That's pretty insane... I knew Greece exceeded and fell to shit, but I didn't know so many other nations have done the same now.

It's a serious house of cards that shows that if they can survive for any time with that amount of debt over their GDP means that when one falls, the rest will fall as well.

I can see where you're coming from now. Yeah, you can go back further time and point to places and say 'this is the start', and I won't disagree with that.

Kiev was the great city that Oleg captured and made as the capital for the Rus. I consider that as the beginning because their wealth ballooned and solidified the empire. I totally concede the point that Kyiv existed long before Oleg came, and it wasn't the capital of the Rus until he did.

I dunno man... It's one of those things where it's never been tested in this situation type of thing. When it comes down, and it will, we'll be in unknown territory - with the only history to match to with FDR. Confiscation of wealth for The New Deal.

The 80k new IRS agents are there for a reason... It's to come snooping for your wealth in the collapse and making sure they get whatever they can take from you.

No... the most recent country I can remember that crossed the threshold of debt to gdp was Greece. Remember what happened with Greece?

The only thing saving us IS the dollar and our willingness to kick other countries around who don't agree with us, which makes sure the dollar is reserve currency of the world. We lose the ability to kick other countries around and we lose the dollar, then it's Venezuela economy time.

The Dem party hijacked our Presidency and steered us into destruction.

Joe Biden has fucked us, and it's the reason why JB said 'There's no alternative'. We've been checkmated.

This would be stopped dead in its tracks if the Mayor came out on TV and said - "We're not going to prosecute shootings while a riot is going".

I don't think you understand what I'm saying - the place on a map, called Ukraine, is the birthplace of Russia, not the State of Ukraine.

I think you're ignoring Oleg the Wise, and he would disagree as Kiev was a principle province during the birth of Russia. Stating that Ukraine wasn't a state until 1917 ignores that the area known as Ukraine was the birthplace of the Rus people and Russia state.

You're being pandentic.

Ignoring that Ukraine is the brithplace of Russia ignores why Putin is as interested as he is with Ukraine, but I'm all ears listening as to why Putin shouldn't ignore it.

I dunno man, I bet if you pulled him out of the car and asked him to recite his ABCs backwards or to count down from 87 to 76, he may ask his parents to be present for his new job interview or may demand that he be given a test material book, with a nap in between.

Failing that... He'll identify as being black and claim the BAC test is racist.

Rapers gonna rape. Hold her accountable for someone who preys on women? Even if it were consensual, there's a reason why some men are called "womanizers".

Kind of a silly argument altogether... "I can't believe you slept with Lundberg!"

It's so crazy to see how suddenly they realize they've been supporting Nazi's when we've been saying all along that these fuckers are Nazi's! Images of Swastikas in their malls, videos of reburial's of German WWII soldiers remains being given military honors wearing Nazi uniforms. Azov division being a Nazi division...

I mean c'mon people!!! People will ignore the truth until it jumps up and bites them in the ass, and they're suddenly suprised in the realization that the truth was being told to them the entire time!

As opposed to what's happening already?

Mob rule isn't people protesting or voicing their opinions... Mob rule is people taking people from their homes and decorating their trees with their bodies.

I don't have a problem with birthright citizenship, but I do have problems with entitlements and non-landowner voting, remove those things and you remove the incentive to just come and giving birth to someone for the sake of citizenship.

Strip elected officials of security and I think that problem would resolve itself. I think elected officials would be far more careful in their votes and plans for America.

I married someone who has a heart of gold, the mercy of a saint, and compassion of mother Teresa. She truly is the most gentle, loving, and loyal individual that I've ever known, and I'm honored to be blessed that she chose me.

If there's any problem in our relationship, it's because of my doing, and I know this to be true. Finding her brought me back to God, because I quickly realized I needed to be a better man, better than just blindly pathing through life, God works through her.

And Congress must have the SAME health care options as we do, along with the same penalties for having a good one.

Right now... Congress gets TRICARE, the same health plan as our military does. Why the fuck should they get the same health care as our military? The ONLY saving grace to that statement, and this is looking with naive eyes and with a far stretch of the imagination, that maybe they'd fund the military health care system better so they'd receive better health care being on the same plan.

Since I never had the pleasure to serve (I wanted but couldn't because of health issues, they refused me) I'm sure there are 'tiers' in the military health care in which the politicians probably receive far better care than those who actually get bullets fired at them.

Democrats have been used to slave labor for a very long time... I dunno why people don't understand that this is purely the reason why they've opened up the border.

  1. Inflation bad! Ok open up the border and bring a bunch of people in to drive down wages. Oh! Inflation better now! But what a minute, my dollar doesn't buy more, it's just that the price tag has gone down and I have to work longer for the same items!

  2. Dollar bad! Ok, well, that's because you're dumb and don't know how to invest your money, or save it, and so you're just really bad with money. So, let's give you a hand up... We're going to give you some money every month so you can afford to have a steak every now and again.

  3. I'm rich! I'm going to buy steaks every day now because government has given me extra money to afford nice food!

Rinse, fucking repeat, this is the cycle of being USED by your government and Democrats and how inflation is programmed into our economy! We're programmed to accept a 2% loss of our wages every year and we're happy to get a 3% raise - a net difference of 1%!!!

Imagine buying a boat that leaks 2% every year... That's your money. You cannot save enough money without risking your money. Or, in other words, if the top dogs feel you're getting uppety, they'll pull the carpet out from under you and your 'savings' by crashing whatever market you've saved in - just so they can buy it off of you for pennies on the dollar that is pennies on the dollar you earned 20 years ago.

Gasoline - to me and every other person who knows anything regarding science - is made via a distillation tower, much the same as if I were to make my pappy's moonshine. Ya see, us old moonshiners know a thing or two about making distillates.

Gasoline doesn't exist in nature, as well as Diesel, or Kerosine, or JP4, or any other distillate that comes from crude oil - Crude oil is fucking REALLY crude and is practically useless in its natural form. But I'll slide ya some slack in saying that Gasoline would be a rock in -250f, to be honest, I hadn't given a thought about what temperature Gasoline would freeze, and since I never gave it a thought or third, maybe that's what it is there.

My only quip in this is to suggest that 'Gasoline' would be on another planet, or that some substance somewhere would be referred to as Gasoline. It's a dishonest argument or supposition to make in general. Gasoline is NOTHING like what we find in nature, because it comes from a distillation tower - it's MAN MADE.

"gasoline" doesn't exist without it being created. There's no gasoline on Titan.

Exactly why we're a republic, a 'full democracy' is one vote away from communism, or any other form of repressive government. A republic isn't vulnerable in the same way, it takes many many votes to undo, and a war, as we see from 1865.

Red states should change their constitution so that a rural county has as much weight as a city vs. majority vote within a state as winner take all. That would be a better representation of people within a state as it would allow a larger voice for the people who actually work for a living.

Or better yet, go back to land owner voting.
