The founders themselves warned the system only works as long as the people are basically good. (paraphrasing). Corrupted people corrupt any system. We need only look to Rome to see what happens when a state grows fat and lazy.

Pretty much the fountainhead of the GOP too.
What it has become is one of the greatest tragedies of American history and will be studied by scholars for centuries.
OTOH they DID allow women to be accused of witchcraft and then executed as a result.
Nikita Khrushchev said the United States would be destroyed internally, and here we are, getting destroyed by the braindead magats who have no knowledge of our history.
One could argue we are being destroyed by the extremism on both ends of the spectrum....the everything is racist, blame the white patriarchy, soft libs....MAGA
wish one of the sides would proudly and openly try to represent and benefit the middle 80%
no shit. Lets lower the 22 and 24 percent tax bracket to 15 and 17 respectively, bump a new tax bracket in for 500K plus of say 40, and 50 on 2 million plus. Leave the bottom brackets be. WE, the middle class will spend the saved money and boost tax revenues, and still keep the wealthy, well...wealthy. I like the destruction of USAID...after looking at all the waste and fraud. Now, attack the militaries wasteful spending and spend it on infrastructure and health.
So, since TV shows are now reality, when does Putin fly into the USA on a dragon with his Dothraki horde in front of him? 🙄
Didn't even need to fire a missile. We got long-gamed.
How did “we” destroy our country? You mean by tightening up our southern and northern border security, attempting to cut fraud and frivolous costs from government, trying to increase manufacturing in this country, and reducing crime in some of our decaying cities. Those all seem quite “American”. 😉
He also investigated Panama and other areas in Central America as well as actually sending former slaves to Haiti. That is, if my recollection is correct.
You will never convince me that a few far left extremists has done as much damage as the magat movement. And I laugh at many of the so-called libertarians who scoff at the appointment of women, minorities, gays, or trans to any kind of position, but applaud many unqualified appointments by this so-called administration.
By electing nazis, who are only enriching themselves and not doing anything they are telling the feeble minded magats, like yourself.
It really depends on your interests.
Anything by David Hackett Fischer.
I read “The French Wars of Religion “, which was very interesting. It led me to studying the deMedicis.
One thing leads to the next. So I went back to the “Norman Invasion “, watched all the Alfred the Great series then read about it.
William actually did have a claim to the English throne. And it affected the development of the English language. 40% of English comes directly from Norman French.
Then. We can do Ireland. Most people think that the Irish immigration was during the famine years, but a lot of immigration was earlier, due to the “planting” of lowland Scots in Ireland.
Too bad we don’t live close by. I could spend days discussing history.

You are evidently unaware of the Russian spies sent back to Russia in a prisoner exchange last year. That’s not fiction.
I was just jack'n with you, nothing personal. Just thought it was funny someone pointed out you'd already started this conversation, then completely forgot about it.
Lol. I was distracted by real life.I was just jack'n with you, nothing personal. Just thought it was funny someone pointed out you'd already started this conversation, then completely forgot about it.
I am aware. I remember the story from about 10-20 years ago. I also remember their operations being fairly benign. Not even close to the cloak and dagger stuff from The Americans.
So last year, when the kids found out on the plane, was 10-20 years ago?
Go back and re read the news.
He is a magat after all. They are pretty much unaware of any actual happenings in the world.
The woke want schools to change their name away from Lincoln. Shame on you. I thought you were woke.
”The Americans” was inspired (partly) by events in 2010 and prior. I’d say that falls into the “10-20 years ago” window, eh professor?
They're in the FO part of FAFO, but are too stupid to realize it.
Except that was when they discovered them. They observed them for about 14 years, so they could catch more of them.
Do your homework student. You received an incomplete.
Dude. They were sent back to Russia last year in a prisoner exchange. Man, you are dense.
Wait a minute. Now you’re moving goal posts. Insofar as the news story goes, it happened in 2010. I was right all along. And again, at the time the story broke, the “experts” were all saying that but for the fact they were Russian agents, there really wasn’t anything significant. Like I said, relatively benign. You are the dense one who keeps dodging an issue that you can’t even identify.
Russian spies' kids learned their nationality on flight to Moscow, and had no idea who Putin was, Kremlin reveals
Artem and Anna Dultsev were undercover intelligence officers commonly known as "illegals." They were posing as Argentine expats when they were arrested in Slovenia.

Now tell me how I moved the goalposts.
I led you through the story. The fact that you can’t figure it out is your problem. Check the date. 2024.
