Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental. 😁

Did Guns invite you to the latest chat room? 😉

Quote : Guns of Brixton said:No. You aren't going to be dropping diagnoses here or giving anyone your "honest" critiques. Not one single time! No provoking people, no ramping up the tension, and definitely no angry outbursts.

Just play some music, maybe drop a joke or a rhyme every now and then. That’s it. For everything else, go back to the old chat.

No fighting, no calling people out—NOTHING.

🤣

Since when did she become the boss of what we can and can't do!

🤣

She’s really out here trying to tell everyone what they can and can't do!

🤣

Oh, I see how it is. Two chat rooms just aren't enough, we need a third one now. I guess it's all part of that massive push for "diversity" and especially inclusivity—there's just never enough of that, right? 😁

So, it’s just us four Aces hanging out here. You, Judo, Larry Walker24, and me. 🎉

Anyway, let's get back to those big-picture existential questions—you know, the kind that hit you right in the face after life has already taken its toll:

What's your take on all this new nonsense involving China?

What’s your take on all this new crap involving China?

Which part specifically? There's always some kind of nonsense going on over there.

Give it to the dollar crunch.

The Chinese really got screwed over.

...

Plus, Trump's grassroots donations are going through the roof. DeSantis is getting crushed—the big donors are basically pulling him out of the ditch.

The Chinese man got absolutely wrecked.

It feels like every two years, the Western media starts screaming that China is right on the edge of total collapse. Honestly, nothing has changed. Every few weeks, some big player switches over to the yuan or starts using local currencies. People were saying it would be Thailand next—even the head of the Federal Reserve of Thailand went to visit China right after the elections—but that’s a dead end. They had an election coup and brought in American types—basically just billionaires. (We're talking the daughter of that Thaksin Shinawatra guy, the former PM who fled because of corruption, plus some other billionaire who got banned from running due to corruption scandals)

Also, Trump's grassroots donations are going through the roof. DeSantis is struggling hard. The mega-donors are just cutting him off.

I'm just sitting here waiting for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to drop an endorsement for Ron DeSantis, right after George and Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and the rest of that crew. All we need now is a little Bernie Sanders commercial to wrap it all up.

Look, this isn't even about China. I don't think you're following me. I'll write more once I'm back from Chicago—which, by the way, happens after my trip to the Caribbean. Gotta go gather all that Intel first. 😛

And don't go forgetting about that massive endorsement from the godparents—well, not actual godparents, let's be real—of the California private prison industry. 😉 Since she’s probably not going to be allowed to run in that race anyway, right?

Now bluecyclist64 is acting like she can dictate everyone's business!

🤣

And Dženana is certainly ambitious; to borrow a phrase from Zvonimir Majdak—"Watch closely, just so I can keep my hands clean..."🤣

And just like that, we’re left with the four of us—The Fantastic Four plus one outlier...🤣

Honestly, I don't give a damn about all that internal Chinese drama, especially the monetary stuff—it’s just too much noise for me. I mostly only care when it starts spilling over into global politics, so clearly I've been totally out of the loop lately... anyway, someone please just lay it out for me! What's actually going on? Spare me the digging and just give me the highlights.

Don't even get me started on that massive endorsement from the buddy of those California private prison execs. Seriously! 😉 So, since she’s definitely not getting cleared to run in that race over there...

Haha, hey! You talking about kamilica Horroris again? 😂 😬

Wait, didn't they ban private prisons in California? I thought there was only like one left standing!

But honestly, it’s all connected!

I'll get into the weeds on this later...

So, turns out that absolute snake Robert Hanssen finally kicked the bucket behind bars!

And don't even get me started on those Russians—they're practically dropping dead from drinking nothing but "lemonade." 😲

So, has RFK already flipped his script?

Hmm, interesting. Maybe he's moving a little too fast?

