Streets of Philadelphia

[Richard Smith]

Hilarious,

From post after post saying a red wave was coming to cheering the complete destruction of the Republican party in less than two months.

That's how democracy actually works.  Instead of acting like socialist sheep playing follow the leader to enrich themselves some politicians have had enough of the corruption and incompetence.  Breaking the status quo hold on power is not easy.  Only Trump has done that in the last hundred years.  The leftist media portrays this in the same idiotic way as yourself.  They try to create the impression that any dissent to the establishment is crazy or an insurrection.  Like a state propaganda arm of the government.  And they have been pretty successful.  Every politician who does not conform without question is deemed a fanatic.  So year after year the corruption and incompetence are passed along but at some point the results matter.

some politicians have had enough of the corruption and incompetence.

Too bad they are some of the most incompetent, corrupt and idiotic ones of the bunch.

Only Trump has done that in the last hundred years.

If that was only remotely true, we wouldn't have this mess right now.

They try to create the impression that any dissent to the establishment is crazy or an insurrection.

In this case it is true, but it doesn't always have to be the case.

Every politician who does not conform without question is deemed a fanatic.

Again, in this case they predominantly are, but that doesn't have to be the case always. It depends on how you go about things. The US is still a democracy and as such majority rules. There will always be fringe groups who disagree and that's fine as long as they try to change the system from within. But as soon as a loud minority (which is what they are) feel that they can tell the majority what to do and start doing all sorts of crazy things like telling lie after lie to the people to get what they want then they are indeed fanatics who should be kept out of office.

When idiots like Gaetz and Boebert don't agree with their own party line, they should leave the party and start one of their own. They won't of course because that way they would never get the support for their wacky ideas or the exposure they get now.

So year after year the corruption and incompetence are passed along but at some point the results matter.

In this case, the result is a party in self-destruct mode, a House of Representative being held hostage and no work being done at all. Wow, and they call that serving the people.

Doing nothing is better than enacting disastrous policies to support endless wars and woke causes to the tune of trillions of dollars.  Not a sustainable policy.  "Europe" and others who have been dependent on US handouts for decades will also eventually have to abandon their socialist policies and start paying their own way - or learn Russian or Chinese.

Than do nothing for two years and see how the voters will feel about that. The status quo only means that current laws remain in place and everything continues as it did, including the "endless wars and woke causes".

What's with this constant "Europe" BS? Do you think that continent isn't real and doesn't exist?

And for what exactly has Europe "been dependent on US handouts for decades"?

will also eventually have to abandon their socialist policies and start paying their own way   

You clearly haven't got a clue what socialism really is or, if you do know what it means, you clearly don't know the first thing about Europe.

The US has paid trillions to defend "Europe" since the end of WWII.  That has allowed "Europe" to create socialist states because the US protects them and pays for their defense from Russia and others.  Contrary to common sense and the interest of US citizens, the US politicians actually want to pay for "Europe's" defense because that allows them access and control billions of dollars each year which they can allocate to the lobbyists who then support their campaigns and enrich their relatives.  A vicious circle of corruption in which everyone benefits except the US taxpayer.

So many words and nothing that makes any sense.

The US has paid trillions to defend "Europe" since the end of WWII.

Really? And how are that "handouts" that European countries depended on?

And of course, none of this this would have had nothing to do with US nukes being placed in European countries to be able to strike faster against the Soviets in defense of the US, right?

That has allowed "Europe" to create socialist states

Which countries in Europe are socialist states?

Contrary to common sense

I don't think common sense has anything to do with what you say..

It doesn't surprise me that someone who allegedly lives in "Europe" is supportive of endless US defense spending to protect their country.  That is an understandable position.  Trump is the only US President in modern history who tried to change that by actually asking the "Europeans" to contribute at least something to their own defense and the US political establishment went nuts.  They want to control the funding and direct it to the corrupt lobbyists who kick it back to them and their relatives.  Almost every politician in a position of power in the US is a multimillionaire despite being a career government employee.  Many of their relatives are multimillionaires.  But nothing to see there.  The good times just keep on rolling for the establishment.  Endless war is big business.  They control the laws and the money.  So things will have to hit rock bottom before there is any change.

It doesn't surprise me that once again you have to make up stuff in order to somehow make an idiotic point! Where exactly did it express support for that?

BS... Trump insisted that each NATO member should actually pay their part in full, which is something that at that moment wasn't happening. NATO doesn't exist exclusively for the protection of Europe. 

You forgot to mention which countries in Europe are socialist, like I asked you to do. Why is that? Can't think of any?
