We are a Banana Republic. Prove me wrong

This is the greatest country on the planet.
Prove me wrong.

Every great society declines and goes away… prove me wrong!

Was until the current **** stains in office ruined it. Liberals mess up everything!

Perfect example of the difference between a progressive and a conservative a few posts above.

The progressive is satiated by their current situation and care not about the future.

The conservative is concerned. Only a steward of this resource, he knows "great country" now could be hell for his children if not extremely careful.

One foolishly lollygags while the other knows man's depravity knows no bounds.

Place your bets: Trump’s poll numbers go up or down as a result of this?

It's relative though. The bar is pretty low currently. If we ask if we are the greatest country comparatively, then yes. But look what we would compare ourselves against.... garbage. If we ask if we are as great as we once were, and compare ourselves to what the standard should be and what we once were, then no. We have declined immeasurably as a nation morally and that bleeds over into absolutely everything else. From a biblical world view, which I have, I understand that it is just the stage being set.

The one enormous difference as compared to past dynasties is that we Americans have all the national resources right under our feet to not just survive but to excel as a society. Politicians and corruption are dragging us down but there is a fix for that as well.

We aren’t just a banana republic, our banana is black, squishy and stinks to high heaven, it is so rotten.

I honestly thought these charges would disappear when the Biden classified story broke, because it would be “too in our face hypocritical “ to charge Trump and do nothing to Biden for MULTIPLE violations and stored less securely.

But here we are… that’s how brazen the elite have become. They don’t even try to hide it!

There is only a single solution to fix this. We can’t vote it away. There is no politician, candidate or group of candidates who can save us now. There is only 1 solution. And I’m not sure we have the wherewithal to do it

It's everyone's fault IMO. It started small and grew. It still happens on TBH all the time.

You break a law and most TBHers dog pile and say pay the fine, do the time, you knew the law or ignorance is no excuse etc... But then there's someone else doing the exact same thing but crickets. Then excuses roll. LEO can't bust everyone, officer discretion.....and on and on and on.

It just finally made it to the top.

This has to be the dumbest rear ended logic I've seen in a while.

It like telling someone who made 4 million to pay 3 million in taxes and telling him..you still made a million! While they pay in zero.

I'd love to make you eat crap sandwiches the rest of your life and tell you every day that you're still eating better than 98% of the world. Prove me wrong.
