[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;3006758]The Democrats have been every bit as neoliberal as the Republican since the defeat of Dukakis in 88.

Yes indeed Scumbag Bubba tried his damnedest to destroy the USA for a few shekels!! He set in motion many of the issues of major today.

And I would be remiss if I didn't hold Scumbag Ronnie to account as well, with his amnesty of illegals in 86.[/QUOTE]When we talk about China what is going to do them is their demographic decline. China will lose a large percentage of its population over the next coming decades.

One reason immigration is necessary is without immigrants the United States would suffer the same demographic decline. Up until covid the United States was the only developed country with an increasing population. Stop the flow of immigrants and this becomes a decline which will affect the country far more than having a few bad apples amongst the bunch.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3006660]Well, that explains a lot.

Yeah, well you like a strong USA military when you live abroad. Unlike the rest of us who live here, all we care about is the homeland being protected. It was different when the USA was getting 70% of its energy from abroad. Now we are an energy exporter.

Europe and Japan are and were dependent on foreign crude as well. In that world, they were our allies. In this world, they are our business competitors. We pay for their defense and they take money they should be spending for their defense and pay for their social programs. Trump has looked at that and concluded it is a ripoff. Seeing how you live abroad, you have a different value system than those of us who live in the USA. You want the USA military to be protecting you.

What you see as treasonous, I see the other way around. Why are we paying for the defense of our "allies" and the world? It no longer benefits us. We are giving our business competitors a leg up. Spending money on foreigners and not Americans is what I see as treasonous.

That again? Biden allegedly got more black votes than Obama. Harris got 75 million votes in 2024. Biden got 81.2 million in 2020 in the middle of a fucking pandemic and in 2024, this was after Biden opened the door to all these illegals to vote Democrat, tens of millions more. Not defending our borders is an act of treason. Trump got 2 million more votes in 2024 than 2020, so all these alleged Biden voters did not switch sides.

The lab leak being the cause of the pandemic was suppressed. There was a literal conspiracy among the intelligence agencies and the media about the Hunter Biden laptop. Shit, we still got Loony Tooms here calling it Trump's pandemic versus the China pandemic and Spidy's throat is sore given how many blowjobs he has given the CCCP. The polls were complete bullshit as they always have been when Trump runs. Biden's health was being lied about. And no one was put under oath about rigging an election as the judges wisely did not want to here dick about their needing to overturn an election, and the Dems are like, "You see the judges are on our side. " which was complete bullshit.

I disagree with the tactics on January 6 but the people were patriots not traitors. If you are going to call the January 6 marchers traitors, then you better come up with where these 6 million more votes came from. The Democratic douche answer is I do not know. Well, that is not good enough. If the Democratic douches were really interested in the truth, they would be demanding that this be looked into. They have not. What does that tell you?

We Republicans do not need this investigated. We know what fucking happened. Like I said, the January 6 marchers were patriots, and I get their passion, but the goal should have been learning how the Democrats cheated and not letting them do it again which is ultimately what happened. I am not going to condemn people marching on Washington in an election that was so obviously rigged. Yes, a few were violent or thieves, and there is no excusing that. But arresting those who just showed up after being let in which was almost all of them? Give me a fucking break!

You mean the neocons made up of Eastern European Jews who want Muslims and Christians dead? They dominated Republican foreign policy when Bush was president and when Republicans learned what they were really up to, they were tuned out. Now they have taken over the foreign policy of the Democratic party and the results have been just as bad, millions more Muslims and Christians dead.

When you really get down to it, a president is limited with much of what he can do, Probably his greatest power is the military. No, Trump has not done all he said he was going to, but no one expected him to. The difference with regards to war with Biden and Trump is where there is a completely different and refreshing change.[/QUOTE]Bretton woods was fantastic for the world. The United States Navy kept the sea lions open for international commerce without prejudice. And when the United States was the sole hegemon after the fall of the Soviet Union we saw a dramatic decrease in war deaths. With the weakening of the United States military, the end of bretton woods, and the rise of China and a resurgent russia, we are going to see far more proxy wars. When the United States was the scary big dog these countries didn't dare move in the wrong direction.

