You’d be able to find it if you spent more time in other parts of the forum. I can’t believe this post from you. It’s the fukkin top post (sticky thread) in Players Talk.

yeah thanks, and what should have made me think to look under that topic?
there is some helpful stuff in there
still no idea how to locate and view a thread like I've been used to doing for 19 years
still no clarification on how to post a full sized image just copied from another site without having to enter the address - Optional referred to "embed" but never explained what he meant

Nonsense.
Mainstream media is too fukking scared to do anything to upset the orange autocrat for fear of retaliation and loss of access.
Look at how the Associated Press has been treated over the Gulf nonsense.
Look at how the WH now determines who has access to daily briefings.
Look at how Trump yesterday said it should be illegal for the press to criticise him.

Presidents Obama and Biden got shit upon regularly by Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, etc.

But you NEVER heard them describe those shit news outlets as "illegal." Not even ONCE.

Trump is out of his fucking mind.

It is pointless based on the fact that it sucked no matter where you were for the majority of people. Just because one place sucks a little less doesn't justify your propaganda talking point to say the 1800's weren't that bad. You wanting to live in the time of Robber Barons doesn't mean the rest of us do. So no, I'm not going to answer a stupid question to justify your garbage that if we make life like it was in the 1800's we would be better off. It's BS and just not true.

You may have posted something but nothing in relation to what your saying and more than likely they were stupid. I have never posted a vid on here from someone that says they are communists. Communism is your catch all to say it's not creditable, and you don't even know what communism is. LOL

It also means austerity, corporate welfare, tax cuts for rich people, anti-union, totalitarianism, corporations controlling the government with money, and YES sewer water. So no, we are not all in favor of that. You trying to sugar coat shit by saying supply side doesn't help.

Private ownership of the means of production, competition to control prices, anti-monopoly measurers, unlimited growth, investment in production, well paid educated work force, regulation to control shotty building poor quality products and dumping sewage in the water. A ton of other shit but I'm sure you get the picture. That said, we don't have capitalism, we have finance capitalism or Neo-liberalism.

Dude, banks and corporations get and need massive government intervention. To think education doesn't is just plain stupid. You clowns are all for bootstraps unless it affects you.

China was given that stuff in exchange for cheap labor. Labor that is used by American corporations while deindustrializing the US. Some have become the richest in the world off China's cheap labor: for example, Walmart. Got news for you, China isn't the only country to exploit it's workers. The US has done it in the past and still does today. Still a fact, China has raised 100 million people out of poverty.

And you think people moved to the other side of the world to a place where they don’t even speak the language and would then send for their friends and family to join them because it sucked a little less? Up to that point in history it was the best place by far for the average person to live, and you know it, you just won’t admit it. I didn’t say make life like it was in the 1800s, I said go back to those free market policies, which caused a massive increase in the standard of living for the average person.

You never posted Richard Wolff? Or is he not a communist now? I posted a lot of studies and lectures from places like Pew Research, the Federal Reserve, NBER, UC Berkeley, etc, and you’ve blown all of it off.

I’m just showing how everyone, yourself included, agree with the mechanics of supply side, which isn’t the same thing as neoliberalism but applies to tax cuts.

No, capitalism is what happens when you have a lot of individual freedom and private property rights. To end or curtail capitalism, you have to curtail those 2 things. Fascism has the private ownership of the means of production, but it’s controlled by the state.

Large corporations want regulations and taxes because it’s harder to compete with them due to the high expenses.

If you think China was given that stuff I suggest you read reports from U.S. Trade Representative the Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property. They estimate China’s IP theft costs our economy .25-.5 trillion a year. In 2018, Fujian Jinhua was indicted for stealing chip designs worth billions. Yes, a lot of Chinese people are no longer in poverty, but again, they did that through stealing IP, not through their own great innovations.

Trump is out of his fucking mind.

The Obama administration literally subpoenaed two months’ worth of phone records from AP journalists in 2013. In 2010, the Holder Justice Dept. labeled James Rosen a potential co conspirator tied to a leak involving N. Korea. Sharyl Attkisson had her computers hacked for being critical of the administration. There was a clear pattern of tracking, subpoenaing records, and legal threats. It did try to ban Fox from being able to join the interview pool for Kenneth Feinberg.

