Sir, pre Nixon and maybe even into the late 70’s, The USA did actually make stuff here, shitty cars being one of them. Senile Ronnie loved the idea of “competition” of the finest and ran with it all. More cheap stuff coming in, in some cases, decent quality. You are correct, Americans did not buy it because they/we loved the Chinaman” but because it was cheap. In some cases insanely cheap, didn’t matter if it was good quality or bad quality, cheap was good enough in many cases. As for little xi wanting to cause a big problem for the USA of A, he could do so, against his best interests, which I doubt he or any other current leader is dumb enough to do…well maybe rump is dumb enough..? However, at that point, being game over perhaps, the USA could simply really screw everyone and just print enough money to just pay off the debt, the money would essentially be worthless to any and all, but it would clear the tab and basically really fuck every one, including/especially the USA, but we might have the last laugh. Rumour abound about how rich and or powerful China really is…as no one really seems to know, I’d advise we plan accordingly. Interesting enough, Bill Maher made a very good comment the other night on his show. He basically said the recent Chinese AI event which upset the stock market, was a “Sputnik moment.” It was basically one of those moments that showed Americans “…we aren’t first, we aren’t number 1 at this and we’d better step up our game or suffer as a result…” I tend to agree…. Enjoy your wine, aspirin before drinking, during and after, can help with avoiding hangovers…

I believe the call went something like this: Her: “…listen to me pendejo, I’m a JEW, I know money…probably better than you as YOU filed bankruptcy how many times? I NEVER filed…so listen up PUTO, these tarries are going to mean higher food prices, your people are bitching already! How much more can they take if they can’t take it now..? So NO tarries, I will send troops to help control the illegal flow of people and drugs, drugs that YOUR PEOPLE WANT, maybe try doing something about that? Anyway, we’ll help stop the flow of drugs and people and you, quietly, will pay us for that, ok Pluto..?” rump: “…ah ok…BTW, ever Urinate on a rich man..?” I have it on good authority that was the call. As for “The Golden Century…” Ah Maybe not, I think our run is coming to an end fast… I blame Richard Nixon for “recognizing China” and opening what would become the flood gate that ruined American manufacturing. Regan started the union busting that lead to lower pay and benifits, changed pension laws to allow companies to basically NOT pay what was earned (happened to me you may recall) and generally fueled unprecedented greed which grew under Bush2, then rump and well the democrats did nothing to stop it and also got rich. We are now a nation run by Oligarchs, no different than Russia maybe a few more basic rights, for now but that’s about it. Post WW2, the USA saw its infrastructure, which remained intact, boom, everyone made a great living and the sky was the limit! My “parents” generation saw an economic boom like never before and thought it would never end…CEO’s (there really was no such thing) were rich, but not the insane gap you see today while workers suffer. So what happened? Well, no one watched the store…they let government slowly turn up the heat, slowly chip away and the “greatest generation” took the attitude of “We worked for it! We got ours, go get yours if you don’t you are lazy!” That bunch had it all practically handed to them, and didn’t give a shit about the future…mention recycling or the environment to my deceased adopted father and be ready to hear a long dissertation on how it is related to communism, homosexuality and a plan for global domination…” They all had their’s and “…that’s good enough, don’t make waves…” and knew their place. Drugs in the USA…J. Edgar Hoover, COINTEL PRO and a host of other conspiracies to kill off blacks, there is your answer. We never had a drug problem in the USA until one of the Kennedy kids and a few other prominent kids got caught and or OD’d. Regan saw “the war on drugs” as a diversion from is destructive path and ran with it. More enforcement meant higher prices, higher prices meant more people wanted to get into the game…fine and dandy when it was in the black ghettos, but now that rich white kids are hooked, it’s a problem. Pretty drug offenses mean more people in “prisons for profit” and it goes on and on…I’d rant more but I have to go to work and “slave for the man…”

The USA was fucked when Nixon opened the flood gates to Chinese goods. In doing so, a monster was created…one that may ultimately gobble another monster…

Ah good old Felix, AKA Max Gomez AKA Jorge Lopes AKA Nancy Sommer…check out a book called “Barry and the Boy” goes into all sorts of details…BTW, famous drug smuggler and CIA pilot Barry Seal was in a civil air patrol unit with a guy named Lee Harvey Oswald and others who were tied to the job in Dallas…his airplane(s) fell into GWB’s hands at various point…the conspiracies are real… -
The USofA does not manufacture much anymore, so yes, the tariffs will hurt the USA citizens far worse than they will hurt the country that is exporting the goods to here. We need them more than they need us…slightly maybe…? Some how, the Maggots will spin it to something other administrations did etc…wait till egg prices drip $.10 gas is already down, seasonal demand? No, it was the new Massiah deporting illegals that lowered the price!!

