    Certainly is a brilliant investor...never in question. In fact, a puppet master. He blew out the British pound didn't he? Great guy...
    Yes. Someone to look up to because he can make money...damn, I thought that was why libs hated Trump...

    Wow...didn't know...I know the feelings you are experiencing these days. My sincere condolences.
    Family is important now...even though I really had none, I know from group that it is in family you can find the strength you need.

    I guess we have way different sources of info about this guy..."hid" in Hungary is not what I've read, or actually seen on a Soros video byte on how he aided the Nazis as a teenager; helped them confiscate his own fellow Jewish families land. Not only did he freely admit working with the Nazis, he stated "it was the happiest time of my life". He didn't have to hide from the Nazis; he might as well have been one.
    He also has said that he " sees himself as a god, a sort of messianic figure ever since he was a boy"...a fine fellow, someone to really admire. Sickening. You could look it up.
    I referenced this psychopath, not because he spends money...he can buy whatever the fuck he wants to...it's his fucking psyche and his influence on people who don't even bother to find out about him, and admire him for "working hard"...no matter who for or what it was. If working hard and being poor is a criteria, then there are a lot of fucked up people I guess we should be admiring.
    He is extremely powerful, and people dance for him was my point.
    If making money is also a criteria, along with successful investments, etc., then Trump is admirable, I guess.

    If indeed this is what they want to hear, then I fear my jest about civil strife may be more accurate than I envisioned.

    I've tried very hard to stay out of this political discussion cause I agree/disagree with points made by each individual poster, and to be honest, the politics angers me more than is rational. But I have to say this, every time someone on the GOP side of the fence starts talking about unemployment and the "real" numbers, my only thought is "THEN WHY THE FUCK WON'T REPUBLICANS VOTE FOR OR PROPOSE ANY REAL SOLUTIONS?" Any legislation that proposes to stimulate job growth is immediately trashed by the republican side of congress. Why?

    Respond if you desire, but I'm going back into my cocoon of silence on these matters.

    The skills required to persuade votes often are the polar opposite of those needed to effectively govern. As a result, those who run for office are not those best suited to office, but rather those who want to be in power the most.

    All of my parents on both sides of the family are gone and I miss them as well. Never easy to see suffering up close and be powerless to stop it. Not overly religious but she passed at 3:30 in the morning and her mom passed on 3/3/03. Her brother who is a minister prayed over her the same day she passed which buoys the hope of an afterlife.

    LOL
    sure drive by and throw a rock through the window
    WHY DONT DEMOCRATS COME UP SOMETHING BESIDES RAISING TAXES?
    now that the stereotypes are out of the way should we start calling each other names?
    im a conservative and not a republican but i sure as fuck don't want socialism
    want to take a shot at explaining the difference between democrats and socialists?
    cause besides Sanders who is at least honest about it neither Clinton or Wasserman/Schultz (the chairman of the democratic committee for those who might not know who she is) sure can't seem to explain it
    the momentum that has generated behind the idea of taking what people have worked for away and spreading the wealth is not going down without a real fight
    believe that

    Pretty much. Wasn't trying to analyze his actions, was just throwing it out there for people who don't know who he is.

    Not legitimate. The unemployment reports have never been legitimate. Each government is able to fudge it to include or exclude whatever group helps its analytic.
    Unemployment is rampant.
    People that dont look for work because its impossible to get hired are still unemployed.
    If someone wants a job and doesnt have a job they are unemployed.
    That happens long enough that people lose their illusion and eventually dont even want a job because its not worth the hassle to sell yourself into slavery.
    Slavery is a word that slaves abhor.
    Foxconn is going to replace its factory workers with robots pretty soon. They have the technology but have to wait till humans are worth a little less before they pull the plug.
    We used to have millions of horses in america. They did a lot of work to help the millions of farmers we had working the fields.
    Then we didnt need horses anymore because the farmer got better tools, magic machines of all combinations.
    All the horses died off and a horse became a luxury.
    Farmer didnt care because he had the best tech that would allow him to kick back and lay off all his farmhands.
    Millions of farmhands lost their work and the country went into the greatest depression.
    First the horses died, then the farmhands died... the farmer still hadnt gotten the message.
    Then the farmers died and now like horses farmers are a luxury in america.
    My dad was a mechanic. When the Ford Taurus came out in the movie Robocop he was screwed.
    My dad could not work on a car with a computer in it. Fuck fuel injection almost killed him but he survived only to be killed by the computer that had to be installed to control more complicated sensors.
    I studied some IT. What i studied most was hardware related and windows specific. Now its all about software, about coding, and about anything but Windows.
    You could make a living just out of how bad Windows was. People always needed someone who was good at getting Windows to work right because Windows/IE was always messing up.
    Now everyone can do most things for themselves, its not that hard, everyones kids are computer savvy, software is way dumbed down now even Windows. And if you dont like it you can always switch to anything else you might like better. All that stuff is easy now. You dont need an IT guy for those things anymore. At least not in the near future.
    Robots will soon replace 90% of all jobs.
    The only jobs available will be for the expert and for the slave.
    1% are experts or have 'title' to their position which grants them a sort of nobility
    99% will be employees in the service industry
    And service means just what it means. Sure we get paid a wage to serve, but we better be polite
    As in politically correct because this is a democracy and that means everybody MUST act like a democrat, diplomat, politician
    Wages does not cancel out slavery btw.
    Slaves in Egypt were paid wages and were given subsidized housing. Probably food stamps too if they had them.
    Records state that the slaves were even given a standard ration of beer after every days work. Gotta motivate the worker to work hard and finish the job.
    Soldiers are sold into servitude when they sign away their rights as a free man. They must act, think, and BE all that the government wants them to be.
    Soldiers have always been slaves, that is nothing new. Just bringing it up to remind you that they also get paid.
    Slaves always get paid in one way or another for their labor.
    Not getting paid isnt what makes you a slave.
    Many politicians in America make a good salary but they are slaves to their masters.
    The french revolution was horrible. It wont be the same here, it will be worse.
    You know what France was flooded with before the revolution?
    Hipsters.
    They invented them.
    The invasion is almost complete.
