A country's currency does not lose 20% of its value in a growth cycle unless that growth is purely of a nominal nature fueled by inflation. Add in massive government spending and deficits to fuel consumption and social assistance that provide little to no long term value and I think that's what we've got here. You can't borrow yourself to prosperity while digging your own financial grave by carrying massive debts which have become your biggest recurring expense.

I thought the only guy your cult hates more than Trump is Mike Pence? For some reason, public enemy number one of the LGBTQ nation.

The term "bleeding heart liberal" comes to mind when examining views on crime. Libs believe people committing crimes are "victims". The actual victims of crime not so much. Victims of the system, victims of bias, victims of broken homes, victims of one ism or another that creates an under-privileged situation. So they think the act of cutting them some slack and showing compassion will magically transform them into model citizens. But the results are mixed at best. There's a couple major problems with this theory the biggest being there's no concern or awareness for the consequences others will face, like being murdered, if this theory doesn't pan out. Another is while they're typically elitist whites with advanced college degrees, their superior intellect somehow fails to lead them to the understanding that people that commit crimes of violence don't think the way they think. They think like criminals. They think about the present and nothing much of the future and don't consider long-term consequences of their behavior. Because there is no long-term when the short-term is consumed with survival. These folks aren't thinking about their 401-K plan in 2050. You cutting them a break sends the signal you're a patsy and an easy mark, somebody that can be played.

Tell the truth. Let's not pretend. You might love Liz Chaney and smoother her with admiration and praise for now but you or any of your cult would never vote for her in any election at any level. Her only redeeming "quality" is sharing an opposition to Trump. Once the threat to power created by Trump has been eliminated she becomes useless. Right? So much TBS still. Given that I'm reminded of this fun and entertaining blog I saw earlier in the month. The author's theory about "The Trumpenstein Project". https://donaldjeffries.substack.com/p/trumpenstein-and-the-death-of-politics

At the moment the Port of Baltimore is closed. I expect until after an investigation is completed and the clasped sections of the bridge are removed from the channel.

If I got into my time machine and went back 20 years and told Democrats that in 2024 they'd be singing the praises of anyone named Chaney they'd laugh me out of there.

What it reminds you of is not a concern. The numbers are the numbers. If you think they're wrong or the methodology is defective, please explain.

Rather then where you get your news the question is how do you know who to believe and who not to believe? What sources to trust and what sources not to trust? Does anyone actually know these people personally? Know them well enough to say they have trust in them? Know their character and ethics? Most I suspect rely on confirmation bias. For example, the New York Times. Its known they have an activist approach to journalism heavily skewed to the left. Why should I believe their reporting is going to be an unbiased fact driven news story rather than something else if the "facts" contradict their beliefs and telling the truth "hurts" their interests? Why should I believe Fox reporters are giving me straight fact and truth driven news rather than a sprinkling of personal op/ed and a conservative slant? Why do most trust one or the other, while few trust both, and even fewer trust neither?

The message for Joe and his clown show is, you broke it you fix it. Issue an executive order declaring a state of emergency and shut down the border.

Biden's worried about losing Michigan in November.

The fun part of all this intelligence and spy business absent firsthand knowledge is you don't really ever know who is telling the truth and who is lying.

The unique circumstance in this attack is the presumption the 4 attackers Russia claims they apprehended heading toward the Ukraine border are the group that actually executed the attack, were captured and not killed. They did not blow themselves up to take as many infidels with them as possible. At a glace this doesn't appear to be a religious motivated attack, more a pay for hire type arrangement. Whether they were part of ISIS-K or Special-K may be immaterial. The handlers of the group of 4 may well be ISIS-K or recruited and paid by ISIS-K but what isn't know is who might be, if anyone, the handlers of ISIS-K here? Russian state security is claiming one of the attackers has already confessed and stated they received their instructions and funding through a Telegram social media channel (something I'm not at all familiar with). How hard can that be to track? If this was simply a terrorist group attack or some orchestrated intelligence operation by some government organization, sanctioned or unsanctioned, they've left a lot of breadcrumbs and a trail to follow. This surely has a way to go before it all plays out. For me that takes the US/CIA or UK/MI6 types out of the picture because their ops are not going to leave any loose ends. But other less skilled State actors, not sure.

