Comment Re: Demented. (Score 1) 68

The demographic that helped put Trump into office was actually Hispanics. Do you think they cared if his opponent was black or not? Or the fact that his opponent came off as a clown that only cared about abortion as the single greatest issue facing the nation?? Or that "new arrivals" were taking the very jobs that they work at?

I'm pretty sure there's a list of reasons where race was not a primary factor. Not to mention that Obama, a black person, was elected president.

When everyone cops out and single mindedly puts their scapegoat excuses front and center, 'demented' people who actually vote will continue to vote for the 'wrong' person.

The dementia reaches across party lines. The GOP is insufferable in some areas, but the question needs to be asked "exactly how did they get elected?" The reason is a person who was really suffering from dementia wrongly decided they could run and win the presidency a second time.

So just keep that in mind when you throw the "demented" word around. Spoken as a political infependent.

Says "the voice of Satan".
Perhaps you forgot your sig?

Europe "we have free speech as long as what you say is approved, obviously"
US fell into that 2021-2024, I get it. You need to snap out of it. I hope you do.

I do find it ... curious ... that suddenly this aggressively pacifist bunch of milquetoasts who scurried like cockroaches when called out on their 2% defense budget "promises" (not just by Trump, but by Obama before him - WHO ALSO warned against EU's excessive RU-snuggling over NatGas as well...) are all marching in war-drum lockstep INSISTING that war is imminent? (And it's hard to tell if they'd rather fight Russia or Trump personally - their TDS is as bad as slashdot).
Germany ROARING that they're remilitarizing and Mertz pounding the podium very Kruschevian...sure. As if everyone will just *forget* that Germany a) did NOTHING since UKR was invaded in 2014. I think they sent some helmets when Trump was (the first) sending actual military weapons to UKR? b) Germany couldn't be dragged away from being all snuggled up to Nordstream 2 until that was ... no longer an option. (Let's watch the $43 BN in payments from EU to RU after the 2022 invasion... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FMapPo...)

The idea that "after Ukraine Russia will certainly attack Europe" might be politically useful but is breathtakingly stupid from anyone not in Latvia, Estonia, Poland, or Lithuania (who all have legitimate reasons to be nervous). To invent that Putin is somehow cracking his knuckles over the opportunity to conquer Europe as soon as possible couldn't be more laughable...unless it happens to now be coming from the EXACT PEOPLE who insisted in their younger days that the Russians would never do such a thing.

HILARIOUS.

Comment Fake News! (Score 2) 23

Fake news! The glaciers are really growing, CNN just plays the video in reverse, everyone knows it, even backward people know it, I checked with Eric. The atmosphere loves USA gas, it tells me all the time, air loves talking to me just after lunch, telling me how competent I am to a hymn of trumpets and tubas. So grand!
