  1.  @The_king567  Leaving the White House was conceding. If he really believed that he won, he would not have left.

  2.  @jc3drums916  And ALL of the prosecutions are falling apart because of prosecutorial misconduct. And funny how you obsess about Jan 6th, but blatantly ignore the May 29 riot that resulted in St. John's Cathedral being burned. Where was the investigation for that Democrat instigated acts of violence and arson?

  3.  @captainvanisher988  Don't forget that Ashli Babbitt, one of the protestors was murdered in cold blood by capitol police.

  4. Funny, because Putin didn't steal Crimea while Trump was in office, nor did he invade Ukraine. Both of those happened while Biden was directing America's foreign policy.

  5. And Glass-Stegal was put in place to prevent it. That was until the Dodd-Frank bill demlished those protections.

  6. You bring a very good point. While the West WOULD respond with an overwhelming retaliatory stroke should a member of NATO (or even a non-NATO neutral like Switzerland or Austria) was nuked, how would the west respond to nukes in the Ukraine? Hard to say. For my own opinion, I would issue Putin the "Potsdam Ultimatum": immediately disarm and cease all hostilities, or as Harry Truman said, face a firestorm of utter destruction from heaven.

  7. The problem is that MAD was always an idealist's dream. It only works with rational people who place a high priority on survival. It is completely worthless against a man with nothing to lose or religious zealots who believe that widespread destruction is their divinely mandated goal.

  8. Venezuela did that. How did it work out for them?

  9.  @20quid  So when are the indictments against every sitting member of congress and EVERY former president going to come? Never? Then it is clearly political persecution much like what Alexander Lushenko of Belarus does.

  10.  @alechorn1109  The think is, neither of those situations are actually crimes. This is all procedural, not principle.

  11. WRONG. It was Dodd- Frank bill repealing the Glass-Stegal Act protections put in place to prevent another Great Depression. Orange Man is NOT responsible for it, the people currently in the White House who orchestrated the 2008 collapse are who is to blame.
    1
  12. Agreed. Government intervention is only prolonging the agony and rewarding the people responsible.

  13. You don't seem to understand do you? When the right becomes unfettered, they will NOT play with kid gloves like they did on Jan 6th. They will go Cliven Bundy Ranch on steroids.

  14.  @vinniechan  The regional banks have been absorbed by the bigger banks. That was the result of the Feds bailing out Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers. And all of this was precipitated by the Dodd-Frank Bill which completely repealed the Glass-Stegal protections put in place during the Great Depression to prevent another one.
    1
  15. And the people responsible for the 2008 crisis are the same people who orchestrated this collapse. The Feds need to stop bailing these people out.

  16. If that happens, expect Columbia to become Venezuela 2.0

  17.  @leftistadvocate9718  Bolivia is just 10 years behind Venezuela. Make no mistake, Bolivia is well on its way to where Venezuela is now. And for all of his flaws, Pinochet was far better than any Marxist-Leninist leader.

  18.  @leftistadvocate9718  More historical snobbery. Just because you THINK things will be different doesn't mean they will. "No True Scotsman" is a fallacy that people like you constantly use because the hard objective facts prove you wrong.
    1
  19.  @leftistadvocate9718  It is ALWAYS the same with Marxists. They ALWAYS claim it will be different, but when they get into power, they implement the EXACT same policies, and the results are always the same. The problem is that the ideology is fatally flawed and there is no way to fix it or "do it better". One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting the same result. Hence, "No true Scotsman" fallacy.

  20. That is what drove the shale oil revolution. Ask yourself why Shale oil is more productive than solar.

  21. Nelson Mandel was in prions before holding office.

  22. @A B That is not how the law works, dude. You can only get the RICO statute to stick with federal felonies, not state misdemeanor crimes.

  23. Indeed. The so-called "experts" always claim that inflation is good, and deflation is bad. But that is only the case if you are a banker or market and currency manipulator who games and extracts from the system without producing anything of value. Reality is, deflationary periods are actually the markets and the system correcting for artificial inflation and speculators pumping and dumping the system. To avoid huge deflationary depressions and recessions means more fiscal control and less inflationary policies during good times. Less government controls on the economy, particularly rejecting "quantitative easing" will do more to curb the highs and lows than the gas-break-gas-break policies of technocrats.

  24.  @rcbrascan  I'm sorry but China cannot claim to be a "developing country" when they have been leading in manufacturing for the last 20 years. They are no longer developing and are instead a fully developed country when they are fielding 5th generation interceptor fighter craft. They are not longer a developing country when they are in a position to pass in the US in creating AI technology. It is time to stop pretending that China should get special treatment just because they were at one time behind everyone else. Japan and South Korea have not been considered "developing countries" since the 80s. When China is in direct competition economically with those two nations, it has fully matured into a modern developed country.

  25. Wow, wrong on so many levels. if what you are saying is true, Kiev would have fallen in the first three days. The fact is, Central and Western Ukraine will never again fall under the sway of Russia.