I'm sure every State and local election official in all 50 states and DC of both parties will give this problem priority and their full support and immediately address and resolve any inaccuracies with voter rolls because there's nothing more important than free and fair elections. Oh wait, one things more important. Winning and staying in power.

Saw this quote from a Russian X posters perspective and I wasn't sure whether to insert this quote in the illegal immigration topic or here (I had some issues copy/paste so just lifted the text). But it resonates with the situation at our southern border and expresses concerns that are eerily similar except maybe our problem is 100x larger. "Whenever some particularly heinous crime occurs in Russia – a terrorist attack, or child murder, or similarly depraved acts – the public debate on the return of the death penalty makes a comeback. While I am not fundamentally opposed to it – just the opposite, actually – I would like to see some systemic reforms to the Russian legal system before I’d unambiguously support such a move. In any case, in my opinion, in the current case it’s just populism. Understandable, not incorrect per se, but still emotionally motivated. In the case of actual religious fanatics (which the Tajik terrorists don’t really seem to be), the death penalty is not really a deterrent, anyway – these people expect their demonic parody of “martyrdom” and even desire it. I suspect that Russian politicians will make a big deal out of demanding to bring back the death penalty because it omits the legal changes that would actually increase safety: a very tough stance on immigration law & enforcement, and border security. Letting hundreds of thousands of unvetted immigrants from Central Asian countries into Russia just to satisfy the lobby network of corrupt politicians, diaspora organizations and semi-slave trading employers is a terrible, terrible mistake that has already cost Russia dearly many times. The current policies have created a huge underclass of people who are separated from Russian society through language and cultural barriers and are easily recruited into either crime or extremism. Shooting the animals who attacked Crocus City Hall would be profoundly just, of course, but it’s not going to solve the underlying problem of uncontrolled mass migration creating the circumstances for easy terrorist recruitment – ESPECIALLY when there's a whole country, with a superpower backing it up, ready to utilize these conditions for its own goals. Uncontrolled mass migration from Central Asia is already an integral aspect of Ukrainian/NATO hybrid warfare against Russia, and it will only become worse if nothing changes". My words: Substitute China for Ukrainian/NATO and I think that's what America is up against.

I had forgotten we even had a VP until this topic came to the top of the list today. What's she been up to lately besides hiding from taking any accountability for the mess this clown car adminitration has created?

There is no argument. Learn context. And full sentences.

It's a battle between reality vs delusion. Currently delusion has revoked all rules governing civil society. The sane and rational have to come to terms with the reality that the insane are playing without rules or limits. No more going along to get along. The necessary response to this should be clear.

Agree. Every country has intelligence services that gather intelligence and information for their respective government's while mis and dis informing everybody else.

Given the current sad state of world affairs i don't trust or believe anyone.

This "ISIS" attack seems unique as typically they are suicide missions. Doesn't fit their MO. Committing an act of terrorism then blowing themselves up or being killed in some fire fight. But Russia has claimed the capture of 4 attackers and several others while asserting they were fleeing the scene heading for Ukraine. Allowing yourself to be captured doesn't demonstrate the usual level of commitment to the cause. Under interrogation and certain torture we can expect they'll be talking.

Why impeach Biden? He's a walking natural disaster. Let his administration continue their destruction of America act. Why give the Domocrats a gift? Letting them get rid of Joe and presenting a 2024 candidate that just might know what they're doing and energize the base. Who can get excited about another 4 years of Joe Biden? Let this clown show continue with consistent bad policy and even worse decisions. It's almost guaranteed every aspect of life is going to get worse for Americans.

As having no interest in reading the book, I'm curious if any of that classified doc information found its way into the book? Clear evidence beyond any reasonable doubt Joe shared classified documents with a person without clearance. If some underling at some agency or department did the same they'd be perp-walked pronto. Thank God we've got men of good character like AG Garland equally and faithfully under oath of office enforcing the rule of law. Piss your pants rolling with laughter over believing that.

Whatever implications may develop for the Biden administration I'm certain Trump will be blamed.

Climate change experts are warning its going to be warmer during the next few months.

Look up the word "useless" and her picture will be the first thing returned to define the word.
