  1. it all falls in line with the prosperity gospel. financial "success," wealth and power are rewards from god. it goes all the way back over 6000 years to the "divine-right-of-kings." a belief john locke obliterated in 1690 in his First Treatise of Government. the capitalists used smith's "wealth of nations" to keep the lie alive as did the industrialist of the gilded age and the fascists in the 20th century calling it "social-darwinism." (stalin and mao were both fascists by the way, regardless of what they called themselves.) the philosophy goes - anyone with the cunning and ambition to obtain wealth and power deserves to rule because their achievement was a demonstration of natural superiority or ordained by god. the elite use this rationale even today. i heard oprah winfrey say, on air, during one of her shows that god chose her to become rich because she was so much wiser and deserving than others. this is extreme narcissism and megalomania; a mental disease that seems to inflict ALL the elite. they all believe they're superior to the rest of humanity and in fact THE OPPOSITE is true. capitalism allows the most predatory, the most devious and unethical, thus the least deserving, to prosper. when was the last time you heard of anyone getting rich from generosity or compassion?

  2. its exactly the kind of god they believe in! one that doesn't care about your morals, your greed, your lies or your corruption in your daily life. they believe JUST believing in their god will get them into paradise! this is the teaching of Paul the apostle. there are Christian churches, right now, that teach WEALTH is reward from god and the richer you is an indication that you're following the word of god. and sadly, there are poor suckers who believe these lies and contribute to the wealth of these religious hucksters.

  3. not only barr but the entire GOP congressional "leadership" are now culpable and willing participants in "obstruction of justice" and covering up trump's crimes. barr was just charged with contempt of congress but guess what? its barr and HIS DOJ who enforce those charges. so now, trump, his staff, barr and the GOP congressional leadership are just doing whatever the hell they want. the constitution, the law and subpoenas be damned. and the spineless dem "leadership" just denied YET ANOTHER impeachment process just this week! just what the hell is going on HERE? WHERE'S OUR GODDAMNED GOVT?

  4. the problem here is the lie that "individualism" and "collectivism" are mutually exclusive. THEY AREN'T! its perfectly possible to protect individual rights while maintaing a functioning society that benefits the whole. in fact, you CAN'T maintain a system that benefits all of society without protecting the rights of the indivual. individual rights DOES benefit society. its not an either/or scenerio but a BOTH scenerio. you can't have one without the other.

  5. capitalism is just a repackaging of feudalism and vice versa. there's actually no REAL difference between the 2. they both enslave the people for the benefit of the elite. and the sooner we do away with and reject silly, irrelevant distinctions and look at the big picture the sooner we'll SEE and UNDERSTAND the truth. civilization brought us the elite, fascism, authoritarianism, greed, corruption, slavery, poverty, prejudice, war AND capitalism. civilization was an elitist invention designed to solidify, enforce and perpetuate elitist power and control over humanity. and its done just that over the last 6000 years!
    24
  6. one problem is that we have people promoting and perpetuating the lie that the soviets and Chinese were and are socialists. THEY WEREN'T - not even close. we got morons propagating the lie that the Nazi's were socialist! I just responded to a moron who said corporatism is socialism! yet all these same people support and defend precisely what their complaining about. they defend the elite, the accumulation of wealth, strong govt in the form of "tough-guy" leaders. their misrepresenting themselves and the anti-fascists who see through them and oppose them! they're purposely causing confusion and divisions so the elite maintain power! its called "fire-hosing" and this is just a PART of the "newspeak" and corruption we're up against. how do you fight a lie when people haven't the intelligence, the education or insight to recognize a lie?
    22
  7. actually the U'S. ranks very low on the social indexes; including infant mortality, medical care, environmental protections, hunger, poverty, homelessness, water purity, vacation time, etc, and we rank the highest in prison population, CEO pay, work hours and stress and anxiety. and all this insanity began back with Reagan and has just exacerbated in the ensuing years and decades. trump is the latest symptom of the insanity of Reagan.
    22
  8. trump also has the tendency to make everything about him. in a recent interview I heard the interviewer ask him about the need to break up mega-corporations like google, Microsoft and facebook and trump's response was - they sure don't like me that's for sure. he also has a inferiority complex that he over compensates for. I've never heard ANY "president" declare themselves the GREATEST president ever. but trump does this, it seems, at the end of almost every tweet! trump's a walking example of psychological pathology. lastly - he ISN'T the legal president. so please stop calling that. he's the present occupant of the white house but he isn't the legal occupant. he's just a squatter. we have NO president right now and no functioning govt.
    20
  9. you know, you can be the cause and the symptom at the same. and that's trump, both a symptom of a sick society and a contributor to it.
    20
  10. dictator trump. now there's a scary as hell thought. you must ask, what on earth is compelling such loyalty to such a low-life like trump? when trump tells these people to break the law and ignore subpoenas they don't have to do as he says. for some strange and very dangerous reason these idiots are loyal to this gangster-doofus regardless of their sworn oaths to uphold the constitution and federal law. Pelosi and many democrats are just as spineless as the GOP. trump's election itself was illegal but the dems readily started calling this buffoon president on day one because to challenge the legitimacy of trump's claim to the office would require the dems to expose their own crimes. its like putin and the Russians gave trump dirt on all of them and trump's blackmailing them into submission. in order to bring trump to justice all of these people will have to expose crimes in their past they don't want exposed. nothing else explains all this unfounded loyalty and refusal to act as the law requires.

  11.  jfsfrnd  … I don't think 80% of the American people backed the Nazis but 80% of the american elite did. they admired hitler's iron fisted control over the entire german populace. they wanted, and now have, the same authoritarian control over American society. many U. S. corporations contributed to and profited from hitler's war machine and death camps.
    19
  12. you're right, this isn't trump. but trump has given them, YET, another excuse to take it a few steps further. and the democrats know the GOP is committing these crimes but continually let them get away with it over the last 50 years.
    18
  13. actually they got al Capone on tax fraud. dillinger was killed in the street while leaving a movie theater after being "betrayed" by the lady in red.
    17
  14. YES... actions speak louder than words. anyone can say good things but putting good words and thoughts into action is the ONLY way to make a better world. as far as i'm concerned apathy is just as much an evil as any direct act of evil. and apathy is rampant in this country right now! so many people seem know what's needed to establish justice but are unwilling to do it!
    17
  15. most Hispanics are caucasians. only a few are native anericans. most of them are of Spanish decent. that's what the word "hispanic" means.
    16
  16.  jfsfrnd  … that's funny. sometimes I think it was big bad Nancy Reagan who was the covert mastermind of the Reagan administration. and andy is right, he called her "mommy" not mother. I think that's even more twisted.
    16
  17. voting is no guarantee in removing this moron. he didn't win the first election. the American and Russian oligarchs put him in the white house. so what makes you think the next election will be any more legitimate? the dems have introduced election reform legislation but the GOP keeps blocking it. so I don't see anything but a repeat of corruption of 2016 to occur in 2020. and if the dems select biden to run against trump, we're all screwed.
    16
  18. this is what i've been saying since the impeachment inquiry began. they MUST included ALL illegal and impeachable acts committed by trump over the last 5 YEARS! does anyone remember the Nearly 800 former federal prosecutors who signed a petition saying they would've charged Trump with obstruction based on the Mueller report? trump is doing the exact same thing during the impeachment inquiry. and obstruction is an impeachable offense. why doesn't anyone bring this up? the GOP are SO proud to be defending the biggest criminal to ever steal the white house. and collins and gaetz were absolutely deplorable during today's hearing. the GOP has lost ALL impartiality, integrity and honor. its become one of the most corrupt, criminal and unAmerican organizations in the country!
    15
  19. you kidding. i'm on medicare - FULL MEDICARE - and i'm still denied medical care on a regular basis. medicare is practically 100% privatized now. corporate medical and insurance porofits are astronomical. just YESTERDAY i tried to contact medicare directly to complain. there IS NO medicare outside of private companies contracted to administer it. medicare, like foodstamps, is all one HUGE bureacratic mess designed to be impossible to navigate. designed so passing-the buck is SOP and no one is responible for ANYTHING!
    15
  20. laugh at him? you know what would be really cool? a sting operation, like "to catch a predator." announce trump the winner and when he returns to be reinstated ARREST HIM! now THAT'S COMEDY! that's a trump show i'd love to watch!

  21. it all falls in line with the prosperity gospel. financial "success," wealth and power are rewards from god. it goes all the way back over 6000 years to the "divine-right-of-kings." a belief john locke obliterated in 1690 in his First Treatise of Government. the capitalists used smith's "wealth of nations" to keep the lie alive as did the industrialist of the gilded age and the fascists in the 20th century calling it "social-darwinism."

  22. there's nothing wrong with the 13 star flag. but our flag shouldn't be for sale and used for profiteering enterprises. but only in the U. S. is a damned stupid piece of cloth more important than what that piece of cloth is supposed to represent. screw the flag, the screw the fascist states of America, screw the corporate, elitist states of America and SCREW TRUMP! who, his entire life, has represented the anthesis of what MY country is supposed to stand for. screw the spineless democratic party, screw the fascist GOP, screw the elitist gay lobby that, with its BS "trans-gender fascism," has done as much to divide this country as the NRA and the evangelicals. screw the anti-abortion bigots, the pro-poverty morons, the profit-over-people twits and the ant-labor idiots and the millionaire labor leaders. screw the big business AND the big govt advocates and those on both sides who sit back and do NOTHING as the police-state tightens its strangle-hold on humanity. and screw the climate-change deniers as environmental disaster looms ever nearer. is there really anything to proud of in this country anymore! I WANT SANITY TO RETURN and I WANT MY FREEDOM!
    13
  23. humanity has been ruled by its top predators for over 6000 years. as such, we've been ruled from the gutter for over 6000 years. i'm damned tired of being ruled by the WORST humanity has to offer. and its good to hear dr wolff say that germany and italy took a turn to the RIGHT during the '30's. he was refering to the fascism that overtook their countries led by hitler and mussolini respectively. for a few decades now the fascists have been fire-hosing the lie that fascism is a left wing, "socialist" ideology. and uneducated fascist yokels are buying this lie and spreading it all over the internet. i encounter this lie 4 or 5 times a week just on youtube. this is just one of the delusional aspects of modern fascism. they're successfully re-defining common words in the minds of blind, ignorant people to misrepresent themselves and their goals. just how do you fight the constant barrage of lies being strewn about by unscrupulous and unconscionable people?
    13
  24. trump's business model and main source of income is from lawsuits. he screws people out of what he owes them by inundating them with frivolous, harassment countersuits when they sue him for the money he owes them. he does this at every level; to small time contractors to BIG american banks. and he's gotten away with this scam for 40 years! trump's secret for success - DON'T PAY YOUR DEBTS! and to be BORN rich enough to get away with it.
    13
  25. it isn't going to happen, IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! THE POLICE STATE IS HERE! and it began long before bush jr was appointed to the white house. the only differences between 1930's germany and America today was the amount of time its taken for the elitist take over and the technology available to enforce the take over. the fascist take over of the U.S. involves both major parties and was a slow, meticulous and deliberate process that began even before, but really took off, during the nixon era. and its been the digitization technology, which was first mass commercialized through video games, home computers, the internet and cellphones that have enforced and solidified it. they've been selling us our slavery, dependence and addiction to police state technology. and much of the world has been stupid enough to buy it!
    13
  26. so did Reagan. go figure.
    13
  27. I've said for many years now - the fascists lost wwll but are now taking over the world. it began in America almost immediately following the war with the fascists stealing the word "libertarianism," the House Un-American Activities Committee's investigations into left-wing organizations and the fbi infiltration and undermining said organizations. followed by the take over of money and elitist control of the media and politics and Reagan's reactionism which has completely corrupted America's political process. the democrats are very much to blame too as they've turned right-of-center and neo-liberal over the last 40 years. but the dems biggest failure is mainly they're propensity to simply not fight back, roll over and allow the GOP to lie and cheat and walk all over them. I agree with Chomsky assessment. he's no fan of the democrats but he identifies the GOP as one of the most destructive, corrupt and criminal organizations in the country if not the world.
    13
  28. this IS normal - in fascist countries. the U. S. is a fascist country. the "Lincoln Project" just released an alarmingly accurate short anti-trump film that focused exclusively on the use of secret, unidentifiable, , militarized police that's been used against americans on trump's command. these are really just heavily armed "troops" and secret-police on domestic soil being used against lawful protestors. this exemplifies the REAL problem; it ISN'T trump, as horrible, despicable and criminal as he is. the problem is the fascists within govt and without, who willingly and happily implement and enforce trump's illegal orders.
    13
  29. the constitution was originally designed as a conservative document. to appease the wealthy who wrote it. if it wasn't for the "anti-federalists" like Jefferson, samual adams and Patrick henry there wouldn't even be a bill of rights. the founding fathers, as a whole, actually feared democracy and majority rule. so, the elite in general and the GOP are right in step with the belief's of the original framers. this where they claim a "strict" interpretation of the constitution. of course what they mean is a pro-elitist, conservative interpretation. where the left prefer a more liberal, human rights oriented interpretation. but you're right, the elite on the right seem more willing to do whatever takes, violate any law, overstep any ethical boundaries to obtain and hold power.
    13
  30. i've said this a 1000 times. and i actually read the phrasing from someone else but its true - the right wingers believe the right to life ENDS at birth. the right to protections against predation ENDS at birth. after you're born you're on your own. and they won't even wish you good luck as they sabatage all the social institutions intended to help you survive or succeed.
    12
  31. i've often said trump didn't steal the 2016 election. he doesn't possess the intelligence to pull off such a complicated endeavor. but OTHERS stole the election for him. foreign provocateurs, corporate entities and domestic political actions like interstate crosscheck and others, all combined to illegally affect the election and place trump in the whitehouse. all of these groups knew how unstable and corrupt trump was. they didn't care because they were ONLY concerned with advancing their own agendas. sometimes they worked in tandem and sometimes not. sometimes trump was aware and sometimes not. but trump always knew of the EFFECT of these efforts if not the efforts themselves. trump knew he could never win an american election. he spent the first 6 months in the white house expressing his dismay that he "won." these leaked kremlin documents only follow the patter of confirming these efforts.
    11
  32. the whole thing boils down to the flaws of capitalism and Predanomics. capitalism creates both big govt and big business. it creates an elite ruling class that pits us against one another so they maintain power. under Predanomics, which holds capitalism as its economic system, there's NEVER enough money to do anything but make rich people richer. social programs only use tax dollars to pay the extortion demanded by the elite on behalf of the poor, elderly and disabled. in other words social programs serve the same goal as privatization; it makes us more dependent on the elite through govt. the anti-govt position on one side and anti-business position on the other are just facades. the elite use BOTH concepts to keep us divided so they maintain power.
    11
  33. that's funny. if the GOP were honest they'd have to declare all fetus' as mooching slackers unworthy of respect, precious resources or life. i've said this a 1000 times. and i actually read the phrasing from someone else but its true - the right wingers believe the right to life ENDS at birth. the right to protections against predation ENDS at birth. after you're born you're on your own. and they won't even wish you good luck as they sabatage all the social institutions intended to help you survive or succeed.
    11
  34.  @youbean666  … yes the group that calls itself the "family" has a lot of corrupting AND covert influence over our elected officials. my god, there's a lot of fascist orgs that have had a secret domination over our society. but the GOP is the org that allows these entities so much influence. so they're like the central control that combines all the corrupting fascist entities into a single and unified unit. the GOP machine has become the single biggest threat to human freedom the world has ever seen. and its effect can be seen on a global scale even in Russia and china.
    11
  35. i'm afraid, thanks to the elite on the right and left, the only direction America and the world are headed is straight DOWN - to HELL! economic and climate disasters will lead to more civil unrest which is the only excuse the elite need to clamp down with their global corporate police-state. digitized money, bodily inserted micro-chips and the "smart" grid will be installed to track your every move, your every word, and eventually, your every thought. absolute human dependence on over-priced corporate technology will enslave us all. and the youth, who's been conditioned, through advertising, commercialization and fire-hosing, to EMBRACE this slavery since birth, more and more with each successive generation, will just accept and even welcome this police-state for its security, convenience and because its shiny and sparkly. climate change is being ignored for a reason. unfettered MONEY in politics and corporate control of the media has happened for a reason! fascism and neo-liberal economics are taking over the world for a reason. and the reason is ITS WHAT THE ELITE WANT! its what they need to drive the final nails into the coffin of freedom, individuality, independent thought and human rights! its time we WAKE UP and FIGHT or the future of humanity will be very grim indeed!
    11
  36. "con pig." that's just wonderful. sums up trump and all the elite quite nicely.
    10
  37. actually our bank deposits are secured with our own tax dollars through the FDIC. so the banks run NO risk whatsoever. they can loose every cent of YOUR money and not have to pay it back. remember, this is capitalism. the elite aren't held responsible for ANY crime they commit. you're tax dollars will bail them out.
    10
  38. you kidding. i'm on medicare - FULL MEDICARE - and i'm still denied medical care on a regular basis. medicare is practically 100% privatized now. corporate medical and insurance porofits are astronomical. just YESTERDAY i tried to contact medicare directly to complain. there IS NO medicare outside of private companies contracted to administer it. medicare, like foodstamps, is all one HUGE bureacratic mess designed to be impossible to navigate. designed so passing-the buck is SOP and no one is responible for ANYTHING!
    10
  39.  @jgsomers6862  … I confess I am not a Christian but I was raised one. my parents allowed us kids, in our early teens, to make our own choices concerning religion. and they were pretty conservative Christians at that. although i'm not religious I do respect ALL religions. but criticize those people who choose to interpret their religions in a negative, meanspirited context. i've found all religions, with the possible exceptions of Satanism and scientology, to have an interconnected link - and that link is LOVE, compassion, tolerance and personal integrity. god created humanity to love, cooperate with and help one another and RESPECT OUR PLANET! and although i'm not a Christian I do follow the social teachings of jesus; as well as the buddha, Socrates, Gandhi and others. in fact I founded a new social philosophy, called equalism, based upon these interlinked social teachings. what, if any, religion you choose to follow is your own business. but how you apply your believes to your neighbors and society is what defines YOUR CHARACTER!
    10
  40. all elite, CEOs, politicians and presidents lie. but trump lies about EVERYTHING! even about small inconsequential things and obvious facts. other presidents at least used an occasional "no comment" but not trump. he has an, apparently, uncontrollable compulsion to respond to EVERYTHING, to talk about ANYTHING and to lie as he responds. some of it is the "salesman" in him, some of it is his propensity for self-promotion and being the center of attention, some of it is his megalomania and his delusions of grandeur. but most of it is just pure pathology. he's lied his whole life, gotten away with it and gotten what he wants. in his twisted mind he's thinking - hey, if it works, why change it? and half his cult followers know he's lying, don't care and admire him for it and the other half actually believe this pathological liar and his lying sycophants; McConnell, Graham, Limbaugh, Conway, et al. they've all sold their souls to the insanity of the trump cult.
    10
  41. when you have a "two party" political system and one of those parties becomes treasonous and corrupt and represnt the dismantling or the destruction of the republic, you have only two choices. either let them or declare the treasonous party illegal. ever since nixon the GOP has become less democratic, more deceitful, more anti-human rights, more corrupt, and more criminal. meanwhile, over the last 50 years the dems have DONE NOTHING to stop that party from becoming the party of traitors. in fact, over the years they've become MORE like the GOP! i guess watergate, instead of being a major step in removing corruption from govt, was actually the beginning of the end of this country. who'd a thunk it? what did germany do after wwll? they criminalized the nazi party and as a result experienced nearly a century of growth and unity. i suggest we damned well better declare the GOP the criminal, corrupt organization that they are and start rounding up these traitors and throwing them in prison OR we WON'T have a country in 5 or 10 years. and putin, xi and the rest of the damned global and american fascists will have gotten their way AGAIN!
    9
  42. I just saw a thumbnail that reminded me about something. what's happening with J. Assange. my god there's so much crap going on its IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with it all. I guess the old saying is true - "out of sight, out of mind."
    9
  43. i'd rather see a record of trump's imprisonment.
    9
  44. … excellent point. if trump can be deemed "dangerous," which he most certainly can, then what about the GOP elite who have done nothing but make excuses for trump and give him unquestioned loyalty and support. or his cult following who're demonstrating the same mass psychosis the german people demonstrated with hitler, the Russians with stalin, the Italians with mussolini and the Chinese with mao. like these others, trump isn't the disease but a symptom of the disease. removing trump from power WON'T cure this disease of fascism.
    9
  45. NO KIDDING! what damned lawyer would represent that buffoon after he refuses to pay every lawyer he ever had? trump doesn't have to pay taxes and he doesn't have to pay his lawyers and HE STILL gets legal representation! my god, i can't believe the insane circus our country has become.
    9
  46. there's a sad and horrifying truism concerning the fascist "pro-life" position. they tend to be pro-life... but only until AFTER birth. then you're on your own. and they don't care what happens to you.
    9
  47. for those who didn't know hassan was a member of the Unification Church - a "Moonie" as they were called. the reality is almost everything is a cult. all social institutions, corporations, employers, govts and most people want to manipulate others to their liking, way of thinking or advantage. capitalism is a cult, all religions and atheism are cults. commercialism and consumerism are the tools of cults. a cult will promote both self interest and unity through comradery simultaneously to gain members. govts and social systems brainwash us from birth. WE'RE BORN INTO THESE CULTS! we're all brainwashed to one degree or another. some of us even brainwash ourselves. the question is - do you want to be brainwashed for good or evil? for cooperation or predation? for kindness and compassion or for hate and greed? for ethics or deception? FOR FREEDOM OR SLAVERY? in one of my equalism videos I openly admit I want to brainwash you but not for monovalent or selfish purposes but for benevolent and egalitarian purposes. it may sound like a contradiction but its not, YOU CAN CHOOSE which brainwashing path you follow - YOU CAN brainwash yourself NO TO BE A PREDATOR!
    9
  48. … and I might add that The Buddha, Socrates and Jesus were all anti-elitists and anti-materialists as well. they despised wealth and greed and the corruption they inspire.
    9
  49. America is nothing but an oligarchy, argentocracy, plutocracy, kleptocracy and a police-state technocracy. any way you look at it - its a total BS-ocracy!
    9
  50. yes, its sad when the elite's propoganda machine makes the lower classes "identify" more with the elite - THAN EACH OTHER! although virtually none of us have a real chance of ever becoming rich! a lot of this BS is promoted by pop culture as singers and rappers have relentlessly PUSHED the pursuit of wealth, at ALL costs, materialism and commercialism on our youth over the last 40 years!
    9
  51. capitalism is just a repackaging of feudalism and vice versa. there's actually no REAL difference between the 2. they both enslave the people for the benefit of the elite. and the sooner we do away with and reject silly, irrelevant distinctions and look at the big picture the sooner we'll SEE and UNDERSTAND the truth. civilization brought us the elite, fascism, authoritarianism, greed, corruption, slavery, poverty, prejudice, war AND capitalism. civilization was an elitist invention designed to solidify, enforce and perpetuate elitist power and control over humanity. and its done just that over the last 6000 years!
    9
  52. poverty and homelessness are at crisis levels throughout the U. S. and our numbers have been steadily rising since the Reagan era and because of Reagan's implementation of neo-liberal economics. but the media refuse to report on it and the govt redefines economic terms to hide the true numbers. right now, nearly HALF of ALL americans qualify for some type of govt aid. they may not apply for it or receive it but they qualify for it. and this is happening as the people needing these funds receive less aid per person, funds for govt programs decrease or are privatized, the qualifications for aid become more strict and the govt definitions of poverty and homelessness have become more corrupted to hide the true numbers. hyper inflation lead by skyrocketing property values coupled with the increase in poverty level wages are the main culprits. the RICH are absconding with the ENTIRE American economy that WE ALL contribute to. both democrats and republicans have contributed to this crisis. both parties continue to cave to BIG MONEY INTERESTS and allow the elite to write the laws. you want to end this downward spiral? be prepared to REVOLT and dedicate your lives to the cause. because it ain't gonna stop otherwise. watch my equalism channel to learn more!

  53. yep, jesus was a socialist pure and simple. this all falls in line with the prosperity gospel. financial "success," wealth and power are rewards from god. it goes all the way back over 6000 years to the "divine-right-of-kings." a belief john locke obliterated in 1690 in his First Treatise of Government. the capitalists used smith's "wealth of nations" to keep the lie alive as did the industrialist of the gilded age and the fascists in the 20th century calling it "social-darwinism." (stalin and mao were both fascists by the way, regardless of what they called themselves.) the philosophy goes - anyone with the cunning and ambition to obtain wealth and power deserves to rule because their achievement was a demonstration of natural superiority or ordained by god. the elite use this rationale even today. i heard oprah winfrey say, on air, during one of her shows that god chose to her to become rich because she was so much wiser and deserving than others. this is extreme narcissism and megalomania; a mental disease that seems to inflict ALL the elite. they all believe they're superior to the rest of humanity and in fact THE OPPOSITE is true. capitalism allows the most predatory, the most devious and unethical, thus the least deserving, to prosper. when was the last time you heard of anyone getting rich from generosity or compassion?
    8
  54. here's the thing on political pardons. you're not supposed to be able to PRE-pardon people. pardons are to be issued AFTER the legal process has played out and a guilty verdict rendered. in other words you CAN'T pardon anyone from an investigation. but ford abused the pardon process and pre-pardoned Nixon and now everyone thinks pardons can be issued BEFORE conviction. just look at the historical record. i'll lay you odds that 100% of them were issued to people already found guilty and serving time. most of bush sr.'s pardons involved those already found guilty. so this whole idea that politicians can issue pardons for people for crimes they've never been convicted of is a COMPLETE fallacy and not based on any legal principle just like "executive privilege" and "you can't indict a sitting president." along with pre-pardons none of these concepts have any legal or lawful foundations.

  55.  @davefroman4700  … its not the people, but the elite who are pushing us further into fascism despite the will of the people. the people, the world over, are more left of center than far right but the elite are installing fascist regimes around the globe. including right here in the USA!

  56. there's something very wrong here. here's the problem. trump believes becoming "president" makes him king and above the law. he now thinks he has privilege and immunity from the crimes he's committed. he believes he has authority over congress, the constitution and all govt agencies and branches. he believes the govt is there to SERVE HIM and fulfill his commands. trump's insane, paranoid, megalomaniacal despotism is growing worse with each passing day. he's making one unilateral decision after another. he thinks and he's behaving like Mussolini. which is something that very obvious he was going to do as he acted just like mussolini throughout his so-called campaign. hell, throughout his life. now he's demanding investigative retribution against his political opponents. barr isn't acting as AG but as trump's personal attack dog and enforcer. the trump fascists have taken OVER OUR GOVERNMENT and we damned well better stop them.

  57. Ayn Rand greatly inspired the ultra-fascism of today's right, in all its incarnations. like rand, today's american fascists don't hate this country because its too fascist. they hate it because its not fascist enough. when reagan's fascism wasn't extreme enough for you, you know you're pretty damned fascists.

  58.  @captain_context9991  ... you got that right. garland, biden's ag, just threw out 3 lawsuits claiming trump violated the emoluments clause. they claim that since trump's no longer "president" the issue is moot. the DOJ has already defended many of trump's claims of "executive privilege." we have to ask, just what the hell's going on here? historically speaking, the dems have allowed GOP crimes to go unpunished over the last 50 years. they let nixon and reagan get away with their crimes. they actually helped bush jr commit his crimes. and now, it appears, THIS DEM PRESIDENT is more concerned with maintaining secrecy at the highest levels of govt than holding a highly criminal "president" accountable for his 100's of crimes while in office. many dems, like biden and garland, are doing just as much to protect trump as the GOP IS! we have to DESTROY these false and illegal notions of "executive privilege" and hiding crimes under the claim of "national security." most dems, it seems, are FINALLY ready to actually enforce the law. but with their "leader" unwilling to procede it'll be very difficult.

  59.  @corryjookit7818  thanks. I SUGGEST EVERYONE WHO OPPOSES OR IS HESITANT TO SUPPORT TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT TO WATCH THAT DOCUMENTARY. although i'm already aware of many similarities i'd like to see that documentary. I hope it includes comparing trump to Mussolini as well. trump resembles Mussolini not only in rhetoric, actions and policy but ALSO in his posturing. its uncanny. history IS repeating itself but at a faster rate and wider scale! the fascists lost ww2 but are NOW taking over the world! and YES, its very dangerous and scary INDEED! we damned well better wake the hell up to this INSANITY and start denouncing and fighting it PRETTY DAMNED QUICK! i've been fighting this fascist rise since the thatcher/Reagan eras. I was IGNORED and look at what's happened! even the left is becoming more fascist. THE WORLD'S GONE NUTZ!

  60. under capitalism when the economy boons we, the people, may be A LITTLE better off but the elite profit ENORMOUSLY. when the economy tanks WE SUFFER and the elite profit ENORMOUSLY. capitalism is designed to fluctuate; be in a constant state of flux. this is called, NOT a free market, but a market economy. its supposed to provide as little social stability and individual security as possible while maintaining and increasing elitist wealth and power and solidifying the peoples' dependence on the elite. this ISN'T a broken system but how capitalism is supposed to work! any way you look at it - capitalism is ONE BIG SCAM! WAKE UP AND DEMAND JUSTICE, STABILITY, SECURITY AND SANITY IN YOUR OWN LIVES!

  61. trump WASN'T voted in! he STOLE that election. the evidence is all over the place! he isn't the legal president! we MUST stop calling that gutter rat "PRESIDENT!"

  62. i'm not too sure about the civil war scenario. the oligarchs want a big, SINGLE oppressive corporate state not several smaller oppressive corporate states. I think its much more likely our rulers want civil unrest but won't let the country disintegrate or break up. and they'll use that unrest as an excuse to invoke even greater restrictions on our civil liberties. the REAL threat we face isn't a civil war but THE POLICE STATE that the elite have already begun to implement not only in the U. S. but globally. the 2 greatest threats humanity faces RIGHT NOW are the police state and climate change. and the civil unrest caused by our continued ignoring of climate change will result in even MORE INTRUSIVE police state measures to be enacted. why else would the world's corporate and political "leaders" be ignoring climate change? they want the chaos that'll ensue because it'll give them the rationale to further restrict our freedoms. AND PEOPLE WILL APPLAUD THESE EFFORTS!
    8
  63. one thing's for sure; the fascist elite are WINNING! they've succeeded at creating a country, and a world, that's so divided, confused, frustrated and gullible we're all too busy fighting each other rather than our common enemy. THE ELITE who're laughing all the way to their police-state banks!

  64. my question concerning Dean is - since when was excitement over your own campaign a bad thing? it was the stupidest criticism yet the media pushed it ad nauseum. you also have to remember the media CREATED TRUMP! for 20 years he was constantly interviewed by tv and print "journalists" and talk shows, morning, noon and night, asking him his worthless opinion on politics and social issues and letting him hock his "business" scams. he was on entertainment tonight and the emmies, in the tabloids, and even on pro-wrestling. trump was a media-hound and shameless self-promoter and the media allowed him to use them to misrepresent himself as someone important and to create name recognition for himself. then when he was nearly broke, down and out, mark burnett and nbc, for some reason, actually gave this moron his own tv show. this allowed him to RE-brand his scandal-ridden name and misrepresent himself as some big-wheeling tycoon to a national audience. then, from the moment he announced his sham prez campaign, the media gave him still MORE unprecedented and unwarranted free air time. and since he stole the election the media continues to give trump free media coverage. NOW EVERYDAY IS THE INSANE TRUMP SHOW. there's no escaping it. and its all thanks to the national media that allowed a predator like trump FREE ACCESS to a national audience to promote and misrepresent himself.
    8
  65. if trump can be deemed "dangerous," which he most certainly can, then what about the GOP elite who have done nothing but make excuses for trump and give him unquestioned loyalty and support? or his cult following who're demonstrating the same mass psychosis the german people demonstrated with hitler, the Russians with stalin, the Italians with mussolini and the Chinese with mao? like these others, trump isn't the disease but a symptom of the disease. removing trump from power WON'T cure this disease of fascism.

  66. +becky… i'm afraid dr mcnasty was living up to his name. he was using insult level sarcasm to agree with you. unfortunately it missed its mark and just came off as rude and mean spirited. of course you're right becky. since Reagan opened the flood gates to laissez fair economics the oligarchic corporatocracy has been firmly established in the U. S, and its gone to the wolves, predators and money-thugs. if it doesn't make rich people richer it just get done in the America Reagan created.

  67. if what Freeman is saying is true, trump and his fascist secret service just committed an act of war and violated international law. embassies are foreign soil. how many more times are we going to allow trump, the American elite and OUR govt to break the law and get away with it?

  68. for goodness sake then, what are we waiting for? lets give him back! along with all our other reptilian overlords.

  70. just trump occupying the white house is treason being that he isn't president and was never duly elected. the coup that put him in the white house was treason and those elite behind the coup committed treason as well. trump actually lost that election to Clinton who lost her primary to sanders. that ENTIRE election cycle was rigged and stinks to high heaven. the question remains; why is this buffoon still being allowed to pretend to be president?
    7
  71.  @captain_context9991  ... "what a country. what a culture" indeed. i end a lot of my comments with the phrase - "isn't capitalism great?" i think that applies here as well. the rich are EXEMPT from the law! and sometimes its how the law is written but usually its due to lack of a desire to enforce the law against the rich. all the rich have to do, as trump demonstrates over and over, is file countless counter suits and nuisance suits to delay justice, indefinitely, and to drain their opponents of all funds to pursue their cases. also the existance and use of "non-disclosure agreements" is just another scam to hide crimes and corruption. they're illegal and have NO basis in LAW! they actually violate the basis of law by silencing free speach, freedom of action and by covering up the truth. the same holds for SECRET out of court settlements. yet the courts continue to enforce these coerced "agreements" all over the country. what strikes me are the gullible, lower class morons who actually BELIEVE billionaire trump represents them or their intersets. the shere idiocy of the trump cult just boggles the mind. and scares THE HELL out of me!
    7
  72. trump was the first to publicly ask THREE foreign govts to him help win elections. he was the first to publicly admit to bribing elected officials in exchange for political favors. he was the first, that we know of, who told over 15,000 documented lies in merely 3 and a half years of his first term. he was the first to violate election laws, federal laws and the constitution on a nearly daily basis and receive NO penalty or punishment. he was the first to occupy the whitehouse without winning an election. oh wait. bush jr. beat him at that.
    7
  73.  @SALSAKID49  … you make a good point. trump's cult seem to revel in trump's deceptions. even though he's lying to them too! question is - when did americans become so gullible, so desperate and eager to follow a reality-game show jack-ass? such an obvious fraud? makes me even more ashamed of being an American.
    7
  74. nearly EVERYTHING trump does is without the consent, or even the knowledge of congress. why should this be any different? the congressional GOP sure doesn't care and the dems didn't even include "circumvention of congress" in their impeachment articles. over the last 40 years congress has voluntarily surrendered more and more of its constitutional authority to the executive branch. in effect, right now, we have an autocratic govt in the U. S. - congress and the judiciary are just there for show!
    7
  75. all countries are oligarchies, my friend. some less so than others. but they all have a ruling elite that decides the fate of the people and the direction of country. its just a matter of degree. for instance, oligarchs in some countries don't mind that the citizens receive health care or have in place consumer, labor or environmental protections. but its still the oligarchs making these decisions.
    7
  76. its not only barr and the GOP who's ignoring the law and empowering trump its Pelosi, and other democrats like her and trump's entire cabinet and staff. when trump tells these people to break the law and ignore subpoenas they don't have to do as he says. for some strange and very dangerous reason these idiots are loyal to this gangster-doofus regardless of their sworn oaths to uphold the constitution and federal law. trump's election itself was illegal but the dems readily started calling this buffoon president on day one because to challenge the legitimacy of trump's claim to the office would require the dems to expose their own crimes. its like putin and the Russians gave trump dirt on all of them and trump's blackmailing them into submission. in order to bring trump to justice all of these people are going to have to expose crimes in their past they don't want exposed. nothing else explains all this unfounded loyalty and refusal to act as the law requires.
    7
  77. yep, right now the world's economy is experiencing HYPER-inflation, thanks to exploding property values, and depression level personal finances thanks to stagnant wages, hyper-inflation and debt. yet the mainstream or the alt-media or the professors or so-called economists NEVER mention this reality. a lot of americans experience the ravages of debt without actually being in debt because many products and services are priced to REQUIRE debt for purchase. but we're too poor to qualify for the debt. so we do without. in this way debt is effecting our daily lives without even going into debt ourselves. right now the world's economy is based upon the american model of neo-liberal capitalism - wage slavery and debt slavery is forced upon us just for our day-to-day survival.

  78. i'll repost a comment I just received that demonstrates the obscene fanaticism we freedom lovers are up against: from: Justin Martyr 20 minutes ago MAGA to my Blessed President! I WILL FIGHT for my President! my Reply: c. j. macq 1 second ago @Justin Martyr … so your willing to kill me to protect your precious fascist leader? you're just a sick and twisted sycophant who sold your soul to satan. good for you. these people are extremely dangerous. they've lost all connection to reality and are serious threats to the stability of this country and the world.

  79. I live in affordable housing in california and its basically a joke. (I have to admit though its better than nothing.) the problem is property values are ALL out of whack and extremely and artificially INFLATED. this is a national problem. high property values cause hyper inflation across the board and just make the rich richer. you see, the rents for affordable housing are based upon the property value of the housing involved. all it does id offer the elite even more tax breaks for providing housing below the market value the rents would otherwise be based upon.

  80. it does. mcdonald's and ALL other corporations, tell us what to do on a daily basis. they write the laws, they choose the politicians to do their bidding, they fund the campaigns. haven't you figured it out yet. they don't call it the corporate states of america for nothing. the hardest thing to do is to get govt, at ANY level, to enforce its own laws against its politicians. for some reason politicians are the only americans who can out and out lie and not face any consequences. (corporate CEOs too.) these paranoid anti-mask and anti-vax imbeciles are in fact breaking the law. its illegal to knowingly and willfully threaten the public health. nor is it legal to commit fraud. why not sue these conspiracy nuts under public endangerment and fraud laws and MAKE them defend their insanity IN COURT! put them under oath. and this includes journalists, preachers and businessmen too. the same thing needs to be done with trump election BIG LIE advocates as well. MAKE THEM PROVE THEIR LIES IN COURT!
    7
  81. what separates contemporary oligarchies from those in the past is the POLICE-STATE technologies being developed and used to enforce it. every time we buy a cellphone or buy something online we're using police-state technology. every time we exalt the insanity of driverless cars, face-recognition technology and digital manipulation of video, known as deep-fakes, we're praising police-state technology. the militarization of the police, the surveillance society, the cashless economy, drone technology and the coming "WONDERS" of micro-chipping are police-state technologies. and the onslaught of commercial products offering so-called digitized and computerized conveniences as are offered by today's cell-phones and the insanity of digital assistant products like siri are all designed to make us MORE dependent on the oligarchs. so civil war or not, the corporate police-state IS HERE and our human tights are IN GRAVE DANGER of being completely erased. and we do nothing?

  83. "starve the beast" has been precisely the fascist rights strategy for 50 years. they want govt to appear to fail by underfunding it and people fall for this nonsense. but fascists aren't really anti-govt. they always find enough funding for police-sate technologies, police militarization, the military, tax breaks for the rich, protecting elitist interests and WALLS! its only when govt is asked to protect human rights and compensate for the greedy failures of capitalism to provide for the needs of lower classes that the govt is always short of money. it sickens me how way too many republicans applaud the shutdown because they mistakenly see it as a reduction of wasteful govt.
    7
  84. it all falls in line with the prosperity gospel. financial "success," wealth and power are rewards from god. it goes all the way back over 6000 years to the "divine-right-of-kings." a belief john locke obliterated in 1690 in his First Treatise of Government. the capitalists used smith's "wealth of nations" to keep the lie alive as did the industrialist of the gilded age and the fascists in the 20th century calling it "social-darwinism." (stalin and mao were both fascists by the way, regardless of what they called themselves.) the philosophy goes - anyone with the cunning and ambition to obtain wealth and power deserves to rule because their achievement was a demonstration of natural superiority or ordained by god. the elite use this rationale even today. i heard oprah winfrey say, on air, during one of her shows that god chose to her to become rich because she was so much wiser and deserving than others. this is extreme narcissism and megalomania; a mental disease that seems to inflict ALL the elite. they all believe they're superior to the rest of humanity and in fact THE OPPOSITE is true. capitalism allows the most predatory, the most devious and unethical, thus the least deserving, to prosper. when was the last time you heard of anyone getting rich from generosity or compassion?
    6
  85. there's never been any debate that UFO's exist. the debate centers on what they are. as far as first contact with an otherworldly species goes - if you trust politicians, military brass, so-called scientists or the corporate elite to honestly represent humanity you need to pull your head out of your ass. these oligarchs don't even tell humans the truth. if these extraterrestrials had any sense they would not only avoid contact with humanities upper echelon they would align themselves with the oppressed, the human majority, and help us gain our freedom from our slave owners. the elite would either start a war with these beings or would align themselves with them AGAINST the rest of humanity.

  86. I just saw a thumbnail for video posted by fox saying "trump's HISTORIC Lincoln memorial speech." its historic alright but not for the reasons fox claim. it was historically non-traditional and illegal. it amounted to a $25 million campaign speech with the tax-payers paying the bill. trump, the moron, claims there's not enough money to provide these illegals with basic human needs but there's enough money for the taxpayers to fund trump's re-election campaign. I don't support illegal immigration in the slightest but I also know its the govt's fascist foreign policy creating this mass migration. giving these people privileged entry into our country ISN'T the solution. but abusing them while they're in custody isn't the solution either. demanding a return to a SANE and compassionate foreign policy IS the solution.

  87. THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS DAMNED COUNTRY. my landlord just committed FRAUD against me for the 2nd time. they've been violating the lease for nearly 2 YEARS! all three of my California landords have broken the lease and committed fraud. my neighbor has been harassing me relentlessly for the last 2 years. the student loan program has been stealing from my disability for the last 15 years. i'm on disability, receive medicare, FULL COVERAGE, yet I'm denied medical care. there are no doctors or dentists within 30 miles of me who accepts medicare. and I have no car and can't reach the ones who do. and I've been denied medical and dental care years past by the doctors I could get to. among my medical problems is a bad knee, a painful calf, i'm nearly deaf and wear STRONG glasses, I have 2 broken teeth and one of them makes it VERY PAINFUL to talk and eat, i suffer from CONSTANT dizziness accompanied with headaches, nausea and vomiting and I suffer from depression. BUT I CAN'T GET TREATMENT FOR ANY OF IT! and I MUST NOW do my laundry in the sink because the laudry machine company converted to CASHLESS machines and I REFUSE to comply. I'M DENIED LEGAL REPRESENTATION and any hope of legal remedies. legal aid and over 30 lawyers I've contacted refuse to represent me because i'm poor. cops refuse to enforce the law. govt agencies and politicians ignore my pleas and cries for HELP! this is the reality for 10's of millions of poor, disabled and elderly americans. this is the SHITHOLE America has become. and the corporate elite, the GOP, the conservatives, the dems NOR THE PROGRESSIVES are addressing these everyday horrors the poor must endure. and the people are mindless, spineless, little weazles unwilling to stand up, say NO MORE and REVOLT!

  90. as an ancient sky god i'm offended by your comment.
    6
  91. facts are facts. and they mean nothing to people who have no desire to hear the facts and no inclination to acknowledge the facts. 57% of americans now want trump REMOVED from office. that's more than the majority that voted for Clinton AGAINST trump! more and more people are waking up to the FACT that it was a colossal mistake ever letting that gangster doofus into the whitehouse! but will the senate GOP EVER acknowledge the reality that a vast majority of of americans already know?
    6
  92. not only health care and education but LEGAL SERVICES; legal representation, court access and law enforcement should be PUBLICALLY, SOCIALLY and TAX PAYER FUNDED! justice ISN'T a private commodity but a social obligation. and justice can't be served when its denied people due to exorbitant fees and financial restrictions. the Magna Carta which was written by a bunch of elitist OVER 800 years ago, in 1215, says, in Clause 40: ‘To no one shall we sell, delay or deny right or justice’. but in America, as in the rest of the world, lack of money is the most common excuse for lack of justice, court access and legal representation. in fact if the poor had equal access to the law, courts and legal representation equal access to health care and college would soon follow and poverty itself would in fact DISAPPEAR because the existence poverty is IMMORAL, UNETHICAL, a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS and thus ILLEGAL!

  93. +wally... haven't you figured it out yet? trump is a chronic liar and has been his whole life. he lies to his wives, he lies to his rape victims, he lied to dodge the draft, he lies in his business dealings, he lied about using foreign labor to produce his damned stupid overpriced products, he lies about his wealth, he lies about his taxes, he lies about being a conservative, he lied when he hired pro actors to pose as his support when he announced his "campaign," he lied at every rally, in every tweet and news conference. he lies about his "love" for America. and he lied about illegal immigrants voting. the only thing I ever heard him say that was true was when he admitted to bribing public officials in the debates. this person is an amoral, unethical, profiteer, manipulator and opportunist AND HE LIES ABOUT BEING PRESIDENT!

  94. that's the most clueless comment I read today. right now there's a program can alter video IN REAL TIME! it alters reality as its being recorded. there's programs that can alter video images and audio to make ANYONE appear to do and say things they never did and never said. our sense of reality is being completely corrupted. we have NO idea what's real anymore, what to trust. and the elite want us this way. the cashless economy, cell-phone tracking and surveillance technology imbedded into our retail devices are ALREADY violating human rights on a daily basis. its inaccuracy is irrelevant. the danger isn't that its prone to malfunction. its danger is that it'll function as intended. ALL police-state technology is a danger to humanity and a threat to human rights - that's its INTENDED function.

  96. i recently read an article, sorry, can't remember the author, that calls trump the biggest bio-terrorist in history. and they're RIGHT! trump's criminality is worse THAN EVER and the biggest crime of all - WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO REMOVE HIM before the election,- for any reason! and despite the fact he didn't even win any election! the U. S. is in DIRE need of a constitutional makeover. but don't expect any substantial improvements in the system as long as the Dems, the GOP, the corporations and the elite maintain their absolute monopoly over our economy and political process. there's only one solution - REVOLITION! the corrupt elite has given us NO CHOICE.
    6
  97.  @Eclectic-Harlowe  ... YES, so many forget that pence, barr and Pompeo have taken an active role in helping trump implement his crimes. but i'm not sure if protesting in the streets is our only solution. it definitely can't hurt but there's a better way to change the direction of the corruption that's taken over our country and our world. and that's MASS non-compliance. we can't change the world as we continue to comply with the very system that's corrupting the world. we MUST REJECT this corrupt system and refuse to keep playing this rigged game of divide and conquer that the elite on BOTH sides insist that we play.
    6
  98.  @mahlina1220  … my point is, and hartman made the same point, if voting made a difference we wouldn't be in the mess we're in right now. trump lost to Clinton and they still installed trump into the whitehouse. and the DNC rigged their convention to favor Clinton and stole the nomination from sanders. by all accounts sanders should be president right now. and Hartman's point was, even when we DO get the politician we vote for into office they still only pass legislation the elite allows them too. i'm not trying to convince anyone not to vote. by all means be my guest. but don't expect any huge changes in the overall direction of our country even if the candidate of your choice is allowed to win. in other words - voting only works when the process is honest and they offer more than a choice between the lesser of 2 evils. i'm sorry my friend but this is the country, the world, the elite have made for us. THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE IT IS FOR US TO CHANGE and stop playing this rigged game the elite has set up that does nothing but divide us and pit us against one another.

  99. @François Miville … i agree with your assessment of trump and the American system but if you believe its any different in china think again. their elite lie, cheat and steal just like any other elite. and the result is the same - the rich get richer, the others are enslaved and their environment is trashed in the process.

  101. what's going on here is that the media is pushing the biden/democratic agenda and they, as usual, want to move on and don't want to address the crimes of the GOP. this is a 50 year trend of the dems - to NEVER pursue criminal charges for the crimes of the GOP. and over the last few decades there's been PLENTY! NOTICE! none of the "BIG" players in the failed insurrection have been arrested. NONE! the dems are gonna let the GOP get away with their crimes YET AGAIN! and with all these INSANE and CRIMINAL "new" voter laws being passed, over non-existent problems, the chances of the u. s. ever again having another LEGAL election are nearly ZERO! see? the voting process was corrupt NOT because of some major flaw in the system, but because their candidates LOST! they lost the election so the process is, by default, corrupt.

  102.  @lorisirene8843  … I believe you are right. after ww2 the U. S. brought over numerous Nazi's, scientists as well as bureaucrats, to work in scientific research (as it was called), our spy agencies and state dept. I find it quite ironic how, after defeating the fascists on the battle field, the U. S., itself became more fascist. even launching govt investigations and attacks on liberals and leftists just as the nazi's did after hitler grabbed power. and the U. S. has been becoming more and more fascist over the assuming decades. I often say - although the fascist lost ww2 they are now taking over the world and we'd damned well better start waking up to this reality and start demanding a DIFFERENT path for species and our planet!

  104. first we MUST stop calling trump president. HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! he didn't win any election. the white house was handed to him through a coup, a fixing and rigging of the electoral process. the evidence is EVERYWHERE! THIS IS A FACT! everyone calling this traitor president is guilty of FIRE-HOSING!  - the act of repeating a lie often enough people begin to believe the lie! so, do us all a favor, accept reality. the U.S. was the victim of a coup d'etat. so, stop fire-hosing the lie that this criminal is president.
    6
  105. 3 things contributed to the "economic" boon that followed ww2 - 1) the rise of unions, 2) the G.I. bill which funded college for returning service men and 3) low property values and interest rates. of the 3, since the Reagan era, only the G. I. is still functional to any degree and that has little impact on society. the G. I. Bill alone wasn't any solution. only in conjunction with the other 2 would any of them have any positive impact.
    6
  106. yes, the "trump" effect is a detriment to the entire country. it completely warps and corrupts the very concepts of integrity, honesty, empathy and SANITY! it boggles the mind. you know what else boggles the mind? why trump continues to be allowed to play president when he most obviously belongs in prison.
    6
  107. not only barr but the entire GOP congressional "leadership" are now culpable and willing participants in "obstruction of justice" and covering up trump's crimes. barr was just charged with contempt of congress but guess what? its barr and HIS DOJ who enforce those charges. so now, trump, his staff, barr and the GOP congressional leadership are just doing whatever the hell they want. the constitution, the law and subpoenas be damned. and the spineless dem "leadership" just denied YET ANOTHER impeachment process just this week! just what the hell is going on HERE? WHERE'S OUR GODDAMNED GOVT?

  108. trump is indeed a conman. but he's no better at it than any corporate or bank CEO, board member or major politician. every penny in profit, every bailout received, every story not covered by the mainstream media is just one giant con game, a giant scam. capitalism is based upon fraud and corruption. its economic gangsterism. economics based upon extortion. and as long as capitalism rules so will fascism! you want to stop this insanity?

  109. @bw s … you get no argument from me. personally i'm tired of the attacks on Christianity and religion in general. jesus was no fascist and you can't blame him for the elite who corrupted and misrepresented his message in his name. the same can be said for adam smith and karl marx. the crimes committed in their names is not a reflection of their original intent. THE ELITE CORRUPT EVERYTHING to their advantage. the sad part is the people who believe these corruptions and follow the LIARS! especially, when all they have to do is READ the truth for themselves. the early Christians were communal sects living for the mutual benefit of their society. Christians were involved in the abolitionist movement, the early labor movements, the civil rights and anti-war movements. i'm not a Christian, per se, myself, but i'm a follower of jesus, as I am the buddha and Socrates who all advocated the same thing. LOVE EACH OTHER! I have the deepest respect for my Christian brothers and sisters who follow this principle.

  110. poverty and homelessness are at crisis levels throughout the U. S. and our numbers have been steadily rising since the Reagan era and because of Reagan's implementation of neo-liberal economics. but the media refuse to report on it and the govt redefines economic terms to hide the true numbers. right now, nearly HALF of ALL americans qualify for some type of govt aid. they may not apply for it or receive it but they qualify for it. and this is happening as the people needing these funds receive less aid per person, funds for govt programs decrease or are privatized, the qualifications for aid become more strict and the govt definitions of poverty and homelessness have become more corrupted to hide the true numbers. hyper inflation lead by skyrocketing property values coupled with the increase in poverty level wages are the main culprits. the RICH are absconding with the ENTIRE American economy that WE ALL contribute to. both democrats and republicans have contributed to this crisis. both parties continue to cave to BIG MONEY INTERESTS and allow the elite to write the laws. you want to end this downward spiral? be prepared to REVOLT and dedicate your lives to the cause. because it ain't gonna stop otherwise. watch my equalism channel to learn more!

  111. trump has NEVER known what it means to occupy the whitehouse. he knows nothing about American traditions or history and nothing about the constitution or the law. he cares nothing about democracy and has always approached the presidency as a private sector CEO with authoritarian and dictatorial powers. and, as with all CEO's, the company takes a back seat to the CEO's self-interest and that of the investors. trump believes HIS personal concerns take precedent over everything else, followed by the concerns of other rich people. this is clear in his rhetoric and his actions.

  112. there was a lot more illegal about trump's pseudo-election than that! that 2016 election stunk to high heaven! i've been saying this for over 2 YEARS! trump ISN'T the legal president. 2 years to investigate this fool who's been committing crimes for OVER 35 years is ridiculous! and its time we DEMAND he be removed from office and imprisoned for ALL his crimes he committed both before and after he took illegal possession off the white house!

  113. very nice. I understand why some people may have gotten caught up in this insane trump "mania." but it baffles me how these so-called "professionals like Manafort, Barr, the entire trump entourage and the whole GOP could've allowed themselves to be taken in by this moronic con-man and pledge their unwavering support and defense of absolutely everything this criminal says and does. its just beyond all logic and comprehension. and we contribute to this insanity every time we refer to trump as "president." he isn't!

  114.  @aragon1253  … yes, disloyalty. that's how the elite perceive it. how dare they ask for a livable wage, medical care or an education? they should be happy with the scraps we allow them to have. asking for more income than what your employer is willing to pay is a sign of unappreciation for what they're already paying you. the employee is expected to sacrifice ALL for the good of the company. anything else is declared as disloyal and a betrayal to the company - and the BOSS!

  116. do you think its odd that those who want to "make America great AGAIN" are the one's most proud of being americans? that's because they've always known they've been getting their way for the last 40 years. the elite have gotten richer, authoritarianism has taken over the country, the military budget is at an all time high, the elections are rigged, the jails are full of poor people, reproductive rights are withering away, women are still 3rd class citizens, gun violence is rampant, corporate profits are skyrocketing and GOP gerrymandering is putting the GOP minority in political power all over the country. the fascists are already in control, that's why their so proud of THEIR country.

  118. that was a wonderful comment. a mixture of "1984" and "Idiocracy" is the perfect description of trump's america. i, for one, am damned tired of being dictated to and ruled by a bunch of delusional, fascist illiterates who find jewish/communist conspiracies around every corner! they even ATTACK those who're trying to save their lives! my patience has completely worn out on these bully, thug idiots! i'm sorry to say, but to protect human freedom and the environment ALL THESE PEOPLE belong in prison. they've left us with NO other solution!

  119. I live in affordable housing in california and its basically a joke. (I have to admit though its better than nothing.) the problem is property values are ALL out of whack and extremely and artificially INFLATED. this is a national problem. high property values cause hyper inflation across the board and just make the rich richer. you see, the rents for affordable housing are based upon the property value of the housing involved. all it does is offer the elite even more tax breaks for providing housing below the market value the rents would otherwise be based upon. its just another scam to make BIG profits for people who don't need the money! as long the elite are allowed to set whatever market values they choose on any and every product, service and industry americans are gonna face ever increasing problems. in other words, social programs without price controls are just welfare for the rich. this is what equalism calls Econo-Dynamics. its how the elite create and both big business and big govt got their advantage.

  120. slavery never ended. it was just redefined so we would no longer use the word to describe our reality. we now use the word "employment" to refer to our slavery. there's wage slavery, debt slavery, prison slavery and there's slavery to poverty. there's sex slavery, child slavery, spousal slavery and slavery of immigrants. there's slavery to greed, power and corruption. there's slavery all over the goddamned place. the redefinition and misuse of words is a common ploy among fascists. they've denounced the word "slavery" but still embrace its principles and practices under different names. just like many fascists now denounce the WORD fascism but still promote and support its practice and principles. for the last 25 years the fascists have used the internet to firehose the lie that hitler's Nazi's and Mussolini's fascists were socialists! FASCISTS LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING! they hide the truth behind their true intentions. they purposely hide their true goals because they know if they were to admit to them, the VAST majority of humanity would be appalled and reject them outright. trump IS the perfect example of this perpetual dishonesty. and his cult have followed the lead of their insane leader. and trump's GOP sycophants have been lying for decades and decades now. so, was it any wonder they so eagerly embraced trump! THE LYING KING!

  121. i'm afraid, thanks to the elite on the right and left, the only direction America and the world are headed is straight DOWN - to HELL! economic and climate disasters will lead to more civil unrest which is the only excuse the elite need to clamp down with their global corporate police-state. digitized money, bodily inserted micro-chips and the "smart" grid will be installed to track your every move, your every word, and eventually, your every thought. absolute human dependence on over-priced corporate technology will enslave us all. and the youth, who's been conditioned, through advertising, commercialization and fire-hosing, to EMBRACE this slavery since birth, more and more with each successive generation, will just accept and even welcome this police-state for its security, convenience and because its shiny and sparkly. climate change is being ignored for a reason. unfettered MONEY in politics and corporate control of the media has happened for a reason! fascism and neo-liberal economics are taking over the world for a reason. and the reason is ITS WHAT THE ELITE WANT! its what they need to drive the final nails into the coffin of freedom, individuality, independent thought and human rights! its time we WAKE UP and FIGHT or the future of humanity will be very grim indeed!

  123. all elite, CEOs, politicians and presidents lie. but trump lies about EVERYTHING! even about small inconsequential things and obvious facts. other presidents at least used an occasional "no comment" but not trump. he has an, apparently, uncontrollable compulsion to respond to EVERYTHING, to talk about ANYTHING and to lie as he responds. some of it is the "salesman" in him, some of it is his propensity for self-promotion and being the center of attention, some of it is his megalomania and his delusions of grandeur. but most of it is just pure pathology. he's lied his whole life, gotten away with it and gotten what he wants. in his twisted mind he's thinking - hey, if it works, why change it? and half his cult followers know he's lying, don't care and admire him for it and the other half actually believe this pathological liar and his lying sycophants; McConnell, Graham, Limbaugh, Conway, et al. they've all sold their souls to the insanity of the trump cult.

  124. the polling flaws mentioned have only occurred UNDER trump! OTHERWISE THE POLLING INFO presented over the last 50 years have been PRETTY DAMNED accurate. even if, on occasion, they're not within the margin of error they've ALWAYS been close. there IS fraud being committed in this election. and its being committed by THE GOP! there's ABSOLUTELY NO WAY, after over 20,000 lies told, trump's daily insanity and chaos, after his hatemongering and personal insults, after the mueller report, after his impeachment, after his REAL debt to foreign countries was exposed and after over 230,000 american deaths, that trump could be getting the votes THEY claim he's getting. and this includes the non-presidential races as well.

  125.  @laurenchobert8985  ... EXCELLENT POINT! in fact, capitalism is just another word for feudalism. i can prove feudalism exists RIGHT NOW through corporate monopolies of local economies. walmart and amaozon are feudalism in action. feudalism is nothing more than local, geographical control of an economy. the entire region because dependent on a single entity to provide for its employment and needs. wal-mart moves in, forces the closure of its competition and the entire area becomes dependent on wal-mart for its survival. microsoft, google and apple are examples of feudalism. feudalism is elitist slavery to elitist rule. it hasn't ended. the elite simply gave it a new name - capitalism!

JUST DOING YOUR JOB IS NO LONGER AN EXCUSE FOR DOING THE WRONG THING! right now i'm fighting my landlord, my neighbors, the cops, the post office, my bank, the tax allocation committee, the dept of fair housing, the D.A., local business owners, medi-cal AND legal aid ALL AT THE SAME TIME! NO WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING and/or nobody wants to their jobs! or they think their jobs give them the right to ABUSE people! and there's NO WHERE for the victims of this abuse, apathy, incompetence, malfeasance, corruption and criminal behavior to turn! the reality is AMERICANS HAVE NO RIGHTS and its wayyyyy past time for a damned REVOLUTION!

  127. trump should've never been allowed to be inaugurated. he didn't win ANY election, mueller proved this, and he isn't the legal president. the dems need to stop calling this fool "president," quit acting like they're afraid of this criminal, like the GOP does, and impeach this gangster doofus already. and charge mcconnell, graham and other high ranking GOP with obstruction and violating constitutional law if they interfere with this process.

  128. not only health care and education but LEGAL SERVICES; legal representation, court access and law enforcement should be PUBLICALLY, SOCIALLY and TAX PAYER FUNDED! justice ISN'T a private commodity but a social obligation. and justice can't be served when its denied people due to exorbitant fees and financial restrictions. the Magna Carta which was written by a bunch of elitist OVER 800 years ago, in 1215, says, in Clause 40: ‘To no one shall we sell, delay or deny right or justice’. but in America, as in the rest of the world, lack of money is the most common excuse for lack of justice, court access and legal representation. in fact if the poor had equal access to the law, courts and legal representation equal access to health care and college would soon follow and poverty itself would in fact DISAPPEAR because the existence poverty is IMMORAL, UNETHICAL, a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS and thus ILLEGAL!

  130. right on. its all a game. the leadership of each side playing their part. voting in america comes down to - damned if you do. damned if you don't. WE CAN'T WIN! the game is rigged. ACA is a perfect example of letting the GOP corrupt and destroy a dem campaign promise. the GOP and the insurance companies wrote ACA as an alternative to national health care. ACA simply forces every citizen to pay their tribute to the insurance companies. if you refuse to pay - THEY'LL take your money anyway in the form of a fine. ACA is the failure achieved from the dems complete and unquestioned readiness to meet GOP demands when the dems have power. its like they expect the GOP to submit to dem demands when the GOP has power. BUT THEY NEVER DO! when the GOP has power they do want they want. when the dems are in power they do what the GOP wants. sounds kinda suspicious to me. if the right and the GOP won't lead america into fascism the left and the dems will.

  131.  @dnickaroo3574  … a few years ago I founded a new and innovative philosophy called equalism. equalism rejects and denounces the insanity coming from the elite on BOTH sides. both sides are led by crazy people but since the "right" has allowed their side to be taken over by trump the right has taken a HUGE lead in the loony sweepstakes. trump's level of incompetence, insanity and corruption is unparalleled in U. S. history. this moron LIES about absolutely EVERYTHING, he spews insults like a schoolyard bully, he's given his OWN FAMILY unprecedented security clearances, political access and govt influence, he defies subpoenas at will, writes executive orders and declares non-existent emergencies to circumvent congress, he illegally reallocates funds to suite his demands, he has virtually no cabinet and what little cabinet he does have are all wall-street and corporate insiders. he insults our allies, praises dictators, "runs" his "administration" through twitter and declares himself the best and GREATEST at everything! corrupt politicians aren't rare but trump is a BONAFIDE NUT!
    5
  132. one thing the left and right have in common is that they're quick to criticize the elite on the other side while maintaining the elite on their side is pure and uncorrupted. the problem isn't the left elite or the right elite; the problem is THE ELITE! they cause and then exploit our divisions so they maintain power. they've repackaged and resold us the same old, failed ideas and lies for over 6000 years now and most of us still fall for this sham! to recognize this insane cycle is just the first step in becoming truly AWAKE!

  133. +Cam... yes, that's what capitalism is. but its best updated as the "divine right of the elite." it doesn't matter what that elite is called, royalty, as in the old monarchies, party leaders, as in the old soviet union or china, or venture capitalist, who rule the world today. its ALL the same - an elitist system, often calling itself democratic, while enforcing the elitist will and protecting their wealth and privilege. i talk about this on my channel quite often.

HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! he didn't win any election. the white house was handed to him through a coup, a fixing and rigging of the electoral process. the evidence is EVERYWHERE! THIS IS A FACT! everyone calling this traitor president is guilty of FIRE-HOSING!  - the act of repeating a lie often enough people begin to believe the lie! so, do us all a favor, accept reality. the U.S. was the victim of a coup d'etat. so, stop fire-hosing the lie that this criminal is president.

  136. the FULL Ken Starr report on b. Clinton was released within days. its more than obvious that trump and his campaign accepted whatever help from the Russian oligarchs they could get. there WAS a coordinated conspiracy by the American and Russian elite to put trump in the white house. they knew trump would be their puppet, perpetuate and intensify social divisions and be a major distraction from the REAL issues and problems facing americans. and that's precisely what trump has done. he's fulfilling his role very well.

  137. @Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump … if the elite had their way we very well might have. but our inherent and traditional ties to the british and british culture, the dedicated anti-fascism of FDR and other liberals, the Japanese bombing of pearl harbor and the german declaration of war against the U. S. a few days later prevented it. one thing for sure, thanks to the GOP and the American industrialists, AFTER ww2 the U.S. took a hard turn to the right and with a few minor detours have been following down the path of fascism ever since.

