And, as Thomas Sowell has said, many times, the true minimum wage is $0.00.

Bernie Sanders agrees.

Say what you want about Liddy, but he was loyal, and intelligent. And he was correct about a lot of stuff. Important stuff.


My dog is loyal.  Liddy was a burglar "mastermind" and a nut case.  You have to stretch to say that he was right about anything, except maybe how to kill someone by shoving a pencil up his nose.

Unbelievable that some people admire him.  You, Savge?  I can't grasp that.

I raced his corvette on I66 eastbound at 3:45am one.      I came off the dulles access road and saw a corvette and stepped on the gas of my 300zx turbo and was ready to pass him at 120mph and, when I drew up next to him, I was suddenly not passing him but watching him pull away.

Some of us see "watergate" for what it really was. One of the most overblown bogus political "scandals" of the last 200-250 years. If you don't understand far, far worse has been done, and gotten away with, with a ton of help from the media, in the last 50 years, I guess you can't grasp it.

Watergate should already, but will look like a jaywalking citation in the near future.

I regret my comment, Savge, I try to avoid politics here, and you're my friend.  I just hated Nixxon and his crowd so much that I react when the topic comes up.  Sorry!  I don't want to know what Watergate really was.

Nixon was another example of many of the presidents Democrats have been successfully overthrown over the years and they've attempted many more but failed. And the one Democrat who told Americans to their faces there was a communist establishment conspiracy, was killed for it. Imagine that.

Because some of us hold on to unwritten rules to never speak politics, income and sex in social circles, because it ruins friendships that would otherwise thrive.

This whole watergate convo is a deflection to minimize the current. They are not even in the same ball park. What-a-bout does not work in court. Blanket answers are nonsense.

I created the music thread as an alternative to debating game or politics. Its inclusive subject that most anyone can, and have, get onboard with. I’ve never seen music ruin friendships. People I disagree with on those subjects can converse on a subject most have in common. Things can be civil. There are things we agree on. Entertainment has always been a break from negative. The game is entertainment, and should be separate from real life negatives. If one obsessed with negatives they become bitter and toxic.

Same with union battles where I worked. Our union and electricians union battled iver contracts of who would do what. Bith trying to take each others work. The suits made decisions that pitted the members against each other. People got beat up, passions were way too high and dangerous. I was placed on the front line to deal with it. It was very ugly. The other union was sabotaging our work to get the contract back we took.

Ling story shorter, it came to a climax. Finally I asked that union workers “why are you here?”. Yhey came up with all these union political responses. I said “no that’s not why you are here”. You are here to feed your family. Your suits are trying to take food out of my families mouth, our suits are doing the same to you. Why are we fighting the suits decisions? Lets them fight their own battles in court. We all need to feed our families, we are best working together before all unions are booted. Now no one feeds their families. This cannot continue. The suits count money and watch tv, while we scar each other. A lot of blank faces. One guy on their side said “he’s right, he needs to feed his family too.

In the end, until I left, I would have our crew do things to make the other unions job easier, and they dud the same for me. The suits make our decisions force them to fight it out. Many of us ended up as friends. If you don’t like the decisions your BA makes vote them out. Why should you go home angry and full of hate every day.

Did the suits like what I did? Nope. But we all ned to feed our families and work together. We made our lives easier, not warring their divisions.

Point being, there is no point in hating each other over divisions the suits make and want. I don’t want to take food out of my new friend’s family mouths. If that is winning count me out. We’ll keep the contract on merit, not hateful battles of nonsense the suits invent.

Music is something we can all get onboard with. Politics ruin otherwise thriving friendships. I don’t want to know their politics, income or sex. I don’t want it to ruin friendships. Live your life, feed your family. Let the suits fight their own divisions, or vote them out, its that easy.

Posting politics here only pushes friends away, it solves absolutely NOTHING. As we get older and friends passing its nit wise to push the remaining away. Isolation just breeds dark imaginings.

Even if we can’t solve this everywhere, we can solve it here in a place that makes us all happy. Why destroy our sanctuary?

Music is inclusive across all languages. Learn to be friends again. Life is way too short to settle for one minute of nonsense. Play your game, feed your family, let the suits fight their own battles. Put that sht down.

What happened before will never excuse current times, not now, nor in 10 yrs.

Some just love spreading hate, making people angry, these are vexations to the spirit. Don’t hand them success as reward. Appreciate each other anyway.

I refuse to be anyone’s minion. I just hate hate and and toxic misinformation.

The fact that these discussions can separate us who have this hobby in common shows they are successful in diverting our frustration from their poor actions and decisions with a healthy helping of corruption and have us fighting between ourselves instead of the actual problem which is all of them...the uniparty

Now back to your favorite music videos...lol

Here's an example of what a deep state cabal and corruption looks like all connected and it's all being investigated and corraled. Now can you see why they are so scared? Do followers really understand what their party actually is?

Interview and PowerPoint start at 9:00. Enjoy.
