Exactly how I feel.

One of them on chapotraphouse said “I’m gonna vote for Trump just so see the US finally burn to the ground” and I replied “horseshoe theory: confirmed” and the mods removed my comment lmao

Because Putin is bankrolling two or three minor political parties and the front runner of a major political party. That fucking anti-war protest in DC was the dumbest shit. Yeah let’s have two political parties that agree on absolutely fucking nothing except for hating Ukraine co-host an event where Ron Paul’s bitch ass makes up stories about how congresspeople told him that they needed to start a war to fix the economy while some limpdick tankie waves the Soviet flag around in the background

Why would we need to build cartels and install dictators if we could just simply drone strike the opposition?

I unironically believe this too. In 2016 I was like “yeah! The deep state is bad! Fuck em! Washington doesn’t represent me!” and then, well, the last 8 years happened

Imagine who much further along the world would be if we stooped to their levels. Dictators would be extinct. Cartels wouldn’t exist. I would be erect 24/7.

Surprised to not see Cotton and Graham. Theyre two of the more vocal supporters of Ukraine.

Horseshoe theory is so accurate

And over half the planet eventually agreed to join the Bretton Woods system, ushering in an unprecedented period of peace compared to what was essentially nonstop warfare

Um, fighting for NATO is based

There are good Russians out there

I wish we could develop it alongside our existing interstate highway system. I also want us to somehow, someway, develop an interstate water system. East of the Mississippi and gulf floods. Southwest is constantly low on water. We would see such massive economic gains from the infrastructure investment

So fuckin funny Cameron is back in power (albeit, to a lesser extent obviously). Nature is healing.

What’s so shocking is how strong his grip is on his own intelligence community. If Trump decided to completely ruin the balance of power in the world by acquiescing to China and Russia, I can’t imagine the intelligence community just standing by. I’d assume they would work with Congress to provide incriminating evidence to get him removed. Putin has so much fucking control over Russia. The fact that the Wagner uprising and the raids into Russian territory didn’t amount to any major changes shows how he is effectively controlling the entire nation.

The day he dies will be such a fantastic day. Prigozhin dying was lit. Putin dying will be… oh man. I would get so fucked up lmao

Some things I’ve been thinking about. If the U.S. pulls out of NATO under Trump, the alliance becomes much easier to push around. Of course, NATO would still easily win a confrontation even without the U.S., but the alliance would effectively fall apart. Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Hungary would withdraw from NATO. Western European markets would struggle significantly with the threat of a direct confrontation with Russia realized.

Russia would remain the shithole country that it is. It’s not like their economy can get worse. Forcing a direct confrontation would result in a quick defeat for Russia, but it would have catastrophic effects on all of Europe, which almost gives Russia the win even with a tactical loss. NATO wouldn’t dare strike within Russia after Putin somehow increases his nuclear saber rattling.

But this of course will only happen if Trump does withdraw the U.S. from NATO. With the U.S. in the alliance, I don’t believe Putin would force a direct confrontation

Too bad he wasn’t closer

That makes two of us!

He died? Lmao. I remember when LazerPig destroyed him in a debate they set up

Maybe one day ;)

Trust me, the people who are home owners who would pay MORE with a land value tax are sitting on gold mines. They aren’t struggling. They can sell if the cost of a LVT is greater than the property tax.

Or, they can sell land that they’re not using and shrink the amount of land they would pay taxes on. Then the cities can keep growing and people won’t be paying so much for rent.

Usually this policy reduces the amount people pay in taxes assuming they aren’t living in a 3 bedroom house on 10 acres of land in a place relatively close to a city center.

Sounds like you may need to read up more on it because you don’t seem to understand what it is.

I didn’t think we’d ever see evidence of Russia protecting civilians but in January of 2024, I finally stand corrected