AND THEY'RE NOT STOPPING! so the treasury dept STOLE those past checks and will STEAL these new checks from me as well - thanks to treasury offset and a CRIMINAL GOVT and economic system called capitalism!

  140. @Kevin Tewey … that's both funny and true. the democratic party is just as responsible of getting trump into the Whitehouse as the American oligarchs, the Russians and the media. if the dems didn't rig their convention in favor of Clinton and against sanders, sanders could very well be president right now. sanders had a huge lead over trump in the polls while Clinton had a marginal lead which gave the election fixers the opportunity to rig the "election" in trump's favor and make his so-called victory appear more plausible. trump stole the election from Clinton who stole her nomination from sanders. and just look at the mess we're in now.

  141.  @Eclectic-Harlowe  … the problem is the direction trump represents is already set. if we, THE PEOPLE, don't stand up and put a stop to it we will have a dictatorship, even if its a class-oligarchical dictatorship, and a fully implemented corporate police-state in 20 years or even less. and, right now, I don't see enough people standing up to this eventuality, or even being aware of it, to stop it. WE MUST WAKE UP AND WAKE UP OTHERS!

  142. yes, its sad when the elite's propoganda machine makes the lower classes "identify" more with the elite - THAN EACH OTHER! although virtually none of us have a real chance of ever becoming rich! a lot of this BS is promoted by pop culture as singers and rappers have relentlessly PUSHED the pursuit of wealth, at ALL costs, materialism and commercialism on our youth over the last 40 years! so many anericans, INCLUDING THE LEFT, equate wealth with freedom. they claim wealth can BUY freedom. that while the rest of us are slaves to the elite, the elite themselves ARE FREE! THIS IS A LIE! that comes from the left as well as the right. the reality is wealth doesn't buy freedom - it buys PRIVILEGE! there's a huge difference between the two. here's capitalism 101: capitalism produces slavery across class lines. the non-elite, the comlen, are enslaved by those who have money. the elite are enslaved by the money ITSELF! rich people will choose slavery to money and the class privilege it allows over slavery to other people ANYDAY! this is the perspective of the philosophy of equalism. i talked about this on my equalism channel MONTHS AGO! maybe if some of you watched some of you might actually learn a new and more accurate way to see the world.

  143. whistleblowers are great when their listened to and aren't persecuted. remember Snowden was a whistleblower and look what happened to him. most whistleblowers wind up out of a job or in prison - OR worse. who knows what happens to the ones we NEVER hear about. secrecy has NO place in a democracy OR republic. loyalty to ANYTHING other than the constitution AND the American people, their freedom and their RIGHT to know, is in fact fascism and we've had fascism here in the U. S. for many years. oligarchies, elitist privilege and fascism are ALL the same thing!

  144. it was Trump, his Whitehouse lawyer Pat Cipollone and the rest of trump's cartoon council that should've been admonished for lying and making unfounded legal assertions in defense of their criminal client. Roberts needs to step up and DEMAND Trump, himself, and his council stop making legally baseless claims among them - 1) Trump has absolute immunity, 2) there's no evidence to support impeachment, 3) executive privilege applies to defying congressional oversight, covering up crimes or unethical or impeachable behavior and 4) Trump can use executive privilege as a means to withhold witnesses and documentation of his crimes. ALL these assertions are false and if they were made in a criminal proceeding the judge would throw out these groundless assertions and admonish the lawyers making them. These are just four of the many absurd and legally baseless claims being made by Trump and his council.
    5
  145. you got that right. this irresponsible moron just spreads any insane rumor that he believes will incite his cult! now the left is saying trump had him killed. I have a theory. Epstein AIN'T dead at all. trump, Clinton and all Epstein's rich, powerful and corrupt deviant friends sprang him loose. its not unprecedented and not a very difficult thing for these elitists to pull off. his testimony and that trial would've exposed the crimes of a helluva lot of rich perverts.

    5
  148. look, the reality is the whole idea of impeachment IS to overturn an election if it resulted in placing a corrupt criminal in office. the FBI investigated trump because they knew he had a 30 YEAR history of criminal activity and mob and Russian ties. the GOP voters who voted for trump KNEW he was a criminal and wouldn't let a few little things like federal law or the constitution get in his way of implementing the GOP's extremist agenda. the GOP politicians are backing trump because he's SUCCEEDING and they know the dems can't stop him without their help. we have, RIGHT NOW, a criminal in the Whitehouse, a criminal Whitehouse staff, a criminal Whitehouse cabinet, a criminal led SENATE and criminals leading the GOP! we have a DAMNED ROGUE, OUT OF CONTROL, CRIMINAL GOVT and we damned well better STOP IT!

  149. the only thing trump deserves credit for is screwing the American lower classes, enriching the upper classes, making the U.S. a global joke and illegally occupying the white house. oh ya; and molesting women, cheating on his wife and taxes, his mob ties, lies about his own finances and business "successes," the illegal use of the courts for retribution against his perceived enemies and just a lifetime of fraud, misrepresentation and megalomania.

  151.  @IndiaAniya25  … "the Founders only wanted freedom for themselves." excellent point. I look at it like this - the very same people were in power following the American revolution as before it. only without british oversight. I think your closing question can be reworded to ask - is a truly classless society possible? can a society be based upon inclusive, mutual benefit rather than exclusive, selective privilege? I say - YES! but it requires real devotion and lifetime dedication. in other words, YOU must be willing to sacrifice and change yourself. how can you expect the whole world to change but not be willing to change yourself? I founded a unique and innovative philosophy called equalism designed specifically to achieve these goals. I can send you some links explaining equalism further. are you interested?.

  152. thank you dr.

  153. first of all, STOP calling trump "president." that's part of the problem right there. every time I hear a member of trump's "opposition" refer to him as president it sickens me. you're validating and legitimizing trump's ILLEGAL occupation of the white house. DON'T believe trump's polls. everything about this criminal is based upon fraud. he's misrepresented himself his ENTIRE life. what makes you think the claim that so many whites support him is any more true than any of the other lies trump and his campaign has told in the past?

  154.  Michael Patterson  … its the implementation, continuation and escalation of Thatcher's and Reagans laissez-faire, capitalist policies promoted by Milton Friedman that's lead to this coming economic collapse. these policies have long been pushed by republicans. the dems only adopted these policies and turned further right since Reagan. any collapse that's coming can be firmly attributed to Reagan, the GOP and the criminal dems that followed their corrupt lead.

  155. i'm so tired of talk. and, more talk and talk and talk! I've been listening to talk for the last 40 years. meanwhile things keep getting worse! the left is becoming more fascist. the right was already fascist. the dems have election after election stolen from them and do nothing! and the left have abandoned women's rights and economic parity in favor of protecting male privilege to choose their own bathrooms, compete against women in sports and advocating crap like sanctuary cities for illegals. and ecomonic disparity is at 1930's levels, or worse! meanwhile, trump comes along, steals an election, ignores federal law and the separation of powers, persecutes those who expose his many crimes; AND for some odd reason we can't get rid of him. covid-19, like katrina and the so-called "great recession" of '08 before it, has proven, AGAIN, the dangerously fatal flaws of capitalism - yet NOTHING EVER CHANGES unless they change for the worse! THINGS ARE CRAZIER THAN EVER! EVERYONE is going in the WRONG direction! i'm damned tired of JUST TALK!

  157. +dlee… how can you be right and wrong at the same time? true: oligarchies aren't democratic. capitalism creates oligarchies. we've had an oligarchy in the U.S. since before the revolution. humanity has been ruled by oligarchs since the first city states. you wanna be free? fight the capitalist system that enslaves you on behalf of the oligarchs who rule you.
    5
  158. +Lab... you're right. there was also the French commune following the 1870 Franco-Prussian war. in both cases the fascist reactionaries slaughtered those involved. and this is partly my point. the elite WILL not voluntarily (through elections or legislation) relinquish their corruption, privilege and control over humanity. they will commit whatever atrocities needed to maintain their power. mass arrests, police brutality, war, torture, concentration camps and genocide - nothing is beneath them. lately, they use economic terrorism against their own people. this is often called "austerity." even poverty is a weapon. but don't think for one moment more violent methods won't be utilized whenever they feel the people and human rights threaten their rule to a greater extent. and this is more of a reason we need revolution, not less of a reason.

  159.  @kirstinstrand6292  yes, "a perpetual source of idiots." that funny. I grew up in a pretty conservative, religious home. we went to church every sunday and prayed at every meal. but my parents were kind of odd in that they eventually allowed us kids to decide for ourselves whether to carry on these activities. as for me, Christianity, as it was taught to me, never struck me as true; and even rather hypocritical. i'll bet that 90% of the atheists today grew up with at least some religious background. i wonder what it is that allows some of us to recognize the hypocrisy while others remain oblivious to it? to this day I follow jesus, but i'm not a Christian. I recognized a link between the teachings of the Buddha, Socrates and Jesus, and others, that I've committed my life to. I have no animosity towards Christians or the followers of any other religion who reject the fascism that's being embraced that corrupts the true intent of these religions. in other words, there are GOOD Christians in the world who truly embrace compassion and love and it isn't fair to group them all as mindless, unempathetic automatons. also, there are some very cruel and predatory atheists in the world as well. they aren't all about rainbows and candy canes.

FASCISTS LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING! they hide the truth behind their true intentions. they purposely hide their true goals because they know if they were to admit to them, the VAST  majority of humanity would be appalled and reject them outright. trump IS the perfect example of this perpetual dishonesty. and his cult have followed the lead of their insane leader. and trump's GOP sycophants have been lying for decades and decades now. so, was it any wonder they so eagerly embraced trump! THE LYING KING!

  162. NO ONE LIKES THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES! and that includes the auto, home or medical insurance companies. insurance companies make their money through denial of care, through overselling you insurance you don't need or underselling you insurance YOU DESPERATELY NEED! the insurance industry is one of the most HATED and MISTRUSTED industries in the world! for the MSM and dem candidates to continue to misrepresent and demonize national health care is the perfect example of far-right, pro-insurance industry fear mongering. good job in promoting the agenda of the corrupt, profiteering insurance companies. the solution is simple: you raise corporate and elitist taxes to fair and reasonable levels, reduce the military budget, increase middle class taxes by about a $100 a year, ELIMINATE sky-high insurance premiums, deductibles and co-pay and you receive FULL medical coverage in return. this is what 100's of nations, both big and small, rich and poor, do right now and guess what? THEIR COUNTRIES AREN'T BEING DESTROYED! but not in backward, medieval America! OH MY GAWD! damn socialism will kill us ALL! providing universal healthcare is SATANIC and DESTRUCTIVE! you damn stupid fools. wake the hell up!

  163. sorry, but trump's CONTINUAL denial of the 2020 election results has nothing to do with trump's lack of courage and more to do with trump's lack of ethics and integrity. trump knew in 2016 he was going to claim voter fraud in 2020. hell, he claimed it in 2016 and he (supposedly) won! this has been nothing but trump's election strategy ALL ALONG! remember, trump claims EVERYONE but him is corrupt. he not only knows this isn't true but he knows HE'S the one that's more corrupt than anyone else. this too is just an election strategy. trump's no genius but he knows how to lie and manipulate people. and claiming everything and everyone is corrupt BUT HIM is just another way he manipulates. the problem is the people he's manipulating has wanted someone to claim the system is corrupt for decades! he's manipulating them by telling them what they want to hear and exploiting their paranoia and gullibility. is the system corrupt? hell yes. that's how trump stole the whitehouse in the first place. but trump has taken advantage of this corruption he isn't THE protector from the corruption. and his cult are too brainwashed and mesmerized to know the difference.

  164. trump can NEVER be reelected. its impossible because he was never elected in the first place. how can he be RE-elected when he hasn't yet been ltgally elected. but he could be elected for the first time in 2020. but even this is highly unlikely. to retain the white house in 2020 trump will have to resort to the same fraud and crimes he and his american and russian oligarchic buddies resorted to to gain the white house in 2016.

  165. ts not only barr and the GOP who's ignoring the law and empowering trump its Pelosi, and other democrats like her and trump's entire cabinet and staff. when trump tells these people to break the law and ignore subpoenas they don't have to do as he says. for some strange and very dangerous reason these idiots are loyal to this gangster-doofus regardless of their sworn oaths to uphold the constitution and federal law. trump's election itself was illegal but the dems readily started calling this buffoon president on day one because to challenge the legitimacy of trump's claim to the office would require the dems to expose their own crimes. its like putin and the Russians gave trump dirt on all of them and trump's blackmailing them into submission. in order to bring trump to justice all of these people are going to have to expose crimes in their past they don't want exposed. nothing else explains all this unfounded loyalty and refusal to act as the law requires.

  166. poverty and homelessness are at crisis levels throughout the U. S. and our numbers have been steadily rising since the Reagan era and because of Reagan's implementation of neo-liberal economics. but the media refuse to report on it and the govt redefines economic terms to hide the true numbers. right now, nearly HALF of ALL americans qualify for some type of govt aid. they may not apply for it or receive it but they qualify for it. and this is happening as the people needing these funds receive less aid per person, funds for govt programs decrease or are privatized, the qualifications for aid become more strict and the govt definitions of poverty and homelessness have become more corrupted to hide the true numbers. hyper inflation lead by skyrocketing property values coupled with the increase in poverty level wages are the main culprits. the RICH are absconding with the ENTIRE American economy that WE ALL contribute to. both democrats and republicans have contributed to this crisis. both parties continue to cave to BIG MONEY INTERESTS and allow the elite to write the laws. you want to end this downward spiral? be prepared to REVOLT and dedicate your lives to the cause. because it ain't gonna stop otherwise. watch my equalism channel to learn more!

  167. trump doesn't seem so funny now does he? i'm so tired of people, over the last 5 years, making jokes about that criminal. fascism ISN'T funny. its never been funny. just ask the 10-12 million domestic victims of nazi hilarity! just ask the 50 million civilians and soldiers slaughtered world wide due to that comical, international, fascist military aggression. one thing trump has proven is just how susceptible the U. S. is to a fascist takeover. thanks largely to a corrupt judicial system and ineffective congress that not only has surrendered much of its authority to the executive branch but also puts "agenda" over the rule of law, common decency, human rights, logic and SANITY. the constitution MUST BE made enforceable otherwise its just a damned useless piece of paper. and there's NOTHING funny about it!

  168. I thought the entire GOP was disabled, mentally, morally and ethically. we have ONE party rule in this country and each state. the dems and GOP are two sides of the same corrupt elitist, corporate party. in 2020 it looks like the dems are gonna force Biden in as their candidate. yet another, Clinton style corporate politician. this will probably be the excuse the elite use to keep trump in white house. why are the dems dragging their feet on impeachment? the mainstream media keeps releasing polls that a majority of americans oppose impeaching trump. if you believe that you'll believe it win we're told biden wins the dems primary in 2020. uummm, you think its time to revolt yet?

  169. trump is never done and he never learns and he's never punished. what hartman is talking about is called a "mob mentality." and it has nothing to do with human nature. its a CORRUPTION of our true nature. through 6000 years of constant conditioning the elite has created a mentally ill HUMANITY! we've been brainwashed and conditioned to be predatory, violent, deceitful and GULLIBLE! the oligarchs have conditioned us to automatically respond to certain stimuli in a certain manner like "Pavlov's dog!" its called a "knee jerk" response and we've been conditioned for 1000's of years to JERK respond to certain buzz words, imagery and social settings like crowds. WE'RE CONDITIONED TO DO WHAT THE CROWD DOES! its called "blind conformity." it has nothing to do with human nature.

  170. insurance companies make their astronomical profits by selling policies that don't meet the customers needs. they either over-sell policies the customer will never use or need. or they under-sell policies you do need. if insurance companies were honest they'd never make a profit and would LOSE MONEY! that's the whole idea behind the insurance industry. 100% of our tax dollars go to the rich. on occasion some among the lower classes may recieve a benefit too, but the elite ALWAYS profit from every govt program. daca forces us to pay insurance companies for medical care when those same companies drive up medical costs. we're forced to pay the price increases created by the inflation the rich cause. food stamps and medicare are simply subsidies for the rich. the govt merely pays the extrortion demanded by the ruling elite on behalf of those who can't afford to pay the extortion. our tax dollars go towards allowing the elite to pay lowr taxes than us. or they pay no taxes at all and they often get REFUNDS on taxes THEY DON'T PAY! the elite get tax payer money for subsidies, contracts and bailouts although their reckless policies and greed caused the problems in the first place. people continue to suffer at the hands of the ruling elite and those victims are CONSTANTLY required to make their abusers richer. its called capitalism. we're a nation of fools ruled by gangsters.

  171. first of all the U.S govt is illegitimate as long as the elite exist to corrupt it. but running around killing random people isn't going to fix anything. as for the insane onslaught of misogyny.running through the country: I've been reading a book of quotations and it astounds me just how much absolute hatred for woman was expressed by these people from the past! its sad to know humanity hasn't yet matured enough to get past such insanity.

  172. there's of course another corporate advantage of moving American companies to foreign countries BESIDES just immediate monetary profit. and that's the corporate takeover of foreign govts. once the American, or ANY neo-liberal, profiteers gain a foothold in your country they begin to buy politicians, corrupt the election process and BUY and corrupt the govt to the corporations advantage and control. that's precisely what happened the U. S. American corporations have been corrupting central and south American politics and govts for over a 100n years. the problems in Venezuela are the result of a country trying to END that corporate takeover. the so-called "petrodollar" and the oil industry in the middle east and north Africa is another example of this. Russia, china, india and Israel have ALL invited this American invasion of their countries and their govts and societies now embrace American corporatism.

  173. the general definition of extortion involves the obtaining of property from another under color of official right. It is the wrongful taking of money or property not due to him "under color of official right,' with or without force, threats, or use of fear. california criminal code 518 - extortion is "the obtaining of property... with consent induced by a wrongful use of ... fear ... or under the color of official right" and yes, trump is guilty as hell of extortion many times over.

  174. i heard Hartman (I think it was hartman) on another video say exactly what you just wrote. its an excellent point. I mean, just what do you do when you need help from one corrupt leader (mob boss) to protect you from another corrupt leader (mob boss)? you know, in a lot of ways it reminds me of the American election system.

  175.  @josephgodfrey8468  … nope. me and all my ancient sky god friends are very real indeed. the only thing that can destroy us is a small dose of reason, a recipe of rationality and a good logical kick in the pants.

  176. BOTH major parties and ALL the major politicians at the federal, state and local levels have been BOUGHT by the elite and their corporations. politicians write very few laws anymore. they let corporate lawyers write the laws to favor elitist interests. you wanna fix this problem? voting's not likely to fix anything. it hasn't fixed anything over the last 50 years. the rich just keep getting richer and society more corrupt and divided. there's only ONE FIX to this problem and NONE of you are willing to commit, devote and dedicate yourselves and make the sacrifices needed to implement this solution.

  177. David... yep, it boils down to the age old question - who polices the police? who prosecutes the prosecutors? how can a corrupt govt protect us from corruption?

  178. what you're describing is called "downsizing." the idea is to raise prices without the consumer knowing. its called FRAUD and its perfectly legal under capitalism. they keep the price and the packaging the same while hiding the fact that they're giving you less product. without fraud capitalism would be IMPOSSIBLE!
    4
  179. there's no doubt that capitalism works by rewarding the most unempathetic, megalomaniacal, predatory and sociopathic society has to offer. the elite place one stipulation on social predation and that's that it must make or keep you financially wealthy, politically powerful or both. otherwise, to them, you're just a 2-bit punk or thug. they equate gaining success, by any means, as deserving success. they equate "superiority" with their warp and twisted sense of "rugged individualism." they call it ambition and embrace the "never-take-no-for-an-answer mentality. strength and masculinity are demonstrated through taking what you want without any regard for who you may hurt in the process or any law or ethical or moral standard. they consider people who play by the rules as suckers and compassion and conscience as weaknesses to be exploited or defeated with impunity. this ISN'T how john locke envisioned free-marketism or adam smith envisioned capitalism. but this is how the elite and other predators corrupted these ideas to perpetuate their power, prestige and privilege.

  180. just responding to the title of this video, before watching it, i'd say... YA, that's a real big problem! its called fraud! why is fraud NEVER prosecuted in this country? in many parts of the world, including the u. k., fraud is a SERIOUS thing! they'll get you for intentional misrepresentation, man! here, in america, its just considered accepted, standard operating procedure. A GREAT BUSINESS PLAN!

  181. there's nothing wrong with the 13 star flag. but our flag shouldn't be for sale and used for profiteering enterprises. but only in the U. S. is a damned stupid piece of cloth more important than what that piece of cloth is supposed to represent. screw the flag, the screw the fascist states of America, screw the corporate, elitist states of America and SCREW TRUMP! who, his entire life, has represented the anthesis of what MY country is supposed to stand for. screw the spineless democratic party, screw the fascist GOP, screw the elitist gay lobby that, with its BS "trans-gender fascism," has done as much to divide this country as the NRA and the evangelicals. screw the anti-abortion bigots, the pro-poverty morons, the profit-over-people twits and the ant-labor idiots and the millionaire labor leaders. screw the big business AND the big govt advocates and those on both sides who sit back and do NOTHING as the police-state tightens its strangle-hold on humanity. and screw the climate-change deniers as environmental disaster looms ever nearer. is there really anything to proud of in this country anymore! I WANT SANITY TO RETURN and I WANT MY FREEDOM!
    4
  182. here's the thing on political pardons. you're not supposed to be able to PRE-pardon people. pardons are to be issued AFTER the legal process has played out and a guilty verdict rendered. in other words you CAN'T pardon anyone from an investigation. but ford abused the pardon process and pre-pardoned Nixon and now everyone thinks pardons can be issued BEFORE conviction. just look at the historical record. i'll lay you odds that 100% of them were issued to people already found guilty and serving time. most of bush sr.'s pardons involved those already found guilty. so this whole idea that politicians can issue pardons for people for crimes they've never been convicted of is a COMPLETE fallacy and not based on any legal principle just like "executive privilege" and "you can't indict a sitting president." along with pre-pardons none of these concepts have any legal or lawful foundations.

  183.  @DonDeering  ... i'm not talking about a "good" kind of socialism, or "my" kind of socialism. i'm talking about socialism. ALL socialism is anti-elitist and democratic. if these two elements don't exist in your society then you haven't achieved socialism. don't let anyone tell you the lie that socialism is authoritarian or fascist. that's just a lie the elite tell to make us fear it. our rulers want us to FEAR what will FREE us from them. that's all there is to it.

  184. you all do realize that cina's so-called "great" economic success is the result of adopting a strictly consumer based, capitalist economy? ITS A FRAUD! they have as many millionaires as we do. there's NOTHING socialist about that. their elite have gotten richer at the expense of labor and the cosnumer just like all "modern" capitalist economies. they haven't axhieved anything but a grand, gracious capitalist/fascist state.

  185. I really think these discussions are quite pointless. you got 2 people yelling over each other and one of them is simply denying all the crimes committed by trump. old Julio Rivera is a collection agency compliance officer? that's about as low as you can go. that means he's a professional liar. like trump! I used to work for a collection agency's medical collections dept and know a lot of their scams. I never lied and i'm proud to confess not one dime was ever collected from my efforts. and they still offered me the management position for that dept which I declined because my conscience wouldn't allow me to continue to sink this low for a paycheck. after 3 months - got the hell out of that scam business and NEVER returned! julio is just a scammer like his hero trump.
    4
  186. you can say that again! carbon taxes was an idea presented by the oil companies so they could just keep right in polluting and pass the cost of the tax on to the consumer. not only a HORRIBLE IDEA but a total scam! here's a better and more efficient idea. make drilling for, spilling and using gas and oil for fuel a crime and enforce the damned law. stop kowtowing to the elite and doing EVERYTHING they demand. then you globally share - without debt - all the solar, wind and other non-polluting technologies with all other nations AND REDUCE THE HUIMAN brainwashed demand for and dependence on electricity, industrialization and technology. it ain't difficult, it ain't hard - YOU JUST DO THE DAMNED THING!

  187. "compete, compete, compete!" i'm so sick of hearing that malarky! progress is made through cooperation NOT CONFLICT! when you compete there's losers. and thos "losers" become jealous, envious and very ANGRY! competeion leads to animosity, suspicion, inequality and POVERTY! when humanity cooperates you'll create a world like we've never seen. no one's left out, no ones gets screwed, no one's left behind. there's no one to feel animosity, fear or hatred toward. WE ALL WIN! when we compete maybe a few win and the rest loses. a few individuals GAIN privilege, wealth and power and society bears the brunt of the corruption that results. compeition encourages theft, lying anf fraud. because that's a sure fire way to assure YOU WIN! fascists stress comptetition. a free and productive people stress the unity of cooperation.
    4
  188. there's not much that aggravates me more than our unjustice system. so many lives ruined made even worse by being punished for doing the right and BRAVE thing. this is just one reason among several why most crimes go unreported and often continue for years. people are afraid of defending themselves and no its more than likely they'll be blamed for their own abuse. there's only one way to dux this this.

  189. for those who didn't know hassan was a member of the Unification Church - a "Moonie" as they were called. the reality is almost everything is a cult. all social institutions, corporations, employers, govts and most people want to manipulate others to their liking, way of thinking or advantage. capitalism is a cult, all religions and atheism are cults. commercialism and consumerism are the tools of cults. a cult will promote both self interest and unity through comradery simultaneously to gain members. govts and social systems brainwash us from birth. WE'RE BORN INTO THESE CULTS! we're all brainwashed to one degree or another. some of us even brainwash ourselves. the question is - do you want to be brainwashed for good or evil? for cooperation or predation? for kindness and compassion or for hate and greed? for ethics or deception? FOR FREEDOM OR SLAVERY? in one of my equalism videos I openly admit I want to brainwash you but not for monovalent or selfish purposes but for benevolent and egalitarian purposes. it may sound like a contradiction but its not, YOU CAN CHOOSE which brainwashing path you follow - YOU CAN brainwash yourself NO TO BE A PREDATOR!

  190.  @jazzysophie9943  .. I can't be sure but I think Walt F. was referring to the insane trump cult. but trump also received American corporate help, Russian help (as you mentioned) and help from the media. and the dems themselves lent trump a hand by rigging their own nomination process against sanders, favoring clinton. many circumstances combined in helping trump steal the Whitehouse. but the result of all of it is trump ISN'T the legal president. winning a rigged election doesn't make you the winner. IMPEACH TRUMP! REMOVE TRUMP! and DEMAND the GOP follow the law and enforce the constitution!

  191. I think what pruit is saying in his own weasely little way is that the republicans who voted for trump knew he was corrupt and THAT'S WHY they voted for him. so instead of criticizing these voters and condemning them for their irresponsible voting he's making excuses for them because he wants their vote.

  194. excellent points. seriously though, did you think trump and hos co-conspirators would actually release the REAL conversation, in its entirety, voluntarily? trump's a seasoned, lifelong criminal. he's been using lawyers, family members and politicians to cover up his crimes for 40 years! and here another thing. the news media and, supposedly pollsters, keep telling id a vast majority of americans are AGAINST trump's impeachment. does anyone fall for this while trump maintains a nearly 60% to 65% DISapproval rating? something is wrong here. these numbers don't ass up!
    4
  195. my question concerning Dean is - since when was excitement over your own campaign a bad thing? it was the stupidest criticism yet the media pushed it ad nauseum. you also have to remember the media CREATED TRUMP! for 20 years he was constantly interviewed by tv and print "journalists" and talk shows, morning, noon and night, asking him his worthless opinion on politics and social issues and letting him hock his "business" scams. he was on entertainment tonight and the emmies, in the tabloids, and even on pro-wrestling. trump was a media-hound and shameless self-promoter and the media allowed him to use them to misrepresent himself as someone important and to create name recognition for himself. then when he was nearly broke, down and out, mark burnett and nbc, for some reason, actually gave this moron his own tv show. this allowed him to RE-brand his scandal-ridden name and misrepresent himself as some big-wheeling tycoon to a national audience. then, from the moment he announced his sham prez campaign, the media gave him still MORE unprecedented and unwarranted free air time. and since he stole the election the media continues to give trump free media coverage. NOW EVERYDAY IS THE INSANE TRUMP SHOW. there's no escaping it. and its all thanks to the national media that allowed a predator like trump FREE ACCESS to a national audience to promote and misrepresent himself.

  198. I moved to the Mojave desert 5 and a half years ago and this winter rain season we had more rain and colder temperatures on more days by far than I've ever seen in that entire time. we even had snow flurries on 4 separate occasions. the elite, in conjunction with scientists and engineers have brainwashed us to accept living out of balance with nature. for 200 years they've lied about the benefits of trading our natural balance and selling our souls and freedom in exchange for industrialization, technology, convenience, materialism, consumerism and the greedy, destructive pursuits of the almighty dollar. not only did we fall for it, WE'RE STILL FALLING FOR IT!  we AREN'T supposed to be living like this! wake up, STAND UP and take an active role in ENDING this insanity.

  199. its really very simple. not really as complicated as the elite would have us believe. ALL elitist systems are capitalist. ALL capitalist systems are authoritarian. and ALL authoritarian systems are fascist. humanity has been ruled by fascist, thus capitalist, authoritarian and elitist systems for the last 6000 years. the difference now is that technology has turned the traditional "authoritarian" state into a police state and the global elite are MORE UNIFIED and OPPRESSIVE than ever before. a fascist state, with a "modern" police and military apparatus, that's being slowly, but methodically, implemented throughout the world is what we face RIGHT NOW! WELCOME TO REALITY! and welcome to your PRESENT SLAVERY and the future slavery of your children!

  200. one thing the left and right have in common is that they're quick to criticize the elite on the other side while maintaining the elite on their side is pure and uncorrupted. the problem isn't the left elite or the right elite; the problem is THE ELITE! they cause and then exploit our divisions so they maintain power. they've repackaged and resold us the same old, failed ideas and lies for over 6000 years now and most of us still fall for this sham! to recognize this insane cycle is just the first step in becoming truly AWAKE!

  201. Ayn Rand greatly inspired the ultra-fascism of today's right, in all its incarnations. like rand, today's american fascists don't hate this country because its too fascist. they hate it because its not fascist enough. when reagan's fascism wasn't extreme enough for you, you know you're pretty damned fascists.

  202. actually the govt could LOWER taxes for the lower classes and easily achieve economic sanity in the U.S. all they need do is quit kowtowing to the elite and force them to give back to society 60-65% of the wealth they stole from it. NOBODY needs, earned or deserves a billion dollars or a $100 million for that matter. they acquired that wealth through overcharging consumers, underpaying employees, manipulating investment markets and tax breaks and govt contracts and subsidies. just make these thieves return the money they stole from the rest of us and American AND world poverty would be a thing of the past.
    4
  203. as long as the predators continue to corrupt our govt I don't see any of this happening BUT - we need to DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING! NO MORE CORPORATE OR GOVT SECRETS! "national security" is just a catch-all ruse that permits the govt to hide its crimes. and trump is the perfect of example. trump has avoided prison over the last 35 through SECRECY! and he brought that tactic to his so-called campaign and continues it in the Whitehouse. organized crime uses secrecy to its advantage as do serial killers and rapists, child molesters AND the elite and their corporations. what do you think forced arbitration and confidentiality agreements are all about? - keeping secrets and punishing whistleblowers. and trump has forced his entire staff to sign confidentiality agreements. this of course is ILLEGAL! trump keeps secret his taxes, his education records and his business history. he stashes away his conversation with foreign leaders and officials into a TOP-SECRET govt data base. SECRECY AND DEMOCRACY CAN'T CO-EXIST! if you really want freedom and govt and corporate accountability DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING!

  204. +Cynthia... yes, but its a conditioned, a taught character defect. there's a lot of greedy poor people but elitist greed is taught through the generations. handed down from parent to child as a birthright, an entitlement and an earned result of privilege.

  205. predation isn't inherent in our species. its a trained and conditioned trait. its the elite who claim human on human predation is our natural state. that's how they justify and rationalize their own predatory corruption, greed and fraud. in fact that's the traditional dichotomy of the left and right. the right believes humanity is inherently evil and needs a strong, authoritarian elitist system to rule us for our own protection from each other. and the left believes humans to be inherently cooperative, kind and egalitarian and its only this predatory system the elite force upon us that makes us otherwise. of course the latter is true. if humans were inherently predatory against other humans we would've slaughtered ourselves to extinction LONG before we built communities and domesticated plants. the elite have been lying to us and pitting us against each for over 6000 years! and our gullibility to continue to accept these elitist lies is also a conditioned response to elitist brainwashing.

  207. austerity just means punishing the lower classes for the mistakes of the elite while letting the elite keep their wealth and power. "oh oh - we really screwed up! boy, the rest of you are gonna really pay for that!" the system is set up so the elite profit no matter what. a boom economy - the elite profit. a bust economy - the elite profit. the right in power - the elite profit. the left in power - the elite profit. what many people fail to realize is that capitalism results in big business AND big govt! without big, corrupt govt to enforce the elitist will, there'd be no big, corrupt business to corrupt the govt to begin with. capitalism and free-marketism are 2 separate things. capitalism is the vicious cycle of elitist corruption of society and manipulation of humanity that's oppressed and enslaved us ALL for over 5000 years.

  208.  @thefarmersdaughter8235  ... you're talking about the 2007-08 financial collapse which began under Reagan's neo-liberal policies, was exacerbated when b. Clinton revoked the glass-steagall act with GOP urging and was intensified under 8 years of bush's insane economic policies which Obama inherited. Obama's efforts to counteract that crisis was just more neo-liberal insanity. now you know. so you can stop with your GOP initiated inaccurate assumptions and accusations.

  209. +shaded... the elite ARE the corporations and the corporations ARE the federal govt and trump IS the elite. the election was rigged FOR trump. why do you think the elite rigged the democratic primary so trump would face Clinton? sanders would've beat trump hands down. in fact trump even LOST to Clinton but the elite placed trump in the white house anyway! look, I supported Obama. but a week into his presidency he showed he was just another corrupt politician kowtowing to the elite. trump IS the elite. when are you trump fanatics going to admit he bamboozled you? he scammed YOU! its damned time you admit it and stop defending trump as some kind of victim! he's the victimizer NOT the victim.

  211. excellent points. this had been a common GOP tactic for decades. but that info wasn't revealed for years. actually, in the audio where trump addresses the U.N. staff, he says those who leaked the info to the whistleblower committed treason. he was instructing his staff to EXPOSE whistleblowing leakers. the whistleblower was told it's a common occurrence to falsely "classifying" as SECRET trump's conversations (phone and in-person) with almost EVERY ONE. its routine for trump to hold secret meetings with all kinds of people and in all kinds of ways. one way; they simply don't list the meeting on trump's itinerary. another way; no notes or record of the meeting is kept. a few years ago he held a "secret" meeting with putin where only interpreters were present that WE ALL knew about. this, in itself, was an IMPEACHABLE offense; a CRIME! yet NO ONE did anything about it! trump is a CRIMINAL! SECRECY is what criminals do! and it obviously applies to the entire GOP machine.

  212. I love this guy Taibbi. he did one of the best trump expose's that was featured on c-span's book reviews and can be found on "the film archives" channel (I think.) but its not the press that's dividing us but the elite who owns the mainstream news media. the elite on the left and right perpetuate social conflict pitting us against each other so THEY maintain their power. there's a new and innovative philosophy called equalism that's based upon this reality! you wanna stop this nonsense? stop playing the elitist game of divide and conquer. stop believing the so-called left and eight are mortal enemies. WE'RE NOT! fascists and anti-fascists are in mortal conflict for the future of human freedom and there are fascists and anti-fascists on BOTH sides. and many (most) of them can't even identify themselves correctly because of all the misinformation, lies and fire-hosing the fascist elite spew on a daily basis! watch my equalism channel if you ever want to actually end this INSANE perpetual cycle of conflict the elite have implemented over the last 6000 years!

  213.  @theodoreroberts3407  … yes, mcconnel and graham are definitely responsible for the blocking of any bi-lateral attempts at some kind of cooperation. but NO ONE and NOTHING is forcing the rest of the GOP from breaking ranks with these 2 and acting independently, following their conscience and enforcing federal law and the constitution. there have been times when the same could be said of the democrats - BUT CONCERNING TRUMP - this ISN'T one of those times. where trump is concerned its IMPERATIVE that the GOP members of congress put country, AND THE LAW, over party. IMPEACH TRUMP! REMOVE TRUMP! and demand the GOP enforce the law and the constitution!

  214. interesting observation. i think the rest of the world is in shock that trump could unleash such ENORMOUS corruption, chaos, turmoil and DEATH onto our country and no one is stopping him. yep, thanks to trump our country has become a reality tv show. and that's a very dangerous thing indeed. because "reality tv" is a FRAUD! and so is trump. i've been watching the trump INSANITY SHOW for over 40 years. and the plot hasn't changed one iota. its STILL all about trump's shameless greed and self promotion, him begging for attention and screaming - "LOOK AT ME! its all about me! ME! ME! ME! i'm special, i'm superior, i'm INFALLIBLE! LOOK AT ME! i lie, i rape, i steal, i don't pay taxes and i run business after business into bankruptcy - and i've gotten away with it for DECADES! I'M PERFECTION INCARNATE!" trump is SICKER THAN SHIT and he needs to be FORCIBLY removed from OUR whitehouse RIGHT NOW to prevent him from doing any more catastrophic damage to our country! ARREST THE TRAITOR ALREADY! isn't 210,000 dead americans enough? I SAY YES!

  215. its not only barr and the GOP who's ignoring the law and empowering trump its Pelosi, and other democrats like her and trump's entire cabinet and staff. when trump tells these people to break the law and ignore subpoenas they don't have to do as he says. for some strange and very dangerous reason these idiots are loyal to this gangster-doofus regardless of their sworn oaths to uphold the constitution and federal law. trump's election itself was illegal but the dems readily started calling this buffoon president on day one because to challenge the legitimacy of trump's claim to the office would require the dems to expose their own crimes. its like putin and the Russians gave trump dirt on all of them and trump's blackmailing them into submission. in order to bring trump to justice all of these people will have to expose crimes in their past they don't want exposed. nothing else explains all this unfounded loyalty and refusal to act as the law requires.

  216. slavery never ended. it was just redefined so we would no longer use the word to describe our reality. there's debt slavery, wage slavery, prison slavery and there's slavery to poverty. there's sex slavery, child slavery, spousal slavery and slavery of immigrants. there's slavery to greed, power and corruption. there's slavery all over the goddamned place. the redefinition and misuse of words is a common ploy among fascists. they've denounced the word "slavery" but still embrace its principles and practices under different names. just like many fascists now denounce the WORD fascism but still promote and support its practice and principles. for the last 25 years the fascists have used the internet to firehose the lie that hitler's Nazi's and Mussolini's fascists were socialists! FASCISTS LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING! they hide the truth behind their true intentions. they purposely hide their true goals because they know if they were to admit to them, the VAST majority of humanity would be appalled and reject them outright. trump IS the perfect example of this perpetual dishonesty. and his cult have followed the lead of their insane leader. and trump's GOP sycophants have been lying for decades and decades now. so, was it any wonder they so eagerly embraced trump! THE LYING KING!

  217. +Janusha… you're right. the soviet union, regardless of what their elite called it, was never socialist or communist for that matter. there's an obvious tell called elitism. socialism is strictly anti-elitist and since the soviets had a definite elitist hierarchy it was capitalist all the way. capitalism is elitism, a privilege based society. which is also fascist. so the soviets, Chinese and even the swedes are in fact capitalist - fascist states and no nation on earth has ever actually practiced REAL socialism. even many leftists don't understand this. they too are brainwashed by the capitalist lie that the soviets, and others, were somehow socialist.

  218. +Sterling... actually, your comment applies just as much to Adam Smith and Milton Friedman as to Marx. the left AND right has been spewing the same old, archaic nonsense for centuries now. equalism offers a new approach. the ANSWER is simplification not more ridiculous convolution and complication. the elitist "economists" continue to mistakenly associate free-marketism with capitalism and socialism with statism. and they're WRONG on both accounts.

  219. +lab... too many people incorrectly associates revolution with violence. peaceful revolution is the only way. and its completely possible. 2 things are needed - AND NEEDED QUICKLY. 1) we need a revolution of thought. a new and unique view of the world and our place in it. then we need to WAKE UP people to this new idea. equalism,, a fresh and innovative philosophy I founded, is THAT revolution of thought.

  220. yes, fascists have taken over state, local and national law enforcement and the military. these positions mainly only attract fascists and only fascists are encouraged to apply. what hartman is talking about is called a "mob mentality." and it has nothing to do with human nature. its a CORRUPTION of our true nature. through 6000 years of constant conditioning the elite has created a mentally ill HUMANITY! we've been brainwashed and conditioned to be predatory, violent, deceitful and GULLIBLE! the oligarchs have conditioned us to automatically respond to certain stimuli in a certain manner like "Pavlov's dog!" its called a "knee jerk" response and we've been conditioned for 1000's of years to JERK respond to certain buzz words, imagery and social settings like crowds. WE'RE CONDITIONED TO DO WHAT THE CROWD DOES! its called "blind conformity." it has nothing to do with human nature.

  221. if Chomsky was saying the education system is just one big corporate propaganda, conditioning and training system designed to perpetuate elite power and control - can't argue with that. kind of makes you wonder why the elite want to restrict access. part of the reason is PROFITS from the loan sharking and usury industries. and the debt accrued enslaves the people even more.
    4
  222. +Big... right on. and socialism had never been tried nationally either. both systems, and free-marketism as well, are STRICTLY anti-elitist. you can't have an elite hierarchy, an oligarchy, and be anything other than capitalist. capitalism and free-marketism are in fact 2 different things. there's NOTHING free under capitalism; not markets or anything else. adam smith was a proponent of capitalism but john locke founded free-marketism to equalize society and challenge the divine right of the elite.

  223. I just saw a thumbnail for video posted by fox saying "trump's HISTORIC Lincoln memorial speech." its historic alright but not for the reasons fox claim. it was historically non-traditional and illegal. it amounted to a $25 million campaign speech with the tax-payers paying the bill. trump, the moron, claims there's not enough money to provide these illegals with basic human needs but there's enough money for the taxpayers to fund trump's re-election campaign. I don't support illegal immigration in the slightest but I also know its the govt's fascist foreign policy creating this mass migration. giving these people privileged entry into our country ISN'T the solution. but abusing them while they're in custody isn't the solution either. demanding a return to a SANE and compassionate foreign policy IS the solution.

  224. its virtually impossible to commit suicide while in custody. my theory is Epstein isn't dead. he's been sprung from prison orchestrated by the likes of trump. Clinton and all the rest of Epstein's deviant elitist buddies. these elite DIDN'T want any kind of trial or testimony to become public record. with the wealth and power these corrupt elite wield Epstein's covert release wouldn't be unprecedented or beyond the realm of probability. his first suicide attempt was a ruse. to create the belief in the possibility. and from there its simple indeed to merely switch him with a lookalike. who's gonna know and few would even care. it would actually be just as easy as killing him. only a few guards and a few select CIA operatives would need to be involved and the coroner, who never met Epstein, wouldn't know the difference. epstein is probably living it up in the south of france under an assumed name right now. REMEMBER, you heard it here first.

(the liberal elite have their own protectors.) I hadn't heard that part that "an unidentified associate claimed his body." that's in fact illegal. to claim the body of any deceased person REQUIRES proof of legal responsibility and must be a matter of public record. so this definitely adds credence to our theory. thanks for the info.

  228. i'm afraid, thanks to the elite on the right and left, the only direction America and the world are headed is straight DOWN - to HELL! economic and climate disasters will lead to more civil unrest which is the only excuse the elite need to clamp down with their global corporate police-state. digitized money, bodily inserted micro-chips and the "smart" grid will be installed to track your every move, your every word, and eventually, your every thought. absolute human dependence on over-priced corporate technology will enslave us all. and the youth, who's been conditioned, through advertising, commercialization and fire-hosing, to EMBRACE this slavery since birth, more and more with each successive generation, will just accept and even welcome this police-state for its security, convenience and because its shiny and sparkly. climate change is being ignored for a reason. unfettered MONEY in politics and corporate control of the media has happened for a reason! fascism and neo-liberal economics are taking over the world for a reason. and the reason is ITS WHAT THE ELITE WANT! its what they need to drive the final nails into the coffin of freedom, individuality, independent thought and human rights! its time we WAKE UP and FIGHT or the future of humanity will be very grim indeed!

  229. i'm there. but trying to motivate your "average" american to actually stand up and DEMAND their own rights is like pulling teeth. and, like the right, the left's elite has got the left so discombobulated they'll go ape-shit over identity politics or some nonsensical, pointless insanity, but ignore the REAL ISSUES and even betray they're traditional principles. i've been a devoted antifascist for some 50 years. imagine my disappointment and sense of betrayal as, over those decades, i saw some leftists take a hard right and others adopt fascist tactics under an anti-fascist banner. the GOP is definitely the biggest threat to the u. s. right now. but the democrats let them "slide" over and over and the comlen are too distracted by corporate products; technology, bread and circuses" to give a damn. if the GOP don't turn us fascist the democrats will. we americans are TRULY SCREWED!

I only singled out winfrey to demonstrate, when it comes right down to it, the liberal elite are no different than the conservative elite. elitism warps one's sense of reality and creates a fantasy bubble around them. its the only way they can rationalize their own opulent lifestyles and privilege.

  231. oh, and by the way, I was never a regular oprah viewer. I would catch her saying this nonsense as I channel surfed. so, for me to catch her saying this as often as I did only suggests she probably said it even more often than I saw. but you know what the audience would do whenever she uttered this absurdity? they'd all applaud in agreement. NOW THERE'S THE REAL INSANITY RIGHT THERE.

  232. … trump has also negated the CIA, as Hartmann mentions in this video, the DOJ where Barr refuses to open ANY investigations into or enforce the law regarding trump, the FBI who're now afraid to do their jobs from fear of trump ordered reprisals, the IRS, when it pertains to HIS taxes, the military leadership that he berated into submission and he even browbeat the fed chairman to lower interests rates for HIS political benefit. and just the other day he THREATENED the senate GOP AGAIN to stay loyal to him or he'd "have their heads on a pike!" damn these idiots STILL act like they FEAR trump! when what they need to be doing is joining forces AGAINST trump. I just saw 2 documentaries on the rise of Mussolini and Hitler and I see something VERY similar here. the elected legislatures and the bureaucrats have LOST CONTROL over the govt and are bending to every command, every threat issued by trump! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!

  233.  @kakumee  … I appreciate tour interest. I too have been fascinated by history and have done a lot of self study. enough to accurately call myself a historian. right now i'm watching several videos on both Albert Speer, hitler's personal architect, and the Crusades. but you don't need any links from me. youtube has a search bar at the top of each page. simply enter whatever subject your interested in and push the search button. you can find info on everything from Japanese feudalism to Sumerian mythology to Napoleon. be forewarned. not all the info is 100% accurate so watch several videos on any one subject to get a clearer picture of the truth. and don't forget websites like wikipedia and others, to help broaden your info even further. I've found the full text of Hammurabi's Code and the Magna Carta online. quite interesting stuff. did you know the Magna Carta, written in 1215, states - that justice could not be sold? and just a few years ago the U. S. supreme handed down the Citizen's United decision making political bribery legal. the Magna Carta tried to abolish absolute power while the Supreme Court is defending it. maybe one day humanity will actually LEARN from history.

  245. YES... all life long govt appointments need term limits. for the supreme court 15 year limits at 2 year intervals. that way each REAL president gets to select at least 2 justices per their term and no single president can have an effect on the court that lasts for decades! a 10 year limit for appellate judges and 7 years for all other federal judges. also, the revolving door for other appointed political offices must end as well. we have political appointees going from corporate boardrooms to govt positions at will. and they wield more power than ANY elected politician. this would be only a first step to cleaning up our govt but a MUCH needed and long over due step!

  246. I wish people would stop confusing trump's support with populism. at least 50% of trump's support comes from a blind and misguided allegiance and loyalty to the GOP. most people defend trump not because they like him but because the GOP leadership has embraced him. and that leadership has sold their souls to the trump cult ONLY because he stole the white house for the GOP!
    3
  247. just trump occupying the white house is treason being that he isn't president and was never duly elected. the coup that put him in the white house was treason and those elite behind the coup committed treason as well. trump actually lost that election to Clinton who lost her primary to sanders. that ENTIRE election cycle was rigged and stinks to high heaven. the question remains; why is this buffoon still being allowed to pretend to be president?

  248. mark burnett, the tv producer, helped tremendously in creating and perpetuating the trump myth that he's a great and successful businessman. when actually trump made VERY VIEW decisions regarding that fraud-tv show. like all tv-reality shows IT WAS SCRIPTED. there was nothing real about it. A TOTAL FANTASY that trump exploited to steal 2 prez elections with the help of putin, fox news, steve bannon and q-anon. also trump exploited the internet and social media to help sell the lie that he was smart and successful. the apprentice tv-show also revitalized TRUMP'S FAILING WEALTH! trump was practically broke before that sham tv-show. he made 100s of millions off that show just from his salary. tv and social media both created the BIGGEST FRAUD CULTURE in human history and trump IS THE RESULT!

  249. the reality is NO ONE wants to become a minority. no one wants to BE a minority. it used to be immigration was limited and controlled. people who immigrated GLADLY assimilated, adopting the same language and culture of the country they were immigrating to. but today immigration has gone BERZERK with little respect for immigration laws or limitations. the immigrants seem to DEMAND the countries their immigrating to assimilate TO THEM! they refuse to adopt the language or respect the traditions and culture of their adopted country. they purposely separate themselves from mainstream society and form and gravitate towards communities of their own kind. this creates animosity and divisions within countries. unfettered and lawless immigration CREATES FASCISM! there's a reason the GOP and dems haven't resolved the problem of illegal and mass immigration over the last 70 years. it because they BOTH exploit immigrants and the domestic divisions they cause for political purposes. THEY WANT US DIVIDED so they maintain power! jesus and Lincoln BOTH said - a house divided cannot stand. and the elite are hoping the divisions created by mass immigration DIVIDES us so we CANNOT UNITE and stand against them.

  250. it was the germans pushing austerity on these countries. i always wondered why Greece, Italy and spain didn't tell the germans to just go to hell back at the beginning of the EU. the idea of the EU was to create a European trading block similar to that of north America, Canada, the u. s. and mexico to better compete with larger nations like Russia, china and india. the idea WASN'T to force the nations to lose their autonomy and stop representing the will of their people!

I've never called that POS president because HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! that election was rigged from top to bottom. we should've taken to the streets. but no. they all just stuck their thumbs up their butts, whined and complained and started calling trump "president." it was absolutely disgusting. the left is spineless and completely devoid of dedication and commitment. Mary, it WON'T stop! because americans are too busy buying their over-priced, corporate police-state products. they're too busy being slaves and accruing overwhelming debt to pay for these pointless and stupid products. they're too busy being manipulated, herded and apathetic. they're too busy DOING what their told and playing the elitist game.

  256. ​ @heidihokes7789  ... there is a way out of this mess. its called "equalism." the problem here is that the elite on BOTH sides strive for social divisions. they promote INSANE extremes they KNOW the other side won't like. animosity and conflict are their goals because that's how they stay in power. i don't want to be oppressed by the "left" anymore than i want to be oppressed by the "right." this is where equalism comes in. it protects the rights of BOTH the left and right while giving neither side authority over the other. equalism protects INDIVIDUAL rights not the rights of one group over another. equalism says - "the only way to achieve peace is through a deep abiding respect for the rights of others." it returns SANITY back to society. equalism is THE philosophy of UNITY, INCLUSION, common decency and common sense. its PURELY an anti-fascist philosophy. it rejects, OUTRIGHT, the fascism coming from BOTH sides! you want to change the world? FIRST - change yourself! how do you expect the WHOLE WORLD to change if you're unwilling to change YOURSELF? so, watch my equalism channel to learn more. a better world IS POSSIBLE! all we gotta do is dedicate our lives to it and DO IT!

NO WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING and/or nobody wants to their jobs! or they think their jobs give them the right to ABUSE people! and there's NO WHERE for the victims of this abuse, apathy, incompetence, malfeasance, corruption and criminal behavior to turn! the reality is AMERICANS HAVE NO RIGHTS and its wayyyyy past time for a damned REVOLUTION!

YES, YES and YES AGAIN! the GOP has become the treason party and it MUST be dealt with accordingly - as a fascist, terrorst, treasonous organization. what did germany do to the nazi party after wwll? the criminalized it on the basis of its treason, violence and fraud. just like the GOP today. we damned well better follow the lessons germany learned 50 years ago! any org that supports treason, violence, fraud and corruption must be shut down and prosecuted. the question is - do the dems have the ethical backbone to do the right thing? they haven't yet!

  262.  @theswiftschoolofselfhealing  ... and there's a question that must be asked. why were all the traitors just allowed to leave and go home after the riot. the cops and the national guard should've surrounded the perimeter of the capital building and arrested EVERYONE inside. its been 9 months since and they're still tracking down all the criminals involved! the d. c. cops and national guard were clearly following the illegal orders of trump that day. furthermore trrump should've been arrested the same day as the others. trump and EVERYONE one of his co-conspirators REMAIN FREE! and they continue to spread lies, commit fraud and encourage people to support and defend their treason! AND MAKE TONS OF MONEY OFF THEIR TREASON AND VIOLENCE! its been nearly a year now and the FBI, DOJ, homeland secxurity and the house commitee are all dragging their feet. WHY? there's definately something EXTREMELY wrong here.

  263. the very IDEA of 'executive privilege" is a lie! IT DOESN'T EXIST ANYWAY in the constitution or the law. (nor should it.) its just, yet another, something someone just made up and its become illegally accepted as policy. we have the WRONG people ruling us. they are the least deserving among us. when was the last time you saw a POOR PERSON running for election or holding a seat in ANY legislature? NEVER! it has NEVER HAPPENED! our rich rulers tell us you have to be rich to rule in this country. after all, the poor are shiftless and lazy and can't be trusted. our world is upside down and inside out. its crumbling, disintegrating before our very eyes. and we sit here and do NOTHING! WHY?

DAMN ALL OF YOU! there's no way "pewdie-pie" got more votes than me! i want my award! i know, i'll pull a trump and just declare MYSELF the winner! the whole election was fraudulent, i demand 5,000 recounts and 120 lawsuits! i'll take my defeat to the supreme court! they'll fix the election for me.

  265. did you hear what the n. Carolina GOP state "legislatures" pulled yesterday? they pulled an unquestionable act of public FRAUD to override a governor veto of the GOP penned state budget. i'm not a big democrat fan but the GOP is absolutely THE most corrupt, amoral and underhanded institution in this country. they lie cheat and steal to further their agenda. there's NO level too low to which they aren't willing to stoop to get their way.

  266.  @spiritsbeyondthestars3493  ... yes. by denying legislation to even come to a vote mcconell is acting like the dictator of the senate. he's way overstepping his bounds of authority. that's wasn't the idea when the writers of the constitution came up with the idea of a bicameral legislature.

  267. recently our taxes have been used to fulfil the delusional agenda of a madman and traitor. its called a "mob mentality." and it has nothing to do with human nature. its a CORRUPTION of our true nature. through 6000 years of constant conditioning the elite has created a mentally ill HUMANITY! we've been brainwashed and conditioned to be predatory, violent, deceitful and GULLIBLE! the oligarchs have conditioned us to automatically respond to certain stimuli in a certain manner like "Pavlov's dog!" its called a "knee jerk" response and we've been conditioned for 1000's of years to JERK respond to certain buzz words, imagery and social settings like crowds. WE'RE CONDITIONED TO DO WHAT THE CROWD DOES! its called "blind conformity." it has nothing to do with human nature.

  268. abdi wasn't real clear there. did he say that Gaetz and the GOP put a provision in the recent defense bill that trump COULDN'T arbitrarily go to war with iran? and then he said the dems "caved" and allowed the provision to be included. that makes no sense. thom, could you please clarify Abdi's statement? uummm, I wonder why trump, the conman, decided to issue this Iranian attack now? during an election year? with his poll numbers decreasing and a senate trial looming? war and/or some baseless but deliberate military action against a perceived enemy is always a good way to raise your poll numbers. it looks like we may be in for a pretty bloody 2020 as trump becomes more unstable and more desperate. which is why WE MUST DEMAND trump be removed ASAP!

  269.  @robinsss  ... do you realize the word "libertarian" means socialist throughout history and the world? socialists refer to themselves as libertarians because socialism LIBERATES humanity from the shackles of capitalist slavery and elitist greed. after wwll, a bunch of rich american fascists, including rand, got to together to REbrand the word to mean unrestricted laissez-faire capitalism. IN REALITY, it has nothing to do with "maxamizing personal liberty." like fascism, it has everything to do with "social darwinism." so-called "survival of the fittest." the most ruthless and ammoral prosper and thrive. and its their wealth that demonstrates their superiority and gives them the right to rule. THAT'S HITLER! mussolini, stalin and mao. AND RAND! thse people weren't socialists. they were fascists who believed they had a right to rule BECAUSE of their brutality and corruption. and with little or no govt, or without democracy, these predators have urestricted power. libertarians DON'T believe in small govt. THAT'S JUST A LIE they spread to convert fools to their cause. they want the govt to get out of THEIR WAY, not your way. slavery through social darwinism is the basis of american libertarianism. its fascist through and through.

  272. this actually illegal. it was criminal fraud making the vote invalid. the n. carolina dems need to call this what is and act accordingly. the governor needs to declare the vote unconstitutional, issue arrest warrants and prosecute the GOP members who perpetrated this crime. its not difficult. ENFORCE THE DAMNED LAW! its called violation of "good faith," breach of promise, misrepresentation and FRAUD! politicians and political organizations are the ONLY profession allowed to commit blatant and obvious lie after lie, fraud after fraud and get away with it. I think its damned time to put an end to this accepted practice and double standard.

  273. +Gwenna… excellent point. the u.s. has about the only system in the world where a person who illegally obtains office, like trump, can't be removed accept, perhaps, at the next "election" cycle. in which case incumbents are almost guaranteed to be "reelected." so, criminals are allowed to hold office almost indefinitely. trump has been "investigated" for over 2 years now. his crimes before and after stealing the white house are well documented. will anything ever come of it? and even when they leave office they're just pardoned for their crimes and later praised in their old age and honored at death. we got one messed up idea of govt here in this country.

THEY'RE the problem. what do you think?

  275. while the U.S. elite are adding coloring, artificial flavoring, anti-biotics, fluoride, fats, salts and sugars to the genetically modified foods they force us to buy they're pumping our brains full of mind numbing man made, highly over priced and profitable pharmaceuticals to pacify and control us. too many of us have been convinced science, technology and modern medicine are miracle cures for all of societies ills. but its ALL a commercial, public relations, one BIG scam! and kids are the major target for this marketing because they're gullible enough to fall for it and they grow up accepting it ALL as just normal and the way things are supposed to be.

  276. ... I just read an article where the far right media has already initiated their campaign to discover the whistleblower's identity and start a smear and terror campaign against the person. on many pro-trump, fascist websites they've already commenced making unfounded accusations against many different people. THESE PEOPLE ARE TRULY SICK AND TWISTED! just like their cult hero trump.

  277. we can't take our country or our constitution back because they never belonged to us to begin with. but we can take our country away from the fascists and the elite. but as long as the middle class continues to sleep and just accept whatever corruption and crimes the elite inflict upon them, we will sink deeper and deeper into this dystopian nightmare. the middle class is the key and, so far, they comply with and fall for whatever scam their elite masters dangle in front of them.

  279. the FULL  Ken Starr report on b. Clinton was released within days. its more than obvious that trump and his campaign accepted whatever help from the Russian oligarchs they could get. there WAS a coordinated conspiracy by the American and Russian elite to put trump in the white house. they knew trump would be their puppet, perpetuate and intensify social divisions and be a major distraction from the REAL issues and problems facing americans. and that's precisely what trump has done. he's fulfilling his role very well.

  280. "compete, compete, compete!" i'm so sick of hearing that malarky! progress is made through cooperation NOT CONFLICT! when you compete there's losers. and thos "losers" become jealous, envious and very ANGRY! competeion leads to animosity, suspicion, inequality and POVERTY! when humanity cooperates you'll create a world like we've never seen. no one's left out, no ones gets screwed, no one's left behind. there's no one to feel animosity, fear or hatred toward. WE ALL WIN! when we compete maybe a few win and the rest loses. a few individuals GAIN privilege, wealth and power and society bears the brunt of the corruption that results. compeition encourages theft, lying anf fraud. because that's a sure fire way to assure YOU WIN! fascists stress comptetition. a free and productive people stress the unity of cooperation.

  281. let's face it; we americans live in a lawless society. laws are rarely and selectively enforced. the elite have been given license (they've licensed themselves) to break laws at will, write the laws, determine how they'll be applied or whether they'll be applied at all! its truly a society run by criminals for the benefit of criminals. btw - trump ISN'T even president and he hasn't been arrested and prosecuted yet. the elite DON'T care about ANY damned law! we NEED a revolution. that's the ONLY way any of these thigs will ever face any penalty for the crimes they've committed.

  282. first we MUST stop calling trump president. HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! he didn't win any election. the white house was handed to him through a coup, a fixing and rigging of the electoral process. the evidence is EVERYWHERE! THIS IS A FACT! everyone calling this traitor president is guilty of FIRE-HOSING! - the act of repeating a lie often enough people begin to believe the lie! so, do us all a favor, accept reality. the U.S. was the victim of a coup d'etat. so, stop fire-hosing the lie that this criminal is president.

  283. +Harry... doing nothing, that's NOT an option. trump is a LIFE-LONG criminal who's criminal activities are well documented over the last 35 years! solicitation and use pf prostitutes is a felony. what? you think daniels screwed him for free? and paying hush money is a crime. trump admitted on video to assaulting women and many women have come forward. tax fraud is a crime. business fraud is a crime. he admitted to bribing public officials on national tv during the GOP debates. he's been committing ALL these crimes for DECADES! and then there's his using political office for personal financial gain. his constant lies on twitter and in speeches. its still illegal to lie for personal gain, its called fraud and extortion. THIS IS A CAREER CRIMINAL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT! and Pelosi refuses to impeach with over 35 years of evidence? i'd say something is wrong here!
    3
  284. +harry... you're making the same mistakes that so many make. impeachment is a process not a result. the dams should've started impeachment proceedings on day one. if that failed do it again and again. and since trump never legally won any election they should've called for national protests, national strikes and national action to keep him from ever taking possession of the white house. its damned time someone in this govt start acting responsibly. but the dems are just as corrupt as the GOP! they're in on the scam. to impeach trump they'd have to expose and admit to their own corruption and fraud; like how they rigged their primary against sanders. the whole system is one big scam. no one will do what's right out of fear of exposing their own wrongs. we don't need a civil war in this country - we need a revolution. but americans are too pathetic and apathetic to ever admit this truth. thus we'll be stuck with trump another 4 years, a deteriorating global climate and a more powerful police state.

  285. i think the rest of the world is in shock that trump could unleash such ENORMOUS corruption, chaos, turmoil and DEATH onto our country and no one is stopping him. yep, thanks to trump our country has become a reality tv show. and that's a very dangerous thing indeed. because "reality tv" is a FRAUD! and so is trump. i've been watching the trump INSANITY SHOW for over 40 years. and the plot hasn't changed one iota. its STILL all about trump's shameless greed and self promotion, him begging for attention and screaming - "LOOK AT ME! its all about me! ME! ME! ME! i'm special, i'm superior, i'm INFALLIBLE! LOOK AT ME! i lie, i rape, i steal, i don't pay taxes and i run business after business into bankruptcy - and i've gotten away with it for DECADES! I'M PERFECTION INCARNATE!" trump is SICKER THAN SHIT and he needs to be FORCIBLY removed from OUR whitehouse RIGHT NOW to prevent him from doing any more catastrophic damage to our country! ARREST THE TRAITOR ALREADY! isn't 210,000 dead americans enough? I SAY YES!

  286. medicare sux. we don't want medicare 4 all. we want national health care. NO ONE LIKES THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES! and that includes the auto, home or medical insurance companies. insurance companies make their money through denial of care, through overselling you insurance you don't need or underselling you insurance YOU DESPERATELY NEED! the insurance industry is one of the most HATED and MISTRUSTED industries in the world! for the MSM and dem candidates to continue to misrepresent and demonize national health care is the perfect example of far-right, pro-insurance industry fear mongering. good job in promoting the agenda of the corrupt, profiteering insurance companies. the solution is simple: you raise corporate and elitist taxes to fair and reasonable levels, reduce the military budget, increase middle class taxes by about a $100 a year, ELIMINATE sky-high insurance premiums, deductibles and co-pay and you receive FULL medical coverage in return. this is what 100's of nations, both big and small, rich and poor, do right now and guess what? THEIR COUNTRIES AREN'T BEING DESTROYED! but not in backward, medieval America! OH MY GAWD! damn socialism will kill us ALL! providing universal healthcare is SATANIC and DESTRUCTIVE! you damn stupid fools. wake the hell up!

