US Citizenry: What's your Breaking Point?!

If you're too damn sensitive, hypersensitive, and/or Woke, Do Not Read this. It's not Politically Correct...

• The so called Grandfather of the United States had the gall to hand the American Taxpayers and Consumers a Tax Bill for $100 Billion Dollars for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, the same Guy who couldn't find his way off a stage or falls asleep during meetings is telling us what we need to do!!!

• Lloyd Austin had the unbridled audacity and stupidity to tell the Press that the United States Military is strong enough to and can project Power on both fronts for Israel Ukraine; DID THIS UTTER JACKASS FORGET THE STUPIDITY SQUARED HORRORS OF VIETNAM, THE BARBECUE PIT OF AFGHANISTAN, AND THE VIETNAM STYLE STRATEGIC BLUNDER FOR OIL IN IRAQ???!!!

It's time we got past this gutless, unrealistic approach to Government, Education, Healthcare, the Entitlement System, Unfunded Liabilities and everything else that Political Indentured Servants don't want to fess up or admit the Truth. Some have said we're not slouching toward Gomorrah. They may be right, We're not slouching toward Sodom and Gomorrah; we're galloping toward there. More than that, we're probably by now galloping around the town square in Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't do something about it, we will have lost the Moral foundations that sustain our Rights, Freedoms, and Liberty.

We need Smart, Intelligent, and fearless People in our Government who aren't so interested in pandering for their Jobs, nor Votes, that they're unwilling to look "We The People" in the eye and speak the unvarnished Truth.

The question of the last several years has not been about Bill Clinton's, Baby Bush's, Barack Obama's, Donald Trump's, or Joe Biden's character, or the US Government's character or Leaders' character; IT'S ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER and about how much longer the American Voters, Taxpayers, and Consumers going to tolerate the very destruction and disintegration of every decent principle of American Life and Constitutional Principle, starting with the Principle that ought to guarantee the safe and sound life of our Children and Grandchildren.

• When the Hell are the American Public, Taxpayers, and Consumers going to wake the **** up?!

• When are we going to give a damn enough about our Futures to stop listening to all the selfish appeals and start acting like the Citizenry WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE and tell those Imbeciles and Buffoons on Capitol Hill and State Capitols We've had enough of You and ENOUGH IS ENOUGH???!!!

• When the Hell are we going to care about the Country's future and about our Constitutional Right to OUR Posterity, and not just about yourself, or Taylor Swift or the G**damn Kardashians?!

This Country, its Power, it's Wealth, and everything it offers belongs to its rightful Owner, We The People. We need to act like its rightful Owners!...

@Applepiedom You go right ahead and be a helicoper. Doesn't bother me none. It doesn't pick my pocket or break my leg so no worries.
@redredred Really? How many of them can you name? And can you produce any evidence that you ever GAF about women's sports except as a way to attack trans athletes? How do you feel about the pay differential between men's and women's sports - that's just the "free market," right?

People who heartily approve of female athletes being paid a fraction of what male athletes get, shouldn't be allowed to cry crocodile tears over the tiny fraction of women losing spots on teams to trans women.
@Applepiedom Cool. Can you give me a ride?

The US Citizenry get the United States Government they themselves Vote For, Support, Go Along With, Enable, and Deserve...

All I really want to know is;

How many more US Soldiers Lives, innocent Civilians and Foreign Nationals, Blowback, and Unintended Consequences are the US Citizenry willing to trade for the sake of filling the Pipeline of Money from THEIR wallets and Bank Accounts to the Military Industrial Congressional Complex?!

How many more Lives, Failures Corruption, Bunglings, and Crimes will the American Electorate and Voters continue to tolerate in order to "Play the Fool" for the Lies and High Crimes of THEIR US Government?!

How much more Blood does the American Taxpayers and Consumers want on THEIR hands for Indentured Patriotism to the same Government that steals and abrogates THEIR own Constitutional Rights?!

How is it possible that the American Voters, Taxpayers, and Consumers can have this Deaf, Dumb and Blind Allegiance to the same US Government that wants them to fight Unconstitutional, Illegal, Immoral, Criminal, sadistic Wars of Aggression, Wars for Oil, Wars of Attrition, and Wars of Subsidization; However, the US Government steals their Money, denegrates it, then forces the US Citizenry to Pay for the same War Crimes?!

How much more of their Tax Dollars do they want to be paying for their complicity in Crimes against Humanity and Crimes against the Peace?!

How is it that no matter how much "Collateral Damage" resulting from these utterly illegal War Crimes, someone is sadistic enough to defend the indefensible?!

After all, it seems easier to live a life of a Lie and a baffling fool to feel better about oneself, Self-Congratulatory, and uplifted than it is to face the unintended consequences of Ones actions, then bear responsibility for Ones complicity. NO ONE'S talking about the Economic ramifications of Warmongering, the Economics of Aggression and Attrition, or the Economics of War Subsidization since "Rattling the Sabre" doesn't come cheap.

