To be fair to him; he sees ICE as cops, and he sees cops as legal executioners.

Have you ever heard the poem "The Hangman" by Maurice Ogden?

They shot him AFTER they took his gun, which was never in his hands.
If this is enough to get killed over, everyone who carries a gun now has
a target on their head.

Trump is giving the next Democrat president SO MUCH to crack down on you.
Complete immunity, to beat you to submission and kill you if you protest,
by putting a bloodthirsty revenge force in your red areas. 100% justified!



By Ananas2xLekker 29,Jan,26 11:30
OK, sorry to hear that. Take care.

However, you still have enough energy to comment about it,
so I can only infer that you don't WANT to know. Or, we need to conclude
that you love us so much, that you can't miss us for a moment.

In any case, the rest of the country saw it, and is FED UP.
It can be something like this, that results in the end of a regime.
It's definitely showing cracks, even you cannot avoid that reality.

How many times did Trump verbally attack Ilhan Omar? At least dozens of times.
How many times did Biden verbally attack Charlie Kirk? Even once?
How many times did ANY Democrat verbally attack Charlie Kirk?
You still blamed Democrats for Kirk's murder, so don't be daft.

Do I need to remind you about Kyle Rittenhouse?

Trump let the first warning drop, that he wants to kill the 2nd amendment.
“You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns. You can’t do that.”
When he becomes afraid of the people, he will take what you care about the most.
OMG, will I laugh my ass off, when that happens.

What your president has turned loose everywhere,
is much worse than crime has ever gotten.

You have turned your country into a police state.
You have not beaten crime, nor achieved any safety,
you have sacrificed freedom for the idea of safety.
The crimes are now committed by your government.
All because you are unable to learn from history,
because this happened many times before, by people's own choice.

That's how Republicans advertise themselves. Less regulation can certainly
make building cheaper, but Republicans are also cutting regulation that restricts scamming and fraud, which makes building more expensive.

Your example is very narrow. Most people do not build their own houses, especially not in the big expensive cities we were talking about. They don't build with lumber there, they build with concrete.

Big cities are a whole different situation, where regulation against building monopolies, which Republicans love to cut, resulting in companies exploiting
their monopolies, making construction more expensive.

Bill Maher was talking about middlemen inspectors, contractors, lawyers, lobbyists, labor unions, consulting, that nobody in America anymore knows what the fuck they are doing. That is the result of CAPITALISM. I didn't talk about Democrats or Republicans, because both sides are slaves to capitalism, except for a small minority of democratic socialists. Both parties have maximized profits for the wealthy over serving the public's needs. Republicans give the wealthy full playroom to scam and exploit you, while Democrats put in some regulation to prevent the houses they build from collapsing. Of course they take money from lobbyists too, that force people to use specialists, rather than building themselves, but it's not intended just to make things more difficult. It's stupid to think that.
They do have a tendency for bureaucracy, but that's only a tiny bit of the reason
for why houses are so expensive. The main reason is that the goal is to extract
as much money as possible from normal people and put it in the pockets of the wealthy. Until you start understanding that, and join the fight against it, it will continue.

it's more than that. Wall Street is considered a great evil by Islamic fundamentalists.
The Quran explicitly forbids the practices that make certain types of investing risky or unethical. It does not name the "stock market" itself, as it did not exist 1,400 years ago, but the verses provide the ethical framework.

These are the specific prohibitions from the Quran that apply:

- Riba (Prohibition of Interest): This is the most direct and important prohibition.
The ban on interest is clearly established in several verses:
Quran 2:275: "...But God has permitted trade and forbidden usury [interest, Riba]." This verse clearly distinguishes between legitimate, risk-based trade (which includes approved investments) and guaranteed, exploitative interest income.
Quran 3:130: Calls on believers not to take "doubled and multiplied" interest.

