  1. Worst, most incompetent presidents in my lifetime:

    1. Sleepy Creepy Joe Biden. Worst ever. Look around. It’s not even close and obvious if you don’t live under a rock. FJB.

    2. George W. Bush the lesser. Iraq, Afghanistan, economic meltdown, housing crash, gas was $4+. Dumb as a bag of nails and arrogant; a dangerous combination that deeply hurt the country.

    3. Lyndon Johnson. Vietnam debacle and his Great Society program institutionalized welfare.

    4. Jimmy Carter. Iran humiliated his weakness and fecklessness for 444 days. Interest rates at 18%+.

    5. Richard Nixon destroyed integrity in, and universal respect for government with his paranoid break in at Watergate. Partisan politics became more vicious and personal.

    Best POTUS: Reagan, Trump, Obama, GHW Bush the greater, Clinton (he was lucky, very lucky to be set up for success by dot com revolution and cheap gas from Kuwait because of GHW Bush).

    Today’s gem of political wisdom: Democracy sucks. Just not as bad as all the other political systems. At least we get to vent and argue, and that’s fun. USA, USA, USA.

    Hardhat…check. Ballistic vest….check. Hockey pads…..check. Haz/mat suit…..check. OK, I’m ready, eviscerate me.

      • Not sure… It could be the former crackhead son of the current President of the US… Orrrrr, might be the same former crackhead that you guys are all believing when he spouts about conspiracies that his own tech outright disprove (over and over again) and getting sued for literally billions of dollars… When he’s not selling pillows, that is.

  4. There was a big rally today and he was telling lies to his followers.

    No. that wasn’t Trump.

    It was Putin.

    Putin and Trump, separated at birth.

    • Vladimir Putin is an idiot like Joe Biden. Putin is so weak that he reminds me of Mussolini and will run when he gets his tail handed to him someday! If Europe would get their courage before he attacks them then he might think twice to mess with the rest of the World. Europe did not learn from WWII and are still back stabbing chickens.

      • Dave, Dave, you dumb sh!t. You are so brainwashed, you don’t know which way is up. Pathological denial is so convenient to Democrats.

        Hunter and Joe took bribes and are both owned lock, stock and barrel by Russia and China. They are both dangers and vulnerabilities to our national security. You can snivel and lie all you want, it won’t change the facts and proof contained in Hunter’s laptop.

        Everyone who has been denying the laptop was real has no credibility left. NADA!

        • Guess what, America’s Most gullible, the courts don’t agree. The provenance of the “Hunter Biden laptop” is an absolute joke and it has been summarily dismissed. It ‘convinced’ Hannity and the slavish dittoheads of Fox, but absolutely no one else.

          Try again, with credible evidence.

          Reply

          • There’s a grand jury looking into it now. Hunter just took a $1 million loan to pay back taxes from his bribes from Russia and China. Hunter himself has admitted the laptop was his. All this has serious implications to our national security.

            Between Durham and this grand jury, the Democrats will be scandalized for generations, because it will come out that Joe is owned by China and they can blackmail him.

            Waiting for the next shoe to drop. Patience and popcorn.

          • It probably was not worth reading anyway. Bottom line, 99% of all the drivel you spew about Biden is just sewage from the Fox pipeline and based on this laptop that is just as likely to be a fake as not…more likely really…and since the info comes from Fox and they never say where it came from it is probable that you don’t even know where the laptop came from. However, the courts do which is why the courts have uniformly dismissed it…and you should also.

            Fox and Hannity never will, just like they still scream the same tired lies about Benghazi, along with all their other greatest hits. As long as gullible people like you watch and repeat the lies they are never going to have any interest in telling the truth.

          • Tim:

            “It probably was not worth reading anyway.”

            So, we agree on something, lolol. And that relates to all my posts.

            Regards my friend.

          • “Guess what, America’s Most gullible, the courts don’t agree. The provenance of the “Hunter Biden laptop” is an absolute joke and it has been summarily dismissed”

            This is all entirely false, read paragraph 24 in the above mentioned piece from New York Times.
            That rag you guys have been taking as gospel for years.

          • There is a substantial stretch of time when the laptop in question was not in Hunter Biden’s possession. There is really no way to account for what data comes from Hunter Biden and what what data comes from other sources. That is just a flat out fact.

            The usefulness of the laptop in an investigation is that it points to possibilities, and the investigation has a direction. Some of the directions pan out.

            For example, there was a shortage in taxes. The question remains open whether that was intentional, but the back taxes have been paid. The RWNJs are of course screaming fraud, which is as yet unproven. Those same RWNJs continue to support the Trump family, which has been systematically committing tax fraud for more than half a century, dating back to Fred Trump. Hannity and his hatchet crew never mention that though, so the RWNJs probably don’t even know it.

            Another example, Hunter Biden may have been required to register his work for foreign corporations as making him “a lobbyist representing foreign interests.” Again, this is a good thing to investigate, but corroboration of the suspect laptop hasn’t officially been found so it remains an allegation so far. Also again there will be question of intent. Failure to register can be an oversight, or it can be motivated by a desire to knowingly move in the shadows as a foreign operative. This is another example of the hypocrisy of the RWNJs, who are screaming outrage over the allegations against Biden but still embrace Trump despite multiple convictions for the same crime in his inner circle, with no question that they were intentional and not just oversights. The same RWNJs who are outraged now cheered on Trump as he issued pardons to his people convicted of this crime.

            The main use of the laptop by RWNJs of course comes from salacious material that merits no legal investigation at all, making it the most suspect data on the device. Politically damaging, but not related to possible crimes. Coincidentally(?) released to RWNJ media before any of the criminal investigations even had a chance to get started.

            The laptop data is a sham.

          • Looks like my previous comment didn’t get past the moderation. Anyway.

            Beecee, it’s hilarious that you are so specific in citing your reference there. Right down to the numbered paragraph. One might assume that some right wing nutjob blogger gave you the reference and told you “what it means.”

            So here’s the thing, it doesn’t mean what they are spinning it to be.

            There’s an e-mail chain on the laptop that is of interest to the investigation. They are saying that that e-mail chain is authentic, because they have used a subpoena to access the other side; e-mail account of the person Hunter Biden was e-mailing with. That doesn’t mean anything about any other data in the laptop. Some of it, if it is of interest to the investigation, leads to subpoenas in an effort to verify it. If it can be verified it can be used.

            But there is absolutely no way to walk into a courtroom and say “look at this data from Hunter Biden’s laptop.” The defense would immediately challenge that evidence and it would get tossed. The laptop belonged to Hunter Biden, but there are a whole lot of hands that it is known to have passed through since that could be responsible for data on the device. Watch a cop show on TV and see how they carry on about “evidence bags” and “chains of custody.” All the paperwork in the world can’t put the genii back in the bottle for this laptop. The corrupted hands of Rudy G alone are more than enough to get it thrown out.

            So the really hilarious part here is that the story is actually about the prosecutor bringing two witnesses to the grand jury, and really that’s barely news. Neither witness is worth spit. They are fine, for a grand jury. The prosecution asks whatever they want the witness to answer, doesn’t bring up anything they don’t want the grand jury to hear about, and away we go. But if they get an indictment out of it those witnesses can be called at trial and asked other questions. Their answers to “as one of the many women Hunter Biden slept with during his emotional collapse after his divorce, did you have deep access to his financial dealings, or more of an ‘in passing’ level?” and “is it fair to say that you hold a grudge against the defendant?” would not impress a jury, just for starters.

            All of this isn’t to say that Hunter Biden has done no wrong. He certainly borked his taxes. The fact that he paid the IRS a lump settlement is proof enough of that. I have yet to see any presentation of evidence that would prove intent there. Lots of guys after a divorce go through a stretch where their only interest in accountants and tax attorneys is if they can bed them and their paperwork gets fouled up. Eventually the IRS catches up with them and they have to pay.

  6. Did you ever see such a crazy woke nightmare as that transsexual Lia Thomas competing against natural female swimmers? It towers above the girls by a foot, with huge shoulders, bigger muscles, huge lungs and longer arms than a natural born female. That is totally unfair as it violates the girls rights and the very laws of nature. It couldn’t win when competing against other males for 2 years so it turned “female”?

    How can the f__king lunatic NCAA wokies ruin competitive sports for 50% of the population, to accommodate, what, less than 1% of the population? In my world, the girls should throw a sack over it’s head and give it the what for!

    And this disgusting abomination changes in the same locker room as young girls, although it still has male genitalia. WTF? As a grand parent of a young girl, this eats my liver!

  8. Today, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said after Zelensky’s and Biden’s speeches, “Zelensky is Churchhill and Biden is FDR.”.

    Who here said recently, “The times, they are a changin’.”?

        Remember in Young Frankenstein when Eyegor grabbed the wrong brain labeled “Abnormal. Do not use.”?

        Well, that coulda been Tucker Carlson’s, Laura Ingraham’s or Sean Hannity’s diseased brain.

  9. Wonder if we could do with Russia what we did with Japan and Germany aftrer WWII.

    Instead of atomic bombs and a Normandy Invasion we are doing sanctions. If we keep it up and Putin is overthrown, we might have an opportunity along with NATO to install a true democracy with free elections and have Russia as an ally like we did with Japan and Germany.

    Of course, we’d have to do something first with our Republican traitorous party. Or is it traitorous Republican party?

    Either way.

    • You can change your mind America’s Most Willing To Reconsider.

      I did.

      While I didn’t vote for Reagan, I did notice that his optimistic attitude, “Morning in America” went a long way despite his eventually decimating the middle class or starting it.

      decimate: verb
      HISTORICAL
      kill one in every ten of (a group of soldiers or others) as a punishment for the whole group.
      “the man who is to determine whether it be necessary to decimate a large body of mutineers”.

      I voted for Ross Perot who wanted to curtail the shipping of jobs to Mexico and raise the gas tax 50 cents but came around to the Clintons eventually after 8 years of “Peace and Prosperity”. See, it can be done.

      I opposed Obama in 2016 but I came around after noticing how he accomplished things with a deft touch such as Obamacare. He wasn’t out pushing his programs but he somehow got others to step up. The “deft touch” was great when he was at the Correspondant’s Dinner while bin Laden was on his way out. He was both funny and effective behind the scenes.

      THAT’S leadership.
      With Trump, THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT.

      Given the disaster Trump has always been and how the Republican Party sucked up to him to their eventual losses of the House and Senate, why continue with that party? It’s the party of Kevin “Lyingest Liar” McCarthy. The dishonest McConnel and all those flakes like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jim “Escaped Prisoner” Jordan who are going to run things if the Rs take the House in November.

      Do you still want to be like those Russian citizens who think Ukraine started it? Given my earlier posts here that show that historically Republican administrations have had a recession in every one of their first terms for the last 100 years, is that what you want after 2024 if they take the WH? You’ll get one.

      You might get a crash like Hoover, Reagan, Bush the Lessor and Trump have done.

      Do you know better? Are you willing to change your mind given the evidence over time not just today with high gas prices while the rest of the economy is doing well and unemployment is low.

      Oil prices have declined but not so much with gas prices. THAT”S capitalism for you Republicans who worship at that altar. Oil companies are making profits and buying back stock not increasing production. I wonder if Republicans have stocks in oil companies while bemoaning the high gas prices.

      Wasn’t Trump’s first Secretary of State the CEO of Exxon/Mobil and also named “Rex”? What’s in a name. He was working with Putin doing oil deals in….wait for it….Russia.

      One of the big pitfalls with democracy is letting the inmates run the asylum. Supposedly, the Senate was were things were mitigated from the temporary passions of the streets (1/6). I laugh at that obsolete notion when the 2 Dakotas have 4 senators and California has 2. We are hanging by a thread. Poor Manchin is in attention withdrawal now. Good.

      • Nah. I’d trade Republicans for Ukrainians.

        The Republicans are more like Russians who believe the state tv, Channel One (I suppose it’s named that way because it’s the only one) just as our Republicans believe Fox “news”.

        Same thing, isn’t it?

        Plus they have a deranged leader in Putin like the Republicans have Trump.

        Same thing, isn’t it?

        Of course it is.

  10. Church attendance has been declining and it’s due to Christians themselves

    They’ve damaged the brand with covering up for pedophile priests or enabled corrupt televangelists (Jim and Tammy) and been bold about their hyporcrisy by supporting the corrupt, amoral, and extremely unChristian Trump.

    For what? Tax cuts? Right wing Supreme Court justices with a history of sexual abuse?

    All of the above?

    Young people notice that. I did when I was a kid and chose to do without the trappings of Christianity and all its unprovable fables. It wasn’t easy as humans are naturally superstitious. I’m superstitious about wearing my seatbelt but I know that I’m being superstitious as a way of enforcing that habit for myself.

