Do you even listen to yourself.
I'm good dude. The average American is going to pay more in interest payments this year than it costs for all of my bills and necessities combined with enough leftover to go on a cruise that I'm not going to go on because I'm not an idiot.

Quote:You have another characteristic that Trump lovers and Putin lovers have: no imagination. T & P lovers literally, not figuratively, can't imagine the object of their love is a crook, a criminal, until he is in jail and the last of his appeals to a higher court have been denied. T & P lovers' lack of imagination allow Trump & Putin to roam around freely, doing whatever non-stop liars do with their days. Presumably, Putin will put in a full day telling people with no imagination that he is winning the war with neo-Nazis in Ukraine. Trump will be doing the same -- won the Election of 2020. Neither Trump nor Putin will actually be paying their income taxes this year, since Putin claims he only makes an estimated $150,000 per year and Trump claims he owes nothing for the 20th year in a row because of tax write-offs. Trump & Putin lovers cannot imagine their love-objects are cheating on their taxes.

Oh. I've got plenty of imagination too. The future owners of this house will have a one of a kind piece of art when I'm done with it.
I also wouldn't have bothered saving up money during the good times if I didn't imagine myself in a situation where I answer to no one but myself in the future either.

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Presumably, 6ix, you realize that birds and flowers never were bossed around like you have been, which is because birds and flowers would never believe liars like Putin and Trump nor help them in any manner.

In the span of a couple of weeks, Vladimir Putin — a man recently described by Donald Trump as a strategic “genius” — managed to revitalize NATO, unify a splintered West, turn Ukraine’s little-known president into a global hero, wreck Russia’s economy, and solidify his legacy as a murderous war criminal.
How did he miscalculate so badly?
For those of us living in liberal democracies, criticizing the boss is risky, but we’re not going to be shipped off to a gulag or watch our family get tortured. In authoritarian regimes, those all-too-real risks have a way of focusing the mind. Is it ever worthwhile for authoritarian advisers to speak truth to power?
As a result, despots rarely get told that their stupid ideas are stupid, or that their ill-conceived wars are likely to be catastrophic. Offering honest criticism is a deadly game and most advisers avoid doing so. Those who dare to gamble eventually lose and are purged. So over time, the advisers who remain are usually yes-men who act like bobbleheads, nodding along when the despot outlines some crackpot scheme.

Just like your free birds, he didn't actually have to do anything.
CNN and the rest of the propaganda machine did all the work.

Quote:CNN, not the Ukraine military, are to blame for Putin's problems in Ukraine and with Germany? That is a pretty stupid explanation, 6ix.

Are you like SIGS and think there aren't any Russian troops fighting in Ukraine?