- Maisir (g@mbling): The concept of g@mbling, which excludes modern speculation, is also forbidden:
Quran 5:90: “O you who have believed! Intoxicants and g@mbling [Maisir]... are abomination from the work of Satan; so avoid them...” This is used to prohibit excessive, high-risk trading.
Gharar (Uncertainty): The requirement for clear contracts and the avoidance of uncertainty is a general principle derived from the Quranic emphasis on fairness and justice in transactions.

They already hate America for constantly attacking them for their oil, so when they attack you back, they will find something that represents America's "evil" the most.

YOU are turning into a minority.
'Them' all bought guns in the meantime.
'Them' are all much smarter than you.
It will end up with you losing.

Did you hear any generals cheering for Pete Hegseth?
If looks could kill, little Pete would have burned like the demon he is.
Those generals are waiting for Trump to make the first move
and then they will wipe out all those traitors in an hour.

They didn't become generals by being as stupid as you people.
They understand the real meaning of The Constitution.
They won't kill Americans for your traitor and his billionaire friends.
It will be a bloodbath, but a short and decisive one, in which you will lose.

You see one word "twist" and you didn't even read the context.
Still too dumb to come up with an actual argument.
At least phart came up with something.

It is all clear as day, but you just want to believe in a topsy-turvy world.
The problem with a belief is that you cannot argue for it.

Democrat run states are just as much capitalist.
You think of them as "socialists", but they are not.
At least most of them are not. Many are corporate whores.
Not as much as Republicans are corporate whores, but still.

Here is why Democratic cities or cities in Democrat run states are so expensive:

High-demand cities become expensive. The most expensive cities tend to be:
- Coastal
- Economically productive
- Highly educated
- Globally connected

Think NYC, SF, Boston, Seattle, DC, LA.

These places attract:
- High-paying industries (finance, tech, media, biotech)
- Large numbers of college graduates
- Immigrants and young professionals
Those demographics overwhelmingly vote Democratic, so once a city gets rich, dense, and educated, it almost inevitably becomes blue.

You are inverting the cause. It's not that Democrat cities become expensive,
it's that high-demand, expensive cities BECOME BLUE.

Right-wing dumb-asses can't afford it and move out.
Highly educated successful liberals move in.

Why don't you like college graduates, immigrants and young professionals?
BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE LIBERALS! Your own ideology proves me right.

Examples:
- Austin, Texas: high-demand, expensive, blue city in a red area
- Santa Fe, New Mexico: Expensive housing, artsy, affluent, very blue, in a red area
- Missoula, Montana: Blue college town, high housing costs in a deep-red region
- Jackson, Wyoming: Extremely expensive, votes Democratic locally, surrounded by one of the reddest states in the country.

As of the most recent reports in January 2026, Dallas Pokornik remains in federal custody. The case is still pending, and trial proceedings are expected to continue, with reports noting he is set to face trial in March 2026 (based on available reporting).

Morgan Freeman has indeed communicated this idea often.
This was his way of emphasizing what some call a “color‑blind” approach to race,
the idea that if we stopped highlighting racial categories in everyday interactions,
racial divisions could diminish over time. He is not a representative for most black people in the US. This contrasts with the majority view among Black Americans, who see racism as both systemic and structural, requiring active attention and solutions.

You're making an "appeal to authority" fallacy. The reasoning goes like:
“Morgan Freeman says stop talking about race → therefore, that is the best way
to reduce racism.”
It’s fallacious because his celebrity status does not confer special insight into
systemic sociology.

I think it's just an argument from people who want people to stop talking about racism.
The reality is that racism is reemerging in alarming ways, more openly than in previous decades, making silence both unrealistic and dangerous.

Ignoring race doesn’t make racism disappear. It can hide inequalities,
invalidate experiences, maintain the status quo, and erase cultural identity.
Real change requires acknowledging race, while addressing inequities.

