They used to joke about how Dan Quayle was so dumb that the number of the Quayle was 665. Biden's so dumb his number is 66squirrel.

No but we are a tin pot dictatorship. Any government that needs 25000 soldiers in the capital to install itself is not a legitimate government.

The globe is going commie, nation states purposely collapsed. Token borders, flags and “sovereignty” but centralized governance. The douchebags at the top of the heap have been vaunting this shit for decades and nobody took them seriously... “nobody has that much power!” Lol.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Of course not. the Democrats aren't communists. Actual communism doesn't exist anywhere on the planet, and never really has. They're fascists. And the convergence of corporate America with federal power is pretty much the definition of fascism. We're witnessing national socialism and governmental/corporate convergence take place right before our eyes. China - which is actually a fascist country, and communist in name only - is the model. To the man on the street, of course, it makes no difference whether you live in a communist totalitarian state or a fascist totalitarian state. Same result for him either way. “Total government. For the people living under it, it doesn’t really matter what you call it. Whether it’s communism, or socialism, or Pharaohism, or Caesarsim...” A rose by any other name...  Attached File |

Strict definitions aside, we are a socialist/communist/fascist/whatever you want to say nation. We are not a Republic. Our leaders are not elected and do not represent the people. |

The sad part is that the Federal agents fighting Antifa in the streets are defending an establishment that is planning on losing and sacrificing them in the process. |

No, we do not have government ownership of commerce/industry, nor the restrictions on private property.
Anyone answering yes needs to read up on what actual communism means. What the left is trying to create is something new, an authoritarian / socialist construct with an identity/ethnicity hierarchy that defies conventional definitions. The world hasn't seen it implemented before, but that doesn't mean it's not really bad news. |

Either people step forward, step out of line, and actually do something or the next (honest) battle cry should be "We didn't do shit so my children can either suffer through the staggering consequences of our inaction or they can fight a fight that we coward out of." When Trump signed an EO to help this country it got challenged and spent years in litigation. Now the communist stooge is happily signing off and slobbering on stacks of them and every one deteriorates this country and our culture. And none of them help your average American. Biden doesn't even know what he is signing and its unlikely any will be challenged in court. The shocking transmogrification to absolute communism is well under way. And its just a matter of time before the communists put commerce/industry and private property on their dinner plate. All the pieces for this are falling into place rapidly. This is the hallmark of communism: a puppet installed as president through a rigged and illegitimate election. Not sure why so many can't see this. I think a lot of folks are in denial. |
