@stux but what im saying is that because we get to place the people on the ballot int he first place, we are the ones to blame for only having craxies to choose from.

If we had simply picked sane people for our ballots then we would have sane people to pick from... remember by the time we see the ballots these people have went through dozens of lower tier elections to get there... its those lower tier elections that decide if the crazies or the sane ones bubble to the top.

@stux I mean... its hard to compare overt racism and the oppression of people with a threat that could lead to a global war... I agree neither should get a pass..

But also, lets look at the results... Trumps threats in this case literally had no negative outcome (despite its potential).. mostly leaders just laughed at him and in the end there was no nuclear war (not an excuse its jsut, the facts of what the consequences were)...

Biden however... he caused 10-15 extra years of segregation in our schools and a huge population of minorities who were unable to get a proper education because of his racism... bidens actions had real quantifiable harm... Trump, at least in the example of threatening nukes, did not...

That said Trump did worse things than threaten nukes and overall was a lot worse than that one example... was he worse than biden overall... i dunno.. he certainly **sounds** worse than biden.. but as I said I think biden is just smarter and more able to hide his evil... trump you know is evil the second he opens his mouth.. biden you have to do research.

@stux

The modern term for senility is dementia. and it comes in multiple forms, Alzheimer for example is the most common form people know. But yea this stuff can be seen on MRI, some people get diseases that cuase dimentia in old age, others dont.

> We can teach them to vote "better" but if there's nothing "better" to vote for it doesn't mean a thing and won't help either

This statement is wildly confusing... who you have to vote for is... the result of who you vote for... My presidential choice is the result of who i vote for at the party level... who is availible at the party level is the result of who i vote for at the local level, who is availible at the local level is the result of who i vote for out of the counsels and new comers... You act like they are forced to some small selection of people to vote for.... **you** (us) get to select every person at every level every step of the way.... so its still on **you** .. you (us) choose to vote for this people from the local elections on up... we put them on the ballot, and then voted for them.

@stux

For reference here is the quote we are discussing regarding Trump's thread of nuclear war:

> North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

I certainly agree with you thats wrong and make no excuses for Trump speaking like that as president.

Now how does that compare to Biden who spent the first 10 - 15 years of his career trying to keep segregation alive so his kids can legally keep going to all-white schools... in his words because he doesnt want his kids to grow up in a "racial jungle"... and he was largely successful in his efforts to keep segregation alive too...

Id say of the two bidens impact is far far worse than the example we just gave of trump.. for one biden wasnt threatening he carrier it out and people suffered for a generation at the hand of his horrible racism.

@stux The problem is a person can live to 100+ and never show senility.

Senility is well defined in medical terms and can even be seen on an MRI... it does not have to go hand in hand with being old... yes you need to be old to get it, but being old doesnt garuntee senility either.

The way i see it if someone is senile it shows... everyone can see without much doubt biden is senile... so at that point it should be the voters who have the good sense to pick someone else... the fact they dont doesnt mean we need a law, it means we need to teach our children to be better voters.

@stux

I dunno their both dangerous in different ways... Trumps issue is that he doesnt try to hide how evil he is... the result is that causes people to riot (either for or against him, as we saw it from both sides)... and yes thats dangerous...

Biden the problem is he is just as evil, but he is smart enough to try to hide that evil... and he gets away with it (even if its obvious to people like you and me that he is just putting on face)

@stux yea our general polarity causing deadlock i a huge iussue too..

That said it is designed that way, so that when people stop talking and coorperating you dont get a tryanny of the majority, no side can function without compromise....

Its a good thing, because right now we are so dysfunctional the USA **should** be deadlocked, we are dangerous with one side in unilateral control or a lack of bipartisan compromise

That said its bad for ukrain and I admit thats a problem.

@stux The fact that Trump might actually win after his last HORRIFIC go at it is, I agree, laughable to say the least.

I dont fully agree with you that there should be an age limit. Its not about age, its about the senility... like Trump wasnt senile, he should of lost cause he was a piece of shit, not his age (or just being an idiot more generally)...

Biden is senile and i would have said he should not have won not because of his age but because of his obvious mental decline....

Lets just hope we get someone new this next round who is better than either of these asshats.

@stux

And I agree the world is laughing and crying at us right now.. first for electing an asshat clown like Trump, and then for electing a racist senile asshat like Biden in the very next go... with one incompetent president after another we look like fools.

@RandomDamage

Indeed.. the problem is a law abiding business int he usa,a s far as i know, wouldnt need to report crypto transactions in the same way largely because it would be impossible to know if you have one big buyer vs lots of small buyers due to the anonymity.

@stux

@stux

I mean, pointing our Joe is racist and senile, isnt to say that Trump isnt also racist and, well not senile but an idiot... sure.

But Joe is our president, not Trump, and while the lesser idiot, the greater in terms of senility for sure.

@ech I am not saying you dont know the history... just that i expect you to know it in a level of detail that might be excessive (such as the terrorism carried out by immigrants int he 1920-1947 era by jewish terrorist groups that largely started much of the problems)

@stux Why not... your (us) the ones voting the people with dementia... means a lot... maybe if people llistened to me when I said "dont vote for racist dementia ridden joe" we wouldnt have him... but noooo, im a nazi for pointing that out or something apparently.

@RandomDamage

Sure lots of ways you can spend money illicitly... But int he USA the rule is above a certain amount then the transaction must be recorded.

@stux

@stux Yea, but thats because younger people voted for them... The demographic of the people in government is MUCH older than the people voting for them.

So your choosing them (us)

@stux whaat do you mean "when ouyr time comes" ... its your time right now... please stop burning it down, this is all you guys right now (and by you i include myself as im the older end of the newer generation taking over)

@ech

then you dont think its privilage at alll, since I cant afford to loose it? In that case we agree :)

@admin

@RandomDamage

The problem is cash has rules.. try to take out large chunks or deposit large chunks and any reputable bank must report you. I think thats the crux of the problem.. not the forensics.. just the fact that governments cant control the flow of money anymore at all.

@stux

@admin

Oh no worries I have no ill will towards you evil, and I certainly dont mind you disagreeing. If anything I very much welcome disagreement and would say you should feel free to interject.

Yes me being so blatantly frank about my opinions can get me in a lot of trouble... it is trouble I welcome as it usually gets the toxic people who cant be respectful to block me based on opinion alone... my feed is quite pleasant as a result usually with amazing people like you :)

I will say your stance has caused me to reflect on things like native americans and other issues... and I do agree there is some room for refinement and consistency... Generally where i am slowly starting to lean towards as a general rule is "A person has a right to citizenship wherever they are born, and a right of return to wherever their parents were born, or, anyone alive when they were born"... This mostly works for me, but it creates this sort of messed up situation where as long as acountry to annex another for at least one generation they have legal claim over it that cant be reversed... and that seems like too easy to take advantage of.

@ech

@ech Hahah this is true... as I said im sorry if i wasnt more clear at various points... I do tend to assume others know the history well enough to know from context what I mean... a fault of my own not yours.