No, dumb-ass, he is explaining CAPITALISM!!!
Lots of people, making lots of money, from your need to live under a roof.
People making money is good, until it starts hurting the actual goal.
The goal of building houses is to put a roof over your head, not making people RICH.
However, if you let capitalism go unchecked, that twists everything in that one goal.
That's NOT fraud, that is the direct result of the politics that YOU support.

All these costs he is listing are the result of CAPITALISM:
- Middlemen inspectors (Private companies, hired by buyers, sellers, or lenders)
- Contractors (Private companies)
- Lawyers (Private companies)
- Lobbyists (To protect the profits of big private companies)
- Labor unions (To prevent exploitation by private companies)
- His favorite: Consulting (Private companies making big bucks for advice)

"Nobody in America anymore knows what the fuck they are doing."
No, because you kicked out all knowledgeable PUBLIC servants,
and replaced them with the fore-mentioned PRIVATE businesses.

Yes, REALITY is wonderful thing, isn't it?



By Ananas2xLekker 28,Jan,26 03:06
You/they are linking one fact with another. The fact that New York lost 78,000 residents
is not surely related with taxes going up. It is confusing CORRELATION with CAUSATION.
There are also lots of working class people moving out of New York, because they cannot afford to live there anymore. That's NOT because of taxes, that's because of capitalism making their houses and the cost of living ridiculously expensive. It's up to the people to vote for a major, who represents the idea of which people are allowed to live in a city.
Do the people want just wealthy people able to live in New York, or should working class people be able to live there too? The result is tax policy that might turn away some wealthy people, but WILL make it more affordable for the working class people.

That $24.5 billion figure isn't applicable. This refers to net adjusted gross income
moving out of the state, not the loss in taxes for the state.

If you look at the taxes that New York collected, there is NO decline:
2014-15: ~$43.7 B
2015-16: ~$47.1 B
2016-17: ~$47.6 B
2017-18: ~$51.5 B
2018-19: ~$48.1 B
2019-20: ~$53.7 B
2020-21: ~$53.7 B
2021-22: ~$55.0 B
2022-23: ~$58.8 B
2023-24: ~$53.8 B
2024-25: ~$61.2 B

Do you see a drop op $24.5 billion there?

It's just political actors trying to prove their idea, with data manipulation.
There is certainly a movement of people trying to avoid taxes.
But you forget that taxes ALSO move, in relation to people and business.
Poor states are trying to lure business with low taxes.
But when that results in more business, they can raise taxes again.
New York can raise taxes, because they have lots of business.
They have the luxury to raise taxes, without it affecting tax income.
When a state uses the higher taxes for the benefit of the working class,
those people are able to improve themselves AND improve the economy,
which in turn will increase the return in taxes for the state too.

Your thinking is completely fixed on the idea that wealthy people create wealth.
That's not true; the working class creates wealth and the wealthy just siphon it off.

The top 1% richest households in the US own approximately $50 Trillion to $52 Trillion. What wealth have they created for you lately? Do Americans have better healthcare, education, public transport, childcare, and overall quality of life, created by that top 1%?

You don’t need a green card, visa, or even to live in the US to buy property in the US.

In most countries, non-citizens can buy property. I can buy a home in Italy,
use it a week per year and rent it out to who ever I want the rest of the year.

Still, restrictions are very common, such as:
Limits on land vs apartments (e.g. foreigners can buy condos but not land).
Approval requirements or government permits.
Caps on how much or where foreigners can buy.
Extra taxes or fees for non-citizens.

In this case, I indeed didn't know anything.
Like I said, I just asked ChatGPT.



By Ananas2xLekker 24,Jan,26 09:23
ChatGPT didn't agree with you. Take it for what it's worth, which is not a lot, because you're not taking it anymore:

Short answer: **No — that explanation is largely false and mixes a few half-truths with outright misinformation.** Let’s unpack it cleanly.

