100% correct. At the grassroots level, Republicans truly do want to dramatically shrink the size, power, and spending of government, and totally eliminate deficits and debt. And they truly do want to crack down hard on and stop illegal immigration. But, as you said, the higher levels of the party are infiltrated and controlled by "RINOs" or "elitists" or whatever you want to call them -- who are actually closet Leftists and betray their conservative supporters by promoting policies that advance the socialist and "globalist" (New World Order) agendas. That's why, for instance, the Republicans did not repeal Obamacare in the first few years of Trump's Presidency...and why Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush (and John McCain) supported amnesty for illegal aliens. Just yesterday, I saw that Republican Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn (TX) are now supporting the DACA amnesty for illegals and trying to team up with the Democrats to pass a bill for it.pineknollshoresking said:When you say neither party is interested in fixing... well, I agree.

Guess what? We elected them! I still encourage you to watch the video I posted as that will lay out how the whole system is screwed up. The Republican Party is controlled opposition, at least the leadership is.
Tillis has to be one of the worst Senators in Washington! He is a Karl Rove hack! Bought and paid for by the Republican Elites!

But with the looming insolvency of SS, and Medicare/Medicaid, we might be there sooner than we'd like.
Quote:
'We're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. That's not hyperbole. Since the Civil War." The president of the United States, a man long known for hyperbole, doth protest too much. Biden's speech Tuesday at the National Constitution Center yet again invoked the January 6 riot at the Capitol, but his theme was that new voting and election laws passed by Republican state legislatures are a "21st century Jim Crow assault" on voting rights. This is irresponsible and dishonest; worse, it is dangerous.
Quote:
One of the few specifics offered in his speech was the claim that, "in Texas . . . [the] Republican-led state legislature wants to allow partisan poll watchers to intimidate voters and imperil impartial poll workers." The Texas law does no such thing; indeed, the current draft of the bill requires poll watchers to take an oath "that I will not disrupt the voting process or harass voters in the discharge of my duties."
Blows my mind and makes my blood pressure go sky high. The same people that for 4 years called Trump and his followers fascists are all of a sudden silent while there might actually be fascism.packofwolves said:

Actually, the debt ceiling is around the corner (a couple of months). Watch... the Democrats and the MSM will say the Republicans are putting the credit of the US at risk. Ask yourself this, didn't they say that during the Obama admin. What changed? Nothing got fixed, and it will not again, unless you call your congressional people and tell them to stop the damn spending and don't increase the debt ceiling.

All the government had to do was take that money and put it in an individual savings accounts for each person in the amount that they contributed and then invested it in any fund that was tied to the market. The market has historically grown by 3% annually and everyone who paid into that particular system wouldn't have any sort of issue with retiring and then getting their money. Spouses should get the money of someone if they died, and if both people were dead then that money should go to any surviving children. It would of been that simple but the government is incapable of any type of logical thinking. Instead they spend it without thinking.
I did a little bit of math and without calculating and of the interest I would have made off of the money I should be looking at between 350k-400k just off of what the government takes from me if i decided to retire at 65. if you calculate the 3% a year return on average I should have over 700k that I should be able to collect in social security. Even if you take that money and break it out evenly on the assumption that I would live to 100 with the interest i should be looking at between 30k-32k a year just on my social security. Instead the government gets involved and i would get 12k-13k a year.
What a damn joke man.
I can break out Medicate/medicaid as well....but i think i've made my point on just the social security issue

Remember, the US credit is you, it's me, it's everyone here... We can't afford to extend the debt ceiling!

The biggest scam was selling SS as a retirement system you "pay into" to receive your benefit. It is and always has been a direct wealth transfer from workers to retirees.
If it was a valid investment, it's a terrible one. You've gone through the numbers already but it's about the worst way you could save money. Individual retirement accounts that were set up automatically and could be opted out of would function much, much better for the vast majority

That right there is going to allow Trump to win the lawsuit against the Tech Company's. The Supreme Court has frowned upon the government suggesting company's do things. This is going to allow Trumps legal team to assert these tech company's (even though private) are doing pseudo government work.wolfman18 said:Jen Psaki just suggested that people spreading misinformation be banned from other/all platforms if they're banned from one. pic.twitter.com/SlNXJTXi0I

It boggles the mind that we're hearing such proposals made with a straight face in an era when chief executives are themselves such prodigious liars. A Ministry of Truth under the control of a guy who says voting in the U.S. in 2021 is worse than it was under Jim Crow? Are we turning into China, where artists are under standing orders to "adhere to correct views of history, the nation, the country, and culture"?
If the government can work with Facebook, there is nothing stopping it from also working with Google, Twitter, Apple, CNN, and the New York Times to enforce its vision of the truth. What Psaki is suggesting amounts to the White House's asserting the right to censor any information it doesn't like.
Labeling assertions "disinformation" is in most cases simply begging the question; virtually everything is disputed. Liberals used to grasp that the way to win an argument is to have the facts on your side, not appeal to an authority figure to gag your opponent.
This administration becomes more Orwellian by the day.Quote:
Whenever politicians ring the alarm bell, it's almost always because they want more power. Shame on the many journalists who are nodding vigorously along as the White House proposes to shred the First Amendment.

Maybe this one will blow up on Psaki with the MSM.....but I'm trying to imagine the ****-show that would have ensued if one of Trump's press secretary's had said that same thing.

This is complete Nazi Germany of the 30's. Psaki said today that if one social media platform bans you then all should ban you for disinformation. Funny how these government shills want to be the arbiter of what you can and can't say. Our whole Bill of Rights are under attack, but right now they are going hard after the 1st and 2nd amendments. I will not comply.

Actually, I am following it closely. Things are happening in all the swing states. We are in for a very interesting time. Remember, people will say that the election can't be pulled down; however, nothing says a state can't call back Senators. You can bet everything in your personal portfolio that the Dems do not, rightfully, control the US Senate and probably not he US House!!!
Like I said above... Trump will win his lawsuit. My understanding is that they filed in the southern district of Florida (don't know the circuit). Justice Thomas presides over that circuit. He has written a lot of opinions showing he is willing to take up this case.
Cowboy, you're probably right; however, the Senate in Arizona looks to be damn adamant to fix their election. I guess we will see how far there're willing to go... The lady Senator (can't think of her name) appears to have bigger balls than the men.cowboypack02 said:pineknollshoresking said:There is no reason to post anything about the election... if you do, you will cast out as a maniac, conspiracy theorist, etc, etc, etc...

I hate to be the one to say it but states aren't going to pull back senators or anyone else. If the GOP had a single ounce of fight in them they'd of done something months ago while the vote certification was going on. They didn't and my guess is that most of the GOP politicians are more that happy that Biden is in office. Gives them something to fundraise on and another excuse for why they don't do anything their voters want them to
