its very tiring, Kurt Schlichter's take

It must be a conservative thing to willfully embrace the most pessimistic possible outcome with a sense of smug satisfaction in the hopelessness of it all.

I'm not a conservative or a Republican. so y'all might want to disregard my take... (but I do believe in the constitution). and I agree...

I was thinking about this the other day while at a customers home and they had some talking head from Fox News on and it seems things are so bad they have never been this bad before and if we don't do something drastic the world or at leas the U.S. will collapse... and I started thinking... my life is good in fact I'm not so sure it could be much better and I really don't know of anyone personally that has it bad....I'm sure they are out there.. most it seems live on the South Side of Chicago... but personally my life has only gotten better over time... and what future I have left looks good.

Welcome to the party. I've been saying it for years. That shit is depressing.

Now, this is not to say that we should behave as if all is well, because all is not well and everyone knows it, and it's OK to point out things which are egregious and genuinely damaging to this society, but the people who are incessantly pessimistic and who bitch constantly- no one wants to listen to that shit.

It's because Dems are in control right now. You must not have been around when Trump was in charge. In fact they still talk about him more than Joe.

It's great that your life is going great but just looking at the numbers and almost everything is worse now than before Joe took over.

Not saying I'm anybody or know that many people but I can't think of a single person whose life has been better since President Trump left office.

Groceries cost 30% more.
Gas costs 50% more.
We look weak to other countries.
Traded an arms dealer for an America hating basketball player.
Pay is the same.
Media is even more out of control.

Joe Biden. Kamala Harris. Ketanji Brown. Quite a few other leeches, too.

“Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself in to its external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the Universe to it," said Marvin.
"And what happened?" pressed Ford.
"It committed suicide," said Marvin

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

30 or more years ago I was driving home from a absolute pain in the buttocks job and I said out loud that things could not get worse... out of no where a voice (I guess it was one of the ones in my head) said, "you know Blume, you could be eating bugs in some third world prison sharing a bunk with a guy named Raoul?".....

I never said or thought that again...

Sometimes? We quit about two weeks after the 1st lockdown. Local news just plain went retarded.

Haven't been back since and much happier for it.

I walked away from the national news after the election . Can't bear to watch . I catch the headlines every now and then but I can't sit through the entire episode without screaming at the TV .

Being solely focused on doom, despair and demise is what our enemies want, don’t let them win half the battle before it begins. Things aren’t great, but keep a poker face, don’t let them see it getting to you.