  287.  @CaliCaroline  ... so glad to hear someone accepting reality for once. its so rare, its depressing. you should experience the attacks i endure, from the LEFT and RIGHT, for exposing these truths. it hurts, but i won't stop. i'll keep doing what's right regardless of the illogical, destructive and insane fanatical fascism of others.
    3
  288. ALSO, ordering people to defy subpoenas is witness tampering. telling them what they can and cannot say in their testimony is witness tampering. and the whole idea behind "executive privilege," which ISN'T in the constitution or mentioned in any federal law, is just a means to allow presidents (TRUMP, IN FACT, IS NOT PRESIDENT, the mueller probe proved that, but he occupies the white house anyway) to cover their crimes under a veil of secrecy. secrecy has NO place in a democracy OR republic. loyalty to ANYTHING other than the constitution AND the American people, their freedom and their RIGHT to know, is in fact fascism and we've had fascism here in the U. S. for many years. oligarchies, elitist privilege and fascism are ALL the same thing!

  289.  @NotShowingOff  ... yes, i agree. the right and the GOP have gotten to the point where they really don't care about anything anymore but wealth and power.

  291. +cool... I was just thinking about accumulation limits myself just earlier today. I was thinking we should NOT limit profits just the amount of profit any individual or business could keep. all profits that exceed a certain amount, say $50 million, would go back to the society that helped produce those profits. put it all into a general fund - 10% would go to the govt and the rest would be evenly shared among the adult citizens or households. at the end of each tear the ENTIRE nation would receive a christmas bonus of equal value! the rich couldn't complain because they'd stay rich and we'd all benefit from the economic success of our country. of course this is a capitalist solution which is the point! there are MANY capitalist solutions but capitalism itself seems to vilify any attempts at reform. but it is an interesting thought though isn't it?
    3
  292. its really very simple. not really as complicated as the elite would have us believe. ALL elitist systems are capitalist. ALL capitalist systems are authoritarian. and ALL authoritarian systems are fascist. humanity has been ruled by fascist, thus capitalist, authoritarian and elitist systems for the last 6000. the difference now is that technology has turned the traditional "authoritarian" state into a police state and the global elite are MORE UNIFIED and OPPRESSIVE than ever before. a fascist state, with a "modern" police and military apparatus, that's being slowly, but methodically, implemented throughout the world is what we face RIGHT NOW! WELCOME TO REALITY! and welcome to your PRESENT SLAVERY and the future slavery of your children!

  293. these trump fanatics belong to a cult. and the GOP leadership have joined that cult. a third of the cult deny every crime their cult leader commits. a third of the cult know his crimes but don't care. and a third of the cult know his crimes and PRAISE him for them. and the GOP are doing the exact same thing. they see any criticism or exposure of the criminality of their cult leader as treason and just ignore. they simply deny that his crimes ever occurred. meanwhile trump defies legal subpoenas and turned the attorney general into his own personal henchman and enforcer. And barr accepts this role with unprecedented enthusiasm. he's launched his own unprecedented investigation into his political opponents without the authority to do so. and for some reason idiots continue to follow his orders although they have the personal choice and the legal obligation not to. trump's doing whatever the hell he wants do and the GOP is empowering him and the dems are ignoring this insanity. all involved act like they're afraid of this twit. like putin handed trump some dirt on all of them and he's blackmailing them into submission. nothing else explains this absolutely unwarranted behavior, irrational loyalty and fear on both sides of the aisle. trump's insane, paranoid, megalomaniacal despotism is growing worse with each passing day. he's making one unilateral, illegal decision after another. this is SERIOUS! this is worse than Nixon and Reagan. the next step is being taken RIGHT NOW to establish a fascist take-over of our government! we're witnessing the dismantling of the division of powers and our constitutional government before our very eyes. and no steps are being taken to stop it!

  294. I've been hearing threats of civil war from trump supporters since before his theft of the white house. I hear it about 3 or 4 times a month from one damned nut or another. my life has been personally threatened over 10 times. these are trump cultists; and they're sick and twisted just like any cult members. their sense of reality is corrupted. they are willing to kill for their cult leader. there's at least one way to stop these maniacs. IMPEACH TRUMP NOW! because the chances are in another pseudo-election the elite will fix another election in his favor and this country CANNOT endure 4 more years of this criminal pretending to be president. but guess what? the  dems WON'T impeach him! so be prepared for a combination of disasters in the near future - increasing effects of climate change, a ever more powerful police-state and more violent civil unrest from the fascist trump cult.

  295. union "leadership" is part of the problem. the highest paying job, with the best benefits, I ever had was a union job. but MOST workers didn't trust the union. and the union really was shifty and corrupt. i was a union steward and I became LEGENDARY. people who I didn't represent came to ME instead of their actual union reps. why? because I got things done. I represented the workers AND the union contract and held the union leadership's feet to the fire to ENFORCE the contract! the union betrayed me and within 18 months I was GONE! union leadership is corrupt. dues are TOO damned high. union members DON'T pay dues so its national leaders can rake in million dollar salaries. so enforce your contracts, lower your dues and limit the absurd salaries of your union leaders and just see how quickly union membership rises in this country.

  296. there's no such thing as authoritarian socialism. socialism is impossible without democracy. capitalism is economic fascism and fascism is political capitalism. one can't exist without the other. socialism is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism. one can't exist without the other. the elite lie about socialism because they fear what will free us from them.

  299. interesting distinction. fascism IS a cult. the Italian fascista and the Nazi's were both cults that centered around the personalities of Mussolini and hitler. not unlike the republican party has with Reagan and trump. but the democrats did it too with FDR and kennedy. let's face it. American politics and economics derives its authority and power from CULTISM! America has become a nation of cults and terror!

  300.  @65minimom  … yep, something is wrong alright and its called TRUMP! like I said in my comment 800 prosecutors said trump committed obstruction crimes during the mueller investigation that warranted criminal indictment and prosecution. and he's doing the EXACT same thing NOW! he solicited foreign dirt on a political opponent and obstructed the investigation into that crime. this is the SECOND time he'd done BOTH! these acts would put you and me in prison. but trump should be given a FREE pass? why? do you really believe its a good idea to ignore such crimes, AND MANY OTHERS, leaving the door open for future "presidents" to commit the same crimes? impeachment isn't a "dead-end". its an ethical REQUIREMENT and constitutional obligation. as for Pelosi, she and the dems are FINALLY doing what's right. and I, for one, applaud them for it. and the American people appear to be in favor of these efforts as well. I support them 100%!

  303. +Suzi… he was caught many times. but like all the elite he bought his way out of trouble. when the elite commit fraud and theft its called shrewd business. they get richer for doing what would land the rest of in jail. his so-called "university" was proven to be a scam, its well known he's cheated on his taxes for decades, he admitted to bribing govt officials on live tv during the republican debates, he's hired illegal immigrants (hell, he married one who's now playing first lady), he uses the courts to attack his accusers and he admitted on tape to sexual assault, but these are things ALL the elite do. and they get away with it because the elite has set up a 2 tired justice system; one for them and another for the rest of us.

  304. the caller; trump - "i can't stand the man." I hear that!!!!! every time I see him, hear him, hear of him I get physically ill! every time the media AND democrats call him "Mr . P resident" it makes me mad as hell because he isn't president and whenever ANYONE who calls him that goes to legitimizing this criminal's illegal occupation of the white house. my disdain for this total buffoon has nothing to do with politics but character. trump could've come out in support id everything I hold dear and I still would've denounced the habitual life long scum bag! because character matters to me as much as policy. I wonder how many dems would've supported trump had he promoted a leftist agenda. after all they did support BOTH Clintons!! (although both Clintons were despicable people trump takes America's political corruption to a whole new level!)

  305. funny, i just saw a hartmann video where he claims the left doesn't support unrestrained immigration and yet here he is defending illegal immigrants AGAIN! fear is a GOOD thing. its one of the natural instincts that keeps us alive. its unwarranted fear, manipulated fear and being in a constant state of fear that does us harm. when it comes to mass, unrestrained, unneeded and unwanted immigration, illegal or not, there's a lot to TRULY fear. here's the reality; NO society has remained stable when its invaded by foreigners. the influx of foreigners ALWAYS causes conflict and divisions and often destroys the very cohesion REQUIRED to keep society functional, this immigration INSANITY could've been fixed 75 years ago by the leaders on left and right! its been allowed to worsen and intensify to keep us distracted and divided. we're being played and both sides are exploiting these immigrants and US for the advantage of the elite. unrestrained immigration is CREATING a rise in fascism and must be stopped!

  306. as is well known in psychology the more you repeat a lie the more people are likely to begin to believe. its called "firehosing" and its not only a tactic used by trump but one used about trump. trump ISN'T president! he wasn't duly, officially, legally or constitutionally elected to anything! but the more people and the media call him "president" the more people tend to believe it. SO STOP CALLING HIM PRESIDENT! I remember after trump's appointment to the white house so many people were saying - "he's not my president!" but it wasn't long before many of these same people started calling this criminal president. I swear - people just continually fall for the same scams OVER and OVER AGAIN! WAKE UP you stupid idiots. you've been had and you're being played!

  308. i've been experiencing something very strange lately. i just turned 62 and for the last few years i'll have memories triggered from seeing random colors, color combinations and even textures and "effects." the memories are very vague and always either emotionally neutral or very pleasant. but i can never pinpoint an exact memory. at most i recall a simple overview of a vague experience or activity i was experiencing ALMOST ALWAYS from the distant past, my early childhood. the memories are completely dominated by the colors or textures that triggered them. i've never experienced anything like this before. it doesn't worry me but i'm curious if anyone else might be experiencing something similar.

  309. I moved to the Mojave desert 5 and a half years ago and this winter rain season we had more rain and colder temperatures on more days by far than I've ever seen in that entire time. we even had snow flurries on 4 separate occasions. the elite, in conjunction with scientists and engineers have brainwashed us to accept living out of balance with nature. for 200 years they've lied about the benefits of trading our natural balance and selling our souls and freedom in exchange for industrialization, technology, convenience, materialism, consumerism and the greedy, destructive pursuits of the almighty dollar. not only did we fall for it, WE'RE STILL FALLING FOR IT!  we AREN'T supposed to be living like this! wake up, STAND UP and take an active role in ENDING this insanity.

  311. oh boy do i! joe mccarthy's fascist buddy and trump's mentor. extortion is "the obtaining of property... with consent induced by a wrongful use of ... fear ... or under the color of official right" and yes, trump is guilty as hell of extortion many times over. he probably learned how to do it successfully from cohn.

  314. first we MUST stop calling trump president. HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! he didn't win any election. the white house was handed to him through a coup, a fixing and rigging of the electoral process. the evidence is EVERYWHERE! THIS IS A FACT! everyone calling this traitor president is guilty of FIRE-HOSING!  - the act of repeating a lie often enough people begin to believe the lie! so, do us all a favor, accept reality. the U.S. was the victim of a coup d'etat. so, stop fire-hosing the lie that this criminal is president.

  315.  BaiAnNa2014 Twitter  … capitalism IS corruption. its legalized gangsterism, extortion economics. its the accumulation of wealth and consolidation of power. its elitist hierarchies where the elite write their own laws and use the govt to enforce their will. corruption is how capitalism was intended to work and its working very well.

  316. for those who didn't know hassan was a member of the Unification Church - a "Moonie" as they were called. the reality is almost everything is a cult. all social institutions, corporations, employers, govts and most people want to manipulate others to their liking, way of thinking or advantage. capitalism is a cult, all religions and atheism are cults. commercialism and consumerism are the tools of cults. a cult will promote both self interest and unity through comradery simultaneously to gain members. govts and social systems brainwash us from birth. WE'RE BORN INTO THESE CULTS! we're all brainwashed to one degree or another. some of us even brainwash ourselves. the question is - do you want to be brainwashed for good or evil? for cooperation or predation? for kindness and compassion or for hate and greed? for ethics or deception? FOR FREEDOM OR SLAVERY? in one of my equalism videos I openly admit I want to brainwash you but not for monovalent or selfish purposes but for benevolent and egalitarian purposes. it may sound like a contradiction but its not, YOU CAN CHOOSE which brainwashing path you follow - YOU CAN brainwash yourself NO TO BE A PREDATOR!

  317.  @theodoreroberts3407  … agree with your overall comment but the reality is THE ELITE, THE OLIGARCHS, THE PLUTOCRATS, whatever you want to call them, decide who MOST of our candidates will be - at the federal, state and local levels. and since they choose the candidates they choose OUR representatives. you ever notice how often an incumbent wins an election? once you're elected you're almost guaranteed a life-long political position. you ever notice how the candidate that raises the most money wins their election 99% of the time? the 2 factors tie into each other because the incumbent ALWAYS has the advantage in raising more money. American, AND THE WORLD'S, politics are determined BY MONEY! politicians DON'T WIN ELECTIONS - THEY BUY THEM! and the result is our politicians are bought as well. its called bribery. and the supreme court has slowly but surely made bribery legal from the 70's, defending the lobbyists, to the 2000's with the "citizen's united" decision.

ALL govts, at the national, the provincial, state, county and city levels ARE CORPORATIONS. the nation state has been dead for quite awhile now. welcome to the corporate state; where oligarchs rule the world through an interconnected web of global plutocratic networks. nations may appear to have their differences but the corporate elite all have the same goal. guess what that goal is?

  324.  @tracesprite6078  ... i think WE deserve the nobel peace prize. you know, the one trump claims he deserves. as for reaching across the great divide - trump is THE only so-called "president" who NEVER tried to appeal to the other side. other presidents have appeared to try and NONE succeed. that's because the ENTIRE american system is based upon confrontation, competition and winner-take-all fascism. the elite stay in power by KEEPING THE PEOPLE APART! as long we remain divided and at each other's throats the elite, ON BOTH SIDES, stay in power.

  325. my question concerning Dean is - since when was excitement over your own campaign a bad thing? it was the stupidest criticism yet the media pushed it ad nauseum. you also have to remember the media CREATED TRUMP! for 20 years he was constantly interviewed by tv and print "journalists" and talk shows, morning, noon and night, asking him his worthless opinion on politics and social issues and letting him hock his "business" scams. he was on entertainment tonight and the emmies, in the tabloids, and even on pro-wrestling. trump was a media-hound and shameless self-promoter and the media allowed him to use them to misrepresent himself as someone important and to create name recognition for himself. then when he was nearly broke, down and out, mark burnett and nbc, for some reason, actually gave this moron his own tv show. this allowed him to RE-brand his scandal-ridden name and misrepresent himself as some big-wheeling tycoon to a national audience. then, from the moment he announced his sham prez campaign, the media gave him still MORE unprecedented and unwarranted free air time. and since he stole the election the media continues to give trump free media coverage. NOW EVERYDAY IS THE INSANE TRUMP SHOW. there's no escaping it. and its all thanks to the national media that allowed a predator like trump FREE ACCESS to a national audience to promote and misrepresent himself.

  326. trump, like a vast majority of the elite, has gotten away with every crime he's committed both before and after he stole the white house. rich people, and their political cronies, pretty much have immunity from punishment from the misery they create and profit from. the elite are actually much more likely to be praised, exalted and rewarded for the misery they cause.

  327. and Reagan and bush got away with their crimes too, thanks to Barr. he helped them avoid prosecution for their involvement in iran/contra. anyone who wants to find out the truth about the trump scam is welcome to watch my videos - "equalism 150: King Trump or Dictator?

  328. don't count on that happening as long as trump is FREE to keep appointing judges at will. we have, RIGHT NOW, a criminal in the Whitehouse, a criminal Whitehouse staff, a criminal Whitehouse cabinet, a criminal led SENATE and criminals leading the GOP! we have a DAMNED ROGUE, OUT OF CONTROL, CRIMINAL GOVT and we damned well better STOP IT! so what happens when the justice dept itself is corrupted by a corrupt attorney general? we have criminal, elitist "president" being enabled by a criminal, elitist political party because they want those criminal, elitist federal judges he's stacking the courts with to rule our judicial system for generations to come. that's where we're at now. what happens when we have a ROGUE govt in place administered by corrupt people protecting their own corruption and pursuing the implementation of a permanent oligarchy? what do we do?
    3
  329. all elite, CEOs, politicians and presidents lie. but trump lies about EVERYTHING! even about small inconsequential things and obvious facts. other presidents at least used an occasional "no comment" but not trump. he has an, apparently, uncontrollable compulsion to respond to EVERYTHING, to talk about ANYTHING and to lie as he responds. some of it is the "salesman" in him, some of it is his propensity for self-promotion and being the center of attention, some of it is his megalomania and his delusions of grandeur. but most of it is just pure pathology. he's lied his whole life, gotten away with it and gotten what he wants. in his twisted mind he's thinking - hey, if it works, why change it? and half his cult followers know he's lying, don't care and admire him for it and the other half actually believe this pathological liar and his lying sycophants; McConnell, Graham, Limbaugh, Conway, et al. they've all sold their souls to the insanity of the trump cult.

  330. we have RIGHT NOW, a criminal in the Whitehouse, a criminal Whitehouse staff, a criminal Whitehouse cabinet, a criminal led SENATE and criminals leading the GOP! we have a DAMNED ROGUE, OUT OF CONTROL, CRIMINAL GOVT and we damned well better STOP IT! barr's a goddamned criminal covering up the crimes of another criminal and launching ILLEGAL investigations to deflect from the proven crimes of his criminal boss. barr needs to be disbarred for fraud and corruption and thrown in prison right along side TRUMP!

  331. +Jim... you're right. I've been saying this for decades. the elite, politicians and the media have been misusing the word "entitlement" for quite awhile now. it means precisely what it says - its something you're entitled to,; its something you already have the RIGHT to possess. but the elite use the word as synonymous with "handout." but they NEVER mention that its the elite who receive the handouts. and these elitist handouts are funded by middle class taxes and removing the rights of the lower classes.

  332. you kidding. i'm on medicare - FULL MEDICARE - and i'm still denied medical care on a regular basis. medicare is practically 100% privatized now. corporate medical and insurance porofits are astronomical. just YESTERDAY i tried to contact medicare directly to complain. there IS NO medicare outside of private companies contracted to administer it. medicare, like foodstamps, is all one HUGE bureacratic mess designed to be impossible to navigate. designed so passing-the buck is SOP and no one is responible for ANYTHING!

  333. instead of questioning why girls are being under diagnosed with adhd the question is why are boys being OVER diagnosed with it? screw the pharmacy companies. STOP MEDICATING OUR DAMNED KIDS! - and our adults for that mater! we've let the elite sell us the scam that pills are THE answer to all our problems. we gotta pill popping epidemic! pills WON'T solve your damned problems but JUSTICE will! throw your mind numbing, mind control pills in the trash AND FIGHT FOR JUSTICE INSTEAD!
    3
  334. I think you missed the point. adhd is just a made up condition, or at most, an over diagnosed condition, designed to sell us more unneeded, over-priced pharmaceutical product which actually just makes more docile and compliant! you do know people who are prescribed these pills take them for life! they actually believe they can't function "correctly" without them. its just another way to steal your money and make you even MORE dependent on your oppressors.

  335. oh my... Kimberly. i'm responding to the wrong comment. sorry. but my comment still holds true nonetheless.
    3
  336. +Kimberly... I believe MOST of these are simply normal, yet different, personality traits. people are DIFFERENT and psychology HATES nonconformity. people seek treatment for these so-called "symptoms" because society itself discourages nonconformity and makes it inconducive to productive functioning within society. mental illness USED to be about DELUSIONAL thinking but now it accepts delusional thinking as "acceptable" and just possessing different personality traits as unacceptable. remember, the psychological industry believes it has 2 functions; 1) make people more compliant and accepting of their own slavery to authority. 2) increase the need, thus the profits, of their own industry. what's your opinion?
    3
  337. I think that implies congress can put general restrictions on supreme court authority - not to exempt any specific law from the courts constitutional purpose as the third "check and balance" of govt power. if what you're saying was the case EVERY law would just have attached to it an automatic rider preventing judicial review completely eliminating all court involvement in the govt. also, the constitution is ignored on a regular basis. the law forbidding ex post facto is ignored altogether and the bill of rights are enforced only when its convenient to do so. the reality is - the U.S. has become a lawless society, the elite in business and govt can pretty much do whatever they want. laws are enforced just for show and spectacle.

  338. +fluffy... most definitely. things weren't all cherries and cheesecake before reagan but he opened the flood gates to the complete corporate takeover of the U. S. and things have snow balled for the worse ever since. he instigated greenspan's insane "trickle-down" economics" which has ruled, corrupted and ruined domestic policy (and world economics) ever since. his influence has led to the removal of the glass-steagall act, the creation of the patriot act and the "citizen's united" decision. and since his holding office both wealth discrepancies and the police state have EXPLODED! he was an elitist shill no different than trump - EXCEPT reagan was a puppet of the elite but trump IS a member of the elite.

  339. there's no doubt that capitalism works by rewarding the most unempathetic, megalomaniacal, predatory and sociopathic society has to offer. the elite place one stipulation on social predation and that's that it must make or keep you financially wealthy, politically powerful or both. otherwise, to them, you're just a 2-bit punk or thug. they equate gaining success, by any means, as deserving success. they equate "superiority" with their warp and twisted sense of "rugged individualism." they call it ambition and embrace the "never-take-no-for-an-answer mentality. strength and masculinity are demonstrated through taking what you want without any regard for who you may hurt in the process or any law or ethical or moral standard. they consider people who play by the rules as suckers and compassion and conscience as weaknesses to be exploited or defeated with impunity. this ISN'T how john locke envisioned free-marketism or adam smith envisioned capitalism. but this is how the elite and other predators corrupted these ideas to perpetuate their power, prestige and privilege.

  340.  @mahlina1220  … my friend, how can put this? uummm. have you read the comments you've addressed to me? THEY'RE WONDERFUL! so no, there's absolutely no sarcasm from me at all. you're kindness is greatly appreciated. I do get a lot of favorable comments. and although all of them are appreciated most of them are rather generic. yours are quite unique and distinctive. a real pleasure to read. they truly, did, INDEED, lift my spirits. because, although I do get favorable responses I get ATTACKED much more often. and not only from the trump cult, but from the left and right. it's tough sometimes to try to WAKE-UP people. especially when they tend to so enjoy their slumber. YES, one of my main themes is - we're ALL, the left and right, the liberals and conservatives, the democrats and republicans - WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! liberals and conservatives AREN'T mortal enemies. but trump is NO conservative. he's an out and out fascist. he brings NOTHING positive to the table and neither does his cult. but even with the trump cult my comments are intended to enlighten. and so often they respond with disdain, insults and attacks. I've had my LIFE THREATENED more than 10 times by trump's cult. that's what he inspires in people! your comments were fresh and invigorating and THAT'S always a welcomed inclusion in my life. thanks.

  341. I BEAT "different drummer" at the democratic underground by a few years. I posted the equalist pledge a couple of years ago. even BEFORE trump was appointed into the white house. its a public denunciation and rejection of ALL predatory acts from the right AND left. he should've taken the equalist pledge back then. HE STILL CAN! Thom can still help publicize this pledge if he chooses to.

  342. NO rich person ever became poor through taxation. NO corporation ever went bankrupt due to corporate taxes or govt-regulation. even at the 90% tax rate, which is staggered to kick in only after income reached a certain level, the rich GOT richer. the only thing that ever threatens small business is BIG BUSINESS! not the govt, UNLESS the govt is doing the bidding of BIG BUSINESS! in other words, its the rich, the oligarchs who corrupt the govt. NOT THE POOR! not the middle-class. how can powerless people corrupt anything? oh, and screw elon musk. he's not doing "great things." he's just your standard, 2-bit profiteer.
    3
  343. not only health care and education but LEGAL SERVICES; legal representation, court access and law enforcement should be PUBLICALLY, SOCIALLY and TAX PAYER FUNDED! justice ISN'T a private commodity but a social obligation. and justice can't be served when its denied people due to exorbitant fees and financial restrictions. the Magna Carta which was written by a bunch of elitist OVER 800 years ago, in 1215, says, in Clause 40: ‘To no one shall we sell, delay or deny right or justice’. but in America, as in the rest of the world, lack of money is the most common excuse for lack of justice, court access and legal representation. in fact if the poor had equal access to the law, courts and legal representation equal access to health care and college would soon follow and poverty itself would in fact DISAPPEAR because the existence poverty is IMMORAL, UNETHICAL, a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS and thus ILLEGAL!

  344. yes, many in the north were just as racist as those in the south. and the north was just as pro-slavery as in the south; but it was a different kind of slavery. the civil war was just a conflict to determine which form of slavery would prevail; the souths plantation slavery of direct human ownership or the norths industrial wage and debt slavery of indirect human ownership. slavery has NEVER ended. the elite just repackaged it and resold it to us under new names, jargon and applications.
    3
  345. yes, good point. there's nothing free in "free trade." like capitalism ISN'T free-marketism. there's nothing free under capitalism; not markets, not products or services and NOT PEOPLE! fascists use the word "free" as a marketing scam. its mere PR. it means nothing to them. to them, slavery IS freedom. as long as you're a slave to corporations or to an elitist ruled corporate state they're all for it. they want the rich to be "free" and the rest of us to be the subjects and slaves to that elite. fair trade is EQUAL trade. and everyone wins. "compete, compete, compete!" i'm so sick of hearing that malarky! progress is made through cooperation NOT CONFLICT! when you compete there's losers. and thos "losers" become jealous, envious and very ANGRY! competeion leads to animosity, suspicion, inequality and POVERTY! when humanity cooperates you'll create a world like we've never seen. no one's left out, no ones gets screwed, no one's left behind. there's no one to feel animosity, fear or hatred toward. WE ALL WIN! when we compete maybe a few win and the rest loses. a few individuals GAIN privilege, wealth and power and society bears the brunt of the corruption that results. compeition encourages theft, lying anf fraud. because that's a sure fire way to assure YOU WIN! fascists stress comptetition. a free and productive people stress the unity of cooperation.

  346. its impossible for trump to be re-elected. there are several possible scenarios. trump can steal the white house again - be illegally placed into the white house a second rime as he was in 2016. he can be elected for the first time. he can lose the election. or he can decline to run for whatever reason - hopefully because he's been impeached or imprisoned for stealing the white house in 2016. but its LIITERALLY impossible for anyone who was elected the first time to be RE-elected.

  347. did you hear what the n. Carolina GOP state "legislatures" pulled yesterday? they pulled an unquestionable act of public FRAUD to override a governor veto of the GOP penned state budget. i'm not a big democrat fan but the GOP is absolutely THE most corrupt, amoral and underhanded institution in this country. they lie cheat and steal to further their agenda. there's NO level too low to which they aren't willing to stoop to get their way.
    3
  348. what hartman is talking about is called a "mob mentality." and it has nothing to do with human nature. its a CORRUPTION of our true nature. through 6000 years of constant conditioning the elite has created a mentally ill HUMANITY! we've been brainwashed and conditioned to be predatory, violent, deceitful and GULLIBLE! the oligarchs have conditioned us to automatically respond to certain stimuli in a certain manner like "Pavlov's dog!" its called a "knee jerk" response and we've been conditioned for 1000's of years to JERK respond to certain buzz words, imagery and social settings like crowds. WE'RE CONDITIONED TO DO WHAT THE CROWD DOES! its called "blind conformity." it has nothing to do with human nature.

  349. privatization raises prices and lowers wages (just like all profit enterprises) and has utterly destroyed and corrupted everything its been applied to. democracy and privatization AREN'T compatible. but i'm tired of people misrepresenting free-marketism and synonymous with capitalism. it just isn't true. watch my latest video series "equalism 121a - c: Free-Marketism Defined" at this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHSHUdrzO6Q - to discover that capitalism and free-marketism have, in reality, nothing to do with one another. we needed a revolution decades ago. what we all need now are lobotomies for continuing to stand by and do nothing to stop this INSANITY!

  350. more fascist lies from yet another 2 bit fascist traitor. how novel. you know, denying reality doesn't change it.
    3
  351. another disturbing fact is that during the 2007-08 financial crisis, that the elite caused, they not only avoided prison for they're crimes they were REWARDED for they're crimes with the biggest govt welfare scam in U.S. history. while the rest of us suffered through this crisis the elite GOT RICHER! the govt used tax payer dollars to bailout the criminals and make them EVEN richer. in other countries at least some of perpetrators were prosecuted and saw prison time. but NOT in the U. S. here, we reward fraud liars and thieves. why? these liars and thieves fund the political campaigns if our politicians! so while the elite DEMAND that welfare programs be dismantled that help the lower classes THEY DEMAND and receive MASSIVE welfare programs for themselves. the elite are truly sociopaths and psychopaths and MUST be removed from their domination of our species!
    3
  352. ALL elitist hierarchical social systems are capitalist. their intent is to keep the elite in power. and the elite utilize BOTH BIG business and BIG govt to perpetuate this system. they use big govt to protect their wealth and enforce their will. the capitalist elite want govt out of THEIR way not out of YOUR way. capitalism is economic fascism and fascism is political capitalism. one can't exist without the other. socialism, on the other hand, is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism. one can't exist without the other. the elite on the right and left misrepresent and mis-define ALL these words. so most people don't really know what these words mean either.

  353. +The... yep. secrecy and cover ups is the american way! I've been saying this since the 2016 sham election. to investigate and prosecute trump for his crimes BOTH parties would implicating themselves in bribery and corruption charges GALORE! that's one reason Pelosi is against impeachment and the mueller investigation was so limited in scope and took over 2 years!

  354. i can PROVE trrump won neither election. its called FRAUD and its a crime. if you LIE to achieve something then you don't achieve it! THAT'S THE LAW! if you lie on a govt form they send you to prison for years! but if you commit criminal fraud in a political campaign to attain political power that's somehow acceptable? that's not how the law works! trump has NEVER been the legal u. s. president and he's NOT the legal president "elect" today! but of course for some odd reason the authorities NEVER enforce the law against trump.

  355. @sean d. … I just read your comment and think its fantastic! the reality is the lower classes AREN'T the bottom of society. I like to use the phrase - we're being ruled from the gutter. its the elite who are the dregs of society; the parasites flourishing off of the misery of others. but we must NEVER STOP fighting! we must remain vigilant and determined to correct this insanity of continuing to allow society to be ruled by the WORST, the most corrupt, underhanded and unethical, society has to offer!

  356. trump was the first to HIDE his educational and school records from the public. he was the first, that we know of, who told over 15,000 documented lies in merely 3 and a half years of his first term. he was the first to publicly admit to bribing elected officials in exchange for political favors. he was the first to publicly ask THREE foreign govts to help him win elections. he was the first to publish LIES about his daily itinerary so to keep from public scrutiny his holding secret meetings and conducting secret phone calls with foreign leaders. he was the first to violate election laws, federal laws and the constitution on a nearly daily basis and receive NO penalty or punishment. he was the first to occupy the whitehouse without winning an election. oh wait. bush jr. beat him at that.

  357. NO ONE LIKES THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES! and that includes the auto, home or medical insurance companies. insurance companies make their money through denial of care, through overselling you insurance you don't need or underselling you insurance YOU DESPERATELY NEED! the insurance industry is one of the most HATED and MISTRUSTED industries in the world! for the MSM and dem candidates to continue to misrepresent and demonize national health care is the perfect example of far-right, pro-insurance industry fear mongering. good job in promoting the agenda of the corrupt, profiteering insurance companies. the solution is simple: you raise corporate and elitist taxes to fair and reasonable levels, reduce the military budget, increase middle class taxes by about a $100 a year, ELIMINATE sky-high insurance premiums, deductibles and co-pay and you receive FULL medical coverage in return. this is what 100's of nations, both big and small, rich and poor, do right now and guess what? THEIR COUNTRIES AREN'T BEING DESTROYED! but not in backward, medieval America! OH MY GAWD! damn socialism will kill us ALL! providing universal healthcare is SATANIC and DESTRUCTIVE! you damn stupid fools. wake the hell up!

  360. the word fascism is derived from the latin "fascias" which means "bundle" or "unity." the word literally meant a sheaf that held a bundle of wheat or barley together. the ancient romans, particular the army, used the symbol of this sheaf, the fascias, to signify ""strength in numbers." in 1921 Mussolini Italianized the word into "fascista" and used it as the name of his ultra-right-wing, reactionary, para-military, anti-socialist political party.
    3
  361. Mussolini didn't invent fascism - he simply gave it a name. its been in existence for 6000 years. its any elitist, hierarchical, authoritarian society. and thanks to 20th century technology fascism is synonymous with totalitarianism. fascism is political capitalism and capitalism is economic fascism. one can't exist without the other.
    3
  362.  David Anewman  … the U. S. is fascist because its RULED by fascists not because all or most of the people are fascist. fascism is a RULING system, a system that allows an elite, the most corrupt and sociopathic within a country, to rule over everyone in that country. and trump is the embodiment of fascist ideology and fascist rule. and just the way the GOP bows to trump's insanity, every single insane and idiotic thing he mutters, tweets and does the GOP will vehemently support and defend. there's no idiocy trump can say, want or do that the GOP will criticize or interfere with. there's no crime he can commit that the GOP will denounce. THAT'S FASCISM!

  363.  @anotherworldviewispossible  … I don't know what he is but I do know what he is not; and he's not right about fascism. the elite on the right are trying to rebrand fascism. they're fire-hosing the lies that fascism IS socialism and that Mussolini and Hitler were socialists. these are all utter and blatant lies. they're now purposely misrepresenting these as a diversionary tactic to hide THEIR true fascist intent and agendas. the elite on the left fire-hose their own lies. thanks largely to the internet fire-hosing is become a very serious problem. many people have no real grasp on reality and truth anymore. which only benefits the elite as they intensify our divisions to tighten their fascist strangle hold on humanity to implement their global police-state, AND ITS WORKING!

I swear, the depths to which these people are willing to sink astounds me. its hard to believe they're human at all. maybe they're the one's who've had their minds altered to commit such atrocities. it makes you wonder how many OTHER SECRETS the elite, their corporations and their govt are keeping from us.

  366. debt is created from the lending of the money. thanks to computerization ALL loans are issued digitally. the banks ask the fed, a privately owned bank, for permission to make a loan. upon approval, the fed digitally transfers that money to the bank's account to lend. the bank keeps the interest and digitally returns the principle to the fed. the bank risks NOTHING! but profits nonetheless.

  367.  @k11keeper  … social security isn't funded through taxes but through a separate system. it doesn't rely on loans to meet its legal obligations.

  368. what hartman is talking about is called a "mob mentality." and it has nothing to do with human nature. its a CORRUPTION of our true nature. through 6000 years of constant conditioning the elite has created a mentally ill HUMANITY! we've been brainwashed and conditioned to be predatory, violent, deceitful and GULLIBLE! the oligarchs have conditioned us to automatically respond to certain stimuli in a certain manner like "Pavlov's dog!" its called a "knee jerk" response and we've been conditioned for 1000's of years to JERK respond to certain buzz words, imagery and social settings like crowds. WE'RE CONDITIONED TO DO WHAT THE CROWD DOES! its called "blind conformity." it has nothing to do with human nature.

  369. ALSO, ordering people to defy subpoenas is witness tampering. telling them what they can and cannot say in their testimony is witness tampering. and the whole idea behind "executive privilege," which ISN'T in the constitution or mentioned in any federal law, is just a means to allow presidents (TRUMP, IN FACT, IS NOT PRESIDENT, the mueller probe proved that, but he occupies the white house anyway) to cover their crimes under a veil of secrecy. secrecy has NO place in a democracy OR republic. loyalty to ANYTHING other than the constitution AND the American people, their freedom and their RIGHT to know, is in fact fascism and we've had fascism here in the U. S. for many years. oligarchies, elitist privilege and fascism are ALL the same thing!
    3
  370. i would say trump's biggest lie is that he won the election and is the legitimate president of the U. S. A. winning a rigged election doesn't make you the winner. and there's plenty of evidence that election was rigged by, not only putin and Russian oligarchs, but by American oligarchs and the GOP as well. trump should've never been allowed to take office but here he is, 3 years later, still being allowed to pretend to be president. and political pundits, the American mainstream and alternative media, foreign leaders and everyday Americans ALL continue to propagate this lie by calling him "president"!
    3
  371. its just another scam to make BIG profits for people who don't need the money! as long the elite are allowed to set whatever market values they choose on any and every product, service and industry americans are gonna face ever increasing problems. in other words, social programs without price controls are just welfare for the rich. this is what equalism calls Econo-Dynamics. its how the elite create and enforce both big business and big govt for their advantage.
    3
  372. +Not Karl... actually they could LOWER taxes for the lower classes and easily achieve economic sanity in the U.S. all they need do is quit kowtowing to the elite and force them to give back to society 60-65% of the wealth they stole from it. NOBODY needs, earned or deserves a billion dollars or a $100 million for that matter. they acquired that wealth through overcharging consumers, underpaying employees, manipulating investment markets and tax breaks and govt contracts and subsidies. just make these thieves return the money they stole from the rest of us and American AND world poverty would be a thing of the past.

  373. thanks to all the fire-hosing we've been bombarded with since after ww2, with the fascist takeover of our govt after defeating foreign fascism in the war, the definitions of political words have become completely corrupted. the word "liberal" means change (untried, progressive change) and traditionally, speaking, encompasses the ENTIRE left of the political spectrum. the word "conservative" means accepting the status quo and encompasses not only the middle of the political spectrum but also its right which includes the "reactionaries" who, being dissatisfied with the status quo, want regressive change (they want to turn the clock back). capitalism was determined to be a liberal philosophy because it offered a transition, a change from feudalism. but in reality it resulted in being just another form of elitist rule. democracy, being an alternative to elitist, aristocratic rule, IS a liberal philosophy. but people realized capitalism corrupts democratic intent. so socialism quickly developed as a TRUE liberal, leftist, progressive response to capitalism. socialism is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism. the one can't exist without the other. capitalism, being just as elitist and corrupt as feudalism became the status quo and spread throughout the world as it was pushed by the world's elite but retained the moniker of CLASSICAL-liberalism. socialism is the true liberalism as it represents REAL progressive, social change. today, the word classical-liberalism has been replaced by NEO-liberalism. these are people who, largely embrace some social changes, an end to racism, women's rights and labor protections, but also embrace the continuation of elitist rule through a capitalist economic system. in short, a neo-liberal is a conservative on economic issues and rejects socialism, while maintaining liberal desires for at least some level of govt protections for individual rights from elitist corruption.

  374. did you hear what the n. Carolina GOP state "legislatures" pulled yesterday? they pulled an unquestionable act of public FRAUD to override a governor veto of the GOP penned state budget. i'm not a big democrat fan but the GOP is absolutely THE most corrupt, amoral and underhanded institution in this country. they lie cheat and steal to further their agenda. there's NO level too low to which they aren't willing to stoop to get their way.

  375. to stop this trump cult will take some serious deprograming.

  376. yes, the fascists have done an excellent job in re-branding their intent through misinformation and perfidy. they lost ww2 but are now taking over the world. they've redefined nationalism into patriotism. they demonize socialism by misrepresenting it as "centralized govt economic planning" and the "redistribution of wealth." when the reality is capitalism is centralized corporate/banking economic planning and the true redistribution of wealth. capitalism takes YOUR money and gives it to the elite. that's how the elite accumulate mass fortunes. and capitalism relies on BIG GOVT to do it; enforce the elitist will and protect their wealth and privilege. the elite want the govt out of THEIR way not out of YOUR way. and the elite aren't even loyal to one govt or nation. and this is what the fascists have somehow convinced multitudes of people as patriotism - elitism, nationalism, capitalism and authoritarianism.

  377. this is america. these high-level fascists won't be punished. trump won't ever be punished. the GOP won't ever be punished. only low level, on-site, minions who were fool enough to do as the gop and trump encouraged them to do, will face any punishment whatsoever. and even they won't face any serious repercussions. 99% of them will offered plea deals, time served or a few years probation. and the militias will just go on as before and probably gain membership from the national exposure. i'll bet you ten year sentences will be rare and those will only serve 3 years or less. the system is corrupt. the dems are already backing away from their campaign promises. they're already backing down to the GOP - again! just like after watergate. MORE THAN HALF of the GOP, right now, supports the attacks on 1-6-21 and right-wing media and q-anon are still spreading their lies. will they EVER face justice? don't bet on it.

  378. Hartmans's closing statement - they didn't think trump could win - WELL, he didn't win. the mueller report, a half a dozen "election" day anomalies, Clinton's popular vote victory (and I REALLY DISLIKE Clinton) PROVE he didn't win! i knew he didn't win back in 2016! I've NEVER called this buffoon president and NEVER WILL! the American and Russian oligarchs conspired together to steal that election and put trump in the white house. but I've been attacked by idiots on the right AND left every time I stated these facts. if conspiring with domestic and foreign corporations and a foreign leader to fix a presidential election in your favor isn't treason I don't know what is. impeachment AND criminal proceedings need to be started against trump ASAP! as well as proceedings to nullify the results of that illegal "election." MY GOD! we have a criminal illegally occupying the white house, signing executive orders, declaring emergencies, vetoing legislation and representing us all internationally and making foreign policy decisions AND AMERICANS AREN'T GODDAMNED MAD?!

  379. we're not talking about the "Truman show" here. this technology doesn't specify, it doesn't discriminate - it tracks EVERY ONE not just criminals. it stores the information in databases for future retrieval if deemed necessary. it records audio and visuals through devises secretly installed on retail products like cell-phones, digital TVs, computers and so-called virtual assistants like apple's siri amazon's alexa. at the rate at which this police-state technology is "improving" there's no telling what its capable of doing right now or will be capable of in the very near future. what I do know is the elite have done a GREAT job at conditioning and brainwashing us through advertising and propaganda to not only BUY our own oppression but to invite these police-state technologies into our homes and TAKEOVER our very lives and all of society!

  380. under capitalism when the economy boons we, the people, may be A LITTLE better off but the elite profit ENORMOUSLY. when the economy tanks WE SUFFER and the elite profit ENORMOUSLY. capitalism is designed to fluctuate; be in a constant state of flux. this is called, NOT a free market, but a market economy. its supposed to provide as little social stability and individual security as possible while maintaining and increasing elitist wealth and power and solidifying the peoples' dependence on the elite. this ISN'T a broken system but how capitalism is supposed to work! any way you look at it - capitalism is ONE BIG SCAM! WAKE UP AND DEMAND JUSTICE, STABILITY, SECURITY AND SANITY IN YOUR OWN LIVES!

  383. voter suppression, miscounted votes, gerrymandering and good, old fashioned money and corporate interests all combine to make a very corrupt system to decide who holds public office. since 1980 the democrats have had 3 presidential races stolen right from under them. and what do the democrat "leadership" do? NOTHING! i'm afraid the democrats are in on the scam. in order to maintain the monopoly of these 2 pro-corporate, pro-military and pro-elitist parties they've apparently come to an agreement to each support the most absurd and divisive positions to keep the people at each others throats so the elite continue their corrupt rule.

  385.  @mitchellsmith4601  … as hartmam clearly demonstrates; who's gonna stop trump from staying in the white house? you? Hartman's point is - when there's a break down in the respect for the law, then thugs and fascists take over and there's no one to stop them. of course the military can always step in, seize power and declare martial law. maybe that's what the oligarchs want. either way, our whole society, both our government and economy are ruled by criminals and no one has stopped them yet!

  386. its part of a campaign to destroy democracy throughout the world. since the thatcher/Reagan era oligarchic fascism has been spreading and growing all over the world right along with neo-liberal laissez-faire capitalism, global elitist wealth and the police state and human dependence on inter-connected technological systems. if anyone doesn't see a link between these concurrent developments is blind as all hell! this scam actually began right after ww2. it was accelerated by thatcher and reagan and its grown incrementally worse ever since. WAKE UP! we NEED a revolution and NOW!

  387. I don't think trump has the intelligence to be a really great conman. he stole the white with the enormous help of his elitist buddies. he sure didn't do it alone. trump is a buffoon, a reality show moron. he's good at histrionics and self promotion but that's about it. he certainly is NO mastermind!

  388. abdi wasn't real clear there. did he say that Gaetz and the GOP put a provision in the recent defense bill that trump COULDN'T arbitrarily go to war with iran? and then he said the dems "caved" and allowed the provision to be included. that makes no sense. thom, could you please clarify Abdi's statement? uummm, I wonder why trump, the conman, decided to issue this Iranian attack now? during an election year? with his poll numbers decreasing and a senate trial looming? war and/or some baseless but deliberate military action against a perceived enemy is always a good way to raise your poll numbers. it looks like we may be in for a pretty bloody 2020 as trump becomes more unstable and more desperate. which is why WE MUST DEMAND trump be removed ASAP!

S. A. winning a rigged election doesn't make you the winner. and there's plenty of evidence that election was rigged by, not only putin and Russian oligarchs, but by American oligarchs and the GOP as well. trump should've never been allowed to take office but here he is, 3 years later, still being allowed to pretend to be president. and political pundits, the American mainstream and alternative media, foreign leaders and everyday Americans ALL continue to propagate this lie by calling him "president"!

  392.  @quedizzle7378  ... you know what really pisses me off about trump? as a general rule I REALLY dislike the FBI, homeland security, the CIA and the democratic party. but thanks to trump I find myself defending them more than I ever have. when it comes to trump these orgs are actually doing their jobs FOR ONCE! and I applaud them for it. one reason I want so much to get rid of trump, besides all his incompetence and corruption, is so I can go back to criticizing these orgs for THEIR corruption and incompetence instead of applauding them for exposing trump's EXTREME and OUTLANDISH incompetence and corruption.
    3
  393.  @quedizzle7378  ... YES! I've said this repeatedly over the last 3 years. the only thing that can possibly explain the GOP'S unwavering devotion to trump is that putin gave him info to blackmail the GOP leaders. nothing else makes any sense. AND putin has info to blackmail trump himself! which explains why he's pushing putin's agenda so hard. of course these are just assumptions based upon what I can observe but nothing else makes any real sense.

  395. capitalism is just a repackaging of feudalism and vice versa. there's actually no REAL difference between the 2. they both enslave the people for the benefit of the elite. and the sooner we do away with and reject silly, irrelevant distinctions and look at the big picture the sooner we'll SEE and UNDERSTAND the truth. civilization brought us the elite, fascism, authoritarianism, greed, corruption, slavery, poverty, prejudice, war AND capitalism. civilization was an elitist invention designed to solidify, enforce and perpetuate elitist power and control over humanity. and its done just that over the last 6000 years!

  396. trump was the first to publicly ask THREE foreign govts to him help win elections. he was the first to publicly admit to bribing elected officials in exchange for political favors. he was the first, that we know of, who told over 15,000 documented lies in merely 3 and a half years of his first term. he was the first to violate election laws, federal laws and the constitution on a nearly daily basis and receive NO penalty or punishment. he was the first to occupy the whitehouse without winning an election. oh wait. bush jr. beat him at that.

  397. hasn't anyone figured this out YET! LISTEN TO ME! we have no honest elections in this country. if the elite want trump to win he'll win. trump LOST in 2016. but here he is - in the white house pretending to be president. he lost the popular vote AND the electoral college was FIXED! that's how presidents are chosen. and that's how "decisive" congressional and state politicians are chosen. they are selected NOT elected and its the elite that selects them. and if the elite choose biden as the dems candidate, like they chose clinton, it'll be the same result. trump will LOSE AGAIN and retain the white house. and as long as the media keeps giving trump's speeches free air time, like on july 4th and in n. Carolina, trump will steal another election. one thing for damned sure; americans are tired of choosing between the lesser of 2 evils in EVERY damned election scam.

  398. yes, its sad when the elite's propoganda machine makes the lower classes "identify" more with the elite - THAN EACH OTHER! although virtually none of us have a real chance of ever becoming rich! a lot of this BS is promoted by pop culture as singers and rappers have relentlessly PUSHED the pursuit of wealth, at ALL costs, materialism and commercialism on our youth over the last 40 years! so many anericans, INCLUDING THE LEFT, equate wealth with freedom. they claim wealth can BUY freedom. that while the rest of us are slaves to the elite, the elite themselves ARE FREE! THIS IS A LIE! that comes from the left as well as the right. the reality is wealth doesn't buy freedom - it buys PRIVILEGE! there's a huge difference between the two. here's capitalism 101: capitalism produces slavery across class lines. the non-elite, the comlen, are enslaved by those who have money. the elite are enslaved by the money ITSELF! rich people will choose slavery to money and the class privilege it allows over slavery to other people ANYDAY! this is the perspective of the philosophy of equalism. i talked about this on my equalism channel MONTHS AGO! maybe if some of you watched some of you might actually learn something new.

  400. hear, hear. but revolutions don't have to be violent. they can be conducted peacefully just through the rejection of the system and a refusal to participate in it. this is the strategy of the philosophy of equalism. the sooner the people receive this message and accept this reality the sooner the revolution we so desperately need can commence and be successful. equalism's motto - "Resist, Refuse, Revolt" - isn't a call to violence but a call to UNITY through pro-active dissent and passive resistance. THIS IS HOW YOU CHANGE THE WORLD!

  401.  @kevincrady2831  … thanks for the explanation. in politics symmetrical applies when both sides follow the law and/or the same rules and/or the same ethical standards. asymmetrical applies when ONLY one side is willing to adopt the strategy that ANYTHING that furthers your agenda is an acceptable tactic. fire-hosing, astroturfing, gerrymandering, voter suppression, rigged corporate-owned voting machines, deflection, fraud and misrepresentation are all strategies implemented by the GOP since the 1980 prez election that put reagan in the white house. and things have been going rapidly down hill ever sense. i'm not a big fan of the democrats. BOTH parties push pro-corporate and pro-military interests. but the GOP is definitely the worse of the 2. ITS A CRIMINAL, gangster institution. there's no political organization that puts democracy and THE PLANET at risk as much as the American Republican Party.

  407. equalism is THE TRUE alternative to the left and right and its NOT a centrist position at ALL! its an actual new, unique and innovative view of the world, each other and OURSELVES. its purely anti-fascist and anti-capitalist but it defines political and economic terms correctly. capitalism, in fact, embraces and implements BOTH big business AND big govt. equalism denounces both. so, if you want to break free from repeating the mistakes of the past join the equalism movement. watch my latest videos - "equalism 143: Do We Really Have Socialism for the Rich?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fdw1DuYl_s&feature=youtu.be - "equalism 141: Was Hitler a Socialist?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb0ieKj0CcQ&feature=youtu.be -

  408.  @kirstinstrand6292  … I could talk about this all day. I find it enjoyable, exhilarating. and enlightening. but i'll make just one final comment. you're more than welcome to respond if you wish. personally, I don't believe in god at all. i'm not spiritual in any sense of the word. I have both my feet planted firmly on the ground and my attention directed strictly on earthly matters. but if someone wishes to believe in god - what the hell do i care? it ain't none of my business. as long as they don't use their belief's as an excuse to oppress others they're entitled to believe whatever they want. when I say i'm a follower of jesus i'm referring to his social teachings. it was the golden rule that was essentially the link I found in buddha, Socrates and jesus and I founded a philosophy called equalism based upon that link. I see jesus as a REVOLUTIONARY not a religious figure at all. and his revolution was based upon LOVE, cooperation and a denunciation of greed and materialism. this is what I've dedicated my life to. SOCIAL JUSTICE, HUMAN UNITY and PERSONAL INTEGRITY. and these things can be pursued and achieved regardless of and while maintaining our petty, individual differences. every comment I write, pretty much every thought I have is a reflection of this equalism philosophy. ALL non-predators are welcome to join the equalism movement, religious, atheist, conservative liberal. just leave your hate at the door and come on in!

  409. we DON'T need hate-crime or anti-lynching laws! we have TOO MANY laws as it is and the ones that protect our rights routinely go unenforced! what we need is the MANDATORY enforcement of the laws that protect us from murder, hate and assault and battery! we need to arrest, prosecute and imprison the cops and D.

  410. i'd like to say sanders should choose as his running mate the least known, most economic radical, living in poverty he can find. someone like me. but unfortunately his choosing a well known, left-leaning moderate politician would increase his base and broaden his appeal even further. so I suggest ANYONE but biden or clinton.

  413.  @gtaylor2455  no, i'm assuming that democracy is better than authoritarianism. that's why true democracy has two levels. it enforces majority decision making while protecting individual rights. democracy ISN'T mob rule. it isn't protecting the rights of the majority at the expense of all others. its the mutual protection of individual rights while directing society to the mutual benefit of all. and that's what true socialism does. democracy can't exist without socialism and vice versa.

  417.  @kathleenmitchell1582  … i'm not too sure about the civil war scenario. the oligarchs want a big, SINGLE oppressive corporate state not several smaller oppressive corporate states. I think its much more likely our rulers want civil unrest but won't let the country disintegrate or break up. and they'll use that unrest as an excuse to invoke even greater restrictions on our civil liberties. the REAL threat we face isn't a civil war but THE POLICE STATE that the elite have already begun to implement not only in the U. S. but globally. the 2 greatest threats humanity faces RIGHT NOW are the police state and climate change. and the civil unrest caused by our continued ignoring of climate change will result in even MORE INTRUSIVE police state measures to be enacted. why else would the world's corporate and political "leaders" be ignoring climate change? they want the chaos that'll ensue because it'll give them the rationale to further restrict our freedoms. AND PEOPLE WILL APPLAUD THESE EFFORTS!

  418.  @calichef1962 … I think your referring to "COINTELPRO" (counter intelligence programs) used by the FBI from '56--71. these were used to disrupt the civil rights and the antiwar movements, the SDS and the counter culture. but it was by no means the first or last times our govt had used infiltration as a tactic against human rights movements. infiltration was used in the 1910's and 1930's to disrupt the socialist and labor movements. and also used in the occupy movement and the green party. (they also infiltrated far-right groups like the KKK, the Nazi party and the militia networks.) the infiltrators spread disinformation, cause disunity and incite violence. the idea is to discredit the movement in the eyes of the public and to destroy or at least weaken it from within. assisination of leaders is just the more extreme method of handling dissent. they also imprison political dissenters, as they did with leary and others, or they just harass the hell out of them to the point of mental breakdown or suicide, as what happened with Hoffman and others. our govt can be very devious and lawless indeed. and when they set their eyes on you THEY ARE RELENTLESS!

  419.  @calichef1962  ... well there's 2 ways of looking at climate change. you can view it as nature getting its revenge and trying to kill us. or it can viewed as the industrialists and the profiteers who're causing climate change trying to kill us. I think the latter is most accurate. what I don't yet understand is why humanity allows the WORSE among us to rule the world and make ALL the social decisions that effect ALL our lives? why do we continue to follow and believe the worst people humanity has to offer? gangsters and thugs lead our social, political, economic, religious and scientific institutions. and this has been going on for over 6000 years - since the dawn of "civilization" and the rise of the first city states. is this cycle of insanity ever going to end? will our species EVER wake up and SCREAM - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!?

  420. carbon taxes was an idea presented by the oil companies so they could just keep right in polluting and pass the cost of the tax on to the consumer. not only a HORRIBLE IDEA but a total scam! here's a better and more efficient idea. make drilling for, spilling and using gas and oil for fuel a crime and enforce the damned law. stop kowtowing to the elite and doing EVERYTHING they demand. then you globally share - without debt - all the solar, wind and other non-polluting technologies with all other nations AND REDUCE THE HUIMAN brainwashed demand for and dependence on electricity, industrialization and technology. it ain't difficult, it ain't hard - YOU JUST DO THE DAMNED THING!

  422. maybe we should stop calling it "minimum wage" and start calling it a "livable wage' or "human-dignity wage" or a "real-value-based wage." we must remember slavery DOESN'T mean working for nothing. slaves got housing, clothes, food and even medical care provided for them. slavery means human bondage, dependence. its a development of a CLASS of people with NO RIGHTS, NO PROTECTIONS and NO RESPECT! there's wage slavery, debt slavery. there's slavery to the private sector and to the public sector. there's slavery to business and to govt. you can be a slave to govt programs as well as to an employer. you want to end slavery? stop perpetuating the LIE that socialism advocates big govt and govt programs. socialism, IS IN FACT, a social system where govt programs AREN'T needed for daily survival.

  423. THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS DAMNED COUNTRY. my landlord just committed FRAUD against me for the 2nd time. they've been violating the lease for nearly 2 YEARS! all three of my California landords have broken the lease and committed fraud. my neighbor has been harassing me relentlessly for the last 2 years. the student loan program has been stealing from my disability for the last 15 years. i'm on disability, receive medicare, FULL COVERAGE, yet I'm denied medical care. there are no doctors or dentists within 30 miles of me who accepts medicare. and I have no car and can't reach the ones who do. and I've been denied medical and dental care years past by the doctors I could get to. among my medical problems is a bad knee, a painful calf, i'm nearly deaf and wear STRONG glasses, I have 2 broken teeth and one of them makes it VERY PAINFUL to talk and eat, i suffer from CONSTANT dizziness accompanied with heads, nausea and vomiting and I suffer from depression. BUT I CAN'T GET TREATMENT FOR ANY OF IT! and I MUST NOW do my laundry in the sink because the laudry machine company converted to CASHLESS machines and I REFUSE to comply. I'M DENIED LEGAL REPRESENTATION and any hope of legal remedies. legal aid and over 30 lawyers I've contacted refuse to represent me because i'm poor. cops refuse to enforce the law. govt agencies and politicians ignore my pleas and cries for HELP! this is the reality for 10's of millions of poor, disabled and elderly americans. this is the SHITHOLE America has become. and the corporate elite, the GOP, the conservatives, the dems NOR THE PROGRESSIVES are addressing these everyday horrors the poor must endure. and the people are mindless, spineless,little weazles unwilling to stand, say NO MORE and REVOLT!

  424.  @davidowens5898  … true. bush wasn't RE-elected because he wasn't elected in the first place. the same holds true for trump. its IMPOSSIBLE for trump to be RE-elected because he was never elected to begin with. our electoral process is completely corrupted and has been for decades. and that 2016 election stunk to high heaven. it was the most obviously and blatantly corrupted presidential election yet. but there trump sits, in the white, being allowed to continue to pretend to be president. since the elite got away with illegally putting trump in the white house in 2016 - what's to stop them from doing the EXACT same thing in 2020? americans need to get up off of their butts and FIGHT for the enforcement of their own constitution!

  426. its really very simple. not really as complicated as the elite would have us believe. ALL elitist systems are capitalist. ALL capitalist systems are authoritarian. and ALL authoritarian systems are fascist. humanity has been ruled by fascist, thus capitalist, authoritarian and elitist systems for the last 6000. the difference now is that technology has turned the traditional "authoritarian" state into a police state and the global elite are MORE UNIFIED and OPPRESSIVE than ever before. a fascist state, with a "modern" police and military apparatus, that's being slowly, but methodically, implemented throughout the world is what we face RIGHT NOW! WELCOME TO REALITY! and welcome to your PRESENT SLAVERY and the future slavery of your children!

  427. +Jaime... you're the first person I've seen to recognize that these European counties are capitalist with a few socialistic characteristics. look at the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden; they ALL have an aristocratic, hierarchical social structure. socialism and an elite cannot co-exist. one thing these countries prove is that the American elite can virtually end poverty in this country RIGHT NOW and STILL be mega-wealthy but they just REFUSE to do it. why? they're cruel, psychopathic and greedy as all hell! THEY MUST BE REMOVED FROM POWER because they won't relinquish their absolute domination of America otherwise.

  428.  @bjxxx  … not just the GOP but the American elite. the elite spent billions rigging the 2016 election and there's nothing to stop them from doing it again! and why won't they? the American people sure as hell won't do anything to stop them. the elite are already rigging the democratic selection in biden's favor. if the so-called "choice" comes down between trump or biden the elite have already got their way yet AGAIN! just like the "choice" between trump and Clinton. uummm, lets see, which POS will I choose in 2020?

  430. actually, in the audio where trump addresses the U.N. staff, he says those who leaked the info to the whistleblower committed treason. he was instructing his staff to EXPOSE whistleblowing leakers. the whistleblower was told it's a common occurrence to falsely "classifying" as SECRET trump's conversations (phone and in-person) with almost EVERY ONE. its routine for trump to hold secret meetings with all kinds of people and in all kinds of ways. one way; they simply don't list the meeting on trump's itinerary. another way; no notes or record of the meeting is kept. a few years ago he held a "secret" meeting with putin where only interpreters were present that WE ALL knew about. this, in itself, was an IMPEACHABLE offense; a CRIME! yet NO ONE did anything about it! trump is a CRIMINAL! SECRECY is what criminals do!

  431. how do term limits strengthen lobbyists and special interests? its the corporate lobbyists who fund the re-election campaigns that keep the same politicians in office for decades! of course we need term limits. and we need remove elitist special interests from political influence. DAMN, we need an actual political system in this damned country. not just a political machine that rubber stamps corporate written legislation and grovels at the feet of the most corrupt people in the nation.
    2
  432. ... its not both sides of the political spectrum; its the "leadership" of BOTH major american political parties who are corrupt. remember, the dems don't represent the left. they're so-called "moderates; centrists. they're neo-liberals who embrace capitalism and the elitism and corruption that it brings. you can hear this crap from biden everyday as he trashes nationalized medicine, when 70% of ALL americans favor it, and trashes the movement for de-funding the police when those massive police dept funds are better suited for social programs to reduce crime rather than funding the police-state. biden and the dem "leadership" are no more leftist than the GOP. in fact, they're more "center-right" than moderates. BOTH parties, but not "both" ideologies, are pro-elitist, corporate shills. if the true left, progressives, socialists, or whatever you want to call them, were to become corrupt, then they would NO LONGER be the left. they would just be corrupt neo-liberals like the dems are now. btw, the left IS quickly disappearing in this country and becoming more fascist everyday. this is because of their leadership, not their ideology. the left is abandoning their ideology in favor of "political correctness" and "identity politics."

  433.  @livondiramerian6999  ... no, our political nominees are chosen by the elite. ever notice how these politicians have a tendency to RICH? when was the last time we had a president that was poor" or middle class? when was the last time congress or any state legislature had a member among them that wasn't an elitist? the elite choose our candidates. they choose OUR choices. because THEY FEAR US! they fear we might actually vote THEM, the elite, out of power. and, oh my god, WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!
    2
  434. the thing about these american political parties is, since we have only two of any consequence, they're supposed to represent a BROAD SPECTRUM of political thought. they're supposed to each possess extremist and moderate viewpoints. in parlamentary govts there are numerous political parties and they represent a very strict viewpoint. the point is they must CONSOLIDATE with each other to gain enough votes to rule. this is how the moderate elements prevent any unwanted extemism from taking full control. many parties negotiating and cooperating for the good of the country. the problem here is that the dems and the GOP are the same party of corporate elitist. they use minor, yet extreme positions, to differentiate themselves from each other. but both parties are pro-corprate with slightly different ideas on how to enforce that corportism.

  435.  @CaliCaroline  ... i'm not arguing with you. but there are "conservative" democrats and there used to be "liberal" republicans. personally, i think that mixture is a good thing. but when its used to obstruct the majority in power - that ain't good. you ever notice how it seems whenever a conservative gains power, they do basically whatever they want and they almost always get their way. on economic issues anyway. but when liberals take over they're met with obstruction and can't get any economic reforms through? it makes no since to me. why don't the dems just do what the GOP does and just do what they want anyway?

  436. corporations have now diversified. a single corporate conglomerate can own hundreds of different companies in a variety of industries. also, the same corporation can own many "competing" companies within the same industry. and the elite, the oligarchs who invest in and control these conglomerates have also conglomerated. the elite don't invest in these corporations individually anymore but through investment corporations that represent dozens if not hundreds of different investors all HIDING under the umbrella corporate investment firms. the elite have taken over EVERYTHING in this manner; the courts, the political process, employment demands and requirements, consumer rights and prices and govt agencies, congress and the "presidency" and this applies to the state and local levels as well. what the elite are achieving is AN INTERNATIONAL POLICE-STATE where the elite control all humanity from the private and public sectors. the elite on THE LEFT AND RIGHT do their part and play their roles. anti-smoking hysteria, transgenderism, breaking unions, gun violence, pop-culture worship and imitation, technological dependence and addiction, astro-turfing and fire-hosing are ALL a part of this police-state agenda to keep humanity confused, frustrated and DIVIDED! this is how they manipulate us and control us. and we, on BOTH SIDES, just keep accepting whatever insanity and absurdities our chosen "leadership" tells us to believe. we've lost our ability to distinguish reality from delusion and to think objectively and independently and what we have now, all the conflict and disunity is the result. THE POLICE-STATE ELITE ARE WINNING and we're letting them win.

  437. I heard a question about the epa, trump and the nra but none about disability payments. as a disabled person forced to survive on social security dependence I've seen my the value of my payments actually DECREASE the last 20 years often receiving NO cost-of-living increase at all. this year and last I received a whopping $240 annual increase. both the republicans and democrats have made a joke of social security. the longer you receive it the poorer you get! the U.S. has truly been taken over by madmen; sociopaths and psychopaths. WE MUST HAVE A REVOLUTION!

  438.  Bullets in Bacon Grease  1st of all, prison labor is paid about 25- 50 cents an hour. if you call that being "paid" then you need to snap back yo reality. 2nd, slavery has nothing to do with 'pay." ALL slaves are paid. they're paid with housing, meals, clothing and medical care. in fact in many ways slaves of the past had it better than the slaves of today. today, most of the world's slaves must fend for themselves without any guarantees of a job or social protections whatsoever. another way to look at this reality is - the elite have turned humanity into a slave species. just as the worker ant devotes its life to the queen, humans devote their entire lives to the elite. ahh, but the elite are slaves too! those of us with less money are slaves to those with more money - the elite. while the elite are slaves to the money itself. the elite have sold their souls to the mammon god. and this makes them slaves and the lowest forms of life on the planet!

