I don’t believe he was arguing that Mahmound is a Nazi. He’s noting that Trump, Elon, the far right etc… defend the hell out of Nazi’s and white supremicists with “I’m not saying I agree with it, but I’ll defend your right to say it, we’re free speach purists”, right up until someone with ideology that strongly opposes their views starts also talking… then it’s shut him up, get rid of him.

That’s literally the thing though, and perhaps where the USSR went wrong. There is no magic bullet that would make a small nation able to survive a large attack, asside from strong allies with a ton of bigger nations, and sadly being different, and a possible threat to the status quo, doesn’t help with that.

That’s like saying being a serial killer helps survival over being a law abiding citizen that cares about others. Proof when I put a law abiding citizen and a serial killer in a locked room… the law abiding citizen doesn’t live as long. Of course the reality is, being a serial killer is evolved as the exception rather than the rule in humans, because, with numbers not making enemies is a more succesful strategy than always making them.

But 2 large economies tried to impliment communism… while engaged in a cold war against much more entrenched ideologies, while having corrupt leaders and they didn’t do it well.

well we’re talking tarrifs, what are the penguins exporting to the US…

and I suppose maybe they aren’t doing a good enough job combating fentonyl crossing over to the US.

So… it’s entirely because we don’t do enough business with russia right now.

God damn, how much are the penguins shipping over here.

What if we just delay another month! that should do even more confidence…

Don’t worry we have a solution. Immigration gold cards… why would people illegally buy their way into the country, when there’s a legal way to buy your way into the country with drug/trafficing money.

There eating the laws of the people who live there

Was going to say, would be more disturbing if the headline were

“trumps meeting with Nyetenyahu is expected to be about Disney’s iive action snow white movie”.

Umm… hasn’t trump basically removed everything at the federal level that isn’t blindly hanging on his word?

If trump just keeps ordering “hold tight, the turnaround is just around the corner”, what can they do to stop the collapse.

and suddenly his pivot to a maga supporter makes sense.

The point being made isn’t that the dem’s are doing enough to talk about the economic mess we are all serving. We all know, they aren’t, they are avoiding the main topics.

The point is the accusation that they are talking too much on say trans issues… which I find bullshit as well. IE the whole concept of harris’s campaign being woke I find ridiculous… I watched her ads, I watched her debate, I don’t recall her bringing up LGBT or Minority topics unless the interviewer/moderator specifically asked.

I’d imagine the shares are rising because investors think less they are hoping musk stops hurting the company by publicly pissing off the world.

I mean, it’s basically shoplifting. Trump admin is taking down all the securities so they can keep it out of the safe and sell them… but in the process, they are also opening them up to being taken without asking. Then it comes down to the same question of say music/software piracy. Is it easier to buy it from the trump admin, or just get it from back channels.

Yeah the propor methods to protest him should be to not vote for him… or vote to recall him… er… oh yeah that’s right, he’s got all this power and yet only is on the side line throwing money at a guy, and people he thinks will vote for a guy. So the only recourse he’s left us is to go after the money he has to throw.

Well that too, but sadly we are at the point where that is normal and goes back several administrations. The signal usage for military communications reaching public knowledge is something unique to this situation (of which i won’t fully discount the possibility that it may indeed have started prior to this administration)

Yeah, it is defective… or at least not up to the task of security for classified information… not to mention not compliant with record keeping laws, that’s the whole fricking point.

The big play they are trying is to put the emphasis of the fail on adding the journalist… that wasn’t the crime, it was a demonstration of why it is a crime, and it is how he got caught. Using signal for war/attack plans was the crime.

er yeah lol was toggling between get rid of the immigrants that pay taxes, or to make immigrants afraid to pay taxes… and somehow got half of each stuck together.

The biggest threat the republicans have… is putting what they stand for out front and center. That’s why their typical strategy is to focus on nothingburgers that have almost no impact like, dealing with the trans athletes. or wholey fictional ideas like schools putting in litterboxes for furries.

So… the goal is to get rid of the illegal immigrants afraid to pay taxes… great plan.
