Whats the game plan? Whats the thought process for the next few years? Just more shit flinging if the Dems lose or more wars if they win?
The plan is simple
If they win: they arrest everyone who keeps complaining as Trump colaborators
If they loose: they have the world so utterly fucked they can just blame everything that explodes on Trump. There's no more Trump past this term so they can just sit and wait and then just put another uniparty noble in charge and return everything to the status quo pre-Trump.
They are counting on no one else stepping to the plate to continue Trump legacy.
 
I thought the adults were in charge now but everywhere I look things are massively shitter then 4 years ago and all I can see for the future is more craziness as no one seems to be trying to fix anything.
I’ve got one more. I just ran across a couple of companies trying to make AI interviewers a thing. It’s enough to make me want to move into a cabin in the woods and start writing my manifesto.
 
The US economy in terms of natural resources namely food, raw materials, energy etc is pretty fucking strong.
What good are those resources if we don't use them? The dems, if they had their way, would want us importing everything basically. You can't grow food, or mine for raw materials, or frack / dig for oil because of the environment.

You can't grow food because there's no water. You can't use water for irrigation or farming because if we did, we'd kill off some species of fish or other aquatic animal. If not that, there isn't any water because the rich have to have their lawns watered every day. We can't mine for raw material or frack or drill for oil because its hurting mother nature. Aka we need to go all green tech because it gives kickbacks to the politicians. And it also gives jobs and money to their friends and family members.

We're not using our natural resources because some of the people in charge want all the power and wealth for themselves. You'll own nothing and be happy. Using the natural resources gives people independence from big government. That can't happen because then people will have their own thoughts and disagree with how the country is ran and fight back.

But I ve been read peter schiff, carl zinger, and a bunch of gold/sliver bugs talk about this shit for going on two decades.
I feel that. People have been saying since 2008 that the end is near. But we can't keep going on inertia forever. Something has to break the levy. Pressure has been building since then. But is escalated since 2021. People can't afford homes. Wages aren't keeping up with inflation. Prices of everything keeps going up with no end in sight. The elites running the show have no interest in fixing shit. They want to lie to you that everything is the best ever. While they line their pockets with as much cash as possible. And they keep grabbing for as much power as possible.

A lot of this shit is just artificially propped up by companies and, mostly, central banks.
 
I'm talking about the stock market and the fallout that would happen when the bubble bursts.

The crash would be the same as 1929 but this time the money printer is going to run out of ink. The debt is already ridiculous in most of the Western world and just print more money isn't going to save us again. Yah the US is the reserve currency of the world is the glue holding everything together but it only goes so far.

The economy is very fragile right now, don't read the "experts" look at the details. Inflation, real inflation, is huge. Wages are down pretty much across the board, the job report has been downgraded every month for the last 8 and household credit debt is skyrocketing. These are all massive danger signals but of course no one high up will talk about them because just mentioning aloud them could cause a confidence crash. And of course no one can dare criticize Biden and his handling of the economy.

If the money flow (consumer spending) slows because people are either broke after covering basic costs or scared and trying to save it will bring on the very crash they're afraid of. I mean, we're going to crash either way as the fundamentals of the economy have been hollowed out over the last decade and only the Fed printing what was "free" money kept the flow going. But that free money won't work anymore, the tap is as wide open as it can go and no matter what the MSM demagogues say we are in a recession and each month it gets worse not better because no one dares talk about it or take steps to address it because it's an election year and god help them if Biden loses.

Right now we are blind men rushing towards a cliff but our seeing eye dog is drunk, stupid and hates us. Any one of those reasons is enough cause for our doom let alone all 3 at once.
 
Not sure i agree with this. Iran's attack was heavily telegraphed. the US knew it was coming, the Israelis knew it was coming and so on. it was more of a saving face diplomatic maneuver more than anything.
If you remember, the Iranians did a similar attack after Trump ordered the assassination of Solemani. they shot down a US drone in the gulf and fired a salvo of ballistic missiles at a mostly abandonded US base (the US knew of the attack beforehand and ordered a evacuation). the only troops injured were essential personnel, and as far is i can remember no one was killed.
The Iranians proved their point, and the US did not respond and the pressure was released. If Netan yahoo is smart he will do the same. maybe bomb some Iranian backed militias or something.
Netanyahu is a zealot. The man is already champing at the bit to go after Iran whole hog and only the admin's tepid refusal has stopped him.
 
