  1. China owns our debt. Someone has an idea how this will work out?

  2. Thanks for reminding me to reread the ancient tragedies. :/

  3. Systematic genocide based on a spurious racial theory has nothing to do with political "demonization" of equally powerful parties and coalitions that regularly trade political power. Gina asked rhetorically "what's the difference . . . ?" That is. If they wanted her to tweet better, they should have provided her with cheat sheets. Somehow she didn't get the memo that Twitter is for advertising, not airing dumb political views. She's not a historian and wasn't hired to be one.

  4.  @graywalkerjoin3rdparty74  I'm not missing any point. Do you know someone's politics unless they tell you? How is that comparable to the history of anti-Semitism? Look, plenty of leftists (communists, socialists, various Marxists) were targetted and killed by the Nazis. No one, least of all them, claims it was comparable to genocide. LOOK UP THE WORD.

  5.  @zacboyles1396  No. Gina did. She drew the comparison between the Nazi genocide and contemporary political animosity and demonization. And I did not say it was a fire-able offense, or an "offense" at all. I said it was historically inaccurate, and wildly so. Unacceptable, in my view. But if she is entitled to her own facts, then I defer to her. Once we go down THAT road, it is hopeless anyway. I'm not being paid for the history lesson. I'm done. One person finally believed me after Ben Shapiro gave a reasonable analysis of the whole matter. Tootles.

  6. This is only an excerpt, so we don't know what else he said. In any case, he would not comment without examining the documents himself. Glenn Greenwald had the best program on that issue last night. He has his own livestream on a different platform, also free to watch. He was a First Amendment lawyer, so he knows this stuff in his sleep.

  7. Which is EXACTLY why you can predict a Biden win.

  8. LOL, where we are.

  9.  @cockyrooster361  They shouldn't have anything we don't. They're supposed to be there for us.

  10. Yes, there are Israelis who support a real peace and justice movement, and consider Israel as devolving into apartheid, if it isn't there already. Israel has more people in that movement than the US does, and they are more genuine, trustworthy, and ready to take real risks for justice, and are not on the take, from anybody. Or did you miss that part? In fact, one was a prime minister who was assassinated. Huh. And Katie barely scratched the surface. These comments, from Americans, are meaningless. Let those people -- those Israelis -- be heard. They live there.

  11. Question: An uninsured person gets a severe reaction from the COVID vaccine and goes to the emergency room. Now what happens?

  12. Excellent, LOL.

  13.  @baredinkum  I said no such thing. I said his information was important, and needed to be conveyed in a clear manner, and that he talks as if he is minimizing the importance of his own research and investigative work -- as if everyone already knows all this stuff. I said I have no problem with commentary, AFTER clearly laying out the facts. Where did I call him names?
    2
  14.  @baredinkum  Oh, I see. You addressed a comment to me that was supposed to be addressed to someone else. Amazing how precision in communication can be useful.

  15.  @tedmaloof234  Excuse me. Middle school.

  16.  @elizabethsmusicandarts1590  So sorry to hear. Hope you are taking great care of yourself now.

  17. Hm. Now that's a tough one.

  18. Other segment

  19. He's 55. He had horrible problems with medical bills in his life, up until relatively recently. He's the youngest of 12 kids, from Chicago. South Side. What do you think houses cost in LA? It sounds like he made a good deal. He has also lived in a modest bungalow up until now.

  20.  @BrianelSuperMacho  I did, and someone had it removed. Why should I bother to speak to you? You, in your great wisdom and tolerance for all viewpoints, pronounced me in need of medical care.
    2
  21.  @BrianelSuperMacho  I already said enough in any event. Go back and read slowly. Anti-Semitism was a form of racism. It has zero to do with, for example, the way YOU "dehumanized" me when you suggested medical treatment, and said that nothing I wrote was worth responding to. Strike a blow against dehumanization, why don't you? What a laugh.

