  • Russia's default on its foreign debt is evidence that global sanctions are squeezing the country's economy, and texts between the former president's son and his Chief of Staff Mark Meadows reveal details of a pre-election plot to subvert the will of American voters. #Colbert #Comedy #Monologue

      I worked 40 years and retired and was barely making it now I'm broke. My credit cards are maxed out and I fear for a roof over my head. I would like to thank you and every other democratic voter for putting me in this situation.
      I could have worked at McDonald's my entire life. And be better off than I am right now. And it's all thanks to the feeble. Weak minded democrat voter that cannot see through the Lies that the Democrats are ruining the country with.
      So why don't you tell me and everyone else Reading on the site why you voted democrat? And then explain how it's working out.
      I'll tell you how it's working out. Donald trump was right about everything and the democrats have been one hundred percent wrong about everything as usual. A certain feeble minded weak people can't see through it and are easily guided. These are the same people that sign up for all the extra c*** at the car dealership. Because they can't tell that they're being taken to the cleaners.
      So we are all on the edge of our seats. Waiting for your reply again, explain to us the fantastic job the democrats are doing and exactly why you're going to vote for them In 2024

      I recall a story of some researchers who went to Chernobyl for studies. They had their Geiger counters, tools samples and left as it was nearing the end of the “safe” amount of time to be there. But, to their consternation, even as they left the area, their counters continued to tick away. The problem was that they had stayed so long that their vehicles had absorbed some of the radiation (though it would wear off).
      Not only have those soldiers likely inhaled or absorbed radioactive particles through their skin as they dug those trenches and slept on the disturbed soil, their large metal tanks have absorbed some of that radiation, radioactive dust has coated their equipment and is in need of a thorough decontamination that I’m not sure their leaders will care about.
      And honestly, I wouldn’t put it past Russian leaders to take those soldiers and put them with other groups who will watch as the radiation poisoning takes its toll on them. Imagine going to war and watching as the new guy begins wasting away, vomiting and his hair falling out. Even if there’s no real danger to the other soldiers, morale is gonna take yet another hit as the very land places a devil’s curse upon them.

    To put the Chernobyl radioactive loot into perspective, a friend of mine overseas has said that the Russian military has insufficient trained troops and the recruiters are literally grabbing high school aged boys, stuffing them in uniforms, and handing them assault rifles. So...these soldiers stealing glowing trinkets with the power to literally cook your bone marrow to death just with you sitting next to it? Some of them are barely adults, and probably don't know better... 😖😖😖😵😱

      Now you know what privilege means. Lots of poor countries borrow from the World Bank and IMF - loans with many strings attached that sometimes increase inequality and exploitation of labor - because they fear defaulting on their debt. It's a reality that the poor live with. While the rich are grateful to have learned something new about poverty today

      This guy spreading propaganda is doing the opposite of helping attain world peace. He's literally part of the problem

      Yeah, well, since the democrats have destroyed the country, why don't you tell us how it's working out with the democrats? Why don't you tell us how Joe Biden and his entire family hasn't been ripping You me and everyone else off in this country By dealing with our enemies behind the scenes, making millions of dollars. Or are you gonna be one of the people? The thirty three percent that don't believe it.
      And why don't you tell us how your political wisdom which is not existent Helped get us into this mess.
      The future terrorist attacks and blood from crime is going to be strictly on the Democrat Voters hands you voted for a completely incompetent candidate because the media and the democrats brain washed you.
      Now the actual people that are guilty of all the stuff that was being thrown on. Donald Trump are in the White House, destroying our country daily with stupid Democrat Liberal ideas and policies.
      So how does it feel now that you used your political wisdom to throw our country into complete and total catastrophe were minutes away from World War 3? We have homeless people laying all over the streets. Crime rape murder store looting drugs coming across our border weapons coming across our border illegal immigrants coming across our border criminals. Rapist murders coming across our border being turned loose by the democrats into our country. And we have no idea where they're even at. You remember you voted for all this...............
      Donald Trump was 100% right about everything and he always has been. The democrats have been one hundred percent wrong about every.
      Their policies have destroyed this country.
      I worked for 40 years and retired only now to be broke. Have no savings at all my credit card Maxed out For the first time in my life bill collectors, calling me and i'm scared about having a roof over my head month a month.
      So why don't you explain to all the people here...We're waiting on the edge of our seats. Explain how voting Democrat is a great idea and list Some of the accomplishments that Joe Biden and the democrats have done.
      We are all waiting here on the Edge of Seats for your Liberal democrat late night talk show host explanation of what's going on..... We are waiting.....
