  1. They're not afraid of Vladimir! They're afraid of Joe! Biden would be humiliated by a joint press conference with Putin. "Being There" was a farcical comedy starring Peter Sellers. Nobody imagined it was prophecy in film.

  4. It will all be handled by Joe's, uh, handlers. They are also clueless, but they're not obviously senile. It amounts to the same thing for foreign leaders dealing with the USA. Trump was a lot easier to get along with, because - like all leaders everywhere - he had the interests of the USA foremost in his mind. It's the Cold-War-Mindset policy wonks who act like weaklings today, and are dropping bombs on you, tomorrow. Ignorant, mercurial, and very much disconnected from reality.

  6. The so-called "left" is just re-branded authoritarian socialism, which is just old-fashioned Divine Right of Kings re-branded. "We know better than you, and so you must do as we say." That's not "left." It stopped being "left" when they started the Free Stuff in the '40s. Social Security recruited a lot of Democrats. But that was nothing compared with Great Society of the '60s. And with each new hand-out, the surveillance state and the authoritarianism got a little bit bigger and more intrusive, and the more eagerly weak people voted for them. Now we are treated like ignorant peasants, and they still think this is "libralism." It's not liberalism. It's a "nice" way to drag us back into the serfdom liberalism emerged centuries ago to combat.

  7. I'm too old to be enraged. I'm numb. Propping up corrupt regimes for strategic/economic/imperial purposes has a LONG history in U.S. foreign and security policy. The Shah of Iran, numerous dictatorships in Africa, tinpot dictators in Central and South America. It's always for short-term gain, and it's always absolutely TOXIC over the long run: bad for the USA and the nations we meddle with.

  8. Honestly, I don't think Trump much cared about Nordstream 2. It just was a total contradiction of all the security arrangements we have with NATO to defend Europe from Russia (actually, the Soviet Union). You don't depend on your enemy for gas and oil. Regardless of all the green-tech propaganda, Europe has an insatiable appetite for fossil fuels, as do all the liberals up and down the Eastern seaboard of the USA who FREAKED when the Colonial Pipeline got hacked. I think it's FINE if the Euros want to buy gas and oil from Russia. I also think we should pull all our troops out of Europe and quit paying billions every year to protect them. We use our support of NATO to coerce NATO countries into supporting our military adventurism everywhere, especially in the Middle East. Our foreign-policy and national-security apparatus are still living a 1947 reality that hasn't existed since the 1980s, and even THEN, they were over-estimating the Soviet military threat by a factor of 10. I was a hawk in the 1980s, and I believed the intel community's estimates. It turns out it was all nonsense, just a narrative to keep weapons manufacturers fat and happy.

  11. In fairness to Joe Biden, his handlers made him the point man for hypocritical and harmful policies. I don't think Obama himself can find and apply the proper lipstick to this pig. Joe got elected because he could just mumble his way past key questions without giving a clear answer. Worked well in 2020, when Demokkkrat open-borders policy was canon, yet utterly indefensible outside the think-tank echo chamber.

  15.  @ccahill2322  That's an odd interpretation of history. Government-run health care is mainly good for the government. Builds loyalty and obedience in the population. But as far as health outcomes go, you're never going to get the best outcomes when the people making the decisions have no stake in either providing care nor in keeping the cost of that care under control. It's not their body, so they don't really care if you are healthy. It's not their money, so they don't really care if it's affordable. You think it's great until you discover that your particular condition is either not covered or there's a waiting line of 6 months or a year to get that service. If you want best service at the best price, you go private. If you wan worst service at highest price, put the government bureaucrats in charge. It also leaves out the most basic consideration which is when the government's paying for it, you are penalized for all the people who make bad choices. That's bad enough, but when things get tight, then the government will be able to punish people for bad health practices, like denying service because you're overweight, drink alcohol or smoke tobacco, etc. All that stuff should be at your own risk and you pay the full cost of the consequences. Government intervention divorces the individual from individual responsibility.

