    Trump is a dead end, so where do you turn?

    How poor are you prepared to be to get whatever it is you want? Capital isn't going to come to your state if you're as hostile as you seem to be. At the moment, every state is dominated by capital.
    No one will stop you from moving to a particular state. But what happens when you get there if capital isn't coming at the same time?

    See I don't know how we can possible lower the temperature of partisan politics without solving the media problem. They are profiting from turning politics into roller derby. Meanwhile, there are no stories exploring actual policy issues. the public have forgotten that public policy is complex, nuanced and full of unintended consequence because nobody is telling them that.

    I think the media will become more responsible if they're called out fot sensationalizing a situation.
    Not on tv news, anyway.
    Exactly. Pols have to define issues instead of allowing the media to present hysterical nonsense as the issue.

    I'm the guy talking civil war because the worthless pos politicians keep making things harder for the tax payers of this country, while giving illegals free healthcare, free housing, free EBT cards, and attacking the the constitutional rights of the tax payers of our country. Why aren't they giving free healthcare to the taxpaying citizens first?

    More importantly: why aren't these worthless corrupt politicians giving FREE healthcare to ALL the seniors of our country. The ones who payed taxes their whole lives?

    Why aren't your corrupt worthless politicians looking out for your fellow Americans first?

    The same people who voted the pols into office are going to oppose your revolution.
    I posted this last year and similar comments many times before that:

    We could creat a government ID required of everyone who works at any paid work, day labor included, that can be read with a cellphone app. It could replace the SS card, Medicare, Medicaid, Nexus, voter ID--all kinds of government ID. All employers must check. Employers? Fines and jail time for egregious violations.

    Do I want to do this? Absolutely. We should decide who comes here, when, for how long, and whether or not they can work. No job, no reason to stay, no reason to come.

    There are people all over the world who want to in here. They should be considered as much as the guy who can slide up from Mexico or Central America. No lottery. Folks we choose. No apologies for that.

    Trump made a lot of noise about a wall and Trumpers followed the shiny object. Yeah, I know Democrats talked about a "smart border" but it was BS. Meanwhile, half of illegals overstayed a visa--they came through the front door.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/congratulations-ron-desantis-great-job-rolling-eyes-moron.590523/page-12#post-1072823856

    As you can see, I'm serious about dealing with illegals, but the problems they create don't justify trying to overthrow the government.
    The pols aren't my buddies, especially the ones trying to take away women's basic rights.

    Its never been "safe" Its just been less hostile.

    That trend is reversing though. If I were gay or LBGTQ, I would be absolutely terrified right now for my safety. Especially in a red state.

    If you call voting R as much or more than D, then sure.
    But I don't call myself any of those party names.

    But I am definitely in the anti trump crowd and right now, the R party is cowarding to him. So, I am against those cowards.

    Maybe we could use a source that is mostly listener funded?
    And not driven solely by profits?

    TV and talk radio are all about selling advertising. Not accuracy.

    OK .. got to the 3 minute mark .. as that was disturbing enough -- "Harvard Graduates" being so ignorant of what they are talking about .. drunk on necessary illusions and propagandas .. completely unaware of the Trashing of Essential liberty .. pumping out obscene platitudes "Most Free Nation on Earth"

    What a joke .. surely you can think of at least 10 nations who are more free than good old USA .. if not .. perhaps back to school for you.

    Was when she got into the "woke joke" that I signed off .. blaming Blue for our current state .. while having absolutely no clue of Red involvement.

    I too had a son in University .. recently graduated .. would send me messages of what is going on in wokeland .. disgusted .. but he knows that while Blue happen to be the biggest violators presently .. he also knows about the violations on the Red side..

    "Freest" country in the world -- jail for 10 years for smoking a joint .. yeah .. you go with that .. and find me another first world nation less free. "No Racism here mate" .. nothing to see .. Privacy gone .. now to the point of monitoring your bank account for transaction greater than 600 ..

    What a fkn Harvard Joke .. and I am just getting started.

    Sorry Cybred I'm a bit dumb. The people on that stage who are now "in charge" agreed ILLEGALS DESERVE FREE HEALTH CARE WITH US TAXPAYERS PAYING FOR IT.

    I have no idea what single payer healthcare is.

    Please explain

    Single payer health care is a very bad idea.

    Yes if your desire is long wait times for lousy service and no new cutting edge medical research or technology.