I never said either boot was desirable, it would be better if there was no boot all, I agree both are poisonous.

I’m trying not to cry…honestly, I don’t think it will be any worse than the first time…Biden sucked dog shit…but this is starting to look like a new level of shit never before seen…maybe if carter won a second term..?

“…I’m just gonna say this, and I really don’t need to say this, because everyone knows this already, ask anyone, they will tell you, but my posts are the best posts, they are, everyone knows it…probably, and I’m not bragging they way sleepy joe would, but everyone knows that what I post is 100% true and the only ones who disagree are the kind of people who support DEI and illegals ruing our country…I know, I know it sickens you as much as it sickens the rest of us…which is why today, I’m sorry it was so late, but the liberals in the courts, the people who hate freedom, hate our country said I couldn’t do it, but I did anyway, because I love this country and that si what I need your help in reporting anyone who hates my post and therefore is anti American and anti freedom…” Damned, maybe I could get a job with him…not that these are that good, but most Americans are probably dumb enough to bury it…

As a potential speech write for DJT, let me try… “… am not at liberty to discuss all this that pertain to this matter, as commander and chief, I am bound by certain rules of conduct, almost sacred really, rules that honestly make no sense to me, as I feel America has a right to know, you folks know, I am the biggest lover of America, American freedom, and all it stands for, but rules are in place that I am forced to follow…and you know, I am no bigger lover of the law and following the rules, something I have preached for years, now maybe coming back to bite me who knows..? I suppose I could blame the Clintons or Obama, who may or may not responsible, I’m not saying either way, not my place to judge, I’ll let America decide, as they did in the last 2 elections, 1 of which I won, clearly and 1 of which I was cheated out of…really, I wasn’t so much cheated as America was cheated, that is the sad part really, I love America, no one loves America more than me, that is why I am still here, at an age when most so called “Americans” would have thrown in the towel, said “that’s it, I’m done” not me, not when my country needs me and not when so many fine people, AMERICAN people have said how much they love me and need me…no, not me, I’ll do it my way as Frank Sinatra once sang, no, I will do it as America needs…and we shall together, make America great again..!!!” How’s that?

What part of This is best for America and therefore the world don’t you understand..? Seriously dude, what kind of communist crack have you been smoking..? MAGA all the way for the USA…or maybe you hate America and hate freedom and want the terrorists to win..? Is that is comrade..?

“…The six people on the plane were identified as Capt. Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales, co-pilot Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo, paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla, patient Valentina Guzman Murillo and her mother, Lizeth Murillo Ozuna...” “…Obviously ALL illegal imigrants on their way to a USA supermarket to use their stolen benifits, benefits that were paid for my hard working American tax payers, to by booze, cigarettes and prime rib and lobster tails on our dime, well this has got to stop..! I’m telling you folks, this is the kind of thing Biden would have tolerated, Harris would have lined them up and blown them and paid them each $1000 from your tax money, but not on my watch…” my speech writer submission for DJT…

Buffy Honey, said with a head dip upward glance, not in a gay way, what you fail to understand is…er…somehow, making my grocery bill go up 25%+ will make America great again! By Making America great again, you sir will some how in some mystical way have it better also, because what is good for America is good for the rest of the world, John Wayne said so! MAGA yes, Kum-by-ya NO! Kum-by-ya is communism…Pete sugar sang this song and he was a commie, so bad for America, bad for the world…see what I mean?

True. I do accept restrictions here as normal and some I don’t like and can freely say so with fear of government reprisal. While I dislike my government on many levels, I don’t live in fear of them the way some people do. Certainly in China you cannot form Militia groups that advocate over throwing the government, oppressing/exterminating enemies and racial groups etc…How would China have handled a January 6th situation? I also know what Chinese people tell me about the place. In the USA and other places, it is ok to be critical of the government without fear, view things that are NOT allowed in China (unless part of the elite regime) and other things as simple as ballroom dancing, listening to certain music reading political literature etc…as I said, you see Chinese people leaving to set up shop abroad and to seek greater freedoms, you don’t see as many westerners heading that way for the same reason do you? “ American boot” is real I agree, oppressive, racist etc, but if given a choice, would you rather live under a western boot or the Chinese boot? Pick 1… BTW, here in California, the state will pay you for time off if you have a kid, up to 90 days, you can also get FMLA (Family medical leave act) for 90 days…many jobs do pay time off for having a kid, which I disagree with as I feel having a kid is a choice and I should not have to take less to give them more as it comes out of the same till. Holiday/vacation pay I always felt was too little too late in the USA. After 30+ years, I get 7 weeks+ 4 floating holidays and 6 deferrable, so 9 weeks and if I play it right but it took that long to get. 3 months sick pay? We accrue 1 day (8hrs) per month here takes about 10 years to hit max time accrual, which I also disagree with. Sick is sick, there should be a safety net to keep you from falling into poverty simply because you fell ill. Drinking at 18…was the law in many/most states pre Ronnie Regan (that asshole) He with held highway aid to states that refused to play along with his demanding the age be changed to 21 nationally, which I also disagree with, Montana was the last state to hold out. Certain beaches and parks and streets allow public consumption of alcohol. The problem isn’t so much the parks as the assholes who can’t drink responsibly and get drunk and annoy others and cause problems. I got ticketed for Jaywalking once, it was bullshit. Police harassment is a real thing here, NOT based on race as much as it is on appearance and the cops bullshit attitudes and lack of training. My ticket got tossed out of court, I tried to hold the cop accountable for his bullshit, good luck with that… But still, I prefer a country where I can say “fuck my government” without fear. Is it perfect? Hell no, no place is, but as I said if I have a choice of one over the other, I’d take “western style oppression” over “Chinese oppression” any day. So would many Chinese people.

