Two bad apples, doesn't make ,,,, ,,,, ,,,,

 

 

 

But they'd be good apples IF Harris/Walz won and they supported Harris/Walz. Again, it just boils down to orange man bad because bad. 

 

Seems they're donating a million each to Trump's inauguration. For the 75 million who voted Trump into office to implement the Republican campaign agenda he ran on, the apples who help Trump are good apples. 

 

Are we about done with this silly discussion?

So you’re one of those that turns on the tv and believes everything that is spewing out? X is a media outlet of various types, no different than the television except it doesn’t restrain people from speaking their minds, much of what you are doing here. 

I think you are misunderstanding what I wrote. I was talking about the MSM lying by omission and distortion. The point is that on X if someone lies, omits, or is disingenuous, likely someone will call them out on it.

Obviously, a woman is not made for Usa yet, and sorry to say, the bad apples spreads like a pest with politicians who lost contact with the people, the working class and the poor.

 

How many voters living below the poverty line in USA?

There are good kings and bad kings. There might be a hype now because of the 2 erratic buddies. Wouldn't last long.

If the Dems want to stand any chance in 2028 they will have to choose a middle class, middle-aged white male, married to a woman, have a family, attend church and a squeaky clean background.

So then we agree that it's fortunate that a pro-business admin is coming in again with a populist base more likely to turnaround the social and economic mess created during the last 4 years. Yes, you can go back to Woodrow Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson and the Great Society, Obama the Divider In Chief, etc. Hegel, Kant, Marx? I doubt you know anything about the roots and history of the decline that I don't. But historical discussions can be found elsewhere.

I just find it to easy to blaim the 4 last years only, I would say it started long time before.

 

As long a country developer, people are happy to make money, get roof above their head, and food on table, but there comes a time, where those things doesn't matter anymore, that's when things starts to get difficult

Wait.

 

WHO does NOT realize this?

Luigi?  His followers?

 

We have long known that it is those with power, large corporations, and individuals with wealth who make the laws.

Even the lawmakers who pass the laws have no time to actually read the legislation that they are signing into law.

 

Who does not know this, in this day and age?

 

Note: When in doubt concerning what is happening in this world, and when we suspect that injustice is being done, my best advice to everyone is to just listen to my friend, and yours, Noam Chomsky.

 

Chomsky advocates reading, and reading some more, and then still more, in order to become informed enough to know when one, or society as a whole,  is being screwed and treated unfairly.

 

Chomsky does not advocate violence.  However, he understands that violence is sometimes the inevitable result of being screwed, and screwed again, and screwed without end, that can suddenly and unexpectedly cause violence and push-back.   After all, we have seen this happen periodically in France, from time to time.  And, Don't Think "It Can't Happen Here", either revolt or fascism.

Yep, there comes a time when the elites decide that what matters is tampons in men's bathrooms, never mind the inflation, border, drugs, homelessness, and crime. Things did then get difficult for them, but they haven't yet figured out why.

 

 

Sky New really should interview some of our authoritative ANF lefties known for their self-proclaimed high intelligence, esp. in comparison to those idiots Trump, Musk, Vivek, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Altman. Perhaps send in videos? Post on TikTok and send the link?

@naval on X weighed in and Musk himself responded.

Musk can afford to lose money on X, with what he has made on Tesla.

 

It's his toy to preach to the converted. As another poster has said, X lost 33% of its users.

 

How does it make him more powerful? It's the money he funneled to Trump that achieved more power.

Spoken from an American? Dude grow some.

Once there where hippies destroying the world, before that commies, there will always be stupid gullies interrupting societies, and power who willing to execute power on those lost souls, and create a stirr up. 

 

Idiocy at both ends, very often post wars and distraction becomes destruction

It's not hard to understand if one looks at readily available data.

 

The Russian population is 144 million. It has 120 billionaires.

 

America has a population of 330 million. It has 801 billionaires.

 

The combined wealth of Zuckerberg, Gates, Buffett, Musk and Bezos is approximately $1.1 trillion. Russian oligarchs are pikers in comparison.

 

As Lord Acton said, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The same could be said of money.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if Bluesky becomes huge.  Because lefties can't stand a venue that allows divergent points of view.  So they'd naturally gravitate toward Bluesky.  Because echo chambers are comfortable for some.
