    LOL, I'm going to be up all night worrying about that;

     

    I don't do facebook but I can guess who at least a couple of your "friends" are one of them is such a gigantic fraud he even makes you look honest.

    I didn't figure you cared about what anyone thought about you. But that says more about you than then.

  2.  

    That has nothing to do with what they say about you behind your back.

    Yeah, sure. I believe nothing you post. You're trying your best to get under my skin lately, but all you're accomplishing is to demonstrate how messed up you are. You've become quite a topic in certain Facebook groups. But you need to try harder because pubby is still the most ridiculed member here. But you and a couple of others are not far behind.

    No one in Trump's circle has told him he's a freaking moron either at least not to his face. When they are free to speak their mind it's a different story altogether . I suspect you're living in the same bubble he is.

     

    As the old saying goes, and I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm afraid "The jokes on you".

     

    BTW in case you're wondering your not a "stable genius" either.

    I'd hate to see your definition of stable and genius.

     

    BTW...you're making a fool of yourself again. You forget how many people here know me in real life.

    Seeing your partisanship is not a matter of smarts ... it is a matter of perspective. Anyone not looking out your ass can see it clearly.

    Well, that's funny because everyone that knows me, reads me either on The Hwy or Facebook knows that I haven't supported either party in many years. And many of them post here.

     

    So that makes you the fool.

     

    it's extremely clear who the partisans are here, those of you who are filled with hate toward Trump.

    Actually, what you deride as 'socialism' has been saving our butts from the innate cruelty of stone cold capitalism. We have what is known as a mixed economy that through a series of pragmatic, common sense moves since long before the 1930s.

     

    Yep, highways, canals, ports, customs houses, flood control projects )levees) are all socialism in action dating to the founding of the republic.

     

    By the civil war, when Lincoln created a thing called 'land grant colleges' socialism again raised the ante with opportunities for education ... public education being another socialist act for betterment of the public good.

     

    In the 1930s we added programs like social security, unemployment insurance, banking insurance programs, etc. etc. etc. which are all socialistic in intent - i.e. collective actions designed to craft 'a more perfect union' as proscribed in the preamble of the Constitution.

     

    In the mid 1960s, when it was clear that even with social security, the elderly was the most financially devastated demographic - upwards of 40 percent of the elderly in America were living in poverty largely because of the crushing cost of medical care, the 'great society' instituted the medicare program. Socialism has made it possible for most people who spent their youth and middle age contributing to society to live out their days past retirement with dignity.

     

    You bring up Venezuela, a nation that has suffered under autocratic rule for the last 30 years. The problems there was the elevation of first Chavez and later the bozo they now have as 'great leaders' who would salve all wounds and make everything ducky. What drags the Venezuelan people down is their reliance on 'great leaders' who typically self-deal, steal and hide behind their charisma but offer little in the way of governing skills other than a willingness to explore new forms of corruption.

     

    To compare the traditions and institutions of the United States of America to Venezuela is like comparing an education at Harvard University or MIT to the education offered by a one-room Madras school in Allepo Syria. The disparity is so great, I take the effort to make it as an insult to my nation. Shame on you.

    PS: Your reference to the largely fringe rise of the right in Europe establishes you as a white nationalist with its strong ties to fascism.

    Things like highways and canals are spelled out in the constitution. There are necessary functions of government, and those are not to be confused with entitlement programs. You trumpet Social Security, but it is one of the very programs that is breaking us. Why? Because of the same reason that government shouldn't get into any of these kinds of things....politicians can't keep their hands out of it. The more money we give them, the more they use to pander and buy votes.

     

    No matter how you spin the Venezuela situation, it's because of Socialism. IT DOES NOT WORK!!!

    And yet Trump didn't create a single job or hire a single person. Well he did but most of them are headed off to prison.

    Tax cuts and regulation rollback, as well as confidence in the handling of the economy.

     

    Even a dummy can see that we had eight years of a dead slow "recovery" (I'm being generous), and then mere weeks after Trump took office the economy exploded with growth.

     

    Trump might not have done everything right, but he's dead on with this part.

  7. The Democratic Party has gone completely over the cliff for Socialism, they want to make the United States a Socialist country. They are dismissive of the fact that Socialism has failed or will fail everywhere it's been tried; the Democrats constantly ignore reason and common sense in favor of their ideological experiment that goes directly against the very nature of man.

    We all know what has happened to Venezuela because of Socialism, and Mexico is likely the next South American country to suffer the same fate.

    Europe is having rumbles of civil war because of Socialism and the potentially deadly immigration policies of the left.

    And even in the face of these obvious failures of the ideology, the Democrats are still embracing Socialism. It has been said that the definition of insanity of doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results each time. Whether due to insanity or just extreme ignorance; the Democrats would absolutely destroy our nation as we know her if they were to have their way.

    A good strategy would not to hold a 2nd and 3rd mortgage on your property. But then you do have that trophy wife to keep happy . :wacko:

    I don't have a second anymore. I only kept one for tax purposes, and they are no longer deductable so I paid it off.

     

    But you wouldn't understand things like that anymore than you would understand having a beautiful wife who loves you.

    Maybe someday you will work your way out of debt and you'll get to retire.

    Thanks but the only debt I have is my mortgage and I could pay it off now if I wanted to. I need the tax deduction. Besides, I like working. It gives me something to do so I don't become a bitter and angry old man.

    He won't look silly; rather if it doesn't happen, I'm sure he will feel bad because the bullies have won. Of course he would be wise enough to know when bullies are above the law; the only law left is that of the jungle.

    Oh boo hoo! The big bad bullies.

     

    Your post makes you look like such a snowflake.
