Dear Joe. Aren't you forgetting something? You gladly accept what our country offers i.e. an army and navy to protect you, law enforcement, courts of law, a reasonably stable currency, deposit protection, roads, bridges etc. All things provided by your Local, State, and Federal Governme ...[text shortened]... t both way's Joe, it's a package deal. Either accept the package, or find another place to live! 😏

The pursuit of selective freedom continues.

Yes, in the late '60s I actually subscribed to her newsletter, The Objectivist.

Me too! I'd forgotten about that.

Well your both very objectionable so that makes sense.

And my view has been that it is a direct result of the dumbing down of America. We were set up for the con.

Yup, the con works only on people dumb enough to buy it.

A quote from Steve Bannon several years back.

"What we put out there doesn't have to be true.
It just has to be believable."

It's not a big leap to figure out who gets scooped up.

Quote from the article: “It was an excuse to not examine what had gone wrong in a world that welcomed Trump as president, not an absolution of Clinton’s flaws.“

I always viewed Trump as a symptom not a cause of what’s going wrong with America.

Both. It's a vicious circle, but Trump has been messing in politics since the late 20th century and in unbridled corruption ever since Reagan and Thatcher made that fashionable.

It is boring the way you fellers say Trump was bad, like it is a fact, like the sky is blue.
Moon, if that were the case, 50% of our country would not think he was a good president. So either you libs are wrong, or they are wrong.
You could be useful if you can prove that he was bad.

He’s bankrupted how many companies now, five? He’s a shirker, never takes responsibility when things go awry. He’s still harping on an election he lost by 7 million votes. That’s your roll model ? Ouch.

You missed my primer on Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy is a great tool which allows your cousins to recover a lot of that which is owed to them by the Trump corporations. (Golly, he made a bad business decision, out of hundreds of business decisions).
Were it not for bankruptcy, restructuring, whatever, the corp would just shut down and the employees and vendors and suppliers???? ......they would get nothing.
Hope this helps. I was always amazed how Suzy and you fellers just wrote over the years willy-nilly about the horrors of bankruptcy, when it is actually a good thing. Ohhhh, the misinformation on the forum............
Glad to help 😏

That explains a lot. For example, why no one can get through to you that your well-being depends on your willingness to ensure the well-being of anyone else.

Lib think. Our country offers?!?! We pay for all that, McHill. So your post is flat on its face. Have you ever dissected this really complicated adage (general truth)....The Govt works for us. We employ the government. The President, the road builders.
Here is the crux,, McHill. You libs see it EXACTLY REVERSE. The hell of it is, you WANT to be dependent on the government giving you things, ....But McHill,, they are simply giving back to you, in goods and services, that which you have paid to them,, their source of revenue.
Pure sad idiocy. Do you know that the govt does not have anything to give? Jesus. You are sounding like that Jimmmm person.

Interesting, please elaborate. A level discussion must assume, however, a society of charity, where the needy or folks who need a leg up are counseled by those who have had successes in their lives.
What a great society that would be. No need for big brother govt or nanny state. Freedom, Independence.

I think the optics are good enough.
Lawyers can get through the nuts and bolts.
But they will never shape public opinion.

In physics, we know a black hole is there because of the sh&t we can see going around it. But we can't see the black hole.

I guess the same applies to Trump.
Now I'm just waiting for the white noise in this forum to chirp up....
"Prove that black holes exist".

This post does not get even close to a response to my saying 50%, or 49% of the country thinks he was and would be again, a good president. Why can you, a typical lib, not even acknowledge something so simple?

Note: My comment is an established fact. Yours is an opinion. Whew.

Until last year I taught economics, but why get personal, MGH? If my 15 year old tells you what I told you, or I tell you what I told you, it is a fact, and my personal self is quite irrelevant.
The libs are out in force this morning !!!!
