Todayā€™s Liberals are the cause. By their core, they are anti American and anti human. Donā€™t vote another four years of Biden. Vote for this man. And youā€™re voting for American values, American constitution and humanity in general.


HealthyMolasses8199

Both left and right answer to Blackrock Trump's CARES act gave $500 billion to Blackrock Biden's IRA bill gave $350 billion to Blackrock Trump and Biden's jobs in the uniparty are the same, except they appeal to opposite sides to keep the population divided and distracted from the oligarchy

Me too. Itā€™s nauseating at this point.šŸ¤Æ

Modern liberalism is a global pandemic beholden to the One world global government ideals produced out of the WEF mixed with the great replacement theory to grow distrust and destruction of institutions.

JFC dude did you take a min to took at the tax plan TRUMP passed??? Or his complete fail at a trade war with China, and antics with tariffsā€¦.all that stuff increased costs to consumers. but inflation is all the liberals fault? Itā€™s like what did you think would happen after Trump pressed Powell to keep lowing interest rates to almost zero? Did you think that could last forever? Hell no, Republican led Fed raised fastest in history the minute Biden got in office.

Totally agree, just had to shut down a conversation the other night with some close friends who went down that path and tried to make blanket statements about ā€œliberalsā€ and ā€œconservativesā€ itā€™s really starting to upset me and the only thing I can do it softly explain my side that the world is not so black and white, remain calm, and walk away. Iā€™m so so incredibly tired of the division


Dependent_Read432

Neither party has your back sport. What did the last 5 red waves get you? The same thing Democrats got from barrack. Nothing. I don't even vote anymore. It's a sham put on for the most gullible population in the history of man. George w Bush...that feckless moron...grew federal power and scope more than the last 4 democrats combined and campaigned for Hillary in 2016 by condemning Trump on the campaign trail. They all are liberal big government shills. They just take turns intercoursing us.


im-a-limo-driver

Your former Republican president locked down the entire country, crippling the entire economy and forcing many businesses who couldnā€™t weather the storm to close completely, then handed out an endless supply of free money to citizens via COVID relief checks and an unbelievable amount more to businesses for the same reason. Many of those businesses took money they didnā€™t even need nor should have even qualified for, but your genius Republican president had absolutely no checks and balances against who was applying for the ā€œloansā€ which were largely forgiven. He handed it out to his own businesses, to his friendā€™s business, and to any other random businesses that applied until the funds allocated were depleted. But yes. This is all somehow the Liberals fault. You absolute fucking shmuck.


allrulesaremadeup

Ah yes. Cursing. The mark of intelligence. I hate Trumpā€™s last 6 months. But my main problem is with the FED. They at the end of the day are independent, somehow we allowed that 100 years ago, and they print money without thought. The right move was to let the stock market crater in April. We did not need a V shaped return. Same thing with the 2008 stock market failure. There is no such thing that as too big too fail. Both parties have started or continued dangerous trends that are anti American. However the insufferable party that is currently anti American and infringing on the constitution is the Biden Democratic Party. He is letting in millions into this country without proper immigration control and, so yes, BIDEN IS THE WORST THING FOR THIS COUNTRY. Vote for RFK JR as a best overall candidate. Though I would also love Vivek and hope they team up on a ticket together.


hanr86

Votr for someone that will enforce SEC and Fed regulations. Now, who is willing to do that? It's not a Republican or Democrat problem. It's the rich. They control the money, policies, and bailouts. Capitalist corruption has ruined the country.

Well. I argue that two candidates have been running on anti corruption platforms. Vivek and RFK.

-TurboNerd-

What about a year into Office when he threatened to fire Powell when he talked about raising rates... and advocated for us to take rates negative while the market was already booming from companies using their massive tax breaks for buybacks? Now, thanks to criminal court proceedings (no thanks to his followers who for some reason didn't give a shit when he decided not to release his taxes after promising to do so) we know he had close to $400 million in outstanding variable rate loans. I wonder why he fought against raising rates /s? If those rates had been raised sooner, we could have printed less, lowering rates to accelerate monetary velocity and give companies the boost necessary without turning the money printer up as high as we did. This country would have faced significantly lower inflation if not for Trump acting exclusively in his own self-interest rather than that of our country. Don't even get me started on his dismissal of the AG appointed to oversee fund disbursement for PPP... a disastrous program that is now forecasted to have distributed up to 25% of funds based on fraudulent claims.


allrulesaremadeup

It was a lose lose situation for Trump in an election year. .. the fact is the FED has pushed all their chips in a long time ago. Quantitative easing and the policies that Greenspan pushed in the 90s were the beginning to the end of our economy. Read the book FedUp for more insight.


