    Except that a variety of complimentary descriptors and points of virtue can also be used to describe Harris. Whereas for Trump it only gets worse.

    Being an installed puppet is more disqualifying? Okay, if that's true there must be a chart you can provide that compares less worse scenarios between puppets and criminals. For example, would an installed DNC Puppet be better than an aggravated assaulter, grand thefter sort of fellow? Or maybe just being a puppy kicking son-of-a-bitch would make the grade? Do tell.

    Why? Well, because as they say at the club, "she's not right".

    I think he was being flatulent.

    Wowser! How smart sounding is that? Actually, the analogy you might better have used is that you pick your team. Or if you are more into the David and Goliath thing you pick your champion. In either case you own the outcome and if what is coming out now is to your liking then the distance between our world views is vast.

    Whatever she might have done that you don't like I'll wager that throwing Ukraine to the Russian Wolves or disregarding the core tenants of our Constitution wouldn't be on the list. She'd have been a placeholder at worst whereas Trump has already destroyed NATO and stacked the Cabinet with incompetent toadies and ninnies, so no 25th Amendment action would be possible, and is now stacking the Joint Chiefs and senior Officer Corps with those he thinks will be malleable sycophants. And that is not a half list of his already committed offenses. You have it wrong in spades.

    Thank you Trump voters.

    As all who pay attention are aware. The point is that Europe's incentives to do a lot more are now readily apparent to even the dullest contemplators. Now Europe needs to not only counter Russia but the US as well.

    jakee, your skills and vast knowledge are wasted on him and only serve to make things less interesting to most here. Please let him go or block him. BillV, you too.

    Incoming German Leader Frederich Merz is openly arguing for a complete break from Russian aligned Donald Trump and NATO. If only the Europeans could very nicely offer to come to the immediate aid of Ukraine with support and security troops, newer longer range missles, and anything else just laying around the holler' and good 'ol Zelenskyy could very nicely offer to jointly develop, with his generous friends, Ukraines vast mineral wealth Putin and Trump would both be in the borscht.

    The debt alarmists won't stop beating the war drum no matter the explanations. Speaking of war drums, if you go back 250 years of American history and make a national debt graph it becomes obvious that the most expensive thing in terms of national debt we've ever done is get rid of the Indians. Probably nothing we can do about it now, I reckon.

    He's the Citadel Hedge Fund, Fisher Investments head who advertises all over to folks with $500K in retirement money to invest in equities. Of course, anything less than $500K will do, too. He's been hugely successful at scarfing up that kind of money. We'll see how those trusting folks enjoy things when that 25% haircut happens and they can't easily exit. But no worries, as you can see from your post examples above he's a real economic genius.

    It's called the evolution of societies. Real change won't happen until small children are asking: Mommy, how come only the people in the big houses get to eat?".
  14. JoeWeber
    The current asking price is an extortion price of $500 Billion USD in mineral wealth for around $150 Billion in military assistance thus far (mostly in the supply of surplus military equipment we no longer pay storage on), 9/10ths of the National soul for selling out to Russia and destroying an alliance that has kept us safe for 75 years, and the miserable knowledge that otherwise credible people voted for Jill Stein instead of either candidate last election. Shipping not included.

    Mr. we could use a man, like Herbert Hoover, again

    That's the wrong direction for sailing, I'm thinking. Cruise Ship?

    The Left Media is hunting hard for Leopard eating faces stories and they aren't that hard to find. We are in the early innings and a lot of MAGA are still laughing and singing.

    John, what a relief to know you are still with us in these troubled times. Especially now when DEI principles are under attack from every direction do you think someone here should extend an olive branch and an invitation to Brent?
  19. JoeWeber
    Jill Stein wouldn’t put up with this shit.
  20. JoeWeber
    David, You are the future and you are right for the task. When you actually have the real ability to change things most of us here will be long gone. Please take that responsibility seriously. Joe

    History is indeed a great subject. While not an identical parallel to Ukraine what transpired with the Sudentenland is worth a review.
  22. JoeWeber
    Conservative, White Male, Democrat from a Mid west state. Anyone pop into mind?
  23. JoeWeber
    Would that be the resilient system that gave him a second term? Hedge your bets.
  24. JoeWeber
    That and more. We need a good, swift, kick in the ass. Trump is impenetrable. The only hope is waking up some of our Congress people and Senators and best of luck with that.

    Singapore owes more per person than us and can afford awesome food courts and clean streets. National debt isn't a bill divided up after dinner. It isn't great but it also isn't such an immediate thing that aggressive and indiscriminate whacking in all directions is the best solution. The idea that innocents must suffer en masse because we'd never get enough money to service the debt by fairly taxing the morbidly rich shouldn't be made unless first the morbidly rich were fairly taxed as a matter of fundamental fairness. That should be step one not putting them in charge of raping the middle class to get even richer.
