LOL...you have a better chance at winning the lottery than actually "savagely destroying" anyone! But...lets set that aside. My own personal choice is boring. I'd buy a Jeep Rubicon or something that can go through almost anything, just a tank and then I'd put a lift kid on it, some big old off-road tires and use that to drive around on my land. I'd be doing this for limited use, so while it's not exactly the most expensive vehicle, I wouldn't spend that type of money unless it was no issue. Big 15,000LB winch, Brush Guards, basically a tank. Either that or one of those custom made SXS. An Xpidition I'd do the same with. I don't have much desire for a car. I've driven a family members Mercedes 12L convertible. It was fun, but... I wouldn't want to drive it much. I'm perfectly content with my '24 Tundra Capstone. So maybe a 2025 Tundra or a Rivian if I could get a backup battery put in there. Those things are just SO nice. Nota bout it being an EV, they're just nicer. Give me 1000 Miles and then I can charge it. BUT... I would buy my old man a '70 Chevelle SS 454. He talks about how much he loved that car and given allhe did for me, starting my business, all the sacrificing. It'd also come with a couple hundred acres, 30 of them fenced in, some hores and a massive 'barndiminium,' with a tractor. I'm pretty boring when it comes to this topic. But yeah, mostly just something for my Dad and then my Uncle. Hell, I might just take his Diesel Rubicon and buy him a new one and a SXS for him as he has to walk a few miles each day in the cold to take care the property. That'd be the best part of winning the lottery. Being able to do things for the people who've helped me my whole life...

I'd go back to my larger point. It's lazy and ignorant to try and associate ME with Pol Pot, Mao or other Communists because they fit on a lazy, 19th-20th Euro-centric definition of "right/left," that isn't applicable to American Politics in any real way. But so long as he wants to keep lying and calling me a communist despite the fact that I've repeatedly and vehemently argued for a capitalist Government. So just for starters, you need to have a basic understanding of what constitutes "right," and "left" in a historical context. An Ethnocentric Nationalist...is about as Right Wing as it gets. Above ALL else, that's what Hitler was. But then you look at all the private industry, how he took state run business and privatized it...and if you're argument is, "he was an authoritarian, he told private industry what to do," then... it gets even dumber. As I said, THE UNITED STATES did that, but what's more, you can't argue there's been historically evil leaders or regimes who were far right. Then again, this is the same guy who tried to argue that it was the PROGRESSIVE party that tried to keep slavery/segregation and it was the CONSERVATIVE party that tried to do away with each institution. So he fundamentally doesn't understand what words mean and he'll apparently insecure about his own political beliefs and thinks that if he admits the...painfully obvious, ie, Hitler was the far right, then that is somehow a reflection on him because...he is to the "right" of the American political system. Its such a rudimentary understanding of these meanings, no evidence is going to convince him. It doesn't matter that IBM, Krupp, Volkswagen, Ford(a notorious supporter of NAZI Germany), Bayer, IG Farben... hell, if you take away private industry, the NAZI party is but a shell of itself.

OH...yes, absolutely. That is 100% right. I'm more than prepared to let you take this argument up, but he took a right winger's video that really contorts or just ignores facts and said "watch this." That he's unable to make his own coherent argument without just appealing to someone else's authority, in this case, ironically appeal to someone who has a PHd in a thread in which we're talking about how useless College is was...particularly amusing. But yeah, it's just silly. And resorting to the "he forced private industry to do..." whatever(he did). Well, the United States did the same thing in WWII. We mandated that private industry help the War Effort and manufacture the tanks, vehicles, munitions, all things needed for War. But Hitler does it and now it suddenly changes something? Then lets use the same argument. We were a socialist Nation during WWII(as well as WWI, the Civil War).

I'm not on Tik Tok. Caveier post about someone cashing on "their lies," and all it was was a video saying...we should be less partisan. That was it 47 seconds, less partisan, that's what my book is about. BUT...then it went to the next video... as it does and I found this absolute gem. "What was we ranked Nationally in 1979." Very basic Math...English, soft ball questions that she couldn't even get a piece of!

What are we basing that on?

If we were Switzerland...sure. But we're not, we're the largest economy in the world. Strength through peace is the strongest deterrent. There's also a cascading affect that I suspect many people would find appalling if you cut the Military Budget by 90%. You'd be fine in 2025, 2026, 2027... but slowly, China would pass you up. You'd also have to close bases ALL over the World. the Russians now want to go past the Ukraine, yeah, they can do that. China's debt is now about 300% of their GDP... they'd probably benefit from taking Taiwan and Taiwan Semiconductor, one of the 10 wealthiest companies and one of the 3-4 more important to the future of the Global Economy(and some people who don't understand will read that as "globalist," I'm just saying AI and the manufacturing of the GPUs that enable AI will impact every economy in the world). How about when water starts running out in regions of the world? Who do you think gets that? A peaceful distribution? What if France or actually figures out Fusion? That would change the world and whoever had control of that... it would be a monumental advantage over the rest of the world... I think we should definitely cut the defense spending... but by...~10%, maybe 12%. NOT by 90%. I believe we should pay down our debt and the EASIEST way to do that is to pay MORE to Government employees so you can eliminate Government contractors when it comes to defense spending and the like. This also isn't an area that I've spent much time studying, so it may be easier in theory than in application. Maybe we've now ceded too much power to the Military Industrial Complex. Lower Military Spending, other cuts are needed, higher taxes on the top earners. MASSIVE debt for the United States is not unprecedented... not REALLY doing anything about it, that is.

