I really have a hard time trusting any media bought/sold around 2013 (really as early as 2006 is sketchy IMO) onwards due to the attack on our democracy starting to really ramp up by the Russian military at that time.

There are not millions of blood thirsty tRUmptards waiting for the signal to take over America by force.
Have you seen the pathetic turnouts at Stinkys latest rallies with O'Reilly?
Just more bullshit propaganda to add to the chaos.
My wife has a little social club that is made up mostly of her classmates and their spouses. Around 12-15 folks show up most months when we get together to eat, and I would guess the wife and I are the only ones who did not vote for trumpf. They are all a couple three years on one side or the other of seventy years old. They are worried about acid reflux, not taking up arms. I would guess a big part of the 70+M trumpf voters fit this demographic. There is no doubt they would run you off their lawn. Anything after that, not so sure.

I wondered the same thing. There is no real danger of it happening, but the talk makes it seem like there is.
they're trying to keep the conversation going- so they're the new FB and Twitter imho.

they're trying to keep the conversation going with stickers on poles; i go right behind them and take them down; saw a new one yesterday in my travels:mrgreen:

Sanction them all you like Putin is still making bank.
"Vladimir Putin is a Russian politician who has a net worth of $70 billion dollars." I'm sure he won't suffer one bit.
but those close to him will suffer greatly:D

that's when you start worrying about the tea being served and stay ground level.

someone will betray him if that is the case.

They should have left his Twitter account up. By now he would have incriminated himself into a life sentence. He just can't help himself.

I just like reading his nonsense I wish they would’ve left it up just so I could read his ridiculous rhetoric that makes me shake my head and wonder how this man got this far in our country what a shame it really is or was

I know, right? I'm Canadian and found the whole tRump thing both entertaining but scary as fuck. Ever since Obama the Retrumpicans seemed to have lost their grip on reality and what being a patriot really means. Even under the Bushes both parties could work together reasonably well when their plans coincided and weren't constantly trying to destroy each other and the country tho that part is almost totally from the far right now.

I was watching something recently on PBS about a group that tracks civil war possibilities around the globe and they consider the US to be near the top of countries likely to have another civil war in the next decade. I doubt very much that a full-out civil war could happen but increased domestic terrorism, ethnic assaults and general mayhem could tear the country apart almost as badly.

I first got interested in world politics as a kid watching the Cuban missile crisis unfold on the evening news with my parents and I've never been as worried about all of our futures as much as I am now. With all the shit going on with Russia and China stability is need now more than ever and it's not happening. So much of the media on a feeding frenzy just fanning the flames doesn't help either.

Where are the Kennedys and the Cronkites when you need them! Some semblance of sanity is sorely needed to regain balance before it's too late.

American politics are just crazy at the moment not saying it’ll calm down but I think it’s all going to culminate to something even if it’s the beginning of the dismantling of our basic fundamentals and beliefs for our homeland and how we live our lives be it trump or somebody else I believe it’s going to happen or would’ve already started either way and the China and Russia issues right now are actually kinda frightening when you think about how brazen both countries are and the building tensions sorry I am driving I know it’s one long sentence

Texting while driving is a good way to have a shitty new year when you don't notice that drunk driver coming at you. Huge fine here in Alberta for distracted driving.

Putin and Xi are getting pretty chummy with a meeting coming up at the Olympic games. If Putin goes into the Ukraine and Xi goes after Taiwan at the same time all hell could break loose for the US and the rest of us. :(

If you look at the domestic terrorism the gangs and there mentalities, and these far left and far right radical groups, and the way that citizens who aren’t involved with those groups directly all have opinions and theories on how to deal with them. it’s like we are already in a type of civil war look at our politics there is no hey can we come together and figure this out. it’s either my way or no way be it either side who’s saying it. Washington is basically at war with itself and we are on the side lines feeding the fire and building up the machine with our mean rhetoric and insatiable desire for drama and to have things one specific way be it republican or democrat

Very much agreed! I think Putin is very reserved on his action towards Ukraine, he knows Russia isn’t built for a long term conflict anymore but that doesn’t mean if pushed he won’t move forward. he’s a prideful man and would send his country men to there deaths over it. On the other hand xi is one crazy dude who will do whatever he has to to have the Asian countries under there mother flag of China

I also agree. Putin is using the moves on the Ukraine to force the NATO issue so I don't believe he intends to invade unless pushed into a corner over it.

Xi tho has been increasing China's military footprint in the Pacific for some years now and with all the losing face over the Olympic games may just hit Taiwan not long after they are over out of spite. Look what's going on in Hong Kong these days. He is not to be trusted any more than Putin and I wouldn't trust him any further than I could throw him.

it would not have been fair to his successor or our country and it's people; it was finally over and we needed silence.
I also agree with that had they left it open we would’ve had a much worse transition and our current president would face lots of stupid questions over misinformation. but some of it was funny and priceless

Crazy thing is is that Hong kong wasn’t supposed to be under independent Chinese rule for twenty more years that’s how the British and allies wrote it up when the territory was returned to China at the end of British rule there and the Chinese government agreed with that and like you said he will push and push because he knows we won’t do anything at the moment unless he does something extreme like invade Taiwan or the India border like he’s been doing xi is a socialist thru and thru he sees those countries as Chinese property and won’t stop until they are we as a country need to see that and be on the same page about it or it’ll get to where we can’t do anything

Even these screens in most dashboards have to be distracting as hell and I'm amazed they are allowed at all. How many people are just going to sit in the car to play video games FFS. They can do that on their phones all ready. Even those consoles for back seat passengers distract the driver as it is.

Save that shit for real self driving cars when they finally come out and actually work.