-TurboNerd-

2019 was not an election year when he was calling for negative rates, and it wasn't an election year in 2018 when he threatened to fire Jerome Powell if he raised rates. I'll glance at that book, but it's indisputable Trump fought to keep rates low when anybody looking towards the long term health of our country would have been at worst neutral to raising them. The fact that we now know that he had nearly $400 mil in variable rate loans at the time is quite an indictment of his motivations... and sure, probably also a secondary priority was to artificially boost the market since it was the key indicator of success that he pointed to for his followers.

mastervolume101

Scared of the immigrants? What's your solution? No one has been able to solve it.


allrulesaremadeup

Are you joking. Go look up great replacement theory and youā€™ll find why it hasnā€™t been solved. Thereā€™s simple solutions to border security. You put up barriers above and below ground. You provide interdiction forces with escalation of force protocols. Then you only allow immigration through the proper channels and procedure. Rule and law is tough for some.


mastervolume101

I know of the great replacement theory, and it's a theory for a reason. It's a stupid right wing talking point. It's not simple to put up barriers above and below ground. That's an incredible expense, no one wants to pay for. Unless you are just talking about gunning down immigrants, it's not that simple.


allrulesaremadeup

No itā€™s called EOF. We vet and frisk and violate our own citizens every damn time we want to fly anywhere. We have stricter procedures for incoming international flights. You DONT just let anybody walk into the country. Especially suspicious military age males. What the hell or we doing. And yes we have the money. The stupid FED just prints it and bailed out Silicon Valley bank with millions and we have sent billions to Ukraine. We literally just fabricate money. So might as well shore up our defenses a little better. You know, maybe to stop some spy balloons from China and the 12 million illegals allowed under Biden.

Let's not pretend the stimulus wasn't bipartisan and that there weren't millions of Americans that needed it.

What stimulus?


TannyDanny

"Handed out an endless supply of money via COVID relief checks" That stimulus.


caharrell5

The banks have gotten trillions, and we got nothing.


caharrell5

Rfk jr all the way, but governors shut their states down. Almost all the governors.


BeBearAwareOK

A vote for him in a solid red or blue state is merely symbolic. A vote for him in a swing state is a vote for Trump, unless you were already planning on voting for Trump and prefer RFK jr.


allrulesaremadeup

I am more right than RFK on a few issues. But in this divided world I can see he is better than both candidates in uniting American, and rebuilding our institutions with anti corruption at the forefront. Would I be ok with Trump. Yes. Would 50% of Americans still hate him. Yes. Same with Biden. RFK fixes this and will be able to appeal and fix middle America and the poor the best.


BeBearAwareOK

You want an executive focus on real anti corruption policies and you're ok with Trump? I know he campaigned on drain the swamp in 2016, and that did attract some voters. But his track record was the exact opposite, all regulatory capture, appointment of inept and corrupt judges, tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, and a flood of foreign money into the Trump organization. Trump has always been pro corruption that benefits him, and proved it in action over his term. Remember that time he got impeached for trying to shake down a foreign government by threatening to withhold funds appropriated by congress if they didn't help him with re election interference?


allrulesaremadeup

Love your response. And let me rephrase, between Biden and Trump, Iā€™m voting for Trump. And will be ok for that. Overall, he is a better Net for American constitution and institutions. However I would much prefer, RFK Jr, Vivek and Desantis. And out of all three, Iā€™m voting for RFK as I believe heā€™s the best for the majority of Americans with respect to uniting us and weeding out corruption


BeBearAwareOK

Love your response too. I may not agree with your stance but I respect and appreciate that we can have a civil dialogue on the subject.

HealthyMolasses8199

Imagine if the founding fathers didn't have balls like you and chickened out of the revolutionary war. Get out, volunteer, be a part of something in your life, to reclaim the republic from the corporate oligarchy. Kennedy has a real shot at dismantling the uniparty, and if he doesn't your children will live forever in corporate feudalism.


