I have heard that phrase since the day I was born. Yet, I never really heard it defined or understood exactly what that is supposed to be? America is not the only country in the world that is considered free. Supposedly, both Americans and people around the world want to live "The American Dream." 

What exactly is that?

For people living in **** countries:
To live in America.

For people here already:
Opportunity to succeed.

How'd I do?

So-so. But any country next to a ****-hole country looks like paradise. 

This made me laugh! It appears the definition has changed considerably over the years.

The American Dream is the belief that success and a better life are achievable for anyone through hard work and determination, regardless of their background or circumstances. While originally tied to tangible goals like owning a home and material prosperity, the definition has evolved to include personal fulfillment, balance, and the opportunity for individual self-realization and human flourishing. It is a deeply ingrained national ethos promising that everyone can achieve their "fullest stature" through freedom and opportunity.

The older version is pretty much a bunch of **** as few obtain that level of success. The new version just adds some psychosis.

The American Dream is having your entire portfolio in inverse ETFs and short positions when the Ponzi collapses

Yes...nightmares are still categorized as dreams.

Nothing wrong with big dreams as long as it doesn't leave you destitute.
 

Lately it's a psycho nightmare.

We have been dumbed down to being nearly brain dead zombies. Red Hats vote for shyt everytime.

The Constitution was a big part of the expirement. It seems to have failed.

Yeah, kids only got one doll last Christmas.  Now Mom and Dad need to take a an equity loan to get one, and their three kids have to share it,,

Maybe I am biased. We are getting slammed with increases here in MD.. Property Tax, Homeowners Insurance. 15$ lunches to go out for crappy tasteless food.

I won't put all the blame on MAGA.. The destruction of America is a bipartisan effort.

An economic depression will leave passive buy-and-hold-forever normies destitute for sure

The oligarch lions are going to gobble up all the gazelles, but yeah, everyone has to run like mad.

Interesting that mid west farmers are getten eaten alive by policy.. Foreclosing on the farm and JD Vance sells it to the highest bidder on the planet on Acre Trader. The farmers bought MAGA, now they can't even afford a Toyota.  Iowa and Nebraska are nearly destitute.  All the Republican candidates know they'll be looking for a job and giving up staying in their office.

I tend to do call options, mostly for fun. I don't put in a lot; just enough to keep it interesting. It is nothing but gambling now. The house will always win in the long run, due to the short and naked sellers. I try to just get what I can before the house strikes. 

All the workers at The Hyundai Plant in Pooler GA were rounded up and checked today. The Evil Construction Workers Gang was pulled off the job.

Pay more for that car. It'll kill the jobs at that factory. South Korea is pretty pissed. They have a lot off people here making the plant go so Americans can push a button over and over for 40K a year.
 
 

I Like....

The Constitution.

Do you know what you like?

A product of ET?? A Cannibis Strain?

And not having a POTUS that rigs the election to win and paranoidally complains everything is rigged, corrupted, and conflicted.

He is looking for every way he can stop  the 2026 Vote.  Who's freaking American Nightmare is that? Project 2025's?

Transparency about the failed Seal Team 6 Mission in North Korea in 2019 is an American Pipe Dream.

They swam out of the sub to shore. A boat showed up with a searchlight. They blew it up and everybody on board. Rumor is they were fishermen.

Failed attempt. Seal Team 6 went back to the sub and went home. How Joe never found out, or maybe he wisely didn't leak it.. is interesting.

6 years ago, and Trump kept his Jimmy Carter Helicopter Mission a secret. Amazing!

Somehow I think Trump will have trouble sleeping tonight. Let alone perchance to dream.

22,000 jobs added is phooking miserable. Whaever dreams we have, it's heading to  a Freddie Kruger nightmare on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

What's the difference between a row boat and a robot?  Nothing for Melania.. They are the same thing. No wonder she got an Einstein Visa.

I didn't say there wasn't a Liberian Dream or a Bulgarian Dream.
You asked a specific question, sir.