Donald Trump weekend the United States position dramatically during his first term by trying to be buddy buddy with Vlad for one. I do fall Biden for not declaring a no-fly zone the minute Putin started massing troops on the Ukraine border.

A strong United States military is excellent for you if you live in the United States as is a strong dollar and a large trade deficit. It allows you to buy goods cheaply.

As far as a Jewish conspiracy against islamics and christians, meh. For the most part Israel just wants to be left alone. Let's face it at the Arabs taking the 47 partition plan we'd have to States and no problems right now. But they weren't willing to share. And each time they attacked Israel they lost territory. I think what both Israel and the islamists have done to the Palestinian people is absolutely abominable. Since Arafat and the rise of the PLO Palestinians have presented a threat to the other Arab states. See Jordan, syria, and Egypt and do a little digging. It's interesting that most of the Arab states have stronger laws against islamists than we do in the West, because they know the threat they pose, as does Israel.

Before the current horrors opened in Gaza started by the October attacks, Saudi Arabia was on the verge of recognizing Israel and the rest of the Gulf States would have fallen in line leaving the Shia States isolated, which is perhaps the best we could hope for in the Middle East. I don't think it's pure coincidence that Hamas decided to attack knowing full well that the Palestinian people it is supposed to protect would bear the brunt of what was to come. Probably had a lot to do with the impending agreement between Israel and Saudi.

Well, of course it wants to be left alone. After all, it's stolen land and *continues* to steal land, as we speak and like any crook it wants to retain its ill gotten goods. Hey Goatscroat, how would you like it if I come into your home, steal it, tell you get the fuck out and don't come back? Are you going to take it laying down, like a spineless coward? Are you, Goatscroat? Are you? Because that's what you asked the Palestinians to do in 1947.

I know America was built on stealing others' lands and so you cannot really empathise but try and be a little objective: if tomorrow, a large number of Jews said they are going to take Texas or Arizona out of the US, how will you respond? OH BUT WAIT. WE KNOW HOW YOU WOULD RESPOND! There would be a freaking civil war. So ease of your double standards, brother.

America is the problem. In fact it's the zionists and neo conservatives and evangelical christians all colluding in their reprehensible genocidal oppression of the Palestinians all the while professing their supposedly morally superiority- they are no different from any other pervese ideology like communism or nazism, except they have been far more successful in retaining their stranglehold on the naive and ignorant average American. Israel IS the tail that wags the American dog. No decent human could ever defend the Brooklyn born and bred blue eyed Jew, who has little to no attachment to Palestine other than his say so, and who literally steals the land and home of a Palestinian and whose response to the Palestinian who protests is "if I didn't steal it someone else would". I didn't make this up, I have seen this in a video and he's actually one of the "good ones" who don't carry guns to kill the Palestinians.

There's not much separating Trump and his batshit senile fuckwit predecessor, there's the cruel and the super cruel. So much for your truth, Justice and the American way, SuperGoatscrot.

While both Putin and Zelensky are both totally ignoring The Worst Negotiator and weakest 'man of peace' in history, the far smarter of the two whenever Trump has a meeting with anyone, the other person, in this case it was Zelensky, must have been stifling the biggest horse laugh of all time when that fat orange numbskull revealed himself to be the dumbest democracy-hating wannabe tin pot dictator on the planet with his grand pronouncement that Zelensky "has no cards"!

Lololol.

[B]Ukraine launches massive drone strike on air bases deep inside Russia.[/B]

[QUOTE]State of play: Ukrainian intelligence agents launched 117 attack drones from trucks that have been covertly placed near Russian air bases some of them in Siberia thousands of kilometers from Ukraine.

Around 40 Russian military planes most of them strategic bombers were reportedly hit in the attack. Zelensky said 34% of Russias strategic bombers were hit.

