You should stop saying Trump "sold" secrets to foreign governments. You're asking hypothetical questions based off a wildly speculative and fact-less contention somebody else made up. And your argument is ridiculous. Maybe he also sold them to inter-galactic space travelers from Andromeda? That's just as plausible a contention as your making given you have nothing to back it up..

So should I assume your preference is MSM outlets that employ all sorts of recycled officials, defense and intelligence assets, and other apologist for the establishment in order to preach the party line while discrediting and criticizing anyone opposing or questioning power? Which renders them to be official outlets for government propaganda.

Has anyone mentioned those alleged nuclear codes expired long ago? If not that implies the defense department hasn't changed the nuclear launch codes in 16 months? That might be the national security issue.

The sad fact is most of the medical and research community knew these policies or statements were wrong and counterproductive but didn't have the courage or ability to question any of these actions. Many were and are directly and indirectly on the government's payroll. And the few that did speak out and raise questions and alternatives, suffered harassment and unjustified ridicule. It was like the fundamental principles of science and learning had been revoked. My problem with Fauci from the start was that it was clear and obvious from the conversations at the time that he had conflicts of interests that nobody at higher levels cared to consider or do anything about. Which makes them complicit. He was in charge of the pandemic response at NIH yet also worked to hide and deny the role NIH played with the Wuhan lab, gain of function research with COVID, and general denial of any specific knowledge of the virus. And in general pushed bad policy while privately admitting it was bad. I believe many died and suffered as a result. As more and more becomes clearer, I think this will result in a loss of faith in the medical community.

The fact powerful and connected people have approached Fox senior management and tried in vain to shut down Carlson proves that he's hitting a lot of sensitive nerves, that swamp is real, and the people running it are less than happy about anyone shinning a light on their racket. Ultimately, high ratings being the name of the game for the network, make management hesitant to pull the plug. Most interesting are his frequent guests representing liberal populist views which exposes his mostly conservative audience to views they won't hear elsewhere. Generally classical liberal anti-big government and anti-big corporation views which most liberal media outlets won't touch. As contemporary liberalism has been captured by the DC establishment and mega-corporations. Providing different perspectives and a realization which is dangerous to the establishment. That being left and right ordinary citizens share common positions on many issues. That's the thing establishment politicians fear most. People on the left and right concluding they have much in common deciding to unite in a common populist cause against their real enemy. The DC Swamp.

If what you mean by fascists is ordinary and powerless middle class and working class citizens, and small business owners who love their country but understand that their concerns are disregarded by the Washington political establishment and both major political parties which don't represent their interests or views then yes, they don't like Biden.

Lois Lerner ran a political harassment operation at the IRS at the direction of Obama. The target, conservative political action groups. Threats to democracy. investigated and proven with no indictments, no time served, and no surprise. Obama and Holder get very little credit for creating and deploying most of the surveillance state tools and techniques that are employed by the government today to keep tabs on anybody that might make trouble for the establishment either with words or actions. Threats to democracy? Its just code for threats to the power and privilege of the people in charge.

There ya go! Bills Mafia Party 2024 Presidential candidate Irv.

What's comical is your idolizing Cheney for one and only one reason. Because she opposes Trump. But I'm absolutely certain there is absolutely no way you'd reward her support of that by casting a vote for Liz running against any Democratic candidate in a general election. She's been an extremely "useful idiot" protecting the flank of the Washington establishment and sitting on the 1/6 committee. But in January 2023 when her term expires, and she sails off to some defense contractor board or a position in some pro-war think tank, that usefulness will expire along with all the admiration and praise she currently receives.

Its not like government spending is constrained by the amount of tax revenue collected so what's the fuss? As the majority of the annual federal budget is borrowed money that annually adds to a $30 trillion national debt that will never be paid back what difference does a couple billion more or less in tax revenue make? Its a power and terror objective to sick the IRS on disobedient citizens. Just wait to see who gets audited. Tax cheats? No. Troublemakers? Yes.

What the poll doesn't reveal is whether or not the respondents assign the source of the threat to democrats or republicans or the previous administration or the current administration or some other thing.

The NY Times reports that anonymous sources tell them Trump will endorse the popular proposal to bring back the McRib sandwich on a permanent basis. Neo-liberal authoritarian groups are expected to immediately denounce the idea because they're against any idea not conceived of by the government. All ideas generated by free thinking private citizens, especially white heterosexual males, incite violence against marginalized groups.

When you see daily stories of shootings, car jackings, police chases, cars ploughing into pedestrians, robbery, random attacks, looting of stores, shoot outs where innocent victims are killed and wounded along with local prosecutors that refuse to hold or prosecute the perps but charge citizens choosing to defend themselves it sure looks like chaos. NY, LA, Minn, Chi, pick a place. Crime rates up 25, 30 percent and more YoY. People are fleeing, businesses are leaving or closing, working class communities suffer. But the dozens of reports of crime and violence on the local news I personally see on NYC Ch7 every day is all a hoax, right? I ran across this headline after posting. "Baltimore On Pace For Possible Record Murders As Local NAACP Asks Governor To Deploy National Guard."

Tibs is a hard-core ideologist and has no sympathy for the young women I suspect almost everyone, including myself, had never heard of before being killed in a failed assimilation attempt on her father. But you can bet your last penny the outrage meter will be at 10 when the Russians figure out who was behind it and take retribution. That's how ideologues work. They believe their own propaganda, and everything is black and white. Everything is right or wrong and they happen to be right.