---
## What’s wrong in that statement

### 1. **Creatine does NOT require 75 g of glucose to work**
* Creatine uptake into muscle is **not dependent on a massive insulin spike**.
* Insulin can *slightly* enhance creatine transport, but **normal meals already provide enough insulin**.
* Research shows creatine works perfectly well **with water alone**.

👉 You do **not** need 75 g of glucose (that’s ~300 calories of sugar) for creatine to be effective.

---
### 2. **More expensive creatine ≠ better creatine**
* The gold standard is **creatine monohydrate**.
* It’s cheap, stable, and extremely well-researched.
* Added glucose does **not** make it higher quality — it just makes it a carb supplement plus creatine.

If anything, “expensive creatine with tons of sugar” is often **marketing fluff**.

---
### 3. **Creatine is NOT injected**
This is a big red flag.
* Creatine is taken **orally** (powder, capsule).
* There is **no standard or legitimate practice of injecting creatine**.
* The body absorbs creatine through the gut → bloodstream → muscles.

If someone says “inject creatine,” they either misspoke badly or don’t understand the topic.

---
### 4. **Creatine doesn’t directly “repair muscles”**
Creatine:
* Increases **phosphocreatine stores**
* Improves **short-burst power output**
* Allows **more reps, heavier loads**
* Indirectly supports muscle growth by improving training quality

It does **not** directly repair muscle tissue like protein or calories do.

---
### 5. **Insulin spikes that big are unnecessary and often counterproductive**
* 75 g of glucose daily just for creatine can:
* Add unnecessary fat
* Spike blood sugar
* Be harmful for insulin sensitivity (especially long-term)

Top athletes absolutely do **not** rely on sugar bombs just to make creatine work.

---
## What’s actually true (the real science)
✅ Creatine monohydrate works on its own
✅ Taking it with meals is sufficient
✅ Insulin *can* help uptake slightly, but normal eating covers this
✅ No glucose minimum exists
✅ No injection required
✅ Cheap creatine is just as effective

---
## Bottom line
That explanation is **scientifically incorrect** and includes:
* A fake glucose requirement
* A misunderstanding of insulin
* A false claim about injection
* Confusion about muscle repair

"taxation without representation"?
A large majority of Americans support higher taxes for the wealthy.

"If you have propety there,you sell it" To someone who doesn't care about taxes?

The wealthy get income from ownership, not wages. You can't just move that.
If they get income from stocks, the state doesn't get taxes from that anyway.

An article online says "Larry Page has apparently left California personally and moved to states such as Florida — including buying high-value property there — amid the debate over a proposed California billionaire wealth tax."
So there is just a DEBATE, and he gives that as a reason. That's just nonsense. So he bought property in Florida and he sold it in California? How is that a loss to California? Some other wealthy person will own that property.

If more states are raising taxes on the wealthy, others will follow, because it's easy revenue. You can have a race to the bottom, until the wealthy pay no taxes at all, or you chose to reverse it. Stop cucking to the wealthy.

Did you research the sources of the protein in the supplement?
And did you check that they contained all essential amino acids?

Often it's just whey protein, a byproduct of cheese-making, which they had
lots of trouble selling, until they marketed the shit out of protein products.

The body can create creatine itself, but they say it helps produce energy for short, intense bursts of activity. Think of it as a rapid fuel reserve for your muscles and brain. If you work out vigorously, I can imagine it would help.

There are already states with lower taxes than New York, so why are there still
so many there?

They don't have to LIVE there to tax them. They have income and property
in New York, so Mamdani can tax that income and property. They cannot divest from New York, because Wall Street is there. If they do, someone else just buys it.

It's a bullshit argument, made up to create a race to the bottom for their taxes.
FUCK THEM, start a race of their taxes upwards.

And the EU pushed back by threatening with the 'trade bazooka'.
Meanwhile, your dollar is falling harder and harder, because several countries'
Central Banks are dumping U.S. Treasuries, because they consider Trump a risk

"Higher taxes on high-income earners and large corporations".

