What do you think of this? Is Rio a better place to be because of the chance of nuclear war?

Bannon' federal judge refused to postpone the contempt trial.
Bannon might be behind bars before the end of July.
With the other deplorables.

It is similar to George Soros, of the same tribe as Fink, who made his billions as a predatory, socially-damaging currency speculator, and is now spending it funding far-left Globohomo movements that nobody wants (pushing tranny shit on kids, DAs who don't prosecute criminals, etc).
Fortunately for China (and now Russia) they are not entangled in these nefarious tentacles and so are free to have healthy policies that benefit their own people. That is also why third world countries are increasingly turning away from the West and toward China for investment and development. China doesn't push faggotry, trannies and climate bullshit on people who want none of it. They just want to turn a profit. Expect China to step in and help Sri Lanka, adding to most of Africa that they now essentially control (to the material benefit of most Africans).
When the big upheaval comes here in America, we must develop a system not reliant on Jewish finance or we risk falling prey to the same disasters again.

As a secondary matter, they (and the treacherous RINO / Cuckservative / Chamber of Commerce types whom we are currently banishing from the GOP, see Liz Cheney primary next month for an update) want them as a serf class. Rather than hire American tradesmen (or American teenagers for simple jobs like lawnmowing as people used to in the old days) they can get some dodgy Guatemalans to do the work on the cheap. Of course it will probably be shoddy and soon break, but few people think long term when they can save up front.
Of course none of the illegals will pay tax, and many of the American tradesmen will be forced onto welfare as a result, so it's a twofer to increase the national debt. Bring on $40 trillion!
Finally, not "USA for white people" but "USA for heritage Americans". That includes white, black and native people who were here before the 1965 Immigration Act was passed <be under false pretenses</ be . The sponsors of the bill such as Ted Kennedy flat out lied (a democrat habit, as we see with your overt lies about "armed protesters" on Jan 6) and told the American people that the country's demographics would not be changed. We must correct that lie and return to the demographics that made the country great in the 20th Century.

I am not sure where you get off with your racist crap. We red states love productive, legal immigrants. If you guys want to let the trash in, that is fine with us but now you can pay for it.

Yes, I have seen the nonsense about how people are not better off now than they were in the 1990's but that is bunk. The whole pie has grown bigly since then, and the poor are better off than they were.
The bigger issue is who do the pols serve, us or the billionaires? I think you know the answer to that. Thing is the election of Trump was, and this is ironic because he himself is a billionaire, a middle finger to the ruling elite.
As for the billionaires keeping people down, that is just pure BS. Acai is a fruit / pine nut that was brought to the USA by a hippie type guy a few decades ago. I met him. He liked the taste so much he brought it here. He was putting it in drinks, ice cream ETC. I joked that Coke was going to keep him down, and he said it was the opposite. They encouraged him. They told him if he kept driving his sales higher he would be big enough for Coke to acquire. The same goes in tech. The startups are always looking to be bought by Facebook / Meta and Google.
I remember people incredulous when Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion. The thought was they overpaid but now they are Facebook's crown jewel. The people who say you cannot make it here if you do not work hard are full of it.
The underlying fundamental issue with the USA and this is strange to say but the women are not having as many kids. Everyone thinks inflation is due to excessive money printing and it is but the demand side is more important and inflation is really driven by the number of young people. Once a person hits age 47, they consume less and less of all things save for health care.
With less inflation, that allows the federal reserve to stimulate growth with ultra low interest rates. This is what causes the huge disparities in wealth. In the early 1980's when we had high interest rates, a business making $1 million a year may be worth $4 million. A tech company with decent growth prospects making $1 million per year may be valued as high as $50 million or more.
Because profits are so important and multiplied as high as they are, there is enormous pressure to keep costs low. When you have a PE ratio of 50 plus like Amazon did, every $1 increase in wages is $50+ out of Jeff Bezos pocket. This drives not just companies but all of society to be on enormous edge. The thinking is if we upset the apple cart the enormous wealth generated will fall. So the government has gotten together with the wealthy and have used this as an excuse to wage war on our freedoms. For the most part, the most basic civil rights are gone. Hell, if you mention to the police you know your rights, they will assume you are guilty of something.
What pisses me off is that when people are asked about searches. They say, "If you have nothing to hide, why not let them?" It is as if the notion that the police may plant something is impossible or are up to no good in another way. I would not have believed this if a lawyer had not told this to me but one guy was arrested because his Viagra was not in a prescription bottle. He had 10 pills and back then they were worth like $200. They arrested him, put him in jail, and when he was let go two days later, the pills were gone. I got to hear stories like this all the time. If it was not the lawyer but the guy, I would not have believed it. I would have said, "Come on, what did you really do?" but the police arrested him so they could steal his Viagra.
When you have companies so on edge with profits, they are susceptible to the police saying we are here to keep the order. Snowden let us know we were being searched illegally and he is in Russia now while the guys who are doing and have done it go free. That is the issue I have with the USA.
I have decided that other countries want to do what the USA has but eventually I want to live in a country where the government is not as trusted or efficient as we are. I am also wanting one with a lot more younger people.
FWIW, JustTK, my brother traveled the world looking for the best country in the world to live in and after all his travels, he came back here. It is not the land of the free anymore (not sure if it ever really was) but it is still the land of opportunity.
One of the reasons I traveled so much to South America was that the demographics were so much more favorable, and they still are. Africa and South America have the best demographics for growth in the world.

