  1. The best economy ever is a farce that needs to spend a trillion in borrowed every quarter of life support money to keep the system running.

    Its like my big-shot brother-in-law that always has the latest and greatest of everything and new cars in the driveway every year without a cent in the bank or any investmemts.  The king of the  consumption lifestyle without a pot to piss in. 

    Like the robust US economy.  A big illusion

    These two stories were published on the same day a few weeks ago.

    The Moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 1 inch per year.  That change in gravitational pull will result in the Earth's rotation slowing and change the magnitude of tidal movements. 

    In 1 million years it will be almost 15.8 miles further away.  Should we be worried?

    The guy was a credible informant for years but the second he has the good on Biden he's suddenly providing false information.  More likely he was arrested for providing true information and he had to be taken off the board before he was requested to appear at any hearings or inquires.

     

    Conveniently, his trial date is set after the November election.  Prediction: whoever wins the election, they reach some sort of plea bargain agreement where he agrees to keep quiet in exchange for probation in consideration of his prior "service".

     

    That how Garland's DOJ works.

    Outside of that I wouldn’t really argue with anything you posted. With all that being said I still don’t see trump winning because people hate him. Yes he’s got his base (I’ll be nice and won’t call it a cult) and he’s got people that will vote along party lines. But it’s that enough to win?

     

     I see at least 3 different groups on Twitter that are republicans against trump in there title in some form or another. I have not seen a  “Democrat against Biden group “ and y Twitter feed is open for both sides. I see stuff that supports trump no doubt but how big are these Republicans against trump movements getting? 
     

    and I said it before on here and I’ll say it again if you missed it. I’m not telling people to vote for Biden and not for trump. I know I won’t change anyone mind and I am not trying to. I get that people will vote party line and I don’t blame them. 

    I think the Trump vs. Biden choice comes down to the cleaest Pig in the mud hole theory.  Neither have high approval numbers.  Many people, including myself, find neither choice appealing when it comes to addressing the nation's troubles.

     

    Both have high disapproval ratings.  The choice might come down to tolerating one and disliking the other.

    As I noted yesterday, Elizabeth Prelogar totally misrepresented (lied?) how DOJ routinely handles sentencing requests for those convicted of 1512c2.

     

    Under questioning from Kavanaugh about prison sentences, Prelogar tried to make it sound like 1512c2 defendants with other nonviolent offenses (common misdemeanors) only get about 24 months in jail.

    She quickly mentioned the "Brock" case--referring to Larry Brock, a man from Texas convicted at bench trial of 1512c2 and 5 misdemeanors--and the "enhancement" recently overturned by DC appellate court in 1512c2 convictions.

     

    So what did DOJ ask for in Brock case? Not 24-26 months as Prelogar attempted to mislead Kavanaugh into believing.

     

    NO--DOJ asked for 60 months in prison.

     

    This is far more representative of what DOJ has requested in similar cases. And yes it included the now unlawful enhancement but that was the enhancement DOJ ASKED FOR.

     

     

    I expect SCOTUS will rule the statute as used by DOJ in charging J6 defendants is inapplicable.  Also, the mere presence of J6 protesters is not de facto evidence that they acted with intent, in attempting or succeeding in "obstructing an official proceeding”.

    I've been called for jury duty twice and selected and participated on a trial once.  I very much enjoyed it.  Unfortunately, after being a juror I hope I am never put on trial.  3/4 of my fellow jurors - if brains were dynamite, they couldn't blow out a match.  Scary.  

     

     

    In the case of this Trump trial I expect the Judge and Prosecutor are looking for people with a bias against the defendant that are just smart enough to follow their argument but not smart enough to perform any logical or critical thinking.

    Government is using an obscure financial crimes statute about

    delaying Congressional proceeding to destroy the lives of J6 protesters.

     

    Gorsuch just asked whether pulling a fire alarm before a Congressional vote

    could qualify (e..g, what Democrat Jamaal Bowman did recently)

    and government atty says no. LOL

     

     

     

    The US attorney is wrong.  Because the correct answer to the questions isn't "No".  Because everyone knows the correct answer is .. "It depends on who pulls the alarm".

    Quick Angry Kay Side Rant: What’s so amusing to me are all the MAGA types criticizing Biden for his dovish stance on Iran. Whatever happened to being anti-war, anti-establishment, and anti-MIC?? These alleged right-wing “populists,” blinded by their political tribalism and latent Islamophobia, are essentially American supremacists and closet neocon imperialists…intellectual children whose minds exist in a dichotomous world of good guys vs. bad guys, like some bad Hollywood action movie. Some of these MAGA-ts also have significant financial investments in military contractor companies, yet no children of their own who would be sent to fight and die in another stupid Middle East war. Ugh! Angry Kay is angry!

    A phobia is typically an irrational fear of something.  Islamophobia, by definition is an irrational fear of Islam.  But is it irrational?  Because these religious zealots do really want to kill Christians and Jews.  And any other non-believers.  Of course there are Christian and Jewish zealots that want to kill Muslims too.   

     

    I think there's a major distinction between so-called MAGA and Neocons/Neoliberals.  Because there are two Americas.  America the country, and America the Empire.  For the purpose of simplicity, MAGA is about what's best for the country and Neocons/Neoliberals are about what's best for the Empire.  Most of what Washington claims its all about is support of the country but that's just a ruse.  What they really do is about maintaining the Empire.  What other country has 600 military bases (and 100's of other CIA, intel units) spread around the world?  That's consistent with the attributes and actions of Empire.  All for the good of the people you occupy, right?  I consider the European continent of "independent democracies" to be vassal States under the control of Washington.  They have no major policies or programs outside the sphere of Washington's control.  NATO for example is primarily a mechanism of control for Washington and not a defense alliance.  That's the world of the Neocon.  I could go on..

