  1. I wish there were a Step 1, 2, 3 to get rid of Putin (and Xi the next problem). Any ideas?

  2. Regarding Rent - In the 70ties the rent was roughly 5% of your monthy income at average. How much is it these days? 50-70%. It's unsustainable. And at the same time housing has become unaffordable. It's a downward spiral for society which is unsustainable. Society will choke itself with this.

  3. You know what CNN's diagram really says: "Crime were higher under Trump." EDIT: And this was even before Covid and people become more violent by more guns and being locked down. So it's even twice as remarkable how CNN manipulated the view.

  4. Just for the record: Woke = Being aware of social injustice (unfairness) and being against it

  5. The GOP needs to offer up a scapegoat, anyone ... because if not people might come to the idea the GOP is the problem.

  6. We should do an experiment and first say the meaning of woke without saying the word and then asking people if they like it or not. And then tell them "that is what woke is". The same works fantastically with socialism and it's policies as long as they not hear the word they are all for it. Both is evidence how efficient the brainwashing on the right-wing worked.

  7. It's obvious what she does ... #everythingforclicks ... even if you need to lie or exagerate for it ... or apply false equivalence

  8. Sometimes it feels like America is on the same learning curve Europe was exactly 100 years ago. I suggest America skips the hard way and just take some lessons from Europe.

  9. Racism is a symptom not the cause. Has anybody bothered to ask what they are actually afraid of? Maybe if you can alleviate the underlying fear you can subside the racism. Or is this all just the fear from the unknown? Being racist so you have an excuse for hateing someone? Maybe to cover up the hate over your own life and mistakes because hating others is easier than hating yourself? Maybe because hating others is an welcome excuse not to hate yourself?

  10. Well you had to live in the 60ties and 70ties to know how good America really was economically / socially (asside from some issues). Since the 80ties and Reagan all began to corrupt by money in politics. And now this cancer is almost fatal to America.

  11. Wait what?! The border force is trying to prevent an audit in their own finances and used 1.4 mio of tax payers money to a private law firm to prevent it? Why is it worth 1 mio to protect a secret? Extremly fishy. Further investigation warranted.

  12. Have you noticed that this rarly happens the other way around?

  13. I actually read a little about mail-in voting in this case in Pennsylvania. I know how it works in general: - You ask your local administration for registration and then need to apply for mail-in voting where they check that you are an US citizen, 18 year old, live in the state for at least 30 days and had not a felony conviction in the last 5 years. - They send it to you when it's time. - You make your cross and put it in the inner envelop. No names or signatures there so noone knows what you personally voted for. - You sign the form and put the form and the inner envelop in the outer envelop and send it back or drop it in the box. - They open the outer envelop and check your signature and registration and cross you off a list so you cannot send a 2nd one or someone else is voting with your credentials. - The inner envelop is securely stored and cannot be opened before 7PM on election day to be checked and counted. But although this system was pretty water-proof and there have only been a handful cases of mail-in voting fraud over decades they raised security even a little more. - Apparently you now also need to also bring Voter-ID when you want to register for voting and apply for mail-in voting - You can now follow your mail-in vote like a package-tracker on a website. Once they checked the outer envelop against the voter registry they put a barcode on it and feed it the computer. You can see that online to check if your vote was received and accepted for counting on election day. I find that quite reassuring to make sure everything was okay with the mail-in ballot, that it will be counted on election day and that they not remove your vote without you knowing or when they removed you from the registration list without your knowledge.

  14. "fewer" is an understatement ... 12 times less (that's 1200% less).

  15. The only "invasion" these local people see is an invasion of unhinged Maga.

  16. Rebel HQ is merely holding up a mirror. It's not their problem that you don't like what you see.

  17. DeSantis always needing people behind him becomes ridiculous. Now they even have to walk with him and still holding signs up.

  18. Small flaws: Arizonas Legislature and Senate is GOP lead Georgias Legislature and Senate is GOP lead even a GOP governor Come on Greene. You cannot even make two sentences without a lie or exageration.

