Says who? Many of them were retired, working as contractors because they had great skills. I love how you try to downplay everything to try and raise your lack of success.
That's kind of pathetic, actually. "Gee, I have no idea how to function in the civilian world, so I'll just take this GS job hanging around the base!" I'll admit, when I got out in 92, I had a hard time adjusting. (Made harder by the fact the Poppy Bush Ratfucked the economy, which is what Republicans do best.) But I look at guys who take those contractor jobs as... kind of sad.
Sure. It doesn't take much to find out where you really live and what you do. But it's against the rules to "data mine". But it's all public information. And you have admitted to buying a wife from China, would love to know what type of business she's started with a green card and absolutely no money. But good for her if she has because that's exactly what the American dream is for, the same dream that you rally against post after post.
Which is why I specifically said the business is under my name. She just does most of the work. Nor did she have "absolutely no money". Not sure where you got that from. (She had actually been here for seven years before she met me.)
The last guy who data mined to find out who I really was got permabanned, so you probably don't want to do that.
The electoral college isn't flawed. It's designed so that 51% doesn't rule over the 49%. That's why this country isn't a straight democracy. God, you're dense.
Um, no, guy, The EC is flawed for a bunch of reasons.
1) It only enfranchises a select group of swing states. If you reside in one of the 43 non-swing states, your vote becomes meaningless. The Seven current swing states are less than 20% of the population.
2) Every time the EC has overruled the popular vote, it's been a fucking disaster. JQ Adams, Hayes, Bush, Trump. Guys who are almost always on the list of the worst presidents.
3) It gives extra votes to mostly white states. Ridiculous.
4) It perpetuates the two-party system. The EC is why a third party can never really gain any traction.
Speculation again that you somehow know everyone, ----. Anyone can speculate just like you.
Leaving out the personal family attacks you will be reported for, it's not speculation, it's recorded historical fact. The Battle of Athens happened because a bunch of returning veterans, returning to no jobs (There was a recession immediately after the War) mostly hung around bars and got drunk, and the country government alienated them by, you know, actually enforcing the laws. So they won an election against the machine, which they backed up with guns, but then when they ran the county, they ran it so badly they were voted out the next election.

The new GI government of Athens quickly encountered challenges including the re-emergence of old party loyalties.[19] On January 4, 1947, four of the five leaders of the GI Non-Partisan League declared in an open letter: "We abolished one machine only to replace it with another and more powerful one in the making."[20] The GI government in Athens eventually collapsed. Tennessee's GI political movement quickly faded and politics in the state returned to normal.[7][21] The Non-Partisan GI Political League replied to enquiries by veterans elsewhere in the United States with the advice that shooting it out was not the most desirable solution to political problems.[15]
Joseph C. Goulden, in his history of immediate post-war America, The Best Years 1945–1950, discussed the Battle of Athens, how it sparked political ex-GI movements in three other Tennessee counties, as well as other boss-ruled Southern states, led to a convention with representatives from several Southern states, and how it raised fears that veterans would resort to further violence.[18] The Battle of Athens came in the mid-1940s, when there was much concern that returning GIs would be dangerously violent. Those concerns were addressed in an opinion piece by Warden Lawes, the author of Twenty Thousand Years at Sing Sing, in a New York Times opinion piece.[22] In a newspaper column, Eleanor Roosevelt had expressed a somewhat popular opinion that GIs should be checked for violent tendencies before they were demobilized. Bill White, the leader of Athens' "fighting band", came to see her point.[4]: 38  One of the reasons the GI League collapsed was the continuing GI-related violence in McMinn County.[23][4]: 23–24  The Battle of Athens initially received criticism in the press. Coverage however quickly faded, and after Alan J. Gould, an executive with the Associated Press, told the Conference of State Directors of the Veterans Administration that the AP would try to suppress the use of the word "veteran" in conjunction with crime stories, the story of GI violence began to disappear.[24]
Conjecture you fool! This shows and proves nothing.
No need to conjecture... I've seen your posts on BLM. Also, reported for multiple attacks on my family.
