Re: Socialism running amok!

and McDonalds, Apple, Marlboros, Google, GPS, et al. GPS is a bit socialist, paid for by US taxpayers but used for free by everyone. OK, its primary purpose is for the US military but it's free to all. And now supplanted by Glonass and perhaps soon by a forthcoming Euro-equivalent. Once again, the ...

Re: Socialism running amok!

but thank God for capitalism and Amazon and McDonalds, Apple, Marlboros, Google, GPS, et al. And apple pie, a well known Murricane invention. Without Murrica, we wouldn't have apples or pies. Nor would there be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover. But would mostly still have Iron Crossed Messe...

The RAF should never have re-formed 617 Sqdn and sent them to the USA for training on the F35.

Old habits die hard!

The light finally clicked on.


Well done.

As well as repetitive. You've used this one before.

But then, to expect originality from you is expecting too much.

Perhaps a nice Boone's Farm?

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

It’s quite easy for the folks in power to delete from the population anyone who doesn’t follow the script or otherwise fouls up big time. Just a little food for thought, don’t forget to lock your doors later... :-? One would like to make it clear that this website has no connection whatsoever to ou...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

We, Canadians care, because we know that our lovely neighbors, the Americans would never invade Canada, as it stands today, and wage war against its people. What happened in 1812 was a war against a completely different entity. I have full confidence that brickhistory and BenThere would never consi...

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

BRICK, is there not an unwritten code for incumbent presidents NOT to criticise their predecessors? I think the sufficient number and severity of Chump Tweets against Obama has provoked the latter’s breaking of such a code and therefore Chump can put up or preferably shut up having declared war on ...

+ 1. That was pretty good. But regarding Obama, I've never joined the "they were the epitome of class and grace" brigade. Even in retirement, he can't help but make it about him. The unwritten code of ex-Presidents has been to not criticize your successor. As the incumbent, you expect the profession...

It's not only the US that's ****. The V-shaped recovery, that the Chumpwits imagined would happen, just ain't gonna. The shale oil bubble was always going to burst. It had failure built into it. If it had succeeded momentarily, it was doomed to bust. Samesame the dollar, only on a longer time-scale...

Sen Richard Burr, RINO from NC, stepped down from his chairmanship of the Senate Intel Committee while he's under FBI investigation for insider trading. He sold massive amounts of stocks, as did family members, immediately following his receiving a China virus briefing early in the year. Good. Hope ...

Re: Is anybody else getting fed-up with the childish sniping going on?

I truly marvel at the capacity of the human liver to deal with abuse.

Sadly, it always ends the same way. Sooner rather than later, one suspects (could also say "hopes" but that would be poor form...)

I treasure Dushan as both a friend and compadre in the ongoing struggle. I fervently hope he makes his invaluable contributions here once again. Hear, hear. And regarding "y'all."

Re: The US Hamster Wheel

Obama, Biden, Clinton, et al will never see recrimination for any actions they took, no matter how shady. Sad, but true. What's of practical importance is that some of the minions - Brennan, especially, Comey, especially, McCabe, Powers, Rice - are charged. Otherwise, those following in their footst...
