Truth. Many sacred cows need to be put on a diet and/or slaughtered.

There is another scary solution that I could see happening. War.

War can bring profit/remove debt. Not the way USA is fighting wars now (or frankly throughout all of its history). Think wars like Ancient Rome or even Nazi Germany.

Wars of conquest/plunder. Take example Iraq in this scenario. Instead of setting up a government and paying for it, we conquer Iraq, rule with our troops, take money from their banks, businesses, etc. Take their oil and use it at no charge, etc.

Roman Republic (somewhat for different reasons) switched like that. Normally they left opponents (like Greece) to their own devices (although they often shrunk some of the powers by breaking them up) and did not initially make them provinces. Over time, their mentality changed (along with their desire to NOT have a King. Something else that I am afraid will happen eventually).

To be frank, if we had a real leader, I don't think he would do well with the American People or Media because he (or she) would push reforms that are NEEDED but won't be popular.

I have been anxiously waiting for a candidate to tell the truth when asked about healthcare in America. “Well ya know. We do need to acknowledge the fact that we are fat fat group of people. We need to stop eating so much Wendy’s, get off the couch, and get some cardio in.”

Leaders tell the truth. Politicians tell people what they want to hear.

I may be naive but I can never see a scenario where we become occupiers and plunder a country we conquered in battle.

If Joe Biden loses the 2024 Presidential Election, and then behaves in the same manner that Donald Trump did from November 4, 2020 to January 6, 2021 ..... then you will have a case.

Joe is not nor will he be physically or mentally capable of behaving in the same manner Trump has, you will no doubt say he’s not behaving the same because he has class or dignity when it’s because he’s an invalid

The brain requires a lot of calories. The bigger the brain the more you burn. Which explains my considerable heft.

Your brain also uses energy to perform normal functions. Although it makes up 2 percent of your body weight, it burns 20 percent of the energy you consume. This metabolic activity is generally consistent, regardless of what you're doing. In fact, your brain burns more energy at rest than a human thigh while running.


I never knew it was that high..just think if we utilized more of our brain. In fact, maybe you hit a new theory..people arent fat because lack of cardio, but because they are lazy brained.

Have seen Andy Beshear’s named being mentioned in the last couple of days. If Democrats were wanting to pivot away from the crazy progressives, Beshear would be a good choice.

And if the repubs would pivot away from the crazy Trumpers, it would be a win for everyone.

you forget about the lies of Russiagate. The toothpaste will never go back in the tube with Dems. Ever.

What?
Are you saying the crazy trumpers are going to control the repub party a tad longer?
That guarantees a win for the dems in '24, but it has an overall negative impact on the country.
Sooner or later, you guys are going to have to move forward.