Who the Hell is going to explain to the American Taxpayers and Consumers what happens when the US Dollar loses its World Reserve Currency Status?!

When the United States Government is brought to its knees due to a $30+ Trillion Dollar Debt cesspool, and Trillion Dollar Deficits as far as the eye can see, the Dependency of the Welfare/Warfare State, and our Phony Monopoly Game Money isn't worth the damn Paper its printed on?!

THEN WHAT?!

@Broache73 Then the world moves on, as it did after the Greeks, the Romans and the British. The question will be whether the US is left a lesser power, gradually fading, or a shattered hulk, having chewed itself to pieces...😷

the US military can easily handle Ukraine and Israel at the same time. We only use a small percentage of our power. We just don't want to get into a shooting war with a nuclear power like Russia.

Having said that, Joe Biden is an incompetent moron.

The U.S. needs to cut military spending and invest in Domestic Improvements.

--The U.S. needs a war powers act prohibiting sending military forces to engage another nation UNLESS Congress passes a declaration of war. Not another Vietnam, not another Afghanistan, ever.
--We need a mandatory annual independent audit of pentagon spending. with serious penalties (jail time and massive fines) for defense contractors who overcharge.
---No more tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, such as was foolishly passed in 2017.
-- A ban on off-shore tax havens for the wealthy and corporations. They must pay their taxes like the rest of us.
--No more bail-outs and subsides for corporations and Wall Street.
--Law setting an upper limit on corporate CEO compensation. As of 2021 CEO's received [b]350 times[/b] the wage of average workers. In 1965 it was 20-1, in 1987 it was 59-1.

Our taxes should go to [b]domestic improvements[/b] - universal healthcare, free college education, affordable housing, job training, public transit, investment in infrastructure, fighting climate change.

[b]We must invest in our country, NOT in endless wars and unfairly enriching corporations, Wall Street, and the wealthy. [/b]

And as the nations rightful owners the world would like to know when each and every one of you plan to pay back the $70,000 each of you owes the world for goods and services that have already been delivered to you on credit and consumed...All the other countries could use the money...😷

@HoraceGreenley You are perfectly entitled to your opinion in this public forum no matter how half @$$ed it is. And you are also entitled to MY opinion. Suck it up Princess..😷

@HoraceGreenley And you clearly dont like being called a Fascist, in spite of having most of the characteristics of one. Good for you. maybe you will evolve from this...😷
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
fighting/winning battles has never been our problem; it's cowardly, compromising politicians meddling in military affairs that hurts us...

We could've easily won in Vietnam were it not for idiotic no fly zones and restrictions against bombing strategic targets

Afghanistan & Iraq would've been a simple matter as well were it not for politically pushed ROE that had our hands tied behind our backs

Desert Storm is the example we should follow, give complete control to a competent general like Norman Schwarzkopf (Stormin' Noman), and the Iraqis got the shit kicked out of them...
Seems like.. it has to effect them directly before they start thinking..
watching everyone else’s world fall apart isn’t enough… 🍿

The best thing we could do is go back to a currency backed by precious metals and stop printing money out of thin air. It would end the Federal Reserve, the wars the Banksters manipulate to keep their pockets lined and everything associated with it. Also would stop the never ending inflation and homes etc would become affordable combined with much lower taxes. Would help prevent so
Much homelessness as well
Broache73 · 46-50, F
@cherokeepatti

Excellent and completely right, One problem after another would solve themselves if that was the case! The Ammunition at those of us who understand the underlying problems and those telling the truth is grossly misdirected, that Ammunition belongs to the "Representatives and Senators" the Voters voted for and went along with, and they themselves also have to look in the Mirror at the Person who tolerated Fraud and the Sham in the first place. Why get mad at the Person who told you that you got scammed, Why aren't you mad at the Person who scammed you?!

I myself loved when and how Ralph Nader ramshackled the Corporate Indentured Democratic Parties during his Candidacy. He rolled over them like a freight train;

Stop blaming and scapegoating Third Party Candidates and look in the Mirror and ask yourselves why it is that you cannot landslide and slamdunk the most Ignorant, Corrupt, Criminal, Corporate Indentured Republican Party in History?! Look in the Mirror!
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Broache73 You’re right on about how one problem after another would solve itself. I read about such things in the late 60’s
SteelHands · 61-69, M
Don't go blaming the American People when you know you gotta be a very poor observer of reality not to know that the world's worst president in the history of the world wasn't voted in.

Amen ...Amen..and Amen ...

I was just thinking this morning about the over 100 billion dollars Biden is wanting to give to Ukraine and Ireal when we are in the biggest deficit in history !!! WTF !
Thank you for all of that
MarineBob · 56-60, M
@Midlifemale right now we cant even pay the interest on what we are borrowing to give away
GuiltyBiStander · 31-35, F
Thanks for rant .

Let us all know how you did the arithmetic and figured out that government should cost nothing.