  439. what disruption? for some unexplainable reason trump's being allowed to do whatever he wants. and you're right, the vast majority of americans couldn't give a damn. where's the mass protests, the civil disobedience and riots? americans are more concerned with their celebrity worship, the video games, their skateboarding, their body mutilation and getting stoned than with the crumbling of their government, their economy and their freedoms.

  442.  @marysouza1882  … remember the democrats are just as culpable in implementing the police state as the GOP. did you notice in the so-called debates not one mention of the police-state apparatus. not one mention of the dangers of the cashless economy, the surveillance society, the 5G network, the end of net-neutrality, the laws passed restricting and even illegalizing protests and dissent, the militarization of the police or the patriot act or homeland security. the police-state and climate change are both indications of the growing corruption and powers of the plutocracy.
    2
  443.  @marysouza1882  … but trump isn't being used as the "fall guy," he's being used as the catalyst for the "fall of the illusion of American democracy". no one forced trump to be a life-long criminal. the American and Russian oligarchs put him in the white house BECAUSE they knew he was a career criminal. they knew he'd cause chaos and disunity. they knew he'd ignore the constitution, violate federal law and do as he pleases. and they knew the GOP would back him and turn their party into trump's personal cult. and they knew the democrats were too spineless, indecisive, ineffectual and corrupt, themselves, to do anything to stop him. what's the democrats solution to trump? so far - its BIDEN! and although biden wouldn't ignore "presidential tradition" and violate the "law" and act as childish and erratic as trump, he's still NOT much better than trump. biden is just another pro-corporate, neo-liberal fascist. the oligarchs get their way REGARDLESS of which party is in power. but trump instigates the down-fall of the American democratic illusion quicker.

  444.  @marysouza1882  … i'll just end my side of this chat we're having by informing you the solution to our problems are EASY! we can't depend on some religious, rich or political savior to swoop down and save us. WE MUST SAVE OURSELVES! and the way to do that is simply stop playing this elitist game that's rigged against us and keeps us divided, disillusioned, frustrated and flabbergasted. and I founded a new philosophy, called equalism, that UNITES us all through our mutual rejection of this absurd social system we've been brainwashed since birth to accept.

  446. yes I talk about this on my equalism channel a lot. people talk about the unaffordability of medical care, housing, college and even food but NEVER talk about how the LEGAL INDUSTRY prices itself out of reach of those americans who need legal representation the MOST! the human and constitutional rights of the lower classes, which includes the middle class, are routinely violated EVERYDAY and they've no where to turn for legal remedies or representation. BUT THIS IS NEVER DISCUSSED. I wonder why? the reality is if the poor had access to the courts there'd be NO MORE poor! if you're interested I can send you some links to my equalism where I discuss this travesty in detail.

  447.  @RAV1953  ... yes. the whole system is insane. you don't VOTE to impeach a traitor. you arrest the damned bastard! it doesn't matter what office he claims to hold. if the traitor has corrupted law enforcement so much they refuse to enforce the law, then you send in the military to ARREST all the traitors. that's how you protect a republic from a violent fascist take over! it ain't no secret. you just do it, YOU JUST ENFORCE THE LAW!

  448. it also can't be under emphasized the role the internet has played not only in general consolidation of the news media but the decline of readership for local papers as well. its helped separate us from our own communities. we're indebted to orgs like Common Cause Media and people like Yosef Geachew and Hartman to keep us informed on this CRISIS! unfortunately, its up to the people to demand an end to this unconstitutional and anti-democratic media consolidation and local media decline. I don't see americans doing much of anything to protect themselves from this corporate police-state.

  450. Trumpism is a cult. many on the right have joined the trump cult just like many on the left joined the Obama cult. the difference is many on the left left the Obama cult as soon as his fraud was revealed. but the trump cultists choose to stay in his cult regardless of what that criminal says or does. and this is one thing that makes the trump cultists so dangerous; they've lost ALL touch with objective reality. they've lost all ability to see beyond his own hype and self-aggrandizement and see the truth. they are now completely unable to think for themselves which is evident in that fact that trump wasn't even ever a REAL conservative. they CARE about nothing BUT trump!

  451. no, its time to abolish standard time. we want to keep daylight savings time. it gives us more daylight during our waking hours. but leave it to the elite - they'll even screw up this simple task.

  452. all elite, CEOs, politicians and presidents lie. but trump lies about EVERYTHING! even about small inconsequential things and obvious facts. other presidents at least used an occasional "no comment" but not trump. he has an, apparently, uncontrollable compulsion to respond to EVERYTHING, to talk about ANYTHING and to lie as he responds. some of it is the "salesman" in him, some of it is his propensity for self-promotion and being the center of attention, some of it is his megalomania and his delusions of grandeur. but most of it is just pure pathology. he's lied his whole life, gotten away with it and gotten what he wants. in his twisted mind he's thinking - hey, if it works, why change it? and half his cult followers know he's lying, don't care and admire him for it and the other half actually believe this pathological liar and his lying sycophants; McConnell, Graham, Limbaugh, Conway, et al. they've all sold their souls to the insanity of the trump cult.

  453. hell the GOP, RIGHT NOW, is supporting attacks on journalists, public health care workers, school boards and election officials across the country. they have become america's NAZI party.

  454. there's several reasons why the elite aren't prosecuted for hiring of illegal immigrants. among them are CHEAP labor, labor they can screw out of their pay entirely and SERVANT labor. there aren't too many Americans willing to mow the lawns and wipe the baby's butts of the elite. these jobs are what the left call - jobs americans don't want. and the left claims without illegals to fill these jobs, including migrant labor, the American economy would collapse. which is absurd. without the elite's exploitation of illegal labor they'd have to mow their own lawns, clean their own houses and wipe their own baby's butts. its the elite who break this law which is why its no longer enforced. also, the immigration problem issue DIVIDES us which is precisely what the elite want so that want this problem to continue.

  455. war WILL solve climate change - if it kills off enough people. because its WE THE PEOPLE who are contributing to it through our greed, addictions to and dependence on technology and electricity and our complacency and refusal to do what WE NEED TO DO to stop it! we complain yet take no action! we insist upon our convenience over ethics and responsibility. we demand a plasticized, concrete, asphalt paved, artificial world over our own TRUE and INHERENT and HEALTHY connection to nature and our planet.

  456. the trump cult would much rather have a civil war and kill other americans than to go overseas and kill people. they'll leave that to the American poor who join the military to get out of poverty.

  457. few laws are passed with any intent of enforcement. only the laws passed that protect elitist interests, wealth and power are ever routinely and vigorously enforced. why do you think immigration laws have gone unenforced the last 80 years? its because illegal immigration CREATES social divisions and animosity. and keeping the citizens divided and fighting each other keeps us from UNITING against out true common enemy - THE ELITE!

  458. WOW... everyone... you know what's REALLY disturbing? a video was just put up on youtube by some corporate crap group called "blackpink. it has 12 MILLION VIEWS IN AN HOUR! now that's both very scary and very sad! this horrible fact alone demonstrates the sorry state of of the world's contemporary culture. thanks corporate elite for corrupting everything you touch.

  459. playing golf and giving campaign speeches aren't quite essential presidential responsibilities. secrecy and cover ups is the american way! I've been saying this since the 2016 sham election. to investigate and prosecute trump for his crimes BOTH parties would implicating themselves in bribery and corruption charges GALORE! that's one reason Pelosi is against impeachment and the mueller investigation was so limited in scope and took over 2 years!

  460.  @laurenchobert8985  ... YES! socialism IS NOT the redistribution of wealth - capitalism is! it takes money from ALL society and gives it to the rich who then redistribute that wealth, through wages and govt programs, as they see fit. they take 100% of society's money, keep 90% of it for themselves. then redistribute what's left back to society for the rest of us to FIGHT OVER! they pit us against each other by making us fight EACH OTHER over the scraps they throw our way.

  464. interesting distinction. terrorist groups are cults. and so's fascism. the Italian fascista and the Nazi's were both cults that centered around the personalities of Mussolini and hitler. not unlike the republican party has with Reagan and trump. but the democrats did it too with FDR and kennedy. let's face it. American politics and economics derives its authority and power from CULTISM! America has become a nation of cults and terror!

  465. its part of a campaign to destroy democracy throughout the world. since the thatcher/Reagan era oligarchic fascism has been spreading and growing all over the world right along with neo-liberal laissez-faire capitalism, global elitist wealth and the police state and human dependence on inter-connected technological systems. if anyone doesn't see a link between these concurrent developments is blind as all hell! this scam actually began right after ww2. it was accelerated by thatcher and reagan and its grown incrementally worse ever since. WAKE UP! we NEED a revolution and NOW!
    2
  466. first you must remove the obstructionist party from legitimacy. as long as the GOP remains intact you can forget about any productive political reform. the GOP is even obstructing the investigation into their party's involvement in the 1-6 insurrection. they are the party of fraud, obstruction and cover-up. as long as the GOP organization stays a part of the govt serious reform is IMPOSSIBLE! when you have a "two party" political system and one of those parties becomes treasonous and corrupt and represnt the dismantling or the destruction of the republic, you have only two choices. either let them or declare the treasonous party illegal. ever since nixon the GOP has become less democratic, more deceitful, more anti-human rights, more corrupt, and more criminal. meanwhile, over the last 50 years the dems have DONE NOTHING to stop that party from becoming the party of traitors. in fact, over the years they've become MORE like the GOP! i guess watergate, instead of being a major step in removing corruption from govt, was actually the beginning of the end of this country. who'd a thunk it? what did germany do after wwll? they criminalized the nazi party and as a result experienced nearly a century of growth and unity. i suggest we damned well better declare the GOP the criminal, corrupt organization that they are and start rounding up these traitors and throwing them in prison OR we WON'T have a country in 5 or 10 years. and putin, xi and the rest of the damned global and american fascists will have gotten their way AGAIN!
    2
  467. that's not the only way reagan stole that so-called election. he also illegally received copies of carter's debate points and strategies. then he had his speech writers come up responses. of course many americans were stupid enough to believe reagan was displaying some kind of quick wit when all along it was professionally prepared retorts based upon a STOLEN information. this means Reagan, like trump, WASN'T the legal president! you can only become president through legal means. if you commit crimes to occupy the white house that's called a coup d'état and you're NOT president! reagan was indeed an underhanded sleaze ball and the GOP has only gotten so much worse since then! the U.S., and even the democratic party have gone to complete crap since reagan.
    2
  468. my question is, why do these people, journalists or ANYONE, still call trump "president"? the mueller report proved trump isn't the legal president. whenever I hear anyone call trump "president" I just wanna slap the crap out of them!

  469. THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS DAMNED COUNTRY. my landlord just committed FRAUD against me for the 2nd time. they've been violating the lease for nearly 2 YEARS! all three of my California landords have broken the lease and committed fraud. my neighbor has been harassing me relentlessly for the last 2 years. the student loan program has been stealing from my disability for the last 15 years. i'm on disability, receive medicare, FULL COVERAGE, yet I'm denied medical care. there are no doctors or dentists within 30 miles of me who accepts medicare. and I have no car and can't reach the ones who do. and I've been denied medical and dental care years past by the doctors I could get to. among my medical problems is a bad knee, a painful calf, i'm nearly deaf and wear STRONG glasses, I have 2 broken teeth and one of them makes it VERY PAINFUL to talk and eat, i suffer from CONSTANT dizziness accompanied with heads, nausea and vomiting and I suffer from depression. BUT I CAN'T GET TREATMENT FOR ANY OF IT! and I MUST NOW do my laundry in the sink because the laudry machine company converted to CASHLESS machines and I REFUSE to comply. I'M DENIED LEGAL REPRESENTATION and any hope of legal remedies. legal aid and over 30 lawyers I've contacted refuse to represent me because i'm poor. cops refuse to enforce the law. govt agencies and politicians ignore my pleas and cries for HELP! this is the reality for 10's of millions of poor, disabled and elderly americans. this is the SHITHOLE America has become. and the corporate elite, the GOP, the conservatives, the dems NOR THE PROGRESSIVES are addressing these everyday horrors the poor must endure. and the people are mindless, spineless,little weazles unwilling to stand, say NO MORE and REVOLT!

  470. @Olivia P … but then you have the issue of - who's going to count the paper ballots and confirm they match the machines? and then you have gerrymandering and voter suppression issues where even a CORRECT and HONEST vote count represents a corrupt conclusion. both major parties are devious and corporate. the conservatives, liberals and progressives ALL support crazy issues and positions. but the GOP literally STEALS elections. the U.S. is a left-leaning country. economically speaking - i'd say FAR-LEFT! the '29 crash, FDR and the civil rights movement all pushed us in that direction. but just look at the GOP control of the federal and state legislatures. look at how many GOP governors there are. just look at all the pro-corporate legislation passed in the last 50 years. and you know something is rigged here. they lie, cheat and misrepresent themselves and their goals to win elections. without STRICT and POWERFUL measures to stop this elitist, corporate takeover of our country I don't see how any election reform will solve anything.

  471. medicare sux. i'm on it and can't get medical care. we want nationalized health care. NO ONE LIKES THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES! and that includes the auto, home or medical insurance companies. insurance companies make their money through denial of care, through overselling you insurance you don't need or underselling you insurance YOU DESPERATELY NEED! the insurance industry is one of the most HATED and MISTRUSTED industries in the world! for the MSM and dem candidates to continue to misrepresent and demonize national health care is the perfect example of far-right, pro-insurance industry fear mongering. good job in promoting the agenda of the corrupt, profiteering insurance companies. the solution is simple: you raise corporate and elitist taxes to fair and reasonable levels, reduce the military budget, increase middle class taxes by about a $100 a year, ELIMINATE sky-high insurance premiums, deductibles and co-pay and you receive FULL medical coverage in return. this is what 100's of nations, both big and small, rich and poor, do right now and guess what? THEIR COUNTRIES AREN'T BEING DESTROYED! but not in backward, medieval America! OH MY GAWD! damn socialism will kill us ALL! providing universal healthcare is SATANIC and DESTRUCTIVE! you damn stupid fools. wake the hell up!

  472.  @judyhogan3281  … the problem is in America the elite have too much control over what we hear and think. today, too many americans are suspicious of progress or any change at all. I guess we're tired of being told by our "leaders" on the right and left that some change will benefit us when we just keep getting the shaft over and over. that's what our elite does. they offer us some benefit then sabotage and corrupt it so it falls far short of the benefit promised. most everything we're told will make our lives better just ends making the lives of the elite better instead. the elite have got americans and all of American society under LOCK AND KEY! and most of us are just to blind to see it and/or too apathetic and disillusioned to do anything about it.

  473. Trumpism is a cult. many on the right have joined the trump cult just like many on the left joined the Obama cult. the difference is many on the left left the obama cult as soon as his fraud was revealed. but the trump cultists choose to stay in his cult regardless of what that criminal says or does. and this is one thing that makes the trump cultists so dangerous; they've lost ALL touch with objective reality. they've lost all ability to see beyond his own hype and self-aggrandizement and see the truth. they are now completely unable to think for themselves which is evident in that fact that trump wasn't even ever a REAL conservative. they CARE about nothing BUT trump!

  474. its the evangelicals that have left Christianity. I could bring up MANY points but I'll just mention 2: 1) the golden rule, which is advocated throughout history by numerous cultures and religions and commonly ignored through the excuse of "pragmatism" and inconvenience, and 2) Jesus' several denunciations of wealth and materialism, both of which the evangelicals vigorously embrace. i founded a new and innovative philosophy called equalism which i'm proud to say supports the social teachings of jesus (among others). but the "left" HAS made a huge error in its blanket denunciation of "religion." I hear it all the time and it sickens me. Christians were among the first socialists and abolitionists. its time to throw Marx's disdain for religion on the trash heap of history. equalism understands, like science, religion is neither good or bad but its their "leaders" and the elite who corrupt them both.

  477. its not the press that's dividing us but the elite who owns the mainstream news media. the elite on the left and right perpetuate social conflict pitting us against each other so THEY maintain their power. there's a new and innovative philosophy called equalism that's based upon this reality! you wanna stop this nonsense? stop playing the elitist game of divide and conquer. stop believing the so-called left and eight are mortal enemies. WE'RE NOT! fascists and anti-fascists are in mortal conflict for the future of human freedom and there are fascists and anti-fascists on BOTH sides. and many (most) of them can't even identify themselves correctly because of all the misinformation, lies and fire-hosing the fascist elite spew on a daily basis! watch my equalism channel if you ever want to actually end this INSANE perpetual cycle of conflict the elite have implemented over the last 6000 years!

  478. excellent point. not only health care and education but LEGAL SERVICES; legal representation, court access and law enforcement should be PUBLICALLY, SOCIALLY and TAX PAYER FUNDED! justice ISN'T a private commodity but a social obligation. and justice can't be served when its denied people due to exorbitant fees and financial restrictions. the Magna Carta which was written by a bunch of elitist OVER 800 years ago, in 1215, says, in Clause 40: ‘To no one shall we sell, delay or deny right or justice’. but in America, as in the rest of the world, lack of money is the most common excuse for lack of justice, court access and legal representation. in fact if the poor had equal access to the law, courts and legal representation equal access to health care and college would soon follow and poverty itself would in fact DISAPPEAR because the existence poverty is IMMORAL, UNETHICAL, a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS and thus ILLEGAL!

  479.  Frederic Bastiat  … its capitalism that redistributes wealth - NOT SOCIALISM! capitalism funnels ALL monies, your money and tax money into the pockets of the elite. where its accumulated into fewer and fewer hands. that's how capitalism works. socialism STOPS this theft, this redistribution of wealth.

  480. @Albert D Campbell … you've yet to recognize or admit to trump's life time of criminality and you think I need to broaden my sources if info? that's a laugh. you're only sources of info is FOX's tucker Carlson, right wing conspiracy radio and trump, the liar-in-chief, himself.
    2
  481. @Albert D Campbell … what trouble? evidence of trump's crimes are all over the place. trump's criminality was well documented EVEN BEFORE he stole the white house. denying reality, as is the favored GOP tactic, doesn't change reality. trump has been a spoiled, privileged elitist buffoon and criminal for over 45 years! to switch from sanders to trump was nothing more than a complete betrayal of everything sanders stood for. there's just absolutely no excuse to continue to support such a proven low-life as trump. my advice - LEAVE THE TRUMP CULT ASAP. while you can still salvage what little integrity you have left.
    2
  482. you expected sanders to go third party, split the liberal vote and hand the election over to trump? he stayed on goal and the goal was to keep a criminal as dangerously corrupt, ill informed, incompetent and narcissistic as trump from the presidency. and they succeeded. as vile as Clinton was Americans still chose her over trump. which shows you just how hated and despised trump really is! but the American oligarchs, bankers, wall-street thieves, media and corporate CEO's stepped in and placed trump in the white house anyway. so now we have no legal president and trump's chaos, buffoonery and reality-show stunts have shamed this country. and its damned time to put an end to this trump scam.

  483. its been my experience that pot prices have skyrocketed since legalization. the profiteers and investors have taken over and corrupted this industry just like any other.

  484. my ex-landlord extorted 50 grand from me and my parents and no one cares. the student loan program has stolen over 11 grand from my disability for a $3500 debt i don't owe. no one cares. i'm extremely ill, receiving full medicare, no deductible or co-pay, and a CAN'T get medical care. no one cares. I've notified cops, govt agencies, political reps, the news media and lawyers. no one cares. I've posted YT videos about all these crimes against me. no one watches OR CARES! I've been SCREAMING for justice for over 15 years but no one cares. is it any wonder criminals have taken over the country and the world? no one cares! no one wants to do anything. they go protest some stupid straight pride parade. they spend millions helping illegal immigrants. but when it comes to the American POOR! NO ONE CARES!

  485. equalism has denounced the use of this technology since its inception. the list of police state technologies that MUST be banned isn't short but very long indeed. and equalism has denounced each and everyone of them. but they won't stop as long as corporations remain unrestricted in their creation and fascists continue to control our "police-forces" and our govt at all levels. just think; if people had listened to the equalism movement we would be years ahead on this fight. the cashless economy is being implemented RIGHT NOW and no one, except equalists, ate actively denouncing it. militarized police and public and retail surveillance has been around for decades! WHY do people just keep accepting the police-state as inevitable. IT'S NOT! we have to STOP accepting this technology at face value and then wonder why its flaws suddenly being exposed years, or decades, after the fact! we have to STOP waiting till something goes wrong before we act.
    2
  486. right now there's a program can alter video IN REAL TIME! it alters reality as its being recorded. there's programs that can alter video images and audio to make ANYONE appear to do and say things they never did and never said. our sense of reality is being completely corrupted. we have NO idea what's real anymore, what to trust. and the elite want us this way. the cashless economy, cell-phone tracking and surveillance technology imbedded into our retail devices are ALREADY violating human rights on a daily basis. its inaccuracy is irrelevant. the danger isn't that its prone to malfunction. its danger is that it'll function as intended. ALL police-state technology is a danger to humanity and a threat to human rights - that's its INTENDED function.

STOP MEDICATING OUR DAMNED KIDS! - and our adults for that mater! we've let the elite sell us the scam that pills are THE answer to all our problems. we gotta pill popping epidemic! pills WON'T solve your damned problems but JUSTICE will! throw your mind numbing, mind control pills in the trash AND FIGHT FOR JUSTICE INSTEAD!

  490. carbon taxes was an idea presented by the oil companies so they could just keep right in polluting and pass the cost of the tax on to the consumer. not only a HORRIBLE IDEA but a total scam! here's a better and more efficient idea. make drilling for, spilling and using gas and oil for fuel a crime and enforce the damned law. stop kowtowing to the elite and doing EVERYTHING they demand. then you globally share - without debt - all the solar, wind and other non-polluting technologies with all other nations AND REDUCE THE HUIMAN brainwashed demand for and dependence on electricity, industrialization and technology. it ain't difficult, it ain't hard - YOU JUST DO THE DAMNED THING!
    2
  491. as long as the predators continue to corrupt our govt I don't see any of this happening BUT - we need to DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING! NO MORE CORPORATE OR GOVT SECRETS! "national security" is just a catch-all ruse that permits the govt to hide its crimes. and trump is the perfect of example. trump has avoided prison over the last 35 through SECRECY! and he brought that tactic to his so-called campaign and continues it in the Whitehouse. organized crime uses secrecy to its advantage as do serial killers and rapists, child molesters AND the elite and their corporations. what do you think forced arbitration and confidentiality agreements are all about? - keeping secrets and punishing whistleblowers. and trump has forced his entire staff to sign confidentiality agreements. this of course is ILLEGAL! trump keeps secret his taxes, his education records and his business history. he stashes away his conversation with foreign leaders and official into a TOP-SECRET govt data base. SECRECY AND DEMOCRACY CAN'T CO-EXIST! if you really want freedom and govt and corporate accountability DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING!

  494. I've been hearing threats of civil war from trump supporters since before his theft of the white house. I hear it about 3 or 4 times a month from one damned nut or another. my life has been personally threatened over 10 times. these are trump cultists; and they're sick and twisted just like any cult members. their sense of reality is corrupted. they are willing to kill for their cult leader. there's at least one way to stop these maniacs. IMPEACH TRUMP NOW! because the chances are in another pseudo-election the elite will fix another election in his favor and this country CANNOT endure 4 more years of this criminal pretending to be president. but guess what? the  dems WON'T impeach him! so be prepared for a combination of disasters in the near future - increasing effects of climate change, a ever more powerful police-state and more violent civil unrest from the fascist trump cult.

  495. +eekins… when they go after him? what are they waiting for?! for climate change to make hell freeze over? its been 2 years! it doesn't take 2 years to convict someone of 35 tears of crimes.
    2
  496. +eekins… the statute of limitations ends when the crimes become known. they don't apply simply because of a corrupt refusal to prosecute. in other words, a criminal doesn't get pass just because he pays off people to avoid prosecution.

  497. Ayn Rand greatly inspired the ultra-fascism of today's right, in all its incarnations. like rand, today's american fascists don't hate this country because its too fascist. they hate it because its not fascist enough. when reagan's fascism wasn't extreme enough for you, you know you're pretty damned fascists.

  498. capitalism is just a repackaging of feudalism and vice versa. there's actually no REAL difference between the 2. they both enslave the people for the benefit of the elite. and the sooner we do away with and reject silly, irrelevant distinctions and look at the big picture the sooner we'll SEE and UNDERSTAND the truth. civilization brought us the elite, fascism, authoritarianism, greed, corruption, slavery, poverty, prejudice, war AND capitalism. civilization was an elitist invention designed to solidify, enforce and perpetuate elitist power and control over humanity. and its done just that over the last 6000 years!

  499.  @davidlafleche1142  … perhaps. but national health care isn't. its, in fact, very possible and the definition of "fair." the question is, why are you so dead set against protecting American's human right to medical care?
    2
  500.  @davidlafleche1142  … "socialized medicine" ISN'T a lie. about 100 countries provide it right now. if those countries can do it surely the richest nation on earth can do it as well. its just matter or priorities. either your priority is making rich people richer or its protecting the human rights of your citizens. go back and read my initial comment and see just as easy funding nationalized medical care really is. the problem rests not in funding but distribution - making sure DOCTORS don't deny medical care and allowing patients themselves their RIGHT to be in charge of their own care. and the solution to that problem can be easily resolved too. ALL WE NEED DO IS DO IT - NO MORE EXCUSES!
    2
  501.  @davidlafleche1142  … I knew that would be the basis of your argument. the elite OWE US EVERYTHING! where do you think they get their wealth? they get from US! and ethics dictates they return that wealth back to the society from which it was stolen. lastly, when the hell did evangelicals turn to hating the democratic principles on which our nation was founded? you know who else hated democracy? - THE FASCISTS! you're now embracing the same fascist rhetoric as Hitler and Mussolini. good for you. sorry, but you guys are getting nuttier and more anti-American by the day!

  502.  @CaliCaroline  ... i think that's about the kindest consideration i've ever received. i've had my life directly threatened over 10 times the last 5 years. what's odd is that i criticize and expose the shortcomings on both the left and right but its ONLY the right, and specifically, the trump cult, that's ever threatened me. i just report the threats to youtube and the FBI; not like THEY really care. but the threats don't scare me. screw 'em. only cowards make insane, anonymous threats over the internet. thanks for your kindness and lets work real hard, together, to enlighten the unenlightened. whether it works or not its all we can do - EXPOSE THE TRUTH!
    2
  503. yes, good point. there's nothing free in "free trade." like capitalism ISN'T free-marketism. there's nothing free under capitalism; not markets, not products or services and NOT PEOPLE! fascists use the word "free" as a marketing scam. its mere PR. it means nothing to them. to them, slavery IS freedom. as long as you're a slave to corporations or to an elitist ruled corporate state they're all for it. they want the rich to be "free" and the rest of us to be the subjects of and slaves to that elite. fair trade is EQUAL trade. and everyone wins. "compete, compete, compete!" i'm so sick of hearing that malarky! progress is made through cooperation NOT CONFLICT! when you compete there's losers. and thos "losers" become jealous, envious and very ANGRY! competeion leads to animosity, suspicion, inequality and POVERTY! when humanity cooperates you'll create a world like we've never seen. no one's left out, no ones gets screwed, no one's left behind. there's no one to feel animosity, fear or hatred toward. WE ALL WIN! when we compete maybe a few win and the rest loses. a few individuals GAIN privilege, wealth and power and society bears the brunt of the corruption that results. compeition encourages theft, lying anf fraud. because that's a sure fire way to assure YOU WIN! fascists stress comptetition. a free and productive people stress the unity of cooperation.

  504. what? the Democrats are corrupt too? who'd a thunk it! we have ONE party rule in this country and each state. the dems and GOP are two sides of the same corrupt elitist, corporate party. in 2020 it looks like the dems are gonna force Biden in as their candidate. yet another, Clinton style corporate politician. this will probably be the excuse the elite use to keep trump in white house. why are the dems dragging their feet on impeachment? the mainstream media keeps releasing polls that a majority of americans oppose impeaching trump. if you believe that you'll believe it win we're told biden wins the dems primary in 2020. uummm, you think its time to revolt yet?

  505. I've noticed all kinds of weird and wacky things occurring on YT lately. 2 of which are - the page often freezes when I try to post a comment and now i'm being subjected to 2 commercials back to back before each video and whenever any commercial is shown. YT has really gone down hill but they don't care because they know they have a captive audience and a monopolized service.

  506. there's several reasons why the elite aren't prosecuted the hiring of illegal immigrants. among them are CHEAP labor, labor they can screwed out of their pay entirely and SERVANT labor. there aren't too many Americans willing to mow the lawns and wipe the baby's butts of the elite. these jobs are what the left call - jobs americans don't want. and the left claims without illegals to fill these jobs, including migrant labor, the American economy would collapse. which is absurd. without the elite's exploitation of illegal labor they'd have to mow their own lawns, clean their own houses and wipe their own baby's butts. its the elite who break this law which is why its no longer enforced. also, the immigration problem issue DIVIDES us which is precisely what the elite want so that want this problem to continue.

  509. the reality is we have no functioning govt right now. and since trump wasn't legally elected we have no president right now either. and this idiot who wasn't legally elected is defying constitutional law and congressional subpoenas. and he's ignoring the separation of powers and making more unilateral decisions every day. he bypasses congressional authority and just signs executive orders, declares false emergencies and is basically getting away with doing whatever the hell he wants AND NO ONE IS STOPPING HIM! Pelosi belongs in prison right along side trump as long as she continues to let this maniac who stole the white house act like damned dictator! and now we have the summer congressional recess approaching where all this will be delayed even further and trump will act like even more of a dictator! the dems DON'T need Pelosi to impeach this criminal! so IMPEACH this SOB ALREADY!!
    2
  510. trump wasn't popularly elected either. he WASN'T even legally elected. and since he's stolen the white house he's used fear and terror to incite his support. he's used false declarations of emergency and executive orders to circumvent congress and do as he pleases, refused to obey congressional and law enforcement subpoenas and insults and demonizes his critics and opponents. sound familiar?
    2
  511.  @katalac  … well, i'm not a republican either. but there ARE many GOP members and orgs that want trump out as much as anyone else. trump's the most despised person in the country. the only people who seem to defend this con-man, incompetent and criminal are his dwindling cult and the GOP in congress. and the GOP in congress don't even like trump personally. they're tired of being embarrassed by him and having to defend his constant buffoonery. they just want the federal judges he's giving them. and defending someone you personally despise because you can use them is about as low as you can go.

  512. I received the census long form last time and refused to turn it in because I believed they were asking me all kinds of inappropriate questions. when they came knocking on my door I told them i'd be more than happy to fill out the short form and they refused to let me do that. so they got nothing. its illegal for the census to be used for ANYTHING but counting people. just like its illegal to use your voter registration and drivers licenses for jury duty. these data bases are being used illegally EVERYWHERE and in every conceivable way. but what's wrong with asking about citizenship? what better way to determine how many illegals are here taking our jobs and using our govt programs. as long as its used just for counting and not enforcement. i'll tell you one thing. if you liberals don't change your insane position of defending illegal immigration your opening the door for still another illegal term of trump in the white house. and for gawd's sake we don't want anymore of trump's INSANITY do we?
    2
  513.  @andymonk9505  … I don't understand your comment or how it applies to barr, trump and his staff and cabinet. are you saying its acceptable to ignore subpoenas?
    2
  514. this may be a plan but it ain't trump's plan. he's not smart enough to devise such an intricate strategy. he's doing what his puppet masters tell him. which is why they pit him in white house in the first place. which is why they only gave us 2 choices of criminals for "president." the elite own the world. that's what all this debt was for. they own the debt they own YOU! when they pull the strings the world's politicians jump and we suffer.

  515. it doesn't have to be like this. WAKE UP and stop playing their game! join the equalism movement and we WILL UNITE and remove the elite, and their police state, from power!

  516.  @feverflav1972  ... you know, concerning your comment "a false narrative that we dispise each other." i agree completely. i, in fact, founded a philosophy called "equalism" based upon exposing and rejecting this false narrative. equalism says - the left and right AREN'T mortal enemies. its the "leadership" on BOTH sides that exploit the animosity, THEY CREATE, to maintain power over us all. the elite create the divisions and then demand we choose sides. this benefits ONLY the elite who's corrupt rule depends on our continued gullibility to accept such INSANITY! you're welcome to visit my channel to learn more about equalism. let's UNITE for the common good and stop playing this game they've created that pits us against one another.

  517. +Sergio… I know mexico, like most every nation on earth these days, comprises of many different races and ethnicities. but the largest ethnic group in mexico, and throughout latin America, is that of Spanish decent. just like in the U.S. its british. I went to school with several Mexican americans and i'll tell you what, if it wasn't for their last names you could never tell they were Mexican or hispanic. that's because most Hispanics are of Spanish (European) decent. its the Hispanic culture, which is largely based upon Spanish culture, that differentiates latin America from the U.S and Canada - whose culture is based largely on british traditions. if we all spoke the same language and followed the same traditions you would hardly be able to tell apart anyone in the western hemisphere.
    2
  518. no, the irish aren't british. and you're right. they say over 30% are of german decent and 30% are irish. but i'm afraid that's BS! I guess it depends on how they define "decent." but no, 60 to 70% of americans aren't german and irish. that's just stupid unless the Pennsylvania dutch have grown to 100 million people - and I don't believe they have. use you're brain man. learn to differentiate between reality and lies. the surnames smith and jones are the most common surnames for a reason.

  519.  @CandC68  … yes, the politicians are, of course, simply puppets of the real power in this country. and that real power lies in the hands of the economic elite who've been given the license to write their own laws, choose our political candidates, alter elections and corrupt the political and economic system to their advantage. the nation-state is dead. welcome to the corporate-state which possesses no national loyalties or democratic goals. govts at EVERY level are corporations and as such are mere subsidiaries to the giant conglomerates that really rule the world.
    2
  520. i recently read an article, sorry, can't remember the author, that calls trump the biggest bio-terrorist in history. and they're RIGHT! trump's criminality is worse THAN EVER and the biggest crime of all - WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO REMOVE HIM before the election,- for any reason! and despite the fact he didn't even win any election! the U. S. is in DIRE need of a constitutional makeover. but don't expect any substantial improvements in the system as long as the Dems, the GOP, the corporations and the elite maintain their absolute monopoly over our economy and political process. there's only one solution - REVOLITION! the corrupt elite has given us NO CHOICE.

  521. this has been a gop/heritage foundtion/libertarian plan for 50 years. the gop steals elections through fraud, deciet, fearmongering, gerrymandering and direct rigging, then sabotage govt agencies and programs and then claim they don't work and need to be "privatized" or completely remove them all together. why should the govt do anything for anyone when private enterprise can profit from those "services." according to the gop the govt has no obligation to anyone except the rich. the rest of us are ON OUR OWN! there's a word for this type of govt - FASCISM!

  522. trump's supporters are all fully aware of his crimes but they don't care. they see trump as they see all the conservative elite; ABOVE THE LAW. they see these qualities as STRENGTH and its what they seek in their leaders. they want a ruthless, iron hand to rule them. as long as HE calls himself a conservative instead of a liberal.
    2
  523. i'm afraid you're right. the dems are to spineless to impeach. and they've waited too damned long. trump will get away with his crimes YET AGAIN! and the result will be 4 more years of trump. just wait and see. for once, I hope i'm wrong!

  524. trump controls NOTHING. not even his own speech as he can't shut the hell up and stop lying. the oligarchs control HIM. he does their bidding. trump is just corrupt puppet. a slimy little weasel with no integrity or ethics. he doesn't have the brains to be anything else.

ALSO, trump ordering people to defy subpoenas is witness tampering. telling them what they can and cannot say in their testimony is witness tampering. and the whole idea behind "executive privilege," which ISN'T in the constitution or mentioned in any federal law, is just a means to allow presidents (TRUMP, IN FACT, IS NOT PRESIDENT, the mueller probe proved that, but he occupies the white house anyway) to cover their crimes under a veil of secrecy. secrecy has NO place in a democracy OR republic. loyalty to ANYTHING other than the constitution AND the American people, their freedom and their RIGHT to know, is in fact fascism and we've had fascism here in the U. S. for many years. oligarchies, elitist privilege and fascism are ALL the same thing!

  527. I moved to the Mojave desert 5 and a half years ago and this winter rain season we had more rain and colder temperatures on more days by far than I've ever seen in that entire time. we even had snow flurries on 4 separate occasions. the elite, in conjunction with scientists and engineers have brainwashed us to accept living out of balance with nature. for 200 years they've lied about the benefits of trading our natural balance and selling our souls and freedom in exchange for industrialization, technology, convenience, materialism, consumerism and the greedy, destructive pursuits of the almighty dollar. not only did we fall for it, WE'RE STILL FALLING FOR IT!  we AREN'T supposed to be living like this! wake up, STAND UP and take an active role in ENDING this insanity.

  528. well, you lost me there. U. S. citizens aren't proper americans but illegal immigrants are? that makes no sense. and illegal immigrants aren't taking jobs? of course they are. how do you think their living? this is one of the biggest flaws on the left. as you continue to support and defend illegal immigration you're traditional defense of American poor and labor is undermined. you can't have both ways - you can't defend the American disenfranchised by adding to their ranks; and increasing competition for jobs and social services. you van be for the enforcement of immigration laws WITHOUT being racist. and to paint all those who put the concerns of American labor and poor beneath that of foreigners WON'T gain you wide support. WAKE UP. support positions that UNITE VOTERS rather than ones that divide them! then you'll gain the legislatures needed to implement sane foreign policies domestic economic programs.

  529. good point. both legal and illegal immigrants threated jobs and economic stability. and I don't haste these these people. illegal immigration isn't bad based on any racial or ethnic bias. its you who're assuming "illegal: refers strictly to Hispanics. I never once mentioned race or nationality. the reality is immigration is a non-issue. the elite has allowed illegal immigration to become the problem it has as a catalyst that they can use to keep us divided. quit falling for the scam. we need tto UNITE if we're ever going to fix this mess the elite have made for us.

  530. its virtually impossible to commit suicide while in custody. my theory is Epstein isn't dead. he's been sprung from prison orchestrated by the likes of trump. Clinton and all the rest of Epstein's deviant elitist buddies. these elite DIDN'T want any kind of trial or testimony to become public record. with the wealth and power these corrupt elite wield Epstein's covert release wouldn't be unprecedented or beyond the realm of probability. hid first suicide attempt was a ruse. to create the belief in the possibility. and from there its simple indeed to merely switch him with a lookalike. who's gonna know and few would even care. it would actually be just as easy as killing him. only a few guards and a few select CIA operatives would need to be involved and the coroner, who never met Epstein, wouldn't know the difference. epstein is probably living it up in the south of france under an assumed name right now. REMEMBER, you heard it here first.

  532.  @jamesmedina2062  ... you seriously think the "progressives" are trying to install a "china" style society here in the u. s.? MY GOD - this isn't what we want! china is corrupt to the core, just like the u. s. trump was trying to create a china-and-russia-like society here. china and russia are the epitome of a fascist state. THE CORPORATE DREAM STATE! trump loved and admired xi. he wanted his power and to be just like him - ruler for LIFE! I'M A SOCIALIST! CHINA ISN'T anything even resembling socialism. they abuse and exploit labor and the consumer just like any capitalist, fascist state. i want my freedom! not just more slavery under a different name!
    2
  533.  @jamesmedina2062  ... the chinese are taking the lead because our rulers have allowed them too. my apologies. i thought you were saying you wanted the u. s. to become more like china. that china was a good example of socialist "success." i'm so glad you clarified that for me. (it wasn't the first time i misread a post. and it probably won't be the last.) AND, if i correctly understand your comment now, i completely agree with you. from what i can tell, what china has done is taken the worst of american MEGA-capitalism and run amok with it. do you know how china economically overtook the u. s.? they negotiated SWEET DEALS with american industrialists. they allowed giant corporate interests to enter china NOT in exchange for taxes or fees. but in exchange for TECHNOLOGY! these tech trades started back in the 80s with reagan. china had such a HUGE untapped consumer base the corporate elite jumped at the chance and made TRILLIONS in the process. meanwhile, the chinese elite took that technology and used it to increase productivity that's ovetaken the american capitalist model. the american elite still rule the world. but now they have chinese partners.

  534. i, too, have exposed this reality on my own channel. a 2 tier justice system where the rich get the privilege of buying their way out of prison. and madoff wouldn't have gone to prison if his victims had been poor. FRAUD is legal in this country, again, for the rich who commit this crime with every commercial and every scam they pull. lastly, the rich write the laws that make THEIR crimes civil offenses. the ONLY way a rich person will be prosecuted for their crimes is they victimize other rich people. this ain't nothing new. the scam has existed for over 6000 years. rich criminals are showered with praise, declared good, aggressive leaders and idolized for their cunning and ruthlessness. we've been ruled from the gutter for over 6000 years. i'd say its time for a change. what i don't understand is why don't any of you think so?

  535. since EVEN BEFORE stealing the Whitehouse trump has committed a barrage of impeachable offenses. INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO - telling over 12,000 documented lies to mislead the public, paying paid actors to pose as his support at the launch of his campaign, paying hush money to 2 women during his campaign to keep silent about HIS affairs, using Russian assistance to illegally win an election and then obstructing that investigation, ordering staff and appointees to disobey and ignore legal subpoenas, seminating doctored videos of political opponents, using irresponsible rhetoric to incitie violence against minorities, 4 U. S. congresswomen and a witness against Kavanaugh, circumventing congress, declaring false "national emergencies" to circumvent congress, misappropriation of military funds in defiance of congressional legislation, self financial gain from verbally advertising his hotels and resorts while in office and encouraging the military, his staff and foreign govts to use them as well, covering up SECRET in-person and phone discussions with foreign leaders and officials and using a top secret govt data base to do so, inciting a civil war (more than once) - and now the whole Ukrainian thing. IMPEACH TRUMP NOW - before he can do anymore harm to OUR country!

  536. trump's behavior is depravity alright. its criminal depravity. yet, ONE YEAR LATER, he still walks FREE! and who's fault is that? not only that, but 65% of the GOP would vote for that traitor again and the GOP, is somehow, expected to regain congress this year. WHAT? who on earth would vote for any GOPer after 2 failed wars, trump's daily corruption and 1-6? traitors, fascists and corporatists, that's who. we have one major u. s. political party that promotes lies, treason and seccession. we have to declare the GOP a terror, treasonous org and outlaw it! just like germany did to the nazi party after wwll! if we don't, we're not going to have a country much longer.

  537.  @corryjookit7818  .. I searched for the movie on YT but only the trailer is available. but there's plenty of other videos on YT that demonstrate the fascist take over of our country and planet. including videos on my equalism channel. since the 1980 elections and the thatcher/Reagan eras the fascist stranglehold over humanity has been tightening with every passing year. ITS TIME PEOPLE TO WAKE THE HELL UP AND STOP IT!

  538. liberals support illegal immigration. if that's not open boarders I don't know what is. they want to eliminate ICE, end deportations and make the U. S. bilingual. just face it thom, the left has been hijacked by insane "leaders" who have redefined the left through crazy immigration policies and gender neutral nonsense! gender-dysphorics are mentally ill and we should not be reinforcing their delusions and letting refine gender or determine domestic legislation. when the left comes to there senses on these 2 issues you'll se a grand migration of voters leaving conservatism coming to the left. then you'll all be basically supporting equalism. watch my video "equalism 122: This equalist Platform will get anyone elected!" at the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqCbqxLP03o - and lets fix this mess the "leadership" on the left and right have made for us.
    2
  539. +Beamers... it isn't the right i'm hearing this from - IT'S THE LEFT! you're denying that the leftist "leadership" is misrepresenting you! if you are opposed to open boarders and illegal immigration then WE'RE on the same side. you need to do what i'm doing. informing the left leadership that their position on this issue, and others, is harming them at the polls. its one of the issues that got trump as much support that he got. you want to get rid of trump? tell your leadership to reject their support for illegal immigration - reject it LOUD and clear!
    2
  540. we don't want a goddamned wall. but we do what immigration laws revised and enforced and we want boarder patrol and ICE to have the proper funding to do their jobs and we want people to stop encouraging illegals to come here AND we want a foreign policy that stops creating the need for them to come here in the first place! we, you and I, should be working together! watch one of my latest videos - . watch 2 of my latest videos to get a taste - "equalism 129: This is THE most honest political video you'll ever see!" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbSfJOkBLio&feature=youtu.be - and lets UNITE and create sane immigration and foreign policies that benefit us all!

  541. +beamer... then what's all this nonsense I hear about "Sanctuary Cities"? is it the right that's promoting this sanctuary? nope. its the left. the left leadership promotes and encourages illegal immigration.

  542. +Dov and Phillip... the elite on both the right and left have failed us. equalism is THE TRUE alternative to the left and right and its NOT a centrist position at ALL! its an actual new, unique and innovative view of the world, each other and OURSELVES. its purely anti-fascist and anti-capitalist but it defines political and economic terms correctly. capitalism, in fact, embraces and implements BOTH big business AND big govt. equalism denounces both. so, if you want to break free from repeating the mistakes of the past join the equalism movement. watch my latest videos - "equalism 145: The Politics of Victimization" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDTWIHp0Meo&feature=youtu.be - "equalism 143: Do We Really Have Socialism for the Rich?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fdw1DuYl_s&feature=youtu.be - "equalism 141: Was Hitler a Socialist?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb0ieKj0CcQ&feature=youtu.be - "equalism 140: The Police-State, Climate Change and the Science Industry" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4U7mavjr28&feature=youtu.be - "equalism 139: We Must Break The Fascist Stranglehold!" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIEuOuT-SMc&feature=youtu.be - "equalism 137: BREAK FREE, THINK FREE, ACT FREE AND BE FREE!" -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5v9b-DDIOQ&feature=youtu.be -

WE MUST SAVE OURSELVES! and the only way to do this is to REJECT the this rigged system OUTRIGHT! we must STOP participating in it. its our unwavering and blind participation in the corrupt system that gives it legitimacy and gives it power and authority over us!

  544.  @bgs03548  … trump lost the last election and the elite put him in the Whitehouse anyway. what's to stop him from stealing another election? IMPEACHMENT and REMOVAL is the only SURE way to rid our country of that gangster doofus.

  545. carbon taxes was an idea presented by the oil companies so they could just keep right in polluting and pass the cost of the tax on to the consumer. not only a HORRIBLE IDEA but a total scam! here's a better and more efficient idea. make drilling for, spilling and using gas and oil for fuel a crime and enforce the damned law. stop kowtowing to the elite and doing EVERYTHING they demand. then you globally share - without debt - all the solar, wind and other non-polluting technologies with all other nations AND REDUCE THE HUIMAN brainwashed demand for and dependence on electricity, industrialization and technology. it ain't difficult, it ain't hard - YOU JUST DO THE DAMNED THING!

  546. this technology doesn't specify, it doesn't discriminate - it tracks EVERY ONE not just criminals. it stores the information in databases for future retrieval if deemed necessary. it records audio and visuals through devises secretly installed on retail products like cell-phones, digital TVs, computers and so-called virtual assistants like apple's siri and amazon's alexa. at the rate at which this police-state technology is "improving" there's no telling what its capable of doing right now or will be capable of in the very near future. what I do know is the elite have done a GREAT job at conditioning and brainwashing us through advertising and propaganda to not only BUY our own oppression but to invite these police-state technologies into our homes and TAKEOVER our very lives and all of society!

  547. the American civil war didn't end slavery. all it did was force the south to accept the north's form of industrial slavery and abandon its agrarian form of slavery. plantation slavery was replaced by wage and debt slavery and the slavery of govt dependence. I speak of this on my equalism channel. equalism not only identifies the problems as many others do, it also offers unique and innovative solutions to these problems. check it out if you ever want to actually end the perpetual cycle of madness in which humanity presently finds itself.

  548. capitalism IS corporate oligarchism. you're confusing capitalism with free-marketism. capitalism is marketism but NOT FREE-marketism. capitalism has NOTHING to do with free markets. being that capitalism literally means "moneyism" there's nothing FREE under capitalism, not markets, not products, not education or medical care, not govt - and NOT people. everything has its price; everything is a commodity to be exploited for its profitability. ALL elitist hierarchical social systems are capitalist. their intent is to keep the elite in power. and the elite utilize BOTH BIG business and BIG govt to perpetuate this system. they use big govt to protect their wealth and enforce their will. the capitalist elite want govt out of THEIR way not put of YOUR way. capitalism is economic fascism and fascism is political capitalism. one can't exist without the other. socialism, on the other hand, is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism. one can't exist without the other. the elite on the right and left misrepresent and mis-define ALL these words. so most people don't really know what these words mean either.

  549.  @artstrology  ... considering the fact that real "mystics" don't exist, i agree with you. but they are to blame for all kinds of other things. like fraud, theft and misrepresentation. but otherwise i'm sure they're a fine group of jokers.

  550. these mass migrations are caused by the human misery caused by insane American elitist, predatory foreign policy. but these mass migrations are illegal nonetheless. these people NEED to be marching on their own capitols demanding justice for themselves, their families and each other. which, by the way, is exactly what americans NEED to be doing!

  551.  @tracesprite6078  ... i bet hassan's book is real interesting. i'm re-reading a book called - "The Anti-Federalist Papers." its a book about ALL the dissent that occurred during the constitutional convention and its path to ratification. many of the fears mentioned by the anti-federalists, patrick henry among them, WERE REALIZED during trump's reign. and BEFORE! they were concerned with factionalism and the possibility of unscrupulous men taking over congress and how to remove a corrupt politician from the presidency. these things are happening NOW!
    2
  552. its impossible for trump to be RE-elected because he was NEVER elected to begin with. he stole the 2016 election and, with biden as his so-called opponent in 2020, he may just steal yet ANOTHER election! biden will win the popular vote, just like Clinton, and trump will again be handed the oval office. wait and see. if trump ran against sanders he'd lose by too wide a margin and the scam wouldn't be as easy to pull off. that's why the dems continue to sabotage sanders. the whole process is a scam. the elite run our govt and they choose our govt officials.

  553. unfortunately, because the U. S. education system is so backward and inefficient, i must say this again, the soviets and Chinese were NEVER socialist or communist. it has NOTHING to do with the name of any goddamned political party. in the U. S. do the republicans practice or promote republicanism or the democrats democracy? socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it, actually have a definition. by definition they completely reject and denounce social hierarchies, privilege and monetary systems. so mr. smith, like so many other confused and brainwashed people, are either purposely misapplying socialism in order to demonize it or they're demonizing it through pure stupidity or gullibility. we have way too many people on the right and left who have no idea what socialism, capitalism, democracy and fascism really are. and this is what's truly scary.
    2
  554. I have a better idea. you tell me the one's who don't. every time I turn around its all about the poor suffering illegals, how they only take the jobs American don't want, how they must be given the social services intended for the American poor, how they're flooding the labor market doesn't drive down wages and how its so horrible to separate families through deportation. and so on. and I hear the same nonsense from left leaning videos and comments all over you tube. in fact, i'm often personally attacked when I criticize this leftist position. so you tell me. who are those politician's on the left denouncing illegal immigration? they sure aren't talking very loud.
    2
  555. you're the one evading the issue. you're denying that the leftist "leadership" is misrepresenting you! if you are opposed to open boarders and illegal immigration then WE'RE on the same side. you need to do what i'm doing. informing the left leadership that their position on this issue, and others, is harming them at the polls. its one of the issues that got trump as much support that he got. you want to get rid of trump? tell your leadership to reject their support for illegal immigration - reject it LOUD and clear!

  557. trump doesn't know what truth is. he's a habitual liar. he doesn't know what reality is. he's lived his whole life in the cocoon of elitist wealth and opulence. he doesn't know what empathy of integrity is. we can't forget TRUMP ISN'T PRESIDENT! he wasn't legally elected. so we all must stop calling him president or even thinking of him as such. and remind everyone who calls him that of their error.

  558. I've been hearing threats of civil war from trump supporters since before his theft of the white house. I hear it about 3 or 4 times a month from one damned nut or another. my life has been personally threatened over 10 times. these are trump cultists; and they're sick and twisted just like any cult members. their sense of reality is corrupted. they are willing to kill for their cult leader. there's at least one way to stop these maniacs. IMPEACH TRUMP NOW! because the chances are in another pseudo-election the elite will fix another election in his favor and this country CANNOT endure 4 more years of this criminal pretending to be president. but guess what? the  dems WON'T impeach him! so be prepared for a combination of disasters in the near future - increasing effects of climate change, a ever more powerful police-state and more violent civil unrest from the fascist trump cult.
    2
  559. +Bif… trump's illegal possession of the white house resulted from MANY different effects all working in conjunction to make it APPEAR legitimate. among these were - unprecedented free media air time ranging from 3 to 1 to 10 to 1 comparted to ALL of his opponents, the rigging of the dems primary so he'd face Clinton instead of sanders who had a huge lead over him in the polls, interstate cross check, voter suppression at the polls, rigged, corporate-owned and controlled electronic voting machines that leave no verification paper trail and just good old fashioned fraud in the counting process and manual destruction of paper ballots when used. trump's org and the GOP also utilized paid trolls to make him seem more popular than he really was and a shill computerized network to achieve the same goal (they still do this btw). also past gerrymandering helped him "win" the electoral college. the U.S election system is among the most corrupt and unverifiable on the planet. they don't even try to hide their corruption anymore. the elite choose the candidates and the winners.

  560.  @entendreentendre3734  … actually that's not true. its just another trump lie. first, how do you know ANYTHING about trump's financial status as long as he keeps his taxes and financial records SECRET from the public? second, Jefferson, Adams and Monroe ALL died virtually broke. mrs Lincoln died broke. and jimmy carter went into enormous debt for years just trying to recover the losses from his peanut farm while he was president. QUIT BELIEVING TRUMP'S LIES!

  561. anger isn't about feeling powerless. its about BEING powerless!!!! WE AMERICANS HAVE NO RIGHTS! the laws that protect us go unenforced and insane little pig and bureaucratic dictators in the public and private sectors abuse us at every turn. JUST DOING YOUR JOB IS NO LONGER AN EXCUSE FOR DOING THE WRONG THING! right now i'm fighting my landlord, my neighbors, the cops, the post office, my bank, the tax allocation committee, the dept of fair housing, the D.A., local business owners, medi-cal AND legal aid ALL AT THE SAME TIME! NO WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING and/or nobody wants to their jobs! or they think their jobs give them the right to ABUSE people! and there's NO WHERE for the victims of this abuse, apathy, incompetence, malfeasance, corruption and criminal behavior to turn! the reality is AMERICANS HAVE NO RIGHTS and its wayyyyy past time for a damned REVOLUTION!

  563. one strategy the fascist right has been using is to corrupt local and state level politics even more vigorously than at the federal level. our lives are more directly controlled at these local levels and people tend to pay less attention to local politics. my county officials have been bribed by many companies to install their police state technologies using our local tax dollars. one thing these local politicians are doing is converting local economics to a cashless economy. cash cards, debit cards, tap cards and identity cards for EVERYTHING are being forced on us without our consent. I can't even use my apt complex's laundry facilities because the laundry machines won't accept cash anymore! and the local politicians don't care because they're doing the same for access to public facilities! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PEOPLE! we don't want these scams but, like all politicians, the local officials follow the money, do what the elite tell them and the public wants and needs be damned!

  564. +Kirstin… if you believe trump is the legal president you're living in trump's own fantasy land. one thing the mueller report proved is that the 2016 presidential "election" was rigged. it stunk to high heaven for many more reasons than just Russian collusion. and trump won NO legal election.

  565. i've seen a UFO too. there's never been any debate that UFO's exist. the debate centers on what they are. as far as first contact with an otherworldly species goes - if you trust politicians, military brass, so-called scientists or the corporate elite to honestly represent humanity you need to pull your head out of your ass. these oligarchs don't even tell humans the truth. if these extraterrestrials had any sense they would not only avoid contact with humanities upper echelon they would align themselves with the oppressed, the human majority, and help us gain our freedom from our slave owners. the elite would either start a war with these beings or would align themselves with them AGAINST the rest of humanity.

  569. Reagan was indeed a criminal and elitist shill. the stats clearly show elitist wealth skyrocketed since his fascist policies took effect and the incomes of the comlen have remained stagnant, at best! and corporate consolidation and monopolization has run amok. the weirdest thing to me is the effect of this pro-elitist propaganda continues to have on blind and gullible people. fascists still equate concentrated wealth with "individualism" and hold on to the fallacy that hard work results in wealth and wealth is simply a sign of superiority. they deny the reality they, themselves, experience in their own lives while embracing the myths espoused by their own oppressors. that's CRAZY! maybe reagan emptied the mental institutions to increase the republican base!

  570. how do term limits strengthen lobbyists and special interests? its the corporate lobbyists who fund the re-election campaigns that keep the same politicians in office for decades! of course we need term limits. and we need remove elitist special interests from political influence. DAMN, we need an actual political system in this damned country. not just a political machine that rubber stamps corporate written legislation and grovels at the feet of the most corrupt people in the nation.
    2
  571.  @pohakumana  .. we not only need term limits but age limits. trump, Pelosi, mcconnell, biden, sanders and warren are ALL well into their 70's. so govt is the only place where a 70 year old can find gainful employment? these are all govt and corporate lifers. NO MORE lifers determining the direction of our country and running our lives. and this includes the supreme court where 12 or 15 year limits would be ideal. right now our entire social system, the public and private sectors, has been ruled by the SAME people for 50, 60 years. corporations are just a revolving door where rich people bounce around from corporation to corporation, they sit on the boards of numerous corporations and institutions simultaneously. and these SAME elite are in and out of the govt revolving door as lobbyists, advisors, policy makers and appointed offices. you wanna know why nothing changes? one reason is that the people making the decisions never change! there is no differentiation between public and private sector anymore because its the same private sector elite ruling BOTH! the U. S. govt is just another corporation; a subsidiary of the Fortune 100!

  572. … i guess i'll toot my own horn here. my equalism channel offers the most innovative and original ideas on the internet. its TRUE progressivism. and presents TRUE socialism not the big govt capitalism that the left and right often claims as socialism. equalism understands that conservatives and liberals aren't mortal enemies but have much more in common than differences. its our elitist leadership that labels us, herds us, manipulates us and divides us. equalism REJECTS the insanity coming from the elite on BOTH sides. UNITY against the elite, our common enemy, is our only REAL chance of ever fixing this mess the elite have made for us. ALL non-predators are welcome to watch and join the equalism movement.

  575. i'm afraid, thanks to the elite on the right and left, the only direction America and the world are headed is straight DOWN - to HELL! economic and climate disasters will lead to more civil unrest which is the only excuse the elite need to clamp down with their global corporate police-state. digitized money, bodily inserted micro-chips and the "smart" grid will be installed to track your every move, your every word, and eventually, your every thought. absolute human dependence on over-priced corporate technology will enslave us all. and the youth, who's been conditioned, through advertising, commercialization and fire-hosing, to EMBRACE this slavery since birth, more and more with each successive generation, will just accept and even welcome this police-state for its security, convenience and because its shiny and sparkly. climate change is being ignored for a reason. unfettered MONEY in politics and corporate control of the media has happened for a reason! fascism and neo-liberal economics are taking over the world for a reason. and the reason is ITS WHAT THE ELITE WANT! its what they need to drive the final nails into the coffin of freedom, individuality, independent thought and human rights! its time we WAKE UP and FIGHT or the future of humanity will be very grim indeed!

  576. biden got a CORRUPT ukranian prosecutor fired. I agree with you. both parties are corrupt as hell. but the GOP is the epitome of corruption. they use every underhanded trick in the book to steal elections and misrepresent themselves and their goals.
    2
  577. i would say trump's biggest lie is that he won the election and is the legitimate president of the U. S. A. winning a rigged election doesn't make you the winner. and there's plenty of evidence that election was rigged by, not only putin and Russian oligarchs, but by American oligarchs and the GOP as well. trump should've never been allowed to take office but here he is, 3 years later, still being allowed to pretend to be president. and political pundits, the American mainstream and alternative media, foreign leaders and everyday Americans ALL continue to propagate this lie by calling him "president"!
    2
  578. Ayn Rand greatly inspired the ultra-fascism of today's right, in all its incarnations. like rand, today's american fascists don't hate this country because its too fascist. they hate it because its not fascist enough. when reagan's fascism wasn't extreme enough for you, you know you're pretty damned fascists.

  579. +mike… wow, you're deep in the trump cult aren't you? but the left posses its own cult characteristics. liberals support illegal immigration. if that's not open boarders I don't know what is. they want to eliminate ICE, end deportations and make the U. S. bilingual. just face it thom, the left has been hijacked by insane "leaders" who have redefined the left through crazy immigration policies and gender neutral nonsense! gender-dysphorics are mentally ill and we should not be reinforcing their delusions and letting refine  gender or determine domestic legislation.  when the left comes to there senses on these 2 issues you'll se a grand migration of voters leaving conservatism coming to the left. then you'll all be basically supporting equalism. watch my video "equalism 122: This equalist Platform will get anyone elected!" at the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqCbqxLP03o - and lets fix this mess the "leadership" on the left and right have made for us.
    2
  580. yes, the fascists, with trump and alex jones as their new leaders, have gone false flag, fake news crazy! they see ONLY p[lots and conspiracies against them and their leaders EVERYWHERE! whenever one of their own does something unconscionable its always deflected onto the "left."  this is, also, demonstrated now in the fascists claiming hitler was a socialist and that anti-fascists, what they call antifa, are the fascists. the fascists leaders are succeeding at turning everything upside, inside-out, rewriting history, corrupting reality and making themselves VICTIMS in the eyes of the followers. this is a planned strategy by the fascists to further their agenda through fraud and misrepresentation. many on the right, not all, have lost their grasp on objective reality.
    2
  581. sure would be nice to hear from someone new every once in a while. the left and tight are completely stagnant; just regurgitating the same only ideas from the same old people who's ideas failed decades and even centuries ago. its tome for a REVOLUTION of thought and equalism is THAT REVOLUTION. its completely new and unique but all these self proclaimed "leaders" on both sides have MONOPOLIZED the conversation and actively censor new ways to see the world and resolve problems. these people ARN'T offering anything new - just same mistakes that's been repeated ad nauseum OVER AND OVER! HELP ME! tell these people you DEMAND to hear NEW IDEAS for once. FEMAND I BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK!

  582. I live in affordable housing in california and its basically a joke. (I have to admit though its better than nothing.) the problem is property values are ALL out of whack and extremely and artificially INFLATED. this is a national problem. high property values cause hyper inflation across the board and just make the rich richer. you see, the rents for affordable housing are based upon the property value of the housing involved. all it does is offer the elite even more tax breaks for providing housing below the market value the rents would otherwise be based upon. its just another scam to make BIG profits for people who don't need the money! as long the elite are allowed to set whatever market values they choose on any and every product, service and industry americans are gonna face ever increasing problems. in other words, social programs without price controls are just welfare for the rich. this is what equalism calls Econo-Dynamics. its how the elite create and both big business and big govt got their advantage.
    2
  583. maybe we should stop calling it "minimum wage" and start calling it a "livable wage' or "human-dignity wage" or a "real-value-based wage." we must remember slavery DOESN'T mean working for nothing. slaves got housing, clothes, food and even medical care provided for them. slavery means human bondage, dependence. its a development of a CLASS of people with NO RIGHTS, NO PROTECTIONS and NO RESPECT! there's wage slavery, debt slavery. there's slavery to the private sector and to the public sector. there's slavery to business and to govt. you can be a slave to govt programs as well as to an employer. you want to end slavery? stop perpetuating the LIE that socialism advocates big govt and govt programs. socialism, IS IN FACT, a social system where govt programs AREN'T needed for daily survival.
    2
  584. did you hear what the n. Carolina GOP state "legislatures" pulled yesterday? they pulled an unquestionable act of public FRAUD to override a governor veto of the GOP penned state budget. i'm not a big democrat fan but the GOP is absolutely THE most corrupt, amoral and underhanded institution in this country. they lie cheat and steal to further their agenda. there's NO level too low to which they aren't willing to stoop to get their way.

  585. the U. S. is, RIGHT NOW, a police state. yet because it immerged slowly, being sold incrementally to the young of each, next, generation, the youth accepted it, blindly, thinking it was normal and even desirable technological "progress" so many of the youth of today are so conditioned since birth they don't even recognize their slavery to the elite!. they see it as the natural order of things. I dedicate my ENTIRE channel to this complacent apathy. but I offer solutions. its called equalism. we NEED a revolution; a REVOLUTION of thought accompanied with action or, more accurately, NON-PARTICIPATION! equalism IS the solution! watch my 3 latest videos on my channel - "equalism 126: I Don't Want Your Money" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT-MmjLkoEc&feature=youtu.be - "equalism 125: Yanny or Laurel? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4cetwKXwOQ&feature=youtu.be - AND - equalism 127: Sanctuary Cities? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZwUb0__RaM&feature=youtu.be - learn how to fix this mess the elite have made for us!

