Are Slim and Slimmer actually at the courthouse.? They look more like they’re guarding the krap game out back?
And their scam doesn’t require anything except the good will of the American people.

The Great Debate wasn’t. It was noise. I was so glad I has only an aversion to watching and no slightest interest or curiosity.
After Maui, topped off with impending arrest impending arrest of the one and only Trump, the Debate looked like DC swamp porn. Blech.
The only peep I heard of it was on Dallas radio, while sparkling up the range top...
Two guys on 820 AM. Host asks the journalist if he took part in the drink game, last night, to get through the debate last night.
Journalist said, “ l am a professional journalist, so absolutely not. Now after the debate, I tied one on, and woke up on top of the Dallas Book Depository. I dunno how I got there and I don’t care. The worst part was getting down.
I was dying laughing.and so was the host! I guess you had to be there, but when he said the Dallas Book Depository i knew the world of Dallas cracked up!
I mean that journo’s reaction to that squirrelly debate and
the tragedy associated with landing on the the Book Depository building said it all.

It appears that they are carrying H&K UMP40s or 45s with suppressors.
According to Wiki, the Henry County Police Department (just SE of Atlanta) use this weapon. Kinda odd though, not noticing any extra mags anywhere.
I wonder if they have the “pin of the day” on their left pocket.

I believe I mentioned the absurd level debt being taken on in the PRC. Total US Federal Debt as a percentage of GDP is sitting at ~120%. While I would like this to be lower I don't think this is a particular problem. Most of us deal with far more debt in our personal lives. Total all your debt (house, car, whatever) and divide by your annual income. As an aside, total US debt (Federal, state, local, non-financial business and personal) is down from an all time high of 851% in Feb '21 to 761% in July '23. Again, this looks a lot worse than it is.
In 2008 the government debt (national, local, and state owned enterprises)/GDP ratio in the PRC was at 27%. By 2022 it increased to ~72%. The current debt is sitting at ~300%. The bulk of this debt is from local governments.
Local governments are borrowing to finance infrastructure projects to boost the local economy. The national government has restricted local government's ability to borrow so they are turning to off-balance sheet means.
For the past 40 years or so the PRC economy has been driven by national industrialization. The problem with basing a national economy is that you can only do this ONCE. The PRC is seeing a rapidly diminishing rate-of-return on infrastructure. Right now the CCP has to invest about $9.00 to get a $1.00 rise in GDP. In 2013 it was $5.00 and in the 1990s it was ~$3.00 investment to get $1.00 increase.
Cities of empty high-rise buildings with no one living in them are legendary in the PRC. Likewise with train stations with no trains or riders, airports with no planes, and bridges and Interstate highways with little or no traffic that goes nowhere.
What the PRC desperately needs is increased consumption. It is stuck at about 38% of GDP compared to 68% in the US. The problem there is that CCP officials worry, legitimately, that encouraging consumerism might not work (possible) and will lead to diminished control by the CCP (a dead certainty).