I can't even guess what the DNC'c plan is anymore. Everything is going fucking nuts.

Trump's on trial for a 3rd time with more bogus charges even the MSM can't sell.
The war in Ukraine rolls on but now Russia is winning cuz the US cash is going to Israel.
The Middle East is about to erupt into open conflict with Biden's support for war on Iran
The economy is one misstep away from total collapse and I'm sure the up coming OPEC shenanigans won't help
The boarders are being forced open to illegals for reasons I can't even comprehend
Chairman Meow is openly talking about reclaiming Taiwan and Biden doesn't even comment
Inflation is spiralling up, no matter how many MSM articles they spew out about best economy ever people are really hurting and yet more people are pouring into America every day

Whats the game plan? Whats the thought process for the next few years? Just more shit flinging if the Dems lose or more wars if they win?

I thought the adults were in charge now but everywhere I look things are massively shitter then 4 years ago and all I can see for the future is more craziness as no one seems to be trying to fix anything. They're just screaming about Orange Hitler gassing the Tranny's and making the money printer go brrrrrrrr.

At what point will the system just start to collapse in on itself?

While I think both camps are basically going improv, there are a couple well-defined avenues the Biden re-elect effort will travel down:
  1. Paint the Orange Man (bad) as a unique threat to democracy (hence the trials)
  2. Use abortion to rile up their base. Proven to work, no reason not to use it in '24
  3. Give the appearance of strong economic numbers - because "It's about the economy, stupid" still applies.
  4. Using point 1 as justification, push """voting rights""" measures in order to ensure they still get their votes from the lazy base.
  5. Hide Biden in the basement so that voters don't see the trainwreck they are trying to continue for four more years.
  6. Make sure to have fun!
Points 1 and 3 are directed toward using their stranglehold on the "reputable" media (NPR/NYT/what have you) in order to convince the political casual (of which there are many) that they should trust the expert authorities and vote for Biden (now how effective that is, I can't tell you - I'm way out of touch with pop culture and shit), while Points 2 and 4 are dedicated towards holding their voting coalition together.
Although if another war starts on Biden's watch, in regards to Israel or China, I legitimately think he's done. I just don't see how it's possible to recover from that.

The stock market doesn't reflect the actual market. It should, but it doesn't. Good news for consumers means prices go down. Bad news means prices goes up. No pull backs or corrections.
 
They tried to script this but it looks bad, even a kid at the end on the right is like "this isn't what I signed up for" and there's a teen in the back flipping Joepedo off.

Is it just me or do they have to involve Ice Cream or children to get him to smile, other wise it's a meandering or grumpy Joe.

Also, hate to break it, but I'm 95% sure string bean is just a lanky fuck and those are thumbs up.
 
Whats the game plan?
Loot it all until there's absolutely nothing left then get the fuck out of Dodge.
But I dont fucking see bread lines or rationing coming back anytime soon.
I do see shit getting spicy if gibs get cut down.
We're not using our natural resources because some of the people in charge want all the power and wealth for themselves.
They also want to sell it off for cheap. Look at Australia for an example.
The stock market doesn't reflect the actual market. It should, but it doesn't.
I lost trust in the market when I realized all the gains on it go to a handful of people at everyone else's expense.
 
those are thumbs up
I was thinking maybe a peace sign on our left his right

keep in mind there was one point we saw Jace's eyes and he really looked like one of his eyes was some weird shriveled runt eye
crap cams and encoding can do some really impressive shit
 
12 of 33 states, representing 20% of the free population of the USA, seceded.

The problem isn't that half the country denied the other half its representation, the problem is that a fifth of the country wanted the right to be treated like it was half when it came to matters under federal jurisdiction, like the governance of territories.



No, they didn't. Your recourse in a republic is via elections, and at no point did the North deny Southern states their EC votes, their Senators, or their Representatives. The South revolted because, under the Constitution and its mechanism of government, their shrinking minority would mean that the United States would eventually abolish slavery.

I'll stop here since this not a Civil War thread.
Ignore all the other states that Lincoln violently put down that had nothing to do with slavery such as Maryland and several other states that want slave states that also wanted to join the confederacy
it was about slavery even though several slave states joined the union it was about preserving the union slavery is a post hawk justification and Abraham Lincoln wanted to send all the blacks back to Africa anyways