  26.  @tombuilder1475  And how many countries have the Democrats attacked? Libya, Syria, and Serbia just to name a few.

  27.  @prasantpandey4057  What country ever championed the Klu Klux Klan? You are totally out of touch with reality, simply vomiting word salad because you THINK you know what those words mean.

  28. They also ignore that the Shale Oil revolution came about because of higher oil prices. And Shale oil swallows up any potential that green advocates claim will come their way.

  29. Yeah, the energy crunch proves that renewables are a pipe dream.

  30. Nelson Mandela served time in prison before becoming president of South Africa. So did the president of Brazil.

  31. Well, and MAD doesn't take into account lose nukes or madmen with nothing to lose. MAD is predicated on survival of the state or ideology. Religious zealots don't particularly care about survival if mass destruction is their goal.

  32.  @darmorel549  I am going to stop you on the ecological damage. The Pripyat area has seen an unexpected resurgence and recovery DESPITE the radioactive contamination. It was merely the removal of humans that allow such an ecological recovery to occur. Secondly, nuclear weapons don't leave nearly the amount of radioactive fallout that a reactor accident creates. A properly configured weapon will consume nearly all if not all of the radioactive material in the detonation; the radioactive by-products of the explosion tend to be the short-lived rather than medium- and long-term type. Further, Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been rebuilt and repopulated a mere 30 years after getting nuked as contrasted with the 200-year uninhabitability initially assumed. Even the Bikini Atoll test site today is not nearly as contaminated as original projections forecast, and that is with the unexpectedly large detonation of Castle Bravo. So, while I am in agreement with your anthropological assessment about how devastating it would be to the global economy, your environmental assessment needs re-evaluation.

  33. Grover Cleaveland vs. Benjamin Harrison rematch of 1892. Trump WILL repeat Cleavland's feat of getting re-elected after being defeated. And it will be due to the very same reasons why Cleaveland won after loosing.

  34.  @Polygon-po6wf  It is mind boggling how many people thin ANY politician or elected official cares about the country. It is mind numbing how many people continue to support people who purposely gut the US to line their own pockets then complain when someone like Trump comes along and actually TRIES to work the problem and find a solution.

  35.  @TiggerTheRed  If that were true, how come Trump got MORE votes in 2020 than he did in 2016? You have no clue about what the American electorate thinks.

  36. And in the mid 1990s they were less than $1 a gallon. Hell, back in 2018 it was hovering around $2. "Never settle for less than you deserve. Demand the best, accept nothing less.” -Thomas Morton.

  37. Iceland did that to disastrous results.

  38.  @antoinefdu  No, the US did not. Free markets would me no bailouts EVER. The fact that there have been numerous bailouts means that they were NEVER allowed to fail as they should in an actual free market.

  39.  @antoinefdu  Again, that is only possible with government intervention at which it is not in any way resembles capitalism. At that point it resembles communist central control and planning. Laissez-faire capitalism REQUIRES such "too big to fail" institutions to implode under their own weight with the resulting consequences being part of the system correcting itself.

  40.  @DrSpooglemon  Tells you much doesn't it? The longer we put off the deflationary correction, the worse it is going to be when it finally hits.

  41.  @ivrearde3236  How many times must it be repeated? "The present tax codes inhibit the mobility and formation of capital, add complexities and inequities which undermine the morale of the taxpayer, and make tax avoidance rather than market factors a prime consideration in too many economic decisions." -John F. Kennedy

  42.  @chinguunerdenebadrakh7022  So you are saying that every time the left goes out to "protest" it is an insurrection because people are murdered by the mob and arson is committed. St. John's Chruch arson during the BLM riots of May 29th, 2016.

  43. Because much like has been the case in history, those in power refuse to let go of it. They are like drug addicts.

  44. I hope the CCP is paying you well for your shilling.

  45.  @bachelor3846  Actually, there ARE institutional restrictions on the use of nuclear weapons. Anyone who has handled nuclear authorization codes will tell you that they are OCD when it comes to following protocol. Even a known test exercise with nuclear dummy rounds is treated with an almost fatalistic-religious reverence to said protocol.

  46. Calling someone you disagree with Hitler is the Goodwin Fallacy. It doesn't make your argument; it actually discredits it.

  47.  @victoriahaque5519  And yet Putin regularly murders Russian dissidents in London. Alexander Litvinenko ring a bell to you? How about Sergei and Yulia Skripal? If Putin and Russia took the Uk's nuclear threat seriously, they would not be so brazen as to use such exotic poisons to murder people on British soil.

  48.  @Cibershadow2  Sounds to me like you have Sour Grapes. The world was MUCH safer under Trump. That is an undisputable FACT that you cannot deny.

  50. Indeed. The Uyqers are in bed with the Taliban (East Turkmenistan movement is an internationally recognized terrorist organization), but the Red Chinese government is just as abominable. it is like choosing between the Soviets and the Nazis. Best choice is to simply back away quietly and wash your hands of the whole affair.
