I find this Marxism thing to be very undemocratic. But the posters here that claim to be concerned with democracy, i.e. against Trump, don't seem to have issues with it all. I can't think of a single example of a society that turned socialist or communist that became more free or democratic under that "new" system. Quite the opposite. A ruse of the thing is the claim to have the interests of workers and the poor at heart. Marx himself wasn't a laborer but rather an intellectual and actually considered working for a living to support his family to be beneath his station. He lived off the kindness and charity of his benefactors. Communists and Socialists are also a real bummer to be around. They're in a constant state of anger and depression pointing out things like the oppression of the system and other topics that will clear the room at a party. They're dreary little creatures devoid any of any cheer or happiness. What's there to be happy about when the world is one big oppressive conspiracy. The little secret is what they're eager to do is take charge so they can be the oppressor. The goal is to make everyone else as miserable in life as them. The system is so great the dictators have to build walls and fortifications to keep people in. Or as they say to keep others out of the workers paradise. I expect if you opened up the border between North and South Korea almost every productive person in the north would leave. The system is based on forced obedience to lies. The truth is a crime. What a great place to live! If you love democracy and freedom you can't be thinking clearly and logically and support Joe Biden and his loser administration. And thinking Trump is going to become a dictator by some magical decree if he's elected makes you a mind blowing imbecile that will pretty much fall for any crap these people feed to you. You think MAGA is the problem but its really YOU!

They focus on manufactured and imaginary issues and ignore reality and when their routine is challenged by facts and real life situations they play the victim.

When evaluating net worth/income numbers nominal dollar figures are not as important as adjusted for inflation apples to apples purchasing power. Earlier in my working life I was able to purchase my first home, buy a new car, go on vacation, spent some on an active social life along with saving and investing a little too. Making about 1/4 my current nominal income. I doubt many of the current generation making 2 or 3 times as much in nominal dollars can do that today. Under Joe the standard of living for many has fallen. Are they better off today than 4 years ago? Doubtful.

I suggest the raid had two purposes. One, to secure some specific and as of yet undisclosed set classified documents the government didn't want "revealed". Some have suggested Trump scooted away with some Russian collusion hoax documents that painted the FBI and IC in less than flattering terms. Whether they recovered the only copy is unclear. Two, to create negative public opinion and perception of the targeted individual. Hence, the staged photos. The DOJ's got a little bit of Hollywood in their blood and in general the people running the operation know how to put on a good show.

Do those drugs, guns, and money have proprietary government classification markings? And did the cops add any extra drugs or guns to the stack to make it more dramatic? I think that would be embellishment.

What the FBI did was a publicity stunt.

That's my contention about the entire 5 acre lot suburban living arrangement.

Joe better pull out the contingent of about 1,000 US soldiers holding ground in North East Syria supporting oil stealing operations. Because you can bet your last penny when hostilities escalate they'll be targets of Iranian proxies. Or he hangs them out to dry and they get the Afgahnistan send off from uncle Joe.

Facts won't stop TDS victims from continuing to believe.

My doctor doesn't claim to be a climate expert armed with a paltry 100 years or so of incomplete temperature data on a planet that's 4.5 billion years old peddling a simplistic cause/effect hypothesis of temperature variation insisting we take various actions without any evidence that any of them will do anything.

I drive down the street and see signs that say "Climate Action Now!" on front lawns. Of 4,000 sq ft natural gas heated homes with 2 zone AC, a built in pool with nat gas heat, and 3 big SUV's in the driveway. But you driving by reading my sign, you do something, now! It was hotter in the 1930's than it is today. And then it wasn't. How do these "experts" know the cycle won't flip into a cooling trend regardless of CO2 levels? They don't. But if you want them to say its going to get cooler just pay them enough and they'll say it. Just like they say its going to get hotter. I'm sick and tired of "experts" telling me what I should and shouldn't do. How about I tell them what to do? F Off!

You should take a look at Medicaid expenses. For most States its the highest budget line spending item. Part of it is because of rising medical costs. Other sources of increased cost are reliance on the program by more and more people with States easing eligibility requirements and fewer low income people covered by commercial plans. Some of it due to the nature of part-time work. The problem is commercial plans cover fewer and fewer people. For the major insurers more of their business is Medicare and Medicaid than it is commercial insurance coverage through private employers. Medicare pays 80% of covered expenses. This can leave a big chuck owed by a retiree. Medicare Advantage plans at extra premium cost can cover most of the 20%. As an example of commercial coverage a few years back my wife had a serious illness that required hospitalization for about 25 days, 12 of those in ICU. The total bill was about $650,000. (I should add the hospital made the "mistake" of submitted another $110K of what I considered fraudulent charges under "outpatient" services which the insurance rejected. I guess 650 wasn't enough for them!) I think I ended up paying about $14K out of pocket. If that was basic Medicare I would have owed the hospital $130K. Not many retiree's can afford that. Most doctors and big hospital systems make lots of money. They're not driving 15 year old cars or clipping coupons, their kids are going to expensive private schools and golf lessons at the country club. Neither party wants to tackle that Hornets nest of the AMA lobby.

