29, you got that right; this country is becoming a joke. If this nation falls apart, it won't be because the laws and bill of rights is undone. It will be because nobody cares anymore and nobody follows the laws.

The tyrant isn't at the top; the tyrant is everyone. I wish people would have understood that before they got the idea they would ONLY be fighting the government. Human rights begin in the home and in your community. A state gone rogue is only possible when its own culture becomes completely pathological.

@Feisenbach Why does refusing the Covid vaccine make someone an idiot? What if I've already had Covid? What if I don't want to be an experiment for Pfizer?

@ultraquiz For everyone that wanted to make money bud.

@joannajensen2221 1.7% actually, according to Pfizer clinical trial data.
5
@cgcg73 Because it's clinical trials were rushed, the efficacy rates are in the 1% range, and natural immunity is being disregarded. Plus the vaccine death toll is around 16,000, mostly coming from Pfizer. Btw, there have never been vaccine mandates for work in the US and the ability to travel.

Depends on location; I grew up with cops in my family. It largely seems like a cultural issue. I'm from Columbus and have met all manner of Ohio cops. They always talk politics about how crazy New York and California law enforcement policies are. I would ask all the time if they agreed with something that had happened in those states and they would always be bewildered why cops would even be enforcing those laws. Ohio cops don't even enforce marijuana laws; it's a simple citation/fine if the officer chooses. Mind you, in 2020/2021 the Ohio Dept. of Health was asking CPD to enforce the Covid laws on gatherings. They sited a large number of instances where complaints were filing in from residents about neighbors not following the party/gathering mandates. So they openly asked CPD to enforce the law and apprehend non-compliant residents. The police Chief and a swarm of letters kindly told the DoH to F-off.

Everything he's said is largely publicly available. My largest opposition to support for either side was NATO's involvement in the Yanukovich coup that took place in 2014. Anybody paying attention pretty much knows that Ukraine is not a nation, it's a (pay to play) buffer state that Russia and NATO are trying to control. If Ukraine had joined NATO, then the rest of Europe and America would be obligated to suppress the ongoing civil war in eastern Ukraine back during 2021 and early 2022. This would have put NATO and a war against Russia's border. Now you have idiots claiming that there never was a (civil war) in eastern Ukraine before 2022. The amount of stupidity in the media and general public has always astounded me.

I'm not sure why any American left or right would still hold onto the "America is the Greatest nation" narrative any more. Perhaps in terms of our founding and the ability to move from state to state should a crisis arise in your hometown. Though by international standards, this is a third world country. Many of the most dangerous cities in the world are not located in some far off land in Asia or Latin America. The most dangerous cities in the world are right here in the US: Baltimore, Dayton, St. Louis, Chicago etc.

@laaaliiiluuu Sure it does. In your life you'll get to know roughly 1000 people. Connecting with two other people forms a billion connections over the course of a lifetime. Imagine how many connections your neighborhood makes lol Everybody effects everyone else in every way imaginable. People must take the burden of responsibility onto their shoulders. When they stop, someone else has to carry that. And not only that, but counter the negative effects from everyone that doesn't take that burden. If not, then the negative outperforms the positive. Every single action on the planet has an equal and counter reaction worldwide.

Not in my experience, both right and left are trying to indoctrinate everyone they can into their ideology. This is what happens when the system fails and tribalism reigns again.

Well, both Democrats and Republicans have found perfect justification to cheat. Despite there being 0 evidence in 2020 for cheating; only a FOX News conspiracy that they lost $785 Million over in a lawsuit with Dominion. Yet people still believe it. Voter turnout was huge, everywhere. Even the biggest Trump voting counties that won by 92% had a 30% increase in voter turnout. The idea that Democrats cheated because they had 'fake' turnout in metro areas is dumb. Voter turnout was high in all counties. But, once the voter fraud snow ball starts to roll; it's almost impossible to stop. You'll see an immense amount of voter fraud from Republicans and Democrats in 2024. Take care to remember that Republicans are being prosecuted in 7 states for a voter fraud ring involving numerous state representatives, lawyers, and other elected officials. All on felony charges for electoral voter fraud.

