It just occurred to me that Pootie Poot will give the bastard a mansion in the Ukraine.

(67,084 posts)over to individual states and to privatize everything. This would eventually destabilize the US and those wanting the US to fail would have achieved their objectives, to kill off the longest living democracy. There is some very evil sh** going on and millions of Americans still can't comprehend how they are being used.

(67,084 posts)large number of Americans could care less about anything as long as they get through each day. DU is a unique place, but IMO most people do not follow events like DU does. Hence, they are easy marks.
Yes, their agenda has been stated over and over and over again. I also feel some democrats and independents don't have the guts to stand up to them, and many republicans go along for the ride. Many are making big bucks off of all of this.

(29,692 posts)I hope very young because it's going to be a long long time before something like that kicks in. I doubt if I see it in my lifetime.

(29,692 posts)I'm thinking of upping my meds just to cope.
I've watched the pukes my entire lifetime trying to destroy the country that they say they love. They spend all their time demonizing "other" and bending laws to make our lives as miserable as they can.
I know that the arc of the pendulum must swing in both directions, but it seems that arc is way way too long.

(3,328 posts)Then I did up my meds, and got back on my horse.
I live in Texas, so this fight for me isn't new. Trump winning was a crushing blow that I've felt before on local and state levels.
We had a lot of wins with Obama, (even though Comrade Cheeto is systematically destroying them), we'll get there again.
Since you're old, you know that old saying, "the wheels of justice turn slowly."
WhiteTara
(29,692 posts)yes, I know.
Glad to hear that med upping has good effects! I'll let you know when mine kicks in.

(67,084 posts)bullshit they sling. I often ponder, what the F is wrong with Americans. Why can't the see what is going on. I see these F'ed up patriots, always the same, Trump stickers, flags on their trucks, god and country, love of country. FFS! They are so damn ignorant and stupid. They are supporting those selling the country down the drain.
Sometimes I feel like just F it all. I was lucky to grow up in better years. I still have trouble believing millions of Americans support this coup/regime, and then millions just don't give a damn. I guess US = United Sheep!

And if they did, we are supposed to take heart in the fact that the only thing that *Rump does well is go bankrupt?
That is what this country needs... Jeebus Christos!

This allows Vlad the opportunity to strengthen Russia's economy which is based on fossil fuel market...
With access to increased continuous revenue from oil trade, and the overall reduction of Global interference as a result of Vlad's control over US Gov. via *45 & KGOP...
Vlad can assume position of immense geopolitical power and use that to push SCO into the #1 most influential global political alliance and is the union of 4 Nuclear powers....
Vlad wants also to weaken the role of the USD in the global arena ... and wants to increase the role of the Yuan as well as that of a digital currency like Bitcoin......
We are witnessing daily what is Quite possibly the largest most overt Quid pro Quo pay-out, in the form of an unopposed insurgent takeover of a sovereign government, ever executed....
100% facilitated by the KGOP & MSM & all who claim there is no "there" there.

What none of these vendors ever seemed to realize is that the Government is an eco-system, not a business. Things were adapted and added incrementally over the whole of US history. What works in one Port doesn't work at another, etc etc

(8,692 posts)What seemed like a bullet-proof platform for the ages in 1994 was all but dead by 2004 and in 2006 they were directed to replace it with a high-availability Linux based platform. Now they're just trying to get the original vendor which is several mergers deep to just rebuild the original application for Intel based Linux which is what everyone wanted to do a decade ago but instead it was put out for bids and three successive vendors have failed at reinventing the wheel.
Meanwhile they're buying parts on eBay to keep the existing hardware running.