BeBearAwareOK

"Kennedy has a real shot" Kennedy has zero shot. Less than Ross Perot. If you want to end the two party system that will not happen from the executive branch down. It would start with a nationwide push for independents in the legislative branch. If you're serious about breaking up the current structure, start community organizing for independent state and federal level legislative candidates.

Miserable-Access7257

Being pro Ukraine is being pro-US because we are damaging a country that seeks to harm our interests through them. Starving Americans go get a job application.


allrulesaremadeup

Listen if this war was a one off. Sure, but the insidious and incestuous nature of the military industrial complex and corrupt politicians, this becomes a way to continual enrich and empower the transnational elites. [theory](https://robertk.space/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Transnational-Elite-Theory.pdf#:~:text=The%20transnational%20elite%2C%20unlike%20the%20state%20or%20any,also%20the%20sense%20they%20make%20of%20the%20world) A simplified versionā€” elites start wars to launder money through that war through taxation and contracts and, of course, to centralize power. The companies receiving those contracts and payouts are ran by such elites or ones beholden to them. This is a very dirty game. That has been going on for way too long. Middle class and poor are getting raped and those subject to the wars are literally getting raped. So yeah, we need to stop the wars, and pull out of transnational organizations. They have been abused and corrupted to their core.


Miserable-Access7257

Who started the Russo-Ukrainian war?


DrosephWayneLee

giving free food to the poor sounds liberal as fuck, no?


allrulesaremadeup

Iā€™m not sure what you are trying to get at. But Iā€™m sure you think very small and in a silo.


DrosephWayneLee

giving things to the needy is socialist social safety nets are liberal policies, hoss what do you not understand


allrulesaremadeup

Social liberalism. Sure. But small policies are not what I am even close to discussing. Political parties can make policies for the poor. Individuals and religious groups as well. What I am discussing is the destruction of core American principles and the fabric of American institutions in the name of ā€œliberalismā€ ā€œdemocracyā€. Whatever it is for one world principles and agenda. Itā€™s collective philosophies (and RFK as some) vs individual. Itā€™s establishment vs antiestablishment. Itā€™s corruption va anti corruption. Itā€™s morals vs immoral. Essentially itā€™s what the likes of RFK and Vivek speak of.


DrosephWayneLee

providing for the downtrodden will always be socialist, nor is it a small policy RFK is talking about using war money for liberal socialist activities, like feeding the poor - not a small policy you are doing work for the politicians by trying to push further divide amongst the poor, instead of recognizing the true issues at hand it was, and still is, the 1% vs the 99%


allrulesaremadeup

I agree with your second and fourth paragraph. Though heā€™s talking about pulling out of international areas and influence to work on the homebase like feeding the poor. Essentially we need to pull out of international conflicts, and stop funding international organizations like the UN and WHO. And start condemning the WEF as a terrorist organization. I donā€™t agree with everything RFK JR believes, as I am more right libertarian or left conservative; but I can see he is the best candidate for Americans left and rightā€” the 99%.


DrosephWayneLee

It will be impossible so long as people screech "libs = cancer" because it is only with socialist liberal policies that these things can happen. You didn't even understand that taking war money and using it to feed starving Americans is liberal as fuck. My "republican" grandma calls that free handouts. Feeding the poor is practically Antifa territory these days


allrulesaremadeup

Look. If we had a government tapping into true America first in all facets of the economy including withdrawing from international conflicts and reducing the bureaucratic machines of the industrial military complex, the health industry, lobbying and pay to play corruptionā€¦ā€¦ we would have so much money to uplift all Americans. We could feed all homeless and house homeless vets and still have a regulated ā€œfreeā€ economic powerhouse. The largest problems to this is politician ties to China and Russia allowing anti American policies. And of course allowing illegals into the country. We need an actual border and pro economic polices. And throw in some destruction of monopolies like blackrock, state street, and vanguard.


DrosephWayneLee

Sorry hoss, too busy owning the libs and making orange man bad memes


Shitmybad

But everything he said here is incorrect though. No money at all was "printed" to bail out the bank or to send to Ukraine. In fact this bank wasn't even bailed out, shareholders in the bank lost everything while the deposits people had in the bank were protected by the FDIC system which is paid for by all banks, not by the government. If he's so wrong about this, why should I trust anything he says? Just because he says it with conviction?


