  1. IS there anything in this country that isn't a scam?

  2.  @brandonplays702  There's a huge difference between thinking something is a hoax and thinking it's politically motivated. Is Covid a hoax? No... Is it politically motivated? Absolutely Unfortunately, the people that don't see it have a very naive view of the incentives we throw government agencies and Pharmaceutical companies. They are absolutely disgusting and don't think for a second they won't take advantage of a crisis to not only make money, but expand their power.

  3. Media:. Let's release a story about a 24 year old that died from Covid instead of the other thousands of cases that fit bad risk factors and adverse vaccine effects in order to push our narrative that ANYONE can die from it!

  5. I think you mean (corporations) pay no taxes; comparatively Billionaires and the upper class pay almost all of your taxes. Lower class and middle class pay a small percentage; less than 20%

  7.  @tanuki9691  It's called VAERs and the death count is something around 12,000 people. Yet the media has continued to delegitimize it to advance it's agenda. It's in the best interest of government agencies and Pharmaceutical companies to prolong the pandemic.

  8.  @covenant11  I'm sorry, but it's not; you can look it up via IRS tax revenue data. The bottom 50% of wage earners (by median salary) pay 3.04% of all taxes. Billionaires and upper class wage earners pay almost all taxes.

  10. I could care less about Roe v Wade in all honesty. I simply look forward to the complete desolation of the Federal Government; this was a great start!

  11. @Christopher Vice Bud, I'm not saying that America hasn't influenced nations around the globe, but have you seen this country? Go for a drive and get back to me, this country is dirt poor and we have some of the most dangerous cities in the world. Saudi Arabia has a standard of living multiple times over from a 1/3 of Americans living on welfare and a crumbling infrastructure.

  12. $5.09 in all of central Ohio; plus we typically hold the average fuel cost nationawide.

  13.  @practicaliching2311  Well, to be fair (ALL Marxist ideologies) were on the left. Fascism and Communism ONLY became right/left following the conclusion of WW2 as it was rebranded.

  14. What he really meant to say is that he was drowning in debt when he came and now he's drowning in more debt as he attempts to leave. Stop sugar-coating it!

  15. All these countries allow global migrants to flood into the United States. Yet they'll scream when they get these same migrants dumped back inside their country. Give them a taste of their own medicine please.

  16. Did we watch the same interview? I have my own issues with Vance, but he's very well spoken. The interviewer did nothing but gaslight and try to create 'gotcha' moments like addressing family separation. All families are separated when people commit crimes; she's playing dumb for low info voters.

  17.  @covenant11  According to what? You're literally making things up. According to the IRS, the top 1% of taxpayers (incomes of $682,000+) pay 45.8% of all income tax revenue. The top 25% ($94,000 or more) pay 89.2% of all income taxes. Stop trying to defend whatever your knee jerk reaction is and learn something about tax revenue

  18. This is largely occurring from global economic factors that began with the Federal Reserve in 2020. Printing $10 Trillion in the last four years has caused global economic upheaval.

  19. Palestinians are largely continuing a culture of Nazism that was left during World War 2. None of this hatred for Jews existed on such a scale prior. The Palestinians are in the situation that they are because of decades of attacks against Israelis that have shrunk Gaza into what it is today.

  20. Most people do not understand this basic concept. This economic upheaval is happening on a global scale. The US is the WORLD Reserve Currency! The Federal Reserve dictates interest rates and debt creation thru the Treasury. We printed some $10 Trillion dollars since 2020 and it has resulted in over 60% inflation if you're looking at the USD M2 Supply charts. Along with a litany of embargos/sanctions that began under Obama and were expedited under Trump. We have destabilized virtually all global economies. The FED will never allow deflation to happen. So we are most likely in the very early phase of hyperinflation. If the markets break for any reason; interest rates will drop and spending will skyrocket. Then we play this game over and over until nobody can afford to live and the government cannot afford to pay interest on it's debts.

  21. You don't have a very high IQ if you need to be taught what to be offended about. It's crazy how people think they're smart being gaslighted into hating something they didn't even watch lol

  22. @grayma Did you forget the part where Obama's State Dept. formed a coup against Kiev in 2014? Which basically started this entire problem.

  23. Irrelevant! We do not have the staffing to take care of the current demand for healthcare. If you impose a single-payer mandate; hospitals will get swamped 10 fold! You'll have half the healthcare workers in the nation walking off the job within a week.

  24.  @BrandonMalveaux8  Well, that's unfortunately a factor of the economic system; not exactly businesses. As long as debt outgrows GDP; prices will rise and wages will stagnate. There will be periods of relief during interest rate cuts and whatnot, but overall the inequalities will widen and money will be worth less going forward.

  25. Might as well send Whoopie Goldberg at this point lol

  26. I've like him so far, but there's something very off about him. Especially after he continues to dodge the 'inflation' issue. All GOP candidates are ignoring the blatant inflation problem, because there's nothing intelligent they can say in order to make a compelling argument that it wasn't Trump's fault. Trump appointed J. Powell and even threatened his job if he didn't take rates lower. Imagine if the Federal Funds rate would have been negative like many countries. We would have had 20% inflation in June last year, not 9.1%.