  19. On what did AOC lie? (And I hope you realize that disagreement is not lying).

  20. Democrats calling out Democrats for being unfair. When was the last time Republicans called out their own party?

  21. My Definitions of Woke ... 1) Being Decent / Having Manners Speaks for itself. It's so simple and yet in large part missing and degrading in society. 2) Being Political Aware / Awake / "Woke" / The Opposit of Asleep Watching what politicians are doing, what decissions they do or don't do. How society reacts. What media does ... and not does. What happens around you / in the world. This is scares the hell out of almost all politicians but especially corrupt ones and Republicans. 3) Being Pro-Equality / Anti-Discrimination Being "Fair" and expecting "Fairness" from others. Same rights and privileges for all. Same responsibilites for all. Same punishments for all. Same rewards for all. Same rules for all. In short noone is worth more then others and noone is worth less then others.

  22. The best would be if the shop owner is a lefty offering overprized fan articles to Maga Folk. I mean why should only the orange one profit from their devotion.

  23. Do you know why secular people (atheists) tend to be more moral than religious people? Because religious people are forced by rules and the fear of punishment. However the punishment is either not happening or postphoned after death making this enforcement brittle. And some interpret the lack of punishment as encouragement by god making them justify unbelievable acts of cruelty and violence especially to non-believers or even people who break said rules.

  24. People should keep in mind that every dollar the IRS is not collecting from cheats and frauds has to be funded from loans and only increase the monthly interest payments the US has to pay (= pay even more taxes). The more the IRS collects the less likely you getting a tax rise. In fact if they would get all they could even lower taxes.

  25. Something has to be done to prevent that elected members of Congress are using the time only to campaign for the next election and not doing their job properly. It needs some kind of rulebook what your duties as a member of Congress are and if you neglect or break these rules without a good reason you need to be warned and if not changing behaviour lose your position. It should also define how much time you need to work and how the rules about side-jobs or private activies are so they not interfere with your duties.

  26. Write "10,000 million" next time ... looks more impressive.

  27. Your account is not even half a year old. It is clearly a troll or bot account. I wonder if someone would make a reverse IP search if you would end of up someone connected to the NRA or receiving money from them.

  28. Why does he says this? Because his voters wants to hear it! They prefer a comfortable lie over a hurting truth. All Republicans do. Fox does. Newsmax does. Fox is telling to judges they make entertainment not facts and giving someone comforting lies is exactly this.

  29. The "nuclear-family" was not as good as they think. This is part of the illussion we call "good old times". But were they so good? The model of the "nuclear family" is not even possible anymore since you need 2 or 3 jobs in a family to sustain it meaning both parents have to work which destroys the concept of the child-caring mother. See even there close-mindedness and misogyny baked in. Maybe the father wants to care and the mother would prefer to work. The solution would be to raise wages massively back again to 70ties level so one parent can feed a family with one job but tell that to corporate america. Most other problems families have to deal with come from this lack of money because money funds everything housing, living standard, abilties to deal with crisis and problems, education, childcare, elderly care/social care, decent living area, some luxuries, vacation and entertainment to not just work but life once in a while, etc. Divorce was harder or impossible and not treated well in society meaning the women could not easily leave again. This gave power to the men and in some families this was exploited, women become slaves disguised under the name "housewife". And sometimes even domestic violence, rape, child abuse all disguised under "marrigage" and "family matters" and the police rarly get involved because it was considered a "family problem". The greed of already rich people and corporations destroys family life and the so called "nuclear family" together with misconceptions about family and biggotted and powerhungry losers who need to be king somewhere and decide to excert that power at least in their family.

  30. Taxes are mandatory charity. Intended specifically for the greedy a-holes who do not want to share which for some strange reason happens more often the more you have. So keep the charity ... pay fair taxes!

