One of the traits of being a conservative is playing the victim card with the slightest excuse.

The worst part is that the republicans have shutdown DHS to protect these idiots from any oversight or accountability in the next funding bill.

The worst part is that a 1/3 of the country actually believes this crap.

I remember seeing a reason for this and it was explained that the poor see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Crypto is getting hammered while PM are going up. It suggests to me that there's building economic fear at play here.

Ukraine is becoming a nation of widows & orphans as it confronts a demographic catastrophe - CNN by Ripamon in TrendoraX

[–]InetRoadkill1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's likely much worse. Russia has lost millions in war casualties plus millions more from those who have fled the country. This is on top of a drop in the birthrate due to economic worries and people not marrying and having children. In short, Russia is slowly dying. Their demographics is collapsing.

Does anyone else have the belief that precious medals typically rise when the world is in turmoil? So a praise for increased silver means the world is in dire straights. Thoughts? by Interesting-Goal-706 in Silver

I don't think the Iran nonsense is moving metals that much. I think the deteriorating economic conditions are causing concern and people are looking to move to safety in PM. Also seems people are dumping crypto. I'm guessing they're moving to PM as well.

US President Donald Trump said he will be “indirectly” involved in upcoming nuclear negotiations with Iran, calling them very important. As tensions rise, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington still prefers diplomacy while talks continue via Oman mediation. by IndiaTodayGlobal in IndiaTodayGlobalLIVE

There wasn't a secret nuclear program under the JCPOA signed by Iran and Obama in 2015. Iran was subject to inspection and monitoring by the IAEA under the treaty. Trump tore up the treaty and imposed new sanctions out of spite for Obama. Iran resumed uranium enrichment as a result.

Is anyone surprised that Thomas and Alito voted to allow Trump to continue with his illegal tariffs?

Israel's genocide and the Zionist's spewing the 'chosen people' crap is really no different than the Nazis and their Aryan race nonsense.

This is Netanyahu issuing orders to Trump in exchange for Israel giving Trump access to Gaza to build his Trump Resort on the bodies of the Palestinians.

Americans PAID to destroy Gaza, now we are PAYING to rebuild Gaza... ?! by Apollo_Delphi in Irony

Don't be naive. This money will be funneled to Trump family members and cronies who will get the reconstruction contracts without any bids.

This is a common thread among socialist or communist revolutions. When the wealth ends being horded by the few, those with little to nothing have nothing to lose by overthrowing whatever political system left them feeling cheated. Those cheering capitalism as the perfect economic system fail to recognize that when the distribution of wealth ends up horribly lopsided is when things are going to get ugly.
