What’s with Biden and his consistent, insistent braggadocio that the US is a democracy- ours is not a democracy, it is a republic - the difference is substantial.
Sometimes I wonder why any of us thinks we have any rights at all. When the hair on the back of my neck begins to stand up I go to this picture named the Blue Dot taken by the Voyager Spacecraft and I begin to become very sober quickly.
Excellent job Bill! Both Tribes need their useful idiots; lovingly referred to as Statists. When I hear some poor soul bemoan their loss of Democracy I use my go-to retort. "Don't worry Sweetheart, neither Tribe will take away your ability to vote for my wallet." Just another warm, sunny, beautiful day here in Parasite Nation. What's in your wallet :-)
Damn, I wish you were wrong Bill, but it seems like you're not. It might be my age, but it does have an "end of times" feel about it at the moment. On the other hand, given that it's always been this way, maybe, at least, we're a bit more on to it these days? Or are they they just that much more in your face now - almost like they don't care anymore.? There was a time, I think, when even politicians were at least a bit embarrassed when they were caught lying, cheating, or stealing - not anymore.
Mr. Bonner & company. You said it very well. I've found out today that Cox (my email company) apparently doesn't like your comments. Why would I say that? I tried to make a comment to today's article and wasn't allowed. This is happening more than we think! Cox head quarters are in Georgia. Now we know what the quagmire there is all about.

Mr. Bonner - with all due respect (I think your economic analyses are spot-on) I can't believe you don't see the difference between Trump's election denial lies, and Democratic politicos. I don't deny both parties are pro-war, pro-spending, etc. But Trump and his followers publicly state they will NOT accept any election result that doesn't favor them ! They no longer abide by the rules that make a democracy function - which is the road to totalitarianism.
And for all your travels, I am suprised (and rather in disbelief) you make so light of the U.S. democratic system. Any time spent in South America, Asia or Africa quickly reveals how much freedom we still enjoy (and how awful are the alternatives).
You switched the debt responsibility argument from Democrat/Republican to zero in on party presidents. The real authority for budgeting, spending, and debt lies with Congress last time I checked the Constitution. Look up two-year spending & debt by which party controls both houses of Congress and you'll see strong evidence of which congressional party is the big spender. For example, Democrats ruled Congress during the COVID spending spree and Republicans ruled during the last balanced budget.
Democracy, thats funny. Its like the US constitution, the German, the French, Russian constitution aren't they a Democracy ? People get their pockets picked, worried about who's going to win the public purse. Now, thats funny !
Mr. Bonner & Company: Keep up the good work. I've found out today that one of the email companies doesn't like your work. The Georgia based company. Now you know what the problem is in Georgia. Cox is that company. Helen Coggins
Sorry for the confusion, Dorothy. You would certainly be right if I were comparing democrats from republicans.
Unfortunately, all we have today are democracies, so both parties are represented by demo-ticians. They are elected to rob the other demos (neighborhoods) and bring the booty home to their own demos. That's what the incumbent demo-ticians brag about, and ask to get re-elected to go steal some more. (Strange to say, voters are surprised when their demoticians steal from them!)
Politicians, who truly work for the whole polis (nation) are almost non-existent anywhere today, including all of North America.

Democracy, definition, two wolves and a lamb deciding what is for dinner. I will pass on democracy.
Just sayin.

Mr. Bonner well said thank you H Coggins

This comment in addition to my previous post on this site. McCarthy, in as Speaker of the
House, is not (will not be) any better than a lefty. He is as much of the "swamp" as any one
on the left.