  586. just a wonderful comment. while we're at it we should stake Mussolini and hitler because their fascism is taking over the world! they lost ww2 yet the disease of fascism has infected the PLANET!
    2
  587. trump is above the law as are all the elite. they break laws and contracts all the time and not only get away with it but are rewarded and praised for it. their corporate lawyers write the laws with loopholes installed that make the elite immune to the same laws that apply to the rest of us. its called elitist privilege and its how capitalism works.
    2
  588. not only do poor blacks and whites have more in common than they're told but the middle class has more in common with the entire poor that what they're told.  the problem is the modern misconception of social class. the elite has driven into our brains the lie that there are 7 social classes; 1) the elite, 2) the lower upper class, 3) the upper middle class, 4) the middle class, 5) the lower middle class, 6), the poor, 7) the destitute - THIS IS A LIE designed to separate the lower classes and to make the middle class identify with the upper classes more than with the lower classes which they, in fact, have more in common with.                this creates the delusion of inherent class superiority. but the middle class are actually just one paycheck or one crisis away from being poor; they'll NEVER be rich but they're very likely to be poor at one time or another. yet, the middle class still identifies with and wishes to emulate the elite despite the fact that they'll NEVER BE a part of the elite. rap culture, with its elitist and greed oriented message, has exacerbated this delusion. rap has done more to corrupt and mislead youth and promote elitist greed than almost anything else.               the philosophy of equalism eesolves this elite created misconception of class. THE REALITY IS there's only TWO social classes - the elite and everyone else. and equalism calls everyone else - the comlen. the acceptance of this equalist perception of reality is intended to unite ALL the classes into the single block that they, in fact, are. only when the middle class sees itself as THE LOWER CLASS can the comlen actually unite in the goal of social equality and fix this mess the elite have made for us!
    2
  589. who knows, maybe that would be a good thing. by dismantling what little social safety net we've retained over the decades maybe americans will finally WAKE UP and take action to remove this fascist elite from power. ITS LONG OVERDUE!
    2
  590. +Breaking... WRONG! the greatest period of American economic growth began during the Reagan era to the present! and ALL that growth went into the pockets and bank accounts of the elite! elitist and corporate taxes, business restrictions, labor rights and the middle class have decreased DRASTICALLY during that time meanwhile poverty, homelessness, the prison populations property values, inflation and mortality rates have ALL exploded! what fascists call economic prosperity is in realty economic disaster for the vast majority of americans. lets see. what's the figures? income for the top 10% has increased 500 times since Reagan while everyone else's income has remained stagnate. 40% of americans can't afford to pay a $500 emergency. the 10 richest Americans have more wealth than the lower 40% of all americans COMBINED! you're confusing economic booms with MASS economic SLAVERY, THEFT and FRAUD!
    2
  591. in other words, bribery, graft and corruption are now legal in this country - from the city, county, state and federal levels the elite are poisoning the political process and completely taking over country and our lives!
    2
  592. standard of living has dropped dramatically for EVERYONE except the elite. we have the highest rate of poverty, homelessness, incarceration and infant and mother mortality than any "western nation" and its on par with many 3rd world countries. and china has always been capitalist. for india and china to adopt a more commercial and materialistic economy than they had before has only increased their wage and debt slavery. it hasn't improved the standard of living; just increased pollution, corruption greed and more wealth at the expense of the lower classes. JUST LIKE THE U.S.!
    2
  593. +breaking... I disagree with your analysis. also, i'm not a leftist. i'm an equalist. I accept the fact the left is wrong on some issues but economics isn't among those issues. ALL citizens have the human right to live without the economic stresses and corruption produced by greed and materialism. people aren't better off. they're worse off as never before and its my intent to WAKE UP the people to take a stand against the fascism being promoted by BOTH sides. both sides are being led by a predatory elite who keeps us divided and fighting each other while they, the elite, sit back and reap the benefits of those divisions they, themselves, create and perpetuate. that's equalism - a philosophy I founded. the left and right have MUCH more in common than they have differences. once we realized THIS reality we can UNITE to fix this mess the elite had made for us.
    2
  594. you don't read the comments do you? you're just an elitist shill; a fascist perpetuating the myth of voodoo economics. supply side, trickle down economics is a HUGE failure. nations nor the citizens within them benefit because the rich avoid their fair taxes and get richer from govt handouts. you know it and I know it so why continue the lie? so why not actually do something different? here's an idea. let's do something that actually benefits people for once? I know, I know - you'll just complain that compassion and justice are just evils of socialism. so I don't expect a fascist like you to accept these goals. I won't waste anymore of my precious time on a predatory liar like you. so this conversation is over. rest assured equalism is against fascism in ALL its forms and i'll continue to fight fascists like you.
    2
  595. denying your fascism doesn't change the fact that you're a fascist. like I said, this conversation is over.

  596. I've been hearing threats of civil war from trump supporters since before his theft of the white house. I hear it about 3 or 4 times a month from one damned nut or another. my life has been personally threatened over 10 times. these are trump cultists; and they're sick and twisted just like any cult members. their sense of reality is corrupted. they are willing to kill for their cult leader. there's at least one way to stop these maniacs. IMPEACH TRUMP NOW! because the chances are in another pseudo-election the elite will fix another election in his favor and this country CANNOT endure 4 more years of this criminal pretending to be president. but guess what? the  dems WON'T impeach him! so be prepared for a combination of disasters in the near future - increasing effects of climate change, a ever more powerful police-state and more violent civil unrest from the fascist trump cult.
    2
  597. trump doesn't seem so funny now does he? i'm so tired of people, over the last 5 years, making jokes about that criminal. fascism ISN'T funny. its never been funny. just ask the 10-12 million domestic victims of nazi hilarity! just ask the 50 million civilians and soldiers slaughtered world wide due to that comical, international, fascist military aggression. one thing trump has proven is just how susceptible the U. S. is to a fascist takeover. thanks largely to a corrupt judicial system and ineffective congress that not only has surrendered much of its authority to the executive branch but also puts "agenda" over the rule of law, common decency, human rights, logic and SANITY. the constitution MUST BE made enforceable otherwise its just a damned useless piece of paper. and there's NOTHING funny about it!

  598. I moved to the Mojave desert 5 and a half years ago and this winter rain season we had more rain and colder temperatures on more days by far than I've ever seen in that entire time. we even had snow flurries on 4 separate occasions. the elite, in conjunction with scientists and engineers have brainwashed us to accept living out of balance with nature. for 200 years they've lied about the benefits of trading our natural balance and selling our souls and freedom in exchange for industrialization, technology, convenience, materialism, consumerism and the greedy, destructive pursuits of the almighty dollar. not only did we fall for it, WE'RE STILL FALLING FOR IT! we AREN'T supposed to be living like this! wake up, STAND UP and take an active role in ENDING this insanity.
    2
  599. this guy's just regurgitating the same old NRA dictated fascist arguments. law enforcement demonstrate more loyalty to the NRA and fascist ideology than they do to the rule of law. cops on a local, state and federal level enforce the laws as they choose anyway. and our politicians, through corporate corruption, have allowed our "law enforcement" to be taken over by a hard-core, extremist fascist element. the acceptance to fascist principles has become a litmus test to become a cop. its all a part of the required "character" profiling all cops are subjected to before even being allowed to be considered for a job as a cop.
    2
  600. this is part of what mueller and congress and the dems need to be investigating. for decades books have written and documentaries produced exposing trump's life-time of criminal activity. who were the fools who limited mueller's investigation to Russian collusion? why is this corrupt a-hole still being allowed to pretend to be president. he's signing executive orders, falsely declaring emergencies and appointing corrupt judges all over the place! the dems are obviously just as culpable as the GOP!
    2
  601. that's an extremely well thought out and sensible comment. do you think its odd that those who want to "make America great AGAIN" are the one's most proud of being americans? that's because they've always known they've been getting their way for the last 40 years. the elite have gotten richer, authoritarianism has taken over the country, the military budget is at an all time high, the elections are rigged, the jails are full of poor people, reproductive rights are withering away, women are still 3rd class citizens, gun violence is rampant, corporate profits are skyrocketing and GOP gerrymandering is putting the GOP minority in political power all over the country. the fascists are already in control, that's why their so proud of THEIR country.

  602.  @cindylloyd2365  … the way I see it... there's nationalism and there's patriotism. nationalism is specific to any given country. patriotism means the same thing regardless of what country your from. patriots respect other countries, value peace and international cooperation in enforcing global human rights and denounce war and even the aggression of their own countries. lastly, a patriot is willing to sacrifice to advocate honesty, compassion and to achieve world peace, not through human suppression, but through human freedom. so, i'd say you are a patriot indeed.

  606. thanks to all the fire-hosing we've been bombarded with since after ww2, with the fascist takeover of our govt after defeating foreign fascism in the war, the definitions of political words have become completely corrupted. the word "liberal" means change (untried, progressive change) and traditionally, speaking, encompasses the ENTIRE left of the political spectrum. the word "conservative" means accepting the status quo and encompasses not only the middle of the political spectrum but also its right which includes the "reactionaries" who, being dissatisfied with the status quo, want regressive change (they want to turn the clock back). capitalism was determined to be a liberal philosophy because it offered a transition, a change from feudalism. but in reality it resulted in being just another form of elitist rule. democracy, being an alternative to elitist, aristocratic rule, IS a liberal philosophy. but people realized capitalism corrupts democratic intent. so socialism quickly developed as a TRUE liberal, leftist, progressive response to capitalism. socialism is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism. the one can't exist without the other. capitalism, being just as elitist and corrupt as feudalism became the status quo and spread throughout the world as it was pushed by the world's elite but retained the moniker of CLASSICAL-liberalism. socialism is the true liberalism as it represents REAL progressive, social change. today, the word classical-liberalism has been replaced by NEO-liberalism. these are people who, largely embrace some social changes, an end to racism, women's rights and labor protections, but also embrace the continuation of elitist rule through a capitalist economic system. in short, a neo-liberal is a conservative on economic issues and rejects socialism, while maintaining liberal desires for at least some level of govt protections for individual rights from elitist corruption.

  607. puton and trump are both as corrupt as hell. putin is ex-KGB, stole power after drunken, moron Yeltzen left the scene and putin and his corrupt buddies have been in power for over 20 years! he's as corrupt as they come which why he and trump get along so well.

  608. the student loan program is a total scam. over the last 10 years, through a criminal process called "treasury offset," I've had over 10 GRAND stolen from my disability for a $3500 student loan debt I don't owe. AND IT HASN'T STOPPED! every tear the money stolen from me to pay this fraud is reset through interest. meaning i'm in PERPETUAL. LIFE-LONG debt! I notified republicans AND DEMOCRATS in washington on MANU occasions and NEITHER give a shit! I produced a video about it on my equalism channel and NO ONE will watch or give a shit! I've taken action but I CAN'T STOP this damned corruption on mu own! americans are idiots. its THEIR fault scams like this CONTINUE! the problem is the "leadership" on the left AND right! and this includes the misguided, do-nothing co-called progressives who care more about illegal immigrants and normalizing the insanity of gender-dysphorics than they care about ACTUAL JUSTICE!

  609.  @PikachooUpYou  … YES, and now the elite are buying up our fresh water supplies and beginning to sell them at premium prices. with plenty of added, corporate made chemicals no doubt. the elite are being given free rein to BUY EVERYTHING and sell it back to us at enormous profits. this planet BELONGS TO US ALL and if we don't start demanding our right to free and equal access to the natural resources of OUR planet the future of humanity will be very grim indeed!

  610. stalin and mao were both fascists, or became fascists after attaining power, but called themselves socialists for propaganda purposes. Franco, Thatcher, Reagan were all fascists. fascists regimes have arisen all over the world including Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, Batista's Cuba, and most recently in Brazil and Poland and in various forms and degrees, more or less every nation on earth has been and is currently fascist.
    2
  611. trump didn't turn the U.S. fascist, but he's made it MORE fascist than its been in some time. trump is pushing this extreme fascism onto Venezuela. Guido is a HUGE fascist. the world is in fact RULED by fascism. the POLICE STATE IS REAL AND ITS HERE! if we don't stand up to it NOW, like climate change, in 10 or 15 years it'll be too LATE!
    2
  612. the only thing trump deserves credit for is screwing the American lower classes, enriching the upper classes, making the U.S. a global joke and illegally occupying the white house. oh ya; and molesting women, cheating on his wife and taxes, his mob ties, lies about his own finances and business "successes," the illegal use of the courts for retribution against his perceived enemies and just a lifetime of fraud, misrepresentation and megalomania.

  613. slavery never ended. it was just redefined so we would no longer use the word to describe our reality. we now use the word "employment" to refer to our slavery. there's wage slavery, debt slavery, prison slavery and there's slavery to poverty. there's sex slavery, child slavery, spousal slavery and slavery of immigrants. there's slavery to greed, power and corruption. there's slavery all over the goddamned place. the redefinition and misuse of words is a common ploy among fascists. they've denounced the word "slavery" but still embrace its principles and practices under different names. just like many fascists now denounce the WORD fascism but still promote and support its practice and principles. for the last 25 years the fascists have used the internet to firehose the lie that hitler's Nazi's and Mussolini's fascists were socialists! FASCISTS LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING! they hide the truth behind their true intentions. they purposely hide their true goals because they know if they were to admit to them, the VAST majority of humanity would be appalled and reject them outright. trump IS the perfect example of this perpetual dishonesty. and his cult have followed the lead of their insane leader. and trump's GOP sycophants have been lying for decades and decades now. so, was it any wonder they so eagerly embraced trump! THE LYING KING!

  614. maybe we should stop calling it "minimum wage" and start calling it a "livable wage' or "human-dignity wage" or a "real-value-based wage." we must remember slavery DOESN'T mean working for nothing. slaves got housing, clothes, food and even medical care provided for them. slavery means human bondage, dependence. its a development of a CLASS of people with NO RIGHTS, NO PROTECTIONS and NO RESPECT! there's wage slavery, debt slavery. there's slavery to the private sector and to the public sector. there's slavery to business and to govt. you can be a slave to govt programs as well as to an private employer. you want to end slavery? stop perpetuating the LIE that socialism advocates big govt and govt programs. socialism, IS IN FACT, a social system where govt programs AREN'T needed for daily survival.

  615.  @mjohnson1741  ... good point. but we have a populace that can't even recognize when democracy, or freedom, doesn't exist at all. people all over this country still believe the U.S. is a democracy. and people all over the world think they're free when in reality they're dependent upon a system that enslaves them. humanity has "voluntarily" exchanged their freedom for convenience and dependence. and this includes technology as well as elitist authority. we need to WAKE people UP to this reality. especially the millennials who embrace every new fangled, shiny gadget and app that the corporations throw their way. these millennials don't know their being manipulated to BUY their on slavery to the police-state.

  620. why do billionaires fund violent, anti-social, pro-capitalist, fascist hate-groups? the answer is simple; it's called sociopathy and psychopathy. they're mentally ill. do you think they became rich through generosity, kindness and compassion? no, they got rich from apathy, greed and cruelty. there's NO other way to accumulate wealth on those scales. its called capitalism. it REWARDS destructive, anti-social, anti-human, inhuman behavior.

  621.  @amyjones2490  … I agree. old Ike was the last breath of uncorrupted air from the GOP. some, in both the GOP and dems, use the term asymmetrical to describe the dichotomy of the 2 parties. the reality is both parties are corrupt, with protecting corrupt corporate interests and putting party before ethics. but their corruption is asymmetrical in their election tactics. the dems seem to at least follow the laws, as corrupt as the laws may be, to win elections and honestly presenting their policies while the GOP will resort to any deception, any lie or any underhanded trick to win elections. they misrepresent their true motives, their true goals, they fire-hose issues and rig election results. even the GOP hierarchy have admitted to this deception. they publish papers on implementing these tactics. they seem to think that ANY behavior is acceptable for political purposes. you know who else felt that way? the German Nazi's and Italian fascists. they believed that winning by any means necessary demonstrated cunning and superiority and the right to rule. the GOP are, indeed, modern day fascists in all but name.

S. and our numbers have been steadily rising since the Reagan era and because of Reagan's implementation of neo-liberal economics. but the media refuse to report on it and the govt redefines economic terms to hide the true numbers. right now, nearly HALF of ALL americans qualify for some type of govt aid. they may not apply for it or receive it but they qualify for it. and this is happening as the people needing these funds receive less aid per person, funds for govt programs decrease or are privatized, the qualifications for aid become more strict and the govt definitions of poverty and homelessness have become more corrupted to hide the true numbers. hyper inflation lead by skyrocketing property values coupled with the increase in poverty level wages are the main culprits. the RICH are absconding with the ENTIRE American economy that WE ALL contribute to. both democrats and republicans have contributed to this crisis. both parties continue to cave to BIG MONEY INTERESTS and allow the elite to write the laws. you want to end this downward spiral? be prepared to REVOLT and dedicate your lives to the cause. because it ain't gonna stop otherwise. watch my equalism channel to learn more!

  627. people misunderstand what a pardon is and I guess its been used incorrectly on several occasions. but a pardon is supposed to be applied AFTER a conviction. you're not supposed to be able to PRE-pardon someone and exempt them from criminal investigation or prosecution. you can't say - hey, you've never been convicted of any crime but i'm going to pardon you anyway. pardon them from WHAT? that's not the intention of pardons. this is just YET ANOTHER example of how laws are misapplied and misused and no one does anything to correct it or stop it!

  628. @Els Sinderdinck … what's going on now is EXTREMELY dangerous . there's something very wrong here. here's the problem. trump's turned the attorney general into his own personal henchman and has launched his own investigation without the authority to do so. trump's doing whatever the hell he wants do and not only is no one stopping him the GOP is empowering him and the dems are ignoring this insanity. all involved act like they're afraid of this twit. like putin handed trump some dirt on all of them and he's blackmailing them into submission. nothing else explains this absolutely unwarranted behavior, irrational loyalty and fear on both sides of the aisle.

  629. trump believes becoming "president" makes him king and above the law. he now thinks he has privilege and immunity from the crimes he's committed. he believes he has authority over congress, the constitution and all govt agencies and branches. he believes the govt is there to SERVE HIM and fulfill his commands. trump's insane, paranoid, megalomaniacal despotism is growing worse with each passing day. he's making one unilateral decision after another. he thinks and he's behaving like Mussolini. which is something that very obvious he was going to do as he acted just like mussolini throughout his so-called campaign. hell, throughout his life. now he's demanding investigative retribution against his political opponents. barr isn't acting as AG but as trump's personal attack dog and enforcer. the trump fascists have taken OVER OUR GOVERNMENT and we damned well better stop them.

  630. that's not the only way reagan stole that so-called election. he also illegally received copies of carter's debate points and strategies. then he had his speech writers come up responses. of course many americans were stupid enough to believe reagan was displaying some kind of quick wit when all along it was professionally prepared retorts based upon a STOLEN information. this means Reagan, like trump, WASN'T the legal president! you can only become president through legal means. if you commit crimes to occupy the white house that's called a coup d'état and you're NOT president! reagan was indeed an underhanded sleaze ball and the GOP has only gotten so much worse since then! the U.S., and even the democratic party have gone to complete crap since reagan.

  631. right now there's a program can alter video IN REAL TIME! it alters reality as its being recorded. there's programs that can alter video images and audio to make ANYONE appear to do and say things they never did and never said. our sense of reality is being completely corrupted. we have NO idea what's real anymore, what to trust. and the elite want us this way. the cashless economy, cell-phone tracking and surveillance technology imbedded into our retail devices are ALREADY violating human rights on a daily basis. its inaccuracy is irrelevant. the danger isn't that its prone to malfunction. its danger is that it'll function as intended. ALL police-state technology is a danger to humanity and a threat to human rights - that's its INTENDED function.

  632. @For Paws … there's nothing "communist" about china. its capitalist chine. and the U.S., individual states, local municipalities and private corporations are using facial recognition right now too.
    2
  633. this is the result of digitization - a cashless economy. when a bank wants to make a lone the fed simply uses their computer and gives them non-existent, digitized "money." the banks, the lenders, risk nothing but get to pocket all the REAL money from the interest payments. if there's a default the lender simply SELLS the defaulted loan to third party collectors. the lender makes money no matter what.

  634.  @Guitarpima  … the stock market is one big scam. not only is it a means of making unearned money for the elite but stock values are determined ONLY by the amount of stocks sold. nothing else. the stocks value increases as the more shares are sold. this is why stock buy backs are so profitable. its just a huge pyramid scheme. equalism realizes EVERY business has 3 built-in investors; the employees, the consumers and the community. these are the groups of people who have the biggest stake in making a business successful. when outside investors are brought in, often being located 100's or 1000;s of miles away from the community in which that business resides, then the local community loses its right to control its own economy. and that's just a plain and simple CRIME!

  635. I WON'T BE GETTING ANY CHECKS! I have NEVER received ANY stimulus check issued by anyone. through a thing called treasury offset, over the last 12 years, the feds have stolen OVER 12 grand from my disability to pay off a $3500 student loan I DON'T OWE! and its perpetual - ITS A LIFETIME DEBT! the treasury dept withheld EVERY stimulus check from me. over the years I've notified 100's of politicians and the mainstream and alt media outlets AND left 100's of youtube comments AND NO ONE CARES!
    2
  636. good point thom. but why don't the candidates like sanders and warren, themselves, bring up this distinction? warren did an excellent job in her last debate when she said something to the effect - "I don't know why anyone would run president to keep things as they are and trash every idea that suggests change." which is precisely the PLATFORM the corporate dems like biden are doing now, they trash national health care, tax payer funded college and a livable wages. MOST of these dems are denouncing the types of economic changes we so desperately NEED! they're basically running on a GOP platform and that's what sanders and warren need to emphasize!

  637. the American civil war didn't end slavery. all it did was force the south to accept the north's form of industrial slavery and abandon its agrarian form of slavery. plantation slavery was replaced by wage and debt slavery and the slavery of govt dependence. I speak of this on my equalism channel. equalism not only identifies the problems as many others do, it also offers unique and innovative solutions to these problems. check it out if you ever want to actually end the perpetual cycle of madness in which humanity presently finds itself.
    2
  638. what you have from this fascist view of the relationship between govt and business ISN"T that the govt shouldn't be involved in business but that a big govt MUST be used to enforce business domination of society. in other words; its not big govt fascists are opposed to but its how that govt is used that's important. and fascists believe the govt should be used to benefit the elite; to the elite's advantage and domination of society.
    2
  639. all I know is I've voted for decades and only see things getting worse. maybe we should count the no votes as votes. and whenever there's more no voters than voters the election is nullified until 51% of the population finds a politician worthy of their vote.
    2
  640. yep, we seem to be the only "western" govt with no means of removing anyone from office for any reason. unless, by some miracle, they're unseated through the election process and we all know how corrupt the American election process is. once your "elected" you have a govt position practically for life if you want it.
    2
  641. trump not only falsified their documents but stiffed them out of their pay. and it was a pay LESS than what he would've had to pay American workers. but the trump cult just calls this "brilliant" business practice.

  642. instead of questioning why girls are being under diagnosed with adhd the question is why are boys being OVER diagnosed with it? screw the pharmacy companies. STOP MEDICATING OUR DAMNED KIDS! - and our adults for that mater! we've let the elite sell us the scam that pills are THE answer to all our problems. we gotta pill popping epidemic! pills WON'T solve your damned problems but JUSTICE will! throw your mind numbing, mind control pills in the trash AND FIGHT FOR JUSTICE INSTEAD!
    2
  643.  @quedizzle7378  ... yep, its called projection; accusing others of what you're guilty of. trump does this ALOT! the entire Ukraine scandal is based upon his fantasy that Ukraine interfered to help Clinton, who won the majorty vote, rather the accepting the reality that American and Russian oligarchs rigged the election to help him win the electoral college. trump actually knows the truth. one reason trump lies so much isn't to convince others of falsehoods but to convince himself. I've NEVER heard anyone refer to themselves as "president" as much as trump has. he's still trying to convince himself he's the REAL president when he knows damned good and well he isn't.
    2
  644.  @quedizzle7378  ... TRUMP IS BRIBING the GOP AND COMMITTING JURY TAMPERING AS WE SPEAK! for over the last month - since the impeachment inquiry began - trump and Mulvaney and other trump cabinet members and staff have INITIATED a campaign of influence through GOP-only trips to camp david, lavish whitehouse dinners and invitations to VIP sporting events ALL on the taxpayer dime with the intent of ingratiating GOP congressional members to trump, making them beholden to trump, maintaining their loyalty and influencing them to vote AGAINST impeachment and removal! THIS IS PURE BRIBERY AND JURY TAMPERING! MY GOD!!!!!! HE'S USING OUR TAX DOLLARS TO BUY OFF HIS JURY! THIS IS JUST MORE IMPEACHABLE BEHAVIOR by this low-life who stole OUR Whitehouse! there's ABSOLUTELY no crime trump is unwilling to commit to further his SELF INTERESTS!

  645. we can't forget lying under oath is perjury is a criminal offense. but politician refrain from bringing up the "lying" issue because they all do it. they do it to get elected and they do it to stay in office. so their thinking is of political survival; quid pro quo. if I use the issue of lying and perjury against someone what's to stop a political opponent or the opposing party from using it against me? its an unspoken agreement between the 2 major parties to simply overlook and ignore any issue of deceit or perjury committed by any opponent from the other major political party.
    2
  646. so many anericans, INCLUDING THE LEFT, equate wealth with freedom. they claim wealth can BUY freedom. that while the rest of us are slaves to the elite, the elite themselves ARE FREE! THIS IS A LIE! that comes from the left as well as the right. the reality is wealth doesn't buy freedom - it buys PRIVILEGE! there's a huge difference between the two. here's capitalism 101: capitalism produces slavery across class lines. the non-elite, the comlen, are enslaved by those who have money. the elite are enslaved by the money ITSELF! rich people will choose slavery to money and the class privilege it allows over slavery to other people ANYDAY! this is the perspective of the philosophy of equalism. i talked about this on my equalism channel MONTHS AGO! maybe if some of you watched some of you might actually learn something new.
    2
  647. there's the problem. you have only 2 major political parties in the u. s. and one of them, the GOP, has no respect for the law, commonly violate the law for political advantage and then refuse to enforce the laws they violate. this is what the DOJ is for. to PROSECUTE political corruption. even at the state and local levels. there's nothing stopping the dems from putting trump, desantis and 100's of other high ranking GOPers in prison right now. why the hell aren't they doing it? if the GOP refuses to enforce the law against themselves and the dems refuse to enforce the law against the GOP, then we have a LAWLESS society. i've only been saying this for OVER 40 years! so, you have to ask, why have i been censored by the right and left for the last 40 years?

  648. you kidding? 100% of our tax dollars go to the rich. on occasion some among the lower classes may recieve a benefit too, but the elite ALWAYS profit from every govt program. daca forces us to pay insurance companies for medical care when those same companies drive up medical costs. we're forced to pay the price increases created by the inflation the rich cause. food stamps and medicare are simply subsidies for the rich. the govt merely pays the extrortion demanded by the ruling elite on behalf of those who can't afford to pay the extortion. our tax dollars go towards allowing the elite to pay lowr taxes than us. or they pay no taxes at all and they often get REFUNDS on taxes THEY DON'T PAY! the elite get tax payer money for subsidies, contracts and bailouts although their reckless policies and greed caused the problems in the first place. people continue to suffer at the hands of the ruling elite and those victims are CONSTANTLY required to make their abusers richer. its called capitalism. we're a nation of fools ruled by gangsters.

  649. there's never been any debate that UFO's exist. the debate centers on what they are. as far as first contact with an otherworldly species goes - if you trust politicians, military brass, so-called scientists or the corporate elite to honestly represent humanity you need to pull your head out of your ass. these oligarchs don't even tell humans the truth. if these extraterrestrials had any sense they would not only avoid contact with humanities upper echelon they would align themselves with the oppressed, the human majority, and help us gain our freedom from our slave owners. the elite would either start a war with these beings or would align themselves with them AGAINST the rest of humanity.

  650. there's nothing wrong with the 13 star flag. but our flag shouldn't be for sale and used for profiteering enterprises. but only in the U. S. is a damned stupid piece of cloth more important than what that piece of cloth is supposed to represent. screw the flag, the screw the fascist states of America, screw the corporate, elitist states of America and SCREW TRUMP! who, his entire life, has represented the anthesis of what MY country is supposed to stand for. screw the spineless democratic party, screw the fascist GOP, screw the elitist gay lobby that, with its BS "trans-gender fascism," has done as much to divide this country as the NRA and the evangelicals. screw the anti-abortion bigots, the pro-poverty morons, the profit-over-people twits and the ant-labor idiots and the millionaire labor leaders. screw the big business AND the big govt advocates and those on both sides who sit back and do NOTHING as the police-state tightens its strangle-hold on humanity. and screw the climate-change deniers as environmental disaster looms ever nearer. is there really anything to proud of in this country anymore! I WANT SANITY TO RETURN and I WANT MY FREEDOM!

  651.  B. Greene  … both democrats and GOP have moved farther to the right sense the Reagan era. they've both embraced American foreign aggression and regime change, neo-liberal economics, a more authoritarian govt and corporate state and it was Clinton who revoked the glass-steagall act which lead to the most recent economic catastrophe and no, not even Obama attempted to reinstate it. the oligarchs have been allowed to take complete over this country. but even Reagan's insanity pales compared to trump's insanity. trump's making more unilateral decisions than ever. he ignores and circumvents congress and the courts. when they say no he merely signs an executive order or declares a national emergency or shuts down the govt and then does it anyway. he misappropriates military and public funds and uses them as he pleases even to fund a 4th of july reelection speech. he's been caught telling over 10,000 lies since occupying the white house, distributes doctored videos of his political opponents and doesn't hesitate to publicly belittle, chastise and insult everyone who opposes him. he accepted foreign interference to get "elected," obstructed that investigation and states he's willing to do it AGAIN! he claims "executive privilege" and immunity to obstruct investigations even further. he refuses to release his tax returns and defies subpoenas at will. he EMBRACES foreign dictators and praises them. he's been a fraud, cheat and sexual predator HIS WHOLE LIFE and gotten away with it. trump ISN'T merely the next step but the final nail in the coffin leading to the complete obliteration of our republic.

  652. maybe you can explain that to me because it makes no sense to me.
    2
  653. ... if they refuse, it just proves their evil, dastardly communists trying to destroy the country. it'll be challenged by the ACLU, and probably others. it will, eventually, be deemed unconstitutional. the GOP knew it wouldn't be upheld in court BEFORE they ever voted on it. they didn't care. they wanted the media coverage. it was a political stunt to make a point and to inform their fascists followers they're doing all they can to promote fascism in their state. in other words, it was an political ploy on which to run their florida campaigns next election. and people say this dangerous clown fascist Ron DeSantis is trump's successor. i'd say, yep, that sounds about right. yes, DeSantis is every bit as fascist and crazy as trump is.
    2
  654. equalism says - the elite don't oppress us, we oppress each other and call it employment. the elite hire us to screw each other for the elite's benefit. the most rebellion most of us do is give our hard earned money to some rich person or elitist org and expect them to change the world for us. no political or business savior is going to swoop down and save us! the secret to a BETTER WORLD is in us! WE MUST DO IT! and we do it through our UNITY, our non-compliance and our non-participation. WE CHANGE THE WORLD by changing ourselves!

  656. Mussolini didn't found fascism. he merely gave it a name. fascism is what's ruled humanity over the last 6000 years. fascism is ANY society with an elitist hierarchy. ALL oligarchies, plutocracies and authoritarian and police states are fascist by definition. we have those on the left who don't know what socialism is. we have those on the right who don't know what fascism is. we have those on both sides who don't know what either is. and the uneducated are extremely susceptible to lies and deceit. over the last 20 years the fascists have fire-hosed lies about hitler and fascism being synonymous with socialism. I, now, hear this absurdity about 5 times a day on youtube alone. the fascists are fire-hosing a RE--branding of themselves. by denouncing the word "fascism" and labeling their opposition with the word, they hide they're true intent and principles. they denounce the WORD "fascism" while maintaining its principles and promoting its goals. the fascists are misrepresenting themselves EN MASS and people are falling for it! lying to gain political advantage and power is what fascists do best! THIS IS SERIOUS PEOPLE! fascists are rewriting history and altering reality. they are completely amoral, opportunistic and lacking in ethics and integrity. they believe in seizing power through ANY MEANS! - dirty tricks, underhanded tactics, fraud and force. AND ITS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!

  657. meanwhile... elitist owned corporations are buying politicians and govt influence the world over so their irresponsible industrial actions can continue and even intensify all in the name of more and ever increasing profits to benefit the elite. good for them.
    2
  658. that's so true. there's so much fire-hosing going on we can't distinguish fact from fiction, reality from fantasy. we can't even agree on the definitions of words anymore or on historical facts. the MSM news has got us so confused and so flabbergasted we don't know what to believe anymore. and that's precisely how the elite want us.
    2
  659. yep, trump's a hero! he even passed NAFTA for the benefit of himself and his elitist buddies. what a guy!

  660. i'm american. please keep trump away from the U. S.! just keep trump - period.

  661. +Inn... that's exactly why its so imperative that we UNITE against this police-state monster. there's safety in numbers.
    2
  662. this is actually illegal. it was criminal fraud making the vote invalid. the n. carolina dems need to call this what it is and act accordingly. the governor needs to declare the vote unconstitutional, issue arrest warrants and prosecute the GOP members who perpetrated this crime. its not difficult. ENFORCE THE DAMNED LAW! its called violation of "good faith," breach of promise, misrepresentation and FRAUD! politicians and political organizations are the ONLY profession allowed to commit blatant and obvious lie after lie, fraud after fraud and get away with it. I think its damned time to put an end to this accepted practice and double standard.
    2
  663. we DON'T need hate-crime or anti-lynching laws! we have TOO MANY laws as it is and the ones that protect our rights routinely go unenforced! what we need is the MANDATORY enforcement of the laws that protect us from murder, hate and assault and battery! we need to arrest, prosecute and imprison the cops and D. A.'s that break these laws or refuse to enforce them.
    2
  664. not only health care and education but LEGAL SERVICES; legal representation, court access and law enforcement should be PUBLICALLY, SOCIALLY and TAX PAYER FUNDED! justice ISN'T a private commodity but a social obligation. and justice can't be served when its denied people due to exorbitant fees and financial restrictions. the Magna Carta which was written by a bunch of elitist OVER 800 years ago, in 1215, says, in Clause 40: ‘To no one shall we sell, delay or deny right or justice’. but in America, as in the rest of the world, lack of money is the most common excuse for lack of justice, court access and legal representation. in fact if the poor had equal access to the law, courts and legal representation equal access to health care and college would soon follow and poverty itself would in fact DISAPPEAR because the existence poverty is IMMORAL, UNETHICAL, a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS and thus ILLEGAL!

  666. isn't that odd? back when this video was posted the dems all favored national healthcare. NOW,, as of august 2019, however, during the last 4, recent, democratic debates ALL but 2 candidates denounce national healthcare as undoable, too expensive, too radical and "socialist." all but sanders and warren have adopted the GOP anti-healthcare hysteria and have been bought and corrupted by the private insurance industry. what a difference a few months make uh?

  667. i would say trump's biggest lie is that he won the election and is the legitimate president of the U. S. A. winning a rigged election doesn't make you the winner. and there's plenty of evidence that election was rigged by, not only putin and Russian oligarchs, but by American oligarchs and the GOP as well. trump should've never been allowed to take office but here he is, 3 years later, still being allowed to pretend to be president. and political pundits, the American mainstream and alternative media, foreign leaders and everyday Americans ALL continue to propagate this lie by calling him "president"!

  668.  Frederic Bastiat  … wow, even the 1930's fascist, far right, German Nazis weren't as evil as 2019, fascist, far right, American republicans. even the republicans support welfare - elitist and CORPORATE welfare! and by the way, the Nazi's didn't apply their social programs to jews, racial minorities, liberals, leftists, socialists or communists who were all in prison or in concentration camps. if I were you i'd rethink this argument.

  669.  @ADEehrh  … yep, the self proclaimed "Christian" right is limitless in their hypocrisy and hate. they supported not only waterboarding but all types of torture. they were particularly fond of torture that left no physical evidence or bodily scarring. they have no qualms with starving American children or being lenient to towards rich rapists. they balk at helping the poor, the elderly and disabled but never hesitate to offer the elite and corporations all the welfare they demand. they despise a living wage for American labor but revel at increasing the accumulated wealth of millionaires and billionaires. these "Christians" are such a delightful bunch.

  670. q-anon is a fascist movement intent upon installing a fascist regime in the u. s. trump just happened to the most convenient fasciast at hand to represent this goal. a similar cult rose around reagan. but reagan didn't have his fascist nuts using the internet to spread all those lies about him. so, q-anon knows trump ain't nothing special. he just happened to be there. also trump's history of fraud, corruption and megalomania made him the PERFECT beneficiary of q-anon's nonsensical heroic myth. just like the q-anon nuts who aren't smart enough to know their beliefs are based upon q-anon lies, today's fascists reject the word "fascist" while embracing all its principles and tactics. many of today's fascists don't even know they're fascist. they REFUSE to admit to it and accuse their accusers of being fascist. projection, deflection, gas-lighting, astro-turfing, firehosing, intimidation and violence are ALL classic fascist tactics used by neo-fascists and q-anon nuts alike.
    1
  671. you're right. the American people haven't been represented in the govt for at least 40 years. Reagan helped make that a sad reality. but representative govt is a republic not a democracy. there's a difference. democracy has nothing to do with mob, or majority rule or voting. it has to do with the protection and enforcement of equal rights, of human rights and human dignity. as long as this is the intent and practice of society then you have democracy. you can have voting in a capitalist, fascist state. it doesn't make it a democracy. voting for your next oppressor isn't democracy. democracy is political and social equality. socialism is economic equality. you can't have democracy without socialism and vice versa. this is the reality. otherwise, you're exactly right. money in politics and elitist rule and privilege are ANTI-democratic!

  672. and there remains NO mention of trump revoking the net neutrality laws? since its end the internet AND YOUTUBE has bombarded us with MASS pro-corporate and capitalist lies and propaganda through MASS commercialization and business fraud. "independent" get-rich hucksters, stock-market investment frauds, con-artists, profiteers, thieves and liars have TAKEN over every web-site imaginable. news, entertainment, retail and even PORN websites are now inundated with crass and dishonest commercialism! every few months or weeks youtube increases the number of commercials. their frequency and LENGTH! THIS IS INSANE AND UNDERHANDED! WE HAVE NO CHOICE ANYMORE! the internet has become a haven for thieves and predators. its now FAR worse than even CABLE ever was! and no one is even mentioning this EXCEPT ME!

  673. excellent point. the rationalization is - Russian coordination is foreign coordination and corporate coordination is domestic interference. but the constitution is supposed to protect us from both foreign and domestic corruption. but if we were actually protected from domestic corruption we'd have something resembling a democracy in the U.S. and democracy scares the hell out of our elitist slave masters.

  674.  @carolmckee8456  … why do you say "strangely enough"? you might say "ironically enough." and the irony comes from so many conservatives and liberals misrepresenting socialism as authoritarian; as something evil. when the opposite is true. the reality is TRUE socialism is economic democracy and democracy political socialism. one can't exist without the other. the reason the elite demonize socialism is because they want us to fear what will free us from them. do you agree?
    1
  675.  @carolmckee8456  i agree. the whole idea behind voting is to vote for who best represents you not on who you think can win. our entire electoral process has been reduced to choosing who we perceive to be the lesser of 2 evils. in other words we vote AGAINST people not for them. that's not how its supposed to work. in the 2016 prez election there was an exit poll stat that indicated 60%, or so, of voters who voted for trump or Clinton didn't want to vote for either. I call that election fraud! you NEVER vote for someone you don't want elected. I think a "none-of-the-above" option should be placed on every ballot. if this option gains more votes than the candidate receiving the most votes then a NEW election is held with different candidates. this would increase voter turnout and allow 3rd party candidates and independents to get their feet in the door and break this damned 2 party monopoly that corrupts America's political process.

  676. carbon taxes was an idea presented by the oil companies so they could just keep right in polluting and pass the cost of the tax on to the consumer. not only a HORRIBLE IDEA but a total scam! here's a better and more efficient idea. make drilling for, spilling and using gas and oil for fuel a crime and enforce the damned law. stop kowtowing to the elite and doing EVERYTHING they demand. then you globally share - without debt - all the solar, wind and other non-polluting technologies with all other nations AND REDUCE THE HUIMAN brainwashed demand for and dependence on electricity, industrialization and technology. it ain't difficult, it ain't hard - YOU JUST DO THE DAMNED THING!

  677. @François Miville ... i'm glad you're not putin. the problem there is those actions would set off WWIII and that would destroy putin's Russia and most of the world in the process. people like putin, trump and xi and their elitist buddies are interested in controlling the world not destroying it; at least in the classic sense of the word. they want to destroy the environment and human freedom and this will allow them to control the whole shebang IN TANDEM!

  678.  @davidlafleche1142  … I agree, sanctuary cities ARE illegal. but trump causes more havoc and chaos in a single 100 tweet day than the dems have done in the entire 3 years of trump's insanity from the Whitehouse. and don't accuse me of lying. i'm the one exposing the truth here. remember - bearing false witness will land you in hell. and trump tells a multitude of lies EVERY SINGLE DAY! he's been lying constantly for the last 35 years! his whole life has been dedicated to fraud, theft and predation.

  679.  @davidlafleche1142  ...trump has done nothing but commit crimes over the last 5 years. all told he's been on a 35 year crime spree and its damned time somebody put a stop it. and being trump's major enablers over the last 3 years we'll see if the GOP has the fortitude and integrity to put country first and finally end trump's reign of insanity!

  680. you're invited to watch my youtube channel. its entirely dedicated to the philosophy i founded called "equalism." its quite unique. it identifies fascism as ANY act of predation or domination. fascism is as much a character trait as it is a political ideology. and equalism is a rejection of the fascism that now permeates both the right and left. its intent is to UNITE the non-fascists on both sides against their common enemy; the elite who divide us and enslave us all. check it out if you wish, start with "equalism 101." its an adequate overview of equalism.

  681.  @maxnullifidian  … I think the blackmail goes the other way. putin gave trump dirt to use against the GOP leadership to blackmail them into submission. there's nothing else to explain their irrational and continued support for and compliance to trump's every absurd whim.

  684.  @peggydale4638  ... there's that great quote from orwell's "animal farm:" "everyone is equal but some are more equal than others." its a perfect description of capitalism under the guise of "democracy." wealth gives you more power and more rights than everyone else, even more so than everyone else COMBINED! which is anti-democratic! yet the courts, under capitalist, elitist, corporate control, side with the power of bribery to corrupt democracy over the will, rights or needs of the people. thanks to the courts and the GOP the u. s. is no longer a republic. it's now an oligarchy where the rule of law no longer applies if it interferes with your pursuit of ever greater profits and power.

  685. it wasn't so much a "reagan revolution" but a "reagan reaction." and the dems fell right in line. the rich and powerful have always FEARED the masses. this is why in the original constiutuion senators were appointed by state legislatures and the electoral college was created. to keep power out of the hands of the lower classes. since reagan stole the 1980 election the middle class has been dwindled down nearly to its pre-ww2 levels from its unprecedented height in 60s and 70s. the dems have had over 40 years to correct this downward trend but have done nothing substantial to change its trajectory, clinton even HELPED this downward trend by reversing the "glass-steagall act." obama's DACA was just another hand out to the insurance industry and biden's "chips act" just a hand out to the giant tech corpotations. one thing i know from first hand experience, over the last 40 years my life has become a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! i'm so much worse off than my parents. the country is deterioting at an incredible rate. and its the fault of BOTH PARTIES!

  690. equalism says; "capitalism is economic fascism and fascism is political capitalism. just as socialism is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism." democracy can't exist within a capitalist economy because its inherent concentration of wealth and power will corrupt the democratic process - as it INDEED has! socialism can't exist without democracy. they are 2 essential elements of the same process.

  692. isn't that odd? back when this video was posted the dems all favored national healthcare. NOW,, as of august 2019, however, during the last 4, recent, democratic debates ALL but 2 candidates denounce national healthcare as undoable, too expensive, too radical and "socialist." all but sanders and warren have adopted the GOP anti-healthcare hysteria and have been bought and corrupted by the private insurance industry. what a difference a few months make uh?

  693. if you believe really believe the elite on the left and right are equally corrupt there's a philosophy called equalism based, partly, just on that premise. equalism is the anti-ism ism. so, If anyone is looking for something truly original and different check out my equalism lecture series, in sequence beginning with equalism 101, on my channel. you can check out my latest series of videos: equalism 118a: Wisdoms and Lessons of History (part 1) at this link - https://youtu.be/oAUs81z6sOc - ALL non-predators are welcome. equalism exposes the leadership of both sides as fascist and corrupt. you never know, you all just may be equalists and not yet know it.

  694. there's several reasons why the elite aren't prosecuted for hiring of illegal immigrants. among them are CHEAP labor, labor they can screw out of their pay entirely and SERVANT labor. there aren't too many Americans willing to mow the lawns and wipe the baby's butts of the elite. these jobs are what the left call - jobs americans don't want. and the left claims without illegals to fill these jobs, including migrant labor, the American economy would collapse. which is absurd. without the elite's exploitation of illegal labor they'd have to mow their own lawns, clean their own houses and wipe their own baby's butts. its the elite who break this law which is why its no longer enforced. also, the immigration problem issue DIVIDES us which is precisely what the elite want so that want this problem to continue.

  695.  @barbi4817  … very little of this was kept a secret. it was publicly published for all to see. kinda makes you wonder why the dems, the liberals, didn't come up with their own plan to counter this assault on democratic values. instead the dems become MORE conservative and the media calls it "centrist" or "moderate." lts NOT! its a sell out to laissez-faire capitalism and Friedman economics. I guess the dems decided it was easier, and more lucrative, to join them rather than fight them.

  696.  Not Convinced  … trump's guilt is CLEAR as day. and his obstruction IS OBVIOUS AS HELL! trump has the ILLEGAL advantage of having a rigged trial and a tampered jury. in fact trump's jury tampering and threatening is ITSELF an impeachable offense. if the GOP does indeed allow trump to CONITINUE to be held unaccountable for and get away with his 5 year crime spree that will indicate the dissolvement of the American govt and constitution! the question is WILL AMERICANS act accordingly or will they continue to do nothing to protect their govt and constitution from being totally corrupted and dysfunctional and allow it to be run by a criminal GOP cartel?

  701. increase their number but DECREASE their time on the bench. we don't want them elected nor to have life-long appointments. this life-long appointment nonsense is utter crap. it can be worked out where each president is allowed 2 appointments during their tenure. at 15 year intervals 2 judges can be replaced every 5 years. or something like that. rich people DESPISE simple and elegant solutions. they want things as complicated and convoluted as possible. complication causes social conflict and conflict makes them RICHER and keeps them in power.

  709. its really very simple. not really as complicated as the elite would have us believe. ALL elitist systems are capitalist. ALL capitalist systems are authoritarian. and ALL authoritarian systems are fascist. humanity has been ruled by fascist, thus capitalist, authoritarian and elitist systems for the last 6000. the difference now is that technology has turned the traditional "authoritarian" state into a police state and the global elite are MORE UNIFIED and OPPRESSIVE than ever before. a fascist state, with a "modern" police and military apparatus, that's being slowly, but methodically, implemented throughout the world is what we face RIGHT NOW! WELCOME TO REALITY! and welcome to your PRESENT SLAVERY and the future slavery of your children!

NO ONE LISTENED! mtv, parents, school boards, govts and media advertisers continued to push this POLICE-STATE technology onto society and our kids. its not only about addiction its also about dependence. we're now TOTALLY interconnected and dependent on this police-state technology for our daily survival. the thing is algorithms aren't necassary at all. the corporations created them to defraud the public and the political fanatics saw their effectivness in manipulating gullible, sad people and jumped on the band wagon. corporations created these algorithms and sell them to any entity who wants to influence and lie to people.

  715. +Cheryl… of course its illegal. there are laws, and even etiquette, involved in legal immigration. when those laws are violated that, by definition, makes it illegal. did you know the gangs many of these people are running from were created here, in illegal immigrant communities, in the U.S.? these gangs then migrated south. just like American anti-drug policy created the gangster cartels that are causing so much misery and havoc in Mexico and Columbia its our decades old refusal to enforce our own immigration laws that created the gangs that many of the present day illegals are running from in central america.

  716. +Cheryl… I very wise man once said, "if what you're doing has the opposite effect than what's intended, then you stop doing it!" who was that wise man? ME! and that's a lesson the left has yet to learn. mass immigration, both legal and illegal, hurts labor, drives down wages, increases competition for sparce jobs and hurts unionization, hurts American poor, puts ridiculous and unnecessary stresses on already fragile and inadequate social safety nets, perpetuates and solidifies the elite by causing social divisions that keep them in power, offers the elite a pool of slave labor, promotes racial and ethnic stereotypes and prejudices and fuels the rise in race hatred and FASCISM!

  717. actually, the general definition of extortion involves the obtaining of property from another under color of official right. It is the wrongful taking of money or property not due to him "under color of official right,' with or without force, threats, or use of fear. california criminal code 518 - extortion is "the obtaining of property... with consent induced by a wrongful use of ... fear ... or under the color of official right" and yes, trump is guilty as hell of extortion many times over.

  719. the GOP ISN'T winning the "quid pro quo" argument as the caller suggests. quite the contrary. more and more people are realizing that the GOP is lying right in goose-step with trump; their lord and criminal master. not only does quid pro quo keep being confirmed in all the testimony so far, it merely reinforces the charges against trump because quid pro quo ISN'T required for a crime to have been committed and a crime doesn't have to be committed to qualify for an impeachable offense.

I dedicate my ENTIRE channel to this complacent apathy. but I offer solutions. its called equalism.

I already see it in every businician, politician, bureaucrat (public and private) lawyer, doctor, cop and mainstream journalist I see these days. my channel is my name also, but its completely dedicated to the philosophy of equalism, that I founded. just follow the links I provided above and spread the word. only through equalism can the non-fascists, the non-predators, on the left and right UNITE to fight their true common enemy - the elite on the left and right! i'll check out your channel too. do you understand this police state we live in couldn't be enforced without the modern technology that's in use today? technology hasn't freed us - its enslaved us on many levels.

  724. its virtually impossible to commit suicide while in custody. my theory is Epstein isn't dead. he's been sprung from prison orchestrated by the likes of trump. Clinton and all the rest of Epstein's deviant elitist buddies. these elite DIDN'T want any kind of trial or testimony to become public record. with the wealth and power these corrupt elite wield Epstein's covert release wouldn't be unprecedented or beyond the realm of probability. its simple indeed to merely switch him with a lookalike. who's gonna know and few would even care. it would actually be just as easy as killing him. only a few guards and a few select CIA operatives would need to be involved and coroner, who never Epstein, wouldn't know the difference. REMEMBER, you heard it here first.

  725. the question is - who keeps giving trump's family this enormous and unprecedented air time? never in the history of this country has a politician's family been so visible in the media and allowed to represent the "administration" or govt in an OFFICIAL capacity. why hasn't anyone ever condemned this insane anomaly. why isn't trump impeached yet? why is this criminal buffoon and his criminal buffoon family still being allowed to prance around like they OWN THIS COUNTRY?

  726. when you hear trump's bombasticising (some call it a speech) you hear him bragging about protecting "patents" and "intellectual property" which is nothing more than these protectionist monopolies Wallach spoke of. scientific advancements are supposed to benefit humanity. they aren't products that can be withheld in exchange for some ransom!

  727. the ukranian govt cleared biden and his son of ANY wrong doing! and you want him to go to jail? meanwhile trump commits crime after crime and you continue to grovel at his feet. in the audio where trump addresses the U.N. staff, he says those who leaked the info to the whistleblower committed treason. he was instructing his staff to EXPOSE whistleblowing leakers. the whistleblower was told it's a common occurrence to falsely "classifying" as SECRET trump's conversations (phone and in-person) with almost EVERY ONE. its routine for trump to hold secret meetings with all kinds of people and in all kinds of way. one way; they simply don't list the meeting on trump's itinerary. another way; no notes or record of the meeting is kept. a few years ago he held a "secret" meeting with putin where only interpreters were present that WE ALL knew about. this, in itself, was an IMPEACHABLE offense; a CRIME! yet NO ONE did anything about it! trump is a CRIMINAL! SECRECY is what criminals do!

THIS IS THEFT AND LOAN SHARKING! i've notified my own california federal reps, the U.S. educational comittee, the student loan program and even Obama when he was president on several occasions but - NO ONE CARES!  THIS IS INSANE! the reality is every cent stolen should be returned to me with interest but at this point in time they can keep $3500, or even $4 grand but the rest MUST BE RETURNED!

  731. this actually illegal. it was criminal fraud making the vote invalid. the n. carolina dems need to call this what is and act accordingly. the governor needs to declare the vote unconstitutional, issue arrest warrants and prosecute the GOP members who perpetrated this crime. its not difficult. ENFORCE THE DAMNED LAW! its called violation of "good faith," breach of promise, misrepresentation and FRAUD! politicians and political organizations are the ONLY profession allowed to commit blatant and obvious lie after lie, fraud after fraud and get away with it.

  733. +Lynn… the American elite have always been this way but the american people haven't been. only since the forced, mass urbanization and industrialization of the gilded age have the people, themselves become more corrupt, selfish and apathetic. this has made them more like the elite. and i'll argue that was elite's goal. I say we've been playing the elite's game of divide and conquer, divide and enslave long enough.

  734. the "Lincoln Project" just released an alarmingly accurate short anti-trump film that focused exclusively on the use of secret, unidentifiable, , militarized police that's been used against americans on trump's command. these are really just heavily armed "troops" and secret-police being used against lawful protestors. this exemplifies the REAL problem; it ISN'T trump, as horrible, despicable and criminal as he is. the problem is the fascists within govt and without, who willingly and happily implement and enforce trump's illegal orders.

  735. what hartman is talking about is called a "mob mentality." and it has nothing to do with human nature. its a CORRUPTION of our true nature. through 6000 years of constant conditioning the elite has created a mentally ill HUMANITY! we've been brainwashed and conditioned to be predatory, violent, deceitful and GULLIBLE! the oligarchs have conditioned us to automatically respond to certain stimuli in a certain manner like "Pavlov's dog!" its called a "knee jerk" response and we've been conditioned for 1000's of years to JERK respond to certain buzz words, imagery and social settings like crowds. WE'RE CONDITIONED TO DO WHAT THE CROWD DOES! its called "blind conformity." it has nothing to do with human nature.

  736. do you mean the company that supplies our country with its voting machines is altering the capabilities of these machines - adding and removing software - at will and with NO congressional or govt oversight? there's the problem right there! congress has relinquished more and more of its obligations and authority not only to the office of the president and the supreme court but they're relinquishing it to private corporations. congress might as well not even exist anymore. all they do is hand out contracts to private businesses and set back and let them do whatever they want with OUR govt!

  737. you have to remember, this is capitalism. the elite write the laws and make the rules and the laws they write exempt them from prosecution. the elite commit and get away with crimes everyday that would land any of us in jail. trump could still see prison for the crimes he committed BEFORE stealing the whitehouse. or for his tax fraud. but for his political crimes, he'll never spend a second in jail. BUT his children, his cabinet AND his staff COULD BE PROSECUTED! WE MUST GET INSIDE THAT DAMNED SECRET SERVER where trump keeps the records of his crimes hidden. and WE MUST outlaw "non-disclosure agreements" in govt.

  738. democracy is the peaceful and HONEST transfer of power through popular majority. we still have the "peaceful" part, so far. we just lost the "honest" and "majority" parts with trump. we probably lost them BEFORE trump. but he is the most blatant example of our losing those 2 aspects of democracy. did you hear what the n. Carolina GOP state "legislatures" pulled yesterday? they pulled an unquestionable act of public FRAUD to override a governor veto of the GOP penned state budget. i'm not a big democrat fan but the GOP is absolutely THE most corrupt, amoral and underhanded institution in this country. they lie cheat and steal to further their agenda. there's NO level too low to which they aren't willing to stoop to get their way.

  739.  @randydelp4073  … actually the U. S. has been a oligarchy, a plutocracy since BEFORE the revolution. the constitution and our capitalist economic system were designed by these oligarchs to solidify and continue elitist rule. and they, so far, have succeeded in their goal quite well.

  740.  @Derbisin  … I never said it was written in the constitution. I said that's what the document was designed to do. and it succeeds as is demonstrated everyday and has been demonstrated over the last 250 years. when was the last time you saw the govt defy the elite? or pass any legislation that wasn't corrupt, pro-business and/or written by the elite and their lawyers?

  742. you can blame the gay-lobby for this kid's tears. there's no such thing as a "cis" female or a 'trans" female. you were either born a female or you weren't. odd, how even when the gay-lobby is responsible for the pain, suffering and discrimination against young kids you still defend the gay-lobby. the gay-lobby and maga ARE JUST ALIKE! they're both fascists. they're both anti-women's rights. they both push absolute insanity and DEMAND all humanity accept their insanity as real. maga's so brainwashed they believe trump is PERFECT and can do no wrong. the left's so brainwashed they believe the gay-lobby is perfect and can do no wrong. WHEN'S THE DAMNED INSANITY, FANATICISM AND EXTREMISM GOING TO END? when's both sides going to end their attacks on REALITY?

  743. I WON'T BE GETTING ANY CHECKS! I have NEVER received ANY stimulus check issued by anyone. through a thing called treasury offset, over the last 12 years, the feds have stolen OVER 12 grand from my disability to pay off a $3500 student loan I DON'T OWE! and its perpetual - ITS A LIFETIME DEBT! the treasury dept withheld EVERY stimulus check from me. over the years I've notified 100's of politicians and the mainstream and alt media outlets AND left 100's of youtube comments AND NO ONE CARES!

  744. people on the right AND left have no idea what socialism is. there's no such thing as "democratic" socialism as a distinct system. ALL socialism is democratic. THAT'S THE POINT! and that's just one reason the soviets and Chinese were NEVER socialist. you can't have socialism without democracy. The word "democratic" in the term "democratic socialism" refers to how socialism is to be achieved NOT administered! you can either achieve it through revolution or through the electoral process. and the latter is impossible as long as there's an elite to corrupt the electoral process. furthermore, socialism CAN'T co-exist with monarchies or any elitist social structure which is why the Sweden and Denmark AREN'T socialist. lastly, socialism has no more to do with big government than big business. capitalism results in BOTH! what sanders and MOST other pseudo leftists and "progressives" propose is "state capitalism." if done right state capitalism can be better than laissez-faire capitalism but it still leaves the rich rich and the lower classes dependent on and enslaved to the elite. we NEED socialism and the only way to achieve it is through REVOLUTION! - a revolution of thought and non-compliance with our slave masters. and equalism, a philosophy I founded, offers the ONLY means to achieve REAL SOCIALISM, OUR FREEDOM and human rights!

  745. war WILL solve climate change - if it kills off enough people. because its WE THE PEOPLE who are contributing to it through our greed, addictions to and dependence on technology and electricity and our complacency and refusal to do what WE NEED TO DO to stop it! we complain yet take no action! we insist upon our convenience over ethics and responsibility. we demand a plasticized, concrete, asphalt paved, artificial world over our own TRUE and INHERENT and HEALTHY connection to nature and our planet.

  746.  @dictorfeelgood  … but trump did lose. as despised as Clinton was she still beat trump by over 3 million votes. which only demonstrates how despised trump really is. trump is no populist he's an opportunist, a cheat and a liar. and those are his good qualities.

  747. that's easy. you just do what the muslims, Catholics, hindus and third world countries do - REJECT population controls, family planning, contraception and abortion.

  748. who knows, maybe that would be a good thing. by dismantling what little social safety net we've retained over the decades maybe americans will finally WAKE UP and take action to remove this fascist elite from power. ITS LONG OVERDUE!

  749.  @corryjookit7818  … perhaps. barr was as an ex-AG for bush sr. he paved the way to exempt Reagan and bush sr from prosecution for iran contra. after that barr had plenty of cushy, high paying private sector jobs as a corporate lawyer and as an executive for GTE before it merged into Verizon. I don't think his motives are purely financial but ideological. he's a far right fascist through and through. he believes the office of the president should be superior to the other branches of govt and right wing holders of the office, like trump, should be given broad legal exemptions and political powers to enact elitist friendly, far right agendas. he supports "executive privilege" and the OLC rule "that a sitting president can't be indicted." while neither position is in the constitution or federal law. what he is is a republican attack dog and cover-up man. do you think its a mere coincidence he was placed as AG just 3 months BEFORE the mueller investigation ended. he was placed their to cover up trump's crimes and divert attention to unjustified, absurd issues. like "investigating the investigators." to help trump attack those who tried to enforce the law against trump. he's the corruption protector for the GOP!

  750. mass, unfettered immigration leads to fascism! the so-called "left's" embrace of these people is causing a HUGE global reactionary response. so is the "left's" ridiculous support for gay-agenda "transsexualism." if the lies and insanity that you support has the opposite effect of what you hoped - YOU STOP SUPPORTING IT! that's reality 101. the left's now just as fascist as the right; just as corrupt, unjust and intolerant. the left is just as responsible for the growth of global fascism as the right. i saw this coming 30 years ago. i've been telling the fascist left this for 30 years but they're now too biggoted, blind and fanatical to listenm to me!

  751. +Judith... you got that right! I was a teenager through the 70's and it SUCKED! I didn't think it could get any worse but man was I wrong! since thatcher and Reagan implemented Milton Friedman's neo-liberal, laissez-faire economic policies our world has been thrown into chaos and gutter-level elitism and fascism has ensued and FLOURISHED!

  752. I've heard trump cultists threaten civil war on many occasions right here on you tube. and do you remember when trump said if he were impeached there'd be violence in the streets? and these are the "people" claiming to love America. they love fascism, rule by violence, intimidation, fear and the threat of violence, that's what they love.

  753. ALL socialism is democratic. there's no such thing as "authoritarian" socialism. its just a fascist lie. and FDR was no socialist. he based his reforms on a capitalist economist named john maynard keynes who simply advocated govt deficit spending in times of dramatic economic downturns; like a derpression. keyenes was NO socialist and his policies were to placate public dissatisfaction and to STOP real revolution and keep the rich and their corporations in power. and it succeeded. sadly, few people on earth know what socialism actually is. and many, if not most, self-proclaimed "socialists" fall into this category. socialism ISN'T about taxes, big govt or govt programs. socialism is a UNITED, cooperative and coordinated democratic society where taxes, big govt and govt programs AREN'T needed! its where social responsibility is equated with individual rights. as much as i like mr wolff and appreciate his knowledge of capitalism, and how it fails to work, he's wrong about what defines the intent and goals of socialism. BIG GOVT, like big corporations, is the result of capitalism NOT socialism. govt interference to control the potential ravages of unfettered capitalist fraud and greed is a capitalist construct. because, under capitalism, THE RICH OLIGARCHS, own and operated both the govt and private enterprise. govt protections against capitalist greed and corruption may be better than no protections at all, but they exist to PROP UP and perpetuate capitalist economics and keep the rich in power.
    1
  754. i had the same questions following trump's perfectly timed publicity stunt. true or not its trump's OWN history of self promotion, lies and fraud that raises the questions in the first place. NOTHING trump does or says can be taken at face value. there's ALWAYS a scam involved! ALWAYS! trump keeps his entire life incredibly secret. its what all his ILLEGAL NDAs are about. he still hides his medical records. his educational records and tax returns from public view. THIS IS WHAT HARRIS should push during the debates. MAKE TRUMP PROVE SOMETHING! ANYTHING! just once!
    1
  755. and that "libertarian" platform advocated by Koch, the complete privatization of all govts and govt protections, obligations and responsibilities to THE PEOPLE, and the you're-on-your-own social attitude is precisely what the republican party had been advocating ever since, beginning with Reagan. and the democratic party soon jumped in as well. the insanity of Milton Friedman's supply-side, trickle-down, Laissez-faire economic principles has made the elite go CRAZY! and they were clinically insane to begin with!! its the fascists on the right who are just gullible and cruel enough to push for a CIVIL WAR! THEY WANT ONE! what we need is a revolution. a revolution in thought in how to respond to this insanity! watch my videos - "equalism 128: Where's the damned revolution?" at this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlMTKPF-1H0&feature=youtu.be - and - "equalism 122: This equalist Platform will get anyone elected!" at the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqCbqxLP03o - to discover just the revolution in thought is needed to END this fascist insanity!

  756. BOTH sides are exploiting these kids for political purposes. BOTH sides are misrepresenting the ENTIRE immigration issue and its the ELITE, our oppressors who profit from the divisions created. just ONCE i'd like to see the left care about the americans who suffer EVERYDAY! the working class, the poor, the elderly and disabled. look at the suffering of YOUR NEIGBORS first! American children go to bed hungry, are abused by the system and bullied EVERYDAY! i'm one of the American poor and disabled the left ignore because they're too concerned with NON-CITIZENS! I CAN'T GET MEDICAL CARE! i'm denied legal and political representation EVERYDAY! WAKE UP! you on the left are on the wrong side of this issue and we American poor, elderly and disabled are paying the price!

  757. +david... you can say that again. the last thing the elite on either side want is for us to be independent and self sufficient. one side wants us dependent on the elite through govt. the other side wants us dependent through business. they BOTH just offer slavery to THE ELITE! this is one of the fundamental tenets of the philosophy of equalism, which I founded. check out my latest video, just uploaded seconds ago - "equalism 129: This is THE most honest political video you'll ever see!" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbSfJOkBLio&feature=youtu.be - then watch my channel, at your leisure, in sequence to discover how the elite on the left and right are dividing us so THEY maintain power.

