Well, things didn't work out. I guess it was destiny to have Trump be the last president in the 40-year cycle we've talked about here.
Biden didn't sound senile at all today as he nailed Trump to the wall in his speech on the anniversary of his attempted coup. I don't even call it an insurrection, because such might be laudible against a real tyrant that had seized power, as is happening today in Kazakhstan and has been tried in countless other countries recently where democracy had been stolen or never allowed. But this was a tyrant using lies to turn everything upside down in the heads of fools like Classic Xer so that a demagogue tyrant could seize power. It failed, but still threatens to happen again.
Yay!!! Biden didn't sound senile at all today. Is Biden the last POTUS?
I dunno. Do you have any inside information on any Chixculub-style disaster? A super-volcano eruption? Invaders from another star system with advanced military power and incredible ruthlessness?
No the United States is not merging with Japan and accepting its Emperor, in which case America will not need a President.
Quote:Will Trump be the first President of the American States?
God help us should he be President of anything! Considering what he has done, he might be the first ex-President to go to prison as an inmate.
Quote:How long will it be before you see what's going on in Kazakhstan going on in Chicago and other blue cities?
People are protesting against an authoritarian regime with a very bad record on human rights -- and the dictator has called for help from his good buddy Vladimir Putin. That can't be good. How does that compare to Chicago? Are there big protests against a dictatorial regime in Chicago as there are in Almaty? If you are thinking of street crime, then the military isn't good at solving any of it (except to treat the wounded. Military physicians were brought into a hospital in Los Angeles a few years ago to treat people injured with gunfire from military-style weapons. The drug gangs can roast in Hell for all I am concerned, and American addicts are culpable for the blood money involved in the violence involving the trafficking in illegal drugs.
Quote:I'm amazed at (what) the Democratic population is willing to put up with these days. One other thing, it would take more than an unarmed mob to over throw the government.
Are you calling for such? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Quote:I think you should (vile metaphor excised) stop acting like some fool and get a grip on reality because the games you and the Democrats are used to playing are ending. You should be busy figuring out what your going to do to afford the millions of illegals that the American States are going to be dropping off at your border or community coupled with the millions coming in illegally. Oh and then there's all the criminals that blues are attracting with their senseless laws that only benefit criminals. I mean, we'll be able to shoot them on sight in America.
The big agricultural interests in Red states and Red parts of Blue states hire huge numbers of illegal aliens to do agricultural labor and to do industrial-style food production as in dairies and slaughterhouses. Such workers are cheap and reliable, and as illegal aliens they won't be voting. They will be easy to deport should they strike. You have it very wrong: many corporate farmers couldn't afford to be without such cheap, reliable labor that does work that few others would do.
As for crime, something like this

is a powerful deterrent to burglaries, rapes, and muggings. Except for good behavior (yours and the dog's) this is a dangerous predator. It might be great with the kids, but pose a threat to the kids and you have just met something with much too much in common with bears and Big Cats. Such a dog could overpower an intruder in less time than you could grab your gun. You will instead call the cops and call the tiger off the crook when the cops tell you to do so. Worse things can happen to a crook than to go away for an extended stay at the grey-bar hotel, like savage bites and scratches from one of the last animals that you would want as an enemy.
