Explaining American Men's 'Electile' Dysfunction In 1 Serious Chart

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Did we just cross "the tipping point" for faith in the American dream?

 

 

Having fallen consistently from almost 90% particpation in the labor force in 1948 to just 68.5% in 2015, it appears that crossing below the 70% participation rate has pushed American men to their limit of faith in career politicians.

 Mr. Happy works just fine for me, and he knows a "gold digger" when he spots one. ;-)

funny that it actually lost much momentum under Clinton (computer/dotcom) 

Maybe our manufacturing shift overseas will leave others (our shared technology/engineering/skills/equip) with the capabilities to produce even if we bring manufacturing jobs home?   There is more specifics to this than what we know.

Do you notice you never see a "New York" poll projection of Trump vs Clinton from the media?  The secret they don't want you to know is Trump would destroy Clinton in New York, and he would probably take New Jersey too.

Do yourself and your country a favor and don't fall for the false dichotomy.  You only get to vote for who they want you to vote for.  The best thing to do is DON'T VOTE.  Don't validate a corrupt system with your vote. 

When a candidate with a proven track record of doing what he says states openly that he will absolutely follow the constitution, pardon Edward Snowden, get our military totally out of the Middle East, stop sending any more tax dollars to ANYONE in the Middle East and eliminate our role in NATO until there is a REAL threat...then I will vote again in the presidential election.

I'm telling you there is NO chance. Even if you believe the loony tunes fantasy that the people actually get to pick the president and that the president has authority over anything whatsoever, a chance to "fix the system" is no chance at all because the system does not need fixed it needs to be DESTROYED.

HAHAHA  !!!     You must be one of those fat assed "Rootin' Tootin'"Texans.  

If so....you can take that secession bullshit Rick Perry spouts off about every now and again and shove it up your ass.  You fuckwit Texans aren't going to do shit.  You haven't done shit since the Alamo.  You lost the War of Southern Independence and your not EVEN fighting the War of La Raza in your own fucking state. 

You cock diddlers elect TIME after TIME after TIME, either Democrat cunts like Ann Richards or cock sucking Corportists tools like George W. Bush and Rick Perry.

You know why Texas is so big?   There was no other place large enough to store all of the bullshit.

Here's what you do.

1:  First....download EASY YOUTUBE DOWNLOADER plug in into Firefox web browser

2:  Go to YouTube.com

3:  Look up an episode of The Apprentice where Donald Trump fires someone.  Better yet, click this link for a LOT of "Your Fired" in a row.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75SEy1qu71I

4:  Click the Download button below the video that was placed there after you installed EASY YOUTUBE DOWNLOADER plug in

5:  Save as an mp4.

6: Take that file once downloaded and load it into your favorite video editing program.

7: Then go back to YouTube and download short clips of EVERYONE in government you want fired......Nancy Pelosi.....Harry Reid.....Mitch McConnell......Paul Ryan.....etc.

8:  Take those clips and load them into your editor.

9:  Now....insert each politician's clip after each clip of Donald saying your fired.

10:  Render, save off to your favorite video codec.  Use MPEG 2 if you want to burn a DVD for playback on your TV

11:  Then enjoy watching Donald Trump fire all of those politicians any time you want.

 

Because that's the only way you'll ever see it happen....no matter if he wins or loses.

To all you Trump-tards out there.   Trump is merely a sympton of the disease infecting America.  Trump is the ultimate symbol of the blow off top in American Politics.  Regardless of whether he wins or loses, this is the last gasp of America as we know it.  The people are fucking sick of the Bankster Party (Republicans) and their intentional aim at holllowing out the Middle Class.  But the electorate is too stupid to understand that the Hillary Bernie Rodham Sanders Party (Democrats) is not the answer.

Trump is the last protest.  Then the door is shut.....the cage is locked.....the noose is tightened.  The Iron Curtain of NWO Banksterdom and their hoard of cheap illegal immigrant labor and brain dead Republican and Democrat sycophants will be the order of the day.

  It's HOW you pick yourself up that matters.

 It's better to have "tried and failed", then to never have tried, in the first place.

 Being broke is a temporary situation... Being POOR, is a " state of mind".

Quick, Holllywood! Invent some more Caitlyn-like schemes to further diminish the male population. If they can just get enough teen age males on estrogen, they may continue to loot freely.

That is why cans and plastics contain estrogen. But Foolywood has certainly helped to portray it as normal.
Voila! Sissy effeminate men and boys that are confused who think it's normal to wear skinny girl jeans.
Of course the FDA says BPA is safe. Pediatric endocrinologists disagree. So do most other first world countries. Im just guessing but I bet they don't have the problems with erectile dysfunction , either.

Things won't change until the FED is ended. I've watched how DC changes my politicians, they get paid off after arrival. It doesn't matter how smart the voter thinks they are.

Christ. The Fed is a symptom of a larger illness. Abolishing it will not be nearly enough to cure the disease. Get over it, the system CANNOT be fixed. That's because it isn't broken. It functions exactly as intended. It's purpose is to concentrate wealth and power into the hands of the few, and it accomplishes that with stunning efficiency. The Fed is nothing more than a tool towards that end. Dump it and another tool will simply be employed. We need to DESTROY the system, not continue trying to fix it.

Still not sure why 'term limits' is not even a topic of discussion. Sure it would take pressure of the people to force that on them. It would solve a lot of this insider millionaire golden parachute bs that we give the traitors, who consider themselves above us, in congress.

While Trump's wealth makes him more independent compared to his rivals, he alone is also taking on the Globalist Agenda of Muslim Migration, Political Correctness,

Multiple Vaccines, gun grabs, Bush's failure during 9-11 and Hillary and Obamas role in creating ISIS.

While the latest Gallup Poll rated Federal Government Corruption as the biggest problem by 75% polled, I believe Trump's War on the Globalist Agenda spewed by Obama and the MSM is the main reason for his wild popularity.

Americans are so sick of the media cramming down our throats the Globalist Agenda that attemps to shame us if we are not politically correct that Trump is exposing.

I believe Trump's War on the Globalist Agenda spewed by Obama and the MSM is the main reason for his wild popularity.

I don't doubt that. But I'm also sure that when Trump was bragging how he got along with both parties, he would do that as president. That means going along to get along.

Words count for nothing during a political campaign. When a politician talks, he doesn't tell you what he believes; he tells you what he wants you to believe.
