The amazing, miraculous, vanishing taxpayer megabux

Moar lies from Chuckles Schroomer.


“Show more” workaround.

The federal government has very few resources left for helping small businesses, farmers, people rebuilding their homes, communities fixing their main streets and repairing their highways.

This is a problem for states across the country, whether they be represented by Democrats or Republicans.

The only fix is congressional action.

Democrats are working across the aisle to reach an agreement that will help cities, towns, and rural areas rebuild.

*cough cough* BULLSHIT. *cough cough*


Ain’t no squaring that circle, I’m afraid. I wish there was.

  1. No matter what you might think of Russia and Putin, Ukraine was obviously always a Scam and the War intentionally started by our Commie Grifters.

    There isn’t, and never was, any advantage to America to pledge our Lives, Honor and Fortunes to defending Ukraine.

    1. X2
      now what do We, The People, do about this.
      the uh! stuff started to slide over my lower lip several years back;
      now, it appears, they’re shovelin’ it down my throat as fast as they can
      they being the propagandists working for both sides of the aisle
      I’m all ears, what do we do about it.
      just for one, are Joe Biden’s pardons valid?

    2. “No matter what you might think of Russia and Putin,” they are the invaders of the Ukraine.
      FIFY

      1. @ Barry
        if you keep poking the bull, you shouldn’t be surprised when you wind up on his horns
        Read the (recent) history of Russia and the European states (NATO)

        1
        1. Here is russian history for you:

          The russians have never had a military worth spit. Their entire credibility rests upon defeating the advance of a german army in WW2, a german army that was ill prepared for winter battle and led by a maniac that was without question the worst military tactician in history. The russians have been beaten by the Japanese (Soundly beaten, decimated, check out the Treaty of Portsmouth), the russians were defeated by a 3rd world country called Afghanistan, went home with their tales between their legs. The russians cannot, after 3 years, even defeat a 3rd world country 1/5th their size when they can just drive there (while we send man and material around the world).

          Poke the bull? It has no horns, it never has. And it is the russians that invaded ukraine, and no they didn’t invade the ukraine foe some legitimate reason, they invaded like the russians have in the past, for empire.

          Just so it’s clear – I have never suggested nor supported sending a single dime to the ukraine. The government there is corrupt, our government supporting them is corrupt, it is a giant money laundering scheme (your pocket to theirs).

          1. I don’t agree about Putin, then again I don’t disagree about the the cause of the extreme devaluation of our dollar over the past four years; there are a lot of very/more wealthy politicians on both sides of the aisle (better known as “We’ve been raped!”) – but let’s watch the show over the next four years: hopefully, the DOJ will begin living up to its name.

            1. I assume you mean the purchasing power due to inflation rather than “devaluation of our dollar” given the dollar has not been devalued against other currencies.

              Who is Putin?
              Putin’s grandfather served both Lenin and Stalin as their personal cook. His father was a Navy conscript.
              Putin was a KGB man. The KGB recruits killers and trains them to be better killers. Putin was posted to East Germany for 5+ years were he ran the “Red Brigades” (Red Army Faction or Baader–Meinhof Gang), a terrorist organization responsible for death and destruction throughout Germany and Italy. Everything follows that. Not a nice man, not a man that values your freedom. He’s a thug, a killer, a terrorist, and a corrupt to the core dictator.

      2. So in 1967 Israel was “the bad guys” for invading those other three countries…

        1. Perhaps you would explain how they are related? Given that the Israeli’s had already been in two previous conflicts with Arab countries intent upon wiping out the country of Israel, and given the level of attacks suffered by the Israelis leading up to the 6 day war, I find no parallel to the two conflicts.

          Given that one lasted 6 days and the russians are going on for three years I find that to be a stretch as well.

          Perhaps I missed something?

          1. Simple. Deployment, or even talk if deployment, of military assets to a border is a Cassus Belli and can justify a pre-emptive response.

            Can someone please tell me what benefit America gets from putting our troops and advanced weapon systems on the border of Ukraine and Russia?

            1. So, the country that previously murdered perhaps 10 million Ukrainians, has recently invaded other countries in the region, has invaded Ukraine previously, masses troops and material at the Ukraine border –
              But the moment the Ukraine and any ally deploys any defensive assets that is a “Cassus Belli” for the russians to invade the Ukraine.
              When I was in school we refereed to this as circular logic.

              Have the Ukrainians ever in invaded russia?
              Was there ever any fear the the Ukraine had plans to invade russia?
              In fact, have the russians ever been under any fear that Europe/nato countries were planning to invade russia rather than defend against a russian invasion?

              No, no, & no.

              The literal opposite is true. Since 1945 the only threat in the region has been the russians. The russians have murdered and militarily held hostage people in countries throughout the region.

              We nuked the wrong country in 1945, or at least failed to include Moscow. At the root of damn near every terrorist action since 1945 are the russians.

              1. The Soviet Union which killed 10 million Ukrainian also killed 30 million Russians.

                It’s GONE.

                The Communists in Russia are gone.

                The Communists are in DC and Sacramento, NYC, Chicago, and Brussels and Beijing.

              1. Expanding NATO, even talking about it, is doing it.

                It is an offensive military alliance dedicated to fighting Russia.
                There was absolutely no justification for invoking NATO in former Yugoslavia or Libya. It was ridiculous in Afghanistan. Only one or two NATO members even agreed with what we were doing.
                Then we run a Coup in Ukraine.

