Goes to the theory that when America gets a cold, the world gets the flu. Except this time it is pneumonia. The minute that the president started to enact his executive orders, the world plunged into chaos. The impact of his actions have reverberated throughout the world and now we have a humongous crap sandwich. Which shows that this is intentional. Just look at all the mayhem that has been caused by his actions/inactions. Pipelines shut down, pipelines opened, drilling shut down, leases withdrawn, leases opened. I hope the US voters remember this at the polls this fall. If we don't send all these liberal morons home and take control of congress, shame on us. The fallout of this 2020 election will long be remembered as the start of the decline and acceleration of the decline of the good ole' USA. We have chosen to lay down with the dogs, and now we all have fleas. Surprise, surprise, as Gomer used to say. Folks like Obama and Gore have bought islands and underground bunkers to ride out the storm. Where does this leave us? Maybe someone on this site can tell us. Just sayin'

My wife and I bought a home upstate NY with plenty of acres and on a side road. Have a garden now, greenhouse next year maybe a few chickens too. Planning on getting a rifle and pistol license. When the food stamp and SSI checks and AMTs don't work, those expecting those perks may be knocking on your door and they aren't looking for cans/bottles to recycle.

Hi John -

Pro Tip: When things get as bad as you have outlined (and they will - probably much, MUCH worse), don't expect that the "people" who you will need your pistol and rifle to defend against are going to "knock" on your door. It would be a mistake to assume those "visitors" will be as kind-hearted and polite as you likely are. Probably want to teach your wife and kids to shoot, make sure each has a weapon they are familiar with and plenty of ammo for each, then set up and review interlocking fields of fire out each window ahead of time.

Overboard advice? Maybe. But prudent all the same...

Some people would rather die than murder others. WWJD?

Yes Don, America has choked to death on it's own stupidity, and the rest of the world is choking on our ignorant rotting flesh, and dying from the same disease.

January 6th should have been the start of a real revolution, with most in office tried for treason for obviously fixing an election for the communist.

Our current fraud president and his so called vice should have been sitting in prison right now, along with most democrats, RINO's, media/social media heads, University Chancellors, Union leaders,

Woke CEO's and all that desecrate our constitution and despise our laws.

You are so right on how the entire planet has been forced into hell because of one November of corrupted elections, and the price the world is paying for our apathy towards our own broken laws. We sat back while the frauds took over....gathered peacefully at the White House, while Antifa and ignorant idiots created political theater for the media/communist to promote as hatred for America, while everything they spun on us, is exactly what they themselves are doing.

Yes, this lack of action on our part will leave us where we belong...many dead, while the Rats hide on their islands and in their bunkers...but know when those rats stick their noses out to see if it's safe, Xi will be waiting for them, and terminate them like the Useful Idiots they are.

Or just maybe, we the people will wake up and make America, America again...Maybe?

SL: You are riding the wrong train: The election was not fixed but Donald tried his hardest to win by trying to buy votes. Guess you missed that video of him talking to Brad Raffensperger of Georgia to find him 11,780 votes. Fortunately BR said NO.

Steve L's avatar

Yes my sweet Dorothy, we are all on the same derailed train heading off the same cliff. Some of us will survive due to our vision, and knowing when to jump. Most unfortunately will sit happily on that train, enjoying the view and cocktails, and even though they fully feel and understand something just ain’t right, they will continue looking out the back and side windows, and making sure to keep their eyes off the front view, as many believe what you can’t see won’t hurt you…..our conductor is out of his mind….

Cat's avatar

Oh, Steve. You drank the kool-aid. Jan 6 was an attempted coup d'etat, everyone who participated should be tried for treason, the election was definitely NOT fixed, and Biden is not a communist. Trump should be in prison and hopefully soon will be. He's just like Hitler. The Supreme Court desecrates our Constitution and despises our laws. Antifa wasn't part of Jan. 6--it stands for anti-fascist and every American should be against fascism. Yes, China could soon be the big power on the planet. The U.S. has had its turn. Can't wait to read all the trash replies I will soon get.

Hi Cat -

I, for one, completely and vehemently disagree with every point you made and it is unarguable that everything you wrote is exactly opposite of the facts and the Truth (capital "T") - but I'm not willing to trash you. This Country is still called America, and you have as much right as me to hold and espouse your own opinion.

Stop and really think about that last sentence please. There is a very basic lesson there that I hope you can identify. Don't just give the concept a glancing thought or pay it lip service, because it is blatantly obvious your side (the dims) no longer respect or condone the Right to Free Speech for all Americans.

Ironic? Hypocritical? Dangerous?? Yes, to all of the above. If you think that today's left still supports Free Speech, you are denying REALITY. And the points listed in your post represent Fantasy - the facts are there for all to see. Turn off your television and educate yourself - or don't. We'll wake you when it is time to get in the boxcar.

In closing, I will leave you with an ancient Chinese proverb -

"When your head remains in the sand, your a** remains in the air..."

