Leader of the Free World

Be specific. What's the lie?

You'll finally not going to be a f'ing moron if he explains it to you? Don't waste your time @SalAunese

Some want a continuation of war.

Others want peace.

I fear that Democrats are viewing warfare through the lens of a team sport. I believe that they view an end to the war with land concessions as a failure. It's not. It's accepting reality.

But you view politics through the lens of a team sport, So?

Tell us Northern, how hard was it to learn Russian?

Do you salute Putin's image each morning?

Northern always makes me giggle out loud

Interesting to know how far NORTH Northern lives....over the Pole maybe.

Hell, he may speak Russky, He's been on the Russian side all along.

Weird MAGAs have become the Kremlin groupies. It might be enough to make Reagan jump out of his tomb to shit in these guys faces.

He's been "most" of the board's punching bag since 2007. Me thinks he's just a combination of an energy vampire, sadist, attention whore, and just a really horrible troll. Someone with borderline personality disorder.

Bottom line, a very sad, sorry human being with zero self-awareness.

You'd think a person would get tired of getting punched, but the attention whore metaphor seems to apply. He would appear to be a perfect applicant for this dysfunctional White House, but they wouldn't have to pay these travel expenses. West Virginia or even Ohio is much closer.

Leader...sure, as long as we keep bending over backwards burning up our monetary resources for the benefit of others. Over the past 20 years the US has been the nicest house in the neighborhood but with no furnishings inside. We had to pawn those off to service the exterior and even then we kept pulling equity that was never there.

Trump didn't make us "not the leader", Trump just exposed the truth on the house of cards game we have been playing.

$37T in debt, its ****ing treasonist.

Debt is caused by not earning, paying interest on that debt as well as spending.

Decades of not earning, we had feverish "tax cut mentality" when revenues were insufficient earnings compounded a growing problem.

Promises that tax cuts will repair deficient revenues was a boondoggle, worsening the problem.

The tendency of financial wizards on this Board (reflective of society) to dismiss the trillions of uncollected dollars of tax revenue contribution is symptomatic of the problem and why correcting it is near impossible.

Can you go back in time to collect those revenues? As the economy grows wouldn't less govt funding, as a percentage of GDP, be needed?

We are in arrears, right? We have debt to pay off that should not have accrued to the extent it did. Had the surplus had not been given away and tax revenues been sufficient, and granted spending was overboard, but let's get the right wingers start considering the Desert Strom wasted ten of trillions of wasted dollars, compounding into Afghanistan and beyond.

I don't know about anyone else but in our house not spending less does is not offset by not earning much less. Especially when the ability to earn more is there. We had the infrastructure to collect the money, didn't, in fact passed legislation to REDUCE income and just watched the deficits grow.

And now we sit and bitch about the interest we pay on the debt we CREATED and GREW.

It's a matter of balance.

Edit: To answer your time question, the only was would be retroactively within statute of limitations. Monumentally unrealistic but enormous potential payoff.