High-income earners and large corporations are leaching off the labor
of the working class. I am very much supportive of taxing them more
to get back some of the benefits of that labor.
Your own history shows that to benefit the whole of society.

The federal corporate income tax rate for large corporations in the U.S. was progressive, but the top statutory rate was 48% for much of the early 1970s.
The federal individual income tax was extremely high for the top earners.
Early 1970s (1970–1972), the top marginal rate was 71%.

That's what we got EU-regulations for. However, the maximum allowed lead content for food is much lower than for food supplements. If protein powder is considered
a food supplement, it would possibly be risky to use that in large quantities.
Products like protein bars and protein shakes are considered food in the EU,
not food supplements, so they should be safe.

I think the whole protein hype is nonsense. Our consumer information program "Keuringsdienst van waarde" (Inspection service of value) researched it and they conclude that almost everyone gets enough protein in their food. Only top athletes might benefit from same extra.

Healthy diets don't make anyone sissified and weak.
You're making a "Correlation–causation fallacy".
You are correct in thinking that sissy/weak men care about their health more,
but you are reversing the logic. It's not the healthy food that made them sissy/weak,
it's being sissy/weak that makes men care about their health.
Together with the manly culture of meat and BBQ, that makes you relate unhealthy food with "real men" and healthy food with "sissy/weak" men. That's irrational thinking.

Understand that there is lots of marketing behind the idea of manly men. They advertise it with a big hairy man, on his ranch, cutting up a dead animal, putting it on the grill, in a leather apron, covered in smoke, drinking beer, with his mates. And for a while, that's all a lot of fun, good eating, good times. But if that makes you eat unhealthy everyday, you end up fat, out of breath, with diminished heart function from blocked arteries, elevated cholesterol and hypertension, requiring medication with side-effects, possibly turning diabetic, and all medical bills associated with it. It was all very manly for a while, but it can turn that big burly man into a weakling, who cannot do his job anymore and probably dies before his retirement.
Is it manly, when he leaves his wife without his income and lots of medical debt?

Studies show that top athletes perform much better on a fully plant based diet, than on meat, even high quality unprocessed meat that is considered healthy. It takes more effort to balance a plant based diet, to compensate for some deficiencies (only Vitamin B12 cannot be compensated without supplements), but then it provides the body with a much more complete source of nutrients. It opens up all the arteries to utilize the full power of the heart, which make top athletes perform their best.

Actually that manly American food culture turns people malnourished.
All those jiggly asses you see walking around are STARVING for vitamins (Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Carotenoids), minerals (Potassium, Magnesium), fiber, anti-oxidants, healthy fatty acids, complex carbohydrates, prebiotics & gut-supporting compounds. They're not strong and tough, they're dying.

Of course, I'm not turning this knowledge into full practice. I still eat meat (but a bit less), because I like it. A long healthy life is not worth a lot, if you need to suffer every day to achieve it. I have no interest in sports, I just don't want to suffer illness and die young. That requires a healthIER diet and some exercise. That's not much of a sacrifice. A well-balanced diet is much more interesting than only hamburgers and steaks. I like variety and eating food from all over the world. Especially Asian countries have developed a diet that is both healthy and great in taste and variety.

“Variety’s the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavour.” — William Cowper

New York is PRIME REAL ESTATE. Every square foot is fought over by rich people working in Wall Street and real estate speculators, who drive the prices up to ridiculous heights. These are CAPITALIST excesses. The failure of New York Democrats is that they were corporate centrists, who allowed that capitalism to drive out working class citizens from their own city, because they couldn't afford it anymore.

Still, those Democrats did some things to keep rent prices from not escalating to even more ridiculous levels. Do you think that Republicans would have done anything?
Of course not, they would call that 'socialism' or 'communism'.

There are no capitalist solutions to a capitalist problem.
That's why the working class in New York voted for Zohran Mamdani.