As a younger person, I'd say 'take your own advice.' This idea that one election is going to stop this nations doom is laughable. The worst threat to this country are these trillionaire corporate conglomerates that use tech algorithms to light the world on fire; all for click-bait ad revenue. This country isn't falling apart because of 'communists.; whomever you're referring to. It's falling apart because this is the inevitability of a Keynesian system; permanent growth and permanent inflation. Past generations continued to kick the can down the road as exports couldn't keep up with inflation. Now I'm considered lazy by many older people; despite owning a home, being married, and having a child. Yet I have to work 5 times harder than boomers to achieve the same US Dollar value that enables me to live the same lifestyle that previous generations did. People need to do the math; USD value has lost some 85% of it's value since around 1980. Now amount of 'air conditioning' and 'no draft' can make up for that when I pay property taxes and the mortgage.

What he's saying is mostly public information. He has the same opposition to the war that many people paying attention did. NATO was engineering this conflict when they helped overthrow the Yanukovich administration in 2014 and installed Zelensky.

A majority of these people are Venezuelan; fleeing the Maduro regime.

Thankfully in the city of Columbus, OH. The Ohio Department of Health asked the Chief to begin enforcing Covid mandate laws for house parties/gatherings back in 2021. They instructed the PD to respond to residential complaints and enforce the order by removing non-compliant citizens from their homes. In a series of letters from various officers and the police chief; they politely told the Ohio DoH to go F themselves.
1
He's not releasing anything new. All this information is public and he has the same position on the war that many people do. It's going to be hard to discern what's true if you haven't paid attention during the Obama Administration. If you want context and information, go back to the Revolution of Dignity and the civil war that began in 2014.

I'm not saying this isn't a problem for the school, but these kids are becoming porn-addicts almost a decade before they are going to see these curriculums. Parents refuse to educate their children, nor do they acknowledge the pandemic of porn addiction for young teens and adults. I truly don't see any of these issues getting solved any time soon.

I believe them, but understand that they are largely delusional about their own country. Ukraine hasn't had true sovereignty for the last century. They've been constantly bought by either the Russians or NATO in an effort to control the country. It's truly no different than Americans back during the Gulf War that thought they were fighting for freedom when we were invading Kuwait. Most Americans (and0 Ukrainians for that matter) are completely ignorant to the fact that eastern Ukraine has been in a civil war since 2014 against the NATO Zelensky administration. Only people that have jumped onto this conflict in the last 18 months buy into the media garbage that they throw out. I remember when the US helped to overthrow the Yanukovich government in 2014 and we gave weapons to help them put down Ukrainians the wanted to be annexed in Russia due to a number of regressive government actions against this in Donetsk and Luhansk.
1
Because the billions they are giving are being divvied out between three areas. Paying for more tanks, weapons, and missiles from Poland/Germany. Paying mercenaries to fight the Russians, because Ukraine is running dry of manpower. Paying for cronies and side favors in all other areas.

It always curdles my blood to think that there are people in this country that will bend over backwards (all for a paycheck). I quit my job ($70k a year) in June 2020; in the middle of Covid. After they took away my 13 unpaid vacation days and gave me 8. If you can't tell your employer to go to hell over some simple benefits, then you won't stand up to your employer should they tell you to shoot pregnant women in the back of the head. I'd advise people read a book called, "Ordinary Men". It shows you how far everyday people in the workforce can go without deciding to take a stand.

No way the average immigrant is paying enough in FICA taxes to pay forward current retirees.

@Teri_B. Not going to happen! We don't have the man-power nor the political support to do so, even in Texas. Law enforcement on a national level is in the garbage. I'm from the Columbus, OH area and we have a cop shortage upwards of 35% and only half the staffing as we did in the early 2000s. With this country taking a major shift in leftist politics (largely due to age demographics). I'd expect amnesty across the board in the coming years. Nothing you can do! Politicians love the votes and employers love the cheap labor and temp workers.

Freedom is not freedom if the entire system decays into anarchy. Freedom depends on a strong culture and system to maintain it. The Federal Government is screwed up, yes! But you'll lose a lot more by dissolving it.
1
We got 'involved' when we aided in the overthrow of the Yanukovich administration in 2014, after which we installed Zelensky. Ukraine has no sovereignty and hasn't for the last 100 years. Ukraine is whatever the highest bidder says it is, unfortunately.

