' from the wealthy, donations to their 'charitable foundations', consulting fees, passing around their donations until some of it ends in their won pockets, expenses that aren't expenses and from insider trading. Then a lot of them have a business on the side that somehow seems to always benefit from the political decisions they are involved in. They never recuse themselves and are shameless when it comes to conflicts of interest. They always have family members who are offered nice paying cushy jobs, they are not qualified for. Their businesses have customers who seem to be very dumb, pay way too much for bad service, but never complain, because they are 'good friends'. When I say that, you think of Democrats, but this is all 10 times worse for Republicans. You just think they have a responsibility to take care of their family, but when Democrats do it, it's corruption.
In any case, Tim Walz doesn't do that.
In my country, that type of corruption is still mostly rare, except for the most right-wing. They refuse to be transparent and organize their parties in a way to avoid transparency rules. My Socialist Party is the most transparent and the most democratic party of all Dutch parties. All their money comes from small membership fees, small donations and the solidarity contribution from all paid politicians. They have been fighting hard for stricter transparency rules, but the right-wing majority always votes it down. I hope that rank corruption that you have never comes to my country, especially now the right-wing populists are in the drivers seat. (By the way, they are failing at everything they have promised their voters. It's very much like the corporatism of the previous cabinet. All their populism vaporized and they assigned an unassuming centrist, former intelligence agency manager as Prime Minister. You would call him 'the swamp' or 'deep state'.)