  758. trump is the biggest american gangster of the last 50 years. and, no, he's not a so-called "strong-man." he's an insecure, infintile, weaselly little bully. like all gangsters, trump isn't tough, he isn't smart. he's just an unscrupulous, ruthless moronic, spoiled brat who's gotten his way his whole life. he uses unethical lawyers to abuse the legal system for his benefit and threaten and attack those who expose his crimes. he pays off who he can and "inundates" those who refuse to be bought with frivilous counter suits to FORCE them to withdraw. trump corrupts everything in sight. THAT'S WHAT GANGSTERS DO! trump's stolen over a billion dollars from the banks and has left a trail of countless victims over 50 years long!
    1
  759. we not only need term limits but age limits. trump, Pelosi, mcconnell, biden, sanders and warren are ALL well into their 70's. so govt is the only place where a 70 year old can find gainful employment? these are all govt and corporate lifers. NO MORE lifers determining the direction of our country and running our lives. and this includes the supreme court where 12 or 15 year limits would be ideal. right now our entire social system, the public and private sectors, has been ruled by the SAME people for 50, 60 years. corporations are just a revolving door where rich people bounce around from corporation to corporation, they sit on the boards of numerous corporations and institutions simultaneously. and these SAME elite are in and out of the govt revolving door as lobbyists, advisors, policy makers and appointed offices. you wanna know why nothing changes? one reason is that the people making the decisions never change! there is no differentiation between public and private sector anymore because its the same private sector elite ruling BOTH! the U. S. govt is just another corporation; a subsidiary of the Fortune 100!
    1
  760. you're right, bribery, extortion and corruption are now all perfectly legal in the U. S. partly because of the "citizens united" supreme court ruling. during 2016 R-party debates trump openly admitted to bribing elected officials and NOBODY batted an eye!
    1
  761. kinda makes you wonder what trump and the American elite has done and how much money they've spent in helping keep putin in power. that's why trump, the American elite, putin and the russian elite all like each other so much; they're very much alike - corrupt as hell - and help each other stay in power.
    1
  762. the coup d'etet occurred when the elite placed trump in the white house. TRIMP ISN'T THE LEGAL PREDISENT! i've been saying since the sham election. now the fascists are saying the same thing against the people who are trying to REVERSE the coup! ask yourselves, why is trump STILL in the white house after 2 YEARS! despite the crimes he committed before, during and after that sham election?
    1
  763. but you're right for sure. as long as we continue to allow our political system to be dominated by the corrupt GOP/Dem duopoly. NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE!

  764. @Larpy McLarperstein ... uuhhh, its the GOP, the corporatists and the capitalists who favor authoritarianism and oppressive centralized govt. and trump is just one indication of this. trump's the most authoritarian person to occupy the whitehouse in a 100 years. he's even using the federal govt to VIOLATE state rights and STEAL a national election. trump violates the rule of law, the constitution and continually acts unilaterally over the objections of the u. s. congress and courts. so quit falsely claiming you want small govt when the reality is you seek an oppressive, elitist-controlled, authoritarian govt that enforces the will of the FASCIST, capitalist elite.
    1
  765. @Larpy McLarperstein ... i just reread my comments on this thread. I SAID JUST THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU CLAIMED! so, go to hell. you can worship trump from there. he'll join you there soon enough.

  766. i sure wish these people would read their comments so they could learn something. socialist "authoritarianism" IS IMPOSSIBLE! the words are diametrically OPPPOSED to one another. THE major definition of socialism is ANTI-authoritarian. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! in other words - socialist-authoritarianism isn't socialism at all - ITS FASCISM! which means the soviet union and china WEREN'T socialist. they weren't communist. they WERE FASCIST! here's how it works; if you talk like a fascist, walk like one and act like one, THEN YOU"RE A FASCIST regardless of what you call yourself or of what "historians" want to call you. my god, its the easiest thing to figure out IN THE WORLD! when the hell am i going to be allowed a VOICE on these channels so i can SPREAD THE TRUTH and straighten this crap out! no one else is doing it. and they won't let me do it EITHER!

  767.  @leonardocaicedo1273  they're all related to the corporate police-state being implemented RIGHT NOW! the elite on the right AND left are using nonsensical issues to keep divided and in conflict with each other rather than UNITING against them and their police-state. thank goodness I've retained the ability to think independently and objectively and separate the manipulation from the REAL issues.
    1
  768.  @lindachancellor7538  … and thank you my friend. you brought up another point. CONSUMERISM is slavery. labor spends its lifetime in slavery so it can "buy" pointless, useless, overpriced products it doesn't need and in fact doesn't even want. that's what commercialism and commercials are for - to convince us we MUST HAVE something we don't really need. and then we become addicted to and dependent on these products that are DESIGNED yo break down within a certain amount of time so we MUST BUY another one. its an endless cycle of manipulation, dependence and addiction. its called capitalism. and that's how its intended to work!

  769.  @lindachancellor7538  …. in other words, technology and consumer based economics doesn't work for us, they work against us. they exist not for our benefit but for the benefit of our slave masters.

  770. what did you expect? this is why the internet exists. so the corporate elite and their govt lapdogs can spy on us and to spread lies and disinformation. TO KEEP US DIVIDED! how many more times do i have to say this - technology DOESN'T exist for our benefit but for the benefit of our gangster leaders! why do you think EVERYONE, ALL CORPORATIONS, ALL ORGAINIZATIONS, ALL GOVTS are creating a world that DEMANDS WE ALL use their police-state technology? i've already BEEN LOCKED OUT because i don't own a cell phone. i'm denied business services and products and access to govt and govt programs because i REFUSE to buy a damned cell phone. i'm forced to be on the internet to gain access to what few social functions i can access. i don't wanna be on the damned internet. i'm not a moron! our bank accts, our medical histories, our personal info, what we buy, where we go, who we talk to, our ENTIRE histories are ALL on the internet ready to be hacked and used against US! and you idiots fell for it! I DIDN'T! but i'm paying the price for YOUR STUPIDITY!

THE POLICE-STATE IS HERE! when are you jerks going to figure this OUT? am i the ONLY american with the intelligence and integrity to DENOUNCE and reject this police-state? apparently i am! i've been fighting this police-=state - ALL ALONE - for over 40 years! i'm sick of this crap!

  772. +greg… its been a common and well known ploy for the CIA, FBI and other fascist govt agencies to infiltrate left wing orgs to create disunity and confusion and bring them down from the inside. and don't forget the coup d'état in 2016 that brought trump to power. there isn't an underhanded trick in the book the elite haven't utilized to destroy any attempt at real, constructive change in this country.
    1
  773. +greg… yep, not only not likely to succeed but also not likely to ever occur. the anti-elitist tradition on the left makes them want to seek democratic solutions not power grabs. the problem is - the "leadership" on the left tend to be just as corrupt as on the right so when the left believe they've achieved govt influence through the democratic process they're always betrayed.

  774. if you didn't see harris running for president 4 years ago you're blind as hell. of course, the news media is the "enemy of the people." i thought that was trump's schtick. the similarities between "maga" and "woke" are UNDENIABLE. yet neither side will admit or they just IGNORE this reality. delusion, intolerance, identity politics, situational ethics, double standards and hypocrisy are RAMPANT fueled by obsession with and addiction to all this INSANE corporate, police technology - THE INTERNET! we're being purposely divided by our rulers so THEY stay in power. we're being played people. we're being manipulated, herded into one fanatical exteme group or the other. moderation, common ground, common sense and common decency have been demonized to advance the fascism of our chosen group. all i can is - OPEN YOUR DAMNED EYES. its not being hidden from you. through willful ignorance you're just denying reality - AGAIN!
    1
  775. except for the e-cigarette thing (no one is dying from e-cigarettes) the caller was exactly right. the question is why hasn't trump, himself, or any of his kids been subpoenaed? they've been given illegal security clearances and don't even have the qualifications to be among the WH staff. this is pure nepotism, its illegal and no one ever mentions it. we have, RIGHT NOW, a criminal in the Whitehouse, a criminal Whitehouse staff, a criminal Whitehouse cabinet, a criminal led SENATE and criminals leading the GOP! we have a DAMNED ROGUE, OUT OF CONTROL, CRIMINAL GOVT and we damned well better STOP IT! REMOVE TRUMP!

  776. these partisan actions by the GIOP, McConnel et al, are not only underhanded and unethical, their ILLEGAL and unconstitutional. so you have to ask yourselves, where's the democratic leadership during all this? why are they nor raising hell? they need to be relentlessly filing law suits and funding and organizing MASS protests. why is it EVERYTIME the dems it screwed, and they've been getting screwed a lot these last 40 years, why do they just roll over and play dead?

  779. i've paid over $11, 000 on a $3500 single semester student loan debt i don't owe AND THEY'RE NOT STOPPING! treasury offset has been stealing from my poverty level monthly disability payments since 2007 to pay on this debt. at the end of every year the student loan program adds more to the debt in interest than was paid the previous year turning this into a LIFE-LONG DEBT! i didn't even finisish the semester and i recieved NO GRADES! i've paid 11 GRAND AND RECIEVED ABOLUTELY NOTHING IN RETURN! and i've NEVER returned to college! the numerous other reasons i don't owe this false debt is irrevelant! because they've STOLEN $11,000 for a $3500 debt AND THEY'RE NOT STOPPING!!!! THIS IS THEFT AND LOAN SHARKING! i've notified my own california federal reps, the U.S. educational comittee, the student loan program and even Obama when he was president on several occasions but - NO ONE CARES!  THIS IS INSANE! the reality is every cent stolen should be returned to me with interest but at this point in time they can keep $3500, or even $4 grand but the rest MUST BE RETURNED!

  783. bush wasn't elected and trump wasn't elected. Obama was denied his right to appoint garland, or someone else, to the supreme court and in less than 2 years trump has illegally "appointed" 2 SC justices. the 2nd one being Kavanaugh. i think I see a pattern emerging here.

  784. the civil war was never about ending slavery. it was about forcing the south to abandon their racially based agrarian slavery in favor of the north's industrial, wage and debt slavery. and as for raising monuments idolizing southern Confederates; its like the U.S. raising monuments in tribute to Benedict Arnold, King George III or Hitler. following the civil war the north allowed the southern racists to think and teach that they they won the war and to continue living as if they had!

    1
  786. yes, its sad when the elite's propoganda machine makes the lower classes "identify" more with the elite - THAN EACH OTHER! although virtually none of us have a real chance of ever becoming rich! a lot of this BS is promoted by pop culture as singers and rappers have relentlessly PUSHED the pursuit of wealth, at ALL costs, materialism and commercialism on our youth over the last 40 years! so many anericans, INCLUDING THE LEFT, equate wealth with freedom. they claim wealth can BUY freedom. that while the rest of us are slaves to the elite, the elite themselves ARE FREE! THIS IS A LIE! that comes from the left as well as the right. the reality is wealth doesn't buy freedom - it buys PRIVILEGE! there's a huge difference between the two. here's capitalism 101: capitalism produces slavery across class lines. the non-elite, the comlen, are enslaved by those who have money. the elite are enslaved by the money ITSELF! rich people will choose slavery to money and the class privilege it allows over slavery to other people ANYDAY! this is the perspective of the philosophy of equalism. i talked about this on my equalism channel MONTHS AGO! maybe if some of you watched some of you might actually learn something new.

  791. +jackanapes... excellent thought but i'm afraid it doesn't work that. capitalism is not an economic tool but an elitist tool. social stratification, corruption and elitist oppression is how capitalism is designed to work. the incentive of capitalism is to place wealth and power in fewer and fewer hands. that's not an unintended byproduct but its true nature and goals.
    1
  792.  Steve Kiefer  … i'm afraid something similar to that is happening right now! I just saw another interview with graham where he defends trump's unilateral demands as absolute. the GOP is in fear of this criminal and they're standing by and doing nothing as trump assumes absolute control over our entire government. the GOP have become enablers of trump's insanity. and if WE don't stop this illegal fascist take-over of our government no one else will. the dems sure aren't doing anything to stop it. this is SERIOUS! this is worse than Nixon and Reagan. the next step is being taken RIGHT NOW! we're witnessing the dismantling of the division of powers and our constitutional government before our very eyes. and no steps are being taken to stop it!
    1
  793.  Steve Kiefer  …. millions of people, including me, feel the very same fear as you. and there are just as many people on the right that fear this insanity as on the left. but the trolls have been let lose and the so-called polls have been compromised. remember trump LOST in 2016. he didn't win ANY LEGAL election. so you're right to doubt that trump could be replaced through any voting. OUR VOTES STOPPED COUNTING decades ago.
    1
  794.  Steve Kiefer  this is the result of a fascist process that began 40 years ago with Reagan. things have been methodically deteriorating ever since. and trump is, apparently, the conclusion of the process. the next and final step is being taken RIGHT NOW! we're witnessing the dismantling of the division of powers and our constitutional government before our very eyes. and no steps are being taken to stop it!
    1
  795.  Steve Kiefer  the dems have about a 2 million majority over the GOP in national membership. so how do they keep losing elections and control of the senate? why isn't the dem elite raising hell about this discrepancy? i'm no democrat but you'd think they'd be more adamant about exposing this corruption. and then they keep pushing crazy, nonsensical issues like they're trying to lose votes. and when they do gain office they act more like republicans than democrats. the dems RIGHT NOW could be organizing and funding a resistance movement, protests, civil disobedience and even confrontation not unlike the civil rights, anti-war and abortion rights movements of the 60's. why aren't they? its because the dems AND the left in general have become part of the problem.
    1
  796.  Steve Kiefer  what I do know is that the reasonable, non-predatory people on the left and right OUTNUMBER the fanatical and predatory people on both sides! and they damned well better begin to recognize their common interests and UNITE and do it real damned soon. that's why I founded equalism. a new and innovative social movement DESIGNED SPECIFICALL to fight the fascism on the left and right so we can awaken from this fascist nightmare that's been slowly taking over the world in the last 40 years!

  797.  some guy  most definitely! I have a saying I use quite often -" the leadership on the left and right are both corrupt and crazy. but since the GOP allowed their party to become trump's personal cult they've taken a HUGE lead in the loony sweepstakes." "dictator in training" is no longer hyperbole. trump can no longer be taken as the mere joke and moron that he is. he's making more unilateral decisions everyday, bypassing congress and the courts. he's no longer a dictator in training but a dictator in practice. its REAL! we're witnessing trump, barr, mcconnell and the GOP dismantle the separation of powers and the constitution right before our eyes!

  798. what do you expect from a country and a citizenry that allows a colossally incompetent gangster like trump to illegally take control of OUR govt in the first place! where were - ARE - the protests? the riots? as far as i'm concerned the U. S. is getting EXACTLY what it deserves! the problem is - I'M SUFFERING AND I DON'T DESERVE IT! these checks they're going to hand out - I WON'T GET MINE! I've been DENIED EVERY stimulus check EVER OFFERED by the U. S. govt! millions of poor WON'T get their MONEY! covid-19 PROVES just how badly we've needed a revolution in the last 4 - 50 years! but americans were just TOO complacent and apathetic.

  799. if you didn't see harris running for president 4 years ago you're blind as hell. of course, the news media is the "enemy of the people." i thought that was trump's schtick. the similarities between "maga" and "woke" are UNDENIABLE. yet neither side will admit or they just IGNORE this reality. delusion, intolerance, identity politics, situational ethics, double standards and hypocrisy are RAMPANT fueled by obsession with and addiction to all this INSANE corporate, police technology - THE INTERNET! we're being purposely divided by our rulers so THEY stay in power. we're being played people. we're being manipulated, herded into one fanatical exteme group or the other. moderation, common ground, common sense and common decency have been demonized to advance the fascism of our chosen group. all i can is - OPEN YOUR DAMNED EYES. its not being hidden from you. through willful ignorance you're just denying reality - AGAIN!

  803. thanks to Susan-Jane Brown, her org and others like them. the question is why is our "legal" system upside down? why can govt and corporations do as they please UNTIL or UNLESS they're challenged in court. it should go the other way. the govt and corporations should FIRST go through and ask permission of the courts BEFORE they decide to break the law. every time a govt adm or agency wants to do something that alters or defies current law they need to access the courts for review and approval. not to allow them to do as they please until they're challenged or get caught. and this is further aggravated by the govt and corporate attempts to break the law in SECRET without public review or input. capitalism works upside down. lastly, why isn't criminal prosecution an option to be used against these criminals? these govt agencies and corporations get away with crime after crime. at most they MIGHT be fined. but more often they're just told to STOP without any fear of criminal repercussions. these are just a couple of reasons, among 1000's, why we MUST abolish this undemocratic, profiteering and environmentally destructive capitalist system!

  804. trump is an oligarchic fascist. just like his buddies who helped in steal the white house. its part of a campaign to destroy democracy throughout the world. since the thatcher/Reagan era oligarchic fascism has been spreading and growing all over the world right along with neo-liberal laissez-faire capitalism, global elitist wealth and the police state and human dependence on inter-connected technological systems. if anyone doesn't see a link between these concurrent developments is blind as all hell! this scam actually began right after ww2. it was accelerated by thatcher and reagan and its grown incrementally worse ever since. WAKE UP! we NEED a revolution and NOW!

  806. there's no doubt that capitalism works by rewarding the most unempathetic, megalomaniacal, predatory and sociopathic society has to offer. the elite place one stipulation on social predation and that's that it must make or keep you financially wealthy, politically powerful or both. otherwise, to them, you're just a 2-bit punk or thug. they equate gaining success, by any means, as deserving success. they equate "superiority" with their warp and twisted sense of "rugged individualism." they call it ambition and embrace the "never-take-no-for-an-answer mentality. strength and masculinity are demonstrated through taking what you want without any regard for who you may hurt in the process or any law or ethical or moral standard. they consider people who play by the rules as suckers and compassion and conscience as weaknesses to be exploited or defeated with impunity. this ISN'T how john locke envisioned free-marketism or adam smith envisioned capitalism. but this is how the elite and other predators corrupted these ideas to perpetuate their power, prestige and privilege.

  807.  @AcuteStressResponse  … don't underestimate the massive corruption of trump and the negative effects this conman is having on the whole of society. trump is A MAJOR problem all unto himself. but you're right, aside from trump, BOTH sides, democrat and republican, the left and right, are fraught with corruption. the elite on both sides take advantage of the divisions they, themselves, create through identity politics, fire-hosing and countless other scams. the elite purposely herd us, label us, manipulate us and pit us against one other and we fall for it generation after generation. I REFUSE to play this game of divide and conquer any longer. so I founded a philosophy called equalism based precisely on countering these realities. watch my channel. its devoted ENTIRELY to the unity of equalism. I can send you some links if you like. JOIN US, wake up others and lets fix the mess the elite have made for us.

  812.  @bradbecker8982  ... rand was a fascist social darwinsist who wanted govt to get out of the way of the rich so they could rule unhindered NOT through govt but through CORPORATIONS and business. btw, what's a "donation-funded constitutional republic"? that's the silliest thing i ever heard. the elite, like trump, already donate to our political system. they bribe and coprrupt every politician they can lay their hands on. they call it "donating" to their favorite candidate. and you're saying this is what rand had inrended. I AGREE! of course she did. she WORSHIPPED wealth and the rich.

  819. yep, the u. s. is the BIGGEST corporate incarceration state in the world. we have more people either behind bars, on paroll or probation than the total populations of 50% of every nation on earth. in the u. s. we're ruled by the military industrial complex, the technology industrial complex and the prison industrial complex. and we ALL suffer from an extremely apathetic delusional and denial-of- reality complex. sadly, few people on earth know what socialism actually is. and many, if not most, self-proclaimed "socialists" fall into this category. socialism ISN'T about taxes, big govt or govt programs. socialism is a UNITED, cooperative and coordinated democratic society where taxes, big govt and govt programs AREN'T needed! its where social responsibility is equated with individual rights. as much as i like mr wolff and appreciate his knowledge of capitalism, and how it fails to work, he's wrong about what defines the intent and goals of socialism. BIG GOVT, like big corporations, is the result of capitalism NOT socialism. govt interference to control the potential ravages of unfettered capitalist fraud and greed is a capitalist construct. because, under capitalism, THE RICH OLIGARCHS, own and operated both the govt and private enterprise. govt protections against capitalist greed and corruption may be better than no protections at all, but they exist to PROP UP and perpetuate capitalist economics and keep the rich in power.

  820. I constantly write and speak of how ending the draft back in the early '70's didn't change anything. its still the lower classes who make up the armed forces, usually to escape poverty and for the G. I. Bill. but bringing back the draft isn't the solution either because it'll still be only the lower classes who'll face inscription as the upper classes, with their connections, can buy their way out of it. there's only one solution to this dilemma and that's to remove the elite from power and I don't see that happening any time soon. (btw, the civil rights movement, the voter rights act, Johnson's war on poverty and the 18 year old vote didn't really change anything either. in fact, over the last 40 years, since Reagan stole the Whitehouse, things have only gotten exponentially worse.)

  821. I agree. where's the outcry over the abuse of American poor children? the left's traditional position on immigration, they AREN'T refugees, but illegal immigrants, is wrong! I've been fighting fascism for IOVER 40 years and the left is CREATING fascism from its insane stance on this issue! I say its damned time the American left hold mass rallies and protests to end American poverty! to help American labor! to help the American elderly and disabled! I AM AMERICAN POVERTY and i'm damned tired of the left's betrayal of the US disenfranchised in favor of foreigners! the left OVER idealizes these illegals just as much as the right over demonizes them. watch my video - equalism 127: Sanctuary Cities? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZwUb0__RaM&feature=youtu.be - to find the truth of the harm the immigration issue is doing this country!

  822. has any one noticed how the last 2 republicans to be placed in the white house, bush jr and trump, BOTH lost the popular vote? Obama was a hypocrite and criminal but at least he received the most votes. which means the majority of americans FAVOR left-leaning economics if not out and out socialism. if the left would just alter its social positions on gender-dysphoria delusions and immigration insanity we would easily gain the support of even MORE people and start winning these elections.  MOST americans want economic justice, gay rights, woman equality and an end to racism, ethnic prejudice and insane foreign policies, THIS IS WHAT EQUALISM IS ALL ABOUT.an end to the extremism and BS both the left and right offer us that divides us! join the equalism movement and lets UNITE for the benefit of ALL americans… and the world.

  825. you're NUTZ! trump is doing this to HIMSELF! he's his own worst enemy. an incompetent buffoon willfully committing criminal acts. just like he's done his whole! his whole life this moron has relied on crooked lawyers to keep him out of PRISON! actually, in the audio where trump addresses the U.N. staff, he says those who leaked the info to the whistleblower committed treason. he was instructing his staff to EXPOSE whistleblowing leakers. the whistleblower was told it's a common occurrence to falsely "classifying" as SECRET trump's conversations (phone and in-person) with almost EVERY ONE. its routine for trump to hold secret meetings with all kinds of people and in all kinds of way. one way; they simply don't list the meeting on trump's itinerary. another way; no notes or record of the meeting is kept. a few years ago he held a "secret" meeting with putin where only interpreters were present that WE ALL knew about. this, in itself, was an IMPEACHABLE offense; a CRIME! yet NO ONE did anything about it! trump is a CRIMINAL! SECRECY is what criminals do!

  826. @Richard Buse … yes, the DNC did betray both sanders and the democratic process. but turning to a fascist like trump in response was a betrayal of sanders as well. trump represents the absolute opposite of EVERYTHING sanders stood for. trump is the embodiment of corruption, lies, secrecy, elitism and fascism. let me put it to you this way - trump could've supported EVERYTHING I hold dear and I STILL would never vote for that life-long criminal and tv-reality-game show jackass! CHARACTER means as much to me as policy. lastly, trump DID conspire with the russians and obstructed the probe into that crime. Mueller's report PROVED IT! several people now sit in prison for covering for trump. now he's done the EXACT same thing with the ukranians. and these are just some of the crimes he's committed over the last 4 or 5 years! and its documented he's told OVER 12,0000 LIES! just since occupying the white house. trump's a liar, a fraud, a thief and a rapist and he's been so for over 40 YEARS!

  830. Mussolini didn't found fascism. he merely gave it a name. fascism is what's ruled humanity over the last 6000 years. fascism is ANY society with an elitist hierarchy. ALL oligarchies, plutocracies and authoritarian and police states are fascist by definition. we have those on the left who don't know what socialism is. we have those on the right who don't know what fascism is. we have those on both sides who don't know what either is. and the uneducated are extremely susceptible to lies and deceit. over the last 20 years the fascists have fire-hosed lies about hitler and fascism being synonymous with socialism. I, now, hear this absurdity about 5 times a day on youtube alone. the fascists are fire-hosing a RE--branding of themselves. by denouncing the word "fascism" and labeling their opposition with the word, they hide they're true intent and principles. they denounce the WORD "fascism" while maintaining its principles and promoting its goals. the fascists are misrepresenting themselves EN MASS and people are falling for it! lying to gain political advantage and power is what fascists do best! THIS IS SERIOUS PEOPLE! fascists are rewriting history and altering reality. they are completely amoral, opportunistic and lacking in ethics and integrity. they believe in seizing power through ANY MEANS! - dirty tricks, underhanded tactics, fraud and force.

  832. @Olivia P … agreed. all of society is becoming too dependent on automation and police-state technology. all citizen's united did was legalize bribery. and the medical industry has been an overpriced scam for decades. might I add one issue. universal equal access to legal representation, the courts and law enforcement. the legal industry has been pricing itself out of the reach of 75-80% of the people for centuries. protecting our right to the courts and legal representation would lead to universal health care, universal education and the overturning of citizen's united. it would probably eliminate poverty all together and revolutionize society.

THAT'S THE LAW! if you lie on a govt form they send you to prison for years! but if you commit criminal fraud in a political campaign to attain political power that's somehow acceptable? that's not how the law works! trump has NEVER been the legal u. s. president and he's NOT the legal president "elect" today! but of course for some odd reason the authorities NEVER enforce the law against trump.

THIS IS THEFT AND LOAN SHARKING! i've notified my own california federal reps, the U.S. educational comittee, the student loan program and even Obama when he was president on several occasions but - NO ONE CARES!  THIS IS INSANE! the reality is every cent stolen should be returned to me with interest but at this point in time they can keep $3500, or even $4 grand but the rest MUST BE RETURNED!

WE'RE NOT! fascists and anti-fascists are in mortal conflict for the future of human freedom and there are fascists and anti-fascists on BOTH sides. and many (most) of them can't even identify themselves correctly because of all the misinformation, lies and fire-hosing the fascist elite spew on a daily basis! watch my equalism channel if you ever want to actually end this INSANE perpetual cycle of conflict the elite have implemented over the last 6000 years!

  841.  @3PacBack  ... you made so many good points I don't know which one to respond to. I particularly liked your point that becoming "president" doesn't revoke your citizenship and you're still subject to all the same laws as every other citizen. that's a unique way of saying - no one is above the law. also, the concept of "executive privilege" is no more constitutional than "you can't indict a sitting president." they're both just absurdities someone made up and neither exist in the constitution OR federal law. as for the GOP finally succumbing to the rule of law and removing trump - I CERTAINLY HOPE SO! more facts are being uncovered everyday that hopefully will SO overwhelm these trump sycophants they'll put ethic's, integrity and COUNTRY ahead of their misplaced loyalty to a criminal. BUT WE MUST DO OUR PART! we must SCREAM our demands for trump's REMOVAL! we must phone these senators, BOTH republican and democrat, OVER AND OVER! we must make our voices heard that WE WILL NOT ACCEPT criminal or unethical activity from ANY POLITICIAN, much less a "president."

  842. Obamacare sucks. it wasn't what the progressives wanted, or the liberals, or the conservatives. but it was what the elite wanted and their fascists supporters. it was forced payments to an insurance industry who is the cause of crappy health care in America in the first place. the insurance elite get richer meanwhile it remains a crap shoot, but a forced crap shoot, on whether you'll get the coverage you need or want at a price you can afford. insurance companies offer 50, 60 different plans for a reason. its to confuse the consumer and guarantee the consumer will either underpay for too little coverage or overpay for coverage he doesn't need. that's how this industry has always made its astronomical profits. and Obamacare, which was actually written by and for the insurance industry, just perpetuates this scam. I wish liberals would stop their misplaced obligation of supporting that CRAP!

  843. fascists still equate concentrated wealth with "individualism" and hold on to the fallacy that hard work results in wealth and wealth is simply a sign of superiority. they deny the reality they, themselves, experience in their own lives while embracing the myths espoused by their own oppressors. that's CRAZY! maybe reagan emptied the mental institutions to increase the republican base!

  844. i can't speak for other countries but the U. S. is notorious for taking out heads of state. what do you think regime change is? the cia has conducted regime change throughout central and south America and the middle east for over a hundred years. both the shah of iran and iraq's sadam Hussein were placed in power by U. S. regime change. the cia tried to assassinate castro on many occasions. the U. S. took out both panama's noriega and libya's al-Qaddaf. the cia just recently helped remove morales from Bolivia and is trying to do the same to maduro in Venezuela. and these are just a few examples. so if removing the heads of state is considered violations of the unwritten law of warfare the U. S. has violated that law for over century.

  852. the real crime is - the elite REFUSE to remove trump from the "power" that he stole! after a 5 year crime spree and over 140,00 americans dead, and the elite STILL REFUSE to remove him and hold him, and his criminal cult, accountable! TRUMP, nor his family, WILL EVER FACE A SINGLE MINUTE OF INCARCERATION! and that's the BIGGEST CRIME OF ALL!

  853. it'll be challenged by the ACLU, and probably others. it will, eventually, be deemed unconstitutional. the GOP knew it wouldn't be upheld in court BEFORE they ever voted on it. they didn't care. they wanted the media coverage. it was a political stunt to make a point and to inform their fascists followers they're doing all they can to promote fascism in their state. in other words, it was an political ploy on which to run their florida campaigns next election. and people say this dangerous clown fascist Ron DeSantis is trump's successor. i'd say, yep, that sounds about right. yes, DeSantis is every bit as fascist and crazy as trump is.

  854.  @rickbarnadas8989  ... i agree with you. but i bet they're the first one's to challenge DeSantis' crazy police-state bill.

  855. equalism says; "capitalism is economic fascism and fascism is political capitalism. just as socialism is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism." democracy can't exist within a capitalist economy because its inherent concentration of wealth and power will corrupt the democratic process - as it INDEED has! socialism can't exist without democracy. they are 2 essential elements of the same process.

  856. i think you mean the "roman empire." it evolved from the collapse of the roman republic in about 500bc and itself collapsed after 1000 years around 500ad. the "holy roman empire" was a completely different entity. it rose in northern europe around 1000ad, well after the fall of rome and it didn't even include the city ROME! it was never a republic or a democracy. it eventually dissolved around 1800 and, in 1871, became what is known as germany today.

  857. thanks to Susan-Jane Brown, her org and others like them. the question is why is our "legal" system upside down? why can govt and corporations do as they please UNTIL or UNLESS they're challenged in court. it should go the other way. the govt and corporations should FIRST go through and ask permission of the courts BEFORE they decide to break the law. every time a govt adm or agency wants to do something that alters or defies current law they need to access the courts for review and approval. not to allow them to do as they please until they're challenged or get caught. and this is further aggravated by the govt and corporate attempts to break the law in SECRET without public review or input. capitalism works upside down. lastly, why isn't criminal prosecution an option to be used against these criminals? these govt agencies and corporations get away with crime after crime. at most they MIGHT be fined. but more often they're just told to STOP without any fear of criminal repercussions. these are just a couple of reasons, among 1000's, why we MUST abolish this undemocratic, profiteering and environmentally destructive capitalist system!

  858. I appreciate you enthusiasm and approach but few of us have the realistic option of growing our own. I sure don't. I live in cali too and pot's been legal for nearly 2 years now and I STILL can't buy any pot - not even the overpriced-store kind. the law was passed with so many damned loop=holes and exceptions 70% of local legislatures are keep it illegal in "their" jurisdictions. what kind of a law is that? lastly, once the big time "investors" and corporations get a hold of it they will ruin it for everyone. pot culture, mega-profits and political corruption DON'T mix. but try telling that to the younger people who's been brainwashed to believe "legalization" is all that's important.

  859. sadly, few people on earth know what socialism actually is. and many, if not most, self-proclaimed "socialists" fall into this category. socialism ISN'T about taxes, big govt or govt programs. socialism is a UNITED, cooperative and coordinated democratic society where taxes, big govt and govt programs AREN'T needed! its where social responsibility is equated with individual rights. as much as i like mr wolff and appreciate his knowledge of capitalism, and how it fails to work, he's wrong about what defines the intent and goals of socialism. BIG GOVT, like big corporations, is the result of capitalism NOT socialism. govt interference to control the potential ravages of unfettered capitalist fraud and greed is a capitalist construct. because, under capitalism, THE RICH OLIGARCHS, own and operate both the govt and private enterprise. govt protections against capitalist greed and corruption may be better than no protections at all, but they exist to PROP UP and perpetuate capitalist economics and keep the rich in power.

  860. I disagree. I believe mueller was fair and honest UNTIL Barr took over the DOJ. do you think its a mere coincidence mueller ended his investigation just a few weeks AFTER Barr was appointed? no. Barr told mueller his was taking over the investigation.

  861.  @davedalessandroDalessandro  ... i actually heard a late-night talk show host say the same joke. (I forget which one.) i'm thinking it could Tiffany, trump's OTHER daughter that he seems to neglect and hardly ever mention. maybe she's thinking its PAY BACK TIME!

  862. she's right. the green new deal is a threat to this corrupt capitalist system. as long as we continue to allow the rich and their fascist apologists to make all the economic decisions for all of society and the world we will continue to fail. its time to stop letting these people have their way on every issue. its time to do thinks right for once.

  863. nation-states are passe. today, every govt on earth is a corporation. the corporate-state has replaced the nation-state like the nation-state replaced the city-state and the city-state replaced the socialist communities and united societies that ALL humanity once lived in. in the U.S. the fed is corporation as is EVERY state, county, city and township. its their corporate status that protects their autonomy and rule over the land they occupy and claim "ownership" of.

  864. i recently read an article, sorry, can't remember the author, that calls trump the biggest bio-terrorist in history. and they're RIGHT! trump's criminality is worse THAN EVER and the biggest crime of all - WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO REMOVE HIM before the election,- for any reason! and despite the fact he didn't even win any election! the U. S. is in DIRE need of a constitutional makeover. but don't expect any substantial improvements in the system as long as the Dems, the GOP, the corporations and the elite maintain their absolute monopoly over our economy and political process. there's only one solution - REVOLITION! the corrupt elite has given us NO CHOICE.

  865. ts not only barr and the GOP who's ignoring the law and empowering trump its Pelosi, and other democrats like her and trump's entire cabinet and staff. when trump tells these people to break the law and ignore subpoenas they don't have to do as he says. for some strange and very dangerous reason these idiots are loyal to this gangster-doofus regardless of their sworn oaths to uphold the constitution and federal law. trump's election itself was illegal but the dems readily started calling this buffoon president on day one because to challenge the legitimacy of trump's claim to the office would require the dems to expose their own crimes. its like putin and the Russians gave trump dirt on all of them and trump's blackmailing them into submission. in order to bring trump to justice all of these people are going to have to expose crimes in their past they don't want exposed. nothing else explains all this unfounded loyalty and refusal to act as the law requires.

  868. i'm starting a campaign to force congress to investigate trump's probable investment in companies contracted to build that wall! email Pelosi, schumer, Bernie sanders, cortez, elizabeth warren and your own senators and house reps. and advise  others to do the same. if congress won't impeach that criminal buffoon WE WILL!

  869. actually, mueller exposed about 15 crimes committed by trump, your cult leader. yep. the reality is we have no functioning govt right now. and since trump wasn't legally elected we have no president right now either. and this idiot who wasn't legally elected is defying constitutional law and congressional subpoenas. and he's ignoring the separation of powers and making more unilateral decisions every day. he bypasses congressional authority and just signs executive orders, declares false emergencies and is basically getting away with doing whatever the hell he wants AND NO ONE IS STOPPING HIM! Pelosi belongs in prison right along side trump as long as she continues to let this maniac who stole the white house act like damned dictator! and now we have the summer congressional recess approaching where all this will be delayed even further and trump will act like even more of a dictator! the dems DON'T need Pelosi to impeach this criminal! so IMPEACH this SOB ALREADY!!

  871. i'm a TRUE independent and I was against BOTH h. Clinton and trump. against Clinton mainly because she was just another corporate democrat AND the last thing we needed was another damned Clinton in the Whitehouse. NO MORE FAMILY DYNASTIES IN POLITICS! (we had that crap with bush!) if she had been placed in the Whitehouse i'd be pursuing her REMOVAL right now (more than likely). but as despicable and corrupt Clinton was americans STILL chose her over trump which tells you just how despicable and corrupt trump REALLY IS! I've been watching the sleazeball trump for OVER 25 YEARS! and I've been anti-trump for 25 YEARS! all that time, time and again, trump has demonstrated WITHOUT DOUBT just how deplorable and disgusting a human being he is! i'm not going to relist all trump's negative attributes but I will say he has NO positive ones! trump was corrupt throughout his campaign, from day ONE, and he's continued this corruption unhindered while in the Whitehouse. AND HE STOLE THE ELECTION! trump belongs on the trash heap of history and if mcconnel and trump's other GOP sycophants refuse to put him there I SAY WE DAMNED WELL BETTER TAKE TO THE STREETS AND DEMAND IT!

  872. what's going on here is that the media is pushing the biden/democratic agenda and they, as usual, want to move on and don't want to address the crimes of the GOP. this is a 50 year trend of the dems - to NEVER pursue criminal charges for the crimes of the GOP. and over the last few decades there's been PLENTY! NOTICE! none of the "BIG" players in the failed insurrection have been arrested. NONE! the dems are gonna let the GOP get away with their crimes YET AGAIN! and with all these INSANE and CRIMINAL "new" voter laws being passed, over non-existent problems, the chances of the u. s. ever again having another LEGAL election are nearly ZERO! see? the voting process was corrupt NOT because of some major flaw in the system, but because they're candidates LOST! they lost the election so the process is, by default, corrupt.

  873. so many anericans, INCLUDING THE LEFT, equate wealth with freedom. they claim wealth can BUY freedom. that while the rest of us are slaves to the elite, the elite themselves ARE FREE! THIS IS A LIE! that comes from the left as well as the right. the reality is wealth doesn't buy freedom - it buys PRIVILEGE! there's a huge difference between the two. here's capitalism 101: capitalism produces slavery across class lines. the non-elite, the comlen, are enslaved by those who have money. the elite are enslaved by the money ITSELF! rich people will choose slavery to money and the class privilege it allows over slavery to other people ANYDAY! this is the perspective of the philosophy of equalism. i talked about this on my equalism channel MONTHS AGO! maybe if some of you watched some of you might actually learn something new.

  874.  @GnosisDharma  ... money isn't a tool. monetary systems are systems of social control and restriction. ever notice how there's ALWAYS enough money for the military, corporate bailouts, corporate subsidies, an ever growing police presence and anything else the elite desire. but when it comes to ending poverty, homelessness, providing a livable wage, medical care for everyone, infrastructure improvements and maintenance, courts, court access for the lower classes and anything that might be a benefit to society as a whole - THERE'S NEVER ENOUGH MONEY! monetary systems were created by the elite as an EXCUSE, a justification for the elite to say NO to everyone else. its used as a means to divide society and create an us-vs-them mentality among the people. we, THE PEOPLE are so busy fighting each other over the scraps the elite throw our way, we can't UNITE against our TRUE common enemy - the elite who oppress us ALL!

  875.  @darkdan3379  .... the philosophy of equalism. equalism recognizes the left and right AREN'T bitter enemies. we have much more in common than we have differences. the elite created this left-vs-right paradigm as a means for them to keep us divided so they maintain power. the elite exploit the divisions they, themselves, create so they maintain power over US ALL! all non-predators are invited to join the equalism movement, learn the truth so we, the people, may finally unite for the common good. check it out if you wish.

  878.  @GnosisDharma  ... i like you michelle. you remind me of... me! i don't think my comments are being "deleted." they're not being posted at all. and some are posted ALL mangled with much of the comment not there. i think youtube is screwing with us. their commercialization AND PROFITS have skyrocketed since trump outlawed net-neutrality. and net-neutrality is NEVER mentioned anymore. i wonder why?
    1
  879.  @GnosisDharma  ... one reason net neutrality is never mentioned is because with trump its a NEW crisis everyday. there isn't time to concentrate on what insanity's he's done because we must constantly readjust our attention to what he's doing. its called distraction and trump does this well. whenever he does or says something frightening, insane or ridiculous he does it again, on another issue, to distract from his previous insanity. he makes it impossible to keep up, or even catch our breaths. but you can tell net-neutrality is gone from the commercial inundation of the internet. commercials are EVERYWHERE now. even on web sites that previously played NO commercials. there's NO ESCAPING this incessant barrage of greedy pro-capitalist propaganda. you notice how many get-rich-quick schemes are advertised on youtube now? every other commercial i see is another lying scammer claiming HE, and only HE, can make me rich! youtube will allow ANY liar or thief to advertise on their channel as long as they can pay the advertising fees. and i just received a youtube notice stating they have the right to MONETIZE ANYTHING they damned well please. i'm sick of this crap. i, too, am ..."so sick of this world."

  882. so the impeachment inquiry is a long drawn out process that could take over 6 months or even years. the process gives the house increased authority to enforce subpoenas and obtain evidence. so the question is - why is pelosi protecting trump from this process? lastly, since trump was NEVER legally elected to begin with, its impossible to re-elect him. and since he stole the white house in 2016 and no one has interfered with this theft, what's to stop the elite from helping trump steal another election?
    1
  883. I think its quite obvious what's going on. trump is abusing his "authority" and becoming more of a despot everyday. he shut down the govt and issued two unwarranted and illegal national emergencies to circumvent congress. he's obstructed justice and held private meetings with a foreign head of state, he told 1000's of lies since he stole the white house, freely uses obscenity, resorts to bullying and name calling, shares altered videos of his opponents, he takes credit for other's successes and blames others for his failures, defies court orders and congressional subpoenas at will, profits financially from his public office and often displays dementia, lapses in memory and pathological megalomania. trump's turned the attorny general into his own personal henchman and has launched his own investigation without the authority to do so. trump's doing whatever the hell he wants do and not only is no one stopping him the GOP is empowering him and the dems are ignoring this insanity. all involved act like they're afraid of this twit. like putin handed trump some dirt on all of them and he's blackmailing them into submission. nothing else explains this absolutely unwarranted behavior, irrational loyalty and fear on both sides of the aisle.

  884.  @yurei8  I didn't know that about barr's son in law. thanks for the info. barr was as an ex-AG for bush sr. he paved the way to exempt Reagan and bush sr from prosecution for iran contra. barr already had plenty of cushy, high paying private sector jobs as a corporate lawyer and as an executive for GTE before it merged into Verizon. I don't think his motives are purely financial but ideological. he's a far right fascist through and through. he believes the office of the president should be superior to the other branches of govt and right wing holders of the office, like trump, should be given broad legal exemptions and political powers to enact elitist friendly, far right agendas. he supports "executive privilege" and the OLC rule "that a sitting president can't be indicted." while neither position is in the constitution or federal law. what he is is a republican attack dog and cover-up man. do you think its a mere coincidence he was placed as AG just 3 months BEFORE the mueller investigation ended. he was placed their to cover up trump's crimes and divert attention to other absurd issues. like "investigating the investigators." he's the corruption protector for the GOP!

  885. there's no taxation under socialism. there's nothing to tax. everyone is economically equal and financially stable and secure because there's no damned monetary system to corrupt everything. taxation is a capitalist process. its NEVER fair. its full of intentional loopholes. its NEVER consistent or stable and always prone to fluctuations. and that's because the oligarchs WRITE ALL THE LAWS! there are NO capitalist solutions for the problems caused by capitalism. (wow, i just a very strong bout of deja vu while writing that. uummm, cool.)

  890. doesn't anyone remember back when kim jong-un and trump were exchanging insults via twitter? that's trump's idea of diplomacy and foreign relations. then, suddenly, they both began to act as if they're best of friends. since the Spanish American war U. S. foreign policy has been based up "gunboat" diplomacy and supporting, so-called, murderous, anti-socialist, fascist regimes. and yes, not just trump but the GOP is based upon these same fascist principles of strong (and corrupt) centralized power. you know, authoritarianism. barr has stated emphatically that he believes in an authoritarian office of president. this is what executive orders, executive privilege and not indicted a sitting president is all about. this is what circumventing congress and defying congressional subpoenas at will is all about. the corporate elite want a fascist state to enforce their will and that's PRECISELY what we're allowing them to get!

  891. i embrace the truism that behind every great fortune is a great crime. the money musk gave trump wasn't a campaign contribution it was A BRIBE! and trump accepted that bribe. NO ONE MENTIONS THIS FACT! that $275 million was but a small fraction of musk's wealth. he'll make that money back in a week from interest alone. seeing all those scum billionaires at trump's illegal inaugeration was disgusting. i remember trump lying back in 2015 that he wouldn't accept donations. he was rich enough and didn't need other people's money to fund his campaign. the corruption and fascism of a new american gilded age has begun! btw - TRUMP ISN'T PRESIDENT!

  892.  @billycloudy9078  ... here's a couple of truisms to keep in mind - 1) behind every great fortune is a great crime - and 2) you ever hear of anyone getting rich from kindness? compassion? or the common good? capitalism is a system designed to allow the most dispicable, the most corrupt and least deserving among us to rise to the top of the economic ladder.

TRUMP? that weasle, that buffoon? that multi-business failure, rapist, whoremonger and crook. that tv-game-show joke has succeeded in making himself into A CULT that's willing to commit fraud, violence, murder and treason on his behalf. its unfathomable. it boggles the mind. just a few short years ago would've never thought any american could be so delusional, blind and stupid as to fall for such a scammer, such a life long and documented thief and conman. but there seems to be a lot of insanity, delusions and wishful thinking being accepted as "normal" going around these days. of late, the left and right BOTH suffer from delusional thinking and fascist mindsets. but the trump cult's got them ALL beat!

  898. yes, but its not likely. I don't think its ever been done. this is why impeaching trump is such a joke. even if he's impeached all the harm he's done remains intact. being that trump ISN'T actually president - he wasn't legally elected, we need to remove him by declaring the "election" invalid, illegal and unenforceable. which it is. then everything he's done can nullified.

  899. we DON'T need hate-crime or anti-lynching laws! we have TOO MANY laws as it is and the ones that protect our rights routinely go unenforced! what we need is the MANDATORY enforcement of the laws that protect us from murder, hate and assault and battery! we need to arrest, prosecute and imprison the cops and D. A.'s that break these laws or refuse to enforce them.

  900. I saw a piece on the news yesterday (can't remember what channel but it wasn't fox.) that actually criticized Pelosi and the dems for not impeaching. it blew my mind but it was well thought out and reasonable - just like ALL arguments favoring trump's impeachment. what astounds me is the amount of loyalty the GOP is offering trump along with the fear of impeachment from top dems. you must ask, what on earth is compelling such loyalty to such a low-life like trump? when trump tells these people to break the law and ignore subpoenas they don't have to do as he says. its like putin and the Russian and american oligarchs gave trump dirt on all of these people and trump's blackmailing them into submission. in order to bring trump to justice all of these people will have to expose crimes in their own pasts they don't want exposed. nothing else explains all this unfounded and undeserved loyalty and apathy towards trump and the continued refusal to act as the law requires. in other words something is VERY wrong here.

  901. i've only been saying "trump and the heritage foundation has declared war on americans" FOR OVER 6 MONTHS! woke continues to silence and ignore me. go figure. woke declared war on reality, science, womens rights, common sense, labor and the poor since the early 90s. then maga came along and said LOOK, we can do it better than you! and, following traitor trump's lead, they have. of course, its standard for the "right" to do it. they've been doing for over 100 years with the fascist "tea party," the moral majority and the kkk. but its a NEW TACTIC for the "left" to do it. for centuries the left have been the defenders of the truth, common sense, common decency and human rights. not anymore. all we have now is 2 fascist sides trying to out fascist each for TOTAL social domination. whichever side "wins" - WE ALL LOSE!

  902. yep.

  903. if you didn't see harris running for president 4 years ago you're blind as hell. of course, the news media is the "enemy of the people." i thought that was trump's schtick. the similarities between "maga" and "woke" are UNDENIABLE. yet neither side will admit or they just IGNORE this reality. delusion, intolerance, identity politics, situational ethics, double standards and hypocrisy are RAMPANT fueled by obsession with and addiction to all this INSANE corporate, police technology - THE INTERNET! we're being purposely divided by our rulers so THEY stay in power. we're being played people. we're being manipulated, herded into one fanatical exteme group or the other. moderation, common ground, common sense and common decency have been demonized to advance the fascism of our chosen group. all i can is - OPEN YOUR DAMNED EYES. its not being hidden from you. through willful ignorance you're just denying reality - AGAIN!

  908. a broken promise is called FRAUD! a verbal promise is a VERBAL CONTRACT! right now the u. s. inundated with govt and private sector fraud. throughout the country contracts mean nothing, verbal agreements mean nothing, THE law means nothing and THE CONSTITUTION MEANS NOTHING! we're living in a fascist police state where the truth, integrity and honesty MEAN NOTHING! we've been under a police-state for a couple of decades now. but trump and maga have made it EVEN WORSE! its rule by fraud and betrayol, and with trump's illegal avalanche of executive ordfers, its rule by execitive order. TRUMP IS DICTATOR! the u. s. no longer exists!

  909. the American civil war didn't end slavery. all it did was force the south to accept the north's form of industrial slavery and abandon its agrarian form of slavery. plantation slavery was replaced by wage and debt slavery and the slavery of govt dependence. I speak of this on my equalism channel. equalism not only identifies the problems as many others do, it also offers unique and innovative solutions to these problems. check it out if you ever want to actually end the perpetual cycle of madness in which humanity presently finds itself.

  910.  @ambulocetusnatans  … that sux for sure. sometimes even a corrupt union is better than no union. but like I said; when union leaders stop raking in million dollar salaries and unions lower dues you'd see a RE-birth in unionization across the country. we could even see renters' unions and consumer unions. all are extremely necessary in capitalist economies to maintain some semblance of democracy and justice. personally i'd prefer an economic system where unions weren't required at all. where human rights and human dignity were inherent in society and enforced by law. but at this point in time i'll take what I can get.

  911. --- ALERT!!!! TRUMP IS BRIBING the GOP AND COMMITTING JURY TAMPERING AS WE SPEAK! for over the last month - since the impeachment inquiry began - trump and Mulvaney and other trump cabinet members and staff have INITIATED GOP-only trips to camp david, lavish dinners and invitations to VIP sporting events ALL on the taxpayer dime with the intent of ingratiating GOP congressional members to trump, maintaining their loyalty and influencing them to vote AGAINST impeachment and removal! THIS IS PURE BRIBERY AND JURY TAMPERING! MY GOD!!!!!! HE'S USING OUR TAX DOLLARS TO BUY OFF HIS JURY! THIS IS JUST MORE IMPEACHABLE BEHAVIOR by this low-life who stole OUR Whitehouse! there's ABSILUTELY no crime trump is unwilling to commit to further his SELF INTERESTS!

  912. carbon taxes was an idea presented by the oil companies so they could just keep right in polluting and pass the cost of the tax on to the consumer. not only a HORRIBLE IDEA but a total scam! here's a better and more efficient idea. make drilling for, spilling and using gas and oil for fuel a crime and enforce the damned law. stop kowtowing to the elite and doing EVERYTHING they demand. then you globally share - without debt - all the solar, wind and other non-polluting technologies with all other nations AND REDUCE THE HUIMAN brainwashed demand for and dependence on electricity, industrialization and technology. it ain't difficult, it ain't hard - YOU JUST DO THE DAMNED THING!

  913.  Flightof2Owls  I think you missed the point of my comment. the soviets weren't socialist. they were elitist authoritarians. they practiced what was called "state capitalism." NO elitist society is socialist. elitism runs absolutely contrary to the very definition of socialism. but you're right. as long as we have an elitist, oligarchical system industrialization, GDP, GNP, profits, commercialism and materialism will ALWAYS take precedent over human rights and welfare.

  914. +frank... there's actually two forms of social order. that created through force and that created through cooperation and the mutual protection of individual rights. people seek authoritarianism because they think it will best secure their individual rights. and it might, but at the expense of the rights of others. they fail to take into account that be restricting the rights of others they're in fact restricting their own rights. so unbeknownst to them they are actually exchanging their freedoms for what they think is stability and security. they don't realize, because they've never been taught, that the best way to achieve stability and security, to protect their own interests and rights, is to protect the rights of others. when people feel less threatened they are LESS OF A THREAT! stability and security comes from universal freedom not universal subjugation!

  915.  @gtaylor2455  nope. socialism ends capitalist, kleptocracies. that's the whole point. but their efforts continue to be thwarted by the capitalist elite kleptocrats who use the state to enforce their will and maintain their privilege. capitalism is a fascist system. designed by the fascist elite to perpetuate their rule.

  916. the Nazi's didn't gain power through popular vote or support. they were NEVER a majority party. I think it was 1931 they gained their most seats in the Reichstag. they had the THIRD largest representation behind Hindenburg's party and the social democrats. by 1933, when Hindenburg appointed hitler chancellor the Nazi party seats had actually decreased to 4th or 5th. after Hindenburg's death a short time later the Nazi's seized power, burned down the Reichstag, illegalized all political parties but their own, rounded up all political opponents and placed them in concentration camps, halted all elections and ruled through the systematic use of terror and fear. so is it any wonder it would appear that their popularity grew AFTER all this?

  918. in don't think hartman was saying anything different than that. the GOP ISN'T winning the "quid pro quo" argument as the caller suggests. quite the contrary. more and more people are realizing that the GOP is lying right in goose-step with trump; their lord and criminal master. not only does quid pro quo keep being confirmed in all the testimony so far, it merely reinforces the charges against trump because quid pro quo ISN'T required for a crime to have been committed and a crime doesn't have to be committed to qualify for an impeachable offense.

  919. not only do poor blacks and whites have more in common than they're told but the middle class has more in common with the entire poor that what they're told.  the problem is the modern misconception of social class. the elite has driven into our brains the lie that there are 7 social classes; 1) the elite, 2) the lower upper class, 3) the upper middle class, 4) the middle class, 5) the lower middle class, 6), the poor, 7) the destitute - THIS IS A LIE designed to separate the lower classes and to make the middle class identify with the upper classes more than with the lower classes which they, in fact, have more in common with.                this creates the delusion of inherent class superiority. but the middle class are actually just one paycheck or one crisis away from being poor; they'll NEVER be rich but they're very likely to be poor at one time or another. yet, the middle class still identifies with and wishes to emulate the elite despite the fact that they'll NEVER BE a part of the elite. rap culture, with its elitist and greed oriented message, has exacerbated this delusion. rap has done more to corrupt and mislead youth and promote elitist greed than almost anything else.               the philosophy of equalism eesolves this elite created misconception of class. THE REALITY IS there's only TWO social classes - the elite and everyone else. and equalism calls everyone else - the comlen. the acceptance of this equalist perception of reality is intended to unite ALL the classes into the single block that they, in fact, are. only when the middle class sees itself as THE LOWER CLASS can the comlen actually unite in the goal of social equality and fix this mess the elite have made for us!

  922.  Gunsandrosalina Padtwo  … i'm glad to hear you denounce illegal immigration and such nonsense as "sanctuary cities" but i'm afraid the rest of the left don't agree with you. the left has become very much like the right. both sides denounce things while at the same time defending the principles of what they denounce. the right does this with fascism. they denounce the word while at the very same time supporting its principles. the left does this with illegal immigration. this very video is a perfect example. it defends illegals and denounces ICE who do nothing but enforce our immigration laws. "OH MY GAWD! illegals might be discovered and deported. WE MUST STOP THIS PRACTICE!" that's the position on the left and if they maintain that position don't be surprised to see trump in the white house, acting like a gangster doofus, another 4 years.

I say its damned time the American left hold mass rallies to end American poverty! to help American labor! to help the American elderly and disabled!

  939. this guy's just regurgitating the same old NRA dictated fascist arguments. law enforcement demonstrate more loyalty to the NRA and fascist ideology than they do to the rule of law. cops on a local, state and federal level enforce the laws as they choose anyway. and our politicians, through corporate corruption, have allowed our "law enforcement" to be taken over by a hard-core, extremist fascist element. the acceptance to fascist principles has become a litmus test to become a cop. its all a part of the required "character" profiling all cops are subjected to before even being allowed to be considered for a job as a cop.

  940. slavery never ended. it was just redefined so we would no longer use the word to describe our reality. we now use the word "employment" to refer to our slavery. there's wage slavery, debt slavery, prison slavery and there's slavery to poverty. there's sex slavery, child slavery, spousal slavery and slavery of immigrants. there's slavery to greed, power and corruption. there's slavery all over the goddamned place. the redefinition and misuse of words is a common ploy among fascists. they've denounced the word "slavery" but still embrace its principles and practices under different names. just like many fascists now denounce the WORD fascism but still promote and support its practice and principles. for the last 25 years the fascists have used the internet to firehose the lie that hitler's Nazi's and Mussolini's fascists were socialists! FASCISTS LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING! they hide the truth behind their true intentions. they purposely hide their true goals because they know if they were to admit to them, the VAST majority of humanity would be appalled and reject them outright. trump IS the perfect example of this perpetual dishonesty. and his cult have followed the lead of their insane leader. and trump's GOP sycophants have been lying for decades and decades now. so, was it any wonder they so eagerly embraced trump!

S. is truly run by a capitalist, criminal oligarchy with no integrity, sense of decency or concept of empathy. and, as a result, we now have trump, the poster boy of elitist greed, corruption and incompetence, who stole the presidency, now making illegal and destructive decisions concerning our country and the entire world! isn't capitalism great? don't you just love how fascism works?

S. is in DIRE need of a constitutional makeover. but don't expect any substantial improvements in the system as long as the Dems, the GOP, the corporations and the elite maintain their absolute monopoly over our economy and political process. there's only one solution - REVOLITION! the corrupt elite has given us NO CHOICE.

  943. sorry, but trump's CONTINUAL denial of the 2020 election results has nothing to do with trump's lack of courage and more to do with trump's lack of ethics and integrity. trump knew in 2016 he was going to claim voter fraud in 2020. hell, he claimed it in 2016 and he (supposedly) won! this has been nothing but trump's election strategy ALL ALONG! remember, trump claims EVERYONE but him is corrupt. he not only knows this isn't true but he knows HE'S the one that's more corrupt than anyone else. this too is just an election strategy. trump's no genius but he knows how to lie and manipulate people. and claiming everything and everyone is corrupt BUT HIM is just another way he manipulates. the problem is the people he's manipulating has wanted someone to claim the system is corrupt for decades! he's manipulating them by telling them what they want to hear and exploiting their paranoia and gullibility. is the system corrupt? hell yes. that's how trump stole the whitehouse in the first place. but trump has taken advantage of this corruption he isn't THE protector from the corruption. and his cult are too brainwashed and mesmerized to know the difference.

  945. carter was our last president who had any empathy, sincerity or integrity at all! it wasn't so much a "reagan revolution" but a "reagan reaction." and the dems fell right in line. the rich and powerful have always FEARED the masses. this is why in the original constiutuion senators were appointed by state legislatures and the electoral college was created. to keep power out of the hands of the lower classes. since reagan stole the 1980 election the middle class has been dwindled down nearly to its pre-ww2 levels from its unprecedented height in 60s and 70s. the dems have had over 40 years to correct this downward trend but have done nothing substantial to change its trajectory, clinton even HELPED this downward trend by reversing the "glass-steagall act." obama's DACA was just another hand out to the insurance industry and biden's "chips act" just a hand out to the giant tech corpotations. one thing i know from first hand experience, over the last 40 years my life has become a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! i'm so much worse off than my parents. the country is deterioting at an incredible rate. and its the fault of BOTH PARTIES!

  947. +JoAnne... like I said, I guess it depends on how to define decent. the English, Dutch, Austrians, Swiss and Scandinavians are all Germanic peoples. but if you're referring only to people from germany just when are these people supposed to have come here? many germans came just prior to ww2. but most of these were jews. are you counting the jewish germans as jews or german? many germans came after ww2 but in neither case was it enough of a migration to give them 35% of our population. you can believe as you wish but unless you're including ALL Germanic peoples, as listed above, germans do NOT make up 35% of the American population. that would mean there are more germans here than in germany. now I know there are more irish in the U.S than in Ireland but that statistic doesn't apply to germans.
    1
  948. +joanne… who's talking about theories? I was just wondering when all these 100 million germans were supposed to have come here. you answered my question. but your answer doesn't account for the claim you and, apparently, the census bureau are making. the English, Scotts, the Spanish and French were coming here centuries before that and in greater numbers. i'm just one of those people who refuse to accept illogic regardless of who's trying to get me to accept it. there aren't more germans in the U.S. than in germany. and, unless the census bureau uses some bizarre method of determining decent, germans are not the largest ethic group the U.S.

I don't choose to buy auto or medical insurance. the insurance industry spent millions lobbying congress to pass laws REQUIRING participation in their industries. I don't spend money on food voluntarily. nature dictates my survival depends on food and the retail food industry has creating an extortionist system where if I don't pay them I don't eat! what you call "voluntary" is an illusion; A LIE! capitalism employs psychology trickery and manipulation through advertising and public relations to induce us to buy things we don't need at prices we can't afford. Edward Bernays turned this scam into a marketing science that is used, today, by corporations, govts and organizations the world over. you, my friend, have been bamboozled, conned and played. but don't fret. there's millions of other gullibles who've fallen for the same lie.

  957. it'll be challenged by the ACLU, and probably others. it will, eventually, be deemed unconstitutional. the GOP knew it wouldn't be upheld in court BEFORE they ever voted on it. they didn't care. they wanted the media coverage. it was a political stunt to make a point and to inform their fascists followers they're doing all they can to promote fascism in their state. in other words, it was an political ploy on which to run their florida campaigns next election. and people say this dangerous clown fascist Ron DeSantis is trump's successor. i'd say, yep, that sounds about right. yes, DeSantis is every bit as fascist and crazy as trump is.

THE POLICE STATE IS HERE! and it began long before bush jr was appointed to the white house. the only differences between 1930's germany and America today was the amount of time its taken for the elitist take over and the technology available to enforce the take over. the fascist take over of the U.S. involves both major parties and was a slow, meticulous and deliberate process that began even before, but really took off, during the nixon era. and its been the digitization technology, which was first mass commercialized through video games, home computers, the internet and cellphones that have enforced and solidified it.  they've been selling us our slavery, dependence and addiction to police state technology. and much of the world has been stupid enough to buy it!

  965. yep, FDR was right. then he goes and runs for and accepts the presidency 4 TIMES making himself a prime example of the criticisms he was making. FDR allowed himself to become president for life which, itself, is another form of fascism. the abuse of political power is no less dangerous than the abuse of economic power. "can we stop corporate power before it takes away democracy for good?' we most certainly can. in fact I founded a new philosophy called equalism which has that as its primary goal. it'll take TRUE dedication to the cause. it'll take LIFE-LONG commitments. we MUST STOP allowing the elite from herding us, manipulating us and dividing us. we MUST STOP living our lives as our oppressors tell us to and start living our lives as we know we should. equalism is the philosophy of UNITY! and its the ONLY philosophy that offers real-world solutions. WE CAN BE FREE - but first YOU ALL must take the first steps! all we need do is learn about equalism, WAKE UP, join the equalism movement, WAKE UP OTHERS, initiate this "revolution of thought" and it WILL BE DONE!

  966. actually, in the audio where trump addresses the U.N. staff, he says those who leaked the info to the whistleblower committed treason. he was instructing his staff to EXPOSE whistleblowing leakers. the whistleblower was told it's a common occurrence to falsely "classifying" as SECRET trump's conversations (phone and in-person) with almost EVERY ONE. its routine for trump to hold secret meetings with all kinds of people and in all kinds of way. one way; they simply don't list the meeting on trump's itinerary. another way; no notes or record of the meeting is kept. a few years ago he held a "secret" meeting with putin where only interpreters were present that WE ALL knew about. this, in itself, was an IMPEACHABLE offense; a CRIME! yet NO ONE did anything about it! trump is a CRIMINAL! SECRECY is what criminals do!

  967. poverty and homelessness are at crisis levels throughout the U. S. and our numbers have been steadily rising since the Reagan era and because of Reagan's implementation of neo-liberal economics. but the media refuse to report on it and the govt redefines economic terms to hide the true numbers. right now, nearly HALF of ALL americans qualify for some type of govt aid. they may not apply for it or receive it but they qualify for it. and this is happening as the people needing these funds receive less aid per person, funds for govt programs decrease or are privatized, the qualifications for aid become more strict and the govt definitions of poverty and homelessness have become more corrupted to hide the true numbers. hyper inflation lead by skyrocketing property values coupled with the increase in poverty level wages are the main culprits. the RICH are absconding with the ENTIRE American economy that WE ALL contribute to. both democrats and republicans have contributed to this crisis. both parties continue to cave to BIG MONEY INTERESTS and allow the elite to write the laws. you want to end this downward spiral? be prepared to REVOLT and dedicate your lives to the cause. because it ain't gonna stop otherwise. watch my equalism channel to learn more!

  968. yes, trump should've been arrested the day AFTER biden took office. or the day AFTER the jan-6 committee released its findings. to wait 2 years until after trump regained his miserable footing and announced another presidential bid was irresponsible and EVEN CORRUPT! btw, TRUMP ISN'T PRESIDENT! as long as we keep calling that traitor and felon "president" the more we validate his COUP! TRUMP ISN'T PRESIDENT - never has been. never will be.

