How can Americans sleep at night while the USA is collapsing?

Soros, Obama, Clinton, and Trump all support endless wars, debt, and tyranny. What's the difference?

Has Trump opposed trade wars, wars with Iraq, Syria, Niger, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Iran, Mexico, China, Russia, and North Korea, driving up the debt, abortion, homosexuality, ending minimum wages, opening concentration camps, banning free speech, religious freedom, freedom from warrantless searches, freedom from torture, security cameras, license plate readers, checkpoints, redlight cameras, speed cameras, FBI facial and voice recognition, curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, the end to the right to silence, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, IMBRA, private prison quotas, no knock raids, take down notices, no fly lists, terror watch lists, Constitution free zones, stop and frisk, 3 strikes laws, kill switches, National Security Letters, DNA databases, kill lists, FBAR, FATCA, Operation Chokepoint, TSA groping, civil forfeiture, CIA torture, NDAA indefinite detention, secret FISA courts, FEMA camps, laws requiring passports for domestic travel, IRS laws denying passports for tax debts, gun and ammo stockpiles, laws outlawing protesting, police militarization, and Jade Helm?
Has Trump arrested the bankers, decreased taxes, kicked out the illegal aliens, ended the Fed, ended the wars, ended welfare, ended Obamacare, and restored the Bill of Rights?

Trump doesn't work for you. He works for the elites.

The time for supporting Trump has ended and the time for buying gold, guns, and food has arrived.

Wake up. Think. Spread the word. Dark times are coming.

does not detract from the truth one iota.

nice try

Nice fake news site!

Importing POOR QUALITY CRAP hurts America in far more ways than paying a few pennies extra for quality American-made items.

ok smart guys ... name ONE business that doesn't pass on costs to the consumer

of course we're paying it

OP is over the target. The usual suspects have arrived with their defelctions

Voting one star doesn't change the truth.

You know the US has become batshit insane today when:

The answer to endless wars is more wars.

The answer to the police state is more tyranny.

The answer to a dead economy is starting a trade war.

The answer to regulations is more laws.

The answer to endless debt is more debt.

and yet you place this under every post

"Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and morally deformed , they will attack you they will slander you, they will seek to destroy your career and your family, they will seek to destroy everything about you ,including your reputation they will lie lie lie, they will do whatever is necessary!"


and then do the exact thing when someone disagrees with the house agenda

TruZt Ze PlanZ™!

Yahoo is fake news!

That is what tarrifs are designed to do. Now if the corporations would move manufacturing back into the country they wouldn't have to pay the tarrif.

yep, 100% fake news??? you really mean fake when i don't agree

and yet our stock market hits record highs weekly.
unemployment at record levels, making all the stuff we dont get from China anymore.life is great here.

yahoo, really?

The people working two jobs to survive aren't making any money in the stock market. Glad your life is so great that you can spend your days fucking around on GLP, not many can.

^^^

the stock market is manipulated, the PPT has been on board for decades. the plunge protection team has unlimited 'funds' to create whatever closing number they want

same with unemployment figures ... no one believed them when obamama was in office but now, suddenly, you can trust government numbers

Confirmed by who? Yahoo? Do you have any other sources?

upon research and reflection I don't believe the 100% figure

but the number sure is heck not 0%

what % of the tariffs do you think is the consumer paying?

All I know is I get more money to keep out of every paycheck and less to pay at tax time under Trump. I live modestly and haven’t noticed a huge spike in any goods I typically buy. So I guess I don’t really care.

for the last three years, what does it feel like. do you
feel poorer?


those talking heads that have been crying for three years
probably invested heavily in communist countries like china.
they have an agenda.

Then why is inflation still low?

What is left out of the 'core inflation' calculation?

Having a new boss won't change anything.

No one is going to work when everything is illegal and taxes pay for curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, checkpoints, forfeiture, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, torture, kill lists, no fly lists, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, and Jade Helm.

The US stock market is a massive Ponzi scheme. There was a time when the stock market was based on reality, but that time is gone.

The stock gains have come from government cash injections and CEO's buying their own companies stocks back using company money to boost share prices and their own personal net worth.

The economy collapsed in 2008 and the government bailed out the bankers instead of arresting them. Nothing has been fixed.

Most people prefer to ignore a hard fact rather than face it.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. There was a bubble in 2001 and 2008. Both times there was a crash. Is this time different?

If debt is good, why doesn't the government print and borrow money to send monthly checks for $500,000 to every American?

The lazy are being sent welfare checks.

94 million Americans are jobless.

[link to www.cnsnews.com]

Wages are flat. Minimum wages are going up only because of government decrees, not because of real free market growth.

