Fair questions imo.

But this is nothing new, either. The admin claims credit for the good things in the economy, blames the other guys for what ails the economy. At the same time, she’s been a major player in Washington since 2017, VP For nearly 4 years, and the number two to a guy who has shaped American and international policy for decades. Her influence is not limited to the last couple of weeks.

Trump may or may not win, and if he doesn’t, we still get up each day. As for the debate, it is what it is. He debated the best the Dems had to offer, and that candidate couldn’t string a sentence together that made any sense. That was the anytime, anywhere debate. As for the second debate against the new bestest candidate, he should insist on a debate setting that works for him. The reality is that Dem loyalists would move from Biden, to Harris, and should Harris stumble, to Sanders or Pelosi or whomever else they were told is the new bestest. As for independents or those who might not be sure, the debate setting is largely irrelevant.

I keep asking because I’m interested in what a person in your field might see as the future. I’m not interested personally, because what seems to be offered isn’t anything I would like. What bothers me here is the “possibly” part of your post. I’m hard-pressed to find a government mandated housing scenario that values quality over economy, freedom of choice over mandated choices, and the ultimate reality that the govt ultimately chooses winners/losers as in any other system. Plus, all that f@rt dust blowing through the vents on the top floors of these communes has to be overwhelming. Hard pass for me.

Thanks for weighing in. I’m always interested in hearing a birds eye view on this sort of thing. A friend of mine purchased a home north of London a year or two ago and loves it. Plans on spending his retirement years there when the time comes. I’m not certain I would view weapon wielding thugs counted in the hundreds/thousands as a tiny disturbance. It looked quite nasty, in fact, and reminds me that while I’m not a gun owner, probably not a bad idea to own a weapon if you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. I’m not persnickety, either, I feel the same way whether the bad guys be far left or far right.

I think about experiments in government mandated/assigned housing in foreign lands…places like the USSR. Is that the solution to today’s crisis—government built complexes, communal living, with x amount of space designated to individuals/families? An improvement on that model? Personally, I think the root cause of the problem is a failure of the government to govern pretty much across the board.

These streets and neighborhoods look very walkable if one removes the roving gangs of miscreants on every street corner. What's the plan to address this sort of societal unrest in the collective, Roundy?

I've got you down in the "Maybe, but probably not..." column, Andrew.

I think it has sort of a cool kick to it. "Yeah man, he hit him square on the jaw--the guy was shoulder toast!". "Say it to my face bro...you'll be shoulder toast!". "Wait 'til your father gets home--then you're shoulder toast!". "Breh, he wiped out. Total shoulder toastage!"

It’s just slippage, really.

And of course, if he represented the like sent accurately, we could certainly discuss the rumor. The problem is he’s deliberately misrepresenting what he’s linked to. Why bother, really?

The record is clear, Fiberius.

Not true. Joe Biden was a truck driving missionary working special ops with Winston Churchill in Algeria in '98-99. There was no need for him to time travel, he was there. Rumor is he's Khelif's father, hooked up with her mother after getting into an Algerian sword fight behind the library at the local middle school. Imane Khelif is actually the new smartest person he knows, something about chromosomal co-mingling.

The market does...what the market does. Economic data, interests rates, unemployment, adversity, housing starts, oil, foreign markets, corruption, truth, fiction and a whole lot of screaming heads constantly telling us the world is at the precipice. For those of us not in the midst of concern about sequence of returns, with a sensible plan that deals in years/decades....optimism is the order of the day imo.

I think reasonable people should consider all parties to the action, the various moving parts and time frame involved. Putin is certainly a part of the problem.

I’ve addressed the rumor from a book that you offered as fact, and I can’t do any more than that. If there is someone lying here, it’s you. I don’t like labelling people like that, though, so I just assume you don’t understand certain things. The agenda of certain authors. The profit motives of publishers. Words. Sanger, as an acknowledged proponent of eugenics, likely would have supported the termination of life of people she found deplorable or irredeemable. That activity would be perceived by Sanger and those like her as a resume booster. I don’t make the rules Tibs.

It’s awesome that imprisoned Americans have been released…however, Biden has been in office for nearly 4 years. If his perspective is that Trump could have secured their release while he was in office, it’s certainly fair to wonder what took him so long to partner with Putin on this release?

Still, those are the people that invested time, heart and health and were integral in building the country. And let’s be fair, in your beloved stackable pod city concept, we’re probably just a generation away from finding cancer-causing materials, black mold, and who knows what else resulting from cost-cutting, bid rigging, or unscrupulous builders/public officials.

I wouldn’t know if there was evidence or not. I know there is some controversy from her past, beyond that, no idea. The original point about the passport proving anything is lazy.

I don't know much about the players, who said what or who's making spurious allegations. I will say, however, that the intrepid journalist's evidence is simply speculation. Governments do all sorts of things, for all different reasons, can be corrupt, can be incompetent and routinely half the population is unhappy with them.

Ah, ok. I tried to synch it with The Wall and The Wizard of Oz kept popping up on my You Tube channel. Thanks for the inside dope.

What’s the dealio with the random capital letters, Frenx? Ive seen that a couple times here.

I interact with people on subjects I find interesting, unusual or in this case, odd. The standard about sticking to the subject was yours, not mine. I can’t say why you deviated from that, but it could be you were too focused on developing your “own the lib” theory. Nice talking to you, though.

Well, that’s strange. The subject of the thread is the attempted assassination of DJT. Did you think that happened in Greenland? Maybe Ritalin, to improve focus.

So…you don’t remember Tibsy comments? That’s strange.