  27. The amount of blatant misinformation in threads like this is what is driving the disconnect in America. How many times does there need to be an investigation that finds 'nothing' or Van Jones calling the 'Russia story's a nothing-burger? People are willfully stupid.

  28. Stop watching msnbc bud

  29. Now Trump is saying he wants to give Ukraine money 'with better loan terms'. ALL the politicians are fake and lying. It's all about corporate greed! Blackrock has all the contracts to rebuild Ukraine. They'll own the entire country and put up massive condo units so you can go blow what's left of your life savings on a beautiful foreign vacation, smh.

  30. If people haven't noticed the deception by now, then you fully deserve what's coming. There is no excuse for the ignorance. Personally, I would recommend people delete all their social media accounts. Or at the very least do not make personal profiles. They are going to use everything against you...

  32. Oh I think he does! An interest in protecting corporate profits. These companies will put up a big fight to keep their money and power in the game.

  33. It is truly frightening how the US is mimicking the regime in the Soviet Union. Suppression of dissidence, using agencies to target political opposition, election interference, and everybody at each other's throats. How did that end? Oh yeah, the death of a quarter of the population.

  35.  @julianaskov2526  So if you serve foods laced with seed oils and sugar, is that a danger to public health? You see how this logic falls flat on it's face?

  36. If anybody is still buying into the hysteria that the media cartel is spreading. You really need to leave your cave and open your eyes. The matrix is falling apart. You can either die with the sinking ship or liberate yourself.

  37.  @chungm381  Filled with hate? How about using your own brain and not letting the media think for you?

  38.  @chungm381  Really? So how do you deduce that it was a bunch of hate? Unless you're trying to subjectively take things out of context for your own agenda? I find it hard to believe that you were 'going to vote for Trump' if that was the case.

  39.  @BrownTrout1238  Capitalism has literally nothing to do with prices rising. It's called the FED and they printed $8 Trillion dollars because morons shut down the government.

  40. Well, I like the idea of tariffs. The only problem is that you must have something to trade. Attempting to hurt China with no internal cost to their GDP on the end of the US does nothing. Now, tariffs basically increase the cost of goods coming from export to import country. This is good; assuming that the US had a better alternative (for production) inside our borders. With the current state of prices and wages; this is impossible.

  41. Yeah, an economic collapse worldwide. USD can only take so much more abuse in currency value before it gets flopped as the world's reserve currency. Young people have no idea how poor they can be without that status. In the event we lose reserve currency status. I'd guarantee that a large amount of young people would commit suicide; no fortitude and no adversity.

  42. I come from a large medical professional family in the Midwest. Requirements for work and staffing a ridiculous. We saw 42% inflation between 2020 and 2023 and we didn't get ANY raises. We just had a hospital close down in Chillicothe, OH. If the staffing doesn't increase with good pay incentives; you'll see a healthcare collapse in the United States. I've bee predicting this for a number of years. The apparatus cannot withstand the current demand for the current staff.

  43.  @bebdaumon3948  I'm in the CDL industry. I can guarantee you that construction workers don't make $100k each year; nor do truck drivers.

  44.  @laskey2175  Don't spread lies Thomas. First, the train derailed from a faulty ball-bearing that had failed 20 miles before it's derailment. Second, Trump didn't deregulate anything. The 10 years break mandate was a regulatory consideration under the Obama Administration and was disregarded under the Trump Admin. It was never a law in the first place; it was sitting (with thousands of other considerations) on the books.

  45.  @PedalSteelBill  They were right for seriously diseased people. You don't need to shot if you're young and healthy. This thing would have unfolded much better if they made an effort to actually help (those at risk) and not play politics and be politically correct for fear of offended people, dear god..

  46.  @BETTERWORLDSGT  Nope, Governor of Texas (as well as others) have already made it known that they will defy the executive order to their fullest extent.

  47.  @michaeldowd4786  You obviously don't have children; nor a wife. I don't think an actual woman would put up with such a beta ideology.

  48. Contrary to popular belief; modern right and left politics don't exactly describe the history of France. They were relabeled after the conclusion of WW2. All of Marxism (Fascism, Socialism, and Communism) were on the left because they were a revolutionary force against loyalists/Monarchies. When Fascism went to war with Communism (sister ideologies); they were split into the NEW right and left concepts.

  49.  @TheTrailburner  Do you realize your position holds absolute immunity for you? Kind of sounds like the "If you're starving in the Soviet Union, then you must not believe in the Great Leader and our Utopia! Therefore you must be a Western sympathizer for starving." How many times would it take you to change your mind about a solution, before you realize your solution was causing more problems? Most of what you're seeing is an illusion. The incentives for Pharmaceutical companies and government agencies to spread disinformation is abundant. "You can get Covid multiple times! But get the vaccine and it will all stop." The scientific method is dead and a cult named "Follow the science" took it's place. It's the newest theocratic movement in this country. A blind leap of faith for our credentialing system.

  50. Core inflation is still pretty bad. Most people know that inflation is up about 40-50% since January 2020. The metrics tell us that the economy is booming and we are actually in a bull market (technically speaking). But the average working class person is struggling and purchasing power is the worst it's been since the 1970s. Working class people WILL turn on Biden/Harris. The coastal elites and retirees can't save them at the ballot box.
