  16.  @zachthamm9595  True, but I think it goes further than just blue collar who only vote on a couple of very narrow points. I went to U.Illinois an one of my frat brothers was from Alton, just across the river from St. Louis. I recently saw an Episode of "Abandoned" about St. Louis. St. Louis has gone form the heydays of the late 80s early 90s where it had a population over 650,000, was growing and had major manufacturing plants for companies like McDonnel Douglas to the current state of about 300,000 and has fire sales where they sell entire schools (as in the buildings and land). How the fuck does a city that once held the Olympics fall so far? And its not the only one, we all know about Detroit and other places. Then there is the Opioid Crisis. Seriously the Sackler's thought they could sell an Opioid that wasn't addictive, when every other opioid is addictive. I Saw this recently and its shameful -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG0nqRXLDOg Watch this if you have time if you don't at least watch the part after 52:40 where Richard Wolff uses West Virginia as an example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g1aMsDYJCc Its still freakish to hear a Marxist justify that those people were voting in their best interest with Trump. This is where the monumental problem actually is. Everybody on the other side simply dismissed these people and let Trump radicalize them so far that they now do what they do. So what does America do with them? These aren't 74million radicalized Muslims in another country with Ak47s. These are 74million radicalized well armed Americans inside America with a giant stockpile of ammunition.

  20. I'm Australian, I went to college in America (U. Illinois) and was working in Canada 3 years ago. About 10 years ago after a couple of medical scandals we looked at other nations and investigated America, Canada and Britain to name a few. So not only have I personnel experience with the American system Australia has done the research into other health care systems. If we add up the populations of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin its 25.2 million compared to Australia's 25.6. Yes there is massive differences in geographical size and population density. The winters are very different. BUT the medical technology, education, manufacturing capability and transportation are near identical. Australia has 909 COVID fatalities while Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin have 33,435 COVID fatalities. (sourced -> https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) In just the last 7 days (4-1 thru 10-1-2021) just Illinois with less than half the population of Australia has had 971 fatalities. Illinois is a Blue Democrat State and the Country has been run by Red Republicans so neither side can blame the other for this tragedy. I can personally testify that the people of those states are mostly decent, honest and hard working. They don't deserve this. I am currently in the city of Brisbane. We just came out of a 3 day lockdown because of 2 cases of the new British strain turned up and they don't how how 1 of those people got it. There is now mandatory mask wearing in all public places along with enforced distancing regulations until the 20th. That's just while they work out how we got 2 cases of the British Strain!!! Australia *DOESN'T have some magic Kangaroo juice or any other magic medical technology. Our leaders have their flaws and they do make mistakes. So how else can anyone explain what has happened in places like Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin other than a catastrophic failure of leadership?

  22. Better question: What have they (the Trump side) claimed that Hilary actually did that she needed to be jailed for? I'm no Hilary fan and I've heard Kyle repeatedly mention Libya and Iraq but if the world was to start prosecuting politicians and their staffers and the MIC executives and the MIC private contractors for war crimes then we'd actually need to start a moon base or simply take over a massive slab of the planet somewhere, because there is not a single prison anywhere that can hold that many people. That's not to say we should not pursue these people. Half the reason Libya ad Iraq and Afghanistan were the disasters they were was because NOBODY AT THE POLITICAL LEVEL among Western nations was never held accountable FOR ANYTHING since the Nuremberg Trials. Sure a few Yugoslavs and African leaders were charged with crimes but WHO out of the Western Political system ever got held accountable? I'm Australian and do ANY OF YOU realise that John Howard the Prime Minister who signed us up to Iraq is a Lawyer who just seemed to conveniently forget all that he had learned about international law. How about Tony Blair who was the British Prime Minister at the time. He's also a lawyer as is his wife who is actually a notable human rights lawyer. Cherie Blair actually came to Australia to argue a human right case and was told to FK-OFF until she sorted her husbands crap out. On the "lawyers who should have known better" the Gold Medal performance goes to John Yoo. He was the clown who wrote the memos that allowed water boarding and stress positions as part of the "Enhanced Interrogation" program. You remember that stuff everyone else calls torture. The federalist Society even gave him an award for his service. He's now a tenured professor teaching law at US Berkley. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Yoo

  25. Somebody needs to ask Mark Levin the following Question: When did BLM, ANTIFA, Democrats, 1960s counter culture hippies, tree hugging Kumbaya singing environmentalists, Occupy Wall Street, Lafayette Park or any other protesters storm the capitol, kill a police officer, tear down the American flag and replace it with another flag? For anyone interested please feel free to copy that question and post it anywhere you like. Someone else first directed me to this quote by Vice POTUS Wallace, who was alive when Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin were in power to personally see what those sorts of people are like. the 2 highlights about method and patriotism are mine. Henry A. Wallace, Vice President of the United States in the New York Times, April 9, 1944 “The really dangerous American fascist... is the man who wants to do in the United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information. With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power... They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest. Their final objective, toward which all their deceit is directed, is to capture political power so that, using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection.”

  29.  @whatsername123  If you've watched a few of Glenn's recent videos on the stuff that's been surfacing its getting worse and I would suspect that even Jim Comey will be changing his assessment shortly because I do agree with Glenn. Trump and others need to be charged and prosecuted and sent to jail. BUT I would guess Comey would also want it to be quick and simple and with very little spotlight. I personally think Comey is broad thinker who looks ahead at the potential outcomes. If you consider some of the alternative outcomes in 2016 with him coming out and saying they found more emails. There's a Russian commentator Masha Gessen and Masha was interviewed on the Australian show "Planet America" and asked about Putin and interference in 2016. The assessment was interesting. Putin is NOT the strategic mastermind most people think. He's pretty smart and very ruthless but he's not the mastermind Sun Tzu type strategist. In Putin's brain elections are decided well in advance and the outcome is assured well in advance, because that's his experience with Russian democracy. So Putin expected Hilary to win and win easily and if that's basically true then what was he really up to. That gets to an interesting conclusion. Putin hates Clinton as she was instrumental in the sanctions against Russia. its pretty simple he expected Clinton to win and he wanted her at war with the Republican controlled House and Senate. Just imagine if Comey had kept quiet and Hilary had won and then after the election it came out that there were other emails and they kept it quiet. Just imagine how the conspiracy nutters and rest of the Republicans would have responded. Imagine how Trump would have responded. They would have screamed "collusion" they would have screamed about how the head of the FBI covered up. It would have been the Salem witch trials all over again. They would have impeached Clinton and Comey and thrown them in jail. I personally have no doubt Comey made the right call. As bad as it was the alternative could have been far worse and considering what Putin wanted a Clinton White house would have been a disaster. What Putin didn't plan on was that Comey would do the right thing because in Putin's world people in those positions are loyal or dead. What he got instead was the Trump WH and that's been almost as destructive on America. American politics gave Putin a win win 2016 and a repeat win win in 2020.
