    My point is, they were educated and organized. The USA, by and large, is not. So we’re not in disagreement, but we’re not voting our way out of this. Look at history, since FDR promised a New Deal to turn the tide against actual socialism.

    I still have a bit of disdain for some Lemmings insisting that the only way forward is by Americans grabbing our guns and storming the Whitehouse.

    I understand the sentiment, whether to prompt a full-blown Nazi crackdown (which we’re already in, tbh), or genuine, righteous fury.

    These kinds of statements are unreasonable and clearly meant to discourage real action.

    I don’t think so, but without properly educating and organizing ourselves en massé, it won’t end well. Remember the French revolution was by the bourgeoisie, for the bourgeoisie; and they were a lot more organized and educated, anyway, and got the unwashed, uneducated masses to mobilize so they needn’t dirty themselves with such distasteful actions as were required.

    That’s what was happening anyway. I’m not looking for perfect, I’m looking for “not a really good liar.” Miriam Adelson has horrible values, and him taking money from her, even just once, speaks volumes. That we only ever get a choice between far right and farther right candidates does, too.

    You’re welcome. And it’s too bad, too, because I like what Talirico says, but what he does doesn’t align. Did he give the money back? I don’t know, but why would he take it?

    While no candidate is perfect, I maintain it is more important to watch what candidates do, and ignore what they say, unless and until it aligns. And so far, Dems ain’t it.





  • The fall of communism, Rothschild,

    ,…Mr Kushner is closely intertwined with his father-in-law’s administration and has been a key shadow mediator in peace talks in the Middle East and Ukraine — but is not a government employee.

    This technicality has allowed him to continue running his highly profitable private equity firm, Affinity Partners, where, with the backing of Saudi sovereign wealth, he pours billions of dollars into Israeli tech and European real estate…

    And drug (and let’s be honest, probably human-) trafficking real estate magnates…

    You can’t make up this kind of story.