It's nothing personal. Just a response to low ratings and new management focused more on revenue and profit rather than a specific political ideology.

Not anymore. After 8 years of war in the East, they're all dead, or wounded, or prisoners of war. But the Ukrainian Nazi movement, its history of WW2 collaboration with Hitler's SS, and current day presence, is an interesting topic. Something people that claim American white supremists lurking behind every bush and tree is the greatest domestic terror threat would like to ignore. If you want to experience real terror, I suggest riding the NYC subway system.

If memory serves me correctly, it was way back in 2016 that Democrats didn't trust elections. And then spent 4 years obstructing and sabotaging the administration. Along with creating all sorts of imaginary collusion stories and relationships. Most of which were investigated with great zest only to yield nothing. Perhaps Liam's memory is just not so good? Maybe the moral here is if you punch somebody in the face don't cry that they punch you back.

All documents related to the Russia collusion story should be declassified and released. Not just one memo. We should know the facts and the truth. Nothing should be hidden. If anyone broke the law here in any respect, they should be prosecuted. No exceptions. But what I conclude is that the government has no interest in transparency or providing the public with all the facts. if DOJ and the Intelligence Community thought any or all of the documents and communications related to the Russia collusion story could implicate Trump, they would have released them already. To the contrary to seeking transparency and disclosure, the FBI conducted a raid authorized by Garland targeting the retrieval of any Russia election collusion story documents because they feared they'd be released to the public. And possibly used by Trump's legal team in his lawsuit against Hillary on charges of manufacturing the story. I expect they'll continue to hide behind the usual national security and method and procedures excuses for withholding the truth from the people they're supposed to serve. Regardless of the outcome, we should all agree, the government should release everything so once and for all we can all know the truth. And in the specific memo above, I say release it.

Sure they're out to get Trump. He's an outsider that seeks to put the needs of America the country above the needs of the establishment and their global empire which has a different set of objectives than a nation state republic. Unfortunately, you're attempting to discuss and debate the virtues of democracy and the actions of the establishment with a lot of posters that believe a grand conspiracy exists to install Orange Hitler as supreme ruler of the United States. Assisted by hordes of zealots and cult members intent on raising their "leader" to dictator while obeying and carrying out every command he secretly issues to incite violence and oppress and harass anyone that dares to resist this crusade and its objective. To stop at nothing to destroy democracy. But its all an illusion. Created by people in power that wish to remain in power that can only remain in power though the use of deception and propaganda. People that are scared to death of the coming mid-terms.

At least she walked about with a higher net worth. All the chumps here licking the boots of every government official and authoritarian directive should be happy. An extra $37 Million in 6 years of patriotic service in support of "democracy". Sweet hustle and con, right? That tells me we're all in the wrong line of work.

You should read "The Long Emergency". Its about the coming end of the oil age and the resulting social, political, and economic implications. Not to spoil the story but the author reached similar conclusion as you. Until civilization develops and identifies a more efficient and productive source of energy, nuclear power is the best option to bridge the gap in time until that happens. But since Chernobyl in 1986 and Fukushima in 2011 nuclear power plants have been under scrutiny. Many of the reasons well justified. And spent fuel rod processing and disposal is always a problem. But as a society we've let 30+ years pass without addressing this potential solution. And counter to this approach, countries like Germany have taken steps to decommission their nuclear power plants and putting their fate in the hands of renewables like solar and wind. Designing, permitting, constructing, and commissioning nuclear power plants is a decade, plus, long effort. Likely longer given current regulatory and social obstacles. Another issue is the US has little to no current Uranium production. If we started now this solution might be able to be deployed around 2040 or 45. I don't see this happening. It would require a massive investment and a quantum shift in policy away from renewables and deploying most of that committed capital and effort to nuclear. It would be a politically unpopular proposal given the current administration. Unfortunately, none of this is likely until 2024 at the earliest, and people generally need to experience an emergency or a disaster before they get moving on something. So expect that first.

I think you're on to something here. Maybe not the way you think or I approached it before. This might be the core reason for Trump Derangement Syndrome? The left doesn't hate Trump because of his policies, positions, or what he says or doesn't say. They hate him because he beats them at their own game. He out-victims the victims. He never says those two words they demand to hear from any sinner. Which is "I'm sorry"or "I apologize". The fact they can't play their Jedi mind trick victim game against him because he's better at it than they are just enrages the cult. It throws their already irrational mind to higher levels of irrationality and anger. I mean, look at the victim chart. For the left its absolutely impossible for a white heterosexual male to be a victim, ever. It drives them bonkers that he gets away with it. It's that simple!

Because woke ideology has transformed the practice of playing the victim into an art form. And there is no entry on the victim hierarchy chart under the victim column for "right wing". If these people get threatened and harassed or attacked violently, well as an official oppressor they deserve it. That's how it works. Anyone raises any criticism against a leftist and they happen to fall into the oppressor column then they're a terrorist. And a bigot. And threatening violence. Against a perpetual victim, no matter what they do or don't do. Those are the rules.

Just as Catholics can absolve themselves of sins through the practice of confession conservatives can absolve themselves from transgressions as defined by the neo-liberal cult ideology by condemning and rejecting Trump. But like confession, the forgiveness is temporary as both processes require repeated episodes of absolution.