LOL...no, not a word of that was from ChatGPT. I've used ChatGTP and when I've done so, I've put it in quotes to provides sources, but I didn't need ChatGTP to point out that an Ethnocentric Nationalist is an example of the far right just as I don't need ChatGTP to know that Communism is an example of the far left...or that the traditional dichotomy between historical "Left," and "Right," really isn't at all applicable to American Politics, BUT, if you're eager to play that game, I can play. I also understand that... the people who were trying to KEEP segregation in place were, by definition, conservatives. Those trying to change it, again, by definition, progressives(similar to slavery). That's about as surface level as it gets.

If "Pork" is Fraud, then...NEARLY every single Republican(and...likely Democrat for that matter) is guilty and there is NO bigger source of Fraud than our Defense Budged. There have been years where 434 of the 435 districts have gotten money in the way of Jobs or contracts for existing companies...from the DOD. Why do we think that is? SO THEY KEEP SPENDING. We're going to spend 1T this year(or nearly} on defense spending and Trump wants to increase that. This despite the fact that due to companies like PLTR, defense spending SHOULD be going down(at least leveling out as it takes over quite a few jobs that no longer have to be done by people and makes everything so much more efficient). I also think you go too far with saying 90% is waste, but...we can agree to disagree on that. There's no agreeing to disagree that pork=fraud and then defending the GOP and it's Defense spending.

Good pivot! You pretty much completely abandoned the asinine argument you WERE making... though without admitting you just didn't understand what you were saying in the previous post.

Once again, I'm embarrassed FOR you. Appropriating money that YOU think is pork, but that gets passed by Congress, the Senate and signed by the President...that is not Fraud. And now I'm sure you'll switch accounts, and reply to me, but I think we're accidentally exposing a HUGE part of the problem here. Just the pure ignorance that comes with not understanding what the words you're saying mean.

See! See! This person running for office is talking about lowering health care costs.... so that means they MUST have been for an unregulated and unelected group of people going through the budget with no oversight! LOL...what is the logic or connection to this and DOGE? This is like one of those posts where a Democrats talks about getting rid of Waste or Fraud and then someone like Jimmy or Scout/Caveira SOMEONE think THAT point has long been disputed! If THIS is an example of someone being pro-DOGE, then I guess Democrats(and Republicans for that matter) came up with DOGE...over 100 years ago.

LOL... they'd first point out the INSANELY flawed argument with comparing the "Left and Right" in the United Sates with 20th Century Authoritarian regimes being "right or left," in Europe... LMFAO!!!! That's LITERALLY the EXACT opposite of what you've done! I mean, how you can follow that post up with "Did you watch h the video? You can message the PHd and tell him how stupid he is." You're ONLY using an appeal to authority...ironically talking about a "PHd" while you talk about how indoctrinated College professors are...which is just too much hypocrisy for me! So right THERE, you're not referencing FACTS, you're referencing a person. A person who starts out his video with, 'it's so unfair how the right call us Nazi's, can you tell me how that's wrong,' and then he says, 'yeah, they're mean like that in Germany!' You could NOT articulate what conservative and progressive meant when talking about segregation. You cited as your ONLY reason for...several posts the NAME of the Nazi party, so...I'll assume you believe the Chinese and North Koreans are Republicans? You randomly yelled "HITLER WASN'T A GLOBALIST!" When trying to make a coherent argument as to why a Socialist would arrest...socialists and return State owned property to private industry. You also came up with this...REAL Gem! This... really says it all. But hey, we learned that the Chinese and North Koreans are on the right!

This is going to come down to critical thinking ability and yours started with "National Socialist Party," so he MUST be socialist! This despite an objectively far right ideology behind EVERYTHING Hitler did in trying to build an Ethnocentric Nationalist state of Germany. EVERYTHING he did was in service of that. But lets use your logic; I guess the People's REPUBLIC of China and the Democratic People's REPUBLIC of Korea are both Republican institutions, right? I mean, they have Republic in their names! I guess we've been looking at them all wrong! LOL... maybe defaulting to a classical Nomenclature to default to a superficial "Right/Left" designation is... well...stupid. This entire debate in trying to use American Politics to frame the Nazi's, Lenin...or the guy who YOU think is the biggest threat to Domestic Terrorism, POL POT(I still find that amusing) is inherently flawed as American Political Parties as they exist today, even with the hatred of each other are FAR more similar than they are different. It'd be as if you used a Football Field to contrast the "Left" and "Right." The Democrats would be at about one 49 yard line, the Republicans the other 49 yard line, Lenin would be on the backline of one endzone and Hitler would be on the other, also on the same endzone. But in your limited thinking, you have to resort to 'you left=you=Mao...or Pol Pot,' but where you lose credibility is where you argue...sincerely that there is NOBODY bad on the EXTREME right of that. If you can't even admit that an Ethno-Nationalist who...again, as I said(repeatedly) privatized industry and relied on private industry like Ford, Krupp(particularly Krupp), Volkswagen among numerous others... because you're more fixated on the 'you-democrat-same size as Nazi,' then you're really trying to argue there is NO right wing that is "bad." I once again provide yet another source(while you can post a video because you're unable to articulate your own thoughts). Now, the ONLY reason to deny these are extreme right ideologies is beacuse you simply can't grasp that extemism of any belief system is corrupted and dangerous and only the left is "bad." Oh, you never did answer what the definitions of CONSERVATIVE and PROGRESIVE were for me when you claimed it was the "Left" that tried to argue it was the PROGRESSIVE or LEFT that tried to KEEP segregation... which is really just telling on yourself here. You moved off that quickly as you probably looked for a video and couldn't find one to support your backwards and reductive thought process.