    I gave up belief in Santa Claus at a very early age but Christianity is so much a part of the culture and it has powerful ways of manipulating people such as with the afterlife. Do you wanna risk that? It’s so ingrained into people.

    Seems to me that people who live a moral life without the reward of heaven or risk of hell are superior to those who need those incentives or they’ll be baaaad. Yet, we still see all kinds of religious people be bad because they have the “Get Outta Jail Free” card called “forgiveness” by God. Oh, God. They get forgiven by the god they made up so they can do it again.
    Be moral and have integrity just to be moral and have integrity.

    If you have to have “faith” and “believe” in something, it suggests that that thing isn’t real. That’s the very nature of belief.

    I prefer to deal with reality and it’s quite fascinating to watch people trying to convince others that what they believe is real and true. Really? Believe you can fly and jump off the roof. Belief is the wind beneath your wings. Right? Right.

    Notice that I haven’t used the word “atheist’ which supposes that “theism” is a given. No. Not at all. Gravity here on earth is a given. Doesn’t require belief and if you don’t want to believe in gravity, do the jumping off the roof thing. You’ll learn.

          • Great! You created your own meaning.

            Mine has been inventing what’s possible rather than choosing from what is already available and then I die. I would have anyway but it’s more interesting this way.

            In doing so, I’ve discovered that the physical world is more malleable than I once thought.

            I don’t worry about money and haven’t been about money, yet it seems to arrive as I need it for what I want to accomplish.

            For example, when I put down the deposit for my current house in July 1990, Saddam moved on Kuwait a week later. I was going to commute to the Valley, and I thought, “Oh, chit. Now gas prices are gonna go sky high.”. In the next moment, I thought, “Oh well, I’ll just ride it out.”. Never happened and I would have been fine either way.

            I had a supervisor that I wanted gone for years. We bumped heads alot. One day, I walked into her office and apologized for anything I had ever said that didn’t work for her. Her sour puss lit up and she had a big smile. The very next day, she was replaced as they were reorganizing the department.

            I didn’t apologize for that reason and would have been fine either way had she stayed or been replaced. It constantly amazes me the power I have when I do what works and how little power when I do it the “regular” way.

            The operative words are “do what works”. Life can be remarkably effortless that way. But, because I’m human I still revert to the default way of doing things that humans do like forcing outcomes and complaining and holding onto upsets. It’s so tiring that way. I know.

            I haven’t been upset about gas prices as I’ve stated early that my neighbor and I were bragging about the cost of recent fillups. Gas prices are starting to come down and I saved myself some grief by not complaining. If they went up even further, I would, again, have been fine. It’s like complaing about the weather. Pointless.

            So, Mr. America’s Most Resilient. Looking back, it took a lot of hard work to learn how effortless life can be. It’s starts with integrity and practice, practice, practice and never ends.

            I recently heard an interview with an Indy driver. He was asked what it was like going 200 mph and so close to other cars. He said he was really relaxed and it was zen-like. That’s a great way to go through life as it comes at us even faster on some days. I don’t know anything about zen however but I got what he was saying.

            Having a sense of humor goes a long way as you must know. That’s what separates you from the rest of the tighty righties.

            “Watch out for that tree!”

        I asked her how the heck did she keep a straight face? She said that she and Herbert Marshall would crack up during the scenes.

        She also played Marlon Brando’s girlfriend in Sayonara. One night, I called her up as that movie was playing and said, “Patricia, I just saw you smooching with Marlon Brando on TV.” She was pretty cool. She had a mink coat in storage and asked if I knew anyone who wanted it. My sister now has it. I dare anyone to do anything while she’s wearing it when she’s with my brother-in-law.

        Over the years, I grown to appreciate actors like Herbert Marshall, Claude Rains, Greta Garbo that I didn’t pay attention to when I was a kid. Then, there was Hedy (not Hedley) Lamar in Samson and Delilah. Dear God, she was beautiful and smart. She invented on a napkin at a restaurant during WWII “frequency hopping” so the Germans couldn’t intercept our communications. It’s still used today in cell phones, but she never got a patent. Beauty AND brains.

  13. One would think Putin would have learned from our mistake. We fought a civil war to keep the confederacy in the Union and it’s been a chronic problem ever since. Same with Ukraine. If Putin succeeds, the Ukraine is a destroyed country that will need “reconstruction” if he has the rubles.

    As for slavery. Lincoln shouda freed the slaves and granted them full citizenship and transport to the northern states. Then, left the confederacy intact and the southern whites could have picked their own cotton. They’ve been “dependents’ of the rest of the blue states since then.

    As it’s turned out the confederacy still lives in the minds of many in the south and the rest of the country as well disguised as “states’ rights” or whatever. Lindsey Graham could be their president and first lady. A 2-fer.

    We could ship many unhappy Californians to the confederacy, some of which live here in the Antelope Valley. I read the Valley Press Letters and they are still living in the old south as are some here.

    They have to be careful to couch their racism, but the truth gets communicated. One Jim Gardner wrote a letter complaining something about white high school students coming to him to have a “White Students’ Club”. They knew exactly who to go to. Kids aren’t stupid. Remember when you were in high school and wand you knew which teachers were this or that. It’s the student underground.

    The word in my high school was that Mrs. Nash was a communist because she didn’t say the pledge in our homeroom class. We didn’t care. She was kinda cool anyway. She had a ’57 Chevy Bel Air convertible and lived down by the beach. How unAmerican.

I made it all the way through school without some rude pissant saying “no the roll sheet says Timothy so I am not going to call you Tim…my god frowns on common courtesy.” Had that ever happened I’d undoubtedly have been rude right back, the school would have gotten my parents involved, and they’d have told the teacher “you started it; don’t be a rude pissant and he’ll probably not treat you like one.”

Why would anyone want to get in a pissing contest with elementary school kids over their chosen name? What is the gain for the education of the child in question or the other kids in the class?

            Christians used to fret about persecution when they saw a well fed lion, now we have this freak trying to tell people what name they should answer to and claiming she is persecuted when someone sticks up for the kid.

    • So, in your fantasy world we are in a war with Russia? How interesting. Here in the real world it is Ukraine that is in a war with Russia.

      The Russians invaded because Putin miscalculated. He thought that four years of the Trump administration had so weakened the NATO alliance that there would not be any unified front on economic sanctions and the Russian economy would be able to weather the storm. There was a press release on the Russian propaganda networks where Putin himself explained that in order to rally his people and raise their morale in the face of the sanctions he was expecting.

      Your fantasy world is pretty strange. I’ll bet there are a lot of stories there focused on ‘Hunter Biden’s laptop.’ Is the provenance of that as absurd there as it is here?

  16. It’s finally been revealed. When William Shatner, at 90, flew into space recently he had what appeared to be a psychotic episode.

    He was shouting that there was a furry creature outside the spacecraft pulling at part of the wing. It turned out that while weightless, part of his toupee flopped over his eyes.

    He’s fine now. The toupee had to be destroyed.

    • The special affects and the guy in the furry Chubaca costume on the wing were so primitive and unsophisticated, but classic and unforgettable, like almost all episodes were. You know how many great actors and actresses got their start there.

      • Rod Serling’s TZ and Alfred Hitchcock’s TV show were memorable yet very low budget.

        Spielberg should take a clue that “Less is more.”

        His remake of West Side Story was a bomb, a flop, only $36 million in the US. I’m glad.

        It was on HBO MAX the other night. So soon? I watched about 10 minutes and that was it.

        The opening of WWS was a big production not appropriate to the story. The camera work and editing were odd and almost amateurish unless that was the intention.

        He throws money at the screen but in all his movies, the characters are 2-dimentional. I’ve never watched any of the few Spielberg movies I have seen twice. Yet, I’ve watched many films many times because they’re good.

        I’ve watched TZ and Hitchcock’s shows many times even though I know how they end. One of the classics was the wife that killed her hubby with a frozen leg of lamb, cooked it and then served it to the cops investigating his death. Priceless.

        Another one was a guy in an iron lung. His wife is having an affair with someone, and it looked like she was working to unplug him. But the guy in the iron lung had hired the boyfriend to kill her. Ah, marital bliss through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, till death does you in.

        The only movie I’ve enjoyed in the last few decades was Crazy Rich Asians. It’s my all-time favorite. Well done from the opening credits to the closing credits with music. The cast was excellent. Spielberg would have ruined it if he had made it.

        Republicans have their “zone” as well. The “fact-free zone” Zip code 00000. The clocks all flash “12.00” endlessly and there are no history books or dictionaries in the zone. It’s a virtual world with no contact with the real world.

          But, noooooooo

          Americans didn’t want that. They went out and bought gas guzzling trucks and SUVs. Remember all the Hummers.

          Then, they had to be crushed in 2009, i.e., Cash for Clunkers.

          In 2000, during the pandemic when car use was down, gas prices were lower due to less demand. So, Americans typically ran out and bought more trucks and SUVs.

          Now, they are whining about gas prices. If whining could power cars and trucks, Beeceee could drive her car all day for free.

          She says she’s rich but she’s about the only one here whining about gas prices. Go figure.

            I just drove to Redding and back on I5. The slow lane is worse then most dirt roads I drive on. The bouncing around broke the hinges on the tack room door.

            Enjoyed getting the hell out of Dodge for a few days.

            Got stuck in Lodi again, but stayed in a nice hotel.

          • Amazing, given that Trump had at least 150 “infrastructure week” events during his term. You’d think all that stuff was fixed.

          • What’s happening with the “Bullet Train to Nowhere”? Anyone know?

          • We have a proposed high speed rail connection from LA to the bay area, and branch connecting to Las Vegas is in the works. I haven’t seen any proposals for a train to nowhere. Seems an odd destination.

            High-Speed Rail Releases Spring 2022 Construction Update
            FRESNO, Calif. – Today, in recognition of Women in Construction Week, the California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) released its Spring 2022 Construction Update and recognized women who are contributing to the nation’s first high-speed rail project. With continued winter construction progress, highlights include last month’s completion of the South Avenue Grade Separation in Fresno County, updates on the Cedar Viaduct’s dual span of arches and installation of pre-cast concrete girders at the Conejo Viaduct.

            Since the start of construction, the project has created more than 7,500 construction jobs. There is currently 119 miles under construction in the Central Valley with more than 30 active construction sites.

            For more information about ongoing construction, visit: http://www.buildhsr.com.

            I wonder if this is a better long-term investment than the cancelled Keystoneoil pipeline that was going to cross over rivers, y’know because there has never been an oil spill in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico or the kitchen at Clem’s Diner.

            The name:”Keystone” reminds me of the Keystone Cops. What’s in a name? Do you suppose the cost of oil cleanups is factored into the cost of gasoline or is it simply ignored to please Republicans?

            It’s been reported that oil companies are simply taking profits and buying back stock and not investing in production. Capitalism at work. Do the Rs want a “socialist” solution to high gas prices? Hmmm

            Trying to govern this state or country with Republicans is like driving a car dragging a big ol’ anchor. Look at how well Lancaster, a Republican kingdom, is run or not run for a close-up example of Republican governance. Need I say more?

            It’s a microcosm of howTrump ran the country for 4 awful years. Grifting, nepotism, corruption, messing with elections, and so on. Of course, Trump didn’t install useless bike lanes. He just installed useless temps to fill his administration and his useless kids to oversee departments.

            Did Ben Carson get to take that expensive dining room table with him? What a jerk.

            Does anyone see it differently? Let’s hear it.

            Tell us how great Lancaster is run.

            Laguna Beach = Mar a Lago Absentee war lords.

Now that you have acknowledged that you are just broadcasting from a fantasy world and will not look at any facts that might disrupt it I no longer have any interest in fighting with you about it. I’ll just point it out once in a while to make sure any new readers that come along know what they are dealing with.

            Guess it got unblocked for whatever reason even though the comments weren’t posted. Same with “Sonya” not “Sonyaa”.

      Yup, he’s the worst president. No doubt about it.

      What’s even worse are the cretins who still follow Trump given all of the above and in my earlier comment and more.

      They are unpatriotic, unAmerican traitors and as Hillary famously said, “Deplorables”. It was true then and more so now.

      So, go ahead “deplorables”, keep outing yourselves as such.

            America’s….. I keep expecting you to know better. What has you stuck in Rightwinglandia?

            I’ve posted that since 1970 Democrats have outperformed the Rs in the economy by almost every measure on average.. Rs were in the White House in 1929, 1987, 2008 and 2020 when Dow the crashed. They lead in recessions by a long shot. They have one every time for the past 100 years.

            As for corruption, the Republicans “outperform” by more than 10 times in indictments, convictions and/or prison sentences. It would have been more if Trump hadn’t pardoned his minions.