Stocks are high only because of QE and the fantasy belief that the government can keep printing money to bail out companies forever.

Interest rates are low because the Fed is afraid to crash the economy and bankrupt the government with higher rates.

Oil prices are low because no one has any money anymore.

The US economy is a house of cards. A large chunk of the hollowed out US economy is basically just consumer, mortgage, student, and auto loans, government deficit spending, overpriced healthcare, and fast food/retail jobs.
How can anyone say the economy is good when wages are flat, corporate profits are falling, spending is falling, sales are falling, orders are falling, jobless claims are rising, gold is rising, stocks are falling, futures are falling, confidence is falling, net worth is falling, inventories are rising, and negative rates are being considered?

The US is headed for a complete economic collapse, a civil war, and WWIII.

Many people are complacent because their government checks are good now and they still have electricity and running water, but there is no doubt the US economy will collapse one day.

No country can print and borrow their way to wealth. Rome, Germany, Zimbabwe, Japan, and Greece couldn't do it.

The US economy might continue for 2 or 5 or 30 years, but one day the house of cards will crash. The US dollar will be worthless, there will be inflation, deflation, banks will shut, bankruptcies and foreclosures will rise, businesses will close, unemployment will soar, there will be bail-ins, capital controls, negative interest rates, riots, bank runs, bank holidays, and gold may be outlawed. Think 1929, 2008, and Greece all in one.

American jobs have been offshored, illegal immigrants are flooding the country, and the US is bankrupt. The government is punishing hard work with taxes and regulations while rewarding laziness with welfare. The government knows this fraud can't continue forever which is why they're building a police state and trying to start wars with Iran, North Korea, Russia, and China to distract Americans and boost the economy.

The world is now in another bubble and governments realize that they cannot print money forever.

The Fed has no more bullets, but the government has real ones.

Think.

Of course they are. That's common sense, it's got to get worse before it gets better. Cheap labor is like heroin to corporations and consumers alike; ask any reformed addict, detox is hell but the alternative is a worse one.

The succor of long life is sober endurance through the suffering of manifest hardships with conscious determination. Common sense.

Wow.

Americans do not understand unintended consequences, know history, or see hypocrisy.

Americans are overjoyed to live in a police state and they will lose their minds if anyone has any freedom.

Americans used to fight Commies and Nazis, but now have become Commies and Nazis.

Americans love living in a police state, but what if a genius who wants to cure cancer can't get a job because he was arrested for depositing less than $10,000 in his bank account?

Americans scream that the police state only applies to others.

Racists are overjoyed that baggy pants are illegal, but then Nazis are shocked when Fascists are arrested for using hate speech.

Americans scream government officials are holy gods, but how does someone know what is best for you?

If the lawmakers say knives must be illegal because they are dangerous does that mean that no one will ever stab you with a knife? If knives were legal, would you use a knife to kill someone?

Would you use crack cocaine if drugs were legal?

Would you have a vested interest in crashing your car if you were not legally required to buy car insurance?

If no one died from drinking sodas 20 years ago then why the fuck does soda need to be illegal now?

If pumping gas is legal in one state then why can't self-service be legal everywhere?

Why can people be allowed to ride motorcycles without a helmet in one state, but not everywhere?

Why can people be allowed to own radar detectors in one state, but not everywhere?

Americans scream declawing cats must be illegal, but Americans are too retarded to understand that cats will need to be killed because no one wants to adopt a cat that destroys furniture and kills birds.

Americans swear that the US shouldn't break up into smaller countries because new nations will print new currencies that will lead to debt.

Americans say there is no TSA groping or NSA wiretapping in Texas.

Americans insist reducing demand and increasing supply of workers will increase wages.

Americans don't care about facts, but Americans will attack the messenger.

Americans say countries with electricity must have high taxes.

Americans scream that the US could never have killing fields because the USA has never had them before.

Americans insist being forced to attend church means freedom.

Americans say anyone who supports freedom should be banned.

Americans scream Canada has a population of 15 million.

Americans swear being dependent on welfare means freedom.

Americans scream Trump will destroy Iran by blocking trade and make the USA wealthy by starting a trade war.

Americans say marijuana must be legal and vaping must be banned.

Americans insist posting articles about tyranny means that you support the police state.

Americans say the world would end if driving while using a mobile phone was legal, but many people do it.

Americans scream 10 year olds should be charged as adults for murder, but then Americans turn around and say 20 years old should not be allowed to smoke, drink, or own a gun.

Why could guns, gambling, prostitution, and drugs be legal 100 years ago, but are now suddenly dangerous?

Do you think that you cannot be killed in a prison?
