Because we are clearly on the downward slope. I’m thinking 1985 or 1986 . Peace and prosperity. Economy doing well. Leftists hadn't yet realized racial issues needed to be re stoked. The Carter gloom was lifted. The american dream was alive and well with 18-25 year olds. You could still smoke on airplanes.

Now it’s hide in your basement, hammer a government check, and don’t come out until a generic lawyer tells you to.

    Good point. Back then I had to find it on the side of the road by chance.

    No need to call nasty names. Sheesh.

    That was still petty solid year. But I’m going to have to say no. If you’d have said 1990 i’d be on board. 1991 Rodney king took the beat down and fucked things up. Plus GHB prove to be a eunuch. Also started dumb wars that we are still pretending are necessary for our “freedom”

    No natty in 1990 though and first Gulf War was not dumb.

    - no nation building
    - Japan picked up the tab
    - No fracking back then so peak oil and ME supply was a legit concern

    1985 or 86 was not peace. Cold War was still going skrong.

    Bush 41 was good President who got fucked by Ross Perot loving dip shits. The country was poised to do great under a 2nd term of his. Fuck Bill.

    2024 when Ivanka takes over.

    The Throbber happens to think America's best days are in front of it. Why not? Strongest military in the world, generally a non-oppressive system of government (sans the last month), freedoms not enjoyed elsewhere in the world, good looking bitches, great economic opportunities.

    AND free porn.

    USA! USA! USA!



    Ivanka does not have REAL joobs. HTH.

    The cold war wasn't a war. It was arguing. USSR was in the ropes.

    It was 1990 was the last time we had peace.

    She married into them and then seized the day.

    Just like the USA is going to do knocking the shit out of China in the next couple years.
