He probably had to go change his depends.

I think everyone on both sides now agrees that this old fool is not only incompetent but thoroughly distasteful, bordering upon loathing. The question is what to do about it? Ironically he may just be a uniting focus in that regard.

What amazes me, or maybe it doesn’t, are the number of people, supposedly on our side, who are unable to separate animus for an individual from critical national interests.

That’s a very interesting viewpoint. Where is the 20y timeframe coming from or based upon?

The demographics I’ve seen don’t even support 20 yrs. More like 10. I was hedging my bets! Peter Zeihan has covered this extensively. Check him out on YouTube. By no means is Zeihan the only person covering this. The effects are already being felt. Labor in China is getting tight, and so more expensive. China’s GDP growth is slowing down already. Manufacturers are seeking lower cost labor elsewhere.

To hell with Liberty Safe Co. Hope they go away. A definition of fascism is when private companies become intertwined with and indistinguishable from government.

Another of these short clips. In this case, it shows the accuracy and power of a pair of HIMARS MLRS missiles fired with GPS guidance and targeting. Not sure about the KA-52 missiles, but this was clearly a field ammunition transfer point.

But most of them already are.
Who do you think is governing this country?
Big money(private companies) and party establishments. That's who.

A tyrannical government trying to send a message, and make examples out of people.
Pardons by Trump will be on the 2025 agenda.

They are. In 2016, eliminated the one child policy, and recently are increasing their retirement age, to name a few. Maybe too little too late, but their main concern currently does not include letting their children decide to start puberty blockers or not.

We are in the same boat as most of the developed countries, in case you didn't know.
Our population increase stalled, we are barely positive and it doesn't look good for the future even with immigration.

Yep...

My "big" safe is a Liberty Timber Ridge 48 gun unit.. Ive been looking around for an additional safe for a little while trying to figure out what to buy and was seriously considering another Liberty.. for the money I have been very happy with the quality, and the one time I ever have had to call them I found their customer service to be excellent..

They are off the consideration list now.. makes my search a good bit easier..

It’s true that our replacement rate is barely positive in the US. Compared to most of the industrialized world (and remarkably so in the case of China) we are faring pretty well. Say what you want about gens x, y and z. They exist. It’s much easier to get people who exist to be useful citizens than people who don’t.

 

[Doug3006]

Sorry folks, I missed the news about Liberty. What did they do?

 

[Tundra Tiger]

A company keeps a backdoor for something they created that is supposed to be secure.

If I was looking for a safe/gun cabinet, I would do a hard pass on Liberty.

@Doug3006 ...

Thanks Tundra Tiger. I’m surprised that the FBI can’t crack a safe without someone giving them the code!

I don’t think China has much control over North Korea anymore. Xi tried to put Kim in his place a couple of years ago by bringing him to China and humiliating him. Remember the photos of Xi sitting in the high chair and Kim standing like a little kid? That was intended to embarrass Kim and put him on notice that direct dialogue with the West was forbidden. Kim returned to Pyongyang and essentially gave Xi the finger and continued talking to Trump.

China provides the Hermit Kingdom with some 90% of their imports. Xi could squeeze Kim if he wanted to but he doesn't. And where does Kim get the technologically advanced stuff needed to continue his ballistic missile program? China? Russia? I don't know but he apparently gets what he needs from somewhere.

Care to be a little less cryptic? What exactly are you saying here?
