CNN has had enough of Biden. Every single article I am seeing about Biden on the front page of CNN is negative. Both Biden's ratings and CNN's rating were already in the tank before they became opposing forces (if you could call it that). Biden isn't much of an opposing force to anybody these days. He has to read from cue cards to carry out the simplest of tasks. Better for him to bow out sooner than later. The longer he's in office, the more chances he'll have to speak freely and deviate from the script (teleprompter or cue card) and expose the scandals & corruption. He's too much of liability to the establishment/puppet masters at this point, so it's highly unlikely he'll be allowed to run for a 2nd term, imo. But it's their fault for choosing Biden, who was obviously showing early signs of dementia even prior to the last election. They should've consulted a neurologist before choosing Biden. Dementia patients gradually lose self-control (over their minds and bodies) as the disease progresses, so it's inevitable that he'll let stuff slip that he isn't supposed to or speak gibberish. |

Hillary would've been a great choice if you wanted the US to fight a direct conflict/war with Russia, as she openly stated she wanted our military to establish a no-fly zone over Syria (where Russian & Syrian air forces were already active). Someone like Tulsi Gabbard would be a better choice, imo. With her military background, she would be far more cautious about throwing American personal in harms way or starting wars. |

Which means this was a big nothing burger.. Obviously, Trump didn't want to reveal his taxes because he didn't want the public seeing his year after year losses and realizing he sucks at being a businessman. |

Everybody knows the IRS would've already been after him if he owed taxes, so it was a publicity stunt from the start.
Yes, there are loopholes that the super rich take advantage of to get around paying taxes. But it's technically legal and they all do it (including Democrats), so they were never going to go after him for that. They tried this on Elon Musk and he was like, "ok, show me what you think I owe and I'll pay it, pay more taxes than any of you," then his wealthy detractors backed the fuck off because they didn't want to be held to the same standards.

Fortunately, we have division of power in our government and we can ignore Trump's demands. www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-courts-just-ruled-against-donald-trump-in-georgia-case/ar-AA14XJjp?rc=1&ocid=winp1taskbar&cvid=be4af265d9ca4be8bcf1238f1d4e62e9Trump might have been hoping for insurrection, but Jan 6th was not an attempt by the people to overthrow govt, despite what the mainstream echo-chamber or Joe Biden may have told you. How do we know this? Not one person (besides the police) brought guns on Jan 6. People were there to protest only. However, people showed up because they were heeding Trump's call, so you could say they have Trump derangement syndrome and/or there's some degree of fanaticism going on. I'd go along with that opinion. But saying it was an attempt to "overthrow Democracy" or insurrection is a huge stretch or an outright lie by the mainstream media. That said, elected Democrats love their power and lie (to get more power) too. One party rule would only lead to more abuses of power. It's not like Democrats are immune to corruption. Look at who pushed for the mandatory lockdowns, vaccine requirements, vaccine ID cards (required to travel or enter buildings), and censorship (of legit vaccine data, the excess deaths, side effects and so on).. not all that dissimilar type of authoritarian shit that actual Nazi fascists required of people back in their day. |

People showed up with zipties and were chanting "Hang Mike Pence" and "Wheres Nancy?", that isn't just a protest. Listen to her, does this sound like "protest only"? If she "isn't allowed to say what will happen" that isn't just a protest. There were reports of panic buttons being removed, you don't do that to "protest only" www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/capitol-riots-ayanna-pressley-panic-buttons-b1786678.htmlAlso Oath Keepers were just found guilty of seditious conspiracy, you don't get that from protesting. www.voanews.com/a/what-is-seditious-conspiracy-/6857549.htmlThis totally looks like "protest only" LOL I could post more but you get my point. If Hilary or Biden or Pelosi did exactly what Trump did Timcast and all those other right wing sources you like would be screaming from the roof tops that the Democrats had tried to destroy American democracy via a violent insurrection and they are straight up commie traitors that should get decades in jail. Fox News hosts would have a stroke live on air. Also I am surprised you didn't say it was Antifa who stormed the capitol pretending to be Trump supporters.

Brawling with fists is one thing (and certainly violent), but still not buying that insurrection is possible or intended when nobody there tried to outgun the authorities.
Trump and his band of idiots followed the precedent set with the 2020 (and prior year) leftist riots, which weren't contained to the Capitol, rather spread across many major cities and the Capitol. Doesn't make it right, but it's true that most of the previous riots were leftists and violent as well (including burning down homes, businesses, and attacking & robbing ppl in the streets).