     

    The problem for the Empire in the 2020's is its out of money and the international system of finance that allowed it to borrow and spend infinite amounts of money to maintain its control is breaking down and in the process of being replaced by a multi-polar system of global finances which is challenging the supremacy of the US dollar.  The fight everywhere is about resisting this transition.

    By now its obvious to all that the protected groups want respect and tolerance for their "values" but when it comes to reciprocating they can't seem to live up to those principals.

  10. By some accounts Isreal is planning a response which is said may occur at any time.

    Biden has told them to "take the win".  I think that's good advice for now but given the circumstances and the players I expect they'll ignore it and the situation will escalate further.

    Russian State TV. LOL. 

    The inconsistency is the usual suspects posting here proclaim Russian State media is complete and total pro-Putin propaganda when it comes to issues like the war in Ukraine but suddenly when "confirmation bias" rears its head on topics such as Trump, suddenly Russian media is the beacon of truth.

    Get it done 

     

     

    The whole thing was scripted theater and drama between the involved parties.  Iran telegraphed the nature of the attack and gave their enemies a week to prepare.  Everybody got what they needed out of it.  The Iranians got to save face by retaliating, the Israelis suffered little to no damage, and the US got to demonstrate the competency of their weapons and strategies while giving Biden a much needed win in the eyes of the voters.

    how many wars before you're like...maybe biden has no idea what he's doing?

    What's comical is these idiots embedded in the government and the Biden administration are running the system and they're complaining about how THEIR policies and agenda has led to all kinds of negative consequences.  All while insisting on blaming somebody else.  Its quite a racket.

    Meanwhile, lots of us amateur political and social observers see how obviously toxic their agenda is to our country.  They have no shame, they have no honor.  They can't be dispatched back to Hell quick enough.

  14. What worries me here is the potential of  terrorist cells to infultrate our southern border the past 3 1/2 year while the Biden  administration was working overtime to flood our country with illegals. It's just speculation at this point but suppose we get directly involved and those sleeper cells get activated in cities all over the country?

    How does a racist like this have his own tv show and why are the native Swedes so afraid of brown people? Sad. 

    You can't import millions of people that have incompatible social and cultural values and beliefs and then expect its all going to work out for the best.  Especially when the newcomers have no desire to assimilate into the larger society.   I think it's what experts might call the Balkanization of a society.  Broken up into cliques and clans with their own sub-cultures that clash and conflict.  A real shitstorm.

    One of the first album purchases I ever made, sadly not long after the plane crash.   @muppy saw them at Rich Stadium, as did a good friend of mine.  I was a late to the table so I missed it. 
     

    Good for you for doing what you can.  If I think long and hard enough on meat consumption, there are days when I think I could go vegetarian…then I eat some good wings.  Or a BLT.  Or whatever.  
     

    So, on your issue with electric vehicles, assume you’re correct and the policy issue is indeed a scam.  Extrapolate a bit—-and I see @All_Pro_Bills has done a much better job than I can highlighting his thoughts above—-and consider other policy initiatives and you begin to understand that how you get to be declared a climate heretic when you question the narrative. 
     

    Welcome to the club. 
     

     

     

    I saw the original line up of Skynyrd a couple times in my youth in Buffalo at the old Century Theater downtown and a year or two later at the Aud.  It was maybe 10 years ago I saw the revised line up of the band at MSG where they opened for Kid Rock. 

    My favorite album was Second Helping followed by Street Survivors, and then the first album.  Street Survivors was released just prior to the plane crash.  The original cover depicted the band members surrounded by flames.  After the accident, the MCA Records rushed to remove copies with the original cover from stores and replaced it with one without the flames surrounding the band.  If you have an original copy with the original cover it would be somewhat rare.

    I had a long post I deleted. Not worth it. I don’t blame you for questioning stuff. If you Don’t to believe in global warming based on party lines I can’t change your mind. (Of course I’m assuming you’re Republican? I could be wrong.)

    For me, the bigger issue of the climate change debate is the popular solution to the problem.  The idea of replacing oil and gas, hydrocarbon energy sources with clean and renewable energy sources such as wind and solar electricity generation.  I think that solutions is completely incapable of supporting human civilization at its current size and scale. 

    The idea were going to replace all the cheap and efficient energy produced by hydrocarbons with wind and solar is a fantasy.  I'd love to see a proof of concept community of about 100,000 people living a life completely devoid of oil and gas and exclusively run on renewables.  My expectation is such a demonstration would be a complete flop and a wake up call to get serious.  Along with exposing the idea as folly to most people.    

    I think the actual agenda of the elites running climate policy is they've determined there are just too many people on the planet and "they" need to get rid of maybe 50 to 75 percent of them and it don't matter to them if they get rid of Democrats, Republicans, or Independents.

    Shocking because they never lie...

    What the idiots don't get is so simple.  You can't keep handing out trillions of dollars in free money for consumption without making the necessary investments to increase supply, productivity, and the creation of goods and services.  Because people will use that free money to buy stuff without a counter-balancing increase in the supply of stuff which bids up the price of the stuff available because the demand is higher than the supply.   

     

    If you want to stop inflation you need to do the one thing the administration and the Fed won't do.  Stop printing and creating more money.