But let's not bring on a separation. Just bring on the Army.

Here's what really happened on the phone call. First, Trump wasn't the only person on the phone. Also present were Mark Meadows, Mike Pompeo, and multiple attorneys. There isn't the slightest chance that they would have allowed Trump to beg Raffensperger for illegal votes or to threaten him.
Second, contrary to what the media implied, Trump was not operating off the premise that he lost Georgia. If that had been the case, it would indeed have been wrong for Trump to beg for Raffensperger to "find" votes for him.
Instead, Trump was operating from the assertion that he won Georgia. He opened the call with a strong recitation of the facts showing massive fraud on Raffensperger's watch. According to Trump's evidence, he didn't lose by 11,780 votes; he won by well over 300,000 votes, including votes for Trump that disappeared and illegal votes for Biden. Here are some of Trump's statements in that regard:
"I think it's pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially in Georgia. ".
"We have. Anywhere from 250300,000 ballots were dropped mysteriously into the rolls. ".
"We think that if you check the signatures a real check of the signatures going back in Fulton County you'll find at least a couple of hundred thousand of forged signatures. . ".
Trump pointed to 4,925 illegal out-of-state voters, 2,326 absentee ballots from vacant addresses, 5,000 dead people voting, and improperly handled drop boxes. And he brought up the allegations that Georgia is shredding evidence as fast as it can.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...tutional-duty/
The Georgia Republican Party censured Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Saturday for "dereliction of his constitutional duty. ".
WHEREAS, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger failed to perform his duties in accordance with the laws and Constitution of the state of Georgia, and Republican Party values, including but not limited to:
Entering into the Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release, which changed Georgia's absentee voting procedures outside the Constitutionally prescribed format set forth in Georgia law.
Undermining the security of our elections by allowing mass mailings of absentee applications by his office and third parties which created opportunities for fraud and overwhelmed election offices; rendering accurate signature matching nearly impossible; allowing ballot drop boxes without proper chain of custody; and ignoring sworn affidavits and evidence of voter fraud;.
WHEARAS, the fecklessness and failures of Secretary Raffensperger were enabled by the actions and inactions by others such as LT. Governor Duncan, who denied that there was election fraud and punished Georgia Republican State Senators who asked for election audits; Attorney General Carr, who allowed his office to file an amicus brief opposing the lawsuit asking for inspection of the Fulton County absentee ballots; and legislative leaders who failed to fully address known election issues prior to the runoff; all have, either by their direct action or inaction, significantly eroded confidence in our state's election system.
https://www.worldtribune.com/report-...orgia-ballots/
April 9, 2021.
Report: Still no chain of custody for hundreds of thousands of Georgia ballots.
The Georgia Secretary of State's office reported 1. 3 million absentee vote-by-mail ballots were cast in the 2020 election. The Georgia Star News report noted that polling performed by John McLaughlin & Associates suggests that 600,000 of those ballots were placed in drop boxes throughout the state.
The Star News in December filed Open Records requests to Georgia's 159 counties in an effort to procure copies of the ballot transfer documentation. As of Thursday, the outlet has only received chain of custody documentation from 59 counties.
Based on the estimated 600,000 votes placed in drop boxes statewide, the outlet reports that it has yet to receive documentation for 355,918, or 59.3 percent of those 600,000 ballots.

The moron brigade still claims that these "useless low IQ welfare immigrants" are all coming to take your jobs. You, Chrissy, have said so yourself. So unless your job is of an unskilled nature, these immigrants ain't going to take nuttin'.
The simple facts of the matter is that you believe in a "USA for white people" mantra. All of your post say that in one form or another. The simple facts are that you are scared spitless that the US is becoming "browner" and you can't do anything to stop it. All of your post say that in one form or another.
If you want to live under a dictator, please move to China. Or Russia. Or anywhere else where don't have the freedom to spout your BS. The majority of folks in the US don't want a dictator and never have.
Your white robe is showing.