  19. I see little difference between the prayer-in-school conservative types and the med-4-all progressive types. Neither would mind imposing THEIR ideas on everyone else by force, if they only had the political clout to do so. The trouble with the libertarian types is that by our nature, we abhor the use of force!

  20. 3 minutes. You gotta jump to 2 minutes to get past the commercials. He sneaks 'em into the middle of his shows, now, too. I think he's good at what he does, but he's a semi-grifter, who'll show you the tippy-top of a graph a mile high, zoom in on a 2-inch drop, and shout "Stock Prices Imploding!" He really likes the word "implode" in his headlines. Still, a person who's not up on the storylines can get up to speed on some of them from Dr. Steve. He exaggerates everything, but he is correct about the underlying socio-cultural trends that run in the exact opposite direction of the establishment elites. There is a sea change taking place in the collective consciousness, and the Great Reset taking place in the highest places are nothing in comparison. He calls it "nationalist populism," and to an extent that's true, but I think it goes a lot deeper than that. It's back to family first, then neighborhood, then town, and the top-down stuff, dictated by establishment elites, is fighting a desperate rearguard action, which can be seen by the ENDLESS doubling-down on more and more outrageous nonsense that leaves more and more of the population saying "WTF?" Meanwhile, Yankee ingenuity is sweeping the planet. There are so many people in so many places around the world sharing ways of thinking and ways of doing things, that I think the people are changing faster than the legacy institutions who rule them. This has actually always been the case, or the Roman Empire would just be the world government. Or the Mongol Empire. Or the Chinese Empire. Or the British Empire. We just don't notice this, because all the history books talk about are the (increasingly) irrelevant actors at the top.

  22. What Poland's doing will ultimately be bad. The last thing we want is to impose new regulations. What we should do is REMOVE special protections. That's what they're hiding behind. Big Tech and Corporate robber barons will most certainly use/twist the regulations aimed at them as a vehicle to crush any up-and-coming platforms who would compete with them. Just ditch the Communications Decency Act, entirely, including the infamous Section 230 that protects Big Tech platforms from the consequences of their blatantly political actions. Nobody's forcing you to watch ANYthing. You've always had the choice of reading whatever tabloid or conspiracy-theory rags you wanted, since publishing was invented. Let people filter their OWN content, by choosing from a wide array of filtering products. Want to protect your kids? Find parental-controls products. Otherwise, the government needs to step off and BACK OFF. There are plenty of laws on the books regarding defamation, incitement of violence, and libel/slander. Clean up THOSE laws, including the ones that allow you to libel or slander public figures. One law for all. Period. If a regular citizen can block a troll, so can the president or any politician or other public figure. Equal protection under the law. It cuts both ways. Usually, the politicians get special privileges they shouldn't. But under the current system, anyone challenging the establishment - even from within the establishment - can be crushed in the public square. That's BS. Trump is the poster child for this. Instead, we will make laws/regs that are messed-up and too complicated, and re-visit them over and over, adding MORE fine print, to the delight of the lawyers and the dismay of ordinary citizens. Sick of it. Make up a crisis. Then ram through bad law and bad regulations, while you've got everybody's attention and an apparent (rarely real) threat.

  27. Yes, but there's a limit on how many people they can set on how many other people at the same time. As a rule, you see countries like Turkey get ahead of the curve, because of despotic rule. Erdogan can outlaw a company and they're done. That's harder to do in the West, usually. But countries the size of an average state in the United States can all be of one mind much more easily than a nation made up of 50 states that same size.

  34. Lindsey Graham's a stain on the Republican Party. All the old guard are big-spending war mongers. In the current theater, it's the NATO side who are more likely to resort to tactical nukes, because they can't win a conventional war, there. Strong anti-war sentiment is simmering in the general public. The manufacture of consent - and popularity of bloodthirsty politicians like Lindsey Graham - is waning. "There's strong bi-partisan support for this" means the Uni-Party has come up with another way to blow things up and steal more money from the citizenry.

