i hope this guy lives long enough to do some good. we need representatives with his attitudeLOL. I remember when he first won people were complaining that inflation went up to 130%... They didn't want to admit the spending was why inflation was bad. It took a few months to work it's way out of the system and eventually they will stabilize if they stay the course. If spending way more money than you take in was good for an economy then everyone would do it and prosper.
Yes, I am a Marxist. What we agree on(hopefully) is that neither of us should be imposing our values on the other by force. I unequivocally disavow all such historical attempts, meaning for purposes of this conversation revolutionary communism. Revolutions tend to empower the most brutal, who then turn on the ideologues who gave them legitimacy. Marx is one of the foundational thinkers of modern economics. Anyone is free to disagree with his speculations on the future, but since he so accurately described the past and present that lends them weight. I’m just a man searching for the experimentally reproducible truth and Marx seems to be the closest we’ve come as of yet. I understand you support the things you mention, the economic status quo, institutions of faith, and the family. Why? You’re a deep thinker, I assume you have solid reasons.
Rube take across the board. You're mad about China? This is a GREAT first step. How the f can you and Bill want China involved at all in what our people see and hear? Good god.TikTok is a trash app but let’s be real here. You have no privacy anymore. If you think the government does not already have access to everything you say and do think again. Your phone, Alexa and any other device with a camera and or microphone can easily be “hacked” by the government, Apple and many other entities. The CCP is a real problem but our government is not far behind them.
This is clearly about government wanting total control over social media companies and the content they are able to deliver. You better believe X, Rumble and other platforms will be in their crosshairs next.
Our government has gotten us in $35Trillion in debt and have no plans to stop. Meanwhile, they continue to get rich along with their donors. They sold our country out a long time ago. The only way this changes is a revolution against the establishment that will not be pretty. Its not happening in the voting booth.
"Was"Inflation is down.
Monthly inflation rate U.S. 2024 | Statista
In October 2024, prices had increased by 2.6 percent compared to October 2023 according to the 12-month percentage change in the consumer price index — the monthly inflation rate for goods and services in the United States.www.statista.com
Nobody wants that ideally, but the reality is they have it regardless of tiktok. If you don't want China or anyone else for that matter, having access to your data, you best just completely abandon the grid, build yourself a cabin in the middle of nowhere Alaska and live off the land.Rube take across the board.

California counting votes is like Jerry Lundegaard trying to fudge the VIN numbers on the stolen vehicle to ward off GMAC.
I don't know one solitary person that has experienced that side effect. Not one. I know literally hundreds of people via friends, family, and work. Internet fear mongering BS.
On a positive side note..... Keep on Ridin with Biden!
253k jobs added and 3.4 percent unemployment.
US job growth beats expectations in April as economy adds 253,000 new positions
The April jobs report released Friday provided a key look at the labor market's health amid the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate-hike campaign.www.foxbusiness.com
Dayum, the bearcats cock kicked the crap out of the Jayhawks by 20 points.....LOL
I would say Rand is worried about the slippery slope that we are constantly told doesn't exist but then we end up sliding closer to a totalitarian state. LOL.
China is so embedded here that banning tiktok won't accomplish anything. 8 years ago it might have mattered but China has subsidiaries in every tech co. Most experts say that China gets way more personal data from Americans from US tech co's than they do from their own spy ware.
This line from the WSJ editorial board is where a lot of us differ, I think:
While U.S. Big Tech companies may lean left, they aren’t motivated to harm the country.
I’m not willing to just absolve US Tech companies, including as directed and controlled by the US government, from responsibility simply because the CCP has a stake in TikTok.
Twitter and Facebook were basically under the control of the US government through Covid, and our country will never recover from the harm they contributed to.
People make fun of MTG but she was spot on yesterday. She said if we are wanting to stop sharing our personal info, why is the ban not universal instead of just china? And she also mentioned why we are allowing china to buy our farmland. She is not as dumb as some try to make her. .For sure. Well if we know anything, it has little to do with actually protecting citizens privacy.
Rogan had a tech security expert on that said basically every nation on Earth has spyware now where they can read anyone's phone. You don't even have to download anything or go to website or answer a text... All they have to do is have your phone number and ping your phone and they are in.if you own a cell phone, your data's been breached. your data is already in anyone's hands who wants to manipulate what you see and read. Banning TikTok is just a blip on the radar of data collection. People need to understand the ban or forced selling is about CONTENT manipulation not data collection.
Yep. That's the other thing that sticks out to me. Tik Tok pushes all the issues that dems say they support.. gay, trans, blm... every weird thing and anti US common values... and then dems voted to ban the app... I'm calling BS. They have another reason to vote for this or the vote would have been almost unanimous down party lines.The govt controls the harm. That's the only difference. China is an enemy that wants us to confiscate guns 10 years ago and call in the debt. The govt wants to milk the dying cow for all it's possibly worth along the way, delaying the end as long as possible.
Weird how quick dems flipped on jews. I wonder how many jews will figure it out before it's too late?
California is an absolute cancer to the rest of us.California is about to implement energy charges based on income. Several important points included in this article, imo:
1. CA has concentrated almost exclusively on clean energy, disregarding reliability and affordability
2. HH with $28k-$69k would pay $20-34/mo more; $69k - $180k would pay $51-73/mo more; >$180k would pay $85-128/mo more;
3. Someone who makes only $68k in CA is barely above the poverty line but they have to pay more for electricity?
4. CA average electric cost is almost twice the national avg. ($0.32 vs. $0.18)
5. Even some D lawmakers are pushing back - one said 'to avoid rolling blackouts', which I took to mean that they are already seeing rolling blackouts, which means the grid is already unreliable
6. Which gov't agency will verify a CA resident's income? Another ploy to know everything about their residents for future use against them?
7. Obviously, renewable green energy is NOT cheaper to produce than electricity from fossil fuels and nuclear
8. Shon Hiatt, Director of USC Business of Energy Transition, said, "Renewable energy is not cheaper than natural gas or coal or other types of baseload energy. The problem with INTERMITTENT (emphasis added by me) renewables...' Intermittent is a key word in that quote.
The abject stupidity of some of our 'leaders' never ceases to amaze me.
California braces for new electric plan: Make more, pay more
Californians will be tasked with adapting to a newly proposed statewide law that will bill people based on income rather than their electricity usage.www.foxbusiness.com
Israel is in an existential war and democrats are telling them they must allow their enemies off the mat, or elect new leaders who will.Weird how quick dems flipped on jews. I wonder how many jews will figure it out before it's too late?
One thing I forgot to mention - CA has a 'no new ICE purchase' law that takes effect around 2032 or 2035. So, force residents to purchase expensive EVs, further degrade and put pressure on an unreliable electric grid by adding milions of batteries charging and charge MORE to recharge your EV battery. And, Newsome is seen as a legitimate POTUS candidate? He's a walking, talking disaster who lies all the time with impunity. So, of course, he's a frontrunner for POTUS in 2028, if not sooner.California is an absolute cancer to the rest of us.
Related: do we all understand now why they take weeks to count votes out there? There’s no way the people are actually voting for this.
Like most 'pop' music nowadays, awful dreck. Just because it's some weirdo, trans activist 'singing' doesn't make it better or worse. It's a sh!t song regardless. The video is hard to watch because it's trying to normalize an individual's delusional behavior as somehow normal. Dylan Mulvaney may be many things, but 'normal' is not one of them.

Trump world....Good times indeed. Record unemployment, raging Covid, riots and salutes to North Korean generals. Yeah....NO THANKS.