Tom Wheeler Was the FCC chair under Obama said Fox News should face scrutiny over its license if it doesn’t work in the public interest, which would help decide. Representatives Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney sent letters to satellite and cable companies demanding to know why they carried networks like Fox due to misinformation.

Mark Z said the Biden Administration was making legal threats and applying a lot of pressure to censor opponents on Meta.

V.isa approval crisis threatens to cost 2026 World Cup and L.A. Olympics millions

The 2026 World Cup kicks off in less than 500 days and there is mounting concern that the U.S. is not ready to welcome the more than 6 million visitors who will flood North America for the tournament.

Fans, politicians and other stakeholders, including FIFA, the world governing body for soccer, fear rigid immigration rules and long v.isa wait times will make it difficult for supporters and even players to enter the U.S. for the games, tarnishing what FIFA president Gianni Infantino once promised would be the “most inclusive World Cup ever.”

“It’s going to be a massive problem,” said David J. Bier, the associate director for immigration studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian public policy research organization. “There’s no one paying attention to this at all.”

You're missing the point totally.

Did Biden or Obama ever argue that it should be ILLEGAL to post criticisms of the President?

You're confusing that point with legitimate concerns about media deliberately posting or permitting the posting of lies and harmful misinformation.

I think you might be reacting exactly as the right extremists would like to see you reacting.

No thinking person can argue that how Trump is acting is honorable or helpful to the established world order and the traditional Western allies.

Obviously he wants a New World Order. Ya know the thing Republicans have been as hysterical about as you now are being about dictatorship and other big words.


Stuff doesn't just happen in worst case scenario scripted mode. The players react and the playing field changes and the end result of seismic shifts like this are rarely predictable.

Don't worry so much. Trump is machine gunning himself in the feet a little more each few days. The rest of the world has already made a major shift to deal with it. We will be fine. Australia handled China openly trying to destroy us with tarrifs and trade barriers and failed miserably. We already know how to handle this dumb crap and beat much bigger countries at the game. And we'll beat our new enemy the USA at the game too. It's not even a fair fight we are in such a strong position to damage Trump if pushed that far.

Stay Calm!

Americans might suffer bigly due to the magnificent and beautiful maneuvering of Trump and Elon, but the rest of us are already making moves to insulate our peoples from the pain coming. Poor old Americans are just being left to burn in the ruins of what was.

I think what's been happening lately has been the new world order actually. AKA globalists. War mongers. Counties destroying themselves from within by controlling incompetent civil servants who are getting rich off the backs of those they are supposed to be serving. They allow millions of people to enter their country while their own people are forgotten. The woke mentality is insane.

Trump is showing the world that America will not be taken advantage of anymore. Apple is investing 500 billion in Texas. Hyundai and Nissan changed plans to build plants in Mexico and are instead building them in the US. The largest computer chip company has committed to spend billions in the US. All these create good paying jobs for Americans. That is Trump's job.

America has been a cash cow for so many companies. Countries dumping things like steel in the US causing so many factories to close. Something like 50,000 factories have closed and the millions of jobs that go with them. Since when was it the rule that America can't make shit anymore? Who said? Politicians. That's who. Lobbyists. They don't care about the long-term future. They can make a fortune for themselves and their friends and no one will care. They will accept it.

Let in millions of people to come into the country illegally. Its fine. What could go wrong? Fund endless wars costing trillions. Rack up a 36 trillion dollar debt. Relax, what could go wrong? Who cares if everything is made in China? What could go wrong? Why didn't politicians demand Nato member pay what they promised? Weak leadership is why. Instead, this countries implemented universal health care. And most of those government health care is shit anyways. Haven't we learned that government is mostly useless, incompetent and fat? Surely this isn't breaking news is it? We have all heard about it for decades. So many people just didn;t give a fukk is all.

So now Musk is a bad buy all of a sudden. A bad guy for wanting to save billions of taxpayer money that is being wasted. And you are gonna tell me that isn't some sort of mental disorder? Really?

