Fan the flames for no particular meaningful purpose.

@HEYYOU - I was about to place you on ignore like all the others, but I need to allow you to respond and I see you haven't posted anything in a day.

I think you misjudge people, I think, based on a caricature of what they really are. Both parties are corrupt, but there is some small hope with a president that both parties hate. I'm certainly not saying that's a whole lot of hope, but it's some hope. Haven't experienced that in over 30 years.

The parties are both just criminal organizations, but they work together, and may very well be controlled by a larger criminal organization for which they compete for favoritism. Certainly they are both criminal syndicates regardless. The contract with you and them is the constitution - when they violate that, they become illegitimate, and they've violated that for decades.

Trump is a hail mary pass. Electing him is nothing more than a desperate attempt to avoid a real fucking revolution in this country.

Print out the lyrics, you can't expect me to repeatedly listen to this trying to decipher a meaning not even being certain there is one.

If it's smash the system, this particular system, all all for it. It's just a system of bandits anyhow. Destroying our federal government is exactly like breaking up a mafia gang. The only people that oppose that is the mafia gang itself and the poor rubes that think the mafia's extortion actually affords them protection.

The only important lyrics are:

It's like a shock to the System
It feels good
Well Alright.

Looks like another prediction came true: The Dems are now the Establishment Party. Who would have thought the Dems of the 1980s or 90s would be anti-rustbelt, pro-bureaucracy, pro-Regulation of free Speech, pro-war, pro-illegal, etc.

The establishment party appears to be the pro war party, and I'm certainly against that.

I am no pacifist, if this nation is attacked we should destroy who attacked us without mercy including "collateral damage". I just don't believe that has happened in my lifetime. We are the attackers.

Again a rant, nothing to do with the OP.

Doesn't matter if it's got anything to do with the original poster.

It's true. The Democratic party has turned against the blue collar working class and abandoned them.

The people that grow your food, make your products do the real work to make this society function should not be off shored. We are dependent on these people. Globalism is nothing but a method to make them weak and dependent. The reality is they make everything we need and by outsourcing their labor it is making us dependent on a foreign government.

You may have complete contempt for a farmer, a machinist, a builder, but they are our lifeblood. It's not some asshole trading stocks that keeps our nation running, it's the people who produce the food and goods we need that do. We're in an upside down world - hopefully, it is temporarily. Nobody needs some asshole manipulating commodities or stocks to keep us alive. We'd have a better society those people were all 1 mile deep in the ocean. I make bit and bobbles of technology, I'm their servant and I realize that.

Start a new thread on that and I will be happy to comment there . We are here to discuss some topic and not to rant. Otherwise , we are better off putting each other on ignore.

Why don't you start a new thread?

It's you demanding it after all.

I think this is a free throw of thought. One idea or concept leads to another. I don't want to be in a box. If you want a box, make one. Create another thread.

Is this seriously up for debate? Hundreds of cases abound where this was precisely the case. It’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s the normal way that business is done!

Nobody said they were perfect. But "Inspector Generals" are not deep state and Vindaman was not deep state. Yet, whenever Trump does not like the way the bureaucracy behaves, it is given the title of Deep State.

Vindamen was a traitor to Ukraine exploiting it after he became a US citizen. He abandoned his nation, became a thug to try to extort resources and capital from his nation, nothing more. He's garbage.

He's clearly a liar. Why do you think he lied about the conversation that Trump had between himself and Volodymyr Zelensky which he wasn't even a part of? He's a traitor to his abandoned countrymen, and ours as well because he's in active engagement of raping that nation. He's garbage.

Just because he escaped the Soviet Republic as a child don't mean he's not a piece of shit. He's complicit in raping his own former nation. He's a thief.

And god fucking damnit @Patrick - why do you wipe out an entire post just because you think too much information is presented? I can see you limiting it, but you actually DELETE THE WHOLE THING. Look it from my point of view, and think "how is the moderator not fucking me in the asshole sideways?". Am I incorrect in this? You claim to support freedom of speech by with limitations you don't even define. When I step over the unobserved boundary, not only does my post get rejected, all previous versions of it are deleted as well.

