Nancy Pelosi Has Bigger Balls Than Donald Trump
Nancy Pelosi is a firecracker. The long-time politician, Congresswoman, and former House Majority leader has had enough of Donald Trump’s shit. I adore this lady.

EstalontechPublished 2 years ago in The SwampI’m Switching to the GOP and Running For President
I’m officially fed up. I’m tired of the loudest, whiniest people in politics always getting their way. They piss and moan, and complain about being “persecuted” for their religious and political beliefs.

With Americans dreaming that change begins and ends on Pennsylvania Avenue, Filmmaker Eugene Jarecki provides the real home address of its implementation and gives definition to what the word should mean to Americans thinking about living there. With the release of his new book, "The American Way of War," he said politicians need an "unrelenting mandate" from us to face down the threat President Eisenhower prophesied in his farewell address on the Military Industrial Complex.
Rich MonettiPublished 2 years ago in The Swamp"I am not a dictator, I just have a grumpy face"
The phrase from the title above is rightly attributed to the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. During his reign, he implemented a brutal regime, which was advised on economical issues by the prominent school of Chicago, a known advocate of capitalism and creator of neo-liberal ideology. His regime was praised openly by politicians like Margaret Thatcher and economists like Milton Friedman. With many neo-liberal politicians still being nostalgic of the policies of his era. Milton Friedman explained in one of his interviews that even though he is not a fan of dictatorial regimes, he called the case of Pinochet's Chile as a success story of economic reforms. While he was also organizing meetings with general Pinochet and even teaching classes at that time in Chile. A military Junta which ended 150 years of democracy and overthrew the democratically elected leader at that time,Allende . A regime that imprisoned and tortured thousands of students, politicians and artists, was implementing radical policies of a capitalist economy. And if someone is sceptical about the level of authoritarianism in Chile at that moment, remember the appalling scene of the World Cup organized Chile, next to prisons, in which political dissidents were tortured with the most barbaric of methods. With their voices of despair covered by the cheers of the crowd. Pinochet, under the influence of the free-market-oriented "Chicago Boys", implemented a capitalist economic model, with the removal of taxes for big private corporations and the privatization of social security and hundreds of state enterprises, along with the privatization of the pension system and the independence of the national central bank. Apart from that, his regime was also known for its amount of corruption between the authoritarian leadership and the private sector(Pinochet's Economists the Chicago school of economics in Chile -The Pinochet's Case, 1998). Fortunately for the people of Chile, the capitalist regime came to an end. Pinochet’s dictatorship, will be a timeless example of how a brutal regime became the favourite guinea pig for radical capitalist policies.
Sergios SaropoulosPublished 2 years ago in The SwampThe Divided States of America
I’ve been theorizing for a while now that the United States of America is never going to be united again. Or at least any time soon. I feel that a name change and some logistics may be in order soon. The Divided States of America seems more accurate and realistic here in 2022.

Javed BalochPublished 2 years ago in The SwampIt Would Take Another 9/11 Event to Unite Our Country
After spending the day with my family today and remembering this infamous date in our American history, I’ve come to the conclusion that we haven’t been as united as a nation since that infamous date. 21 years ago today, we lost 2977 United States citizens to two planes crashing into and bringing down the Twin Towers. It was fucking scary, I remember it like it was yesterday.
Jason ProvencioPublished 2 years ago in The SwampCan We Do Anything About Our Eroding Freedoms?
Freedom has been won and lost a million times over thousands of years. Small groups and large groups have attempted to define and implement freedom. Everyone you ask will assure you they can tell you what freedom is. Unfortunately, as with all things, every person has a different opinion, making a "one size fits all" definition of freedom nearly impossible. There is a plethora of components that people agree on, but no two people will ever agree on every aspect.
Bonita L PetersonPublished 2 years ago in The SwampShould Trump Run Again?
