A warning to Poland: Germany's catastrophic immigration policy: 80-90% criminal manhunts are ARABS / foreigner

For several generations, Sweden was to be sure dubbed "The Nordic Model" by
an envious world, usually by the US rather than Canada.

Germany and Sweden in fact have encouraged private enterprise, look at Ikea,
Mercedes, Bosch etc.

When the US lost control of her New Deal heritage under Reagan, this is when
the mass shootings and random violence here escalated with a frightening vengeance.

And yet people refuse to take the hint.

This is a topic for discussion.

OK, give us that hint...

Obviously, that unbridled, crony capitalism too has her severe limitations,
no less than either Communism or socialism!

Beginning with the onset of the Reagan Era, the age-old gap between rich and
poor became more extreme than at any time in our history since the Great Depression.

Popular culture mirrors everyday life and everyday life under Reagan, a vague blueprint
of what Trump has in store, was pretty awful unless one either belonged to the protected
wealthy class of America's upper crust or the Church and was able to bribe successfully in
order to secure even decent employment.

Much of America wasn't as fortunate.

Fast forward to the present, imagine an American president cancelling a popular US TV-show
simply because he doesn't like the message. Imagine further if the likes of a J. Edgar Hoover
had become president. America didn't re-elect a first Hoover, aka Herbert aka "Shantytown Hoover" or
"Hooverville" because they wanted something better in their lives before became either too old or too
sick to enjoy it.

Are you drunk this early in the morning?

Where did you learn to write in this chaotic, incomprehensible, all-over-the-place English?

How about trying the Novi way:

Under Trump, this sucks and what we should do about it:

1...
2...
3...

Things are rarely so quick or easy as you make them out to be, Rich!
If you didn't understand my post, for heaven's sake just say so and I'll
translate it for you into Polish.

It might take me a while though:-)

I understand every single word.

It is what you are trying to say that is a mystery.

Remember that this is a US forum and the best one as far as freedom of speech. No need to speak in coded circles and metaphors.

BTW, real men don't trust men who don't swear. You never swear. This tells me that you are as cautious here as you are with your woke students.

Normal people like me don't like professors. We like guys like PAK. Read the last dozen of his posts and learn how to talk clearly and to the point.

A fvck or two will be helpful.

The middle class has shrunk 11% since 1975ish. According to your statement, one would think all of that the lower class increased 11%. But, there has been nearly a 7% increase of the upper class.


Hahaha...the wealth belonged to the church-I'll assume you mean the Catholic Church? When you look at Church assets, most is in real estate. The reason that is is because churches and church owned schools are real estate. That real estate, although technically controlled by the bishop, is, in essence, managed and used by its parishioners. Having extensive experience serving on Parish Councils overseeing finances, I can assure you most church clergy and employees aren't walking around with thick bankrolls in their pockets.

Crony Capitalism? Do you mean things like Obamacare, banks Too Big To Fail, the FDR-era subsidies?

I like those blood-sucking millionaires. The last one had a bank in Glenview, a company in Mount Prospect, and a Bentley.

For some strange reason, I have never been hired by a poor guy...

...and how the sob confiscated gold...an act not different form what the commies did in the USSR...

@AntV,
I'm referring to cronyism vs. competence, a hallmark of the Trump Era
in particular! No surprise is it that his favorite president was among the most
corrupt and who even bragged was meanest to his slaves, Andrew Jackson,
"Old Hickory" himself.

Can you honestly compare the likes of Peter Hegseth, a loutish bully, with the
likes of a William P. Rogers, Dean Acheson among others under JFK? These two
men were well born as well as central casting characters for their respective roles.

Trump's cabinet picks are not too different from Jackson's "kitchen cabinet", if one
stops to think of it.

You need to wake up......Germany and Sweden are NOT examples of "Model Countries"......they have been overtaken by mass muslim immigrations and both countries are losing their industrial bases.

I wrote "were once", Milo. This means to me that the term is no longer valid. Their ideals
though are still worth looking into.

The problem is that the US is a country of some 250 million people, whereas Sweden is
roughly 30 million strong and contained within a landmass about as sizeable as the entire
state of Maine! Therefore, expecting cradle-to-grave security for every single American, a
completely regulated social order as exists in such a small Scandinavian society, guaranteed,
paid six-to-eight week vacations once a year plus medical benefits etc. is obviously unrealistic,
to put it mildly. All this sounds proverbially too good to be true, because in the end, it probably is.
It would need to be tempered to fit the capitalist foundation of the United States.

However, the New Deal was close in nature to the (former) Nordic model and naturally garnered
the same hatred by the Republicans back then as by cynical, dyed -in-the-wool Trump followers
today.

Absolutely! Hegseth has taken over a DoD that was lost in a wilderness of PC and wokeism. A military that had a serious recruitment problem. A DoD not in line with its mission as a war-fighting department. He is doing a fantastic job of re-orienting that department back to its mission of preparedness and lethality. As a result, people are signing up again to join the ranks.

Central casting may be the problem. Give me results over optics. Give me a masculine head of defense over a pencil necked faculty lounge lizard all day, everyday.


What the hell does that even mean?


Most are excellent (Bessent, Rubio, Duffy) to good (Nowm, Burgum). The fact that a New Dealer liberal like you dislikes them, the more confidence I have in them.

...with a transgender azzhole with purple hair in command...to keep DEI morons and Feniks happy...

Troop morale? Who gives a fvck...


I follow this same perverse and reverse logic...If globalist leftist scum hates it must be good for the US...No need for special commissions or studies.

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

@AntV,

Cronyism, a la Jackson, is simply hiring or engaging cronies aka friends, buddies, "good ol' boys" etc. at the expense
of competent professionals who might not always have their boss' ear, yet are willing to engage in serious, heaven forbid intellectual, discourse
on vital topics, even at the risk of intense disagreement! This is how civilized people interface.

Ted Sorensen, Bob McNamara, Dean Rusk, and WIlliam P. Rogers may indeed come across to the present era as a bunch of useless, haughty
stuffed shirts. Perhaps this is because they were well-spoken, literate, if on occasion misguided, men, who at least were able to intelligently articulate
their feelings, without resorting to the kind of vulgar chat emanating from the current White House. If one listens to Pete Hegseth for example unscripted
in front of reporters, one wonders whether the man ever graduated high school or read a conventional work of literature.

Again people, the gutter reached the penthouse long ago and has at last invaded the White House.

Donald Trump isn't G-d and must be made to realize by his electorate that without discussion, back-and-forth debate during which he
is allowed to be criticized, he is no longer president of once the greatest democracy on earth, but rather is a dictator who needs to be
removed from office.

...the very definition of DEI scam...

So which is it? Do you like DEI or not?


Dictators cannot be removed from office. Learn English.

Sure they can. YOU should learn English:-)
Worked for Ceaucescu and others!

A guy who is at the mercy of the removers is not a dictator.

Try common sense.

Do you like DEI?

Ceausescu, or more properly Ceaușescu.... only one ch sound, the second is the sh sound.

...the sound of an AK-47 when you pull the trigger...

I knew that, Maf! I can't reproduce that letter on my keyboard.