            Given all thet and since the Rs have no platform as of their last convention, what would have you vote for them ever again? You will get more of their incompetence and corruption.

            Do you learn from history or your own observation of what has happened in your lifetime? Don’t you recall the crash of 2008 and how it took Obama a longer time to recover because of the obstruction of the republicans. But, recover it he did.

            Same with Bill Clinton who inherited a recession and we had 20 million jobs created and Peace and Prosperity. He got the blind cleric that planned the first Trade Center bombing while Bush invaded the wrong country and forgot about bin Laden. Obama didn’t.

            Clinton also successfully ended that war in Bosnia. No one remembers.

            Clinton’s job approval DURING IMPEACHMENT was 65%.

            Don’t you remember anything? There are OTC meds for that.

            Of course, people like Beeceee and Sonyaya will never learn. Something is terribly wrong with them. FWB’s feet are permanently nailed to the floor of the right-wing asylum. But you? What’s the matter with you? You supported Larry Elder for crying out loud which is what he musta done afterward. He was shellacked in the recall election. Or, was it “varnished”. Anyway. Good riddance.

            Seriously. Like a gall bladder attack. Or a kidney stone. Or death.

            You had to ask for an answer. That’ll teach ya.

    • One problem. Biden has integrity and wouldn’t do that.

      Interesting how similar Putin and Trump are.

      Biden is dealing with a dishonest, lying, corrupt thief in Putin.

      Biden is dealing with the same things in Trump domestically.

      Biden is good. He can handle both while remaining honest.

      The other 2 twins prove that “crime doesn’t pay”. They both are being hung by their own ropes.

      One is a war criminal. The other is just a plain old criminal. Their just desserts are a-comin’ like Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi,
      Benito Mussolini (upside down no less), Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu, Julius Caesar, Bernie Madoff and so on.

      Historically, it doesn’t end well for despots, dictators, and deplorables.

      The hard part is dealing with those who support them. It’s a start with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers but what about Beecee and Sonyaya and their ilk. They are turds in the country’s punchbowl.

      Republicans. Even when they lose, they stink up the political sphere. When they are in power, they can’t govern or protect us.

      And, they think God is on their side. Well, when you make up a god, of course you’ll think she’s on your side. Self-fulfilling delusion, isn’t it?

      Beecee thinks she’s right in all matters even when evidence proves otherwise. See her exchanges with Tim Scott. After he presented facts disputing her assertions, I promise you she went away still thinking she was right.

      She’s like a computer programed to think that. She’s programed to think that she’s right all the time. It’s insane. She’s insane. She’s an Atari, not even a HAL9000 but just as dangerous.

      • Trump didn’t have any new lies last night, just the same old same old that have been debunked so many times before. The only interesting thing was Hannity trying to tee up a softball so Trump could condemn Putin’s attack on Ukraine, or at the very least the war crimes and atrocities, and Trump taking a pass and standing on “ah Vladimir, I get along so well with him, we understand each other.” Seeing Hannity try to manage having served up a softball that turned into a strikeout was amusing.

        I predict that fairly soon there will be a new Republican litmus test, and anyone that won’t agree that Putin is just trying to peacefully clean up corruption and Nazis in Ukraine will be branded a RINO. Madison Cawthorn is already trying it out and Tucker Carlson has gone in. Beecee can’t be too far behind.

  28. Beeceee aka Beecee aka BeeCee aka Barbara G., a BIRTHER, now is using Hunter Biden as her go to BS.

    Same old. Same old.

    There is infinitely more evidence to convict Trump which she ignores than any allegations about Hunter Biden.

    That’s her cockeyed view of the world.

    She believes lies.

    She dismisses evidence.

    Would you want to be on a jury with Beecee…or Sonyaya? An 11 to 1 hung jury because they saw something on Twitter or Facebook or Fox that, although not true, is what they base their opinions on.

    If only a “hung jury” could result in a real hanging….of a stupid juror.

  31. From the New Yorker TRUMP BANNED FROM HIS OWN SOCIAL NETWORK

    “PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—In a major setback for the former President, Donald J. Trump has been banned from his own social network.
    Trump’s permanent ban went into effect just moments into the beta test of the new social-media platform, Truth Social.

    After Trump posted his first status update, the platform determined that he had violated its terms of service and expelled him forever.
    Harland Dorrinson, a spokesman for Truth Social, confirmed that the platform had banned Trump, adding, “It’s unfortunate, but our hands are tied.”
    Reportedly, Trump has prepared a blistering statement about his Truth Social ban but has been unable to find anywhere to post it.”

    Does Melania get everything if Trump dies in prison? The lady awaits.

    Trump is the “idiot not so savant” that Beecee, Sonyaya, FWB, and America’s Most Slippery Critter voted for, maybe TWICE. They think that the Rs that kissed his a$$ for 4 years should take over the House and Senate in November. Kissing a$$ isn’t governing as we’ve seen.

    Now, they come here daily and post tripe when it’s not flat out lies. Who are these people? Are they for real? Do their parents know where they are at 11 PM?

    Tim Scott valiantly replies to Beecee’s dishonest posts with facts and they simple bounce off her forehead like ping pong balls. Beecee thinks she’s full of information. Well, she’s half right.

    Sonyaya writes gIbBeRiSh and thinks she’s cute. I bet she doesn’t flush at someone else’s house and thinks that’s cute. Same thing only different.

    FWB. What’s in a name?

    And, then there’s America’s Most Amiable Crazy Person. The reason he’s always last is that the worst goes first.

    Don’t forget. These folks once were Tea Baggers before they discovered what that meant. They were BIRTHERS and still are ‘ecept maybe America’s Most….

    When history is written, they certainly won’t be able to read it. English is their second language like McCarthy’s. Not to worry. Fox will translate it for them into Fibish.

    Now, you four kids. Write something you think is intelligent. I dare ya. I know. It’s a trap.

    I doubt if Beecee or Sonyaya can read this far down a post. The voices in their heads would be screaming so loud we can hear them.

      • Trump and his followers are the true ANTI-AMERICANS. He cozied up with Putin and had secret meetings and phone calls that he wouldn’t let be transcribed.

        Is that fine with you, FWB?

        He tried to weaken NATO per Putin’s desires.

        The entire Republican Party with only a couple exceptions went along with him.

        He tried to discredit the established news media like Putin has done in Russia.

        He did the same with our election system and is still claiming it was stolen and the Republicans don’t dispute that again with only a couple exceptions.

        Trump does all that to cater to people like you, Beecee and Sonyaya and millions of others who pretend to be patriots while doing everything unpatriotic. They use the flag and words like liberty, freedom, and liberty again as cover for their unpatriotic acitivities.

        You never hear Trump, Fox and the Republicans use the word DEMOCRACY. It’s a no no with them as they’ve tried to subvert it with voter suppression.

        They call the established news media “fake news” to pre-emptively discredit the actual facts presented that debunk Trump lies.

        And on and on while you remain in your right-wing coma.

        At your age FWB, you should be smarter than to write what you post here but apparently you aren’t.

        Like Beecee, you too are tools of Putin. Your and her comments could have easily been written by Russian bots on social media which they do.

        Putin’s state run news uses Tucker Carlson’s videos as propaganda. That state run news is Russia’s version of Fox “news”.

        Russian citizens don’t know the truth about the invasion of Ukraine just like Fox viewers and you don’t know jack about what’s really going on here.

        Got it, FWB?

        The good news is that your, Beecee’s, Sonyaya’s and America’s Most votes for president don’t count in Democratic California. You might as well leave that box unchecked in the future as California is a winner take all in the Electoral College.

        Aaaah. Isn’t that awful for you?

        For more evidence of what a Republican run country looks like, see Rex’s Lancaster. It’s a microcosm. The Good Ol’ Boys use it as their personal petty cash drawer while needed services go unaddressed.

        Trump had called Putin a “genius” and “savvy”.

        When they talk about Putin spreading disinformation about Ukraine having biological and chemical weapons (a false flag tactic), he sounds like Trump spreading lies about…well, EVERYTHING.

        When they talk about Putin’s ego, it sounds like they’re talking about Trump.

        And, on and on. It’s like they were separated at birth.

        They say that Russian citizens who only have propaganda news believe what Putin says knowing nothing else like our Beecee and Sonya with Fox so-called news and right-wing propaganda.

        The similarities are remarkable. But, Russian citizens and Beecee and Sonya are clueless as to what is really happening and it shows.

He gets a brief connection of cell service and calls his parents in Russia to let them know he is alive and they tell him they weren’t worried because they know he is in a predominantly Russian speaking city where there has been no shooting since the Russian rescue efforts were met with a warm welcome. So he tells them about his building collapsing in the constant shelling and they curse the Ukrainian government since the Russian military would never hit a civilian building.

  35. The Trumpist progression reaches a new and more honest stage:

    We passed through “Jan 6th is no big deal, no one has been charged with anything but trespassing.

    -people get charged with seditious conspiracy-

    The previous “reasoning” is now obsolete, but the true believing Trumpist NEVER lets changing circumstances shake their beliefs. They move on to new reasoning to patch onto their unfounded belief.

    “Okay they were charged, but innocent until proven guilty and I will make every effort to shove my head somewhere that news of the verdicts cannot reach so I can continue to believe that Jan 6th was no big deal.” This leads to the hilarious “Don’t count on those charges sticking” proclamation that comes AFTER guilty pleas have already started to be filed.

    So now another line of “reasoning” is obsolete, but the belief remains unshaken. “Jan 6th is no big deal” remains the focal point of a belief system founded on lies. The Trumpist is forced to resort to the narcissist mantra “I don’t care so no one else does either.”

    We are talking about seditious conspiracy. A group of people plotting together to overthrow our government. Who could call themselves an American citizen and say “I don’t care” to that?

    Trumpists, because they blindly follow the traitor at the center of the plot.

      I should do you a favor and just go back to vulgar abuse…you can be a victim. It was cruel to lure you into civil conversation and reveal how out of touch you really are.

            In Trump world, he won the election in their “reality”.

            We have the Scientific Method to get at some “truths” about the physical world but then we discover new “truths” that upset the old thinking.

            The things we call “truths” are ethereal while lies are solid and difficult to undo. Look at how powerful the “election fraud” lie has been with so many while the verifiable ‘truths” don’t stand a chance.

            Even in court, a right-wing judge can overturn an evidence-based prior decision.

            Heck, lies abound in the animal world as well. That’s how some survive by faking it. Camouflage. Pretending to have a broken wing to distract from her nest.

            Stinger, look at how difficult is has been for you dealing with someone here who puts forth a lie.

            The thing about integrity is that it allows things to work as designed. I was in my 30s before I realized how effective integrity is in having life work. It’s not about morallity or what’s right. Just what’s so. Keeping my word.
            Your car drives better when all the tires are properly inflated, y’know, “Integrity by Michelin”.

            Even though Trump got away with a lot of lies, it’s all coming home to roost or roast. He was once “roasted”on Comedy Central and there was one condition. They couldn’t joke about what his net worth was. Well, the SDNY is finding out “what’s so” about that.

            We are at a critical junction in history. With all our information technology, Beecee believes lies fabricated by right-wing outlets. Putin and Trump spread lies.

            Whatever people want to believe, there’s a lie out there on the web to support it. That is dangerous.

            To make it worse, the liars call the fact-based media “fake news” as a pre-emptive tactic. Fox was the original “Faux News” and they managed to turn that around while pushing lies.

            Ask Beecee, the poster child for “Conned Artists”. She surfs the web looking for lies and then repeats them here. I love how Tim Scott countered every one of her assertions about 1/6 and she just deflected, denied and distracted. But, she’s not delovely. Not at all.

            Yes, indeed. Beecee FAKES IT.

    • If you look at the reactions to the refugee crisis the differences are impossible to not see. The Russian “war strategy” is, and always has been, an endless series of war crimes; attack civilians to weaken enemy military supply and resolve. When they did it in Asia and the middle east the resulting waves of refugees created the “immigration crises” that fueled extremist nationalism movements across Europe and the US that brought people like Boris Johnson and Donald Trump to power. When they do it in Ukraine the response is “OMG we have to help these people!!!”

      The interesting thing is that Putin so badly misjudged that. He apparently expected that creating another refugee crisis would add to the nationalist movements and further weaken NATO. Missed, badly.

  43. Something else the Trumpists have tried to bury in the turdpile of worthless posts…

    A while ago I posted about the filing of seditious conspiracy charges related to the Jan 6th attempt to overthrow the government. I pointed out that the case looked like a lock, particularly when one co-defendant was not arraigned along with the rest but separately. That was a clear indication that he was making a deal, and he has since plead guilty and his agreement to testify is now public record.

    I said that there would be a race among the remaining defendants to find a way to trade something new and get a deal of their own.