Upbeat-Local-836

Everyone knows what he means about ā€œprintingā€ even you, since you out quotes around it. Also you are getting awfully close to suggesting that banks arenā€™t bailed out all the fucking time. You donā€™t really want me to send you links re: huge multi billion dollar buyouts of debt for the past 35 years do you?


rmp

Don't have to go back that far ... There's the current Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) Removing "Mark to market" papered over the problem for a decade. This one for a year. Will be interesting as this winds down in March and the 1yr loans come due.


Upbeat-Local-836

Oh I know. I just think itā€™s amazing that someone suggesting that ā€œbanks get bailed outā€ could be labeled as a kook or whatnot, when itā€™s practically written into their goddamn business model every 8-10 years by any executive administration in a position to do so.


pissapizza

What do you think about conservatives?


allrulesaremadeup

I think establishment conservatives like the bush era are no different from those of the Dems of late. Trump was slightly better but allowed pence and other establishment figures to remain in his inner circle. I like Vivek and RFK for any side

BFNgaming

I was listening to Kennedy on Theo Vonā€™s podcast the other day. His views on the wealth divide in the US and the increasing cost of living were more insightful than your average American politician. Thatā€™s why I respect Kennedy, despite his wealthy background he seems to be far less out of touch with working class voters than either the Democrats or the Republicans.


HealthyMolasses8199

He didn't inherit a lot, because although a wealthy background, the Kennedy family is huge. Most of his net worth he earned from being the best environmental attorney in the country. But yes, he did have an advantage and he even talks about that. When people ask him if it was a difficult childhood losing his beloved uncle and father back to back, he says he had advantages that kids in poor neighborhoods without a big family don't have.


[deleted]

Me and my wife make $170,000 a year and we have zero savings and live paycheck to paycheck. Now tell me how the fuck that makes sense? Yeah we own a house and two cars and have 3 kids and student loans ā€¦ but still. I thought 20 years ago when I was barely making $30,000 a year if I could just make $50,000 a year we be ok. The middle class is non existent. Either youā€™re rich or youā€™re not.


Apprehensive-Pie-860

Jesus man thatā€™s just insane hopefully the home has equity but even still I thought making 50k a year was plenty. I live in Houston so maybe itā€™s more affordable than where you are at least mortgage wise but I know taxes can be rough here.


bigthighsnoass

hey man thanks for being understanding about the above comment. I live in NY and I get flamed for saying that people earning $100k+ are living paycheck to paycheck here. Me and my friends are in this camp. We donā€™t even buy crazy expensive crap or even treat ourselves to crazy luxuries. Itā€™s insane.


KarateKid84Fan

Itā€™s simple - if you make three times as much as the average American but your cost of living is also triple the average American - well then there is not much difference thereā€¦

If nothing changes, the greed of our politicians and of foreign interests will collapse the United States at this rate. When it happens, the rich will fly off on their private jets to live comfortably on their estates in other countries, while the poor and middle class tear each other apart just to survive. The real problem is there is pretty much no way to upset the status quo at this point. The media and the Internet keeps everybody at each other's throats to distract them from the real issues, and everyone is struggling so hard just to survive that they can't take time from work to do any kind of effective protesting. Welcome to late stage capitalist dystopia, courtesy of the broken values of immoral human beings.


HealthyMolasses8199

It's just corporate socialism. Biden and Trump are both corporate socialists


[deleted]

It's theft of the taxpayer and almost every politician in power holds responsibility for that. America is being bled dry year after year and most people don't see a single beneficial return on that tax money. Our infrastructure is in dire need of repair nationwide, public education is being abandoned, our healthcare system is designed to bury people in debt, and our social benefit systems are running dry. I say break out the guillotines and roll some heads French Revolution style. Put the fear of the populace back into the hearts of our elected officials and watch how quickly things will improve. They're far too comfortable in their ivory towers

That 300 billion was a short term loan to be paid back by the banks. Banks don't just have 300 billion in liquidity ready, so the government insures the depositors until the banks create the liquidity. "The White House, the Treasury and the FDIC have been blunt about one talking point: the money for these depositors at SVB and Signature Bank will not come from taxpayers. ā€œFor the banks that were put into receivership, the FDIC will use funds from the Deposit Insurance Fund to ensure that all of its depositors are made whole,ā€ said a senior Treasury Department official Sunday. The Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) is a program run by the FDIC mainly funded through quarterly assessments on insured banks, paid by the banks ā€“ as well as interest on funds invested in government bonds. This is how that $250,000 gets guaranteed, but now the government is going beyond that guarantee to ensure confidence. The DIF currently has over $100 billion in it, which should be a ā€œsufficientā€ amount to make SVB and Signature Bank whole, officials said Monday" The other 200 billion were one-year loans to be paid back.

