I don't believe 90% of what I: I don't believe 90% of what I see/hear on TV, Starward. It's a mind game, and "they" are all in on it. History repeats, but why? They keep playing this problem/reaction/solution crap, and we keep falling for it. WE are their "WMD'S", Starward! We make the weapons they use against us. WE do their fighting and killing for them. They keep us divided and uneducated because they know WE are they only reason they stay in power. We are ignorant, and they are laughing at us! We do all their dirty work and that's how they stay in power. We b**** about it,(some of us) but we don't do anything to stop it. Our problems are our fault! Government is suppose to work for us. Trump is no different than Biden or any of them. In Oz, the dog pulled the curtain back and exposed the "boogyman". The DOG! They are laughing at us!
Starward...they are all the same. We select the crap they give us to choose from. The elections have been rigged for decades!