  970. its aggravating when I go back to posted comment and see one small mistake in the type that can lead to a misunderstanding of the entire comment. (i just changed a "was" to a "wasn't.") but you got it right. doesn't it make you mad when after 2 INSANE years this idiot is still occupying the white house? the Russian involvement is just a small issue compared to all the other crimes committed to appoint this lunatic president. (for one thing the American elite influence and corrupt elections all over the world) so why don't they concentrate on the REAL crimes committed? I know why? do you?

  971. mass psychosis is indeed real. what do you think advertising is all about? bernay's used the fundemental principles of mass psychological manipulatiuon to teach fascists how to steal from people and convince them that lies and misinformation are true. its where the concept of "firehosing" was first identified (but not first used.) just repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it. THAT'S FIREHOSING and that's advertising! what you hide, what you don't say, is just as important as what you do say. the reality is, the psychological industry is just as responsible for this mass psychosis as any other group. they taught the fascists how to create a "1984" by firehosing newspeak, the misdefining of words to corrupt perceptions of reality.

  972. i embrace the truism that behind every great fortune is a great crime. the money musk gave trump wasn't a campaign contribution it was A BRIBE! and trump accepted that bribe. NO ONE MENTIONS THIS FACT! that $275 million was but a small fraction of musk's wealth. he'll make that money back in a week from interest alone. seeing all those scum billionaires at trump's illegal inaugeration was disgusting. i remember trump lying back in 2015 that he wouldn't accept donations. he was rich enough and didn't need other people's money to fund his campaign. the corruption and fascism of a new american gilded age has begun! btw - TRUMP ISN'T PRESIDENT!

  973. no, you support gay rights and women's rights not the privilege the left is offering the gender-dysphorics. you support American labor and end American poverty - you don't support illegal immigration. you support sane, non-predatory foreign policy. its the issues on the mentally ill gender-dysphotics and the immigration invasion that turns people away from the otherwise desirable economic goals of the left. you also support SMALLER govt and the end of the corpratocracy not by cutting human rights programs for the lower classes but by eliminate social welfare for the elite. watch my video -""equalism 122: This equalist Platform will get anyone elected!" at the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqCbqxLP03o - and find out how defeat the insanity that has monopolized American politics for the last 200 years.

  974. the dems BLEW their chance to rid the country of trump's incompetence and corruption when they REFUSED to arrest and prosecute him when he was at his weakest - just after his failed coup on jan-6-21. their waiting 2 years for trump to regain his footing through lies and deciept to ENFORCE THE LAW against trump royally screwed this country and its future. now trump's 3nd coup has been successful and NO ONE WILL STOP HIM because he's dismantling all the govt laws that protect us from gangsters like trump. he's tearing down ALL BARRIERS between him and the crimes he wants to commit. AND ITS WORKING and no one is stopping him! the dems, the courts, the lawyers and ALL our "democratic institutions" not only betrayed us, they betrayed THEMSELVES!

  975. carter was the best president of the last century and even he was an oligarch who's elections were funded by the rich. the difference between the rich on right and left is that those on the left talk the talk but fail walk the walk when they're elected. in others; the elite on the right are less hypocritical than on the left. this doesn't make them any better just a little different. but the oligarchs on the left DO interfere with the plans of the right as they chip away at constitutional protections and the new deal but they're being chipped away none the less. it all boils down to the reality that the elite on the left and right have corrupted American politics and the ONLY solution is too end elitism and the only way to do this is through equalism.
    1
  976. equalism is the anti-ism ism. so, If anyone is looking for something truly original and different check out my equalism lecture series, in sequence beginning with equalism 101, on my channel. you can check out my latest series of videos: equalism 118a: Wisdoms and Lessons of History (part 1) at this link - https://youtu.be/oAUs81z6sOc - ALL non-predators are welcome. equalism exposes the leadership of both sides as fascist and corrupt. you never know, you all just may be equalists and not yet know it.

  977. minimum wage does contribute to inflation. but its not the only factor. universal basic income and minimum wage both face the same problems. they're both in a constant state of "catch up" with inflation. every time wages increase the elite raise prices to counter it. and they counter it to maintain - even increase - they're profit margins. so, although ideas like MW or UBI may help, they're not the solution to anything because they're in a perpetual need of adjustment. and, when an adjustment is proposed, by the time the proposal is passed it always falls short of what's needed. this type of legislation is designed to be a minute late and a dollar short. this is a capitalist solution and there are NO capitalist solutions to capitalist problems. in fact MW and UBI are the capitalists dream because they give them the excuse to raise prices, fuel inflation and increase profits even further.
    1
  978. well, lets get it straight. there's nothing in the constitution that declares the U.S as a capitalist country but we are indeed, most definitely, a capitalist country. Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury, made sure of that. ALL capitalist countries perpetuate an elitist ruling class and use the govt to enforce the will of the elite. to compare the U.S. military to a socialist entity is incorrect. the military is little different than any other employer. they screw their employees while the employers prosper. that's capitalism; any system that sustains an elitist oligarchy is capitalist. if that's not America I don't know what is.

  979. trump isn't president yet he's been allowed to select 2 supreme court justices in less than 17 months! kinda makes you think maybe trump's appointment to the white house was planned all along. OH WAIT! it was! either the elite fixed it for trump to be allowed to pretend to be president before he announced his so-called campaign, or it was decided after. but its obvious as hell that the elite chose the trumpster to be placed into the white house LONG BEFORE the primaries and the election! by the way; since trump isn't the legal president ALL the actions he takes, including all court appointees, are illegal, non-binding and invalid!

  980. the question is - who keeps giving trump's family this enormous and unprecedented air time? never in the history of this country has a politician's family been so visible in the media and allowed to represent the "administration" or govt in an OFFICIAL capacity. why hasn't anyone ever condemned this insane anomaly. why isn't trump impeached yet? why is this criminal buffoon and his criminal buffoon family still being allowed to prance around like they OWN THIS COUNTRY?
    1
  981. this is america. these high-level fascists won't be punished. trump won't ever be punished. the GOP won't ever be punished. only low level, on-site, minions who were fool enough to do as the gop and trump encouraged them to do, will face any punishment whatsoever. and even they won't face any serious repercussions. 99% of them will be offered plea deals, time served or a few years probation. and the militias will just go on as before and probably gain membership from the national exposure. i'll bet you ten year sentences will be rare and those will only serve 3 years or less. the system is corrupt. the dems are already backing away from their campaign promises. they're already backing down to the GOP - again! just like after watergate. MORE THAN HALF of the GOP, right now, supports the attacks on 1-6-21 and right-wing media and q-anon are still spreading their lies. will they EVER face justice? don't bet on it.
    1
  982. it wasn't so much a "reagan revolution" but a "reagan reaction." and the dems fell right in line. the rich and powerful have always FEARED the masses. this is why in the original constiutuion senators were appointed by state legislatures and the electoral college was created. to keep power out of the hands of the lower classes. since reagan stole the 1980 election the middle class has been dwindled down nearly to its pre-ww2 levels from its unprecedented height in 60s and 70s. the dems have had over 40 years to correct this downward trend but have done nothing substantial to change its trajectory, clinton even HELPED this downward trend by reversing the "glass-steagall act." obama's DACA was just another hand out to the insurance industry and biden's "chips act" just a hand out to the giant tech corpotations. one thing i know from first hand experience, over the last 40 years my life has become a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! i'm so much worse off than my parents. the country is deterioting at an incredible rate. and its the fault of BOTH PARTIES!

  983. they also like murdering animals in the wild with these "sport" weapons but its not very sporting to sneak up on an unsuspecting animal and blow its head off. these gun worshippers continually claim they need their gins for protection against govt tyranny but they actually support and defend the business and elitist tyranny that enslaves us all! and i've yet to see any of them use their weapons against our fascist govt. uuummm, I guess fascists don't want protection from other fascists.

  984. our health system is SO DAMNED screwed up here in the U.

I've been screaming my head off for OVER 10 years, including right here on youtube, AND NOBODY CARES!

  985. the U. S. ceased being a democracy at its inception. but, yes, things have gotten incrementally, much worse since the 1910's, first with Wilson signing the Fed into law and Coolidge and Hoover promoting elitist rule, followed by the cult of FDR and the crimes of Nixon. then the Reagan cult hit us and ever since we've been rolling downhill at ever increasing speeds towards unfettered fascism, police state corporatism and elitist oligarchy! accentuated by Clinton's repeal of Glass-Steagall, Bush's signing of the Patriot Act and creating Homeland Security, Obama's increases in the military budget and intensifying perpetual war culminating in the placement of trump and his cult into the white house, the media and congress. trump's obvious conflict of interest, his cabinet made up of wall-street's worst, his executive orders, increased militarization and massive tax cuts for himself and his buddies the U.S. STINKS to high heaven. its become a paradise of corruption! WE NEED A REVOLUTION and we needed it yesterday!

  986. NO! i sure wish these people would read their comments so they could learn something. socialist "authoritarianism" IS IMPOSSIBLE! the words are diametrically OPPPOSED to one another. THE major definition of socialism is ANTI-authoritarian. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT! in other words - socialist-authoritarianism isn't socialism at all - ITS FASCISM! which means the soviet union and china WEREN'T socialist. they weren't communist. they WERE FASCIST! here's how it works; if you talk like a fascist, walk like one and act like one, THEN YOU"RE A FASCIST regardless of what you call yourself or of what "historians" want to call you. my god, its the easiest thing to figure out IN THE WORLD! when the hell am i going to be allowed a VOICE on these channels so i can SPREAD THE TRUTH and straighten this crap out! no one else is doing it. and they won't let me do it EITHER!

  987.  @knighthawk3749  ... no, i'm not confusing anything. the ussr was fascist through and through. DICTATORSHIPS and socialism DON'T MIX - PERIOD! and that's the reality. and its time to set the record straight.

  988.  @knighthawk3749  ... oh, you just said the magic word - "undermined." if something is undermined then its been corrupted. corrupted socialism ISN'T socialism BUT fascism! i don't know why this is so difficult to understand. its THE ELITE who lie about socialism being authoritarian because they want us to FEAR what will free us from THEM! so they lie about and demonize socialism to make us FEAR IT! its just that simple. no need to complicate and convolute it.

  989.  @knighthawk3749  ... like i said... i don't know why its so hard to understand.

  990. ... everything i'm saying is a reflection of the philosophy of equalism. equalism says - democracy is political socialism and socialism is economic democracy. the one CAN'T exist without the other. fascism is political capitalism and capitalism is economic fascism. one can't exist without the other. ITS JUST THAT SIMPLE! if socialism was truly authoritarianism there'd be NO REASON for it to exist. WE ALREADY HAVE authoritarianism. so STOP, THINK and you'll understand what i'm saying is true. stop believing the lies of your oppressors!

NO, that's wrong. socialism was CREATED as the antithesis of authoritarianism. it is the solution to authoritarianism - its OPPOSITE! so any authoritarian regime that claims to be socialist - IS LYING! they're just your average, 2-bit gangster fascists misrepresenting themselves for PUBLIC RELATIONS purposes. read my other posts on this thread to learn more. then watch my channel. its dedicated to the philosophy of equalism and explains even further this reality i just exposed.

  993. the u. s. oligarchs and industrialists have been trying to normalize and promote fascism, in earnest, since the end of ww2 and the mccarthy hearings when liberalism was publicly and vigorously attacked as anti-american and, maliciously, associated with stalin. the fascists lost ww2 but took over the u. s. govt. you can even go back further to eugene debs and the great socialist movement prior to ww1. the u. s. has ALWAYS been a "left" leaning nation ruled by fascists. trump is just the latest example of this. the GOP loves fasct groups because they're great little recruiters to the fascist cause. militias are the GOP's "brownshirts" they're used to intimidated and threaten the opposition and to indoctrinate gullible malcontents and spread lies and conspiracy paranoia to further the fascist cause.

  1000. dream on. you're confusing technological, medical and scientific advancements with capitalism. they have nothing to do with each other. thanks to capitalism poverty is still rampant and the middle class only exists under crippling debt. and unions, not capitalism, created the middle class in the first place. capitalism, materialism, commercialism and GREED - you know, capitalism - has corrupted and enslaved the world.

  1001. Mussolini didn't found fascism. he merely gave it a name. fascism is what's ruled humanity over the last 6000 years. fascism is ANY society with an elitist hierarchy. ALL oligarchies, plutocracies and authoritarian and police states are fascist by definition. we have those on the left who don't know what socialism is. we have those on the right who don't know what fascism is. we have those on both sides who don't know what either is. and the uneducated are extremely susceptible to lies and deceit. over the last 20 years the fascists have fire-hosed lies about hitler and fascism being synonymous with socialism. I, now, hear this absurdity about 5 times a day on youtube alone. the fascists are fire-hosing a RE--branding of themselves. by denouncing the word "fascism" and labeling their opposition with the word, they hide they're true intent and principles. they denounce the WORD "fascism" while maintaining its principles and promoting its goals. the fascists are misrepresenting themselves EN MASS and people are falling for it! lying to gain political advantage and power is what fascists do best! THIS IS SERIOUS PEOPLE! fascists are rewriting history and altering reality. they are completely amoral, opportunistic and lacking in ethics and integrity. they believe in seizing power through ANY MEANS! - dirty tricks, underhanded tactics, fraud and force. AND ITS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!

  1002. what's sad is that people don't know what democracy really is. it has nothing to do with mob, or majority rule or voting. it has to do with the protection and enforcement of equal rights, of human rights and human dignity. as long as this is the intent and practice of society then you have democracy. you can have voting in a capitalist, fascist state. it doesn't make it a democracy. voting for your next oppressor isn't democracy. democracy is political and social equality. socialism is economic equality. you can't have democracy without socialism and vice versa. this is the reality.

  1005. ACA is a perfect example of letting the GOP corrupt and destroy a dem campaign promise. ACA simply forces every citizen to pay their tribute to the insurance companies. if you refuse to pay - THEY'LL take your money anyway in the form of a fine. ACA is the failure achieved from the dems complete and unquestioned readiness to meet GOP demands when the dems have power. its like they expect the GOP to submit to dem demands when the GOP has power. BUT THEY NEVER DO! when the GOP has power they do want they want. when the dems are in power they do what the GOP wants. sounds kinda suspicious to me. if the right and the GOP won't lead america into fascism the left and the dems will.

  1006. china IS NOT a socialist society. not by any stretch of the imagination. and neither were the soviets. socialism DOES NOT result in a privileged, elitist ruling class. it doesn't result authoritarianism or dictatorships of any kind. there's no such thing as "authoritarian" socialism. the left-elite keep calling fascism socialism and the right-elite keep calling socialism fascism. THEY'RE ALL WRONG! yet the followers of these elite keep believing the lies of their own, respective elite. ALL socialism is democratic. socialism is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism. the one CANNOT exist without the other. likewise, fascism is political capitalism and capitalism is economic fascism. the one can't exist without the other. sadly, the leaders on the left haven't figured this out yet.

  1007. @Violett Fem ... uuuhhhh, we DON'T have socialism in this country, my friend. what you see failing around you is called capitalism. the dems aren't socialist. they're neo-liberal capitalists. just like the GOP are. the difference between the two is the GOP are laissez-faire capitalists while the dems believe the rich can stay rich but we can still protect labor rights, help the poor, a little, and make life a little better for everyone not just make life a LOT better for the rich. which is the result of laissez-faire capitalism. in other words, as general rule, the GOP embraces social darwinism. where the rich get to rule on the simple account that they're rich. being rich indicates one's superiority over the rest of humanity. and this gives them the "right" to rule. and the dems don't embrace social darwinsim. i'm no democrat but between the two, the dems are a hell of a lot better than the GOP.

  1008.  @jamesmedina2062  ... corporatism is "globalism." (not to be confused with "internationalism.") corporations respect NO national bounderies and owe loyalty to NO SINGLE country. they only respect and worship capitalism and the ABSOLUTE pursuit of wealth and power. "give me control of a nation's economy and i care not who makes the laws." that's how capitalists think. and that's their intent - a global corporate state ruled by the wealthiest and most corrupt humans on eath. trump was a part of this scheme. and so was reagan. since reagan elitist wealth has increased some 500%. while wages have actually decreased in real value. and trump's tax cuts and his other policies have continued that trend. THAT'S CAPITALISM. and that's how its supposed work.

  1009.  @HelsinkiFINketeli_berlin_com  ... it must remembered that the soviets weren't socialists they were fascists. (poverty was rampant in the USSR just as it is here in the u. s. the soviet elite exploited their labor just we do here.) and changing definitions is something fascists do alot. in the u. s. BOTH sides are doing it. bush jr and the GOP redefined "hunger" as "food challenged" and the dems are trying to redefine "gender" as a choice rather than a biological fact. corporate america redines things en mass. they redfine their products. for instance, its now legal to claim a product that possesses just a fraction of what's being sold as a 100%. 100% beef can now be just 80% beef. furthermore our food hasn't been naturally grown for decades. we're eating Genetically Modified foods without our consent OR KNOWLEDGE! also, in economics, a company now must have OVER 10% profits before declaring any profits at all. they've redifined democracy and labor rights as evil. they've redifined consumer protections as corrupt. they've declared access to education and medical care WITHOUT massive debt as unamerican. the elite redefine our slavery to the corporations as freedom. redefining reality to meet their prejudicial requirments is now an acceptable means to achieve your political and economic goals. orwell called it double-speak. bernay's made it an essential part of advertising and corporate propaganda. and its NOW part of our daily lives. its a fascist's dream. how can people who don't speak the same language and don't agree on definitions of words EVER UNITE against their corporate masters? ANSWER - THEY CAN'T! and that's what our fascist elitist masters really want.

  1010. i think the rest of the world is in shock that trump could unleash such ENORMOUS corruption, chaos, turmoil and DEATH onto our country and no one is stopping him. yep, thanks to trump our country has become a reality tv show. and that's a very dangerous thing indeed. because "reality tv" is a FRAUD! and so is trump. i've been watching the trump INSANITY SHOW for over 40 years. and the plot hasn't changed one iota. its STILL all about trump's shameless greed and self promotion, him begging for attention and screaming - "LOOK AT ME! its all about me! ME! ME! ME! i'm special, i'm superior, i'm INFALLIBLE! LOOK AT ME! i lie, i rape, i steal, i don't pay taxes and i run business after business into bankruptcy - and i've gotten away with it for DECADES! I'M PERFECTION INCARNATE!" trump is SICKER THAN SHIT and he needs to be FORCIBLY removed from OUR whitehouse RIGHT NOW to prevent him from doing any more catastrophic damage to our country! ARREST THE TRAITOR ALREADY! isn't 210,000 dead americans enough? I SAY YES!

  1012. 100% of our tax dollars go to the rich. on occasion some among the lower classes may recieve a benefit too, but the elite ALWAYS profit from every govt program. daca forces us to pay insurance companies for medical care when those same companies drive up medical costs. we're forced to pay the price increases created by the inflation the rich cause. food stamps and medicare are simply subsidies for the rich. the govt merely pays the extrortion demanded by the ruling elite on behalf of those who can't afford to pay the extortion. our tax dollars go towards allowing the elite to pay lowr taxes than us. or they pay no taxes at all and they often get REFUNDS on taxes THEY DON'T PAY! the elite get tax payer money for subsidies, contracts and bailouts although their reckless policies and greed caused the problems in the first place. people continue to suffer at the hands of the ruling elite and those victims are CONSTANTLY required to make their abusers richer. its called capitalism. we're a nation of fools ruled by gangsters.

  1013. trump is a dictator. he's not trying to be or leaning in that direction - TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! history has shown that once fascism takes hold of a society its IMPOSSIBLE to remove it peaceably. this is the fault of the fascists themselves. THEY WON'T surrender power voluntarily. they must be FORCED OUT OF POWER. of course if law enforcement, the courts and military didn't sell out democracy removing fascists from power wouldn't be that difficult. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP FASCISM WITHOUT FORCE is by not letting it take over in the first place. our american democratic institutions have already failed us in this respect. this is why fascists ALWAYS take over the police and the military first... then the courts... then the news media. then anti-fascist citizens begin to disappear in the middle of the night and then right out in public! you wanna stop fascism? it takes a life-long, personal, committment. you must dedicate your life to it. sadly, the "left" in the u. s. today is almost as fascist as the "right." "maga" and "woke" are BOTH fascist. but trump's the deciding factor here. TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! and he must be removed and imprisoned by any means necassary.

  1014. unfortunately, because the U. S. education system is so backward and inefficient, i must say this again, the soviets and Chinese were NEVER socialist or communist. it has NOTHING to do with the name of any goddamned political party. in the U. S. do the republicans practice or promote republicanism or the democrats democracy? socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it, actually have a definition. by definition they completely reject and denounce social hierarchies, privilege and monetary systems. so mr. smith, like so many other confused and brainwashed people, are either purposely misapplying socialism in order to demonize it or they're demonizing it through pure stupidity or gullibility. we have way too many people on the right and left who have no idea what socialism, capitalism, democracy and fascism really are. and this is what's truly scary.

  1015. the U. S. is, RIGHT NOW, a police state. yet because it immerged slowly, being sold incrementally to the young of each, next, generation, the youth accepted it, blindly, thinking it was normal and even desirable technological "progress" so many of the youth of today are so conditioned since birth they don't even recognize their slavery to the elite!. they see it as the natural order of things. I dedicate my ENTIRE channel to this complacent apathy. but I offer solutions. its called equalism.

WE MUST DEMAND TRUMP'S REMOVAL FROM OUYR WHITEHOUSE! and accept NOTHING less. lastly, i'm VERY curious to see the trump cult's response to trump's removal. hell, i'm curious to see trump's response. PLEASE AMERICA - satisfy my curiosity and lets REMOVE this buffoon, this criminal AND his un-American influence from the Whitehouse!

  1019. the so-called U. S. govt is illegally protecting a criminal, a traitor, and they're being paid with YOUR tax dollars to do so! trump is a blubbering fool. and that's the best you can say about him. he's broken 100's of laws, violated the constitution at will and killed over 100,000 people and he will NEVER see the inside of a prison cell. and his gang of militarized THUGS won't either! ISN'T AMERICA GREAT?!

  1020. @Mike Ellis ... no thanks. i've done that for over 4 years now. you'll just deny reality like the rest of the trump cult. furthermore, you know damned good and well trump's crimes. so i won't be playing your silly, childish game of delusion and denial.

  1021. i'm on FULL MEDICARE and i'm being denied inpatient surgery that could save my sight. i'm also denied inpatient MRIs and tooth extrtactions all covered by medi-medi. the system is fraught with corruption. people who need medical care are being denied while those who don't need medical care are being told they have diseases they don't have. THANKS DACA! thanks privatization of medicare. thanks capitalism. capitalism corrupts EVERYTHING!

  1022. as low as the elite have corrupted BOTH parties (and the nation) you have to admit trump being allowed to steal the presidency and pretend to be president is as low as it gets. this PRECISELY the gutter level that has lead to the fall of the roman empire and the French and Russian monarchies. what on earth are WE waiting for? REVOLUTION isn't only our right its our OBLIGATION!

  1023. the caller is denying the MAJOR influence that rap "culture, its racism, gangsterism and profiteering culture, has contributed to and profited from the gun-worship culture. when is the "left" going to start admitting the reality of rap-HATE-and-violence culture? its this ongoing denial of reality and the embracing of preferential treatment of black (and gay) fascism that made me leave the left. i'm not a big fan of hypocrisy and turning a blind eye to things that might interfere with political agendas. i reject the fascism and hypocrisy coming from BOTH SIDES! you're ALL nutz!

  1024. this has been a tactic of conservatives for decades now; someone exposes your racism you accuse them of racism, when they expose your fascism you accuse them of being the fascists. this is a common school yard bully tactic. trump has only intensified this tactic. and this "social media" is the result of technology. this mass-media reinforcement of one's prejudices, on both the right and left, is brought to you by you friendly, neighborhood corporate internet provider and their social-media who's main intent ISN'T to inform, but to victimize you and herd you and DIVIDE society so the elite stay in power. welcome to the police-state!

Pelosi belongs in prison right along side trump as long as she continues to let this maniac who stole the white house act like damned dictator! and now we have the summer congressional recess approaching where all this will be delayed even further and trump will act like even more of a dictator! the dems DON'T need Pelosi to impeach this criminal! so IMPEACH this SOB ALREADY!!

  1028. its the GOP who made adding justices to the supreme court necessary. if mcconnel and the rest of the GOP didn't commit hypocrisy, situational ethics and fraud to deny obama his legal choices for the federal bench and then allow trump additional nominees during his illegal presidency then we wouldn't be in the god awful mess we're in. mcconnell said it himself - he was turning the senate into a MACHINE for churning out "conservative" judges to the federal bench. he refused to bring 100's of bills to a senate vote just to make the time to achieve this goal. of course it was illegal. BUT, LIKE TRUMP, NO ONE STOPPED HIS FRAUD. why are politicians, and the rich that they work for, NEVER held to account for their crimes?

  1030. i credit hartman with being, not the first, but the ONLY person to teach me about the "2 santa claus theory" first proposed Jude Wanniski in 1976. thanks thom! its clear as day that this a strategy used by the GOP since Reagan. the GOP is perpetrating a FRAUD on the American people. and the dems NEVER talk about it! this needs to be brought up by EVERY dem political candidate who proposes national health care, tax funded education for life, a livable wage and universal basic income! WHY DON'T THEY EVER TALK ABOUT IT?

  1031. NO ONE LIKES THEIR INSURANCE COMPANIES! and that includes the auto, home or medical insurance companies. insurance companies make their money through denial of care, through overselling you insurance you don't need or underselling you insurance YOU DESPERATELY NEED! the insurance industry is one of the most HATED and MISTRUSTED industries in the world! for the MSM and dem candidates to continue to misrepresent and demonize national health care is the perfect example of far-right, pro-insurance industry fear mongering. good job in promoting the agenda of the corrupt, profiteering insurance companies. the solution is simple: you raise corporate and elitist taxes to fair and reasonable levels, reduce the military budget, increase middle class taxes by about a $100 a year, ELIMINATE sky-high insurance premiums, deductibles and co-pay and you receive FULL medical coverage in return. this is what 100's of nations, both big and small, rich and poor, do right now and guess what? THEIR COUNTRIES AREN'T BEING DESTROYED! but not in backward, medieval America! OH MY GAWD! damn socialism will kill us ALL! providing universal healthcare is SATANIC and DESTRUCTIVE! you damn stupid fools. wake the hell up!
    1
  1032. not only health care and education but LEGAL SERVICES; legal representation, court access and law enforcement should be PUBLICALLY, SOCIALLY and TAX PAYER FUNDED! justice ISN'T a private commodity but a social obligation. and justice can't be served when its denied people due to exorbitant fees and financial restrictions. the Magna Carta which was written by a bunch of elitist OVER 800 years ago, in 1215, says, in Clause 40: ‘To no one shall we sell, delay or deny right or justice’. but in America, as in the rest of the world, lack of money is the most common excuse for lack of justice, court access and legal representation. in fact if the poor had equal access to the law, courts and legal representation equal access to health care and college would soon follow and poverty itself would in fact DISAPPEAR because the existence poverty is IMMORAL, UNETHICAL, a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS and thus ILLEGAL!

  1033. +Jeanne… yes, the oligarchs have sucked the once flourishing American economy dry. but don't be fooled. except for brief 25 year stint, between 1945 and 1970, when the G.I. bill, unions and affordable housing costs flourished, the U.S. was always a poor country. but since Reagan implemented Milton Friedman's neo-liberal, laissez-faire economic policies our country has been thrown into chaos and gutter-level elitism and fascism has only made matters worse than ever.
    1
  1034. sorry thom, but if you believe american home "ownership" is at 50% you're falling for one of many capitalist lies. first of all, a mortgage isn't ownership. its "rent-to-own." you can be removed from your home, LEGALLY, by the elite at any time for any reason. that's NOT ownership! lastly, only about 25 to 30% of americans can qualify for a mortgage! what's really STUPID here is that i've been paying a house payment, ON TIME, every month for 30 years. but i STILL DON'T OWN ANYTHING! this is called "rent." while rich american's house payments go towards eventual ownership, we lower class american "renters" pay the same house payments FOR DECADES but are NEVER ALLOWED to own anything! THIS IS CAPITALISM!
    1
  1035. yes, the dems and GOP have monopolized our political discourse long enough. where has it gotten us? on the verge of collapse. its time for a NEW approach. its time to bring political and economic thought into the 21st century. because, whatever it is WE, all of us, are doing it ain't working. "equalism" denounces the fascism coming from both sides and by doing so brings social ideology into the MODERN ERA! ! both sides have embraced fascism more and more over the last 30 years. the right has been taken over by the billion dollare gun and evangelical lobbies and the left has been taken over by the billion dollar gay and "rap" culture lobbies. the right wants to erase racism from our history books and the left wants to erase gender facts from biology, our schools and our sports. both sides denounce fascism UNLESS it enforces their own prejudices and delusional worldview. i think you're all nuts! which is why i founded equalism. it represents humanity's one chance to regain its sanity and denounce fascism once and for all!

  1036. minimum wage does contribute to inflation. but its not the only factor. basic income and minimum wage both face the same problems. they're both in a constant state of "catch up" with inflation. every time wages increase the elite raise prices to counter it. and they counter it to maintain - even increase - they're profit margins. so, although ideas like MW or UBI may help, they're not the solution to anything because they're in a perpetual need of adjustment. and, when an adjustment is proposed, by the time the proposal is passed it always falls short of what's needed. this type of legislation is designed to be a minute late and a dollar short. this is a capitalist solution and there are NO capitalist solutions to capitalist problems. in fact MW and UBI are the capitalists dream because they give them the excuse to raise prices, fuel inflation and increase profits even further.
    1
  1037.  @randyozaeta1026  … "inflation" is the rise in prices - period. no matter what the cause. whenever wages increase businesses MUST increase their prices to maintain and increase they're profit margins. which makes the wage increase ineffective and puts wages in a perpetual position of catch-up just to maintain a livability. the never ending pursuit of ever increasing profits is the underlying reason for all inflation but the specific causes may vary.
    1
  1038.  @randyozaeta1026  ... that's precisely what i'm saying. capitalism is a flawed system. minimum wage and UBI can't correct this flaw because the corporations simply adjust their prices to counteract any such measures creating a perpetual state of inflation. labor compensation can NEVER catch-up because its designed for them not to.

  1039. we can't take our country or our constitution back because they never belonged to us to begin with. but we can take our country away from the fascists and the elite. but as long as the middle class continues to sleep and just accept whatever corruption and crimes the elite inflict upon them, we will sink deeper and deeper into this dystopian nightmare. the middle class is the key and, so far, they comply with and fall for whatever scam their elite masters dangle in front of them.

  1040. there have been many wise and benevolent people throughout history that most of humanity has chosen to ignore; the Buddha, Socrates, Jesus, Thomas Paine, henry David Thoreau, john Stewart mill, Gandhi and martin Luther king among them. you're invited to watch my youtube channel. its entirely dedicated to the philosophy i founded called "equalism." its quite unique. it identifies fascism as ANY act of predation or domination. fascism is as much a character trait as it is a political ideology. and equalism is a rejection of the fascism that now permeates both the right and left. its intent is to UNITE the non-fascists on both sides against their common enemy; the elite who divide us and enslave us all. check it out if you wish, start with "equalism 101." its an adequate overview of equalism.
    1
  1041. +Peter... yes it is cult. equalism has recognized this from the beginning. but the left posses its own cult characteristics. liberals support illegal immigration. if that's not open boarders I don't know what is. they want to eliminate ICE, end deportations and make the U. S. bilingual. just face it - the left has been hijacked by insane "leaders" who have redefined the left through crazy immigration policies and gender neutral nonsense! gender-dysphorics are mentally ill and we should not be reinforcing their delusions and letting refine  gender or determine domestic legislation.  when the left comes to there senses on these 2 issues you'll se a grand migration of voters leaving conservatism coming to the left. then you'll all be basically supporting equalism. watch my video "equalism 122: This equalist Platform will get anyone elected!" at the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqCbqxLP03o - and lets fix this mess the "leadership" on the left and right have made for us.

  1042. we already have an authoritarian dictatorship; particularly as each president continue to rely more and more on legislating through executive orders to circumvent a congress more and more unable to act in the common good. but there is a way to revolt without guns or violence; its called equalism.

  1043. equalism is the anti-ism ism. so, If anyone is looking for something truly original and different check out my equalism lecture series, in sequence beginning with equalism 101, on my channel. you can check out my latest series of videos: equalism 118a: Wisdoms and Lessons of History (part 1) at this link - https://youtu.be/oAUs81z6sOc - ALL non-predators are welcome. equalism exposes the leadership of both sides as fascist and corrupt. you never know, you all just may be equalists and not yet know it.

  1044. amazon, Walmart, exon-mobile, Microsoft, apple and YouTube are already virtual global monopolies. more people rely on these companies, and a handful of others, for their daily survival than they rely on their own families, communities and govts! these companies have more control over our lives and the planet than ANY govt! if these companies were to close down the world's economy would collapse. and this is the way the elite want it. they want us COMPLETELY dependent on THEM! this is how capitalism is supposed to work.

  1046. +Pot... you must be more specific. exactly what part of which truthful statement are you denying? i'm not as fascinated to hear your denial of reality as you are to hear the truth from me but give it a shot. I might take pity on you and explain, YET again, for the umpteenth time, the positions I espouse in those 2 comments.
    1
  1047. +Pot... also, how can you be a pot advocate and a trump advocate at the same time? trump, in all his magnificent stupidity, all his fascist glory, is re-intensifying the failed war on drugs. you're either a hypocrite or a troll. or maybe even both!
    1
  1048. +erin… you got it right. the elite call anything that threatens the status quo, the establishment, elitist monopolies - socialism. and they claim it as something evil. anything that benefits society and helps people hurt by their greed is something evil. but I think the elite know perfectly well what socialism really is. its a society without their privilege and power. so they misrepresent it as something evil, totalitarian and destructive when in fact the opposite is true. and there are still WAY too many people still falling for these elitist lies. the elite want us to FEAR whatever will free us from them.
    1
  1049. but at the same time many on the the "left" will often misrepresent socialism too. whenever they claim the Soviets or the Chinese were ever socialist they're misrepresenting socialism. whenever they claim reform, massive govt bureaucracies and govt dependence as socialism they're misrepresenting it.
    1
  1050. equalism, a new and innovative philosophy I founded, simplifies all this convolution. equalism defines capitalism as any system that divides society into 2 major classes; an elite and everyone else. (everyone else being called the comlen.) any change of systems, such as from feudalism to capitalism, were, in reality, a change in name ONLY to create the ILLUSION of change. when in actuality little change was realized at all - an elite still ruled and the comlen worked for the benefit of that elite. even the small business owners Hartman spoke of in his youth (my dad was a small business "owner") just worked for and was a slave to the same elite that ruled everyone else. so any change that's occurred in human society since the earliest city-city states have been cyclical and illusionary. the invention of monetary systems was crucial in maintaining elite privilege and control of society. btw, just as the nation-state replaced the city-state, the corporate state is replacing the nation-state. welcome to the corporate-state. the corporate police-state to be more accurate. where national flags are being replaced with corporate logos, your privacy is a corporate commodity and technology is used to track you, spy on you, manipulate you, stupefy you and ADDICT you and ENSLAVE YOU!
    1
  1051.  @Miss1Ginger  ... but, my friend, what good is knowing what and where the cracks are if we can't repair those cracks? when politicians keep getting elected BECAUSE of those cracks and they want the cracks to remain and even widen because THEY LIKE those cracks. term limits is a perfect example. term limits would help resolve many of these problems but the people in congress the longest are the one's with the power and preventing term limits from becoming a reality. people in power don't very often VOTE to limit or remove their own power.
    1
  1052. +Jim... good idea. but even the word "benefit" carries a "handout" connotation whether it prefaced with the "earned" or not. why not just call them HUMAN RIGHTS. that's what they are. retirement and financial security, livable wages and just benefits, housing, food, education and medical care are human rights. there things that earned by just being born and being human. but either way, I think we're both on the right track. but will we ever be listened to?

  1053. and there remains NO mention of trump revoking the net neutrality laws? since its end the internet AND YOUTUBE has bombarded us with MASS pro-corporate and capitalist lies and propaganda through MASS commercialization and business fraud. "independent" get-rich hucksters, stock-market investment frauds, con-artists, profiteers, thieves and liars have TAKEN over every web-site imaginable. news, entertainment, retail and even PORN websites are now inundated with crass and dishonest commercialism! every few months or weeks youtube increases the number of commercials. their frequency and LENGTH!

  1055. +Taumata... good point. the point I keep trying to make with so-called "progressives" is many of the positions they support fuel the rise in fascism that they claim they're fighting against. the first step in ENDING fascism is too stop supporting positions that create more fascists. supporting a sane and limited immigration policy doesn't make you racist. but supporting the insanity of unfettered immigration creates racism!

  1056. trump WASN'T ELECTED. how many times do I have to point this out to you liberals? every left leaning pundit I've heard over the last 2 years has, correctly, exposed all the fraud, all the illegal acts committed to get trump into the white house. this means the entire 2016 pseudo-election cycle was unconstitutional, thus, illegal, thus NULLIFIED! an illegal election does not place people into public office! SO TRUMP IS NOT PRESIDENT - so stop calling him that. every time the left calls this usurper "president" they are firehosing on behalf of the republicans and trump himself. you are repeating a lie often enough that people believe it! so quit lying on trump's behalf!

  1058. walmart is effectively a monopoly. so's google, microsoft and youtube. you can see how the corporate monopoly culture even affects our pop culture. music, tv shows, sports and films have become increasingly homogomized and cookie cutter. you can see it in our technology. that cellphone in your pocket, that video game you're playing, the cashless economy and the surveillance society are ALL part of this economic REDUCTION into fewer and fewer companies that concentrates wealth into fewer and fewer hands.

  1059. @Don B …. that's the truth for sure. it also makes you wonder why Pelosi was so adamant about holding trump's impeachment charges to only 2 COUNTS! when he had committed dozens of impeachable offenses over the last 3 years. you know, trump is the most despised politician in America yet he remains the least "protested" "president" in the last 70 years. everyone complains but no one bothers to show up at the whitehouse and voice their discontent IN PERSON! the dems and the billionaire dem donors should've been organizing DAILY anti-trump protests from even BEFORE he was sworn in! trump and his BIG CORPORATE DONORS are behind all this anti-CDC INSANITY! but the dems won't organize street protests against trump. I wonder why?
    1
  1060. @Don B … in a general sense, the elite, whether on the left or right, are, as a group, the only people who consistently do the same things over and over, yet CLAIM to expect different results. we're ruled by INSANE PREDATORS doing insanely predatory things. there's a book out called "Everything Trump Touches Dies." this most definitely applies to trump but it also applies to the ENTIRE elite to one degree or another. everything from american economics, politics, religion and culture have been on a GUTTER trajectory for the last 40 years! ever since Reagan stole the Whitehouse this country has been headed for the gutter - and trump has completed the journey. the U. S. is NOW, OFFICIALLY, a gutter country! a third world banana republic made all the more dangerous for its highly sophisticated and ridiculously expensive military, technological and surveillance apparatus.

  1061.  @chorleycc  … you're right. I, for one, am damned tired of being forced to choose between the lesser of 2 evils every election cycle! I would NEVER vote for biden under less dangerous and INSANE circumstances. but trump has presented us with NO choice! trump is so vile, despicable, incompetent, corrupt and unqualified to be "president" (he isn't actually the legal president) that voting for biden is actually a step UP! i'll gladly choose biden to return to our "normal" level of corruption rather than continue down trump's mega-fascist, corrupt and incompetent anti-American path!

HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! he didn't win any election. the white house was handed to him through a coup, a fixing and rigging of the electoral process. the evidence is EVERYWHERE! THIS IS A FACT! everyone calling this traitor president is guilty of FIRE-HOSING!  - the act of repeating a lie often enough people begin to believe the lie! so, do us all a favor, accept reality. the U.S. was the victim of a coup d'etat. so, stop fire-hosing the lie that this criminal is president.

  1064. i think the rest of the world is in shock that trump could unleash such ENORMOUS corruption, chaos, turmoil and DEATH onto our country and no one is stopping him. yep, thanks to trump our country has become a reality tv show. and that's a very dangerous thing indeed. because "reality tv" is a FRAUD! and so is trump. i've been watching the trump INSANITY SHOW for over 40 years. and the plot hasn't changed one iota. its STILL all about trump's shameless greed and self promotion, him begging for attention and screaming - "LOOK AT ME! its all about me! ME! ME! ME! i'm special, i'm superior, i'm INFALLIBLE! LOOK AT ME! i lie, i rape, i steal, i don't pay taxes and i run business after business into bankruptcy - and i've gotten away with it for DECADES! I'M PERFECTION INCARNATE!" trump is SICKER THAN SHIT and he needs to be FORCIBLY removed from OUR whitehouse RIGHT NOW to prevent him from doing any more catastrophic damage to our country! ARREST THE TRAITOR ALREADY! isn't 210,000 dead americans enough? I SAY YES!

  1065. trump is a dictator. he's not trying to be or leaning in that direction - TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! history has shown that once fascism takes hold of a society its IMPOSSIBLE to remove it peaceably. this is the fault of the fascists themselves. THEY WON'T surrender power voluntarily. they must be FORCED OUT OF POWER. of course if law enforcement, the courts and military didn't sell out democracy removing fascists from power wouldn't be that difficult. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP FASCISM WITHOUT FORCE is by not letting it take over in the first place. our american democratic institutions have already failed us in this respect. this is why fascists ALWAYS take over the police and the military first... then the courts... then the news media. then anti-fascist citizens begin to disappear in the middle of the night and then right out in public! you wanna stop fascism? it takes a life-long, personal, committment. you must dedicate your life to it. sadly, the "left" in the u. s. today is almost as fascist as the "right." "maga" and "woke" are BOTH fascist. but trump's the deciding factor here. TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! and he must be removed and imprisoned by any means necassary.

  1068. doesn't anyone remember back when kim jong-un and trump were exchanging insults via twitter? that's trump's idea of diplomacy and foreign relations. then, suddenly, they both began to act as if they're best of friends. since the Spanish American war U. S. foreign policy has been based up "gunboat" diplomacy and supporting, so-called, murderous, anti-socialist, fascist regimes. and yes, not just trump but the GOP is based upon these same fascist principles of strong (and corrupt) centralized power. you know, authoritarianism. barr has stated emphatically that he believes in an authoritarian office of president. this is what executive orders, executive privilege and not indicted a sitting president is all about. this is what circumventing congress and defying congressional subpoenas at will is all about. the corporate elite want a fascist state to enforce their will and that's PRECISELY what we're allowing them to get!

  1069. these self titled "libertarians" are in fact mere laissez-faire capitalists with a few left-wing social positions thrown in. they may criticize big business on occasion but in fact their policies help big corporartions thrive and control the economy. and they know it. throughout the world the word "libertarian" is more or less synonymous with socialism. socialism being the process through which humanity can regain its liberty from the elite who enslaves it. and in america libertarian meant the exact same thing until after wwll when a small group of industrialists and oligarchs absconded with the word and corrupted its meaning to comply with their elitist agenda. so the elite has corrupted the word libertarian, in the U.S., just like it did the words "patriot," "justice" and even "freedom" itself. (remember "freedom is slavery"?) the left pulls this crap too but with different issues. orwell has a word for it - double-think, or newsspeak. its the re-defining of words and concepts to misrepresent your true goals and to distort reality itself. then as you simply fire-hose these intentionally mis-defined words you prime people for political manipulation and exploitation.

  1071. the U.S. is the ONLY industrialized country without some kind of independent voters protection, voter oversight agency that confirms, reconfirms votes and makes sure our system is honest. we have republican gerrymandering, voter purges, voting miscounts,  voting machine malfunctions, corporate owned and corrupted voting machines and no paper trail or verification system of ANY KIND! and the democrats keep getting screwed over and over. and what does the democratic leadership do in response to this corruption? NOTHING but rig their candidates in favor of establishment pro-corporate candidates. which is just one reason I dislike the democrats. THEY HELP THE REPUBLICANS WIN!

  1072. i've paid over $11, 000 on a $3500 single semester student loan debt i don't owe AND THEY'RE NOT STOPPING! treasury offset has been stealing from my poverty level monthly disability payments since 2007 to pay on this debt. at the end of every year the student loan program adds more to the debt in interest than was paid the previous year turning this into a LIFE-LONG DEBT! i didn't even finisish the semester and i recieved NO GRADES! i've paid 11 GRAND AND RECIEVED ABOLUTELY NOTHING IN RETURN! and i've NEVER returned to college! the numerous other reasons i don't owe this false debt is irrevelant! because they've STOLEN $11,000 for a $3500 debt AND THEY'RE NOT STOPPING!!!! THIS IS THEFT AND LOAN SHARKING! i've notified my own california federal reps, the U.S. educational comittee, the student loan program and even Obama when he was president on several occasions but - NO ONE CARES!  THIS IS INSANE! the reality is every cent stolen should be returned to me with interest but at this point in time they can keep $3500, or even $4 grand but the rest MUST BE RETURNED!

I think its damned time to abolish this accepted order of doing things and lets try doing things differently for once.

  1077. trump isn't president. so stop calling him that. and the DNC helped put trump on the white house. all capitalism is based on myths. the myth that the elite are better than the rest of us and deserve and earn their wealth. the myth that greed, self-interest and the accumulation of private wealth helps all of society. the myth that capitalism is any different than aristocracy and feudalism. and the myth of adam smith's "invisible hand." its all a load of rubbish and proven so in our day to day lives. what I don't understand are the fools who continue to cling to these lies, support their own slavery and defend their slave masters.

  1078. quit comparing covid-19 to tobacco. they're not related in the slightest. TOBACCO DOESN'T CAUSE CANCER! and 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th hand smoke - how many more "hands" are they going to make up - doesn't harm anyone accept maybe 5% who have asthma or less than 1% who have an allergy to the smoke. the so-called "left" needs to stop propagating the LIE that cigarettes cause cancer. THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF THIS! in fact, the evidence proves otherwise. JUST ASK THEM. the honest one's will expose the truth behind this fraud. so let's put it this way. a highly infectious disease IS A THREAT to public health. but that doesn't mean the AMA isn't influenced by political agenda's in other areas. doctors AREN'T ALL wonderful, pure, angelic entities that can't be corrupted. they're just as susceptible to political and MONETARY influences as anyone else. and once so many of them decided to join the fascist, $1 billion, anti-smoking lobby they demonstrated they are just as corruptible as anyone else. sometimes doctors are good people and sometimes they're not. just like everyone else. you have to examine each "medical" claim on its own merits. rather than just giving the profiteering AMA and the other corporate medical professionals blanket approval for EVERYTHING they say and do! HEY GUESS WHAT! i've needed medical attention for over 20 years and these a-hole doctors REFUSE ME MEDICAL CARE! so doctors are just as corrupt, greedy, meanspirited, money and profit motivated as any fascist/capitalist.

  1081. its not the press that's dividing us but the elite who owns the mainstream news media. the elite on the left and right perpetuate social conflict pitting us against each other so THEY maintain their power. there's a new and innovative philosophy called equalism that's based upon this reality! you wanna stop this nonsense? stop playing the elitist game of divide and conquer. stop believing the so-called left and eight are mortal enemies. WE'RE NOT! fascists and anti-fascists are in mortal conflict for the future of human freedom and there are fascists and anti-fascists on BOTH sides. and many (most) of them can't even identify themselves correctly because of all the misinformation, lies and fire-hosing the fascist elite spew on a daily basis! watch my equalism channel if you ever want to actually end this INSANE perpetual cycle of conflict the elite have implemented over the last 6000 years!

  1082. +Debbie.... my thought exactly. playing golf and giving campaign speeches isn't quite essential presidential responsibilities. secrecy and cover ups is the american way! I've been saying this since the 2016 sham election. to investigate and prosecute trump for his crimes BOTH parties would implicating themselves in bribery and corruption charges GALORE! that's one reason Pelosi is against impeachment and the mueller investigation was so limited in scope and took over 2 years!

  1083. my ex-landlord extorted 50 grand from me and my parents and no one cares. the student loan program has stolen over 11 grand from my disability for a $3500 debt o don't owe. no one cares. i'm extremely ill, receiving full medicare, no deductible or co-pay, and a CAN'T get medical care. no one cares. I've notified cops, govt agencies, political reps, the news media and lawyers. no one cares. I've posted YT videos about all these crimes against me. no one watches OR CARES! I've been SCREAMING for justice for over 15 years but no one cares. is it any wonder criminals have taken over the country and the world? no one cares! no one wants to do anything. they go protest some stupid straight pride parade. they spend millions helping illegal immigrants. but when it comes to the American POOR! NO ONE CARES!

I've been DENIED EVERY stimulus check EVER OFFERED by the U. S. govt! millions of poor WON'T get their MONEY! covid-19 PROVES just how badly we've needed a revolution in the last 4 - 50 years! but americans were just TOO complacent and apathetic.

  1085. the Russians agreed with trump campaign to release Clinton's emails just prior to the election. trump has held PRIVATE meetings with Russian diplomats and Putin since he's occupied the white house. why is the mueller "report" being kept a secret? why was much of the "investigation" done in secret? why was the investigation limited to ONLY the possibility of Russian collusion? why were so many convicted of lying to investigators and why did they feel the need to lie? why the hell was trump so damned anxious during all of this? i'm more convinced now than ever that putin was directly involved, along with Russian and American big business and oligatchs, in getting trump illegally placed into the white house. all you gotta do is ask the right questions and hear that buffoon trump brag, now, about his ABSOLUTE, UNDOUBTED "exoneration" and you'll be convinced like me! i suggest you watch this BEFORE deciding poor; little trump was falsely accused of Russian collusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79gJB9iUqkM&list=WL&index=144&t=0s -

I just saw 2 documentaries on the rise of Mussolini and Hitler and I see the something VERY similar here. the elected legislatures and the bureaucrats have LOST CONTROL over the govt and are bending to every command, every threat issued by trump!

  1091. there's no such thing as authoritarian socialism. socialism is impossible without democracy. capitalism is economic fascism and fascism is political capitalism. one can't exist without the other. socialism is economic democracy and democracy is political socialism. one can't exist without the other. the elite lie about socialism because they fear what will free us from them.

Pelosi belongs in prison right along side trump as long as she continues to let this maniac who stole the white house act like damned dictator! and now we have the summer congressional recess approaching where all this will be delayed even further and trump will act like even more of a dictator! the dems DON'T need Pelosi to impeach this criminal! so IMPEACH this SOB ALREADY!!

  1104.  @fritanke2318  ... you make a good point. capitalists despise REAL competition. they want everything rigged in their favor. AND THEY ALWAYS GET WANT THEY WANT! "unfair" competition isn't competition at all. this is where so many confuse capitalism with "free-marketism." they're TWO different things. free-marketism actually encourages FREE competition along an equal playing field. free-marketism not only protects FRIENDLY competition but freedom of choice. and like socialism, with free-marketism there's NO winners or losers in economic competition. WE ALL WIN! under capitalism there's obvious "winners and losers" that cause social divisions, envy, greed, jealousy and animosity. capitalism is an elitist based system that pits society against ITSELF! winners take all. and the rest are forced to just do without. in other words, capitalism is about corruption while free-marketism and socialism are about COOPERATION! where competition leads to the betterment of us ALL! not just tthe most devious, ruthless and predatory among us. IN FACT, socialism and free-marketism are much more closely related than capitalism and free-marketism.

  1108.  Stevie Blue  ... i appreciate the sentiment but greed won't "kill" capitalism. greed is what FUELS capitalism. the ONLY thing that will defeat fascism and its economic system, capitalism - IS US! it won't go away of its own accord. its ruled humanity for 6000 years. its survived MASS protests, scandals, corruption, "slavery,' economic collapse, internal strife between the ruling class, civil wars and revolution. its proven to be extremely resilient and self-perpetuating. it ain't gonna just disappear - we must MAKE IT disappear my friend. and are you saying automation will protect us from the police state? automation only strengthens fascism and its police-state. automation, dependence on, addiction to and blind acceptance of technology, and the technology itself - IS the police state. that "siri" you have in your home, the cell-phone you have in your pocket and the globally interconnected 5G network their installing throughout the world WITHOUT your permission or input are ALL POLICE-STATE technologies. they got YOU, and over 3/4's of humanity, dependent on, addicted to and accepting of THEIR police-state already! meanwhile, people continue to sleep!

  1117. its impossible for trump to be re-elected. there are several possible scenarios. trump can steal the white house again - be illegally placed into the white house a second rime as he was in 2016. he can be elected for the first time. he can lose the election. or he can decline to run for whatever reason - hopefully because he's been impeached or imprisoned for stealing the white house in 2016. but its LIITERALLY impossible for anyone who wasn't elected the first time to be RE-elected.

  1118. if a blubbering, billionaire simpleton like trump can cause this much misery and mayhem just imagine the damage a SMART, blubbering billionaire could cause. trump doesn't seem so funny now does he? i'm so tired of people, over the last 5 years, making jokes about that criminal. fascism ISN'T funny. its never been funny. one thing trump has proven is just how susceptible the U. S. is to a fascist takeover. thanks largely to a corrupt judicial system and ineffective congress that not only has surrendered much of its authority to the executive branch but also puts "agenda" over the rule of law, common decency, human rights, logic and SANITY. the constitution MUST BE made enforceable otherwise its just a damned useless piece of paper. and there's NOTHING funny about it!

  1120. this has been a tactic of conservatives for decades now; someone exposes your racism you accuse them of racism, when they expose your fascism you accuse them of being the fascists. this is a common school yard bully tactic. trump has only intensified this tactic. and this "social media" is the result of technology. this mass-media reinforcement of one's prejudices, on both the right and left, is brought to you by your friendly, neighborhood corporate internet provider and their social-media conglomerates who's main intent ISN'T to inform, but to victimize you and herd you and DIVIDE society so the elite stay in power. welcome to the police-state!

  1121. here in the u. s. we don't have a functioning democracy, rule of law or respect for human rights. since 1974 when ford pardoned nixon - even though he wasn't convicted of anything - the u. s. has been sinking deeper and deeper into an elitist, corporate, fascist oligarchy. and this decline has continued under gop AND democratic party rule. our so-called "democratic institutions" have surrendered more and more of their constitutional authority to the executive branch. the obvious abuse of insane, unvetted, unilateral executive orders is a perfect example. our slow moving, easily distracted, political courts are another example of this deterioration. FASCISTS have taken over the leadership of both the right (maga) and the left (woke). all we have in the u. s. today is 2 fanatical, extremist fascist sides trying to out fascist each other for absolute control over the entire country. AND TRUMP IS THE RESULT OF THAT FIGHT OVER DOMINANCE! LOOK - trump committed treason, ON TV, IN PUBLIC, IN REAL TIME, and here he is today making a complete shambles of this country. TRUMP ISN'T PRESIDENT! we have LAWS FORBIDING TRAITORS LIKE TRUMP from being in the white house. YET - THERE HE IS acting like a dictator to benefit the fascist rich. what good are laws if no one enforces them?

  1122. +Steve... good point. carbon taxes was an idea presented by the oil companies so they could just keep right in polluting and pass the cost of the tax on to the consumer. not only a HORRIBLE IDEA but a total scam! here's a better and more efficient idea. make drilling for, spilling and using gas and oil for fuel a crime and enforce the damned law. stop kowtowing to the elite and doing EVERYTHING they demand. then you globally share - without debt - all the solar, wind and other non-polluting technologies with all other nations AND REDUCE THE HUIMAN brainwashed demand for and dependence on electricity, industrialization and technology. it ain't difficult, it ain't hard - YOU JUST DO THE DAMNED THING!

  1123. another point is that nearly half of americans support and defend this republican corruption of the constitutional and political process of this republic of ours. they think its great that the system is being rigged in their favor. the elite already had all the advantages in our society now the trump cultists want those advantages intensified and solidified. i'm no fan of the democrats but the underhanded and illegal means the republicans have undertaken over the last few decades has really undermined EVERYTHING it means to be an American.

  1124. yep, FDR was right. then he goes and runs for and accepts the presidency 4 TIMES making himself a prime example of the criticisms he was making. FDR allowed himself to become president for life which, itself, is another form of fascism. the abuse of political power is no less dangerous than the abuse of economic power. "can we stop corporate power before it takes away democracy for good?' we most certainly can. in fact I founded a new philosophy called equalism which has that as its primary goal. it'll take TRUE dedication to the cause. it'll take LIFE-LONG commitments. we MUST STOP allowing the elite from herding us, manipulating us and dividing us. we MUST STOP living our lives as our oppressors tell us to and start living our lives as we know we should. equalism is the philosophy of UNITY! and its the ONLY philosophy that offers real-world solutions. WE CAN BE FREE - but first YOU ALL must take the first steps! all we need do is learn about equalism, WAKE UP, join the equalism movement, WAKE UP OTHERS, initiate this "revolution of thought" and it WILL BE DONE!

  1125. these partisan actions by the GIOP, McConnel et al, are not only underhanded and unethical, their ILLEGAL and unconstitutional. so you have to ask yourselves, where's the democratic leadership during all this? why are they nor raising hell? they need to be relentlessly filing law suits and funding and organizing MASS protests. why is it EVERYTIME the dems it screwed, and they've been getting screwed a lot these last 40 years, why do they just roll over and play dead?

  1126. Reagan was indeed a criminal and elitist shill. the stats clearly show elitist wealth skyrocketed since his fascist policies took effect and the incomes of the comlen have remained stagnant, at best! and corporate consolidation and monopolization has run amok. the weirdest thing to me is the effect of this pro-elitist propaganda continues to have on blind and gullible people. fascists still equate concentrated wealth with "individualism" and hold on to the fallacy that hard work results in wealth and wealth is simply a sign of superiority. they deny the reality they, themselves, experience in their own lives while embracing the myths espoused by their own oppressors. that's CRAZY! maybe reagan emptied the mental institutions to increase the republican base!

  1127. i keep telling you all what's wrong, why its wrong and how to fix it and i just keep being ignored and censored by the elite on the left and right. "woke" had just as much to do with the rise of fascism and trump than "maga" did. since the gilded, and before, the gop has been feeding us full of lies. and in the early 1990s crazy woke took over the left and created their own avalanche of fascist lies to feed us. maga and trump is the direct result of the left betraying its traditional principles and goals and going extreme and fantical in support of delusions and nonsense observant americans reject. no one listened and NOW WE HAVE A CRISIS in america that exceeds the depression and equals the civil war.

  1128. i was forced, just last week, to subject myself to facial recognition to BUY A DAMNMED CAR! THE POLICE-STATE IS HERE! when are you jerks going to figure this OUT? am i the ONLY american with the intelligence and integrity to DENOUNCE and reject this police-state? apparently i am! i've been fighting this police-=state - ALL ALONE - for over 40 years! i'm sick of this crap!

  1129. doesn't anyone remember back when kim jong-un and trump were exchanging insults via twitter? that's trump's idea of diplomacy and foreign relations. then, suddenly, they both began to act as if they're best of friends. since the Spanish American war U. S. foreign policy has been based up "gunboat" diplomacy and supporting, so-called, murderous, anti-socialist, fascist regimes. and yes, not just trump but the GOP is based upon these same fascist principles of strong (and corrupt) centralized power. you know, authoritarianism. barr has stated emphatically that he believes in an authoritarian office of president. this is what executive orders, executive privilege and not indicted a sitting president is all about. this is what circumventing congress and defying congressional subpoenas at will is all about. the corporate elite want a fascist state to enforce their will and that's PRECISELY what we're allowing them to get!

  1130. +Shayke… you, like so many others, just expressed the reality that equalism has accepted for over 15 years NOW! I founded equalism mainly for people like you and me - those who see the corruption AND insanity from the "leadership" on both sides. if you really believe what you just wrote read my comment above and join the equalism movement. there IS a way out of this mess the elite on both sides have made for us!

  1131. the American fascists stole the word "libertarian." throughout the world "libertarianism" refers to socialism. only in the U.S., after WWll, were the fascist elite allowed to steal it and rebrand it to refer to laissez-faire economics. this of course is absolute fraud, the elites favorite weapon. its also an excellent example of fire-hosing and astro-turfing. why do the elite on the left and right use fraud, fire-hosing and astro-turfing so much? because it WORKS! if the people really knew what these elite were up to there might actually be OPEN and UNITED REBELLION in this country. lying to is the only way to keep us divided, complacent and compliant.

  1133. to think the u. s. isn't involved in this is just naïve. this is just another step taken by the global elite in the fascistification of the entire world. I like morales and admire all that he accomplished but 15 years in the "presidency" is just too long. he should've passed off the baton to another candidate years ago.

  1135. i got this little tidbit off of bing news yesterday - Pro-Trump activist claims GOP lawmakers helped him plan 'Stop the Steal' protest that turned into riot One of the organizers of last week's "Stop the Steal" protest -- which then spilled over into a violent assault on the U.S. Capitol -- claims three Republican congressmen helped plan the whole thing. Right-wing activist Ali Alexander said he and the GOP lawmakers -- whom he identified as Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Mo Brooks (R-AL) and Paul A. Gosar (R-AZ) -- planned the protest as a means to put pressure on Congress to reject the certification of Joe Biden's election win, reported the Washington Post.

  1136. jfk was right. except fot his defense of the "international" bankers. or bankers at all. you have to remember, like the john birch society, jfk and the dems were fanatical capitalists just like they are today. but, today, threats to our country come from both a fanatical, delusional "left" wing as well as a fanatical, delusional right wing. for some reason, some how, the left has allowed itself to be taken over by those spewing delusional, paranoid and divisive rhetoric. abandoning logic, science and women's rights all to push the crazy "gay agenda." this is one major cause of the rise of the fascism on the right. the left IS just as responible for the rise of fascism in this country as the right. the whole world's gone bonkers yet everyone refuses to accept their own culpibility. its always ALL the other side's fault. are we ever going to see through the lies that divide us and accept the truths that UNITE US?
    1
  1137. trump isn't president. so stop calling him that. and, by rigging their own primary against sanders, the DNC helped put trump in the white house. all capitalism is based on myths. the myth that the elite are better than the rest of us and deserve and earn their wealth. the myth that greed, self-interest and the accumulation of private wealth helps all of society. the myth that capitalism is any different than aristocracy and feudalism. and the myth of adam smith's "invisible hand." its all a load of rubbish and proven so in our day to day lives. what I don't understand are the fools who continue to cling to these lies, support their own slavery and defend their slave masters.

  1138. i had the same questions following trump's perfectly timed publicity stunt. true or not its trump's OWN history of self promotion, lies and fraud that raises the questions in the first place. NOTHING trump does or says can be taken at face value. there's ALWAYS a scam involved! ALWAYS! trump keeps his entire life incredibly secret. its what all his ILLEGAL NDAs are about. he still hides his medical records. his educational records and tax returns from public view. THIS IS WHAT HARRIS should push during the debates. MAKE TRUMP PROVE SOMETHING! ANYTHING! just once!

  1139. finally, someone exposing the tech billionaires for the criminals that they are. I've been saying this for decades and some moron always shoots me down. and don't forget it was jobs who drove apple to near bankruptcy, partly through his insane insistence that apple computers be unable to interface with non-apple PCs. then, through his govt connections, the u. s. govt granted jobs the exclusive contract to produce and promote the first "consumer" level cell phones which was the most dangerous GIANT leap toward our present day police state. jobs, musk and gates and all the tech scammers are just your common, two-bit, idiot, fascist profiteers.

  1140. this has been a gop/heritage foundtion/libertarian plan for 50 years. the gop steals elections through fraud, deciet, fearmongering, gerrymandering and direct rigging, then sabotage govt agencies and programs and then claim they don't work and need to be "privatized" or completely remove them all together. why should the govt do anything for anyone when private enterprise can profit from those "services." according to the gop the govt has no obligation to anyone except the rich. the rest of us are ON OUR OWN! there's a word for this type of govt - FASCISM!

  1142. and that's PRECISELY WHAT IT IS - A COUP! trump's jan-6 coup failed. but his 2024 coup SUCCEEDED! TRUMP ISN'T PRESIDENT! and the more we call that traitor "president" the more we validate his DICTATORSHIP! my god we have fed govt security personel in govt buildings who REFUSE to keep musk and his gang of fascists out of highly secured govt buildings, records and databases. instead of enforcing the law security is opening the doors to them while blocking elected officials entry. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

  1143. McConnell's pretty damned corrupt that's for sure. my question is - who made mcconnell dictator of the senate? he DOESN'T have the right to deny any legislation a vote. and who made Pelosi the dictator of the house? she doesn't have the right to block impeachment proceedings against trump. the constitution never intended and doesn't allow such concentration of power in congress or the executive branch. our country is REALLY screwed up!

  1144. mr pruit is so out of touch i'm sure the Kansas GOP voters will just love him. lastly, if the tariffs are hurting Kansas voters so much, as they are the ENTIRE country, then why do said voters STILL support trump? are they idiots? don't they know TRUMP is responsible for these tariffs that are doing them so much harm?

