    ...so as a pretty politically astute poster and with me being an apparently "not the brightest bulb in the lighting store" type, what did the US, proclaimed (NOT self proclaimed) as the "world's greatest super power EVER do to have the progressives find the need to "knock us off that pedestal", wanting to punish us to become a a middle of the pack also ran?.....if we are THAT bad, why do so many other nations depend on us for their defense, support and financial aid?......how does scum like Soros et al promulgate our demise?.......did I miss the memo or am I THAT naive?.....

    The USA has ancient Rome's problems. We are spread so thin around the world in service of defending free trade via the Bretton Woods system, that we now have decades worth of foreign investments that have taken on lives of their own based on geography. Our politicians are bribed and blackmailed from entities on every continent. These elements have thoroughly penetrated the Republic since WW2, and then of course we have our problems from the decades before WW2. Globalism is dead, and unlimited growth has now reached its limit. If you view the world from the 1890s, then current events says that the world will revert to that global model of regionally dominant powers. The USA is withdrawing from defending global trade routes for free. Trillions of dollars in assets priced in the US dollar at risk, and so, the chaos of nations finding safe havens for investment yields the acting out in desperation. Internationally, power is devolving from all centralized regimes to the local level, as that is the accelerating trend in global supply chains. The bright side is that, as bad as things will get for us during this withdrawal, the rest of the world is ill equipped to transition as fast as we can. Of all the major economies, we rely the least on selling our goods via these routes. 

     

    The world faces demographic collapse also, which makes the losses in war even more costly. We have every advantage. Biden is supported by those who wish to save this former global order, but even if he wins, it's doomed to fail regardless. Geography will matter again, and we are in a prime position to pull back, regroup, and watch the world beg us on bleeding knees for assistance. It's a matter of leverage and patience. Any nation cut off from the US dollar is royally screwed.

  3. It is interesting how there are so many here that support corporate fascism. These tech companies would not exist with support from DARPA and other federal agencies. Google is an extension of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. Also, how does a government allegedly bound by the Constitution, have the ability to partner with a private citizen to create a legal "entity" that has far more liability protections than the citizen, while claiming to not be bound by the Constitution. No one would create a corporation if not for the liability protections that it affords, and that is due to partnering with a government sanctioning body, such as the State Department whereby the "entity" is birthed and registered. I suppose everyone endorses fascism now as long as it satisfies an accepted public narrative.

    Rounding the corner with Captain Ahole at the wheel:

     

    The words of Dr. William Haseltine, an internationally renowned infectious disease expert, summarized the resounding—and sobering—takeaway from several public health experts and epidemiologists who spoke to The Daily Beast on Saturday, hours after the U.S. smashed its previous record of new daily COVID-19 cases. The country hit 83,757 reported infections in one day on Friday, while hospitalizations rocketed across the nation by 40 percent.

     

    The problem, experts say, isn’t Friday’s number. It’s the upward trajectory.

    “It’s going to get a lot worse,” said Dr. Haseltine, who was at the heart of the U.S response to the HIV/AIDS and anthrax crises. “We’re looking at easily an excess of 100,000 infections a day and overwhelmed hospitals all over the country.”

    Cuomo is taking reservations now for ventilators. Don't forget to sign up.

    2. Her character was 15 and Rudy took the interview understanding she was 15. Laid on the bed and started playing with himself while thinking she was 15.

     

    To your "even if it did, they are adults" ... Then why are you posting about Hunter? They're consenting adults and Hunter at least thought she's of age while doing it.

    So you admit that the evidence on Hunter is real. Good. You will enjoy the rest of the presentation as the weeks continue.

    Awesome to know. You seem more of an NPC parroting right wing talking points than digesting any sort of real news.

     

    The article I brought up was to look at Republican internal polls. These are showing Trump doing worse than 2016. These thoughts have been echoed by the Republican senators who are distancing themselves. Just yesterday Trump said they're likely to lose the Senate as well. Why do they think these things? Republican internal polling.

     

    Republican Senators Ben Sesse with actual look at Republican internal polling said: “We are staring down the barrel of a blue tsunami"

     

     

    You seem addicted to propaganda and self-delusion. That is your problem, not mine.

    Mark Short, VP Mike Pence's chief of staff, plus at least 2 other VP staffers, have tested positive for Covid-19.   Mike Pence will continue his campaign tour instead of quarantining for 14 days as CDC guidelines recommends because being a politician running for office makes him "an essential worker".   

     

    WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows apparently tried to suppress the news of these positive tests.

    Amy thoughtful analysis today or just going to spam the board with YouTube videos that have nothing to do with the thread?

    Who is Amy?

     

    Amy Coney Barrett will join the SCOTUS.

     

    Trump will be president for another term.

     

    My videos have to do with your mental deficiencies in terms of digesting current events with any sort of accuracy based on psychological flaws and programmed bias.

     

    You might qualify as a parrot or an echo in another life, not much else though...

     

    Don't worry though, we will all have a most excellent Thanksgiving this year.

     

    I am already grateful.

    Found this analysis interesting on Republican internal polling:

     

    https://www.kimt.com/content/national/572826622.html

     

    I looked at more than a dozen of these partisan polls released to the public from House and Senate races since the major party conventions in August. These partisan polls are notoriously unreliable, and none of them meet CNN standards for reporting.

    The reason is simple: Partisans don't want to release polls that are bad for their side. That means the polls sponsored by a party, candidate or partisan organization tend to be biased in favor of the side releasing the poll.

    That's why it was amazing to find that on average, Trump was doing 5 points worse than he did in 2016 in the states and districts in released Republican and conservative polls.

    If Trump actually did 5 points worse than he did in 2016 in the swing states, it would mean he'd lose Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Those states, plus the ones Hillary Clinton won in 2016, would be more than enough for Biden to get over 270 electoral votes.

    But remember: These are only the polls conservatives and Republicans were willing to put into the public sphere. There's good reason to believe it's worse for Trump in the numbers they're not releasing.

    There's no denial there. If anything it's a whataboutism.

     

    With the whatabouts being:

     

    1. Trump has a secret bank account and lied about it being closed 

    2. Another one of Trump's personal lawyers is on trouble, this time for trying to have sex with a 15 year old girl

     

    1)Which Chinese bank was this account in and when?

     

    2)The 15 year old girl you mentioned is 24 years old, and nothing sexual happened. Even if it did, they are adults.
