I'm watching here for infractions of the Almighty CamCaps Rules. No KP, no direct threatening other members, and this area is pretty much still free speech and thought (unlike Facebook & Twitter). Some people here don't like freedom for individuals; just group think, absolute governments, beating up people who disagree with you in the streets. Now, everybody here is talking about President Houseplant, so that's fine with me. I'll leave the thread alone. Bring it on.

Please be aware that I do currently (for the time being), live in California, my native state. The population is far bigger than most countries. We don't have control over as many nukes as the US, the former Soviet Union (if it is indeed former) or China. But California could kill any nation with it's Mexican Cartels. California was once was populated by rational creatures. Here's your quote today from the press: "Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday announced a $100 billion “California Comeback Plan” that includes stimulus checks for two-thirds of state residents.If approved by the Legislature, it would result in checks of $600, $1,100 for families and $1,600 for undocumented immigrant families, going out to millions of Californians." I guess I need to change my name to Jose and tell them I want asylum. Easiest $500 I ever made. And people wonder why we native Californians want to dump Newsom and the people who have ruined this state. The "Comeback plan" will not help the small businesses that have been destroyed. They did not have the money and wealth behind them needed to survive, certainly nearly as much as the ruling party had: heis one of those politicians whose unions and contributors thrived. His support for the unions and PGE ought to help him be elected the next president or at least survive the recall.

Such is the problem with government: power corrupts.

What are the chances that Putin should be more worried about conquest by China than conquest by the US? Sino-Soviet relation problems have existed for centuries, way before the US was formed. And although China cannot currently project military power over long distances, it could certainly wipe out Russia. Still, they play together. Well, kinda sorta. Truly, we have a weak president who supports socialism, but the comparison of a semi-capitalist constitutional nation with few people compared to a communist dictatorship deserves some examination.

If I were you, I'd download a different browser, ensure that any ad-blockers are off, and hope that we don't just have a temporary glitch in the CC or Cloudflare systems. I use several browsers, each with different settings, and each one behaves differently. -
Personally, I liked the "General Chat" topic for each apartment. I lobbied for it. But it does get difficult for people with tiny fucking phones and itty-bitty pads to scroll through, and I lost the vote. Me, I only deal with CC when I've got the two big monitors and a real keyboard. And a full stereo system (for the Juke Box in the Old Dude's Forum.) I can handle scrolling forever. Anyone who has an opinion about how to organize CC's forums, just tell it to the Moderators, to the public members, or every body. Explain why you think we should change things. It's easy to do. You, as a member, have a voice to offer suggestions for improvement. Do so. Such suggestions do not need to be placed in Rants and Flame Wars. General discussions or a direct message to the Moderators will be noticed. (I don't bother with modding Rants & Flames. It's unmoderated! (To a very large extent.)

https://usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.htm Where does your country stand on this list? How much do you owe to your government in taxes? Are you financially a responsible nation? Wo steht Ihr Land auf dieser Liste? Wie viel schulden Sie Ihrer Regierung an Steuern? Sind Sie finanziell eine verantwortungsbewusste Nation? Où se situe votre pays sur cette liste? Combien devez-vous à votre gouvernement en impôts? Êtes-vous une nation financièrement responsable? Waar staat jouw land op deze lijst? Hoeveel bent u uw regering aan belastingen verschuldigd? Bent u financieel een verantwoordelijke natie? ¿Dónde se encuentra su país en esta lista? ¿Cuánto le debe a su gobierno en impuestos? ¿Eres una nación económicamente responsable? -
Explain to me how you determine this. I want absolute facts, and I want them to be as convincing as Hillary's admission that she violated the Espionage Act and contrived with Russian intel agents to create a false narrative in hopes of screwing up the 2016 election results. I would also know why rich pigs leftist Democrat/Marxists like Pelosi take a salary from the tax payers, while Trump didn't.

It's obvious to me that if you are in law enforcement, you should not do your job unless you are in a White, Asian, or Hispanic neighborhood. Not when any black person is remotely involved. Now days, everything is about race, and no one cares even though the perp is in the act of commiting a felony or poses a danger to others. Liberals do not believe that African-Americans are smart enough to get an ID, cannot and should not follow the requests of a police officer, and don't want any law enforcement in their neighborhoods.

The idea of starting a race war to divide American citizens is not new. Lacking a peasant class and an economic structure, Moscow suggest through the Second Communist International that such a conflict should be fomented. Read the history of the ComIntern. And read it quickly before it gets wiped. It is a mistake to say that the US won the "Cold War" when the Soviet Empire collapsed. The US was already dying from a poison pill.

Decreasing the size of the Federal Government would save trillions of dollars for the common people. Each region could use that saving to fix their bridges, help churches take care of the homeless, enforce the law, and make social improvements as they saw fit. Hell, in San Francisco those people might even be able to clean the needles and feces off their streets without begging for money from other states!