  31. Free School Lunches are also not expensive to fund. The PPP Loanforgiveness to 10 of the top receivers would probably last all kids in America for 5 years to eat.

  32. Were his uncle, parents or grandparents Nazis? They all left Germany once the cleansing and the Nuremberg Trials began. Some to America, some to South-America, some to Africa.

  33. 1) Humans are tribal 2) In times of problems or crisis the tribe shrinks. I know ... greatly simplified by this is what this boils down to. I would maybe add one other point. 3) Humans are afraid of the unknown because our genes tell us what you don't know might kill you.

  34. She sounds like MTG but even less focused. She touches several different topics with a grain of truth (e.g. yes there is a 2-Tier justice system but it works for Trump and the Establishment) in them but completly distorted and trying to make one big conspiracy theory out of it without any logic or reason to it just spouting talking point after talking point. I really wonder why she is in Congress, she is not fit for office. And now she gets dangerous.

  35. It's almost a wonder that Biden actually won the 2020 election if you enlist all the efforts the push the election in Trumps favor. And this is why Republicans are so scared. Once the Democrats get into power they can reset the rules for elections and the gerrymandering to normal ... and Republicans will properly never win again.

  36. What they should do? Time to wake up. Find something better to do, something you like, someone more worthy of your loyalty and support. Someone who wants to bring the country really forward and not doing it for himself.

  37. I'm not angry at Maga. I think it's sad and I pity them. I would wanne help them. I don't think they are bad people mostly but they fallen so deep in a rabbit hole they cannot get out anymore. If I had power I would ban their sources of information like ending the broadcasting licence of Fox and Co. I think if they are exposed to the truth for a while they may start to see clearly again. But this is not enough these people need mental help as well and probably for their life as well.

  38. The subscribers of Mrs. Conspiracy probably watch her without the sound enabled. Pretending this is a date and she is intimately talking to them.
    5
  39. And there at 2:55 is the next issue, ignorance about "How are laws made". People think the president/governernor can do everything ("One person can do a lot of things"). Congress is doing the laws and you need to convince quite a lot of people to pass anything. The president/governor is only signing it.

  40. Imagine the US Tax Payer who pays for the research of new pharmaceuticals would keep the patents in public hand and just license drugs to private industry. This could actually generate money for the tax payer. Taxes in other areas could be reduced. The public hand could even force companies to certain prices ... or they risk losing the license.

  41. To stay in context: Maybe Jack Smith is the Archangle send to punish the sinner called Trump.

  42. What angers me is that these GOP supporters make such easy prey for this practise. They cannot defend themselves against the deceiving statements. Just tell them things they like and pretend to care and voilá they shower you in money.

  43. No mate. These are daddy issues reaching much further into the past. The whole family is only hold together by money.

  44. I watch a lot of left-leaning US media for years. There was never the talk of abandoning democracy in America and considering some form of communism. It's fundamentally incompatible with the American constitution. On the other hand I constantly hear from the right talks of dictatorship and ending democracy and ideas which would make Trump King in all but name. Also the idea to have only one party (the GOP) in America. Communism is a one party system. So who are the wannebe-communists here?

  45. People who learn to devalue other people can eventually devalue everyone. Colleges, friends, family, parents. You really think once they "dealt" with immigrants they stop? This will go on and on and eventually just disagreeing with them gets you pushed out.

  46. It's called Projection - when sociopaths think everyone else is like them and accuse everyone else doing what they think and do to justify it.

  47. It's not the same. This is age-related.

  48. Doesn't it make it super-simple for everyone? 1) Sex: There are 3 sexes. It's genetic, it's scientific, you are born with it. You can see/measure it. 2) Gender: An emotion, how you feel and it's a spectrum. And it can change over time and even with partner. And questions? No? Fine then we can move on. There are much more important problems out there.

  49. Fascinating statement.

  50. I don't care which side is not telling the truth I want the misinformations gone. They seeding discord, division over falsehoods and eroding trust a foundation of society.