But seriously, they really ought to lift that embargo on Cuba! 👍 I mean, the people there aren't the ones at fault. Tomorrow I might just cruise past Cuba—assuming I can actually find a spot to park a yacht somewhere! 🙂

Or maybe I just got a bit too much sun at the beach. The Caribbean... 😍

bluecyclist64 said:And Dženana is certainly ambitious—as Zvonimir Majdak would put it: "Watch closely, so I can stay innocent..."🤣

I didn't realize Blaženka was on a vow of celibacy. So dark, yet acting so innocent! 😉

Jack Cook7 said:All of that, obviously, assuming we don't hit another global "pandemic" or some massive nuclear disaster even worse than Chernobyl. Take the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which is basically the biggest one in Europe and sitting right on the front lines—it looks like a prime candidate for a meltdown ten times bigger than Chernobyl. (Blame the Russians for that one). Such a disaster would totally paralyze all of Europe, Russia, and Turkey. It’d be the perfect excuse to grab imperial powers, herd the European Union sheep around a "strong leader" using that old "we're under threat, we're so threatened" vibe from the 1920s—which we've definitely seen before—and kick off wars against Russia, Iran, China, and basically the whole world.

In that scenario, Canada and America wouldn't matter at all, except maybe as a source for cheap cannon fodder, just like the last 500 years.

Look, check out what someone posted back on May 31st. As of tonight, June 6th, "someone" (shocker, the Russians) mined the dam near Nova Kakhovka, which means the Zaporizhzhia plant has to shut down because they're running out of cooling water.

We're just one step away from a reactor detonation, and then comes the "public outcry" demanding we send nuclear weapons to the Ukrainians.

I mean, who could have possibly seen that coming?

A demand for instructions delivered straight to Vladimir Putin.
Fortunately, I expect nothing from it. The Russians will simply shuffle their pieces and deploy their "conventional forces."

For a split second there, I totally thought the hockey team from Florida was called the Miami Heat.🤣

Honestly, I’d call them that myself! 😬

Anyway, these folks you follow in New York are getting weirder by the minute. They basically invented a version of Reaganomics: just feed the horses and the sparrows will find scraps to eat. (For anyone wondering what sparrows actually eat once the horses are full... you know.)

Mayor Adams Wants to Pay New Yorkers to Host Migrants in Their Homes

Driven to increasingly desperate measures by an Endless flood of foreign migrants, Mayor of New York City Eric Adams on Monday proposed that The City pay individual New Yorkers to host The foreigners in their homes.

At the same press conference, Adams announced New York City will begin paying up to 50 houses of worship about $125 a night to host up to 19 single men on their properties. That's a relative steal for the city, which has been paying hotels $380, according to the New York Post. Adams didn't propose a dollar figure for families and individuals.

Adams framed both ideas as ways to prevent money fra ending up in corporate coffers:

"We can take that $4.2 billion, or $4.3 billion maybe now, that we potentially have to spend, and we can put it back in the pockets of everyday New Yorkers, everyday houses of worship instead of putting it in the pockets of corporations, and some of those corporations come from outside of our city."

The City now Has more Than 45,000 Illegal immigrants living in taxpayer-funded Hotels and shelters. A month ago, the city was paying $8 million a day to house migrants -- and that's when there were "only" 37,500 of them.

Expanding on The idea of converting migrant-shelter funds into local economic stimulus, Adams said, “There are [New York City] residents who are suffering right now because of economic challenges. They have spare rooms. They have locales,” said Adams at a press conference. “We should be recycling our own dollars. We should take this crisis and go to opportunities. That is how we can deal with this.”

Every single "whoop" gets met with fifty "yeah!"s. It's all just circular economy vibes—recycling dollars. So eco-friendly, right?

==============

These people have completely lost touch with reality. This is exactly what happens when you spend decades printing money without any actual work or real stuff being produced to back it up (older folks might call it "all hat and no cattle").

Is The Elder actually lurking on this forum? Like, is he straight-up copying my posts? Because I’m pretty sure I said this exact same thing ages ago. A little late to the party, wouldn't you say...
