We’re talking about the price of sand worms Paulie. I say 58 bucks a flat isn’t terrible but if they’re the good New Brunswick sand worms those are going to be like 70 now.

Trust me most of America will soon be screaming that same thing as their retirement savings take the hit, but we are winning watching Trump burn down the house to cook his steak. Our post covid economy was the envy of the world, he killed it in one day and then flew off to play golf.

After 4 years of not one post it took less than a month to find this thread and see that it still hasn't changed even after JohnR said no more.

Done with this place.

You are aware this is the grumpy old pharts board, seems like a logical thread to me and I for one am capable of discussing what are some serious national security and economic issues and pop into post in the fishing threads if and when I hit the salt again.

Not everything can be fake news 100% of the time. But that’s the suggestion

Believe in truth

To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. if nothing is true, then no one can criticize power because there is no basis upon which to do so if nothing is true, then all is spectacle the biggest wall pays for the most blinding lights.

Not sure why some people are afraid to read actual facts and current events

I haven’t seen anyone naming names . Just people pointing out the obvious .. not hate no vitriol just a conversation..

Look at the massive power outage in Spain, those are real possibilities for the US, as cyber security found China in all our infrastructure in the last term and managed to get them out. So Trump guts that department, why……oh yeah because they proved the 2020 election was 100% fair. Trump lives to hurt anyone who he felt hurt him.

DOD head is a joke, if you feel secure, glad your comfortable. He spends 50% of his efforts trying to find leakers or people talking about how inept he is, not to concerned about our security.

It’s worse than that, and straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

All over government they’re not just eliminating oversight but trying to erase history so they can replace it with a Trump friendly set of facts, unable to be disproven because their data is all that’s available. I’m somewhat surprised JR hasn’t removed the political forum from the search engine to be honest.

Before the election I said the US would be looking a lot like Russia in 5-10 years. Now I’d say we’re on the fast track to Hungary in 2. No press freedom, lack of liberties, wrecked universities and a disastrous economy.

But as Trump said yesterday, you voted for it.