Countries like the US and Canada should be utopias. They should resemble places like Dubai. The best airports, roads, hospitals, jobs, education. Its filled with corruption instead. Weak woke civil servants who haven't a clue, are only capable of spending taxpayer money, and blaming the other guy for the failures. That is exactly what's happening now with Trump and Musk. They are both showing everyone how things can be. That's one of the things about being sold a lie. Once you have been sold a lie and you've been naive enough to be sucked in by it, you have to defend that position because otherwise you look stupid. Just like Covid lockdowns and the vaccine. Did you forget what happened in Canada during Covid? Australia wasn't much better. It was tyranny. The US wasn't much better. Biden fired thousands of healthcare workers and military people. These people are sick. And somehow, they had much of the media supporting them while simultaneously brainwashing their viewers. It's truly amazing. Yes, Trump was right, they are the enemy of the people.

Why not incentivize American industry and a strong middle class again. Why can't Americans build shit at home? They can with strong leadership. America is gonna rock and roll over the next few years despite all the radical Lefties who are cheering for its demise. And with any luck, other countries such as Canada, will follow with strong leaders rather than the weak-ass woke losers like Trudeau who have sold out their country like Biden did.

[Optional]

I'm sad for you being stuck with that ingrained victim mentality.

"everyone must be cheering for a US demise"... oh my god it's past pathetic.

Not one single US ally is "cheering for your demise". Our pain from this betrayal will only be multiplied if the USA goes into a real depression period.


Anyway, I don't know what's going to happen any better than you do right now. But as I said above, I can see that Australia and New Zealand and the UK and Germany are all preparing for the coming pain and making moves to protect their citizens from the worst of it. I can also see that there is no way Elon is going to allow the sort of govt waste to hand out any money to ease the hurt on Americas vulnerable.

And your last line about incentives. That's the only sensible thing you said. maybe check out how Australia is handling the American attack on us. Same as we did with China. Place a 25% tariff on Americans buying Aussie goods... no problem, we are rich enough to immediately offer affected companies a 15% incentive to sell their goods to friendly countries. You know? Calling Trumps bluff and leaving America with an ongoing shortage of key products they cant do without. Same strategy that brought China to it's knees cow towing to be allowed to buy certain products again.


But tell me again how the woke culture is all the problem and needs Trump attacking your allies to solve it You've been bamboozled Dwight and can't even see what you are allowing to happen.

Federal judge in DC orders two planes carrying alleged Venezuelan gang members turned around and returned to U.S. Judge James Boasberg, Obama appointee, acts on suit claiming Trump's invocation of Alien Enemies Act is illegal.

Sorry for your loss dipshit . Trump has reduced you to rooting against the deportation of violent gang members .


For you and the activist judge . And good riddance to these pieces of sh*t .



Another 80/20 argument you’re on the wrong side of.


WASHINGTON – The United States has removed hundreds of alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua using now-blocked authority from the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday.

“Hundreds of violent criminals were sent out of our country,” Rubio said in a statement

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele said in a post on X that 238 alleged members of the Venezuelan gang had arrived in his country and were immediately transferred to a “Terrorism Confinement Center” for a one-year period that could be renewed.

Bukele said the U.S. had also sent 23 members of the Salvadoran gang MS-13, including two high-ranking members.

President Donald Trump on Friday invoked the wartime Alien Enemies Act to rapidly deport alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization that has been linked to kidnapping, extortion, organized crime and contract killings.

Yes I do, it was that or die with most people. The US needed cheap expendable labor. Much like China today. See the pattern? Even so your point is as pointless as even. Keep going I enjoy laughing at you.

He might be I have never heard him say he was or not. When was the last time I posted a Wolff vid? Yea you posted a lot of crap, none of which was relevant to your theory.

You mean like Reagan? Who was the King of neoliberalism and the start of the whole shit show known as supply side economics. No I don't agree.

That's vague as fuk and almost as meaningless as your 1800s crap. LOL

Capitalism is a cutthroat game. Don't be mad China played the game better. Of course they had a ton of help from US corporations that sold out the country. You can thank supply side for that also.
