Every day America is shredded a little more and will take far more to rebuild than to tear down…at some point the cancer will end any hope of a return to any form of functioning democracy. @Mulchavelli3 days agoDOGE did achieve their goals just not their stated goals.

Cull Fake Democrats
These fake dems will regret this and hopefully be replaced. Very disappointed in Ted Lieu and Eugene Vindman, and several other better-known democrats. When the best places to live on planet Earth, those “Nordic Model” mixed economies, are essentially socialist with all the things America does not have (universal healthcare, free tuition, high taxes onContinue reading “Cull Fake Democrats”
Freedom is NOT Greed
“The only concrete proposal he provides is to get rid of billionaires—or, rather, their billions, suggesting that an individual’s net worth be capped at $500 million: “there’s no reason we as a society have to put up with the continued existence of billionaires,” who he argues help “fringe philosophies” thrive.” I have to absolutely andContinue reading “Freedom is NOT Greed”
SpaceNews 1
Mr Slippery8 hours ago All this pro-Isaacman commentary seems to ignore the fact that if he had been confirmed it would have been his job to carry out all of Trump’s massive cuts to NASA science.

We are kept stupid because billionaires want to keep the age-old pyramid of wealth forever concentrating upward toContinue reading “Legal Tax Evasion For The Rich”
Us vs Them or Each Against All
More confused everyday. I thought “Woke” just meant to be aware of white supremacist policies and worldviews affecting society. Now Chris is telling me, no, it is bad. Some on the left seem to be defecting to the right (not Chris). I was all in for Harris and now….after listening to Thomas Frank I seemContinue reading “Us vs Them or Each Against All”

This Is Not The End Of History, This Is The End Of America
11:40 “American power is still the most dynamic force in the world game – powers, great powers don’t fall because of military defeats or economic defeats, they fall because of psychological defeats.” 12:20 “The loss of cohesion, of solidarity, of values, that hold together a society in a common goal – this brings us toContinue reading “This Is Not The End Of History, This Is The End Of America”