I tried the same search on Google and it doesn't show up there. I assume Google is censoring them and Bing might not be Due to anti-Russian sanctions earlier this year RT America shut down www.cnn.com/2022/03/03/media/rt-america-layoffs/index.htmlI followed one of their main American reporters on insta and she has since relocated to Moscow. She posts views of Moscow and posts a bunch of anti-Ukrainian stuff. At the start of the war I was watching RT's YouTube channel at work to see how they were showing the war. They had fake scenes of women hugging Russian soldiers thanking them for stopping Ukrainian aggression with terrible acting. It reminded me of that scene in with the fake family in Bridge of Spies it was so fake lol, sorry for the bad quality only copy of that scene I could find: |

Why are you quoting RT? You do realize it is legit Russian propaganda right? They are still calling the war a "special operation" last time I checked. If Russia was at war with Ukraine then Kiev's governmental district would be but a memory, including the building that houses NATO officials. Russia has nukes to use when at war, same as America, which never declared war on Iraq. That was a military operation, which was special to the hearts of the MIC. lol
Zelenskyy and the NATO building remain unscathed so that an end to Russia's destruction of Ukraine's military, and defense related infrastructure, can be negotiated.
The hardliners in Ukraine and the West know what a negotiated settlement on Russia's terms means for them, disgrace, a loss of jobs, careers, and grifting opportunities, endless investigations by their political opponents who'd then have the upper hand*, and for Zelenskyy and his crew, exile, and possibly death to get them out of the picture.
So they are egging Russia on to take more extreme measures, just short of using nukes, so as to further the narrative the West has been pushing, and to weaken or break the accommodations Russia has built up with countries like India, Turkey, Iran, and even China. China figures its long game guarantees them victory, and want nothing to do with a country that would turn over the chessboard it sees itself as winning on.
*If the West's efforts to prop up Ukraine get deemed Afghanistan 2.0 then the Tory government in Britain would get eaten alive by Labor, and the anti-war Conservatives would take over the party. That's just one example.

I agree that Russia could've easily wiped Kiev off the map (at the start) if they wanted to.
There are no good guys in this war. The problem with US involvement, just based off history alone (post-WWII anyway), we're not in it to win it. We're just in it to make some bucks for the defense industry.

There are no good guys in this war. I'd say your average Ukrainian citizen would be a good guy. I've seen people give ridiculous twisted explanations on how Putin is the good guy in the conflict and it makes no sense unless you think that Russia owns Ukraine. The only people who argue for Russia in the war are always far right whackjobs who salivate at the idea of having a fascist dictator running the US the way Putin runs Russia, this is why the fascists at Unite the Right in 2017 were chanting "Russia are out friends". A few months ago I read some thing where a guy was hoping for Russia to win the war, then I looked back at his stuff from 2016 and of course he was saying Trump is "God's anointed savior for America". He posted on Gab which is twitter for Nazis. Its weird to me that these people will post about "Ukrainian Nazis" when the people posting it are Nazi sympathizers if not alt-right neo-Nazis themselves. Why say Nazi's are "bad" when you agree with them on every issue? If you are bored and want to get some Russian perspective RT has a 24/7 stream on Rumble since they were booted off of YouTube: www.rt.com/on-air/rumble/Russia has lost 100,000 soldiers if not more, their economy is facing crushing sanctions, able bodied and educated young men are fleeing the country in droves. What is Putin doing? www.rt.com/russia/567709-putin-signs-lgbtq-propaganda/Russia is already one of the most anti-LGBT countries but they pass more anti-LGBT laws, in the middle of a war. Seems relevant lol. I guess double down on hating gays and hope that raised the morale of the country? If you read the comments you notice they seem familiar: The comments could be from Breitbart, Fox News, or any other right wing source. An interesting thing about RT is inside Russia they promote vaccines, masks, and social distancing. Outside Russia they promote a bunch of anti-vaccine crap, because they are hoping to spread COVID in forign countries while protecting themselves. From the wiki: |

Well, citizens are bystanders, and about as far removed from the decision makers as you can get. If citizens' opinions mattered on issues of war or going to war, we'd get to vote on it.

What is Putin doing? I'm against the war, but I hope Ukraine wins. As corrupt as the puppet govt we installed in Ukraine is, Putin is a ruthless dictator. Even Putin himself sees us as his #1 geo-political foe. Putin probably laughed his ass off when Obama and others on the left mocked Mitt for making that statement. Even at that time, Putin's Russia did prior invasions into Ukraine and Georgia (which i believe occurred during GW's presidency), so Mitt was merely considering recent history when making that statement. I think Babel made a salient point about Russia not conducting its invasion as a full-on war. Putin was no doubt paying attention when Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan, which was yet more proof that the only thing you have to do to beat the US is ride it out long enough ('til we lose political will or weak leadership is elected, and we call it quits). |