A Ukrainian official said the planes that were attacked were used by the Russian military for air strikes on Ukrainian cities.
"The people who assisted us were withdrawn from Russian territory before the operation, they are now safe," Zelensky said.[/QUOTE]Don't hold your breath waiting for numbskull democracy-hating Trump to declare Zelensky a "genius" and "savvy" for this brilliant textbook military maneuver the way he praised his Top Lover Putin when he attacked, bombed and invaded Ukraine.

[QUOTE=Spidy;3006981]Oh, you mean that phantom "IRS data" on billionaires, that don't exist

If this "data" was REAL (and specific to billionaires), you'd be parading it in my face at every opportunity. So where is it, this so called "IRS data" on billionaires?[/QUOTE]Man, you are so easily fooled. Here are the limits on how much someone in allowed to donate in elections. [URL]https://www.fec.gov/updates/contribution-limits-for-2023-2024/[/URL].

To get around the limits, the very rich give to PACs and each type of PAC has different rules with regards to it but what you do not get is that they are not a funnel to the candidate. The PACs can do what they want with the money and often that means the people working for the PACs have figured out ways that they can put some of that money in their own pockets.

Then of course, the PACs are not always in alignment with what the rich donor wants. They may say they are to get money, but they may not be. There are differences in opinions, and the PACs by law are barred from coordination with the candidates.

As for your dumb ass actblue group, they split the money up into Republican and Democrat donations but the reality is most PACs give to both sides, [URL]https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/top-pacs/2024[/URL].

And then they totally whiff on the dark money.

[URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_money[/URL]

The rich can donate to 501 (c)(4) (often called social welfare organizations) and those donations can be made totally in the dark.

In the 2020 election cycle, there was more than $1 billion in undisclosed spending; of that money, $514 million was spent to help Democrats and $200 million was spent to help Republicans. Joe Biden received $174 million in anonymous contributions, over six times as much as Donald Trump's $25 million.

The Sixteen Thirty Fund, an affiliate of liberal donor advised fund Arabella Advisors, spent $410 million in 2020 (more than the Democratic National Committee itself), largely focused on helping Democrats defeat President Donald Trump and winning back control of the United States Senate. Because of the way they are legally structured, Arabella Advisors and its affiliates are not required to disclose their donors, and they have not opted to do so. The Sixteen Thirty Fund raised $390 million in 2020, with half of that amount coming from just four donors.

And this is from your own article, The contribution totals shown here are undoubtedly an undercount, since thanks to another giant loophole in the campaign-finance system a lot of political spending is anonymous. Billionaires can funnel donations through so-called "dark money" groups, which use the money both to fund their own political advocacy and to contribute to candidates, parties and PACs.

So let's summarize, you read these stupid and biased propaganda pieces and buy them hook, line, and sinker. You claim they proved the billionaires are supporting Republicans when in reality it proved nothing of the sort. In the fine print of your propaganda piece the authors admitted they have no fucking clue where all the money comes from.

And you thought this statement was the dumbest in the world, "If you think Kamala got $1 billion in donations from small donors, I have a bridge to sell you. "

So congratulations, you dumb Democratic douche, AKA Mr. Facts, I just sold you a bridge. Now please send me a check.

And that POV was gradually working its way up the chain, and the Saudis need muscle since we are pulling out, and Israel can supply it. And Israel needs money which Saudi Arabia has. That raid was designed to scuttle that alliance, and it worked. I was actually hoping that the Israelis realized that and showed more restraint that we did after 9-11 and focus on those responsible versus just mass killing, but they did not. They were just as dumb as we were and this potential, common sense alliance has been set back by years.

Yeah, you know it really is amazing how many people have fallen for the China bullshit. I was talking to a girl from Vietnam. I mentioned to her Putin saying China has historically not expanded beyond its borders, and she said that China fucks with Vietnam all the time, and they are looking to expand there. It was nice talking to someone who gets it on China. A lot of companies have pulled out of China and gone to Vietnam as labor is cheaper there which has pissed China off.

