I know. I just can't take the joker seriously. He has a binary view of the world - "You don't like Dems? Ok then your a Rep!

I believe in the principles of anarcho-syndichalism, as much as they can be applied to the current and future world in which we live. But unfortunately in the digital and mechanised world, I think the role it can play is and will be further diminished. For this reason, I follow transnationalism these days (sometimes referred to as internationalism). It is very different from globalisation. Which simply allows the continued of exploitation of the poor by the rich. It is a global prison. I believe in economic and social justice for all, a world of open borders, where everyone has equal rights and opportunities to live and work where they want.

Its most prominent spokesperson ATM is Yanis Varoufakis, the ex-Greek minister of finance that refused to kotow to the EU and send Greece in to a financial tailspin that hurt its people. NOw he runs a Europe wide politcial party called Diem-25. He explains it very well here:

So yeah, I guess I am a Trump supporter.

That is much more refreshing than any pol talking. Thing is all these people out of power always make more sense than the ones in power.

I am not sure what he means with LBJ. With FDR, you had Glass Steagall and the best security laws I have ever seen written. They were the back bone of our stock market and written by Joe Kennedy father of JFK after he swindled everyone in the market. It is funny with Eih, the guy is such a bonehead, with he and his Democrat laws being so great. Yeah, FDR signed Glass Stegall into law, and it was IMO a great law. Thing is he leaves out the part that Bill Clinton repealed it! This was done at the behest of Treasury Secretary Bob Rubin who wanted Citibank and Traveler's insurance to merge for his own personal gain. Nine years later, in 2008, we saw the effect of repealing GS with the 2008 Great Recession.

But it was not all Dems though Matt Taibbi who studied the economic bubbles put more blame at their feet than Republicans. No, later on, it was unelected bureaucrats. The Supreme Court had a ruling that pretty much destroyed any responsibility a board of directors has to its shareholders. And with Covid, we saw Congress completely cede legal authority to the executive branch. Practically all Congress does these days is throw money at people.

The real issue now IMO is not even partisan. It is not Democrats or Republicans but unelected bureaucrats who answer to no one who are the biggest problem. The red-blue debate gets in the way of Americans seeing the truth.

Every grocery store worker where I live wears gloves while working.

LOL. So now all the mules are grocery store workers? LOL.

But that really isn't the point, is it? Did the other 2000+ people also wear gloves? To hide their fingerprints? Certainly some of them screwed up, right? After all, they were all lowlife criminals and "everybody knows" that criminals are stupid, right? If that were the case, it would have been a relatively simple matter to fingerprint each ballot from any given drop box and interview those folks. After all, if you have the GPS data, you have the phone number. You can get the address of the user from the cellular carrier. You can do facial recognition of the person on the video.

I am not sure what the point of this is. If you only have the finger prints of the mule on a ballot and not the voter, that is the problem. You seem to be trying to say that the mules are unknown. No, the people at True the Vote know exactly who they are.

But where is the video evidence? Since all drop boxes are monitored on video there should be thousands upon thousands of hours of video showing thousands of mules doing the same thing. But there isn't. The maker of the "2000 Mules" film was asked multiple times, from multiple people, to provide all of the video he claimed he has. He never provided it. He did provide two video clips of two people. Both were interviewed and both were dropping off ballots for family members and that was verified. But hey, if the filmmaker said he had lots of video, that's good enough for you, right?

There were more than two clips. What was said was that many ballot sites which were required to have a camera on them by law did not have a camera. In Georgia, 80% of the video coverage was deleted. It is the same thing in Michigan with voter data. It too was deleted. Michigan blew this topic off. Who did it? Why does the NSA keep data forever but voter data was deleted? Oh, that is routine we were told. It is always done like that. That is a crock of shit.

Any other election have a 1-6? Why the hell would anyone delete the data or video coverage after a 1-6?

But, in reality, the lack of video evidence means diddly to you.

To the contrary, it means everything to me, but I know there never will be a hearing where those responsible for not setting up video cameras and those responsible for deleting video footage of the ballot boxes and voter data are found out, investigated, and deposed. That will never happen.

Gabriel Sterling said it best when he related his lawyer story to the January 6th Committee. Since you undoubtedly didn't watch the hearings, I will paraphrase his testimony for you. What he said was that a lawyer he knew was convinced the election was stolen in Georgia. Sterling went through each rightwingnut talking point and debunked it and, after each point was debunked, the lawyer said "OK, I get that. " But in the end, the lawyer said "But in my heart, I know the election was stolen".

I must have missed the part where you Democrats apologized for Russiagate. The fact that Hilary approved a scheme to beat Trump with the help of the FBI who knew early on that Russiagate was bullshit was not met with disdain with Democratic supporters like yourself. No, you assholes bragged about it. You bragged about how you tried to fix the 2016 election and after that failed how you tried to get the results of that election thrown out. Then there was Hunter Biden's laptop censorship and the complete bullshit that said laptop was Russian disinformation. Far from hanging your heads in shame over that, you gloated about it.

