You can con yourself but your own post prove otherwise.
I am rich and powerful because I am content with what I have and I thank God for it. I don't compare myself to others so I don't care what you think of me.


These billionaires are miserable because their whole life is chasing the next $10 billion to try to become the richest person in the world just so they can be remembered for running a company that didn't let their employees go to the bathroom and then they die with $150 billion in assets and it was all for nothing when they could have used half of that money to help Americans and America. So if they don't want to pay taxes at least set up ways to help people with charities for those in need.

People in the CIA and FBI probably only make about $150K a year or less which is middle class in the expensive DC area.

You are fighting the wrong enemy, your own gaslighted mind. Fox News is literally lying to you and hiding Trump's crimes from you and talking about other nonsense while Trump has on Scandal going on with Ukraine, then he doubles down and starts another in Syria with the Kurds and Turks and then Triples down by saying he is going to have the G7 in Doral, and then he yells that the emoluments is falke. Trump hates the law and the Constitution which is all we have to keep a nation that is somewhat free but actually a Plutocracy. Meanwhile Trump thinks Alabama is on the Atlantic Ocean and marks a map with a sharpie and thinks Colorado is on the Mexico border and needs a wall.

Republicans in Congress have no integrity besides a few like Rooney and Romney. It's men acting like children blaming the Constitutional process calling it a Lynching because they know Trump is guilty. Then they lie and say they want it out in the open. They would hate for the American people to hear an Ambassador appointed by Pompeo say that Trump is indeed guilty of a quid pro quo for trying to extort Ukraine into digging up dirt on his opponent.

What's funny is that some would rather have your child or grandchild die than pay an extra $10 a week in taxes to make sure they have coverage for life. Then they defend the billionaires who don't want to pay taxes? why?
uhmm... not a republican. Not a Trump fan either. soooo... Nice try, I guess? But I get it. You have been trained that everything must fit into that neat and tidy "you must be the enemy if your not with me" two party system. Seems like you have the MSNBC facts right though. Good job?

Interesting that a top secret investigation has somehow leaked an opening statement and yet we have none of the testimony for Quid Pro Quo. A convenient leak?

Telling you dude. The elites are the same people in politics, just swapping chairs back and forth.

Btw, Biden called the Clinton impeachment a "lynching" in the late 90's. So tit for tat? Am I doing it right?

Did Bill Clinton call any of the Congressmen who spoke out about him "scum"?

Also The Clinton Impeachment was for morals and not for crimes which is what Trump is being impeached for so yeah saying it's a partisan lynching is wrong but more accurate than Trumps countless crimes in office.

Let me guess you are a Libertarian which is worse than a Republican.

Oh and guess what Biden was wrong to call it a lynching and no Democrat would defend it.

But Lindsey Graham not only defended Trump but agreed with him that it was a lynching.

Ralph et al, if one good thing came out of eight years under the tyranny of the SCOAMF, it is that we were forced to learn the left's playbook … Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, Cloward and Piven, etc. The posters that try to deflect this into a religious argument rather than the discussion about taxation being similar to theft at the point of a gun are just utilizing a variant 'ol Saul's rule #4:
  • Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

This strategy also in use by Mayor Pete, to denigrate right-leaning Christians, if you are paying attention (I know you are).

zero. But we all know how this works as mentioned before:

The masses demand from the billionaires, then demand from the millionaires, then demand of the thousandaires, then demand of the six figure earners, then demand of the middle class, ... it's only a matter of time before they come after your 401k's and IRA's.

"...worse". I guess that is better than anything ending with 'ist or 'phobe which I have learned is apparently popular. Incredibly lazy, but popular.

Parties mean nothing. It's all a show. Until we hold our own accountable there's no point in poking the eye of the one across the aisle. Accountability. Which no one is doing. Everyone is making excuses for their own, and raging about "the other guy". Whataboutism is rampant. The media laps it up churning out five minute increments of outrage to keep you watching. The leadership feeding them all talking points.

This is why it's madness to send them more $$$ or anything of ours. They are not in it for us. They are in it for control and mind share. And they have the guns and secrets to enforce it.

And I actually like you and your posts frequently. Kinda bums me out you are so partisan. Oh well, love ya anyways. Life is truly good.

Oh you mean the Trump's Repugs storming Congress and arguing about the process because they can't argue his crime?

You want to know what Trump's rules are? never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

And so you call every other first world nation a bunch of freeloaders for having Universal Healthcare?

And if our healthcare system is so great why do not other countries want to implement it? Plus they would fight tooth and nail to keep what they have.
Read your post a couple of times, and it really doesn't make sense. Seems like you've combined several of Elizabeth Warren's talking points with some extra adjectives. I particularly noticed your envy of the rich!
Your apparent preoccupation with having others pay for your healthcare is troubling though.
Hope it all works out for you.

I hope the karma of being against universal healthcare does not trouble your family and friends when they are refused care and die.
