U.S. To Owe More Than The Size Of Its Economy For The 1st Time In 75 Years

Congressional forecasters expect the federal deficit to reach $3.3 trillion during the current fiscal year. By 2023, government debt will reach an all-time high of 107% of GDP.

The pandemic is taking a big toll on the government's bottom line.

The federal government's accumulated debt burden is projected to be larger than the overall economy next year for the first time since 1946. Debt is expected to reach an all-time high of 107% of gross domestic product in 2023.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office expects the deficit to reach $3.3 trillion in the fiscal year ending this month. That's about 16% of GDP — a level not seen since the end of World War II in 1945.

Former DHS Official: Trump Pouring 'Fuel On The Fire' Of Domestic Extremism

Elizabeth Neumann, a former assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, says the Trump administration is creating the conditions for domestic extremism to flourish in the U.S.
www.npr.org www.npr.org
For Neumann, this was an obvious red herring. She says that the numbers don't bear out the idea that left-wing violence is as much of a problem as right-wing violence, and arrests during the summer's protests demonstrate that.

"If you look at the people that have been arrested for that, by and large, I mean, it's the boogaloo movement or it's an association with QAnon. It's the right side of the spectrum. It is not antifa." She's unequivocal about this: "The threat of domestic terrorism is not from antifa. It is from these right-wing movements."

Oh look, a senior DHS official acknowledging once again what the evidence has been showing since forever.

And backs up the reporting from here, too:

Trump Administration Promise to Focus on Extremism Remains Unfulfilled (Published 2020)

A year after the Department of Homeland Security promised to focus more on violent extremism, the plan to carry out that shift remains hidden while the atmosphere worsens.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com
The Department of Homeland Security started an effort a year ago this month to address domestic terrorism, white nationalist threats and other acts of homegrown violence, a major shift for an agency created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to protect the country from foreign terrorism.

Instead, a new crop of Department of Homeland Security leaders, led by the confrontational acting secretary, Chad F. Wolf, appear to be doing the opposite of what had been promised. Far from cooperating with local governments and citizens to combat domestic unrest, particularly from the far right, they have joined President Trump in lashing out at American mayors and governors while deploying federal tactical teams to cities — often expressly against the wishes of the local governments with which they had pledged to cooperate.

The Escalating Terrorism Problem in the United States

The United States faces a growing terrorism problem that will likely worsen in the next year, particularly around the 2020 presidential election. The most significant threat likely comes from white supremacists, though anarchists and religious extremists could also pose a threat.
www.csis.org www.csis.org
In 14 of the 21 years between 1994 and 2019 in which fatal terrorist attacks occurred, the majority of deaths resulted from right-wing attacks. In eight of these years, right-wing attackers caused all of the fatalities, and in three more—including 2018 and 2019—they were responsible for more than 90 percent of annual fatalities. Therefore, while religious terrorists caused the largest number of total fatalities, right-wing attackers were most likely to cause more deaths in a given year.

Another completely false narrative. I hope you realize that you are responsible for exposing the truth about all these things. I wouldn't be dropping facts if you hadn't pushed your propaganda.

  • You have to be very out of the loop to not know the scale and damage of the violent riots which have been happening in so many cities for the last 100 days.
  • Most of the left-wing rioters are never arrested even if they murder someone.
  • There is lots of evidence that QAnon violence is a false flag and zero evidence that QAnon condones violence.
  • There is a huge amount of evidence that Antifa encourages violence, I've even posted some in this thread.
  • The guy who executed a Trump supporter a few days ago even said himself that he was "Antifa" according to the original report. The MSM reported that he was "Anti Fascist" to cover it up. Democrats dropped all charges against him.
  • To date, there is an order of magnitude more recorded attacks from left-wing extremists and rioters compared to anything right-wing

Maybe someone will whisper to them one day that antifa isn't an organisation. But I guess people who believe in the snake oil they sell don't really care either way. It's the fear mongering that's the point.

More propaganda. Sorry to have to break it to you, but history exists, and it shows that Antifa is a well funded terrorist organization which was founded in the 1930s. You're not going to be happy when you find out who it was founded by. You should probably stop spreading all this fake news, I know you aren't liking the inconvenient truths about the reality of these topics.

You should stop doing it then. Self-hate isn't healthy.

Be well.

Back to straight up lying. You spend a lot of time projecting.

Go ahead and prove that even one claim I have made is wrong. You can't do it, so instead you just lie and deny. You have really made a fool out of yourself.

I've reported you for all the propaganda spam and lies. I doubt MyBB mods will care, but maybe they are actually rational good people, since they did ban Tyson already.

You Googled it but somehow didn't manage to figure out that this pixelated Facebook brain picture is entirely dishonest? Weird.

Did California Pass a Law Protecting Pedophiles Who Rape Children?

A bill signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom leaves the decision whether individuals convicted of particular sex crimes involving minors must register as sex offenders to the discretion of the court.

I must say that that bill is does have merit to level the playing field for all.

E.g:

This distinction in the law — which is irrational, at best — disproportionately targets LGBT young people for mandatory sex offender registration, since LGBT people usually cannot engage in vaginal intercourse.

For example, if an 18 year old straight man has vaginal intercourse with his 17 year old girlfriend, he is guilty of a crime, but he is not automatically required to register as a sex offender; instead, the judge will decide based on the facts of the case whether registration is warranted.

By contrast, if an 18 year old gay man has sex with his 17 year old boyfriend, the judge *must* place him on the sex offender registry, no matter what the circumstances.

Facts are more important than emotions...for both the Left and the Right.

Trump actively encouraging voter fraud. Not a parody

Trump encourages North Carolina residents to vote twice to test mail-in system

The president said it would be a way to check whether anti-fraud efforts are "as good as they say."


"So let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system's as good as they say it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated, they'll be able to vote," Trump said when asked whether he has confidence in the mail-in system in North Carolina, a battleground state.

"If it's as good as they say it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated, they'll be able to vote. So that's the way it is. And that's what they should do," he said.

It is illegal to vote more than once in an