Peter Zeihan, the CIA backed futurist, has said the average Mexican worker is more productive than the Canadian one now and that Mexico is actually a lower cost producer than China. Thing is they are going to run into a demographic based problem as well, so they will be opening their doors to Central and South Americans. When we have this immigrant caravans coming in from Mexico, I would be shocked if they do not pluck off the most productive people and leave us with the scum. They should do that.

Thing is we restrict a lot of countries in the Americas from coming to the USA visa free. Oh yeah, the Salvadoran gangs can come and go, but the South American citizens with money and want to travel legally are put through hell. With most South American countries, Mexico allows them to come in visa free. Thing is when I would fly my women there if they did not have money or I was dumb enough not to give it to them, Mexico would not let them in, so I learned that lession. However, if you do have money, Mexico is like Hola Amigo! That is so much smarter than what we are doing.

And you know that stupid train to nowhere in California we spent billions on and they have laid like 10 miles of track. Well, Mexico has built high speed rail around the entire Yucutan Penisula in like the last two years. I have not ridden it but my gal and her daughter did and they loved it.

One of the many reasons the war on drugs is such a fucking joke is you can walk across the border and buy whatever drugs you want. There was a pharmacy I know that was selling Fentanyl and offered me a sample. LOL. It is so stupid. You can bring like a month supply of whatever controlled substance you want. American customs will ask if it is for personal use and when you say yes, they let you through and of course, Mexico do not have the opioid crisis we do. Anyone can buy safe drugs there at a pharmacy. For too many Americans, they have to buy their opioids on the street and do not know what they are getting.

Prohibition showed us the answer with alcohol is that you make it cheap, safe, and plentiful. People think opioids are different but they really are not. The same part of the brain light up with booze as they do with opioids at least in alcoholics, and the drugs used for opioid overdoses and use disorder, nalaxone and naltrexone, are used to treat alcoholism. Our government makes so many decisions based on drugs and so much money in the drug trade, I do not think they will ever be legal, and I kind of want that because if we did that, the Mexican cartels would no longer exist, and I think the Mexican drug cartels keep the Mexican government honest.

As long as the cartels have a say, there is going to be no banning of prostitution. Of all the countries I went to during the pandemic, the one with the most common sense laws was Mexico. They are not like the USA which will sacrifice any kind of fun for safety. I have had more fun there than any other country in the world. If the Mexican government gets too big for its britches, the cartels stand up to them. And when the cartels get out of control, the government steps in.

What cracks me up is people think China is so safe and Latin America is so dangerous. They gave the world Covid, you dumb asses. Then there is the crime in Mexico and the Latin nations right? As your links point out, the Latin nations are amateurs with stealing compared to China. While there are a billion Chinese, there are 600 million people in Latin America.

Why we are neglecting our Christian neighbors and putting all this money into Godless China is beyond me. I do not get it. I do not know what the USA needs that the Americas does not have. Do you?

Individuals who think I don't know my way around the global financial world should not take offense. I'm taking my advice about Bonds from Mr. Dimon. Not some [B]Internatinal Trick[/B] with a [I]import/export[/I] business whose favorite place to do business is Colombia. Did I also mention that he hires expensive prostitutes when he is there. He says only 8's and up. I wonder what that costs him. Lucky for his type he gets tax breaks to supplement the entertainment expenses he is allowed in the IRS Tax Code.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;3007037]While both Putin and Zelensky are both totally ignoring The Worst Negotiator and weakest 'man of peace' in history, the far smarter of the two whenever Trump has a meeting with anyone, the other person, in this case it was Zelensky, must have been stifling the biggest horse laugh of all time when that fat orange numbskull revealed himself to be the dumbest democracy-hating wannabe tin pot dictator on the planet with his grand pronouncement that Zelensky "has no cards"!

Lololol.
