    ABC news “accidently” are election results for Pennsylvania today during coverage of a car race. Apparently they were just “testing” the system, it showed Harris 52% vs trump 47%…

    Being 'poor' but free to live your life as you see fit is better than the alternative.

    The one Stat I find curious that Pete omitted - is the internal migration stats from Blue states to Red States.

    Almost like people value freedom....

Just in these latest posts you are giving a clearly corrupt bribe taking right wing supreme Court justice a free pass because you like the way he votes, show me to the video in an effort to point out how much the left has changed from the hippy days while hileriously ignoring trump has exterminated the gop in 7 short years. I have seen some post in here most people in a cult have no idea they are in a cult and you have made me a believer in this theory!

    That is the first time I have watched a Joe Rogan clip and I like what he had to say, and don't disagree with his words regarding the changes in the left. However at this point they are definitely for me by far the lesser of 2 evils.

    The blue to red state migration is actually the great replacement theory being put into action by marxists. While the good ole boys are playing with their pistols in the bayous the marxists will be using their pistols by impregnating both the maga and their own woman. In a few short years the magas will be begging for the end of the electoral college!

    Shout out to F5 Dave for the endorsement even though I would make a horrible politician lol

    Unaccompanied,unarmed foreigner in most of those states equals target.

    Friend of mine was living in Ohio at 9/11. Had to do an interstate road trip to collect a bike he'd bought on Craigslist.
    Stopped a couple of times by local VFW armed militia on his way home. Lucky he is white and good'ol boy fat.
    Still says it was the scariest thing he's ever done. Won't go back.

    So, I agree - and then the follow-up: Why is Congress dysfunctional? One could make the argument that it is because of Political Parties (George Washington prescient as ever).

    However, I think there is a deeper fundamental issue - which I will address further below.

    Quote Originally Posted by sugilite View Post

    (apologies for splitting this out - but it felt better to address it this way)

    It is not merely that I like the way he votes, it is that I cannot see any influence upon his positions (legal or otherwise) that have been shifted due to an influx of Cash.

    In order for the claim of corruption to stick - I need to see an instance where he votes against the constitution in favor of someone that has given him money. In 30 plus years plus, a single instance of this is not a high bar or threshold.

    If, in 30 years, you cannot give such an instance where he voted against the constitution in favor of his doners, then that (in-of-itself) is a pretty solid basis for saying he is not corrupt.

    See, I like Joe - there are many issues I disagree with him on (such as UBI) but even on issues I disagree with him on, I find his discussions and the way he entertains ideas to be interesting. I also find the continued attempts to portray him as some extreme right winger to be hilarious.

    So let me be charitable to a degree - you have a point in the first part of your comment.

    Yes, I am guilty of that to a degree - but the to a degree part is exceedingly important.

    You know that I am libertarian to the core. I, in the nicest and most respectful way, do not care how you or anyone else chooses to live their lives. I simply want you (and everyone else) to live their lives as best as they see fit, to live long and prosperous (by whatever means or metric they deem prosperity to be).

    And in return, I want to be left alone to live my life. To enjoy my hobbies in the manner that I see fit.

    Therein lies the issue. There is a group of people that are opposed to this - I am going eschew labels because I think it muddies the water - they believe that they could craft the perfect society if everyone just lived the way that they think people ought to live. They see that any percieved inequity is proof of a grand conspiracy - and as such requires complete and total tyranny to correct.

    I am fundamentally opposed to that idea.

    So when you say I am guilty of it - Yes, I am guilty of being in a distinct and fundamental disagreement on this point. I do not want to live how they wish me to live.

    I am happy to let them live how they want to live, but that is not good enough for them. They use to gifts of liberalism (Free Speech, individual rights etc.) as a Trojan horse to try and force others to live as they see fit.

    There was a battle cry, from GamerGate, that rings true at this point:

    We just wanted to play Video Games
    And so we are at an Impasse. How we solve this - I mean there is a very simple solution - force the people that think they know best to live under the system they believe will work and let it play out - and do it for every generation so that the lesson is never forgotten.

    There are two outcomes here - either it ends in total disaster like it always does and the lesson is learned in pain and suffering or perhaps one day they make it work - and wouldnt that be lovely.

    In short - I am only in a Tribe because each time I try to ignore Politics to live my life as I see fit, Politics has a nasty habit of interferring with my Life, fucking it up and making it worse.

    I am going to end on this point: I would love sincerely and dearly - more than just about anything else on this world - to ignore Politics entirely. To have a Government that respected my rights and freedoms, enforces the laws pertaining to natural rights and stopped social engineering.

    A while back I bought a book explaining this. The people in the most shithole states keep voting for the politicians who presided over their misfortune. It's all done by fear. They are coming for your guns, the county is being over run by illegal immigrants, it's ANTIFA, your kid can go to school a boy and come home a girl without your consent, they're brainwashing your kid with CRT, sharia law is coming, they're killing babies after they are born, and on and on and on. It's all bullshit of course.

    They are constantly told that the USA is the richest country on earth but they have poverty only rarely seen elsewhere in developed countries. They are told about how free they are with the biggest prison population on earth. Actually the USA is not top 10 in freedom. NZ rates higher.

    Republicans regularly refer to the high crime in the big cities but violent crime per head is actually higher in the shit hole states. Louisiana is top from memory but you'll still hear Senator Kennedy banging on about New York or Chicago 'cause his audience wants to believe that.

    It is dangerous, it's predicted that by 2030 70% of the Senate will be elected by 30% of the population. It's not that the 30% know nothing, it's that what they believe is largely fantasy.

    If we go by same metrics why would anyone in NZ want to live outside of the greater Auckland region? Auckland hands down must have highest earnings greater access to other resources and is ranked one of best cities in world.

    There’s more to life than money, some people are happy doing what they are doing.

    Don't know about you guys, but I find Trump's Rubbish Truck photo-op laughable.

    Any real-world worker knows you don't trust anyone who turns up on site in brand-new dayglo vest; with a clean shirt; and shiny shoes not boots. He's wearing a tie and uses cuff-links FFS

    Just more evidence he's a bullshitter, not a worker

    Nah, I don't buy into that kind of scaremongering. The hospital in my home town was once known for treating more gun shot injuries than anywhere in Europe but as long as you kept out of the rough areas it was fine. Same all over the world.

    Have always said I need to go to Albuquerque, no idea why, have only heard of it from the Convoy film, but it is a waypoint on a tentative overland trip from Houston to San Francisco next year.