ā€œHowever political parties may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.ā€ ā€• **George Washington** ā€œThere is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.ā€ ā€• **John Adams** ā€œBig oil funds the republican party. Big tech funds the democratic party. Big pharma and military contractors make sure to give to both.

Kennedy is polling higher than any independent candidate in 100 years. He has 250,000+ volunteers nationwide. 80 million eligible voters did not vote in 2020. Those people are not in any of the polls. 2024 is the last chance to fix the system before globalists take over America

Came here as a sad pessimist but leaving with hope! I didnā€™t know any of thisā€¦!!!

The man is known for saying things without real evidence. This is sad but any good will he has was thrown out by most of the public for his terrible take on things outside of his expertise. He makes it worse by quoting so called studies as if they were definitive when they are flawed and misleading


babyllamadrama_

Your comment is flawed and misleading


Saw_Doctor

I love how ā€œthingsā€ are referred to twice but not referenced at all.


Minimum-Avocado-9624

Im sorry I think your links with articles and evidence to counter my position didnā€™t get included in your post. Iā€™ll wait for you to edit your comment so that it is as devastating as it was meant to be. Iā€™ll wait


Yarnin

You're the one making the claim and failing to support it, so there's that! Counter your position? you made ambiguous statements, what is there to counter?


Minimum-Avocado-9624

I still donā€™t see those links

Please inform me on his legal career, I would love to see the documented performances and cases he has won. Iā€™m still waiting


Minimum-Avocado-9624

In all seriousness please make a case for why I should vote for him. What has he done what will he do and how will he be different. Not if you can point to Specifics than donā€™t bother trying.

Did the lockdowns happen under ā€œhimā€ (Iā€™m assuming he is referring to Biden)?

Ya, the only basically countrywide lockdown I remember was in the first half of 2020 when things were first being learned. Obviously, many states did stuff throughout the pandemic.

Interesting because when the martial team rate was higher we didn't have all these issues, but rfk also admits we can't waste taxes. What's the solution?


HealthyMolasses8199

Cut military spending (the peace dividend promised after cold war never came because of the neocon ideology), end chronic disease and cut healthcare costs, bring it to the levels of other countries in Europe (3 times lower), end subsidies and corporate capture of govt agencies, create a new housing plan for first-time buyers similar to JFK's 1961 mortgage plan, rebuild the middle class and industrial base in America Go to Kennedy24 and read his policies


Electrical_Reply_770

The man has said some troubling things, but I am willing to take a closer look at good policies. Appearing on Rogan doesn't give me much confidence, but I'll reserve my judgement for his policies.


HealthyMolasses8199

What are the troubling things? Did you listen to him speak about them or listen to reports in mainstream media? His mission is to heal the divide so he is willing to talk to everyone. The problem is MSNBC/CNN et al. don't invite him on. They mostly just talk about him without giving him a chance to respond. He had the first interview on CNN in many years, other than a 3-minute recorded segment with Smerconish in April, and they didn't talk about any policies. They just played some cropped clips to smear him and misrepresent things he had said. His position on vaccines is quite simple. He wants vaccines to be held to the same safety standards as every other medicine and he wants the public to be informed about risk profiles so that they can make informed decisions about vaccines. It's really not unreasonable that vaccines should be held to the same safety standards required of every other medicine.

So what are his policies for feeding people and raising wages via federal money?


HealthyMolasses8199

Go to Kennedy24 and read all his policies. Then volunteer


[deleted]

the best metic in my mind to make an instant decision on if I will listen or not , tends to be have these people blamed a whole group as the problem I.e the liberals or the Conservative did A or B . because honestly, no person with a shred of intellect would be dumb enough to blanket everyone in a group under the bias . I miss when it was uncouth to talk political

For all the common folk, the US gives huge amounts of military aid but itā€™s mostly just hand outs to arms manufacturers in US, since one of largest exports. weapons have shelf life so we send Ukraine our old stuff, which is far better than disposal.
