I hadn't heard that particular phrase before, but it's pretty apt here.
I like it.

Sure. Whatever.
And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

SECOND suffers from rich person's insanity. They think that because they're rich, and life hasn't thrown them a problem they can't buy their way out of in the last 7 years (7 years being the average emotional impact of memory), that they must be unusually gifted and wise.
Unfortunately, it's an all-too common insanity. Just look at our politicians from BOTH parties.

I have failed, but in same sense as Jeff Bezos. “Given a 10 percent chance of a 100-times payout, you should take that bet every time,” Bezos wrote in his very first annual letter (1997). ... Most people want a 99% chance of success at making a 10% return. That will keep you alive but not much is possible thinking like that.

SECOND, you could learn about Americans if you look into your own past, but - apparently- insight is just impossible for you.
You've made one horribly wrong choice in your life, which was volunteering for Vietnam. It was a choice a LOT of young men made, and for many it ended in death. That you escaped with a relatively minor disability was due to one thing: YOU GOT LUCKY.
You've made one great choice in your life, which was buying a crap piece of land/ mineral rights which might have oil or gas underneath it, and then riding an oil boom based on cheap money and endless loans, and it has been paying off ever since. And the reason why you got so rich is because YOU GOT LUCKY.
Unfortunately, you seem to think that because you made one good investment that paid off spectacularly now everything you think, feel, and do is golden. You're wise beyond belief. IN REALITY, you stray from reality quite often.
Take that piece of crap advice from Bezos: It only works if you are able to lose whatever you put up at risk. If you're living on the edge of survival, as many people are, you can't risk any of your time, or money, or resources because its loss would mean death. It is UNREALISTIC the advice given by someone who can afford to lose, and KEEP ON AFFORDING to lose, over and over and over again in low-probability ventures. It is the kind of fatuous advice that someone like you might give: Someone who is more than comfortably well-off, someone who got lucky, someone who already lives in a world that most people dodn't live in. In other words, its a piece of unrealistic crap.

I see the American deep state has arranged another provocation, and that is sending a drone over Iran, which Iran shot down.
Yanno, it seems that every time Trump has an upcoming meeting (G20 in this case) where peace might break out between Trump and Putin, "something" happens. This has Bolt-on's fingerprints all over it.

Quote:1kiki, you got my psychology wrong. I could have easily gone from Houston's Veterans Hospital to Houston's Veterans Memorial Cemetery back in 1973, which makes the last 46 years all gravy on my mashed potatoes. If you want to psychoanalyze, try explaining Trump's "thinking" because it is completely unlike anything I would do:

Trump approves Iran strike, then backs off.
Senior officials say U.S. was set to retaliate over downed drone, but plan abruptly halted. It was not clear whether Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward. Trump reportedly cancels attack on Iran as US planes were in the air.

Second. You are rich. YOU are the enemy of the people.
You had better start building that panic room and digging that moat for your castle.
Things aren't getting any better and there are no indicators that show the only way for everybody to go is down.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

6ix, I know all about the poor getting poorer and the Trumps getting richer, and I oppose everything Trump and the GOP are:

That's only because, as I've suspected all along and have said several times, because you hate yourself.
Nobody can blame you.