    Today a new co-conspirator was added to those being charged. Obviously the investigation has “turned up something new” and that almost certainly came about because someone else wanted a deal. If the first guy pleading out had been able to implicate this new defendant that would have already happened.

    So now we have the leader of the Proud Boys in the dock looking at a whole lot of time in federal prison. While his underlings probably had nothing to offer as to where the conspiracy reaches outside of the Proud Boys, this guy was obviously the contact point that brought the Proud Boys into the plot. If he wants a deal, and let’s face it he is gonna want a deal because the case is pretty much airtight, he is going to have to provide those links.

    If I were a congressman who was part of this conspiracy I would be really concerned. If I were a white house staff member that was working with the Proud Boys I would be very concerned. If I was part of the PACs that funneled the funding to the Proud Boys I would be very concerned. It’s all unraveling, as unsuccessful coup attempts always do. These guys bet on their ability to keep Trump in office to cover for them, and they lost.

          Nothing more.

          These same folks are the same ones responsible for the russia, russia, russia hoax, and the bunk impeachment. Therefore they retain zero credibility.

          • The people who were rejected are likely participants in the crimes so putting them on the committee investigating was an obvious attempt to sidetrack that investigation. There were plenty of republicans McCarthy could have assigned that weren’t up to their eyeballs in the attempt to overthrow the government.

            As to your dismissal of “hoax hoax hoax,” the evidence does not support you at all. Both impeachments demonstrated clearly “yeah Trump did what he is accused of.” Even as they voted “no punishment” Republican senators widely acknowledged his guilt. Outside the totally devoted to the GOP propaganda networks that’s accepted as established fact.

          • Here,
            Ill say it again,

            “political theater constructed to impact the 2022 midterms.
            Nothing more”

            All court/committee filings and indictments so far in the matter seem to only be there to generate headlines, just like the russia hoax, so let see how it plays out.

            There are a lot of unanswered issues from that day from both sides.

          • Say thing…have it questioned because it is not valid…say same thing again…

            How’s that work out for you elsewhere?

            Tell the Proud Boys in the dock “don’t worry, this is just to generate headlines.”

            Tell all of Trump’s lawyers that have been disbarred “don’t worry, this is just to generate headlines.”

            Tell Guy Reffitt it’s all just to generate headlines. He will actually agree with you. From his jail cell and despite his slam dunk conviction.

          • You guys were wrong about everything before

            But this time it’s slam dunk and EVERYBODY is going to jail including Trump for a seditious conspiracy to overturn an election…

            Gotcha!

            I’m still for waiting and judging on the outcome of said cases.

          • First off, you haven’t proven your false claim about “you were all wrong before.” In fact, most people, including me, said “Trump is guilty but the Republicans in the senate will give him a pass for political reasons” and that proved to be exactly what happened.

            As to “waiting for the outcome”…the guilty pleas have already started. You charge a dozen people in a conspiracy and they start pleading guilty, so you think that any of them are going to get off? They all faced the same case that made one of them say “I’m cooked, let’s make a deal.” You think adding his testimony to the already existing case is going to make it easier for the co-conspirators to beat the rap? Be serious.

            The Proud Boys are cooked. That now includes their leader. Whatever you claim you are waiting for, indications are that it already happened.

          • By the way, when I say Guy Reffitt will agree with you despite his slam dunk conviction you look kind of silly mocking me for calling it a slam dunk. Jury is in. Guilty on all counts. Slam dunk.

          • Yeah..

            Who’s is Guy Reffit?

            Exactly.

            If it was one of the 600 idiots that went into the Capitol, good!

          • “No one has been charged with anything but trespassing.”

            Yes they have.

            “Well they haven’t been convicted.”

            Yes they have.

            “Who’s Guy Reffitt?”

            As I said, the outcomes will not change the tune the trumpists play at all. They just go from pretending they have reasons to dismiss the crimes to dismissing them without reasons.

        • The conversation topic might be fun to read in hindsight after everything goes through the courts. If the aliens or Putin doesn’t destroy the World first.

          Reply

          • Trumpists won’t change their tune when it goes through the courts. They will just ignore the results.

            Just look at this case.

            “Jan 6 was nothing, nobody has even been charged with anything but trespassing.”

            -charges filed of seditious conspiracy-

            “Jan 6th was nothing…innocent until proven guilty”

            -guilty plea filed-

            “Jan 6th was nothing.”

            It’s exactly the same series of responses as to all of Trump’s other crimes. Dismissal with vague excuses to dismiss, and when those run out just stick a foot in the mud and dismiss with no reasoning at all.

          • Having any of what? The locked in dismissals when the evidence piles up and up and up? Yeah, no one with sense is having any of that. That is good for exciting other equally committed Trumpists, but outside of that it makes you look silly.

            Face it, that sequence is impossible to not recognize as you.

            “Jan 6 was nothing, nobody has even been charged with anything but trespassing.”

            -charges filed of seditious conspiracy-

            “Jan 6th was nothing…innocent until proven guilty”

            -guilty plea filed-

            “Jan 6th was nothing.”

            If it was worth the time I’d dig up your exact posts.

          • All of my statements in my posts were made at the time of the post, before any indictments or charges other then trespassing, so at that time I was correct.

            Anybody stupid enough (600 folks) that went to that glowing fed fest will deserve whatever they have coming to them.

            As far as conspiracy charges sticking, I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

          • LOL…the demonstration of how out of touch you and your “trust us, we aren’t like the media” sources are…the conspiracy charges have already started drawing guilty pleas, so it’s a little late for “those aren’t gonna stick.”

          • Well let us all know how it’s going,

            Cause your the only one fixated on and watching that garbage.

          • LOL…I’ve been trying to let you know how it’s going, because I like seeing you make it crystal clear that you don’t know and that the reason you don’t know is because you don’t want to know.

            Trumpists do not want to know how the trials are going, because trials mean facts and facts interfere with the fantasy world that Trump and his propaganda networks produce for you to live inside of.

            Funny thing, facts. No matter how hard you try to ignore them they remain facts.

          • I know that traitors don’t care, but I am thinking that any good American citizen would care about an attempt to overthrow our government.

            Your claim that “no one cares” says a lot about you.

  44. Tim Scott says

    March 4, 2022 at 1:46 am

    Just read through day one of the Reffitt case. Pretty easy to see why the justice department chose this guy as the first one to prosecute among those who refused to plead out. Harder to understand why he refused to plead. When they invited this guy to come to trial they might as well have told him it was a luau and to bring an apple in his mouth. This is a slam dunk.

    So the various Trumpists I guess were hoping that if they ignored this and buried it under a steaming turdpile of “I love Trump but can’t explain why,” “I say Trump was great so damn your facts I am entitled to that opinion,” and other such inane posts it would just go away. But of course it didn’t.

    Reffitt was found guilty on all counts. The jury deliberated for four hours, presumably so they could get lunch before returning to court. I didn’t read anything beyond the first day of testimony yet because there were a lot of more interesting things going on than a slam bunk case like this one, but I have a note to at least skim and see if there was any line of defense that his lawyers thought was even worth trying.

    So now the question is whether Trumpists can swallow their overpowering need to be sycophant parrots and acknowledge that Trump calling his riot a “love fest” was just another bald faced lie from their leader?

        They were holding a door. We now know, and could guess then, that if that door had been breached the government would have been successfully overthrown.

        There was ample warning that the people holding the door were armed, knew that deadly force was justified, and that they would use it if the attackers did not withdraw. The attackers didn’t withdraw.

        How do you prefer for that to have played out?

        My own preference would be for them to have opened fire and just kept firing. No one in that hall deserved to walk away.

        • This is one of the things that really leaves me disgusted with Trumpists. This is at least the third time that America’s Most Poster Formerly Known As Trumpist has said “they shouldn’t have killed Babbitt.” Every time I have summarized the situation and asked what he thinks should have happened instead.

          He has no answer.

          But we can assume that he will pop up next week or next month with “they shouldn’t have killed Ashley Babbitt.” His beliefs have no basis in facts, so the facts don’t matter to him, he just walks away from them. That’s a Trumpist.

          • I said “needn’t” kill her. They could have tased her or used tear gas.

            And it’s not just any Trumpist. I was Trumpist#1. Numero Uno.

          • It is very unlikely that they had tear gas available. Taser? Maybe.

            Question then becomes…why? The mob had already demonstrated their capacity for violence, attacking numerous cops. They were engaged in an attack on the capitol of the United States. The continuity of the government of the most powerful nation on the planet was at stake. Personally I see it not as a “police response” at that point. It could have been and in my opinion should have been viewed as a military situation, and as I said I’d have favored that they open fire and just keep firing.

            No one in that hall deserved to walk away.

    • LOL…so I went looking to read up on the rest of how this went in court. I was particularly curious about the defense, because I seriously could not imagine how there was any way around the mountain of evidence the prosecution had. So now I am really perplexed because THERE WAS NO DEFENSE. This clown pushed this all the way to trial so that his lawyer could call no witnesses, present absolutely nothing, and call it a day.

      Pro Tip: courts are NOT merciful, but they are stretched very thin on time. If you are accused of something that you did, and it is obvious that you did it, and a “trial” is just going to be a big time sink so that the prosecution can say over and over “this proves they did it, and so does this, and so does this,” and you have nothing really to say for yourself or anyone else to say anything for you…make a “let me save the court some time and have them save me some” deal.

        • Yeah but you already said that you are ready for the world to just burn, so that’s consistent. Let’s hope Putin isn’t of a similarly narcissistic fatalist mindset.

          Trump creating the possibility that NATO might fall apart and fail to respond is what induced Putin to attack Ukraine, so your post says you are cheering something that lead to the deaths of (current estimate) thousands and could spiral into the millions.

          Flat out, that’s just gross.

          Meanwhile, Putin and his attack have proven what an idiot Trump is. His whole schtick about NATO needing to spend more on conventional weapons was flatly wrong. We (NATO) are rallying the world to use economic pressure to destroy Russia, and Russia is demonstrating that their military can barely match up with Ukraine. If there was a conventional arms only conflict between NATO and Russia Russia wouldn’t last a week. The only reason to increase spending on conventional weapons is to further enrich the defense contractors.

            WOW that’s probably the biggest bs I’ve ever read here. Meanwhile Biden makes us dependent on Russian oil and gas prices are sky rocketing. Americans are basically supporting Putin’s war with high fuel prices.

            I MISS TRUMP

          • Don’t blame me, blame Putin. He’s the one that said that political uncertainty in the US (rioting Trumpists trying to overturn elections) and division in NATO as the English speakers turn their backs on the continent made this the ideal time for reuniting Russia.

          • “Don’t blame me, blame Putin. He’s the one that said that political uncertainty in the US (rioting Trumpists trying to overturn elections)“

            Not the summer of love?

            Lol, Putin loves to make fun of what the left has done to the west. The normalization of mutants.

          • Protests that don’t directly threaten to disable the government don’t prompt international military adventurism. Putin isn’t stupid. He has ORGANIZED the kind of ‘mob action collapses elected government’ events that the GOP hoped Jan 6th would be, so you can bet he recognized that for what it was even if you refuse to.

          • Sure dude,

            So Putin doesn’t root for the lefts destruction of our country by disastrous energy and foreign policy, burning our cities to the ground over ‘social justice’ and normalizing people being able to assign themselves whatever gender they prefer…

            No it was the 600 people that were at the Capitol that 1 day that he roots for…

            Gotcha!

          • He roots, openly, for the guy who very nearly broke NATO, Donald Trump.

            If Trump’s revolution had been successful and kept him in office there would be no coalition of economic sanctions and Ukraine would be just ass out. If Trump were in office Putin could just as easily be taking Poland along with Ukraine and testing whether Trump would uphold US obligations under article five or just withdraw from NATO.

            Again, you are so busy yelling “hoax hoax” that you ignore the facts. The investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to influence the 2016 election may not have produced enough of a case to overcome political resistance from senate republicans (personally, I believe the spineless senate republicans could have been shown video of Putin with his hand up Trump’s ass moving his mouth like a ventriloquist and they would have turned a blind eye). It may not have produced a solid enough case to convince a jury of twelve, especially if a Trump loyalist found a way onto the jury. But there was ZERO question that independent of the Trump campaign the Russian intelligence apparatus was pouring support behind Trump. Trump’s own justice department acknowledged that, along with the intelligence agencies.

            Russia supports every inward looking nationalist movement everywhere in Europe too, because breaking NATO is the goal. They don’t care one whit about criminal justice in Seattle, or LGBTQ people in the US. Why would they?

          • Gosh, why do people end up throwing ‘juvenile’ insults at Trumpists?

            Here’s the answer.