If he were partisan there would be no Democrats left on this side of Jail to run for President.

What is this "Bureaucratic Oversight"? Where in the US Constitution is that?

Anyone who believes in "Bureaucratic Oversight" is essentially a believer in the Communistic false-god of Bureaucracy . . . because Communism and other similar forms of collectivism is essentially built upon the willful ignorance of the selfishness/mendacity of Bureaucracy while glorifying its alleged omnipotence. Who shall watch the watchers? Nobody watching the cabal in the Communistic/Bureaucratic system. In the American system, the President is supposed to over-see the "bureaucracy" (Executive Branch) and the President is supposed to be responsible to the people, who over-see him in elections every 4 years.

Anyone believing in "Bureaucratic Oversight" while holding an office in the government bureaucracy is essentially violating his/her own oath to uphold the Constitution . . . and therefore should be removed from office immediately, if not tossed into jail for malfeasance!

Huh? Loretta Lynch ring a bell....

@Patrick not sure if it would be easy, but you should ban paywall sites from being linked here. Pain in the ass when you want to try and get into a constructive debate and the person uses data/info that I have zero interest in paying for.

And posters can then just hide behind the fact that no one can read the damn thing to fact check it. Kind of like a boxer punching below the belt and winning fights because of it. Link to sources people can read, otherwise I'm shifting to the mindset that it's bullshit. Media companies can make money without subscriptions....

Credentials matter though. Don't you trust doctors with your life, more than laypeople who don't have any expertise, or worse, whose opinion is largely ruled by what news channel they watch?

Nope. I actually don't trust doctors at all. You trust Realtors? They've been trained and credentialed. How about trained chefs? In theory their food should be perfect because they're trained and credentialed in the field.

You're debating with someone that has been misdiagnosed by 3 different doctors for a relatively severe ailment. My father had cancer and multiple doctors fucked up multiple times over a decade with him. We're talking top notch hospitals (supposedly) in the Chicagoland region. Even the best of the best gas station cashiers will fuck up a count on the drawer and miss money. People's blind faith in credentials is hysterical. But hey, keep drinking the Koolaid because someone can read books well and test well.

but there is some small hope with a president that both parties hate

+1000. Trump is the only one wanting to stem the unfettered illegal immigration and bring manufacturing back from China. Kind of like Trump is taking elements from the Republican Party toward a Labor Party of sorts.

Nah, it just seems that way because more unethical and unlawful activity is happening on the Left. That's like saying it's racist and biased against Blacks to say they commit a lot of crime, when in fact they proportionally commit far more crime than any other race. Just facts.

Tim Aurora says

You are just gaslighting.

Nope, just telling the truth.

Liberals being racist by injecting race into politics. It's powerful and until the Left have fully exposed their true motive. They don't give a fuck about Black People, Brown People, Latino People and most of all White People. Their only interest in Race is the powerful weapon they wield it as, to get any opposition to their disastrous policies and ideas out of the way. It's a communist ploy to destroy societies and inject oppression and classicism and socialism. Where the poor are fucked, and the ruling class live in the lap of luxury. Most Democrats envision themselves as one of the guys that get to live in the big house when Communism takes hold. They have no earthly idea, they have only been pawns and useful idiots. They will be liquidated the minute a Maduro, Stalin, Bernie Sanders, Castro or Andrew Como gets in power.

Just look at how they are acting over a common cold. Your chances of getting CV19 are about the same as winning a $10,000 from scratch off Lotto ticket.

If the incoming Commie regime doesn't liquidate them, the impeding Revolt and reclamation of our Country will make sure they don't survive.

Americans are fucking awesome at doling out comeuppance.

We’ve factually proven that the LEFT is racist while the right is much more egalitarian with respect to race.

