    Unknown. This pretty much sums up my feelings this Independence Day ---my country has been hijacked by corrupt politicians who have trampled the Constitution

    Just remember this, America is at it's best when it experiences it's worse, things may seem dire right now, BUT, Americans always kick ass when the chips are down, so stand back, grab a coke and some hotdogs, it's gonna be epic!

    I'm glad you can be so optomistic about our country's demise. As much as I hate to say it, I don't think American youth has the intestinal fortitude to save the US.

    I'm seeing a LOT of youth who are waking up to the cold bitter truth, especially that they will not be protected by the government, and they will not have food or money to buy anything with, and THAT scares them enough!

    Millennials are moving towards the right. That's a good sign. Hopefully, the trend is turning. I don't know how much farther left we can go. Hopefully, trend towards equilibrium happens in time. I would worry if/when we go too far right too.

    The thought occurred to me, today, that in just 3 years, the United States of America will celebrate 250 years, since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Something I'll happily look forward to seeing!
    Another thing I'm hoping to see, by then, is the Bidens in prison (both Joe and Hunter). If we can manage to toss Pelosi, Schumer and Harris in there, as well, it will make for a great celebration! (y)

    The only thing I'm really happy about this 4th of July is that Florida is now constitutional carry.

    Zimmy Wait, I'm not ready!

    It would be better to prosecute everyone in the government we can prove of a crime.

    Elected, appointed, and employees salary and non-exempt; get them all.

    The only thing that will keep the government honest --politicians, government workers. etc is the fear of swift prosecution and punishment (jail time) no plea deals, no country club prisons, no reduced sentence, Fear is a great motivator to keep people honest.

    Cheer up! We've had three recent BIG rulings by the SCOTUS in favor of the Constitution, the majority has turned against the Woke, corporations are on notice that if they stick their noses into politics be prepared to lose profits, etc. The pendulum is starting to swing in the our direction. Finally. Furthermore, things getting worse might exactly be what this country needs to shake it awake and force it to act. Rejoice! We actually might see the 2nd Revolution in our lifetimes! And, if they don't stop Trump, then they might be forced into doing something really stupid.

    Trump and RFK Jr on the ticket. Can’t say that RFK hasn’t done things that I’m against (I support the 2nd Amendment, but…) however those two would make the left go totally nuts. It will never happen, but it would be fun to watch.

    I think the possibility of Biden not making it to even the primaries, due to medical and cognitive issues, is getting more probably every day. As such, it will come down to either RFK jr. or Gavin Newsom for the democrats. Newsom's interview on Hannity and admitting his mistakes to gain notice from independents was his first step toward the presidency. The guy just might be more cagey and slimier then the Clintons and the thought of him taking leadership of the country gives me nightmares even while I am wide awake. RFK seems to be trying to convince everyone that he is a middle of road type democrat but, I ain't buying it, and think he will have to either drop from the race or drop the facade soon to get support of the radical left which has control of the party.

    As far as Trump, the fact that he scares the crap out of the Leftists, a man with a true vendetta - well - that would be enough for me to vote for him or anyone that will take apart the Left. I think as a lame duck and vengeful president, he will ruin the Leftists for 20-years and they know it so they will not allow his election - never. So, I expect that there will be more voting shenanigans and outright cheating next election. Why not? They did it last time and got away with it so why not this time. They will. And, if all else fails then Trump best watch his back and I do mean assassination. Furthermore, if you think I am talking bullshit then think about Epstein. The powers at play here are immense. I honestly believe things could go critical, even bloody, leading up to, during and after the election.

    Parse what RFK said. He said IF both houses of Congress came together and passed legislation, he would sign. In other words, he would only sign something that would pass 60 in the senate AND 51% in the house. Any legislation that got that far would be pretty limited in scope.

    It's easy for people to complain when they are weak and have no skills and no desire to acquire them either. We wouldn't be where we are today if people were lazy and only complained. I'm hoping and praying for a major shift.