            When they are beaten with facts they just withdraw into their fantasy world and reappear elsewhere to restart the same conversation from the same fraudulent place, as if it never happened. Shoving the facts down their unwilling throats doesn’t shut them up or stop their lies, and really how many times should anyone be expected to do it?

      Perhaps it would help if I clarified my intent a little (which I also posted in response to Tim, below):
      My hope is to discern a general trend in the answers to see if the parts that are generally agreed were ‘great’ can be duplicated without having to endure any negative aspects of those eras.

  50. This may be repetitive if my post way down the thread finally shows up. This is about when America was ‘great,’ but more importantly it is about HOW it was great.

    I think by now we all know what Trumpists are referring to when they say “make America great again.” They mean the 1950s. They are accused, with some validity, of pining for a return to open racism, exclusion based on gender, and all the other societal inequities that were normalized in the US in the 1950s. They are in fact willing to knowingly or unknowingly ignore all those issues and that says something, but their claims that those things are not what they are actually calling great is also valid.

    The 1950s for America were, in fact and indisputably, great economically. Even the minorities who were severely repressed and seeing the worst of the times were economically far ahead of the rest of the world. The US had less than five percent of the world’s population and consumed more than 50% of EVERYTHING. More than half of the energy produced in the world was consumed by Americans. More than half of the lumber was building things in America. Steel, copper, clean water…everything a human being could want we were getting ten times a “fair share.”

    OF COURSE IT WAS GREAT!

    Set aside for a minute whether it was fair, because it clearly wasn’t, but such moral issues aren’t really visible on surfaces and are almost always lacking in simple memory. People who lived through those times can’t help but remember them fondly. They couldn’t help but describe them as a glowing golden age the like of which they had never seen before, and express their feelings of loss at the fact that those times were lost. That sense of loss has been passed on. That legitimately can’t be unexpected, and attributing it to “you just want to bring back racism” is inaccurate and short sighted.

    I’ve questioned the greatness of the times for decades based on the larger issue of fairness to the rest of the world, but even I have to admit that I have glowing memories of the 1960s and 1970s as well as some internalized understanding that I ‘missed out’ on ‘even better times.’ So I am not going to try to condemn people who don’t actively think about five percent of the world population consuming half of everything and just look back at the comfort of it with a sense of longing.

    Which brings us to the big con, that somehow Trump could restore that ‘greatness.’ Even if we ignore the question of whether it would really be fair for us to go back to consuming half of everything, could we? To answer that we have to examine how we got there the first time.

    Pro Tip: it wasn’t by enacting ridiculous economic policies rooted in mercantilism that was centuries out of date even in 1950. It also wasn’t by reinforcing the wealth consolidating policies Reagan inflicted on us in the 1980s, which have accomplished nothing but the most massive accumulation of wealth in the fewest hands since kings were forced to give up their ‘god given’ ownership of all the lands and the people thereon.

    What made the overwhelming economic advantage of the US in the fifties possible is that there were no other consumers. The soviet union was behind their self imposed ‘iron curtain.’ Their needs were ‘met’ by what they could dig out of the gigantic piles of rubble and corpses they were left with. Europe had similar conditions but could dig more effectively because we were trading them the occasional bulldozer in return for a good cut of what they were getting. The rest of the world was basically enslaved. A strongman would get a horse and a gun from the US and enslave their nation into gathering whatever basic resources they had, then trade freighters full of those resources for a faster horse and a bigger gun. In most places this enslavement was actually welcomed, because it was BETTER.

    Even in the WORST corners of the world the 1950s were better than the 1940s. A world war will do that.

    Even in the worst parts of the world the 1950s were better than the 1930s. A worldwide economic collapse will do that.

    That’s what the people who have fallen for Trump’s con need to be made to face. Trump CAN’T “make America great again” in that respect. He CAN’T bring back the prosperity of the fifties, even if you want to turn a blind eye to the costs for the rest of the world.

    It takes a global economic collapse, followed by a world war.

    To recreate the 1950s we have to first recreate the 1930s and the 1940s.

    IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY WANT????

    • Thank you, Tim, for that rationally considered and presented posting. I am glad that you started that actual conversation rolling.

      I know that BeeEss had offered the 1980’s as the ‘great’ era. As I was just starting out in the world, I probably didn’t get to enjoy some of the economic benefits so much as the more, ahem, ‘action-oriented’ aspects of that particular time frame. Still, there was money to be made then, legal or otherwise… But I wouldn’t give it the same feeling of stability or optimism of the 1950’s or even the scientific fascination of the 1960’s.

      My hope is to discern a general trend in the answers to see if the parts that are generally agreed were ‘great’ can be duplicated without having to endure any negative aspects of those eras.

      • The difference between the 80’s and now is the result of 40 years of bad parenting.

        America will never be great again. It’s over, we’re just waiting for the fat lady to sing.

        Reply

        • Now, now, FWB/FWT, there was a bit more than just parenting involved over that period of time. Although, I lament the loss of the nuclear family format, as I believe it was a strong support for a civilized society to be maintained. We can debate how that happened later (promise!), but this is digression, for now.

          America’s best days are still ahead of her. If we can get over the political pressure from the media (both sides) pushing us further away from rational discussions, we can fairly examine our country’s flaws and merits, mistakes and triumphs, etc. to debate and determine our country’s future to be brighter than before.

          Let’s put the fat lady on a diet.

          • When we get to the “debating how that happened” part let me know, because I have plenty of thoughts on that.

          • And, believe it, or not, I am very interested in your take on that. I really wanted some participation with America’s Most [fill in insult here], but he seems to be off on some crazy patriotism mental loop and can’t snap himself out of it.

            So, were you going with the 50’s for the main era? I can see its allure for that. BeeEss’s choice of the 80’s is interesting, but understandable.

            Your take on the 50’s has some interesting aspects to consider regarding exploitations, especially the point regarding that, in spite of such, it remained a relative benefit to them. Definitely interesting…

            I’m kind of torn. In spite of current events, I prefer this era for its sheer technological capabilites. Obviously, there are flaws with that, as well. I also rather liked the 70’s.

          • For the record, I believe you. I didn’t doubt that at all.

            On the current topic of “when was greatness,” I can add a couple points.

            It is possible to just devolve the argument to “technology rules, so now is better than then, and however far back you go you are always on the slide of “not as great.” I do not subscribe to that. More technology brings with it enormous costs in peace of mind.

            I was involved in a conversation this morning after the spate of sonic booms. Someone said that the reminder that the AV is the beating heart of US military power “makes her feel safe.” I didn’t bring up that when I was a kid in gradeschool I and all of my classmates knew three facts: 1) there were a very limited number of reinforced runways that could handle a fully loaded nuclear deterrent B-52 2) those runways would invariably be high on the soviet’s list of priority strategic targets in a nuclear exchange 3) our school was less than four miles from such a runway. Grade school kids casually discussing their place on the front lines of a nuclear war which at the time was viewed as somewhat inevitable is not necessarily a sign of the best of times.

            Climate change. Toxic pollutants. Industrial accidents of greater range and scope than could even be imagined before technology produced the possibility. Government surveillance and control at levels previously unimaginable. Overall I am pretty sure I have shot down the concept that more technology in itself produces “greater.” If you could isolate out the “good” technology that would be different, but sadly it doesn’t work that way.

          • Fair enough, Tim. Technology is, indeed, a double-edged sword, so technology alone certainly would not qualify as an only factor. In fact, I would opine that the loss of the nuclear family began the begat, if you will, of many social and criminal issues that we continue to face today, but that is definitely a debatable position.

            The 50’s were a good time, from an economic standpoint, but much was kept hidden under the surface of social graces. I’m sure a fairly lively debate could be made from either side of whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. For myself, I think the pressure of the 50’s conformity culture set the stage for the social blowout of the 60’s.

            The 40’s were marred by war, to be sure, but the economic capabilities of America were able to be built up rapidly, helping to set up the relative economic prosperity to come.

            The 60’s had more war, and definitely more struggles socially (see my comment on the 50’s above), but also saw incredible advances in technology associated not just with the usual war machine development, but for more peaceful purposes, such as space exploration. This allowed for a certain boost in STEM education, as students generally had more interest in the subject matter, having seen TV images of astronauts and such.

            The 70’s… Well, at the very least, I loved the hair…

          • “I lament the loss of the nuclear family format, as I believe it was a strong support for a civilized society to be maintained.“

            This is absolute GOLD

            Also when we look at the term ‘make America great again’ coming from Donald Trump.
            He is no doubt referring to the eighties as that was his prime.
            Just think ‘Legs’ by ZZtop.

          • A “family unit” where one adult focuses their labor into maintaining the unit and raising the offspring means that only one member is providing labor that can be exploited for the profit of the investor class. The investor class bemoans the outcome now, as the diversion of that labor away from raising offspring to be civilized humans has not surprisingly had bad consequences, but they certainly aren’t interested in giving back the profits they made off that labor or making it possible for a single wage earner to support a household.

          • @BeeEss: Loved the song and, especially, the video (always wanted a ride in that coupe WITH the girls, thank you very much). MTV was truly great then… Not so much now.

            As for Trump’s perspective on when he would consider America to have been great, I could see your logic for that. He certainly was high on the hog at that time, and had a relatively good reputation (whether deserved, or not).

            @Tim: I can appreciate your spin on how the family nuclear was split by all of the flying electrons of greed (see what I did there?). I also agree that the now (unfortunately) accepted notion of a two earner family would require a change in perspective for the ‘investment class.’ I have the audacity of belief that this can be changed, with the right perspective presented. For example, I might point out that having nuclear families allows for a stronger human resource infrastructure to draw upon for businesses to grow and thrive with. This makes for greater productivity and profit with a leaner, more rapidly adaptable, workforce to draw upon.

            I have no fear of the limited use of socialism to support a capitalist economy. It will only help to make it grow.

  52. Can you feel the visceral, underlying hate of the U.S.A. exhibited constantly from some who comment here consistently, while they deflect with political arguments?

    No pride in America. They want to open our veins (I mean borders) so there isn’t any sovereign country left. Doesn’t that tweak your nose? If not, you’re probably one of them. Despicable!

No effective sanctions can be placed on Russia since the European countries depend on Russia for oil, and now we’re importing Russian oil to supplement the domestic production that Biden cut off his first 5 minutes in office. And Putin knows he has Europe and the US by the short hairs. The best thing Biden could do, and there’s no reason to think he’s smart enough to do it, is restore domestic production, and even the XL pipeline. But, if I was Canada, I would tell Biden to go to hell on the XL pipeline, since they now have alternate means of exporting their oil, and if I were them, I wouldn’t trust the US to honor a contract.

            Garcia wanted to stop the certification of the electoral college vote.

            One of Trump’s attorneys provided a “legal grounds” to stop the certification of the electoral college vote. He acknowledged privately that this “legal grounds” would not stand up in any court in the land. He is known to have encouraged the commission of at least one crime in pursuit of stopping the certification of the electoral college vote. He acknowledged knowing that he was encouraging the commission of a crime, calling it “minor.”

            The person he wanted to commit that crime was Mike Pence. At the same time he was calling for Pence to commit that crime Trump was openly condemning Pence for not having “done the right thing yet” and pushing him to “come through.” The rioters at this point took up the chant “hang Mike Pence.” It is somewhat surprising that Mike Pence did not just commit the crime that they all wanted him to commit.

            Every statement in this post is an established fact backed by hard evidence. It is just remarkable that you are unconcerned. Do you really think that an orchestrated attempt to overturn a legal election shouldn’t have any consequences? It would certainly have consequences if it had succeeded.

  58. So here’s an interesting story:

    John Hanick has just been indicted for, among other things, lying to federal agents about who he works for. His motivation for lying was that the guy he works for is on the “sanctioned, US citizens cannot do business with” list of Russian oligarchs. Not the new list put out this week, the long standing list put out in 2014 after the annexation of Crimea. So he lied about who he worked for because working for who he works for is also a crime, and he’s been indicted for that too.

    But he ALWAYS lied about who he worked for. That was part of the job. See, this particular oligarch is Putin’s go to guy for destabilization. He has set up television networks in Bulgaria, Greece, and of course Ukraine, dedicated to pushing the ‘pro-russian point of view.’ Of course it is hard to be effective pushing the pro russian point of view if people know that that is what the network is trying to do, so the oligarch had to take a ‘hands off, silent director’ approach. Hanick was the actual face setting up these networks, and not revealing who was actually behind them.

    The need to lie and deny just got a lot stronger after Crimea. Not just because of the sanctions, around that time the oligarch also got into trouble with the law in a number of countries for financing extremist groups. Not “we spout on the internet” extremists, though he undoubtedly funds them too; he got in trouble for funding the groups that were actively taking up arms against their governments in Greece, Bulgaria, Ukraine, etc. Groups that managed in some cases to make it onto listings of terrorist organizations. The oligarch is a wanted man in multiple countries. So, yeah, an employer you don’t really want to put on your resume.

