  2. You can't save Maga John. You have to concentrate on what regular folks want. The problem with the democratic party is they are simply Republican lite at this point and people do not like that. People want good wages, affordable housing, affordable food, good schools, safety, affordable healthcare, and entitlements when they get older. How many of those are we failing on? Why is there so much distrust in the D party to get those things done? The Ds constant pandering to the center is what has killed the party and made them the party of "do nothingers". They had direction and momentum in the 60's and then lost it with Carter. The R's got in there with the Southern Strategy and the D's answer was to create their version of Reagan with Clinton. I am not sure if you guys truly understand how bad Clinton hurt the D's long term with his "reaching across the aisle" bullshit. He turned off a lot of people with the Crime Bill, NAFTA, WTO treaty with China, Glass-Steagall reform, etc etc. I remember at the time how many people blamed Clinton for the 2008 Crisis. There is also a large segment who believe the China problem is also because of Clinton and therefore the D's. Add in all the money D's have made while in office and you get apathy on our side and distrust of dems on the other side. The only way out of this is for politicians to start jumping on the sword. Preaching getting money out of politics. Caps on donations is a start. Upping government pay but no longer allowing investments in the market for government officials. You preach that plus what was posted in the first paragraph and people start listening. Until then the people see you as just another corporate shill, and the side that wants pain and cruelty for browns will keep winning.
  3. At first I did not but as time has passed it is getting harder and harder to ignore the possibility.
  4. Again, we weren't really even trying to prosecute anyone. The first round we slapped Epstein on the wrist. A journalist had to go out and dig up witnesses for it to even get the attention of the nation. Only then were we even interested in pressing forward. Then people started getting suicided. We really do not even know how much effort was made to get anyone else or what witnesses really had to say. I am of the opinion that no effort was made past Epstein and then we quickly made sure we got rid of him. I personally think that just like with Epstein, if the people would put pressure on the administration, they would fold just like they did before. What the admin is banking on is a short attention span with the American people.
  5. How do you know about the flats? lol
  6. Twice man, sometimes I don't get you. Your lack of ability to see the grey areas in issues like this is confusing to me. Epstein was able to conduct business and amass ridiculous wealth all over the globe to the point of being able to afford a 22,000 sq ft mansion in Manhattan, a 14,000 sq ft mansion in Palm Beach, TWO Virgin Islands, a 10,000 acre Ranch in Mexico, a 7,900 sq ft apt in Paris, and a couple properties in Ohio that he got from Les Wexner. Epstein paid 150 victims with law enforcement saying there were over 1,000 victims. Yet not a single assaulter was prosecuted? No one? Nada? Why is that Twice? We have the victims right? 1000 of them.
  7. Interview is from a decade ago
  8. You are a weird dude. Willingly stepping in shit as you walk down the sidewalk.
  9. Bussy's has been 2.45ish and that's lowest I've seen it on my end unless you have a gas card that lowers the posted amount.
  10. gotta check this actual pump over the sign
  11. huh? you said what?
  12. Glad you are okay @Gatorubet. A few years back I was in Oakland for a conference. Afterwards a large group of us decide to go bar hopping in downtown Oakland. In the middle of conversation, one of the local guys is going on about how Oakland has has changed. The group decides to head down the street to the next bar. We are walking along and see two guys tussling in the middle of the street. One dude snatches the other dude's phone and just saunters away while the guy laying there is yelling for help. He yells out that he is a cop and even flashes his badge. I turn to the local guy in our group and said,"Oakland has changed huh?". He did not respond.
  13. One trick pony
  14. Depends on what info source you are consuming. If he was watching Fox they said tje regime was after criminals.