                The rest of the World can see what’s going on. Our CIA is out of control and we all know they probably have CIA embedded in the FBI. Illegally.

                WE know what’s going on, but since you Hate Russians, you have a blind spot.

                They’re using US and NATO to advance Communism. To direct away from the other Communists in China.

                This is why Russia is Emmanuel Goldstein.

                You can see it when they try to Frame Trump with Russia Collusion. With Russia Russia Russia.
                But the Germans and French and British don’t have any real fear of Russia.

                Ukraine is a MacGuffin. A Money Laundry for Deep State Robbery of our Treasure and a deathtrap that will eventually cost us our Blood. You want your grandchildren and children dying for Ukraine? The Vindman and Z crooks who helped Impeach Trump and bribed half the government in DC?

                Nope. Not buying into this whole Shitshow.

                1. So every problem in the world, every bad thing ever done by anyone, is justification for the russians invading Ukraine.

                  Let’s be clear – The RUSSIANS invaded Ukraine. The Ukraine, nor NATO, did not invade Russia. Period. Your attempt to justify the russians corruption is a failure. Just because the US government is corrupt and communist doesn’t justify russia invading Ukraine.

                  The russians did not invade Ukraine to stop NATO expansion – as NATO is ecxpanding because of their invasion.
                  The russians are failing in their desire to expand the empire. Not only have they been unable to defeat a 3rd world country 1/5 their size right on their own border, they are losing their control around the world as a result – now Syria is gone and along with it russian influence and bases in the region.

                  The russians are evil. The “soviet union” wasn’t evil without the russians. The “Soviet Union” was a slave operation run out of Moscow.

                  Do I hate the Russians?
                  Yes, they are evil.

                  1. Strawman. Pointing out bad things about NATO is NOT pointing to “every bad thing ever done by anyone”. JUST NATO and the Neo_soviets that control it.

                    I am pointing out why NATO expansion is viewed negatively by Russia.

                    It should be viewed negatively by Americans too.

                    Your argument comes down to 100 years ago through 30 years ago Soviets did bad things. Hence, I hate Russians.

                    The Soviets are GONE.

                    The Russians see the Neo-Soviets are in control of NATO.

                    When Trump is in control the situation normalizes. We should be out of NATO (and NATO disbanded) and then the Neo-Soviets in DC and Brussels etc will not have that NGO/Extranational Military Entity at their Command ever again.

                    1. “The Soviets are GONE.”

                      Oh baloney. The russians were the “Soviet Union”, all the other people were kept by force. That is such hogwash it bears repeating – The RUSSIANS were the Soviet “Union”, and the only thing unified was the force the russians used to enslave the others.

                      If you believe the russians are no longer doing “bad things”, then you have paid no attention to the world in general. The russians are aligned with and support every anti-American culture in the world, support every terror organization in the world, support the terrorist countries such as Iran.

                      Nothing has changed.

                      Your argument, such that it is, is this:

                      Everyone but the russians are responsible for the russian invasion of the Ukraine. The russians were forced to do it by evil Americans/westerners. The russians have no responsibility at all.

                2. “Expanding NATO, even talking about it, is doing it.”

                  There have been some 200 million people murdered by states in the last 100 years or so. NATO is not responsible for those. Russia is responsible for at least 50-75 million murders.
                  That’s just a fact.
                  And I don’t even like NATO. Russia is 75 million deaths more evil than NATO.

                  1. Communists murdered them.

                    Communists in current NATO States are every bit as responsible for those deaths as Russian Communists. Polish Communists, for instance.

                    Why don’t you hate Poles? Poles killed millions of their own people to institute Soviet Communism there.
                    East Germans.

                    Do you Hate ALL Chinese because there are Chinese Communists?
                    Do you Hate Americans because there are American Communists? Can you understand the distinction right here in the United States between the two? Communists here are TWANLOC. They are trying to enslave Americans every bit as much as the Communists enslave the peoples of all those other Countries.

                    It’s not the Russians, IT’S THE COMMUNISTS.

                    1. “It’s not the Russians, IT’S THE COMMUNISTS.”

                      A distinction without a difference. The russians were never, just like all the others, pure doctrinaire communists. After the wall fell and there was some hope the russians would move toward freedom, putin cam along and put an absolute halt to that. It’s back to the same old russian playbook, the same as ever. They just don’t have a pretend politburo anymore. Otherwise, not a nickels difference between Lenin/Stalin and the grandson of their cook. They are commies all.

                      As for your part about hatred – it should be understood, most do, that expressing a hatred for the russians imply’s a hatred of the commie government, not every single russian.

                      I had a Russian secretary for 10+ years. She and her husband got out before the wall came down, got out the hard way.

  2. No matter how disgusting the current administration is, they always find a way to pile it higher and deeper.

FREEDOM!!!

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster

“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
Charles Bukowski

“A slave is one who waits for someone to come and free him.”
Ezra Pound

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
Frank Zappa

“The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.”
John Adams

"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves."
Bertrand de Jouvenel

"It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged."
GK Chesterton

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."

David Black, from Turn Left For Gibraltar

"If the laws of God and men, are therefore of no effect, when the magistracy is left at liberty to break them; and if the lusts of those who are too strong for the tribunals of justice, cannot be otherwise restrained than by sedition, tumults and war, those seditions, tumults and wars, are justified by the laws of God and man."
John Adams

"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Frederick Douglass

"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."