    Now, if you are a Russian oligarch in charge of creating “news networks” to destabilize their home country and spread russian propaganda and you need a front man, where would you look?

    Okay, so he hired John Hanick away from Fox News. Hanick was there at the founding of Fox News. Hanick was secretly working for a Russian oligarch when he established TV networks in multiple countries to spread Russian propaganda and destabilize them. Would anyone be REALLY surprised if it turns out that he hired Hanick BEFORE he actually left Fox News and just left him there to do Putin’s work? Would it really even be a surprise if it turns out that the Russians put him there to start with?

            How?

            Against this theory is the undeniable fact that Trump used basic GOP economic methods, which have lead to numerous previous recessions so it seems more likely that just happened yet again as it usually does.

            But as an economics major I recognize that these are actually petty complaints compared to the consequences of letting them influence economics policy. Their economics are flat out awful, and after forty years of experience the fact that so many people still don’t recognize that is absolutely stunning.

          Biden got a law degree from a moderately good school in 1968…fifty-four years ago. He’s never been unemployed to speak of; a couple health issue absences but he had the kind of jobs that carry very strong benefits so those wouldn’t have broken him.

          He owns a house, a vacation house, and has an estimated net worth in the ten million range.

    In my dreams, I get night sweats from Trumpmares. The orange phantom terrorizes me by sun and by moon. He’s relentless. He attacks me with mean tweets. He tortures me with truth and justice and I might fall helplessly into his satanic cult. What should I do?

    Who ya gonna call? Trump Busters.

    Seriously, people who have an obsessive, pathological hate of all things Trump (the best president in my lifetime), need psychological help to move on. Think how screwed up their brains must be. It would be great if Trump makes a comeback just to see the top of their heads blow off.

  69. “I implore you to consider one more relatively minor violation…”

    This is a quote from an e-mail sent by John Eastman to Mike Pence’s attorney.

    Things to note here:

    1) Eastman is acknowledging, straight up, that what he is suggesting might be ‘relatively minor’ but is, in fact, a crime. It is apparent that this is not the first and only time he has suggested that the Vice President should commit criminal acts.

    2) Eastman is Trump’s point man, the architect of the “legal basis” for the last ditch strategy to overturn the election and keep Trump in office. Eastman’s memo providing this “legal basis” for overturning the election is public record and has been widely distributed and I am not going to get into it specifically, but NO ONE outside Trump gives it any merit whatever. Eastman himself in other e-mails acknowledges that there is no court in the land that would uphold it as having merit and that the supreme court would discard it nine to nothing.

    3) Trump himself pressed Pence to commit these crimes repeatedly, over a period of several days, and continued to press him even as he was being pursued by a mob of Trump supporters chanting “hang Mike Pence.” During that period of several days it would be absurd to think that Pence never pointed out “that would be a crime.”

    4) While it is an assumption that Mike Pence told him, numerous people have given testimony that Trump was informed, repeatedly, by a multitude of advisors, that the plan had no legal merit and that it hinged on the Vice President being willing to commit these acts which would be crimes.

    We are left with ONE unanswered question here and to choose between two possibilities:

    A) Eastman knew his plan had no merit and that the actions requested of the vice president were crimes, but convinced then president Trump that the plan did have merit and that there was no criminality involved. He would have to have accomplished this in the face of vast opposition from people who knew, as he knew, that his claims were false.

    B) Eastman, as an attorney, properly advised Trump as client that the plan had no legal merit and would involve “minor” violations of the law, and Trump knowingly pushed forward in this criminal enterprise. Eastman then chose to participate along with Trump for unknown reasons, almost certainly revolving around “when we succeed Trump will be president and the crimes committed along the way will never be prosecuted.”

    So, do you think Trump is the innocent victim of this devious lawyer? A hopeless dupe that despite all other advise chose to follow a criminal path laid down by an attorney who mislead him? Or do you think his lawyer advised him that it was criminal and he opted in knowingly?

    Just so you know, the quote here was submitted to the court that is resolving whether access to another Eastman e-mail account should be granted or not, and it is almost certain that that access will be granted because it is just one quote in sixty pages of well documented evidence. The e-mails that have already been accessed may very well hold a pretty solid answer to this question since such an answer would not be relevant to the case at hand so it would not have been presented, or it may be answered in this next batch of evidence. One way or the other we are going to find out.

    As a post script: Congressional Republicans, as a body, also played a vital role in this plan. While many congress members come from other backgrounds they all have access to very good legal advice. Some number of them are themselves attorneys. It is absurd to think that whether Trump was totally duped by Eastman or was directing the plan with full knowledge of its illegality NO ONE in the Republican caucus recognized that there was no legal merit and that the plan required criminal acts to see it through. There is NO WAY that Mike Garcia sat there in meetings with the Republican caucus and never heard any mention of “maybe we should look into the legality here” and since the only person claiming there was a legal basis was Eastman and he himself knew there was not there is no way for Garcia to have investigated AT ALL and come up with “on advice of council sure this is a good plan on a solid constitutional foundation.” We are left with again two options: Garcia heard the suggestions that there was crime involved in what they were doing and chose not to investigate in any way and just push on with participating, or he did check, found out it was criminal, and did it anyway.

The committee has no authority to charge him, blah blah blah, but when they make their final report they have no reason to not refer him to the DoJ and the DoJ has no reason to not charge him because an e-mail urging someone to commit a crime that openly acknowledges that the sender knows it is a crime; that’s a slam dunk conspiracy conviction. The fact that Jan 6 got Eastman so flustered that he would make such a mistake is pretty remarkable, because as an attorney he has to know that.

          Reply

          • Why don’t they refer it to the DOJ right now if there is clear crimes that were committed?

            Or was the latest filing from that politically charged committee designed to generate all of the headlines that have you all hopeful?

            We don’t pay attention to this crap cause we’ve already seen this play out before. Those folks have lost all credibility with the russia hoax, and that Vindman impeachment scam.

          • The headlines aren’t the issue. The issue is the evidence. They have an e-mail sent by Eastman. That e-mail is flatly damning and any defense attorney trying to mount a defense will have a really hard time working around it. As an attorney himself Eastman would certainly know that. If you don’t or want to pretend that you don’t that’s really not a significant issue, but I am curious why. You contend that you are put off by “the Russia hoax” while refusing to deal with the evidence in that case as well. What is it that has you turn away from evidence when it points to things that you just don’t want to believe?

            As to specifically answering why they don’t refer it now…

            Their investigation isn’t complete. The subpoena that Eastman is currently resisting may very well net materials that add to the case against him and convince him to come clean about his own actions as well as his co-conspirators. It may very well net materials that directly implicate his co-conspirators, since we already see that he was not as discreet in his e-mails as he should have been.

They weaponize facts into propaganda like fascists and communists do, and the uneducated masses “slurp” it up like gruel.

          Our miserable, woke socialist public educational system doesn’t prepare future voters with truth anymore, just gender and racial studies.

If you want to blame anyone in congress for the second impeachment blame the Republicans in the senate that said “oh just being impeached should teach him a lesson, we’ll just ignore the evidence and let him off” the first time. No matter how many times you tell the lie it won’t get your truth heard.

          Neither will trying to impress us with how many variations of name calling you can string together. It might demonstrate your vocabulary, but no matter how many different ways you can say “I dislike democrats let me call them a name here” it isn’t going to accomplish any “revelation of truth.”

          By the way, Putin himself pointed to “civil strife in the US” as something he expected would limit the consequences of his bad actions, so when someone says “the events of January sixth emboldened Putin and contributed to the invasion of Ukraine” they aren’t lying, they are stating the obvious. America looks weak as a kitten because we have 40% of the population backing a seditious conspiracy bent on overthrowing the constitution, period. If you don’t want America to keep looking weak, annihilate the insurrectionists. Or at least stop supporting them.

The justice department is almost certainly parallel running an investigation so they won’t be starting from scratch, but they aren’t near the point of indicting anyone…and they are also likely holding back hoping congress will give them the referral to hide behind.

  72. I used to be good at predicting the future.

    In 1988, Soviet Armenia had a massive earthquake. I recall thinking that Moscow must be feeling like a parent with 10 kids. It’s nice at first but when they start needing braces and expensive car insurance, not so nice any longer. In 1991, the Soviet Union fell. I didn’t really predict that, but it seemed like I saw it coming somehow.

    Around 2004 during the Bush “amateur hour that lasted 8 years”, the financial news was reporting things like this…

    -Americans had no savings to speak of.
    -Americans were maxing out their credit cards.
    -Americans were taking out home equity loans to buy RVs, granite
    counters, swimming pools, etc.
    -Americans were buying gas guzzlers like Hummers and Escalades.
    -Americans were flipping houses and condos with no down payments.

    These things were reported separately, and I keep telling my Dad that a
    crash was a-comin when you put those all together. I didn’t know it would be Bear Steans and Lehman Brothers that started it in 2008 and all those toxic loans with the documents missing.

    I was going to re-finance sometime around then with BofA and several other companies. I swear that the kids I talked to on the phone were all coked up and didn’t do it. I finally found a guy that sounded “normal” and went with them with no problems.

    Speaking of Bush. I guess I was the only one in the country unimpressed when Bush used the bullhorn on the pile of rubble on 9/11. He was a cheerleader in college, and it was simply “muscle memory” kicking in. He then invaded the wrong country. Yeah, W. The wrong country “heard us”. Sheesh. His Daddy was no better by not preventing Saddam going into Kuwait. Those 2 shoulda ended the Republican Party but nooooo. They came back with Trump. Outta the frying and into the volcano.

    Why do Rs keep getting worse and worse and telling us they’re better than Democrats. They’re lying as usual.

    Before that, I recall that back in 2000, I believe, Enron was running really odd commercials the summer before it collapsed. I didn”t know the details until afterward but remember how fishy Enron seemed in the months prior.

    Why didn’t all those kids on Wall Street and elsewhere with their Blackberries up their a$$es 24/7 see what was coming in each case. i was legally blind back from from some eye surgeries yet they say we have a 6th sense. And, no I don’t see dead people. I do see dumb ones here. It’s a curse.

    But things are so screwed up now, it’s hard to predict. Of course, I wasn’t the only one who predicted in 2016that Trump would be a disaster. Any sentient being coulda seen that except Republicans aren’t sentient beings.

    You see their comments here regularly…unaffected by facts and evidence.

    One more prediction, however. For the last couple years, I’ve noticed ccommericals directed at retired people to cash in life insurance and take out reverse mortgages. Guess what millenials and younger heirs. There will be little left in mommy’s and daddy’s estate when they go and after the remaining resources are used up in their final years in hospitals or assisted living.

    Of course, the younguns are oblivious to that but that is what’s a-comin’ around around 2030 and beyoud. So live it up while you can and don’t bother saving for your old age. Do ya think Gen Z is gonna take good care of you?

    Plus, if the Rs take the Congress and/or the White House in the next few years, Social Security and Medicare will be on thin ice. I wish I could be around for that but thankfully I won’t. Remember when the younguns didn’t want Obmacare because they were healthy and didn’t need it. Well, when they get old, there won’t be Medicare as it is now, and they’ll have to pay full price for everything. The Rs might finally kill Obamacare too. Oh, that would be terrible.

    You’ve been warned. I’m surprised at how much free stuff I get now as a senior but not for the next generations. If they want to vote for the Rs, they’ll get what they deserve. But, you’ll have a big, strong military like Russia and North Korea.

    Biden left that out of his speech last night the little devil.

  74. So there’s a war on, but…Meanwhile, quoting from documents filed with the US District Court in DC:

    “The evidence detailed above provides, at minimum, a good faith basis for concluding that president Trump has violated section 18 USC para 1512 (c)(2).”

    The document is in support of a subpoena intended to secure further evidence to strengthen the case as well as support investigation of additional crimes.

    “The committee also has a good faith basis for concluding that the president and members of his campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States in violation of 18 USC para 371.”

    Unlike the absurdist “filings” by Trump lawyers that get regularly laughed out of court because they don’t bother to provide any evidence to support ridiculous claims, this document provides 60 pages of annotated references to documents and testimony that is already in the court’s possession.

    There is also a less substantial case for a charge of common law fraud, a case that is expected to flesh out more fully if the subpoena is enforced…which under law there is no reason that it would not be.

    It remains to be seen if the justice department will choose to prosecute these cases, but based on the evidence if they do it will be a slam dunk.

        Seems this is usually due to poor parenting. When students show up for the first day of pre K they already have behavior problems that disrupts the class, it’s a parent problem. When mom or dad buys their mentally ill son a gun as a bonding tool, it’s a parent problem.