  37. Abolish Communications Decency Act and its Section 230 that protects the censorious Big Tech at the expense of any new competitors. Government stepping in will just make the problem worse, the same as it has done to numerous other industries. You wonder why Big beats Small? Because that's the nature of government regulation. Right when the public thinks the government is sticking it to the big corporations, it is HELPING the big corporation. Complex regulations destroy small outfits that can't afford to comply with all the complicated rules. Small outfits can't hire a "compliance officer" whose only job is to keep the regulators happy. Small companies aren't big enough to hire anyone who doesn't actually PRODUCE something. Liberals and progressives do the bidding of big corporations while spending all their time complaining about big corporations. When CONSERVATIVES start screaming for the government to step in and "fix" Big Tech, then we are lost. If government just backed off and let everyone compete, the bad practices of Big Tech would destroy their bottom line. These PLATFORMS should just be PLATFORMS. Like the phone service has no right to monitor and censor phone conversations. There are already plenty of laws on the books. If YouTube's business model says they should censor content on their platform, then let them. And because they choose to censor, they become publishers. Because they are publishers, they should fall under all the same rules and regulations that apply to publishers. They should not have it both ways. It's bad for the public and it's bad for them, too, in the long run. You want to protect children? Have a KidTube to which access is totally under parents' control. Instead of worrying about filtering OUT bad content, let the parents decide what channels they will ALLOW, with a default door lock on everything else. On AdultTube, anything should go, consistent with the traditional standards of libel, slander, threats of violence and inciting violence. Communications Decency Act and Fairness Doctrine (created when regressive Christians were afraid somebody might use a cuss word on-air) end up meaning the opposite, in actual practice, because NO ONE should have the right to decide these things. If someone is blatantly breaking the law, then there are courts for that, already.

  43. It's all pretty much in your face. Mueller appointed special counsel, with HIS track record of parallel construction and blurring the lines between criminal and terrorist to weaponize the intelligence services against drug dealers or anybody else somebody wants to classify as a threat or a terrorist. "We were justified because these are really bad people." Well, sometimes they are, and sometimes they're just people some high official doesn't like or feels threatened by. I can't believe we have the same party that weaponized federal agencies against partisan foes back in the White House after only one Republican term. The Obama alumni ran out the clock against Trump and are back in force. They have no idea what they're doing, but they're really good at obtaining and abusing power to KEEP power. These are pretty dark times, and I don't know if even a Republican president can put a dent in one-party rule of federal agencies.

  46.  @corylombard  Very measured. Sound strategist. Only objectives he's failing to achieve are ones NATO mistakenly projects on him. It's like Democrats in the USA, lashing out with allegations and prosecutions whenever they've been exposed for committing the crimes of which they accuse others. NATO is the thief who's certain everyone else must also be a thief, because that's how they think. There is no benefit of the doubt with these criminals for anyone else.

  47. I think Russia's still operating in the black, as a government, and in trade. If Putin can simultaneously keep a lid on inflation at home AND experience devalued ruble abroad, there's no stopping him. For the first 150 of the USA, we borrowed in war, and re-paid in peace. The finance-based US economy is about to drown in worthless paper, with its once-enormous, resource-and-manufacturing base in tatters. Its fundamental world view is rooted in fallacy and delusion, a world view based on 50-year-old assumptions that no longer apply. It would be easy to right the ship and change course to a sustainable future, but to the politicians, "sustainability" is a battery-powered pipe dream, whose reality would cause far more bad than good, just like the nanny state, just like the COVID response. They're deluded. Some of them must also be quite mad. Certainly many of them are senile.

  50.  @andreimoutchkine5163  My little sister had a guinea pig for a while. Never understood why that was even a thing. I don't know much of anything about Navalny. I know that Putin's pretty authoritarian, but that's what most countries seem to want: an authority figure who is strong, wise and has the best interests of the country in mind. USA used to be different, but human nature has most people yearning for a 'great leader' who will 'save us,' when what people mostly need is to be left the hell alone.