Worm Farmer extraordinaire's avatar

Liberal garbage. What is that person doing on this thread?

Cat's avatar

And I totally disagree with everything you have said, too. It's really amazing how the Maggots get everything 100% wrong. I can't wait until you get to Heaven (for I believe everyone will be with God) and find out the Truth. Speaking of dangerous, the real danger is that if the Repukeblicans get in power they will turn our democratic Republic into a fascist authoritarian regime. Just remember that I said it here first (I think).

Dorothy's avatar

SE:Why do you believe that it's "blatantly obvious" the Dems no longer respect or condone the Right to free speech?. I guess you think Trump taking all the documents is okay? The Republicans cannot stand not to in control of the country. Get over it! Have a nice day! By the way, your little Chinese proverb wasn't clever at all.

Dorothy's avatar

Cat, you are a brave soul. Don't worry, all the Republicans will show their fangs and try to castrate you and rewrite what actually happened on 1-6-22. Even though the ballots were counted numerous time with the same results they still deny. Good Luck!

StarboardEdge's avatar

Ha! You finally got something right Dots -

The ballots WERE counted multiple times. Many of them counted hundreds of times - in the middle of the night, when it had been announced that the counting had "stopped", after the R observers had gone home, once there was cardboard blocking all the windows from outside view, when TraitorJoe (may he hang in piece) was OFFICIALLY behind by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of votes, and all in swing states.

Sounds legit to me. /s

You sure hit the nail on the head with this post sweet cheeks...

Cat's avatar

Thank you for supporting me. BTW, everyone should know today that (1) The Appeals Court overruled Judge Canon and said that the DOJ can keep working on the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago, and (2) New York's Attorney General is suing Trump and his 3 oldest children. YES! Speaking of Jan. 6, my husband saw a video of a reporter on a sidewalk asking random people what they thought of Jan. 6. Two teenage girls said, "Did something happen then? If it did, it was all Nancy Pelosi's fault." I swear, Americans keep getting dumber and dumber!

Hold on PG - to your Point #1:

The proof is VOLUMINOUS. Written, audio, photographic, video, electronically forensic, statistical analysis - there are MANY different forms of EVIDENCE that ALL clearly show that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen from the person whom received the MOST VOTES, particularly in the 5 swing states.

You are correct about the "fix being in." Over 100 lawsuits and court cases (all lost by DJT) that the progtardes love to trumpet about - until you ask them ONE question:

How many of those 100+ court cases got to the Evidentiary stage, or even to the Discovery stage? The answer is ZERO, which means NONE of the available proof we can all see was ever examined by a JUDGE. NOT IN EVEN THE SLIGHTEST CAPACITY. The important questions for all Americans should be -

How does that even happen in over 100 cases? Dismissed WITHOUT even a cursory review of the plaintiffs evidence? How can so many Judges rule that the VOTERS THEMSELVES don't have standing for the cases to proceed when the complaint ITSELF was that the votes were incorrectly counted? How can an allegedly honorable Vice President of the United States agree to certify an election when there was so much credible evidence that NEVER was reviewed? WTH?

As the dims are so very fond of saying - "The seriousness of the allegation demands that an investigation be performed." Well, STEALING a Presidential election is one of the most serious allegations I can think of, yet the outright TREASON was allowed to be implemented and anyone who objects is labeled a terrorist. Very, very smooth and would have been impossible without a complicit media and an apathetic, distracted and not-very-bright populace.

And just look where we are now my friend...

PV: If you don't like America why don't you leave. You have all your facts wrong. Just read what you wrote (1,2,3.) The system is rigged etc. etc. Where do you get this shit. I think you either read or watch certain TV programs that are leading you astray. But I really don't think there is any hope for you. If you respond try to be civil. Better yet, DON'T Respond.

Newsmax and Fox News are extremely right-wing. For unbiased news see https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/ but it is really hard to read. I like PBS, NPR, and BBC. Another source lists the ten most unbiased news sources as AP, Reuters, NPR, BBC, PBS, CBS, The Guardian, New York Times, CNN, NBC. By the way, you used 15 different words or phrases to put down Dorothy. Can't you be civil?

She thinks electric cars will work. She is either very delusional or has no grasp of physical science.

Your Stupidity never fails to surprises me. All you do is name calling to anyone who doesn't agree with you. You know nothing about me and my IQ is probably higher than yours. You are much older and your experience much greater but you live on a one-way-street.

Oye’ Joel, assuming I can afford the plane ride and before the onslaught of “jackboots and live rounds”, should I take the red eye from Texas to BA? If so, what’s your estimate of the necessary intake of Baby Bife and copious Malbec to offset the cost of the excursion in the underground currency exchange market for the fiat $? Dave

I just had our financial manager set stops at 5 percent on EVERYTHING yesterday that's not metal or high quality government paper (or Bonner's TOD). I don't think attitudes are going to improve anytime soon.