What the commies want is citizens to lash out at the immigrants. Which will provide the justification to clamp down on "extremists". Create a crisis or an event is always in their plans. They're sneaky Mofo's. But rather it would be more effective to by one means or another eliminate the commie politicians and the elites funding their mayhem. Confiscate their money. Use their rules with means no rules. Voting them out would be a start. Already the left in Germany is attempting to "ban" the country's most popular political party, AfD. The populist Alternative for Germany for being an extremist group. Like a buddy of mine once said about the system, "if you can't beat 'em, cheat 'em".

What income level defines wealthy?

It would seem logical but the establishment employs thousands of credentialed experts that are willing to give anything their stamp of scientific approval and legitimacy as long as the compensation covers their expenses and the cost of their surrender of ethics and honesty.

I think we sometimes look at the relationship all wrong. It's the weaponized government intel agencies that are running the show. Not the elected Biden administration. Or any administration since Kennedy for that matter. The President and his fellow elected and appointed Democrats are the puppets. Most Republicans too. The intel community and the Democrats share a common enemy, Trump and the populist movement. The last thing either of these groups wants is a civilian government that will prioritize the interests of American citizens and our country over those of the global empire supported a network of civilian and military installations and facilities across the planet. So who cares about our unprotected border or drugs or the derelict state of our electrical grid, crumbling roads and bridges, failing education system, and unserviceable national debt when there's priorities like stealing resources by installing compliant leader in South American and African countries, protecting the oil fields in the Middle East, protecting private interests in Asia exploiting cheap and slave labor, and isolating Russian with a goal of controlling their resources too. There are two Americas, America the country and America the Empire. When we go to the polls to vote we think we're voting for people to represent our country but the people we elect are really there to represent the interests of the Empire. Almost nobody understands this distinction and you're certainly not going to get an education on the subject in the schools or from the media.

The problem is these academic idiots are way too stupid to comprehend that almost all of the improvements in the human condition and quality of life have resulted from the so called white supremacy culture. So they can give it all up and go live in their caves and mud huts.

That could very well be the situation. But most organizations also have code of conduct requirements that throw around terms like integrity and honesty. So aren't administrators and surgeons that lie just as accountable for their violations as a nurse? But none of that explains why the FBI would insert themselves into a quarrel between an employer and employee. Their involvement provides the impression that if the issue was, say, unnecessary appendectomy operations they wouldn't have inserted themselves into the conversation. Given the topic is something contentious like gender affirming surgeries the takeaway is the action signals the government is making it clear they're taking sides. Perhaps the hospital is doing these surgeries but hiding it by coding a different procedure and diagnosis code for submission to insurance? Which is medical insurance fraud. But that's pure speculation. In my line of work I have access to around 140,000,000 de-identified patients, electronic health records, medical and pharmacy claims, etc., and I could very easily check into it by running queries against those files and search for the specific procedure and diagnosis codes along with the provider ID for that hospital for a selected date of service time period. But I'm not that curious and I don't want the FBI visiting me anytime soon. 😏

Shouldn't a trained nurse observing, and perhaps participating in, surgical procedures at a hospital which has publicly expressed a claim they're not performing those surgeries be allowed to express a professional and informed conclusion without retribution that somebody is taking liberties with the truth?

The Biden administration continues to insist the problem isn't the economy, which is great, rather the problem is the perception of the economy by citizens of our country. You see, the problem is you. So goes the governments war against reality.

But if you see a fire in a theater and yell fire you can do so without fear of retribution from the "authorities".

I have no strong opinion either way but the Louisiana State legislature is not Congress.

Forced obedience to lies and punishment for speaking the truth don't sound like tenants of democracy.

A wall kept the Greeks out of Troy until they let the Trojan Horse in through the main gate. An when the pro-Palestine demonstrators showed up at the White House what happened? Why they built a wall. You should have let them know it wouldn't work before they went through all that trouble. LOL..

If its not Hillary then Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer might be found some morning with their hands tied behind their backs with 10 gunshots which the medical examiner will rule were suicides.