You fools do not get that 1-6 was not about Trump but about you. You are KNOWN cheaters who celebrate your cheating, and there is a ton of circumstantial evidence that you did cheat.

Would any reasonable person dating a known cheater accept the story of a BF or GF who went to the house of 10 exes between 1 and 4 AM who says, "I did not talk or have sex with any of those exes, and you do not have any video proving I did"?

And that is what you are expecting from us. The lack of definitive evidence does not prove your innocence. Far from it. All it means to me and people like me is this time you cheated and got away with it.

[DramaFree11]

Biden is a Joke, but No One is Laughing because everybody knows that this is a very, very serious issue, and it's an unforced error on the part of the Biden administration. We, the people didn't do anything to cause this. We are innocent bystanders. We had it inflicted upon us by Joe Biden. Not Congress. Not Trump. Not Putin. Not the greedy oil companies. It was Biden himself. An unforced error. All Biden had to do when he took office was keep the Trump economy in place. That's all he had to do, but he didn't. He attacked the fossil fuel industry, and that began the whole economic downward movement.

Proof: When Trump left office, the week of January 18,2021 we had been in COVID bit gas prices had remained fairly stable at $2. 37 a gallon. But the week of February 17th, 2022,13 months later, a week before Putin invaded Ukraine, Gas on average was $3. 52. That is up $1. 15 from when Trump left office. Okay. Now gas is $5. So it is up $2. 50 a gallon from when Trump left. Now, even if you buy that Putin did it, about half of that has come for no other reason except Biden's attack on the fossil fuel industry. Those are the facts. Okay? There is no other rational explanation..

Best post ever, but I really do not think Bidden is calling the shots. It is the crazy ass people he has surrounded himself with. Trump was an Ass, no denying it, but for the most part he did a good job, he does need to go away. The difference between Trump and Bidden, is Trump had great people around him, that at least tried and had some common sense.

I think one of Trumps biggest mistake was keeping Fauci, he should have fired him immediately. He deserves a lot of blame as well. If he had his ways we would still be locked down. Trump was able to keep sone of the economy up and running, if this would not have happened we would be in even worse shape.

Biden's ineptitude is unbelievable. So it's goodbye Joe. You are finished. There's no way Biden makes a comeback. Remember, he's 80 years old in November and he's going downhill fast. He was never really up high on the hill anyway. It is not like we're talking about a Mensa guy here. I don't want to be disrespectful, but it's his fault. Only crazy leftists believe otherwise and like I pointed out in my last post, the Marxist Left position would be 180 degrees opposite than their current position if this economic catastrophe were happening under Trump.

I think the thing that is funny is JustTK may be the biggest leftist on here.

[PVMonger]

Information is evidence, UFM rightwingnutjob.

Where is the source that says that "Hierarchy of Information" and "Hierarchy of Evidence" are one and the same and can be used interchangeably.

I'll wait.

[PVMonger]

Information is evidence, UFM rightwingnutjob.

Just keep on digging. Sooner of later you'll get tired. Or reach China.

[PVMonger]

LOL. And there we have it. Obviously, you have never used it. Which address? Work? Home? Hotel? Restaurant?

Go anywhere and use the Uber app. It will pinpoint where you are. Do the same with google maps. They pinpoint where I am to a few feet. So you make up another lie: Uber has your address.

Why was someone wearing gloves when they inserted ballots and threw them out after inserting said ballots? You said it was Covid.

Why were hundreds of people taking pictures on their phones at a ballot box? We heard it was so that they could say they voted. Except they did not photograph themselves but just the ballot box.

I am not sure what universe you are in, but there is plenty of video of all this, but let's make sure we spend $40 million on the Russiagate fraud and pee tapes and nothing on this.

Why was someone wearing gloves when they inserted ballots? Every grocery store worker where I live wears gloves while working.

But that really isn't the point, is it? Did the other 2000+ people also wear gloves? To hide their fingerprints? Certainly some of them screwed up, right?

So that is really where this sits for you and the rest of the trumpers. No evidence is perfectly OK with you because you know in your heart that the election was stolen.

Only crazy leftists believe otherwise and like I pointed out in my last post, the Marxist Left position would be 180 degrees opposite than their current position if this economic catastrophe were happening under Trump.

But don't take my word for it. Yesterday, the Fed Chairman contradicted Biden and said what I just said, specifically Russia's Ukraine invasion was not the main inflation driver. During a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Sen. Bill Hagerty, are-Tenn, got Powell to admit that inflation was high well before Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. Hagerty noted that in December 2021, inflation has risen to 7% up from 1. 4% in January 2021, when President Biden took office. Since Russian tanks rolled across the border of Ukraine, inflation has risen incrementally to its current level of 8. 6%. With these statistics stated, Hagerty asked Powell if he believed the war in Ukraine was the "primary driver" of inflation as the Biden administration has tried to portray.

Powell's response was, "No inflation was high. Certainly before the war in Ukraine broke out. ".

Thus the stupidity of Biden and his idiotic minions was that they attacked the fossil fuel industry without first having established a viable alternative energy source ready to take up the slack. The result is what you see today and what will occur in the next few months ie a recession.

