Explain it to me then... and maybe try to keep it within a thousand words.

The whole world has a lot to lose when the United States "screws up," but they also have a lot to gain, which is why wealthy foreign organizations and individuals are always trying to manipulate it. You manipulate the United States, and you manipulate the entire world. But eventually people get tired of being manipulated, and the country will lose its power as people pull away from what makes the United States powerful... our economy.

The whole point is that the U.S. gets manipulated by oligarchs and foreign governments, which in turn manipulates the world. WHO then in turn get tired of being manipulated by the United States... which causes the United States to lose control through loss of power (which is the eventual rejection of the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency).

We were literally saying the same thing, but you're so absurdly political in every fiber of your being that you couldn't get past your go-to nonsense.

An absolute classic example psychological projection.

Patrick, I really don't have time to waste for when you start to get retarded like this.

When Donald Trump lies, the falsehood that passes from his lips can be as fragile as a soap bubble, wafted into the air from that common toy of childhood, the bubble wand.

In the first two minutes of this 8-minute segment from Monday's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell," the venerable MSNBC prime time anchor presents one of Donald Trump's latest (but persistent) lies about Joe Biden, and punctures the Trump lie as easily as someone "pops" an airborne soap bubble by jabbing at it with a fingertip.



Trump lied when he said that Biden was having difficulty enunciating the word "democracy," because of the stuttering disability that Biden has worked at diligently throughout his life to control and largely overcome.

There's the brazenness of Trump's lie, as he tells and dramatizes the lie, preceded and followed by two brief video clips of Joe Biden from the same event that Trump is lying about, in which Biden isn't stuttering at all. The word "democracy" passes several times from Biden's lips, as easily as it would from almost any of us.

Lawrence O'Donnell presents this brief video tableaux with his well practiced and straightforward and understated style, which makes it all the more effective and engaging... like the refreshment of a freshly poured Canada Dry ginger ale, over ice, on a hot summer day. (Canada Dry, Seagram's, Schweppes... I'm partial to Canada Dry.)

I definitely do not track politics like you do... so this is a drop in the bucket as far as tit for tat goes with politics. But I think Biden's condition is pretty obvious, and I mean... you can defend him, but it doesn't change the fact that it's very apparent. Had Biden run in 2016, there's a possibility that he would have won against Trump. The powers that be though decided that it was "Hillary's turn." So Biden didn't run. But when you look at Joe Biden from 2016, and compare him to Joe Biden of 2020... his change is catastrophic. Biden's decline, both physically and mentally is incredibly noticeable. I'm sure this will all come out at some point in a book after the fact... but they're using every trick in the book to keep him coherent day to day.

When they fire up their plants and all of that pollution comes over the seas and it comes right over our land. And then they want us to have clean. I said wait, “We're gonna be clean but it's all flying.” Just remember that. Does that make sense? In other words, it's all coming through the currents, through the air, it all comes. They can name it, they can say exactly where it's going to be and when.



Another recent crystal clear message from Troubled Trump. I hope we get to see them debate.

Geeze... this is such a dishonest post. Clearly not meant to have any real conversation, but simply just spouting totally improper stuff to push a narrative while trying to pretend like you're dispelling a narrative.




I think you are confused because you stepped into the middle of our conversation.

I was saying that you can't judge all Trump supporters as racists just because some of them are and you also can't judge all Muslims as terrorist just because some of them are.