Most of what he said is public information. I was against NATO's involvement in the Yanuovich coup back in 2014. Which handed the country over to NATO's puppet Zelensky. Most people have no idea what happened in Ukraine between 2004 and 2022. Eastern Ukraine has been desperately attempting to break away to the Russian Federation. Even back in 2004, the annexation votes between those four Oblasts were between 65-89%. Eastern Ukraine ever since the "Revolution of Dignity" has been at war since 2014 in the east. If Ukraine had joined NATO, it would force the western powers to put down that war in Ukraine's favor and bud up against Russia's border. It has long been NATO's goal to insulate and subjugate Russia. Then to overthrow the government and install their own people. We've been doing this a very very long time.

@Ready Temp Who needs mail in ballots anymore? They can adjudicate 10,000 ballots with a single click and change your vote on a referendum to yes. Then swap your vote from Red to Blue. Mail in ballots at this point are a topic that the media uses to humor voters. The real crime was done with the click of a mouse.
1
Eastern Ukraine was attempting to break away and be annexed by Russia since 2004. Kiev and the rest of western Ukraine did not.
1
Well, to be fair, most of these people are Venezuelan fleeing the Maduro regime. Police and border patrol are underfunded and understaffed on a national level. Even places like Columbus, OH have a cop shortage that is in the -35% for what they want. It's like 500 migrants for each border patrol agent down there. They are swamped!

It's called (municipal policy). Either obey your Mayor/Sheriff or lose your job; it's that simple.

@laaaliiiluuu Not necessarily, it's the choices we make to better ourselves, our family, and others. The seven deadly sins may be a fiction of imagination to many, but they are metaphorically true in many ways. Pride blinds us from humility Envy blinds us from integrity Greed blinds us from spirituality, etc... It took me a long time to figure it out, but most people are not complicated. We are a mammalian species that doesn't escape the equilibrium and bell curves of the natural world. People are not going along with the propaganda because they believe it to be true. They go along with it because it's convenient or even furthers their own agenda. Lockdowns and mask mandates are a complete project of envy. "If I can't host a party or ignore the mandates, then nobody else should either " It is precisely the same pathological thinking that gave you the Third Reich and the USSR. People knew that Jews were being rounded up, it was just convenient to ignore it. People knew that capitalists, priests, and sympathizers we're being rounded up, it was just convenient to going along with it. Playing your part as the tyrant is very convenient when the people being hauled off represent what you could have been. People would rather blame others than take responsibility for their own shortcomings. That is the evil of pride and envy, playing itself out on the grand scale.

@laaaliiiluuu Good point. Or maybe 'we' are the parents raising an elitist class in our image maybe? The world has changed so much in the last twenty years. People are angry on social media. Impatient if their Amazon package takes more than one day. Makes perfect sense why the people we elect are so dysfunctional imo. I honestly think a great deal of the problem is FB. A platform that codes their software to show you more of what you want and the most controversial out of the mix. It's a self fulfilling prophecy of craziness that makes people resentful and more narcissistic.
1
@laaaliiiluuu I know it can feel futile, but it's a slow process. I call it planting the seeds of freedom lol People will ignore or doubt others forever, unaware that a seed of behavior has been planted that will evolve their behavior. Focus on yourself and it will alter the distal ends of your social life; slowly but surely. You should check out Jordan Peterson and Russel Brand on YouTube. No joke, they're ideas have multiplied my life quality 100 times over

It's becoming abundantly clear how the Nazi's we're able to carry out their plans in the 1930s. The human shadow stretches from the highest point in heaven to the deepest crevices of hell. When this is all over; nobody will be able to deny what they stood for and whose side they were on. Let it be known that a man who is unwilling to refuse evil at the workplace, will not refuse evil when it comes to his wife and children. Cowardice and complacency are taking their toll.

Because the border has become overrun with Venezuelans (fleeing Maduro) in the last 3 years.

Maybe if we cherrypicked the worst ones. The worst threat to this country are tech corporation algorithms; lighting the world on fire for 'click bait' ad revenue.