        When a parent volunteer shows up twice a month to help out in a kindergarten class and on her first day says “I had no idea they behave so poorly, I think I’ll just come once a month”, it’s a parenting problem.

        With stupid people have more kids than intelligent people we are setup for a decline of moral and social values. It’s not going to get better. It’s going to get a lot worse.

  76. Demented, corrupt Joe Biden, with his hair plugs and dentures, got kicked out of the 1988 presidential primary for lying and plagiarizing (stealing) a speech from a British politician.

    Sleepy Joe gave the eulogy at the funeral of the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and said the KKK wizard was his mentor and hero.

    He supported little Bush’s war in Iraq, but didn’t support the first Gulf War which brought us cheap gas from Kuwait for 10 years. He kowtows to AOC and Comrade Bernie on domestic issues, and is weak and feckless on international issues.

    His dementia and obvious weakness inspired Putin to be aggressive. Pretty soon it’ll be China, Iran and North Korea because weakness invites aggression, and Joe is as weak a president as I’ve ever seen.

    If you take away his teleprompters and socialist speechwriters, he can hardly put two words together coherently. His complete lack of clarity allows AOC, Talib, and Omar to run his party and the country.

    He talks about his son Beau being buried in a flag-draped coffin (not a combat casualty) while he looks at his watch when real heroes come home in coffins.

    Robert Gates, former CIA director and Secretary of Defense has said Joe hasn’t made a good decision on foreign policy in 40 years, so Joe gets elected by you brainless toads at the worst possible time. Actually, anytime Joe is elected is the worst possible time.

    And Kamala, the worst VP this nation ever has suffered. Pelosi, Schumer, Swalwell, Schiff, the most vile, lying, underhanded, dishonorable snake oil salesmen the country has ever been cursed with. They gladly wounded and weakened the country with 2 phony impeachments and the Russia, Russia hoax while China was unleashing COVID.

    The Demonrats are tools of our enemies willing to weaken us from within to achieve and retain power, so communists like AOC, Omar and Bernie can rule your lives, tax you to death, betray us to our enemies, and all the psychotic derangement syndrome and whining about mean tweets won’t change that.

    They encourage the scum of the earth to burn down our cities for “social justice” while they use the FBI to persecute parents that don’t want their children filed with hate and division from CRT taught in schools. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt and other American heroes are vilified and our history trashed while they make heroes out of BLM scum and ANTIFA communist agitators. They release criminals with more than 90 arrests on the street while they do everything they can to take your legal guns away.

    Inflation, blundering into WW3, CRT, gas and electric prices, the stock market plunge, COVID, shortages, national debt, etc. Just 13 months ago we were safe, strong, energy independent and not $30 trillion in debt. The Dems want to make welfare permanent to make everyone dependent on BIG government and they can dictate their marxist agenda like a communist state.

    And they will impoverish your grandchildren to hopelessly try to empower the most unproductive and shiftless underclass of our society. They think that stuffing unqualified black women and transvestite abominations into every available government position will make us a better country, and they double down in the face of failure.

            I actually think that if you contemplate for a bit you will recognize exactly when it is that you (and Trump) are thinking when you spout that crap, and then we can have a legit conversation about what it is that makes you think of that time as being great. But I know that having legit conversations seems to have fallen out of your favor compared to mindlessly repetitious name calling of “democrats and the left,” however you are defining that group.

          • Wow, America’s Most Sensitive, a simple question, intended with true curiosity to get clarification on an issue, and you go to ad hominem communism attacks? Are you sure that you are an American? Real Americans don’t fear questions about their base of logic as you seem to. I might also add that the very claim of MAGA clearly indicates that YOU believe that America is not ‘great’ anymore, as it is YOUR claim, not mine.

            No. The question was real and intended to clarify a real confusion. WHEN would you consider America to have been “great?”

            I appreciate BeeEss’s straightforward answer as I have always been under the impression that the 1950’s was the target “great” era for trumplicans.

            So, America’s Most Whatever… When would you consider America to have peaked in her ‘greatness?’

          • Nah, you can’t weasel and rationalize your way out of accountability for questioning and denying our country’s greatness at all times, You would never give America the benefit of the doubt. Totally biased against US.

            Don’t you have pride? Do you ninnies ever do anything but put us down with hate and derision?

            Go the f__k to China and pull your shit there. No getting around the fact that you guys hate our country.

            I hope that print this. The stuff they don’t would make you cry.

          • I think since we all know the answer is “the fifties” that we should start a fresh conversation on the topic.

            We all beat up the MAGAts for being racists, because we look at their “ideal America” and know that it was before the civil rights movement took hold so non whites were without question “second class citizens” and as misogynists because women were also without question treated as lesser humans. What we are not dealing with well is that those issues not withstanding, that WAS a great age of America.

            Russia was isolated behind their iron curtain with giant poles of rubble and corpses that they had to clean up for themselves. The rest of Europe was piles of rubble and corpses and whatever they could scrape together they had little choice but to trade for the occasional bulldozer. The rest of the world could be counted on to produce a strongman candidate that we could supply with a jeep and a rifle who would then enslave his whole nation into collecting whatever resources the place had to offer so that he could trade it all for a bigger jeep.

            The US had less than five percent of the world’s population and we were consuming more than fifty percent of EVERYTHING. So even our “second class” had it immensely better than pretty much everyone else on the planet…by such huge margins that it was actually unmistakable; more obvious in fact than the flip side, which was that they were second class within the small confines of the US.

            So it is understandable that people looking back on that might focus more on how good we ALL had it rather than the distinctions between how some of us had it better than others. And it is understandable how the con man Trump with his promises to restore that greatness has so many people under his sway.

            I think what we should be looking at, rather than the issues of the inequities that were present in the US at that time, or even the moral issues of whether a ‘greatness’ that was genuinely created out of the worldwide miseries that Hitler inflicted and our own manipulations of dictators sustained, is the question of just how Trump proposes to make this happen?

            IT TOOK A WORLD WAR THE FIRST TIME.

            It wasn’t some “clever deal maker,” not that I am giving Trump credit for being one.

            It wasn’t economic theories that were 400 years obsolete even then, like the mercantilism that Trump nonsensically tried to resurrect.

            It wasn’t by blustering on Twitter while perched on a toilet.

            IT TOOK A WORLD WAR.

            PERIOD.

            GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEADS MAGATS.

            That is the source of the golden age fifties.

            Is that what you want? To get to the fifties, first we need to recreate the THIRTIES. World wide economic collapse. Then we need to recreate the FORTIES. That sound like fun?

            Get over it.

          • I’m not ranting.

            I am following the extremely interesting and important investigation of the only president in US history to attempt to thwart the peaceful turnover of authority after an election. This is a watershed moment in US history and makes it a great time to be alive, in an ancient Chinese curse sort of way. In the course of following the investigation I propose numerous related topics for conversation along the way, and frequently they get taken up. Naturally, that also leads to me getting attacked by Trumpists, which is also fun in a different way.

            I haven’t figured out yet what your claimed lack of interest in the investigation, coupled with your intermittent pro-Trump shoutouts, says about you, but it’s an interesting mix.

          • Are you unconscious? Seriously.

            Trump is still a threat to this country as he has the Republican Party by the ovaries.

            Geez. You guys are so clueless.

            The good news is that they are close to an indictment.

            Can you say, “criminal conspiracy”?

            And, again. Are you unconscious? And, that derangment thing is on your side.

            Trump is deranged. Putin is deranged. Separated at birth.

          • Maybe. It has been targeted by at least one seditious conspiracy and we really can’t say for sure exactly how deep into the government that conspiracy embedded itself yet, but we can say that it was very close to succeeding in its objective of overthrowing constitutional government in the US.

            Dunno why that wouldn’t bother you. Are you banging Putin?

        • Don’t need to pray, just look at the evidence.

          Russia’s largest international bank withdrew from operating in Europe today. They collapsed in less than three days. Their stock market is closed as the only way to prevent a free fall. Their currency has lost 40% of it’s value and their central bank has expended 18% of their reserves propping it up. 50% of their reserves have been frozen, so they can keep up their props for about two more weeks, then the ruble looks like the German Mark circa 1935 and people will need a wheelbarrow full to buy a loaf of bread.

          Russia has been courting international investment for decades. Twenty-five years of progress has been wiped out in a week. Putin enacted an emergency resolution making it illegal for foreign investors to withdraw. That by itself will serve as an overpowering cautionary tale: this is what can happen when you invest in a country ruled by autocrats. Investment in Russia is dead, permanently.

          If China is told “the rest of the world needs you to participate with us in sanctioning Russia, you can choose to do business with them, or with us,” then China will drop Russia like a hot rock and everyone knows it. Another twenty years of effort and the Chinese might be able to say “our economy leads the world and we have the power.” They aren’t going to kill themselves on Putin’s hill.

          Economically, Russia is well and truly screwed already, and in two to three weeks they are gonna be financially dead beyond resurrection if they don’t convince the unified democracies to step off their neck.

            Just asking?

          • “married cousins”, lol. Only you could make me laugh today.

          • FWB…short answer, it is simplistic.

            It’s also incorrect. “Energy forced Europe to prevent doing more sanctions”…well, no. The sanctions as levied are catastrophic to the Russian economy. They are also sustainable. Predictably, China is not going to participate and they will be shifting more to Russian energy supplies…and as the only available market will command bargain pricing. That shift will free supplies from other sources for European consumption. Life goes on…except for the Russian economy.

            Longer answer, the biggest thing missing from this analysis overall is that all the talk about production rates misses the long term issues. Oooooooh look at awesome Russia producing 11 million barrels a day! That’s so exciting for Russia! Less exciting is “look at Russia depleting their reserves by four billion barrels per year by supplying economic development IN EVERY COUNTRY BUT THEIR OWN.” That runs them dry in 20 years by the way, for those keeping score.

            At the end of the day even the most third world of third world countries know that if your economy runs on exploitation of the rawest resources you ate losing ground. Countries in the middle east are using their oil income to diversify off of crude oil.

            This author, Dingbat Don, the GOP in general…they want desperately to love in that golden age where the US was consuming 50% of the energy produced IN THE WORLD. We were visiting the dark corners of the planet, including the war torn Europe, and trading handfuls of the shiny beads we were making with it for tankers of oil and freighters full of everything else. Those days are never coming back, period. USians are not likely to cut back, ever, being the totally spoiled children that we are, so we have to deal with the fact that the entire rest of the world is going to demand to consume like we do…and that will suck everyone dry of oil in incredibly short order if we try to supply that with oil.

            So, like it or not this “green fantasy” HAS TO be made to work, and we can either lead, follow, or get out of the way. Choose.

            Good question BTW.

          • btw, I failed English for twelve years. A problem was created when I learned how to type.

          • It wouldn’t be a challenge to spend two hours listing the crimes he has been accused of, most of them with substantial evidence making a solid case against him. We could start all the way back in the sixties with his open violations of the civil rights act, which he did the equivalent of pleading “no contest” on. Or even better, we could start with his participation in his father’s well documented tax fraud scheme that only escaped prosecution because of the statute of limitations but would be an open and shut case based on the evidence. Not that little Donny Dingbat was a knowing participant at three years old, but as he grew into taking over the business it’s pretty obvious that at some point he got “in the know” on the criminality of the family enterprise. With that upbringing I guess his addiction to criminal activity is pretty understandable.

          Eastman can’t claim attorney-client privlege when the attorney and the client are engaged in illegal acitivies and they were.

          The sticky part is proving Trump knew the election fraud claim was a lie and “willful blindness” isn’t a defense. Many of his own people told him there was no election fraud and 60 cases were thrown out of court.

          This will be Must See TV. Trump under oath will be hilarious. Are you ready SNL? It will be hard to top the real thing.

          Nison’s VP, Spiro Agnew, went to prison and Nixon almost did so it shouldn’t be out of the question for Trump to be indicted and possibly convicted of any of many of his crimes.

          It is notable that after a year of patching and pushing to good but limited effect that Putin allowed Biden to repair all the damage that Trump did to NATO and the international brotherhood of democratic governments in a single week. He is illustrating that the clash between democracy and autocrats is fundamental, and I really hope you start paying attention. Rather than your “rah rah my team gonna win” BS maybe consider the consequences of restoring the autocrat sympathizing GOP to power should it happen.

            “Autokleptocrats” has to be invented to describe them.

            It’s been suggested that although Putin has threatened nuclear use (or “nukular’ as Bush would say) it might be that the generals and oligarchs around Putin will not want that and lose the good life and life itself.

            How long will it take for them to act?

            If Putin destroys Ukraine’s infrastructure and military equipment and does take over the country, what will he have gained…a detroyed piece of land bigger than Texas?

            Will Russia then have to spend worthless rubles to rebuilt it or just let it further decay? But, if he’s as crazy as Trump, he won’t care.

