Time to repeal the 17th Amendment... it is the foundation of the modern Uni-Party
This is why the federal agencies bought all that ammo.
“Remember, revolution is a scary term. It implies violence; it implies open rebellion ...”; it implies blood, a lot of it.
I agree with what this writer said, I do not, however, agree with violence....
But having said that, Our Country has always fought for the right of the Country, it’s freedoms...
Trump has brought to the fore front of what is wrong with Our Country, and we as Americans are tired of it...we are tired of being lied to, called names like ‘stupid’ and ‘crazies’ this is why Trump calls people this, he’s tired of hearing it also...we have been kicked in the corner, stomped on, bled dry of our dreams, and for what? So ‘Wall Street’ can make elected people rich? It isn’t their Country, it’s the blue collar worker, the plumbers, the construction workers, the street pavers, the police, the firemen, the people that keep Our Country going, then we see the people we elect tell us they’ll change, and they don’t, but we have to, we have to work 2-3 jobs a day to pay the mortage, to put food on our tables for our families, they don’t have to worry about it....
But you know what, there is going to come a day when our Stock Market crashes, and all those millions of dollars that our elected politicians have are not going to help them any more than it’s helping us right now, their millions will be worthless and they will be out on the street like the rest of us....
GO. TRUMP. GO!!!
if i was a career politician, i’d get out now while the gettin’ is good.
I didn’t know Joe was a Tea Party conservative? I guess he needs to do something between Eagles tours.

I just love getting the fund raising calls from the RNC and the Republican Senatorial Committee. I used to ignore those calls, but it is just too much fun now to tell them “no”. Then they sort of argue with me. Then I tell them I give to individual candidates, not funds like theirs. Then they ask if I want to see the democrats take back the house and the senate. Then I tell them that I can’t tell the difference now as it is. Then they tell me to have a nice day.
It is ALWAYS the same conversation. I almost feel sorry for the caller. I’ve been on the other end of the phone before, so I don’t get nasty. I applaud them for their courage.
I’ve been in revolution mode for over twenty years, here on FR I stand with a multitude of others, but in my neighborhood, town and state, I pretty much stand alone, sure there are others scattered around but that is the problem we are scattered, disorganized, lack leadership, we think we can reason and talk our way out of this mess, maybe we can vote our way out but how long have we been trying to do that only for it to get worse, we are frustrated to the point where we fight each other more ferociously than we do the enemy, then wonder why we are losing to a community organizer.
Feel free to tell me how wrong my thinking is, I am used to it.
So the fall for a would-be autocrat because he makes vague and flexible promises to fix it?
The Great Depression: An Introduction
The New Deal: A Brief Overview
The Stock Market Crash of October 1929
In late October 1929 the stock market crashed, wiping out 40 percent of the paper values of common stock. When the stock market crashed in 1929, it didnât happen on a single day. Instead, the stock market continued to plummet over the course of a few days setting in motion one of the most devastating periods in the history of the United States.
The most significant events started on Black Thursday, October 24, 1929. On that day, nearly 13 million shares of stock were traded. It was a record number of stock trades for the U.S. J.P. Morgan and a few other bankers attempted to bail out the banking system using their own money. They were unsuccessful. Their move led to a slight increase in stock price on Saturday, October 26. But over the weekend many investors lost faith in the stocks and decided to sell their shares.
When the markets reopened on Monday, October 28, 1929, another record number of stocks were traded and the stock market declined more than 22%. The situation worsened yet again on the infamous Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, when more than 16 million stocks were traded. The stock market ultimately lost $14 billion that day.
The stock market crash crippled the American economy because not only had individual investors put their money into stocks, so did businesses. When the stock market crashed, businesses lost their money. Consumers also lost their money because many banks had invested their money without their permission or knowledge.
Even after the stock market collapse, however, politicians and industry leaders continued to issue optimistic predictions for the nationâs economy. But the Depression deepened, confidence evaporated and many lost their life savings. By 1933 the value of stock on the New York Stock Exchange was less than a fifth of what it had been at its peak in 1929. Business houses closed their doors, factories shut down and banks failed. Farm income fell some 50 percent. By 1932 approximately one out of every four Americans was unemployed. According to historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. the most critical reasons for this economic collapse can be summarized as:
1) Managementâs disposition to maintain prices and inflate profits while holding down wages and raw material prices meant that workers and farmers were denied the benefits of increases in their own productivity. The consequence was the relative decline of mass purchasing power. As goods flowed out of the expanding capital plant in ever greater quantities, there was proportionately less and less cash in the hands of buyers to carry the goods off the market. The pattern of income distribution, in short, was incapable of long maintaining prosperity.2) Seven years of fixed capital investment at high rates had âoverbuiltâ productive capacity (in terms of existing capacity to consume) and had thus saturated the economy. The slackening of the automotive and building industries was symptomatic. The existing rate of capital formation could not be sustained without different governmental policies â policies aimed not at helping those who had money to accumulate more but at transferring money from those who were letting it stagnate in savings to those who would spend it.3) The sucking off into profits and dividends of the gains of technology meant the tendency to use excess money for speculation, transforming the Stock Exchange from a securities market into a gaming-house.4) The stock market crash completed the debacle. After Black Thursday, what rule was safe except Sauve qui peut? And businessmen, in trying to save themselves, could only wreck their system; in trying to avoid the worst, they rendered the worst inevitable. By shattering confidence, the crash knocked out any hope of automatic recovery.5) In sum, the federal government had encouraged tax policies that contributed to over-saving, monetary policies that were expansive when prices were rising and deflationary when prices began to fall, tariff policies that left foreign loans as the only prop for the export trade, and policies toward monopoly which fostered economic concentration, introduced rigidity into the markets and anaesthetized the price system. Representing the businessmen, the federal government had ignored the dangerous imbalance between farm and business income, between the increase in wages and the increase in productivity. Representing the financiers, it had ignored irresponsible practices in the securities market. Representing the bankers, it had ignored the weight of private debt and the profound structural weaknesses in the banking and financial system. Seeing all problems from the viewpoint of business, it had mistaken the class interest for the national interest. The result was both class and national disaster.
A secession of many States would be the best thing right now. Most workable solution.
We see all over the world how fragile civilization is. If we don't put up barriers, assimilate US citizens and send non-citizens back home, and clean out the DC and judicial sewer, nothing's going to stop our self-destruction as a civilization.

Uh-oh.... here comes a flock of wah-wah’s.
