And his credentials are what exactly?
Law professor. Teaching others how to swindle and play with words, oh and charge fortunes per minute. He apparently has no idea how the constitution works. Strange.
Well he looks like a ferret.
Let me explain. Populism is the very essence of Democracy. A popular guy is gunna win. So 'our democracy' is legaleze for Democrats in power. How dare youse vote for the other side. We are AAALLL going to die.
However, the electoral college prevents mob rule, so that the weight of cities cannot outvote farmers, for example. So, that makes USA a Republic. This is hard-wried in. Hence the term 'Republicans'.
I agree.
The thing is, the OBVIO second hand pants, are confiscated symbolically and very publicly. Someone either hoped to have a stash of war memorabilia to sell, or a just cheap source of clothing. It doesn't matter. They ridiculed that person. How dare they. What if someone wanted to wear camo pants on the daily? Does that make them an undercover agent, or partizan, or spy? I dunno. These days, for akshual soldiers, it's more about the embroidered badge, I believe, although they also wear camo pants.
The outrage at things Russian, while mumbling about Soviet-era wrongs (while conveniently forgetting the repressions from the neighbors from the other direction, who were very nattily dressed by Hugo Boss).
The hatred has chrystalized upon hatred of Rus, or even Slav. We apparently shouldn't possibly blame Fascism, or Communism, or the privations and costs of war in general.
This part has me boiling. And as I said - the confiscation of someone's property is ideological and comes with burning books, ripping down statues and yelling at Russian-speaking Babushkas in the shop.
I am all for taking contraband as a government policy, but confiscation is also typical of third-rate chihuahua-banana countries. And yes, my family had to stock up on shiny pirate-brand watches bought on street-markets in London, and pack them in little gift-boxes, to dot around one's suitcase, so that they could be confiscated by the corrupt border officials. Just so that the cheese that was also packed in there (because the supermarket shelves were literally empty where we were going) was left alone.
Ah.
I am beginning to understand.
As I thought, Biden is worming out of attending the sham 'Peace Plan' by his fantasy cocaine buddy. The military defeat there, is just too embarrassing for the pre-election reports of failure. So he needs an excuse. There was a minimal, shabby response to the previous storm, but suddenly the new storm became too important to leave for Germany. Yep.
Plus, Denmark is suddenly breaking the story of the presence of US Navy with transponders off, in the vicinity of Nordstream - oh, just before it was blown. Danes are serious about wrong-doing. When it was the Ukrainian 6-men-in-boat-with-a-dog, even, the Danes supported the underdog, poor, invaded country narrative. But now, it is seen as terror instigated by a super-power - and the whistle is being blown.
So, the Dems are riding the storm. Literally. They see a hurricane as a massive opportunity to get eyes on their slimy anti-Trump propaganda, and don't look over there - because people tune into the Weather-channel.
Crisis = Opportunity.
Hey I wonder if it has anything to the counter-spin to this story?
https://youtu.be/OVnx34WCiSA?si=qPEeuoVxi7BZ1kSz&t=866
i.e., credible witness reports US navy, with transponders turned off, (he ordered a rescue mission, even, so visually sighted the ships) in vicinity of Nordstream, days before kaboom. He was 'told' not to say anything.
Indeed, the electoral college is a way to prevent mob-rule, and it balances out cities vs. rural issues (so that cities do not outvote farmers by sheer numbers - for obvious reasons - it is like two wolves voting on what's for lunch, while the other vote goes to a young deer.)
This makes USA a Republic, not a Demmemmocramecy.
More on this story here
US Navy vessels were operating near the Nord Stream pipelines shortly before the explosions that crippled the connectors in the Baltic Sea, Danish newspaper Politiken has reported, citing a local harbormaster. The newspaper added that their transponders – used to locate vessels for safety purposes – had been switched off.
According to the article, American warships had been operating in the area east of the Danish island of Bornholm a few days before the explosions with their transponders off. The circumstances prompted a local harbormaster at the nearby Danish port of Christianso, John Anker Nielsen, to launch a rescue mission.
However upon reaching the scene they saw that the vessels in question were US Navy ships, Nielsen said. The Naval Command then told Nielsen and his colleagues to turn back, the harbormaster recounted.
US President Joe Biden has opted out of a meeting between Western arms donors and Ukrainian officials in Germany, to deal with a powerful hurricane due to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday.
It's TOATS not because 'elenskyyyy's plan is a fantasy.
Befroe there is a loss of trust, there is usually something else, apart from general 'vicious gossip' (AKA ddisinformation, and It's all your fault).
People are talking about FEMA incompetence, because there is video evidence, and some are wondering if the incompetence is intentional (also video evidence - was that downdraft intentional?). The latter situation is going to cause more chatter - like why was the pilot wearing a black mask, inside an unmarked heli?
Fundamental to all of it is poor leadership, neither are the folks stamping around on hte ground guilty in any way, nor should the executive take back-handed kudos for those people doing the real work, because things are obviously not right. In reference to:
we have so many first responders that have been working to go out and help these communities (implying that therefore there must be no criticism)
Election fraud has been a feature in American Politics since forever.
I think digitizing the election with tablets, computers and LOL-oops-honestly no-internet was a wide open door for yet more manipulation. Obvio. Most people did not have the IT skills to smell corruption or hacking, especially in the early days.
What happened in 2020 is that some Public Servants such as Tina Peters started recording before and after the update-thingies - what have we here?.
Someone turned on the cyber-attack tracker, etc., to see attacks coming from all over the world. Notably, Northern China and Serbia (the latter was prolly US glown!66ers, set up in Kosovo or sumthin). But, some people now have enough skills and knowledge to download stuff and expose the fraud.
That's not to mention the more conventional methods of cheating such as ballot-box stufffing, multiple counting, pre-prepared ballots, ballot mules, etc. And there's the dirty mudflinging, meme-wars (which pepes are very good at) and fake news regarding Christian Voting inclination.
Those Covid tests were invented by an American and Developed as a diagnoastic tool by a German. (They cannot diagnose anything, and most countries cycled them beyond usefulness).
Anyway,
