Stages of decline....devaluation...

Posted on 07/11/2019 2:26:25 PM PDT by GraceG

First...they devalue the representation of the states / provinces by taking away the right of star governments to be represented on the federal level.

Then they devalue the money by basing it off nothing but thin air...

Then they devaule citizenship by treating illegal Invaders better than citizens, even counting them to determine apportionment....

Then it all collapses....

What is a “star government?”

“It’s a ‘republic’, if you can keep it.” (attributed to Ben Franklin)

We all are guilty to a degree of “patriotic laziness”

Trump is a speedbump. This isn’t going to stop or turn around.

What a bunch of miserable #$#$ING ATTITUDES on this board sometimes :)

Let Trump decide what he is.

Typing is easy. That’s why I do it instead of get heavily involved :)

He DID IT and he IS doing it and he WONT the election so before crying in our coffee and handing the keys over to the Chinese, give him his 6 more years.

And then we can all whine like bitches and get drunk every night :)

Yes. And as much as I despise G.W. Bush, I voted for him knowing he was a speed bump too.

Bush was a pebble. The tire didn’t even notice.
At least Trump has enough oomph to shake the car around and wake people up.

Peak civilization past? What will we tell our kids and grandkids?

DEPOPULATE collectivists, criminals, Clintons, dirtbags, d’rats, deceivers, gropers, grifters, liars, lunatics, looters, marxists, morons, mohammedans, non-Americans, npcers, progressives, punks, socialists, scumbags, tyrants, totalitarians, etc., etc. from the body politic. Pay attention then...

live -free - republic

No it won’t, and it’s why he should, after reelection, appeal to the sovereign people for an Article V COS.

Like General Washington, Donald Trump didn’t come up through party ranks and didn’t owe anything to anyone when he took the oath of office.

Being without political baggage and with incredible wealth before assuming office freaks out the Swamp PDJT promised to drain. Who today could possibly step up and replace him in few years?

After President Trump.

Oh, we are way below the “bread and circus” level of government and civilization. And continue to speed even faster through graft, greed, sloth, in your face sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

It was meant to be a tool of last resort(like, RIGHT NOW), but the ignorance is too great.
We can’t even get people on our own side to understand it.
I don’t see it ever gaining a foothold anymore.

I just posted this comment on a Census-question thread, but it seems relevant here:

If the government does not use its legitimate force to bring justice in the face of all this corruption - the people will likely be compelled to "use force" themselves. In other words, law and civil order will eventually break down. I hope Trump knows this. We don't want a civil war in this country - it's up to the GOVERNMENT, RIGHT NOW, to start acting responsibly and arrest/ jail some people, or it will be left to us - and things will spiral out of control, I fear......

Let's hope some serious Law Enforcement "actions" happen regarding abuse of Intelligence Agencies' power and abuse of immigration policies ("sanctuary" cities) in the next 12 months.

Things are getting very bad. I hope Trump and Barr know this.

The top 20% have fat 401K so they are only Patriots to a degree. They will not rock the boat like a true Patriot needs to when the time comes.

I look at it the opposite where things HAVE ALREADY spiraled out of control and a secession or insurrection would be a positive step.

I think the Left wants that - it would cause us to weaken internally, and a foreign entity (China? Russia?) would be that much more emboldened ,to move in... :(