            I’ve wonder why NATO or Ukraine hasn’t dropped leaflets on the invading Russian army telling them what is happening to the Russian economy from Putin’s reckless behavior.

            I suspect that soldiers that thought they were only going on practice drills not a war aren’t aware of what’s happening with the world’s response to Putin.

            I paid $4.99 a gallon for gas yesterday AND LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT.

            If I recall correctly, after Bush’s tax cut and $300 checks that gas prices went up back then. Put a few hundred million into the economy overnight and guess what? First come, first served. Utiities and other essentials got first dibs on that extra supply of cash.

            So, Trumpkins. If gas is $5.00, Trump’s tax cut should cover ii, fools.

            I don’t pity the fools to paraphrase the original Mr. T. They are the ones complaining the loudest. Good.

          • I’m pretty convinced that Putin has no intentions to permanently occupy Ukraine. Western Ukraine is mostly rural, produces nothing that Russia has any need for, and would be an absolute nightmare in terms of the potential for constant insurrection fueled by supplies routed through the Polish border. I think the whole “leaked” “restoration of greater Russia” thing is just a ploy to produce a feeling of “okay, Putin didn’t win, no punishment necessary” when he ‘settles’ for recognized independence of the rebel controlled provinces in the east.

            As to nuclear exchanges, no, no one is gonna go there.

    • Iowa’s Governor Kim Reynolds (RRRRR and more R) gave a campaign speech tonight in rebuttal. Does Iowa have Valley Girls? At least we don’t elect them to the governoship here.

      Biden’s speech prebutted her speech, kinda neutering it before she even spoke. She didn’t say much about, y’know, Ukraine but read the talking points on Afghanistan. Biden already spoke to inflation, gas prices, immigration, etc. She was just the unlucky Republican like the previous ones, Marco Rubio and others embarrissing rebuttals. These are the best they have.

      It was awful but on Fox it was great.

      Stinger. I don’t watch CNN but if you want to criticize it your opinion would carry more weight if you gave an example of their lies.

      I watch MSNBC most of the time with a few minutes of Fox to see what they’re up to. I posted here about Fox’s dishonest report on the Durham investigation and how they immediately stopped talking about it after Durham responded.

      Just a suggestion.

    • Yeah that’s worse than I thought. I expected that the war could end with Ukraine recognizing the independence of their rebel states (which they should have already done IMO). That sounds like Putin is out to reverse the course of history.

    • After a little investigation and a little contemplation I have some observations on this.

      How plausible is it really that the Russian propaganda apparatus accidentally released this? I know people are inclined to hope that everyone is making the kind of bonehead mistakes they themselves may have made on their worst day, and in time of war they very badly want to think that the enemy are idiots…but, seriously, it is probably best to consider that this was released when it was released because it is exactly what Putin wanted said at the time.

      In that context, this is a high ball, establishing the top end of a negotiating zone. We are left believing that so long as we don’t end up with Ukraine basically annexed into a new Russian state we can say “Putin didn’t win.” So long as Putin didn’t win there is a lot less inclination to make him pay for his actions.

      So we are where we have been. The military situation is ultimately going to resolve when Putin orders the Russians back. Any pretense that the Ukrainians are going to “win” is just adding drama. Any challenging by other than Ukrainians is an escalation that literally no one wants.

      Economically, we are demonstrating that Mao’s classic statement; “political power flows from the barrel of a gun” is monumentally obsolete. A worldwide economic engine exists, and being branded a pariah and not allowed to participate in it is a disaster that no guns can make up for. That lesson needs to be hammered home. You can look at it as “we must make an example of these Russians so everyone gets the point” or just “yeah we can crush someone and that’s always fun,” but either way it needs to be done. The economic sanctions need to be kept in place until the average Russian citizen starving in the street acknowledges “wow we shoulda killed that Putin guy in the crib.”

      Internally, we need to recognize that we have our own Putins. The self destructive nonsense of “isolate, we are so super cool that we don’t need the rest of the world except as a doormat” is what made it seem like maybe Putin could get away with this and there wouldn’t be massive international cooperation…he could pretend that the worldwide economic engine didn’t exist. We can’t allow Trumpism to be a wedge between the US and Europe.

  81. Today Russia took action to prevent international investors from dumping shares in Russian companies. Their justification being that investors are “being bullied” by politicians and that “the sanctions won’t last.” There was already a mistake at the pretended negotiations, where Russian negotiators were told in no uncertain terms that there would be no easing of sanctions without a full withdrawal of Russian troops.

    We need to make sure that EVERYONE understands that these sanctions are NOT for what Russia is doing, they are for what Russia has done. You don’t get to invade a neighboring country, then say “oops” and withdraw and have the world pretend that it never happened. Iraq invaded Kuwait, got kicked out in a matter of days, and was presented with a bill that took them THIRTY YEARS to pay off, suffering through crippling sanctions the entire time. Putin needs to understand that Russia, while a much bigger economy than Iraq, is not immune to the same kind of consequences.

    It is imperative that we do not elect the Putin appeasing Trump driven GOP to ANY positions of authority, because international sanctions genuinely cannot work without the US.

If you want your news with a left spin there’s MSNBC, but even they have managed to avoid being forced to publicly admit that they make stuff up to support their agenda and are not in the news business. CNN only looks “leftist” from the right wing extremist point of view.

          • And then there’s this: from my right wing extremist pov it appears you are projecting.

          • Sorry, Tim, but I have to disagree with you on this one. I have caught CNN carefully spinning stories to cast a particular perspective on more than one occasion. Not gonna go so far as to say they lie, but, they have been known to omit, as well as make subtle alterations to narrative.

            Admittedly, not as bad as MSNBC or as just plain nuts as FOX entertainment ‘news,’ et al, but it’s there.

          • It might appear that way to you, which is why I included FACTS. Fox News has defended themselves against lawsuits by saying in court, on public record, that they are not in the news business so they can and do tell their viewers whatever they want without regard to “the truth” and are under no obligation to do otherwise. MSNBC has never done that. They haven’t needed to, because they don’t operate that way.

            And that’s MSNBC, where they definitely do gear their coverage to appeal to the left leaning share of the audience. They are about as far left of CNN as Fox is to the right, which leaves CNN somewhere in the center area, along with all the major networks news divisions. Trying to sort who is slightly left of CNN (maybe NBC) from who is slightly right of CNN (maybe CBS I guess) is a tough challenge because they are all in the business of staying close to the center pole.

            The whole “CNN is slanted left” argument is RWNJ BS. It’s the same as how the RWNJs see themselves as put upon by “everyone is a commie.” When you see, clearly, that EVERYONE except the few who agree with you is to your left, guess what, YOU are the extremist.

            William is well to my left, and I still consider him a moderate because I know lots of people who are well left of him. The pretense that he and I, and CNN, are the extremists is absurd.

      Kayleigh McEnany on Fox praising Zelensky profusely. I’m gueesing this is the tactic to give him all the credit which is fine while pretending that Biden just sat back and did nothing.

      President Biden has played this very well so far, uniting NATO and being the leader of the Free World again. And, the World responded beyond expectations including Switzerland and Sweden.

      Don’t forget Trumkins. Trump tried to exit from NATO and tried to extort finding dirt on Biden from President Zelensky by withholding funds for weapons for Ukraine.

      That resulted in his first impeachment. Senate Republicans didn’t learn when Rep. Adam Schiff said he’d do it again and he did on 1/6. “it” being doing something deserving impeachment, conviction and being barred from holding future office.

      But, Republicans being Republicans didn’t learn and they will have that dead skunk at their picnic forever.

            It wasn’t Trump’s decisions that made Putin see opportunity to invade Ukraine. Biden radiates weakness like a dying old dog .

          • FWB, that is plain BS. Putin’s own propaganda points to “the US/UK turning their backs on Europe” as the opportunity he thought was available. That was Trump’s doing and is exactly what Putin hoped to achieve when he tried to influence the 2016 elections. Biden may not be the soaring orator you seem to be claiming you want (how do you reconcile that with your support of rambling and ranting Donny Dimwit, btw?) but Biden has restored international cooperation among nations that adhere to democratic principles rather than autocracy. Admittedly, Putin demonstrating what unchecked autocracy can lead to helped there, but given that demonstration anyone still supporting Trump and his enablers in his quest to destroy democracy in the US is singularly hard to tolerate.

        • FWB. I got that you think that.

          I had said earlier that if Trump were still president, Putin would still want to take Ukraine to fulfill his intention to reconstitute the Soviet Union and he would have invaded the country anyway.

          But, tonight on MSNBC, Chris Hayes suggested that maybe not. Putin would have liked Trump to dismantle NATO and Trump would have attempted that as he almost did when in office.

          Either way, Trump would be complying with Putin’s wishes.

          Putin has become unhinged according to those who have worked with him like Condoleeza Rice. Was taking Ukraine worth the destruction of Russia’s economy? Only a deranged dictator would think that.

          Meanwhile, Trump has been praising Putin. Unhinged minds think alike it appears. So has Trump’s SOS Mike Pompeo. That’s being hard on Putin? Poor, poor Vlad. All that praise must hurt.

          Biden has played this very well uniting the world against Putin, even Russians, with a deft touch no less. And, he has been preparing his SOTU speech and choosing a Supreme Court nominee. So, the “Sleepy Joe” tag doesn’t fly any longer. It never did.

          So, FWB, tell us how Trump would have been harder on Putin given his history up till now of being obsequious to him.

          Trump tried to extort dirt on Biden from President Zelensky by withholding missles and funds approved by Congress resulting in his first impeachment. Was that being hard on Putin who must have appreciated the gesture by weakeing Ukraine?

          • Talking about what Trump would have done is pointless.

            I pray you’re right about Biden. Time will tell if you are correct.

            I agree Putin is unhinged. I believe he suffers from a dark triad personality disorder and in his position of power scares the hell out of me.

          • Talking about what Trump might have done in a crisis like this may be pointless in terms of the current response, thank god and of course a majority of the US electorate, but I think it is important to honestly address what precipitated the crisis and that inevitably leads to talking about Trump. Putin himself acknowledges that the opening he perceived that he expected would allow him to do this without suffering unbearable repercussions was the “split in NATO” between the ‘English speakers’ and continental Europe. That split was precipitated by Trump and Boris Johnson, and attempting to lay the responsibility for the world teetering on the brink wholly on “a madman in Russia” is recklessly irresponsible.

            And that should make you feel safer.

            Putin is, without question, an absolutely ruthless pragmatist. He saw an opening. By helping Trump and Boris Johnson come to power he even helped create that opening, but he did not just attack a neighbor out of whimsy. He has objectives. He underestimated (I am pretty sure) the costs. That isn’t unhinged.

    • LOL…the end of the Euro? There is no path where this event even weakens the Euro, much less ends it. Same for the EU and the petrodollar. If you think the Russian economy is strong enough to stand against pretty much the entire world you are stuck in a Putin fantasy and better get out before it turns into a wet dream with you as the star.

      • I just checked…the Euro is down about half a percent and showing typical volatility. The ruble is down 20% after bottoming at 40%. The Russian central bank’s actions that turned it are not sustainable for more than a couple days at best.

        The “end of the Euro” claim is an absurd statement unsupported by any plausible mechanism. I am guessing you just pulled that out of your butt.

        By the way, Switzerland, which has not joined the EU because of their tradition of being a safe neutral haven that joins no alliances, has imposed sanctions on Russia parallel to the EU sanctions. Apparently Europe is more united than ever. “End of the EU” also seems to have been pulled from your butt and you should be sticking these ideas back there.

Scarier in that Trump had access to nuclear weapons and I definitely could see him thinking that way.

        Anyway, on the hopeful side where Putin just demands that Ukraine recognize the independence of their rebel provinces and withdraws, this adds another layer of vital necessity to keeping Trump and his sycophants out of the government. Biden has done a good job of creating a unified international front and the sanctions are going to decimate the Russian economy, but we’ve already seen what happens to sanctions on Putin when Trump gets power.

        A big part of the reason Putin thinks he can get away with this is that he never had to pay for Crimea since Trump defied the world and the congress and single handedly voided those sanctions. It is imperative to not let that happen again.

      • As with all countries, both.

        Currently, Russia needs to be hit with punishing economic consequences for their military adventurism. The last time they committed a similar act of aggression they suffered no significant consequences because Trump stopped enforcing sanctions on them after a mere three years. This in the context of Iraq being held to account by the entire world on paying reparations to Kuwait for over thirty years.

        It is imperative as these sanctions are imposed that Russia and our allies can be assured that the US is not going to whimsically reverse course by electing a Trump acolyte, as Trump has demonstrated that he will dance to any tune Putin plays and his GOP enablers will stand by whistling.