  1145. its impossible for trump to be re-elected. there are several possible scenarios. trump can steal the white house again - be illegally placed into the white house a second rime as he was in 2016. he can be elected for the first time. he can lose the election. or he can decline to run for whatever reason - hopefully because he's been impeached or imprisoned for stealing the white house in 2016. but its LIITERALLY impossible for anyone who was elected the first time to be RE-elected.

  1146. poverty and homelessness are at crisis levels throughout the U. S. and our numbers have been steadily rising since the Reagan era and because of Reagan's implementation of neo-liberal economics. but the media refuse to report on it and the govt redefines economic terms to hide the true numbers. right now, nearly HALF of ALL americans qualify for some type of govt aid. they may not apply for it or receive it but they qualify for it. and this is happening as the people needing these funds receive less aid per person, funds for govt programs decrease or are privatized, the qualifications for aid become more strict and the govt definitions of poverty and homelessness have become more corrupted to hide the true numbers. hyper inflation lead by skyrocketing property values coupled with the increase in poverty level wages are the main culprits. the RICH are absconding with the ENTIRE American economy that WE ALL contribute to. both democrats and republicans have contributed to this crisis. both parties continue to cave to BIG MONEY INTERESTS and allow the elite to write the laws. you want to end this downward spiral? be prepared to REVOLT and dedicate your lives to the cause. because it ain't gonna stop otherwise. watch my equalism channel to learn more!

  1147.  @lynnwood7205  … you're so right. but the 2 parties haven't always been so linked as they are now. 2 factors contributed to this. one was the courts. as they more and more upheld the acts of legalized bribery through the last 50 years allowing more and more corporate money to flow into our political process the dems have sought and been bought by more corporate contributions to fund their campaigns and their party. factor 2 was Reagan's theft of the Whitehouse. he implemented a right-wing scheme called "the 2 santa clause theory" that was published a few before. raising the national debt while the GOP was in power and then drawing attention to the enormous national debt while the dems were office - helped pushed the democratic party to the right of center. so, in large part, thanks to these two factors we now have 2 major conservative political parties in the U. S. one slightly less conservative than the other and BOTH fanatically elitist, pro-military and pro-corporate.

  1148.  @thefarmersdaughter8235  ... Obama didn't start anything. but his "solutions" to problems that existed long before he came on the scene had little effect. as usual. Reagan in fact started all this neo-liberal insanity as a fanatically pursued policy. and each president since then only built upon Reagan's insanity. and trump is pursuing Reagan's policies in steroids. he's making things FAR worse than anyone before him since Reagan.

  1150.  @atrociousconsequences4432  … no president has ever been successfully impeached. and only one has ever resigned. the elite continue to commit crime after crime and, not only get away with it, but are rewarded for their crimes. we have a political system that makes it impossible to even remove from power someone who attains that power illegally. but who knows. impeachment would expose even more trump crimes and maybe that would finally convince the corrupt GOP to stop covering for trump. if the house would simply START impeachment proceedings we just may have our first instance for some sort of justice in this country.

  1151. troll farms are a REAL THING! they're basically hit men for hire. they'll spread whatever lie and cause any misery and mayhem they're paid to spread and cause. strange how so many of them target the right-wing. that's because the right-wing have proven to be the most gullible, paranoid and uninformed people in any society. fascists are well known throughout the world as the easiest to con and manipulate. and american fascists are the most delusional of all, like Göring said - "t's quite easy. All you have to do is tell the people that they are under attack, and accuse the pacifists of lack of patriotism and of putting their nation in danger. This method works in every country." you can get people to accept any lie, any absurdity once you can convince them to be AFRAID of their own common sense and self interests. FEAR is the great motivator.

  1152. the dems and the left in general need to stop pandering to illegal immigrants who can't even vote and the delusional gender dysphorics who actually harm the cause of gay rights. claiming gender is a choice, that men have a right to use women's bathrooms and that men can compete against women in sports is absolute INSANITY. both these issues scare the hell out of people, don't represent true progressivism and actually INCREASES fascism and hatred. when the dems abandon this divisive nonsense and return to their TRADITIONAL positions - labor rights, minority rights, women's rights, gay rights, consumer rights, environmental protections and economic justice - then you'll start seeing democratic and green party victories engulf the American political landscape.

  1153. the U.S. is the ONLY industrialized country without some kind of independent voters protection, voter oversight agency that confirms, reconfirms votes and makes sure our system is honest. we have republican gerrymandering, voter purges, voting miscounts, voting machine malfunctions, corporate owned and corrupted voting machines and no paper trail or verification system of ANY KIND! and the democrats keep getting screwed over and over. and what does the democratic leadership do in response to this corruption? NOTHING but rig their candidates in favor of establishment pro-corporate candidates. which is just one reason I dislike the democrats. THEY HELP THE REPUBLICANS WIN!

  1154. ALL socialism is democratic. there's no such thing as "authoritarian" socialism. its just a fascist lie. sadly, few people on earth know what socialism actually is. and many, if not most, self-proclaimed "socialists" fall into this category. socialism ISN'T about taxes, big govt or govt programs. socialism is a UNITED, cooperative and coordinated democratic society where taxes, big govt and govt programs AREN'T needed! its where social responsibility is equated with individual rights. as much as i like mr wolff and appreciate his knowledge of capitalism, and how it fails to work, he's wrong about what defines the intent and goals of socialism. BIG GOVT, like big corporations, is the result of capitalism NOT socialism. govt interference to control the potential ravages of unfettered capitalist fraud and greed is a capitalist construct. because, under capitalism, THE RICH OLIGARCHS, own and operated both the govt and private enterprise. govt protections against capitalist greed and corruption may be better than no protections at all, but they exist to PROP UP and perpetuate capitalist economics and keep the rich in power.

  1155. this is dangerous. the side baselessly claiming voter fraud from the other side is the side committing all the voter fraud. the reality is very few of trump's cult are so stupid as to believe trump's lies about rigged elections. they like trump BECAUSE he's willing to lie, cheat and falsley claim voter fraud to steal elections. this is why all these film clips exposing trump's flaws, corruption and treason don't phase them. they already know trump's a massive POS! and that makes them admire him even more!

  1158.  @Germoney2000  … yes, capitalism creates very strange bedfellows indeed. people, institutions and even govts borrow money from their "enemies." china could call in Its U. S. loans at any time and the U. S. couldn't pay it. it would go bankrupt, our economy would collapse and our country would become the virtual property of china. but that would be to china's disadvantage. the debt, alone, already makes them our economic masters and there's too much profit to be made from the interest on the debt. and a functioning American consumer class benefits THEIR economy. as for china being "socialist." don't believe it. like the Soviets, china was NEVER socialist. any "socialism" that may have been attached to either of these countries was in name and rhetoric only, not in practice.

  1159. it wasn't so much a "reagan revolution" but a "reagan reaction." and the dems fell right in line. the rich and powerful have always FEARED the masses. this is why in the original constiutuion senators were appointed by state legislatures and the electoral college was created. to keep power out of the hands of the lower classes. since reagan stole the 1980 election the middle class has been dwindled down nearly to its pre-ww2 levels from its unprecedented height in 60s and 70s. the dems have had over 40 years to correct this downward trend but have done nothing substantial to change its trajectory, clinton even HELPED this downward trend by reversing the "glass-steagall act." obama's DACA was just another hand out to the insurance industry and biden's "chips act" just a hand out to the giant tech corpotations. one thing i know from first hand experience, over the last 40 years my life has become a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! i'm so much worse off than my parents. the country is deterioting at an incredible rate. and its the fault of BOTH PARTIES!

  1160. the GOP has definitely reached a point so low it boggles the mind. especially when you realize they express a strong dislike for trump when speaking in private and off the record. the oligarchs are, right now, mass funding a media campaign on tv and facebook against impeachment and favoring trump. i'm surprised it hasn't hit youtube yet.

  1161.  @kathyinwonderlandl.a.8934  ... allowing trump to steal the Whitehouse was the biggest mistake the American elite ever made. he's a MAJOR threat from within and without to the stability and security to our country. this is NO joke and wish people would stop treating it as such. its good to see people like you who recognize the seriousness and urgency of the trump threat.

  1162. what did you expect? this is why the internet exists. so the corporate elite and their govt lapdogs can spy on us and to spread lies and disinformation. TO KEEP US DIVIDED! how many more times do i have to say this - technology DOESN'T exist for our benefit but for the benefit of our gangster leaders! why do you think EVERYONE, ALL CORPORATIONS, ALL ORGAINIZATIONS, ALL GOVTS are creating a world that DEMANDS WE ALL use their police-state technology? i've already BEEN LOCKED OUT because i don't own a cell phone. i'm denied business services and products and access to govt and govt programs because i REFUSE to buy a damned cell phone. i'm forced to be on the internet to gain access to what few social functions i can access. i don't wanna be on the damned internet. i'm not a moron! our bank accts, our medical histories, our personal info, what we buy, where we go, who we talk to, our ENTIRE histories are ALL on the internet ready to be hacked and used against US! and you idiots fell for it! I DIDN'T! but i'm paying the price for YOUR STUPIDITY!

  1166. what? trump ordering the withholding or misappropriation of congressionally sanctioned funds? just who the HELL is supposed to be enforcing our goddamned laws? screw impeachment trump needs to be arrested! arrest the bastard! if there's no one stopping trump from breaking law then there's no one stopping anyone else from arresting trump for breaking the law! the ENTIRE democratic party needs to storm the goddamned Whitehouse, or whatever trump resort trump happens to be at, and make a citizens arrest! just throwing your hands in the air and saying - oh well! - isn't solving the problem!

  1167. and there remains NO mention of trump revoking the net neutrality laws? since its end the internet AND YOUTUBE has bombarded us with MASS pro-corporate and capitalist lies and propaganda through MASS commercialization and business fraud. "independent" get-rich hucksters, stock-market investment frauds, con-artists, profiteers, thieves and liars have TAKEN over every web-site imaginable. news, entertainment, retail and even PORN websites are now inundated with crass and dishonest commercialism! every few months or weeks youtube increases the number of commercials. their frequency and LENGTH!

  1170.  @robertl.fallin7062  ... YES! you got it. institutions like corporations, govt, churches, etc. aren't REAL! they're mere abstractions. corporations, govt and churches are nothing but PEOPLE! they can't exist or function on their own. THEY NEED PEOPLE to create them and make them function. so the corrupt, vile and predatory nature of these institutions is an illusion. its not the institutions, themselves, that are "evil" or corrupt. its the PEOPLE who administer these institutions who corrupt them and their blind, conformist minions who carry out the corrupt orders of their employers who make these institutions so unjust. the philosophy of equalism has a saying - the elite DON'T oppress us. we oppress each other and call it employment. the oligarchs PAY us to do their bidding and carry out their demands. they hire us to HURT one another. they pit us against each other for our daily survival.

  1171. what's most disturbing is that I KEEP finding people who reflect equalism's philosophy. a recognition and  rejection of the corruption from the elite on the right AND left. for the last 3 years I've found  between 3 and 10 a day! I reach out to them and let them know they aren't alone. in fact, there's now a philosophy JUST FOR US! I invite them to watch my channel and join OUR movement. and 9 out of ten COMPLETELY ignore me! why do these people CHOOSE to stay alone? why do they refuse to UNITE and help WAKE UP the world? this is very perplexing. I don't understand.

  1173. +Sylvia... YES, but replace rich "whites" with the elite and you have equalism's basic philosophy. the elite keep us in a perpetual state of conflict and division so THEY maintain power. we must start seeing the world, each other AND OURSELVES differently. and I founded a philosophy that allows us to do just that.  its called equalism and I've devoted my entire channel to explain its VERY simple principles. watch one of my latest videos - "equalism 132: How to Become Awake; The Equalist Pledge" -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYw7HYfNKNs&feature=youtu.be - join the equalist movement, help spread the word and let's fix this mess the elite have made for us! ALL NON-PREDATORS ARE WELCOME!

  1174. +Nicole... very well stated. these are my sentiments too. they also like murdering animals in the wild with these "sport" weapons but its not very sporting to sneak up on an unsuspecting animal and blow its head off. these gun worshippers continually claim they need their gins for protection against govt tyranny but they actually support and defend the business and elitist tyranny that enslaves us all! and i've yet to see any of them use their weapons against our fascist govt. uuummm, I guess fascists don't want protection from other fascists.

  1175. what do you expect from a country and a citizenry that allows a colossally incompetent gangster like trump to illegally take control of OUR govt in the first place! where were - ARE - the protests? the riots? as far as i'm concerned the U. S. is getting EXACTLY what it deserves! the problem is - I'M SUFFERING AND I DON'T DESERVE IT! these checks they're going to hand out - I WON'T GET MINE! I've been DENIED EVERY stimulus check EVER OFFERED by the U. S. govt! millions of poor WON'T get their MONEY! covid-19 PROVES just how badly we've needed a revolution in the last 4 - 50 years! but americans were just TOO complacent and apathetic.

  1176. i'm not too sure about the civil war scenario. the oligarchs want a big, SINGLE oppressive corporate state not several smaller oppressive corporate states. I think its much more likely our rulers want civil unrest but won't let the country disintegrate or break up. and they'll use that unrest as an excuse to invoke even greater restrictions on our civil liberties. the REAL threat we face isn't a civil war but THE POLICE STATE that the elite have already begun to implement not only in the U. S. but globally. the 2 greatest threats humanity faces RIGHT NOW are the police state and climate change. and the civil unrest caused by our continued ignoring of climate change will result in even MORE INTRUSIVE police state measures to be enacted. why else would the world's corporate and political "leaders" be ignoring climate change? they want the chaos that'll ensue because it'll give them the rationale to further restrict our freedoms. AND PEOPLE WILL APPLAUD THESE EFFORTS!

  1177.  @sandrahilton9122  … well, that's what said. they'll take it all. the elite WON'T allow this country to be broken up. its to their advantage to keep it whole; to keep it one giant UNITED corporate police state rather than several smaller independent ones.

  1179. we got black americans who want america to be a black ethno-state. so, its ok for minorities to want this but not for whites? when you keep bragging about how whites will be a minority in our country in about 30 years - OF COURSE, this going to SCARE THE HELL OUT OF A LOT OF PEOPLE! only a damned brainwashed fool want's to become a minority in their own COUNTRY! all you gotta do is talk to the minorities we have today to see how HORRIBLE minority status REALLY IS! we don't want a black majority, or a hispanic one or a muslim one! we're not even doing too good with a damned white majority! i swear the absurdities, the hypocrisies MUST END! and it ends when we stop, AND REVERSE, the flood of illegals coming into our country. this influx is pushing whites AND blacks out of their own country. no country in history has ever survived a mass influx of foreign intrusions. they ALWAY lead to a downfall of society. but this what the fascist left seems to EMBRACE! i don't want the disintegration and collapse of my country. I WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER AND MORE JUST FOR ALL ITS CITIZENS! not just minorities. you "leftists" are pushing for your own demise. the fascist "right" is too. YOU'RE ALL BONKERS!

  1180. ... i'll argue the corporate state has been placed in solid control of the planet since the thatcher/Reagan eras when Milton friedman's laissez-faire economic model was instituted to replace the Keynesian economic model. the world's corporate elite have been buying politicians and forcing friedman's economic on the world ever since. in fact ALL foreign assistance is predicated on the condition that the receiving country adopt the corporate-state. any country that goes against this mandate is ether designated a terrorist, rogue nation, politically isolated, economically sanctioned or militarily attacked. or all of the above.

  1181.  @jimmonroe8940 … yep, and this illiterate group are all flag-waving, white nationalist trump supporting morons that reduce every argument to ridiculous chants and phrases like - MAGA, "lock her up," "send-them-back," and "USA, USA." we AREN'T a republic by any stretch of the imagination. we're an oligarchy, a corporate-police-state where the elite own and control everything and make all the decisions. debt and wage slavery ARE REAL and the American people possess no more value to these oligarchs accept how much profit they can be exploited to produce for them.

  1182.  @stacey1974  … you're right; to a point. our founding fathers were ALL elitists (they were all rich) but some of them had more respect for democracy than others. Hamilton represented those who wanted an aristocracy or a very strong centralized "LEADER" to head the govt. while Jefferson represented those who desired a more egalitarian approach. Madison, the main architect of the constitution, worked out somewhat of a compromise. but that so-called compromise was quickly corrupted as the elite maneuvered through the states and the courts to solidify elitist control of this country. and after 250 years the result has led up to trump, a criminal, billionaire, taking over the govt, totally disregarding and violating the constitution and doing as he please. lastly, business regulation is for the PROTECTION of the people against elitist abuses of labor, consumers and the environment. they equalize society, at least to some extent, and, generally speaking, bring the U. S. closer to true democracy. the elite despise regulation because it interferes with their profits and absolute authority over society.

  1184. lies abound from both the right and the left. the right lie when they claim illegal immigrants are mostly low-lifes and criminals. the left lie as they depict them all as angels and victims. the left lie when they claim gender doesn't really exist, can be changed at will or through surgical butchery and is a choice. the right lie when they say gender dysphorics aren't entitled to any rights, security or protections from harassment or violence. the dems lie as they claim to represent the American worker and the GOP lie as they claim to represent individualism. the left and right media propagate the lies of pro-corporate propaganda and the military and prison industrial complexes. the democratic party and the GOP both lie as they protect elitist privilege and status and more and more concentrated wealth and power. the elite on both sides lie as they promote and implement the technological police-state, the surveillance society, the cashless economy, militarized police and corporate and govt secrecy. and the media on both sides lie as much by what they the news they don't cover as by the news they do cover. fraud, misrepresentation, fire-hosing and astroturfing have become standard political strategies as integrity, honesty and ethics have become meaningless and unpracticed concepts. fascism has taken over the world. meanwhile the people are more confused, suspicious and stressed as ever. we just don't know what to believe or who to trust anymore.

  1186. that's a sad reality is it not? maybe we should concentrate on educating people in empathy and ethics. most of us are taught to be kind when we're kids but unfortunately our "adult" society isn't based on the golden rule. we MUST first create a society that DOESN'T reward apathy, cruelty and greed.

  1187. @Els Sinderdinck I love your comment. YES, it can be done. the question remains - will it be done? this is the result of a fascist process that began 40 years ago with Reagan. things have been methodically deteriorating ever since. and trump is, apparently, the conclusion of the process. the next and final step is being taken RIGHT NOW! we're witnessing the dismantling of the division of powers and our constitutional government before our very eyes. and no steps are being taken to stop it!

  1188. @Els Sinderdinck … the dems have about a 2 million majority over the GOP in national membership. so how do they keep losing elections and control of the senate? why isn't the dem elite raising hell about this discrepancy? i'm no democrat but you'd think they'd be more adamant about exposing this corruption. and then they keep pushing crazy, nonsensical issues like they're trying to lose votes. and when they do gain office they act more like republicans than democrats. the dems RIGHT NOW could be organizing and funding a resistance movement, protests, civil disobedience and even confrontation not unlike the civil rights, anti-war and abortion rights movements of the 60's. why aren't they? its because the dems AND the left in general have become part of the problem.
    1
  1189. @Els Sinderdinck … what I do know is that the reasonable, non-predatory people on the left and right OUTNUMBER the fanatical and predatory people on both sides! and they damned well better begin to recognize their common interests and UNITE and do it real damned soon. that's why I founded equalism. a new and innovative social movement DESIGNED SPECIFICALL to fight the fascism on the left and right so we can awaken from this fascist nightmare that's been slowly taking over the world in the last 40 years!

  1190. isn't that odd? back when this video was posted the dems all favored national healthcare. NOW,, as of august 2019, however, during the last 4, recent, democratic debates ALL but 2 candidates denounce national healthcare as undoable, too expensive, too radical and "socialist." all but sanders and warren have adopted the GOP anti-healthcare hysteria and have been bought and corrupted by the private insurance industry. what a difference a few months make uh?

  1191. there's nothing wrong with the 13 star flag. but our flag shouldn't be for sale and used for profiteering enterprises. but only in the U. S. is a damned stupid piece of cloth more important than what that piece of cloth is supposed to represent. screw the flag, the screw the fascist states of America, screw the corporate, elitist states of America and SCREW TRUMP! who, his entire life, has represented the anthesis of what MY country is supposed to stand for. screw the spineless democratic party, screw the fascist GOP, screw the elitist gay lobby that, with its BS "trans-gender fascism," has done as much to divide this country as the NRA and the evangelicals. screw the anti-abortion bigots, the pro-poverty morons, the profit-over-people twits and the ant-labor idiots and the millionaire labor leaders. screw the big business AND the big govt advocates and those on both sides who sit back and do NOTHING as the police-state tightens its strangle-hold on humanity. and screw the climate-change deniers as environmental disaster looms ever nearer. is there really anything to proud of in this country anymore! I WANT SANITY TO RETURN and I WANT MY FREEDOM!
    1
  1192. yep, i hope garland, biden and harris are proud of themselves for not taking trump's threats seriously. waiting OVER 2 years to try a traitor for treason was a HORRIBLE DECISION! trump is a dictator. he's not trying to be or leaning in that direction - TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! history has shown that once fascism takes hold of a society its IMPOSSIBLE to remove it peaceably. this is the fault of the fascists themselves. THEY WON'T surrender power voluntarily. they must be FORCED OUT OF POWER. of course if law enforcement, the courts and military didn't sell out democracy removing fascists from power wouldn't be that difficult. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP FASCISM WITHOUT FORCE is by not letting it take over in the first place. our american democratic institutions have already failed us in this respect. this is why fascists ALWAYS take over the police and the military first... then the courts... then the news media. then anti-fascist citizens begin to disappear in the middle of the night and then right out in public! you wanna stop fascism? it takes a life-long, personal, committment. you must dedicate your life to it. sadly, the "left" in the u. s. today is almost as fascist as the "right." "maga" and "woke" are BOTH fascist. but trump's the deciding factor here. TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! and he must be removed and imprisoned by any means necassary.

  1193. @Judith Mirville ... you make good sense. but i consider myself an equalist, a TRUE progressive, not what passes as "progressive" these days. as an equalist i accept the modernization of political and economic thought. i reject the 19th century concepts that're still embraced by the left and right today. equalism simplifies EVERYTHING! we understand that complication DIVIDES while simplification UNITES! and we use our own terminology. we see society divided not into 7 classes, as the elite tell us. but only into 2 classes - the elite and everyone else. and everyone else are the COMLEN! so we reject terms like "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" as divisive and counter productive in the 21st century. we also divide political and economic thought into two camps - predatory and non-predatory. ALL predators are fascists and ALL non-predators are equalists. a fascist is anyone who wishes to dominate another and force compliance and conformity to their beliefs. equalism says - how do you expect the whole world to change but not be willing to change yourself? WE MUST ALL CHANGE to unite and make a better world for everyone. there's more to equalism than this but this is a basic overview. join the equalism movement and help bring philosophical thought into the 21st century to meet the needs of 21st century problems. what do you think?

  1194. minimum wage does contribute to inflation. but its not the only factor. basic income and minimum wage both face the same problems. they're both in a constant state of "catch up" with inflation. every time wages increase the elite raise prices to counter it. and they counter it to maintain - even increase - they're profit margins. so, although ideas like MW or UBI may help, they're not the solution to anything because they're in a perpetual need of adjustment. and, when an adjustment is proposed, by the time the proposal is passed it always falls short of what's needed. this type of legislation is designed to be a minute late and a dollar short. this is a capitalist solution and there are NO capitalist solutions to capitalist problems. in fact MW and UBI are the capitalists dream because they give them the excuse to raise prices, fuel inflation and increase profits even further.

  1195.  @MimeticMimic  … for some reason the internet is inundated with idiots, like our friend fletch here, who're completely incapable of leaving a comment without trying to insult and belittle others. they mistakenly believe their anonymity on the internet gives them license to be the biggest a-holes possible. who raised these people? where'd they come from? humanity is moving BACKWARDS in EVERY respect. technology is even removing common decency from humanity and replacing it with a common amorality, disrespect and deterioration of empathy.
    1
  1196. … and there's a link between this rise in technology and inflation. its a matter of historical perspective. American's seem to despise historical perspectives. our elite refuse to apply the lessons of history to contemporary situations which is why america seems to NEVER actually progress. people don't realize this but for about 6000 years civilization's inflation rate was set at about 1-3% - A CENTURY! where there was no civilization there was NO INFLATION! then, after the "industrial revolution" began, the 19 century experienced an inflation rate of about 5-7%. as national banking systems, like the "Fed", have been thrown into the mix, here in america we NOW suffer from an inflation rate of about 1-5% - A YEAR! technological industrialization, consumerism and materialism has been at the forefront of enslaving humanity through perpetual hyper-inflation, wage and debt slavery and through the dependence on and addiction to the technology itself - much of which contain police-state applications within the technology itself. the elite, in only 3 short generations, by targeting the 8-15 year old demographic from each generation, have convinced us that over-priced PRODUCTS and immediate and material gratification are more important than personal privacy, human rights and freedom! humanity is screwed if we can't convince the youth of the next few generations of the BIG LIE being perpetrated on the world RIGHT NOW! in 20 years it'll be TOO LATE! if we don't wake-up, and real damned soon, our dystopian future is just right around the corner.

  1197. this may be a plan but it ain't trump's plan. he's not smart enough to devise such an intricate strategy. he's doing what his puppet masters tell him.  which is why they pit him in white house in the first place. which is why they only gave us 2 choices of criminals for "president." the elite own the world. that's what all this global debt is for. they own the debt they own YOU! when they pull the strings the world's politicians jump and we suffer.

  1198. it doesn't have to be like this. WAKE UP and stop playing their game! join the equalism movement and we WILL UNITE and remove the elite, and their police state, from power!

  1199. like trump, his cult wears their fascism and racism like badges of honor and then hide them in perpetual denial whenever they're pointed out. this is a relatively new tactic used by fascists. they used to proclaim their hatred with pride but now they deny it to hide their true fascist intent. because if they ever admitted their fascism people would stop supporting them in droves. the GOP has been hiding their true fascist intent under the guise of "patriotism" since the Reagan era.

  1200. the question is - who keeps giving trump's family this enormous and unprecedented air time? never in the history of this country has a politician's family been so visible in the media and allowed to represent the "administration" or govt in an OFFICIAL capacity. why hasn't anyone ever condemned this insane anomaly. why isn't trump impeached yet? why is this criminal buffoon and his criminal buffoon family still being allowed to prance around like they OWN THIS COUNTRY?
    1
  1201.  @alabamamothman2986  … the GOP and the trump cult don't really believe "all lives matter." they deny the poor medical care and housing and require the middle-class to drown themselves in crippling debt just to stat afloat. so the term "all lives matter" was a ruse, a PR slogan in an attempt to smear the "black lives matter" movement. the next time you hear the phrase - black lives matter - just add a "too" to the end of it. that's all they're saying. anyone interested is invited to watch my video - "Do Black Lives Really Matter?"
    1
  1202. since when does trump give a damn what medical experts say? oh right. since HE became sick. what a disgusting excuse for a human being! there are NO concerns for trump's health. only for his incompetent and corrupt administration. trump has killed over 200,000 americans and gotten millions more sick with his criminally inadequate response to this global health crisis. now he's infected HIMSELF and we're supposed to feel... what? we're supposed to feel sorry for a mass murderer who got himself exposed to a deadly virus through his own apathy and stupidity. i ain't gonna do that. sympathy must be EARNED and trump demonstrates no sympathy for all the lives he's ruined and people his victimized for over 45 years! i don't care if he lives or dies. all i care about is that he's removed from the whitehouse that he also didn't earn and faces criminal prosecution for the atrocities he's committed!
    1
  1203. you're invited to watch my youtube channel. its entirely dedicated to the philosophy i founded called "equalism." its quite unique. it identifies fascism as ANY act of predation or domination. fascism is as much a character trait as it is a political ideology. and equalism is a rejection of the fascism that now permeates both the right and left. its intent is to UNITE the non-fascists on both sides against their common enemy; the elite who divide us and enslave us all. check it out if you wish, start with "equalism 101." its an adequate overview of equalism.

  1204. btw... NON-racist but stricter immigration requirements and enforcement of the immigration laws is a good thing not a bad thing. but we don't want a damned wall nor do we support race hatred. we equalists just demand a more sane approach to this immigration insanity that the elite, themselves, actually caused and profit from.

  1205. I AM EXTREMELY ILL! I'M IN DESPERATE NEED OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE! but i've been denied treatment for my condition for OVER TEN YEARS! for too many reasons to list here, I FEAR even asking for medical care now! why keep seeking care when i'm just DENIED over and over again! instead of finding excuses to help people, our society is set up to find excuses to DENY people help! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! I NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION NOW!

  1206. the U. S. is, RIGHT NOW, a police state. yet because it immerged slowly, being sold incrementally to the young of each, next, generation, the youth accepted it, blindly, thinking it was normal and even desirable technological "progress" so many of the youth of today are so conditioned since birth they don't even recognize their slavery to the elite!. they see it as the natural order of things. I dedicate my ENTIRE channel to this complacent apathy. but I offer solutions. its called equalism.

  1207. slavery is what we have now and have always had. a $15 an hour wage isn't going to change that. in a year we'll need $18. the year after that $20. inflation is designed to keep us behind and in a perpetual state of playing "catch up." that's how capitalism works.
    1
  1208. maybe we should stop calling it "minimum wage" and start calling it a "livable wage' or "human-dignity wage" or a "real-value-based wage." we must remember slavery DOESN'T mean working for nothing. slaves got housing, clothes, food and even medical care provided for them. slavery means human bondage, dependence. its a development of a CLASS of people with NO RIGHTS, NO PROTECTIONS and NO RESPECT! there's wage slavery, debt slavery. there's slavery to the private sector and to the public sector. there's slavery to business and to govt. you can be a slave to govt programs as well as to an employer. you want to end slavery? stop perpetuating the LIE that socialism advocates big govt and govt programs. socialism, IS IN FACT, a social system where govt programs AREN'T needed for daily survival.

  1209.  @mahlina1220  … i'm afraid I really liked your response. *oh dear. what do you think of this?.... i'm not too sure about the civil war scenario. the oligarchs want a big, SINGLE oppressive corporate state not several smaller oppressive corporate states. I think its much more likely our rulers want civil unrest but won't let the country disintegrate or break up. and they'll use that unrest as an excuse to invoke even greater restrictions on our civil liberties. the REAL threat we face isn't a civil war but THE POLICE STATE that the elite have already begun to implement not only in the U. S. but globally. the 2 greatest threats humanity faces RIGHT NOW are the police state and climate change. and the civil unrest caused by our continued ignoring of climate change will result in even MORE INTRUSIVE police state measures to be enacted. why else would the world's corporate and political "leaders" be ignoring climate change? they want the chaos that'll ensue because it'll give them the rationale to further restrict our freedoms. AND PEOPLE WILL APPLAUD THESE EFFORTS!

  1212. unfortunately, because the U. S. education system is so backward and inefficient, i must say this again, the soviets and Chinese were NEVER socialist or communist. it has NOTHING to do with the name of any goddamned political party. in the U. S. do the republicans practice or promote republicanism or the democrats democracy? socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it, actually have a definition. by definition they completely reject and denounce social hierarchies, privilege and monetary systems. so mr. smith, like so many other confused and brainwashed people, are either purposely misapplying socialism in order to demonize it or they're demonizing it through pure stupidity or gullibility. we have way too many people on the right and left who have no idea what socialism, capitalism, democracy and fascism really are. and this is what's truly scary.

  1213. what so many people don't realize is that your country's interests and your interest are the same. your self interests are best protected when everyone's self interest is protected. I posted series of videos some time ago on this very subject. watch - "equalism 121a - c: Free-Marketism Defined" at this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHSHUdrzO6Q - to discover that capitalism and free-marketism have, in reality, nothing to do with one another. wake up, join the equalism movement, wake up others, UNITE and lets fix this mess the sociopathic elite have made for us.

  1214. cops aren't the people you want disobeying the law, like the cops in Washington state. its their JOB to uphold the law and protect people's rights. every time they frame someone, commit perjury, beat suspects, make false arrests and commit murder they're violating the law. cops are just another form of gangster with their own code of silence. and if these cops hated the war on drugs so much it was their obligation to join in the efforts to get the laws changed. but it was the cops who insisted in making the laws "tougher" and the punishments more severe. and mack's claim that the "left" commit the most violent acts contradicts the CLEASR evidence; fascists commit far more violent acts than the left. and its the fascists who've threatened civil wat over the last 2 and half years if their demands aren't met. mack is right about one thing. the left has a problem with free speech. but so does the right! both sides try to silence the other side. and its the right that hides and misrepresents themselves through constant astro-turfing; the disguising of corporate pursuits as grass-roots efforts in order to hide the true goal of an org. I denounce the corruption and absurdities of both sides but the left is clearly less violent and more honest in its methods.

  1215. increase their number but DECREASE their time on the bench. we don't want them elected nor to have life-long appointments. this life-long appointment nonsense is utter crap. it can be worked out where each president is allowed 2 appointments during their tenure. at 15 year intervals 2 judges can be replaced every 5 years. or something like that. rich people DESPISE simple and elegant solutions. they want things as complicated and convoluted as possible. complication causes social conflict and conflict makes them RICHER and keeps them in power.

THIS FASCISM MUST BE STOPPED! its happening all around us just like in hitler's germany, stalin's Russia, Mussolini's Italy, mao's china and franco's spain! its happening right now, TODAY, in the U. S., right before our eyes AND WE MUST STOP IT!

  1217. doesn't anyone remember back when kim jong-un and trump were exchanging insults via twitter? that's trump's idea of diplomacy and foreign relations. then, suddenly, they both began to act as if they're best of friends. since the Spanish American war U. S. foreign policy has been based up "gunboat" diplomacy and supporting, so-called, murderous, anti-socialist, fascist regimes. and yes, not just trump but the GOP is based upon these same fascist principles of strong (and corrupt) centralized power. you know, authoritarianism. barr has stated emphatically that he believes in an authoritarian office of president. this is what executive orders, executive privilege and not indicted a sitting president is all about. this is what circumventing congress and defying congressional subpoenas at will is all about. the corporate elite want a fascist state to enforce their will and that's PRECISELY what we're allowing them to get!

  1218. things weren't all cherries and cheesecake before reagan but he opened the flood gates to the complete corporate takeover of the U. S. and things have snow balled for the worse ever since. he instigated greenspan's insane "trickle-down" economics" which has ruled, corrupted and ruined domestic policy (and world economics) ever since. his influence has led to the removal of the glass-steagall act, the creation of the patriot act and the "citizen's united" decision. and since his holding office both wealth discrepancies and the police state have EXPLODED! he was an elitist shill no different than trump - EXCEPT reagan was a puppet of the elite but trump IS a member of the elite.

  1219. kinda makes you wonder what trump and the American elite has done and how much money they've spent in helping keep putin in power. that's why trump, the American elite, putin and the russian elite all like each other so much; they're very much alike - corrupt as hell - and help each other stay in power.

I read same argument from the republicans and trump supporters - the other side's corrupt but my side is pure and without fault. BOTH major parties are corrupt. hell, most of minor parties probably are too. the whole system is pro-elitist. all the politicians kowtow to the elite who fund their campaigns and keep them in office. if you haven't figured that out yet i'm here to WAKE YOU UP to the realities of the world.

  1226. trump lied on the VERY first day of his sham campaign when he hired 100's of actors to pose as he support. and he's been lying everyday since. trump's BIGGEST LIE is that he was elected president and that he's the legitimate U. S. president. and this is a lie being reinforced ad nauseum EVERYTIME ANY IDIOT calls him president! TRUMP ISN'T THE LEGAL PRESIDENT AND ITS DAMNED TIME WE STOP CALLING HIM THAT!

  1227. the dems and the left in general need to stop pandering to illegal immigrants who can't even vote and the delusional gender dysphorics who actually harm the cause of gay rights. claiming gender is a choice, that men have a right to use women's bathrooms and that men can compete against women in sports is absolute INSANITY. both these issues scare the hell out of people, don't represent true progressivism and actually INCREASES fascism and hatred. when the dems abandon this divisive nonsense and return to their TRADITIONAL positions - labor rights, minority rights, women's rights, gay rights, consumer rights, environmental protections and economic justice - then you'll start seeing democratic and green party victories engulf the American political landscape.

  1228.  @antifazisbonifaz6964  ... i'm not sure I understand your comment. are you saying being predatory and amoral are acceptable if it accomplishes an ethical end? this is like saying "fight fire with fire" and "the end justifies the means." I disagree with both concepts. you don't fight fascism with fascism. you don't respond to trickery and fraud with more trickery and fraud. you don't lower yourself to the level of your adversaries. that makes you no better than they. did I interpret your comment correctly?

  1231.  @antifazisbonifaz6964  I definitely agree with you about trump, putin or Xi. their all spineless little weasels. but there are violent warriors and non-violent warriors. khan, cortez and napoleon were all warmongers and tyrants. they slaughtered people in pursuit of their own glory. then there's the non-violent warriors like Gandhi and martain luther king. these people fight for what's right but leave no trails of blood in their wake. yes, in a sense the world needs warriors but it depends on what their fighting for and trying to achieve. it may sound like a contradiction but its not - FIGHTING for peace, justice and human rights is always a noble cause.

  1233. uummm, cigarettes don't cause cancer. there's absolutely no evidence of it. why is "correlation isn't causation" just to be applied when it meets your political agenda? this is just one of the countless lies fire-hosed by the leftist elite for the last 60 years. the elite on the right spend their time fire-hosing their own lies; like industrial pollution and environmental poisoning doesn't cause cancer. and to answer your title question: HELL YES DAMN IT! IMPEACH TRUMP! he's a career criminal. I know why the dems refuse to impeach this imbecile. do you?

  1234. why is the mueller "report" being kept a secret? why was much of the "investigation" done in secret? why was the investigation limited to ONLY the possibility of Russian collusion? why were so many convicted of lying to investigators and why did they feel the need to lie? why the hell was trump so damned anxious during all of this? i'm more convinced now than ever that putin was directly involved, along with Russian and American big business and oligatchs, in getting trump illegally placed into the white house. all you gotta do is ask the right questions and hear that buffoon trump brag, now, about his ABSOLUTE, UNDOUBTED "exoneration" and you'll be convinced like me! i suggest you watch this BEFORE deciding poor; little trump was falsely accused of Russian collusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79gJB9iUqkM&list=WL&index=144&t=0s -

  1237. this guy's just regurgitating the same old NRA dictated fascist arguments. law enforcement demonstrate more loyalty to the NRA and fascist ideology than they do to the rule of law. cops on a local, state and federal level enforce the laws as they choose anyway. and our politicians, through corporate corruption, have allowed our "law enforcement" to be taken over by a hard-core, extremist fascist element. the acceptance to fascist principles has become a litmus test to become a cop. its all a part of the required "character" profiling all cops are subjected to before even being allowed to be considered for a job as a cop.

  1240. cop depts are fascist organizations. mostly, only fascists want to be cops and only fascists are allowed to become cops. its a completely fascist culture where unfettered corruption, busting heads and abusing authority is all part of the appeal. and "good" cops are called rats and traitors, then chastised and drummed out. reality 101: protests and revolutions, both peaceful and violent, have been occurring for over 6000 years! and little has changed during that time. humanity remains ruled by a corrupt and unethical elite. there's ONLY one way to change the world - and that's to change yourself! you start living as though the revolution has already succeeded. reject the system, stop participating in it, lead by example and encourage others to join you. that's the WHOLE point of equalism. but the elite, on the left and right, WON'T ALLOW ME TO SHARE equalism's message. so join me in the equalism movement, spread the word and LET'S CHANGE THIS DAMNED, GODFORSAKEN WORLD!

  1241. actually, traditionally speaking, presidents will seek and choose "moderate" nominees to the federal bench to assure satisfaction from both parties. trump, with the help of the GOP blew that tradition all to hell. they wanted the courts to be BIASED to their advantage. and they got their illegal wish. its the GOP who made adding justices to the supreme court necessary. if mcconnel and the rest of the GOP didn't commit hypocrisy, situational ethics and fraud to deny obama his legal choices for the federal bench and then allow trump additional nominees during his illegal presidency then we wouldn't be in the god awful mess we're in. mcconnell said it himself - he was turning the senate into a MACHINE for churning out "conservative" judges to the federal bench. he refused to bring 100's of bills to a senate vote just to make the time to achieve this goal. of course it was illegal. BUT, LIKE TRUMP, NO ONE STOPPED HIS FRAUD. why are politicians, and the rich that they work for, NEVER held to account for their crimes?

  1242. increase their number but DECREASE their time on the bench. we don't want them elected nor to have life-long appointments. this life-long appointment nonsense is utter crap. it can be worked out where each president is allowed 2 appointments during their tenure. at 15 year intervals 2 judges can be replaced every 5 years. or something like that. rich people DESPISE simple and elegant solutions. they want things as complicated and convoluted as possible. complication causes social conflict and conflict makes them RICHER and keeps them in power.

  1243.  The Resistance  … its frightening as hell. i'd like to take this opportunity to clarify 2 points I made. 1) trump hasn't stopped campaigning. every rally he holds and every tweet he posts is a campaign stunt. yet the media continues to cover these campaign stunts for free ad nauseum. just like they gave trump more free air time than virtually all the other candidates combined. trump pretends to hate the corporate news media but he knows they're his biggest ally.
    1
  1244.  The Resistance  … 2) its easy to fix the electoral college. there's no need to rig the ENTIRE election. all you need do is rig a few key districts in key states. trump "won" through claiming only 70,000 more votes than Clinton in 3 key states. she got 3 million more general votes but "lost" against trump's 70,000 vote advantage in these key states. that's how easy it is to rig ANY election. just strategically corrupt a few voting machines or suppress voters in the right areas and - voila! the elite have won again! and btw; i'm no Clinton supporter. she's a crook. but i'm just stating facts.
    1
  1245. well, yes, trump stole the 2016 election. not only did the mueller report prove this but also many other acts of voter suppression and intimidation were reported. but its a great a point by dr. Frank about trump's projecting that admission now in 2020. REMEMBER. trump claimed voter fraud in 2016 and he was declared THE WINNER! he claimed voter in 2020 MONTHS before the election. claiming fraud is just a common trump strategy. HE MUST ALWAYS PLAY THE VICTIM! hitler did this too.

  1246. what astounds me is that these racist anti-immigrants support trump but helped make an illegal immigrant  first lady. is it really possible for anyone to be that stupid? trump ISN'T president! that entire election cycle was a fraud. trump lost the popular vote but there's NO WAY he could've received the number of votes that he did. there's no way he's receiving support in the numbers we're being told. this entire trump thing is a test being conducted by the elite to see just how much political corruption they can commit - right out in the open- before the american people actually stand up! SO STAND UP! this could be your last chance to do so before the police state is fully implemented.

  1248. when you have a "two party" political system and one of those parties becomes treasonous and corrupt and represnt the dismantling or the destruction of the republic, you have only two choices. either let them or declare the treasonous party illegal. ever since nixon the GOP has become less democratic, more deceitful, more anti-human rights, more corrupt, and more criminal. they are the party of fraud, obstruction and cover-up. meanwhile, over the last 50 years the dems have DONE NOTHING to stop that party from becoming the party of traitors. in fact, over the years they've become MORE like the GOP! i guess watergate, instead of being a major step in removing corruption from govt, was actually the beginning of the end of this country. who'd a thunk it? what did germany do after wwll? they criminalized the nazi party and as a result experienced nearly a century of growth and unity. i suggest we damned well better declare the GOP the criminal, corrupt organization that they are and start rounding up these traitors and throwing them in prison OR we WON'T have a country in 5 or 10 years. and putin, xi and the rest of the damned global and american fascists will have gotten their way AGAIN!

  1249. its called a "mob mentality." and it has nothing to do with human nature. its a CORRUPTION of our true nature. through 6000 years of constant conditioning the elite has created a mentally ill HUMANITY! we've been brainwashed and conditioned to be predatory, violent, deceitful and GULLIBLE! the oligarchs have conditioned us to automatically respond to certain stimuli in a certain manner like "Pavlov's dog!" its called a "knee jerk" response and we've been conditioned for 1000's of years to JERK respond to certain buzz words, imagery and social settings like crowds. WE'RE CONDITIONED TO DO WHAT THE CROWD DOES! it has nothing to do with human nature.

  1251. since EVEN BEFORE stealing the Whitehouse trump has committed a barrage of impeachable offenses. INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO - telling over 12,000 documented lies to mislead the public, paying paid actors to pose as his support at the launch of his campaign, paying hush money to 2 women during his campaign to keep silent about HIS affairs, using Russian assistance to illegally win an election and then obstructing that investigation, ordering staff and appointees to disobey and ignore legal subpoenas, seminating doctored videos of political opponents, using irresponsible rhetoric to incitie violence against minorities, 4 U. S. congresswomen and a witness against Kavanaugh, circumventing congress, declaring false "national emergencies" to circumvent congress, misappropriation of military funds in defiance of congressional legislation, self financial gain from verbally advertising his hotels and resorts while in office and encouraging the military, his staff and foreign govts to use them as well, covering up SECRET in-person and phone discussions with foreign leaders and officials and using a top secret govt data base to do so, inciting a civil war (more than once) - and now the whole Ukrainian thing. IMPEACH TRUMP NOW - before he can do anymore harm to OUR country!

  1256. we not only need term limits but age limits. trump, Pelosi, mcconnell, biden, sanders and warren are ALL well into their 70's. so govt is the only place where a 70 year old can find gainful employment? these are all govt and corporate lifers. NO MORE lifers determining the direction of our country and running our lives. and this includes the supreme court where 12 or 15 year limits would be ideal. right now our entire social system, the public and private sectors, has been ruled by the SAME people for 50, 60 years. corporations are just a revolving door where rich people bounce around from corporation to corporation, they sit on the boards of numerous corporations and institutions simultaneously. and these SAME elite are in and out of the govt revolving door as lobbyists, advisors, policy makers and appointed offices. you wanna know why nothing changes? one reason is that the people making the decisions never change! there is no differentiation between public and private sector anymore because its the same private sector elite ruling BOTH! the U. S. govt is just another corporation; a subsidiary of the Fortune 100!

  1257. you just described fascism. its stated in Schindlers List very plainly. its where you can be punished for doing the right thing, for following the law and doing what you're told. there's NO set of definative rules to follow. everything is arbitrary and corrupt. this creates confusion, suspicion, mistrusr and FEAR in the popluation the rulers can exploit. THAT'S FASCISM! sadly, few people on earth know what socialism actually is. and many, if not most, self-proclaimed "socialists" fall into this category. socialism ISN'T about taxes, big govt or govt programs. socialism is a UNITED, cooperative and coordinated democratic society where taxes, big govt and govt programs AREN'T needed! its where social responsibility is equated with individual rights. as much as i like mr wolff and appreciate his knowledge of capitalism, and how it fails to work, he's wrong about what defines the intent and goals of socialism. BIG GOVT, like big corporations, is the result of capitalism NOT socialism. govt interference to control the potential ravages of unfettered capitalist fraud and greed is a capitalist construct. because, under capitalism, THE RICH OLIGARCHS, own and operated both the govt and private enterprise. govt protections against capitalist greed and corruption may be better than no protections at all, but they exist to PROP UP and perpetuate capitalist economics and keep the rich in power.

  1258. right on. its all a game. the leadership of each side playing their part. voting in america comes down to - damned if you do. damned if you don't. WE CAN'T WIN! the game is rigged. ACA is a perfect example of letting the GOP corrupt and destroy a dem campaign promise. the GOP and the insurance companies wrote ACA as an alternative to national health care. ACA simply forces every citizen to pay their tribute to the insurance companies. if you refuse to pay - THEY'LL take your money anyway in the form of a fine. ACA is the failure achieved from the dems complete and unquestioned readiness to meet GOP demands when the dems have power. its like they expect the GOP to submit to dem demands when the GOP has power. BUT THEY NEVER DO! when the GOP has power they do want they want. when the dems are in power they do what the GOP wants. sounds kinda suspicious to me. if the right and the GOP won't lead america into fascism the left and the dems will.

  1259.  @josephfuller6229  ... who needs the filibuster when you have dems in charge. biden and his a.g., garland, are NOW protecting trump from his crimes! right now, trump could be charged with over 50 crimes he committed while president. some of them were actually filmed! yet trump remains uncharged and un-arrested. WHY? because for the last 50 years, since nixon, the dems have ALWAYS allowed the GOP to get away with their crimes. the GOP's crimes keep getting more flagrant, blatant and more destructive yet when the dems gain power they DO NOTHING about these crimes. our govt is corrupt through and through. and the dems are every bit as corrupt as the GOP. our country is run by gangsters who protect the rich and power from the crimes they commit on a daily basis.

  1262. its virtually impossible to commit suicide while in custody. my theory is Epstein isn't dead. he's been sprung from prison orchestrated by the likes of trump. Clinton and all the rest of Epstein's deviant elitist buddies. these elite DIDN'T want any kind of trial or testimony to become public record. with the wealth and power these corrupt elite wield Epstein's covert release wouldn't be unprecedented or beyond the realm of probability. hid first suicide attampt was a ruse. to create the belif in the possibility. and from there its simple indeed to merely switch him with a lookalike. who's gonna know and few would even care. it would actually be just as easy as killing him. only a few guards and a few select CIA operatives would need to be involved and the coroner, who never met Epstein, wouldn't know the difference. epstein is probably living it up in the south of france under an assumed name right now. REMEMBER, you heard it here first.

  1263. the problem is the left, the dems are not creating ANY organized or united resistance to this fascist take over of the u. s. take these universities that are bowing to trump's illegal decrees. all they have to is UNITE in a combined effort to support each other when trump's brownshirts come knocking on their door. as it is each of trump's fascist minions attack one institution at a time and they can't afford, individually, to stand up to trump. but if they UNITED they could pool their resources and fight as a COLLECTIVE!

  1265. just trump occupying the white house is treason being that he isn't president and was never duly elected. the coup that put him in the white house was treason and those elite behind the coup committed treason as well. trump actually lost that election to Clinton who lost her primary to sanders. that ENTIRE election cycle was rigged and stinks to high heaven. the question remains; why is this buffoon still being allowed to pretend to be president?

  1266. trump is a dictator. he's not trying to be or leaning in that direction - TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! history has shown that once fascism takes hold of a society its IMPOSSIBLE to remove it peaceably. this is the fault of the fascists themselves. THEY WON'T surrender power voluntarily. they must be FORCED OUT OF POWER. of course if law enforcement, the courts and military didn't sell out democracy removing fascists from power wouldn't be that difficult. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP FASCISM WITHOUT FORCE is by not letting it take over in the first place. our american democratic institutions have already failed us in this respect. this is why fascists ALWAYS take over the police and the military first... then the courts... then the news media. then anti-fascist citizens begin to disappear in the middle of the night and then right out in public! you wanna stop fascism? it takes a life-long, personal, committment. you must dedicate your life to it. sadly, the "left" in the u. s. today is almost as fascist as the "right." "maga" and "woke" are BOTH fascist. but trump's the deciding factor here. TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! and he must be removed and imprisoned by any means necassary.

  1271. as long as the predators continue to corrupt our govt I don't see any of this happening BUT - we need to DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING! NO MORE CORPORATE OR GOVT SECRETS! "national security" is just a catch-all ruse that permits the govt to hide its crimes. and trump is the perfect of example. trump has avoided prison over the last 35 through SECRECY! and he brought that tactic to his so-called campaign and continues it in the Whitehouse. organized crime uses secrecy to its advantage as do serial killers and rapists, child molesters AND the elite and their corporations. what do you think forced arbitration and confidentiality agreements are all about? - keeping secrets and punishing whistleblowers. and trump has forced his entire staff to sign confidentiality agreements. this of course is ILLEGAL! trump keeps secret his taxes, his education records and his business history. he stashes away his conversation with foreign leaders and officials into a TOP-SECRET govt data base. SECRECY AND DEMOCRACY CAN'T CO-EXIST! if you really want freedom and govt and corporate accountability DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING!

  1272. 100% of our tax dollars go to the rich. on occasion some among the lower classes may recieve a benefit too, but the elite ALWAYS profit from every govt program. daca forces us to pay insurance companies for medical care when those same companies drive up medical costs. we're forced to pay the price increases created by the inflation the rich cause. food stamps and medicare are simply subsidies for the rich. the govt merely pays the extrortion demanded by the ruling elite on behalf of those who can't afford to pay the extortion. our tax dollars go towards allowing the elite to pay lowr taxes than us. or they pay no taxes at all and they often get REFUNDS on taxes THEY DON'T PAY! the elite get tax payer money for subsidies, contracts and bailouts although their reckless policies and greed caused the problems in the first place. people continue to suffer at the hands of the ruling elite and those victims are CONSTANTLY required to make their abusers richer. its called capitalism. we're a nation of fools ruled by gangsters.

Pelosi belongs in prison right along side trump as long as she continues to let this maniac who stole the white house act like damned dictator! and now we have the summer congressional recess approaching where all this will be delayed even further and trump will act like even more of a dictator! the dems DON'T need Pelosi to impeach this criminal! so IMPEACH this SOB ALREADY!!

  1279. +Lee... I agree with your point; Trumpism is definitely a cult. but the word you're looking for is "extreme" not radical. the 2 words are no more synonymous than anarchy and chaos. the fascist elite have been purposely misusing these words for decades. the word radical applies exclusively to freedom fighters; anti-fascists. and fighting for human rights is NEVER an extreme position. bur fascists ARE extremists. hitler, Nixon, thatcher, Reagan and trump are extremists not radicals. the elite have spent much time and money misrepresenting these words radical and anarchy (and other things)  because they want us to fear what will free us from them.

  1280. +Steve...you do realize all time is arbitrary don't you? there's no such thing as "real" time. its just a human construct and its perfectly ok to adjust it to best meet human needs. most people prefer daylight savings because it gives us more "evening" daylight. and I agree with them. lets actually do something right for once and change something for the better. once it's adopted as standard time it becomes REAL time.

NO ONE MENTIONS THIS FACT! that $275 million was but a small fraction of musk's wealth. he'll make that money back in a week from interest alone. seeing all those scum billionaires at trump's illegal inaugeration was disgusting. i remember trump lying back in 2015 that he wouldn't accept donations. he was rich enough and didn't need other people's money to fund his campaign. the corruption and fascism of a new american gilded age has begun! btw - TRUMP ISN'T PRESIDENT!

THE ONLY WAY TO STOP FASCISM WITHOUT FORCE is by not letting it take over in the first place. our american democratic institutions have already failed us in this respect. this is why fascists ALWAYS take over the police and the military first... then the courts... then the news media. then anti-fascist citizens begin to disappear in the middle of the night and then right out in public! you wanna stop fascism? it takes a life-long, personal, committment. you must dedicate your life to it. sadly, the "left" in the u. s. today is almost as fascist as the "right." "maga" and "woke" are BOTH fascist. but trump's the deciding factor here. TRUMP IS A DICTATOR! and he must be removed and imprisoned by any means necassary.

  1287. +I agree with you but the problem is even the left misdefine socialism and place WAY to much emphasis on marx, engels and lenin. there's 1000's of other socialist who's ideas are just as valid and probably more workable and contemporary. I think marx was a fine man, misunderstood and too idolatrized by one side and too demonized by the other side.

  1288. not only do poor blacks and whites have more in common than they're told but the middle class has more in common with the entire poor that what they're told. the problem is the modern misconception of social class. the elite has driven into our brains the lie that there are 7 social classes; 1) the elite, 2) the lower upper class, 3) the upper middle class, 4) the middle class, 5) the lower middle class, 6), the poor, 7) the destitute - THIS IS A LIE designed to separate the lower classes and to make the middle class identify with the upper classes more than with the lower classes which they, in fact, have more in common with. this creates the delusion of inherent class superiority. but the middle class are actually just one paycheck or one crisis away from being poor; they'll NEVER be rich but they're very likely to be poor at one time or another. yet, the middle class still identifies with and wishes to emulate the elite despite the fact that they'll NEVER BE a part of the elite. rap culture, with its elitist and greed oriented message, has exacerbated this delusion. rap has done more to corrupt and mislead youth and promote elitist greed than almost anything else. the philosophy of equalism eesolves this elite created misconception of class. THE REALITY IS there's only TWO social classes - the elite and everyone else. and equalism calls everyone else - the comlen. the acceptance of this equalist perception of reality is intended to unite ALL the classes into the single block that they, in fact, are. only when the middle class sees itself as THE LOWER CLASS can the comlen actually unite in the goal of social equality and fix this mess the elite have made for us!

  1289. reagan, like trump, was NEVER the legal president. yet we continue to suffer from reaganomics. it was reagan who invited all those fascist militia groups to join the GOP making it more fascist than it was before. thanks to reagan the GOP has embraced the fascist 'moral majority," the fascist "tea party" and fascist "maga." but GOP's direct link to fascism goes back to the 30s when the party endorsed and praised mussolini and the nazi's and actually pushed for policies to help them both. what good is knowing history - REAL HISTORY - if we never learn from it?

  1291.  @maestrofinchitti9518  ... the story of cain and able wasn't a lesson concerning human nature. it was lesson concerning the corruption of human nature. it says... being expelled from paradise resulted in a corruption of human nature. you want to return to paradise? then reject this corruption!

  1293. its called firehosing. the fascists have been firehosing lies about socialism being synonymous with fascism for over 50 years. and the lies are beginning to STICK! this is about the 50,000th history lesson on youtube i've had to give to trump morons about fascism. NO, hitler wasn't a socialist. the damned nazi's fought the socialists in the streets for years. the concentration camps were originally built, not to contain jews, but to contain communists, socialists, leftists, liberals and journalists. THESE WERE POLITICAL PRISONERS - enemies of the fascist state. you try calling hitler a socialist he'd have you arrested and placed into one of those camps. SO NO, hitler wasn't a socialist. he was a far-right, nationalist, fascist extremist not too different in philosophy than trump. the difference between trump and hitler was that hitler was smart. an a-hole like trump but at least he had some kind of intellectual capacity. trump's just a rambling, bombastic mumbling idiot.

  1294. Mussolini didn't found fascism. he merely gave it a name. fascism is what's ruled humanity over the last 6000 years. fascism is ANY society with an elitist hierarchy. ALL oligarchies, plutocracies and authoritarian and police states are fascist by definition. we have those on the left who don't know what socialism is. we have those on the right who don't know what fascism is. we have those on both sides who don't know what either is. and the uneducated are extremely susceptible to lies and deceit. over the last 20 years the fascists have fire-hosed lies about hitler and fascism being synonymous with socialism. I, now, hear this absurdity about 5 times a day on youtube alone. the fascists are fire-hosing a RE--branding of themselves. by denouncing the word "fascism" and labeling their opposition with the word, they hide they're true intent and principles. they denounce the WORD "fascism" while maintaining its principles and promoting its goals. the fascists are misrepresenting themselves EN MASS and people are falling for it! lying to gain political advantage and power is what fascists do best! THIS IS SERIOUS PEOPLE! fascists are rewriting history and altering reality. they are completely amoral, opportunistic and lacking in ethics and integrity. they believe in seizing power through ANY MEANS! - dirty tricks, underhanded tactics, fraud and force. AND ITS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!

  1295. minimum wage does contribute to inflation. but its not the only factor. basic income and minimum wage both face the same problems. they're both in a constant state of "catch up" with inflation. every time wages increase the elite raise prices to counter it. and they counter it to maintain - even increase - they're profit margins. so, although ideas like MW or UBI may help, they're not the solution to anything because they're in a perpetual need of adjustment. and, when an adjustment is proposed, by the time the proposal is passed it always falls short of what's needed. this type of legislation is designed to be a minute late and a dollar short. this is a capitalist solution and there are NO capitalist solutions to capitalist problems. in fact MW and UBI are the capitalists dream because they give them the excuse to raise prices, fuel inflation and increase profits even further.

  1296. so the impeachment inquiry is a long drawn out process that could take over 6 months or even years. the process gives the house increased authority to enforce subpoenas and obtain evidence. so the question is - why is pelosi protecting trump from this process? lastly, since trump was NEVER legally elected to begin with, its impossible to re-elect him. and since he stole the white house in 2016 and no one has interfered with this theft, what's to stop the elite from helping trump steal another election?

  1297. trump should be arrested for obstruction of justice concerning the mueller probe and for misappropriation of funds when he stole money allocated to the military to build his wall. trump could be brought up on charges RIGHT NOW for 100 hundred crimes while in the white house. why hasn't he? you can still charge him with other crimes later. but when you have half of the politicians in congress who belong to a major political party that despises law and order, the rule of law and the equal application of the law, justice becomes impossible UNLESS you bring down that entire corrupt, rogue party!

  1298. carbon taxes was an idea presented by the oil companies so they could just keep right in polluting and pass the cost of the tax on to the consumer. not only a HORRIBLE IDEA but a total scam! here's a better and more efficient idea. make drilling for, spilling and using gas and oil for fuel a crime and enforce the damned law. stop kowtowing to the elite and doing EVERYTHING they demand. then you globally share - without debt - all the solar, wind and other non-polluting technologies with all other nations AND REDUCE THE HUIMAN brainwashed demand for and dependence on electricity, industrialization and technology. it ain't difficult, it ain't hard - YOU JUST DO THE DAMNED THING!

  1299. we DON'T need hate-crime or anti-lynching laws! we have TOO MANY laws as it is and the ones that protect our rights routinely go unenforced! what we need is the MANDATORY enforcement of the laws that protect us from murder, hate and assault and battery! we need to arrest, prosecute and imprison the cops and D. A.'s that break these laws or refuse to enforce them.

  1300. sadly, few people on earth know what socialism actually is. and many, if not most, self-proclaimed "socialists" fall into this category. socialism ISN'T about taxes, big govt or govt programs. socialism is a UNITED, cooperative and coordinated democratic society where taxes, big govt and govt programs AREN'T needed! its where social responsibility is equated with individual rights. as much as i like mr wolff and appreciate his knowledge of capitalism, and how it fails to work, he's wrong about what defines the intent and goals of socialism. BIG GOVT, like big corporations, is the result of capitalism NOT socialism. govt interference to control the potential ravages of unfettered capitalist fraud and greed is a capitalist construct. because, under capitalism, THE RICH OLIGARCHS, own and operated both the govt and private enterprise. govt protections against capitalist greed and corruption may be better than no protections at all, but they exist to PROP UP and perpetuate capitalist economics and keep the rich in power.

  1301. trump, like a vast majority of the elite, has gotten away with every crime he's committed both before and after he stole the white house. rich people, and their political cronies, pretty much have immunity from punishment from the misery they create and profit from. the elite are actually much more likely to be praised, exalted and rewarded for the misery they cause.

  1302. trump did it for 5 years. what's to stop DeSantis? actually, both sides have a tendency to just ignore the constitution and the law when they get in the way of their agendas. but the GOP more so than the dems. and trump did it practically every day and no one stopped him.

  1303. increase their number but DECREASE their time on the bench. we don't want them elected nor to have life-long appointments. this life-long appointment nonsense is utter crap. it can be worked out where each president is allowed 2 appointments during their tenure. at 15 year intervals 2 judges can be replaced every 5 years. or something like that. rich people DESPISE simple and elegant solutions. they want things as complicated and convoluted as possible. complication causes social conflict and conflict makes them RICHER and keeps them in power.

  1304. its the GOP who made adding justices to the supreme court necessary. if mcconnel and the rest of the GOP didn't commit hypocrisy, situational ethics and fraud to deny obama his legal choices for the federal bench and then allow trump additional nominees during his illegal presidency then we wouldn't be in the god awful mess we're in. mcconnell said it himself - he was turning the senate into a MACHINE for churning out "conservative" judges to the federal bench. he refused to bring 100's of bills to a senate vote just to make the time to achieve this goal. of course it was illegal. BUT, LIKE TRUMP, NO ONE STOPPED HIS FRAUD. why are politicians, and the rich that they work for, NEVER held to account for their crimes?

  1305. man you got that right. without reagan's normalizing fanatical fascism there'd be no trump or maga today. reagan inspired the left to become more fascist in response to HIS fascism. you kidding? 100% of our tax dollars go to the rich. on occasion some among the lower classes may recieve a benefit too, but the elite ALWAYS profit from every govt program. daca forces us to pay insurance companies for medical care when those same companies drive up medical costs. we're forced to pay the price increases created by the inflation the rich cause. food stamps and medicare are simply subsidies for the rich. the govt merely pays the extrortion demanded by the ruling elite on behalf of those who can't afford to pay the extortion. our tax dollars go towards allowing the elite to pay lowr taxes than us. or they pay no taxes at all and they often get REFUNDS on taxes THEY DON'T PAY! the elite get tax payer money for subsidies, contracts and bailouts although their reckless policies and greed caused the problems in the first place. people continue to suffer at the hands of the ruling elite and those victims are CONSTANTLY required to make their abusers richer. its called capitalism. we're a nation of fools ruled by gangsters.

  1306. It was Trump, his Whitehouse lawyer Pat Cipollone and the rest of trump's cartoon council that should've been admonished for lying and making unfounded legal assertions in defense of their criminal client. Roberts needs to step up and DEMAND Trump, himself, and his council stop making legally baseless claims among them - 1) Trump has absolute immunity, 2) there's no evidence to support impeachment, 3) executive privilege applies to defying congressional oversight, covering up crimes or unethical or impeachable behavior and 4) Trump can use executive privilege as a means to withhold witnesses and documentation of his crimes. ALL these assertions are false and if they were made in a criminal proceeding the judge would throw out these groundless assertions and admonish the lawyers making them. These are just four of the many absurd and legally baseless claims being made by Trump and his council.