Then I'll vote more funds for math education 🙄
Broache73 · 46-50, F
@GuiltyBiStander

The vast majority of the American Public, Taxpayers, and Consumers are appallingly ignorant of US History and how the United States Government operates when it comes to Oil, Money, and Warmongering. If the US Government can profit, they recognize NO moral boundaries...

• You should answer the question;

If Big Government was so efficient, How is it that the US Government has a Sticker Shock of $200 Trillion Dollars worth of Unfunded Liabilities which all the Taxes on the Continental United States cannot pay for?!

How is it that the same US Politicians you yourself voted for made Phantom Promises of Safety, Security, and endless Prosperity, yet we still ended up with the tragedy and retaliation of the 9/11 Attacks and the 2008 Financial Crisis?!

At some point, Bernie Madoff and R. Allen Stanford knew the ballgame would be over, US Taxpayers and Consumers will know it too
GuiltyBiStander · 31-35, F
@Broache73

You don't know shit about how I voted.

But none of this is really about voting - it's about following .

So pick your leader, and let's see where you end up.
BigGuy2 · 26-30, M
@Broache73 ... you WON'T get a response, as you're providing FACTS to these NUTJOBS
Carissimi · 70-79, F
They don’t care. In fact, I believe their plan is to destroy this country, and they are doing a good job of it, so far. Something dastardly and hateful has infiltrated the fabric of western society.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
When we quit being selfish. Everyone only thinks about themselves and not the greater good.
Midlifemale · 61-69, M
@Livingwell We have too much freedom in this country. So many men and women have died in wars to protect our freedom and we abuse that privilege in so many ways. We should march all of our criminals through our military cemeteries on the way to jails to see all of the people who gave their lives to keep us safe.....and see how much remorse they have.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
@Midlifemale I think you used the wrong word at first but captured the issue. We have lots of freedom but we should see it as a privilege and not abuse it as you point out. I don't think many give much thought to the sacrifices of others for our freedoms. Our leaders certainly don't. So if they don't, why should anyone else?

Where are [i]they[/i] going to come from?
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@SW-User Well, you could start by only allowing those who have served in the military to run for office. Would it guarantee a winner?? No. But it would eliminate a whole bunch of losers... You have to start somewhere.😷

One point needs to be made over and over again. There is absolutely no reason to like the president. I don’t like my cardiologist. I see him because he is an excellent doctor.

Political races devolve into popularity contests with little or no concern given to competence. I don’t actually like any of the last six presidents but by any measure Trump was the most competent.

I see things as they really are not as I wish they really were or as I want them to be
Murkans don't care. They're not political. They hate me and you're probably detestable to them as well. Too bad the ecosystem had to die, but Murkans are really that skilled in hateful killing with a smile.
Taiwan, Israel Ukraine. Three jackpots against the left and for Murka.

Oh my, when you took from another...Indigenous, let me wrap my mind what you insinuate as entitlement, to see is it as ignorance and move on..... there's much more loving takes on the world, accepting, sorry anger got in your way. How's the anger working when you have it better than many?

What is it that you believe is the truth that needs to be spoken here? Because from the story I see, we have an entire political party proclaiming government is terrible at doing things well and then spending their time in power sabotaging the government's ability to do things well. Then they cut taxes on rich people, reducing our revenues and then complain about how much we're spending. If we're so worried about debt maybe allocate more money to paying it off before letting Uncle Pennybags get a few million bucks from the treasury this year. Meanwhile, the private sector is holding the common man upside down by his ankles and trying to shake the pocket change out of him. Health insurance companies consolidated to dictate prices to hospitals and doctors, so then doctors and hospitals consolidated to protect against that all the while the patient gets bilked on both ends. And now insurers are straight up buying hospitals. That's going to turn out great.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@ViciDraco Yep.. That pretty well covers it. And it always will as long as donation maony can flow from the corporate people to the senators and congressmen. A corrupt system has no checks and balances..😷
Applepiedom · 56-60, M
Yes and it starts with voting
Applepiedom · 56-60, M
@wildbill83 I agree ,I'm saying if you care you vote. The cheaters still cheat but people throwing their hands up dont help.
Freaking vote
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
@Applepiedom true, but it's usually the people that whine about Trump that are too lazy to vote... or claim they're unable to obtain an ID to vote (they can afford a $100/month phone bill, but they can't afford a $5 ID...)
Applepiedom · 56-60, M
@wildbill83 I agree we need id. But lots and lots just flat don't vote. Its a freaking lazy reasoning
MarineBob · 56-60, M
The prosecution of President Trump has now passed the 1 trillion dollar mark.
@MarineBob Where did you get that figure?

BTW, the Mueller investigation made a [i]profit.[/i] Mueller found that Paul Manafort was cheating on his taxes with undeclared income; he and others convicted by Mueller paid over $20 million in fines, covering the cost of the investigation.
@MarineBob And it's worth every penny!