  23.  @ewaldbracko1534  It's "the left" that shot up a synagogue? "The left" targetted a black church, and killed all the people who said to the gunman, "sit down with us and let's pray together?" Who is saying "good riddance" every time someone like George Zimmerman or Kyle Rittenhouse picks up a gun and shoots it? (For that matter, who started the rumor that the Sandy Hook school massacre was faked?) Neolibs are playing a lame and mindless game with advertising memes, and they need to be stopped from trying to ruin careers over such nonsense, I'll agree with you there. Zero comparison with the Nazis.
    2
  24.  @ewaldbracko1534  Because political violence is not comparable to racially-motivated genocide.

  25.  @ewaldbracko1534  I don't "lean into" anything. (Where did you get that slogan? LOL) I don't care about American "ideological camps," and literally none of them reflect my beliefs. My family is not in America, and I need to join them as soon as I am financially able. You've invented a story in your head.

  26.  @ewaldbracko1534  Oh, and if you are against "demonization," you have a funny way of showing it. WHO in this thread was subjected to ad hominem -- bizarre ad hominem at that? I was. So brave of you to criticize it. /s And WHO was it who labelled "the left" as being to blame for the polarization? You did. Now, it's suddenly both sides -- but my fault more than yours(!) The truly sad thing is that people will agree with you, because your way of demonizing one side for the supposed sin of demonizing the other will appeal to people's emotions. They won't see that you're doing precisely what you claim to stand against. All effective agitprop has this feature. It's quite perfect. DNC uses it all the time, as does RNC.

  27.  @ewaldbracko1534  Systematic genocide based on a spurious racial theory has nothing to do with political "demonization" of equally powerful parties and coalitions that regularly trade political power. Gina asked rhetorically "what's the difference . . . ?" That is the difference. It is not as if the Nazis could have picked just any scapegoat. They picked the one they did for a reason. They don't teach that any more in German schools?

  28.  @BrianelSuperMacho  I wouldn't have fired her for this, either. How funny. All the firing did was amplify her historically inaccurate tweet. She wasn't hired to be a historian. If major media organizations want people to tweet better, let them know. Twitter is an ad platform. Maybe she didn't know. Give them the memo, and a cheat sheet. She might have actually meant well this time.

  29.  @ewaldbracko1534  Look up "genocide." In the dictionary, and at the UN website. It expressly excludes political affiliation as a basis for genocide. I think you're just trolling. This has devolved into sheer idiocy, like most things do these days.

  30.  @ewaldbracko1534  It can also be ethnic or religious. Read something. Read the UN's definition.

  32. Trivializes, and instrumentalizes.

  33. Look up Dick Cheney's series of DRAFT DEFERMENTS during the Viet Nam War. He nevertheless became Secretary of Defense. Fakery did not start with Trump.

  34.  @stephensuddick1896  You blame them because you reflexively punch down. Cheap thrills.

  35. Oh yes it is. These are not normal times, dear.

  37.  @brentshowers741  I read the link. It does not say anything about Tulsi. I read it three times.

  38. Because her job is to be a good image tender on social media. It's an advertising platform.

  39. Trump has said he would crack down even harder on the university demonstrators. Shame on the whole lot of you.

  40. He's anticipating a Kamala Harris administration in 2024? Well then, he takes for granted that the system is fixed. And takes for granted that we're fine with it.

  41. So now we know Florida does not want its students to know that there are brilliant black writers. I am shocked, shocked. Seriously, the list of authors removed from the curriculum are the best.

  43. And Derek Chauvin made BOND.

  44.  @gustavofinklstein9730  Right. So he gave her a written apology. AND just demonstrated that TYT was imitating Howard Stern in their broadcasting and office banter at the time. This all came out because Ana defamed Aaron Mate. Aaron could bring suit. Did you realize that? Vaush won't inform you.

  45.  @gustavofinklstein9730  So if a guy asks someone where she got her jeans because he'd like to buy a pair as a gift for his wife, he is implying his wife needs to dress better? That's a good one. It means he's a guy. He doesn't know about shopping.

  46.  @skynate3882  You need to explain what that will accomplish.

  50. How did you say you were SURE this is directed at you? "WTF your name is??" The MF bombs were hysterical. Maybe this was directed to "M*th*r F*ck*r?" Whoever that is. I mean, you're not married for one thing.