For that matter, a lot of “classic” paintings depicted naked babies and prepubescent children (mainly boys) which leads to the question “what is art? what is Porn? And what is the real proper age to sexualize someone? Here in the good old USofA, legal age of consent varies from place to place as young as 13 with conditions to 16 in other states and 18 in others…you must register for the draft, could be drafted and forced to war or enlist and go to war at age 18, but you can’t buy alcohol, tobacco or porn until you are 21… The USA gets real uptight about “age of consent,” Customs officials make real issue of this…*if* you say went to Colombia where the age of consent is 14, had sex with a 14-17.99 year old, customs could arrest you for it upon returning to the USA…have pictures of it, it is child porn but various paintings are considered art…go figure..? -
1) China oppresses human right far worse than the USA does, and we are pretty damned bad about it. I know people from mainland china here, they are latterly a “dime a dozen” in these parts, they all say the same thing, there are 2 China’s 1 the tourists see and “the real China” that many foreigners never see. I could go on, but I’d be accused of furthering USA propaganda. I’ll leave it at “…you see a lot of them coming here(there everywhere) but you seldom if ever see the westerners going there to make it big…” Yes the USA bombs the shit out of countries, your point is? I’ll state in many cases, it has been wrong/illegal and those in power should be charged with war crimes and human rights violations. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were unnecessary in terms of “fighting terrorism” and were ONLY about pipelines and oil… China invaded (militarily) Vietnam in 1979 (yes decades ago) and got their ass handed to them. They did so to “punish Vietnam” for invading/liberating Cambodia from the Chinese backed Khmer Rouge. China currently is playing the same game the USA and other countries has played, mainly invading countries financially in order to exploit resources and people. The bottom line question remains, you/we will/do live under the boot of oppression, would you rather it be an American/western boot or a Chinese boot “communist” boot? In the west you can legally watch porn and smoke weed and pretty much do what you want/can afford. Under the Chinese boot, you can’t…there are other reasons why I’d pick the western boot. In short, I consider the Chinese government’s bullshit a lot worse than that of the USA Government’s bullshit.

I have been enlightened, thank you sir.

Please elaborate on this Mars bar thing if you would-Thank you.

Enjoy yourself sir! I am currently, post storm, delayed in Hawaii…hoping to get out in a few hours and back home to the serenity of California life.

No, sir, I am sober, I wrote this as an interview piece as a sound bite (Byte?) writer For DJT I see it worked one some and failed on others… Glad you see the power of the word *MAY* and *MAYBE*. That said *ALLEGEDLY,* at least one of the top LA fire fighters had NO experience as a fire fighter or as a director/supervisor on fire scenes… This *POSSIBLY* true in the case of the other 2 top LA fire chiefs…all *SUPPOSEDLY* had no fire fighting experience and just had a rescue background they were *PROBABLY* socially promoted to their positions as part of DEI programs…
-
As he apparently said so, without any proof he could reference, he was wrong to say it. But to be honest, DEI *MAY* have p-laced a part in some hiring practices in some government places that *MAY* have resulted in disasters…that *MAYBE* could have been prevented had the proper/best person been hired rather than a trans/non-binary upside down lesbo a-gender person…which may or may not have been the problem in LA with the fires…

He didn’t, it was frozen/stopped for him by a federal judge who is not certain this president really has the authority to do this…

Oddly, I am one of maybe 2 Americans here at the moment and even I don’t give a shit about US politics as much as some do…

You’d better hope china loses this one… I’m no fan of USA global domination, but it beats the hell out of what China would do…
