    Not true if papa Mitch from Kentucky is in charge of the senate not a damn thing will get through.

    To state we do not to care about other coutries is a bit naive. For business growth for US business we need a good relationship.

    I meet with folks from France, Germany, Japan, Indian and China once a week at least. It’s good to meet and learn other cultures and what I have learned is most ain’t much different than us Americans.

    Meh, fat chance. It still has to go through the House and Senate. I don't think Biden is a one man show and I'll be somewhat surprised if he does very many executive orders. I'm more interested in his cabinet, I was never impressed with Carson, Devos and quite a few others Trump picked. Outside of Carson, most appointees had a business or financial interest in the position they held and that didn't really jive with me. And not in some expert way, pretty much the opposite, personal interest.

    I will say this. Some here will make fun of "Can't we all just get along" and I really think that's some sad chit. It is all people not just one particular group. And honestly I wonder if we can pull it off. It'd be like opening a vegan friendly steakhouse and all are welcome at the table, doable but the work/respect is on both sides of the table. It be like asking Tim to sit down and have an enlightened conversation with that triggered girl.. but I think in the end both are good people that could find some common ground. It is in the best interest of capitalism and freedom. Mutual respect is a hard pill to swallow and being opinionated, one sided and selfish is easy. Then factor in social media and being able to find someone who agrees with you no matter how wrong or right, you get the last 8 years of this bs parade. From gun rights to gay rights, idgaf so long as you let me do as I please within the law. But we have to effin chill on all this hyper rhetoric being fed to both sides bc its coming from the same place and its by design.

    Can not agree to disagree with city burning "peaceful" protests. Live in the country and sick and tired of the cityidiots dictating how we should feel and how many people we can have over for thanksgiving.

    Oh no hell no the liberals started it in 2016, you do not get to ignore the pussy hat marches, bet Trump banged less chicks than Bill. The democrats response in 2016 was like the minnesota vikings in a Super Bowl game.

    Thats what a dialog is for.. Having grown up on a farm and living in the city I set them straight all the time. Its easy if you can just talk about it without slinging insults.

    I never sling the first insult I will not suffer a fool. I am nice till it is time to not be nice. I apply the same leadership to business as I did on the fireline. Ownership in the final product and accountability some can not live up to that and blame others.

    I will say it again. I have hurt nobody in my 45 years.. I don't oppress anyone...I don't have that kind of power...I am freaking public school teacher.. what do I have? I am at the bottom of the pole. I looked around my town and I see blacks thriving...I mean doing really well. I don't see the oppression... I don't have white guilt because I don't have any privilege's.. I grew up with blacks, went to school with blacks and grew up middle class like most of them. We shot basketball together, ate dinner together and yeh, we made racial jokes around each other and directed them to each other.. we didn't get offended, ass hurt or need a safe space.. we laughed and remained friends.. I don't see those guys anymore, we went our separate ways over the years and that is just life. But I know this, democrats made race an issue all over again in this country. My ex wife is half black and she woke up one day said, I can't be with you anymore because you ain't black and now I am, and I am a black woman I need a black man...well, it hasn't gone well for her... but she drank the cool aid and walked out on a good husband and her children because she followed the narrative of the left.. I blame her for her stupidity, and them for the encouragement. The dems/liberal left have created a racial divide akin to the old south my friends. they don't want racial harmony. they want chaos, I will have no part in it

    Well I have nothing more to offer then. I'm no longer going to base my life on emotional politics. I'm not here to defend the Clintons, berate the Trump or even feign interest in Biden. Two turd lollipops ran for president, which one you wanna lick? I look forward to watching mankind further digress fighting over whose gonna blow their elected Master for the next four years, every four years. I only hope we can continue to find the same type of human garbage every four years to hoist on high like the Golden calf for all to adore. This system really works in controlling the chattel, sorry debt slaves.

    Tim, we did well under Trump, the same as we did under Obama. We only ever suffered under Bush Jr. with the higher gas prices and truth be told we even benefitted under him bc of the housing market crash and buying up foreclosures and then turned around two years later using Obama's first time buyer program and more than tripled our money.

    My wife is the smart one, she owns a two product lines. They are the same thing in the same bottle just two different labels. One is marketed to tough guys, maybe more right leaning with a portion of proceeds going to a veterans charity. The other is marketed to left leaning hippy girls with a portion of the proceeds going to an environmental charity. Same product. One for beards, one for Instagram perfect hair. Both are total suckers. Made popular by two Podcasters a right wing nut job with a hardcore steroid fueled audience of gun loving bearded guys the other a BLM protesting peace loving liberal with an audience full of triggered girls highly offended by middle age white guys. We take and spend their money the same, so I can't belly ache too much. If you pit red and blue against one another it makes green.

    If we actually looked at it most did well under Trump and Obama. Hell since we have screwed up this pandemic so bad my company is raking it in right now, at least double on average per day.

    Keep being party hacks and enabling the Duopoly and the result will continue to be the american people getting shafted. A lot of people like myself that voted for Trump orginally were looking for an outsider that would chop at both sides to expose the underbelly of why both these parties do not represent the American people. Instead what we got was the biggest party hack of all, he fell right in line with same old narrative, red is good, blue is bad. Same way a democrate would have proclaimed blue is good red is bad. But the truth is they are one in the same at this point, and until the american people admit that both these parties are beholden only to themselves and their donors nothing will change.
    Your neighbors, friends, family, Joe blow from across town isnt your enemy because they have different views. There is always a foundation of commonality to build on if you look for it. Look for it

    Well, they probably already have nukes because we lost our ability to monitor what's going on there. A result of backing out of a deal we made with them. We never knew exactly what they were doing, but at least we had boots on the ground there to give us some idea. Now we have zero idea.

    As far as the pallets of cash goes, that was money that already belonged to Iran that we were withholding from them. People make it sound like we just "gave" it to them. That's not the case.

    Here's a question for everyone. We know deep down that Trump has lost the election, despite allegations of voter fraud, NONE of which have been proven. Even at this rather late stage. Even if there were fraudulent votes, there wouldn't be nearly enough of them to make up the considerable difference in total legal votes.

    That being the case, at this stage, what would be Trump's motivation in removing long tenured employees of the Pentagon and replacing them with conformist? All this is doing is weakening our system during a most vulnerable time, and it's being done for spite!. Like I said, Trump's going to "burn it down" on his way out. He can't except a defeat like a man, so he's going to make it hell for a lot of people along the way. Trump cares about Trump, period.

    So you're not capable of taking care of yourself? I just want information and then leave me the hell alone to make my own decisions.
    The day I depend on someone in Government telling me how to live my life is the day I...well, become a socialist I guess.

    How much says the firing of The Secretary of Defense and installing Tata is nothing more than a ploy for Trump selling State secrets in order to satisfy his "lenders"? I mean, Tata is some weirdo conspiracy theorist that has already been denied a job at the Pentagon once, sounds like a perfect position for a person of such low quality.

    They aren't telling anybody how to live their lives, they're giving serious suggestions on how to not die from a very deadly disease. People are making this much more difficult than it needs to be! For the record, this virus is worse now than it's been since the beginning of the pandemic. Trump, keep up the good work...