This. I had a few years with a very poorly understood and never properly diagnosed condition after terminal shit such as Aids was ruled out (CFS/PVFS) that left me reeling, worst years of my life. I eventually cured myself with a novel immune stimulant that was hard to get by customs and semi legal and slowly picking up exercise and went all the way to run a few half marathons. I had highly paid MDs looking up the medical encyclopedia to search for terms and conditions I suggested to them right in front of me, this was when I (with a medical degree myself) walked out and realized most MDs were useless. I have great respect for some of the stuff surgeons do but outside of surgery you should only visit MDs to get access to diagnostic tests, then educate yourself and decide the best course of action if any needed. Most of their knowledge is 20 years old from Medical School books and they never brush up on newest studies but push pills instead. Their credentials mean shit. At least one surgeon back then was honest and said 'we don't know anything about modern or novel conditions so outside of surgery I won't treat' .

Loretta lynch was partisans. I don’t see AG Barr starting yearly witch hunts to imprisonments political opponents. ThT nazi shit is all Democrats. Nazi fucks!!!!

Left goes after everyone who isn’t singing praises to deep state globohomo club.

WookieMan says

We had a similar situation with my dad. Over and over, the doctors were much more clueless than the nurses, because the doctors just swoop in and out, not really taking much time, while the nurses are there with the patient over the longer term and actually personally do stuff all the time and know how it's likely to go.

Even the nurses make mistakes, especially when they get rotated into a new patient.

You really are responsible for your own treatment, and that of your family. No doctor or even nurse really cares as much and they are not paying all that much attention.

Patrick says

Yet many here treat an epidemiologist's word as religion. They treat scientific MODELS as fact. They're models, they mean fucking nothing when one says 10k deaths and another says 2M. I don't care about SIP either. Might as well play Russian roulette if you want to follow these models. Everyone I know is still generally going out. During the most contagious phase of this most everything was wide open. It's like humans got on set retardation or something.

I'm not an anti vax person either. I just don't trust humans, plain and simple. Way too many people are putting faith into too few humans in all this. We don't know anyone's motivation or their actual skill regardless of the framed paper on the wall in an office. I have an FAA license and a brokers license, no joke. I don't practice either, but does that still make me an expert?

Sorry for the rant. Just getting frustrated in people putting all their eggs in one basket and believe that basket is the best/safest. It's not. And history will prove that.

All party's are partisan. This OP is a joke at this point. How the fuck did the term come about?

Some people need to wake up from their fake, altruistic world that doesn't exist and never will regardless of what party is in office. Grow a pair.

@WookieMan Good idea, but how to tell? It's possible to grab a url when someone is posting and look at the text, but then what? It seems technically quite hard to do, especially since they often give an excerpt for free.

But maybe there should be a "paywall" flag on the comment or post that a reader can click to alert others that the link content is not easily available.

The Inspector General is an appointee in the Executive Branch, and serves at the pleasure of the President (or whichever department head that makes the appointment). You are a fraud for cutting off the sentence where you did; let me finish it for you: " . . . within the agency." In other words, the inspector general should report to his/her superior who has made the appointment.

The very idea that Inspector Generals and other bureaucrats can form their own network and work clandestinely against the will of the people who have expressed their wishes in elections every step of the way, and somehow fancy themselves as an overseer of government, is a direct violation of the bureaucrats' oaths to uphold the Constitution of the United States.


Tim Aurora says

What is the role of the inspector general?

A U.S. federal inspector general (IG) is the head of an independent, non-partisan organization established within each executive branch agency assigned to audit the agency's operation in order to discover and investigate cases of misconduct, waste, fraud and other abuse of government procedures occurring within the .

You're trying to fight stubbornness. Good luck. I've probably given up at this point with the OP. There hasn't been one logical argument for their position since they came out of the basement.

I posted it a few days ago. Ignore me & stay stupid.

Here's the problem I have with this concept, you're going to deny the healthy that has not been sick or might never be sick from their rights?

Anyone that doesn't see this is as gross draconian overreach, worthy of a bloody revolt if it is ever realized. Are the prefect Democrat Voter.