Hey, listen kid, I've cited NUMEROUS experts here. You're wrong, I've proven you were wrong in EVERY possible way one can prove you were wrong and you just keep saying, 'nuh-uh,' and now you're having OTHERS argue your point for you. Again, ETHNOCENTRIC NATIONALISTS who take Public Industry and Privatize it and give it BACK to industrialists... and have MOST of their Military built buy PRIVATE industry...are not socialists... you moron. If you're too stupid to grasp this by now, you're just not going to get it and you'll search the corners of the internet for whoever will support you.

To be fair, @mspartdidn't make an argument on his beliefs, he answered a question if we could kick someone out for any reason. That's not the same as him saying he believes in collective punishment. Seems wise to just wait and see if the Family would have any reason to know what was going to happen.

It's kinda ironic when that happened, we'd spent the day flying the Bin Laden family around and out of the United States. As far as I've seen, @mspartgave his opinion on what COULD happen but isn't celebrating the removal of the wife and these 5 children because...we have no clue their knowledge of events or what was going on. He may have been a ruthless man who treated them horribly.... or the wife may have been in on it. The daughters and just the children, unless we find out that she graduated atop her class just so she could kill Jews, they've done nothing wrong. Just because we CAN do something doesn't mean we SHOULD do it. So... it's pretty cold to be quite so joyous about their removal. What the father did, he should spent his life in a black hole. Not sure the kids should.

You don't really want to do this. How many people who worked for Trump, ran Trump's campaign have themselves been paid by foreign countries without disclosing it? You talking about the family member of an aid to a Governor? Really dude? Aside from Manafort, you have numerous others... you have the top right wing "influencers" like Bennie Johnson(the guy you seem to parrot all the time), Tim Poole...Dave Rubin. Flynn was taking money from whoever would pay him. But...sure, strong point.

No, I did not. Scout said that and I was giving him a chance to explain who he was disagreeing with or what else there was to take away from his post as he insisted there was something else. I didn't try and attribute it to you, I just highlighted the part in question from within the quote you responded to and that's why it says you're quote... but I don't think anyone is confused about who said it.

No, it wasn't. You're just repeating what the guy in the original video blurted out because he heard someone say that.

I'm sorry, maybe... you can clarify. This is a story about 3 girls killed...not in a fit of rage, but in a deliberate and evil manner. You then say "suicide is the most selfish thing, sorry to disagree." What does that mean? Suicide is very selfish. Who you disagreeing with, and given there are at least 3 deaths here(maybe a 4th, we don't know yet) but you chose the words "the MOST selfish," and then inferred you were disagreeing with someone.

It's...incomprehensible. This seems like it was as much to get back at his wife more than anything...but who knows for sure. I hope he's alive and they find him...and he has to live with this every day the rest of his life.

No...killing your 3 little girls...is decidedly more selfish than airing out your grey matter. WTF is wrong with you? Also...incredibly disrespectful to the Military. Lots of guys have PTSD. They don't take their little girls out, zip tie them, put a bag over their head and let them slowly suffocate. And the girls were spread out...over 100 yards away from each other...which suggests to me...they started running when they saw what "dad" was doing to them. Eating a bullet is NOT as selfish as that is. You also constructed this...theory around the idea that he saw combat. I've yet to see anyone say he saw combat. What we know is he was going through a divorce and homeless at the time this happened.

No shot. Musk publicly supported eliminating the EV tax credit before Trump became President. I think Musk is self serving and realizes that if we continue down the path we've been on with regard to the debt, it's going to hurt everyone. I don't like either, but some of this is getting petty. Cutting the SpaceX contracts hurts everyone. This Bill is also going to hurt everyone. And there's not going to be a "68% tax increase" unless this bill goes through. That's...jus ridiculous.

Oh, so now we don't believe anything Trump says? LOL...he's talking about his FEELINGS. I believe he is "very disappointed in Elon." That's not the same as me believing Covid is a "hoax" or that there are "Millions of people over 120 receiving Social Security."

Strange then, given Trump's history Epstein, Acosta and after promising and now with the authority, he hasn't released it. Also strange how he wished Epstein's pimp well. He could just release it and end all doubt and we wouldn't have to just "believe" you and your 'the other side is bad,' argument.