And nothing the Biden Administration is proposing like a temporary gas tax holiday will accomplish the goal of curbing inflation and averting a recession. Going to Saudi Arabia to suck some cock won't do it either. 1. The Saudis like high oil prices and 2. They do not trust Biden. Only a pivot rescinding Biden's initial actions against the fossil fuel industry will work, although even that might be too late to avert a recession. But a reversal of policy is the one thing the Biden Administration will NEVER do because the radical left would immediately withdraw their support and the radical left are the only ones supporting Biden at the present time. So, make no mistake, Biden is toast. There is no way he runs for a 2nd term and I think there is a 30% probability he resigns for "health reasons" after the November election landslide.

Way to go Joe, you are the most incompetent President in my lifetime. But of course, destroying the fossil fuel industry was the Marxist goal all along. Too bad nobody told Joe. Here is to AOC for President in 2024!

[EihTooms]

Haha did you forget that Putin was listening to Trump and wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if Trump was still the POTUS now? You are underestimating the power of (negative) diplomacy by your guy Biden. No magic wand needed there LOL.

Ok with all seriousness, I agree that Trump's diplomacy style is weird and odd, but it definitely worked way better to keep world peace intact than the current buffoon we're stuck with until 2024 or 25th amendment or a successful impeachment after 2022 mid-term, whichever comes first. But then again, defense companies and their owners are definitely thanking your guy for the windfall of money, so it's not likely unplanned.

Putin never listened to Trump for anything. Putin told Trump. Trump obeyed.

Trump was helping Putin weaken western / democratic alliances in order to pave the way for authoritarian dictatorships to prevail over representative demicracies, starting with the USA.

Oh, so sad Biden didn't continue dutifully assisting strong man Putin in that goal, slammed on the brakes, disrupted Putin-Trump's big plans, reunified and strengthened western / democratic alliances like never before and forced poor widdow Putin to reveal to the world what a misinformed idiotic leader with big but crap military capabilities he was all along despite Trump lavishing praise on him for everything he said and did for 4 years, almost achieving Putin's goal for him in the end.

But then we had the fairest election in history, Trump was out and Putin's plans came to a crashing halt. Boo hoo.

[ScatManDoo]

And now we have Ukraine and Russia, and this is where it gets really stupid. If you want to ban Russian oil and gas, have at it. The notion you do that while slowing down energy production at home and making fun of oil companies is about as brain dead as it gets. That takes money out of our pocket and puts it right into the hands of the Russians.

Elvis believes that our boycotting of Russian oil and gas, and agreeing with other O&G buyers of Russia's oil to also boycott.

"Takes money out of our pockets and puts it right into the hands of the Russians."

[Deleted by Admin]

Domestic oil companies are today in the business of artificial shortages and gouging.

They've calculated it's better than drilling for more oil in proven fields and starting the next (never ending) glut in 32 months.

[Elvis 2008]

But your response is typical rightwingnut behavior. Make a mistake and when called out on the mistake, double down on it and insist that you were right all along. Just like your boy the Orange Buffoon.

I think the thing that is funny is JustTK may be the biggest leftist on here. I do not want to put words in his mouth but government controlled health care, higher taxes for the rich, income redistribution, even centralized economic decisions seem to be in his wheel house (JustTK please correct me if I am wrong), and yet you keep calling him a right wing nut. Why? Because he disagrees with you.

So in hindsight, he may agree with you that the 2018 team that was disbanded by Trump made sense, and that certainly did not help preventing the spread of the virus, however the notion it was all Trump's fault and China and Fauci had nothing to do with it is where you guys are completely fucking insane. JustTK did not live in the USA. If the pandemic was all Trump, why did anyone die anywhere else? And that is why we make fun of you. This idiotic notion that it was all Trump and China and Fauci were innocent.

Then of course there was the natural origin theory, anything else was pure conspiracy. And there is not one shred of evidence that this occurred naturally. This virus was specifically designed for humans. It was a bunch of "experts" calling anyone who questioned the mess they created a bunch of conspiracy theorists. The sad part is China and Fauci walk because you Dems so badly want to put the whole pandemic on Trump.

And now we have Ukraine and Russia, and this is where it gets really stupid. If you want to ban Russian oil and gas, have at it. The notion you do that while slowing down energy production at home and making fun of oil companies is about as brain dead as it gets. That takes money out of our pocket and puts it right into the hands of the Russians. But even a policy as stupid as that, PVMonger, and you cannot even admit it is stupid. You will divert or play some gotcha game as to why that is not what is happening.

For the most part, I liked Trump's policies but having to be the center of everything got really, really old. He antagonized everyone close to him. I remember someone saying that Trump could never share the spotlight with anyone. He always had to be the brightest star, and that sure seemed true to me. He got away with public gaffes no one else could, but privately, he had no such luck. Trump had virtually no one loyal to him in the end.

https://www.westernjournal.com/biden...use-inflation/

But above is the single stupidest thing I have ever heard a president say economically, and it shows he is not fit for office. "I'm sick of this stuff. The American people think the reason for inflation is government spending more money. Simply not true!

When I was 5 years old, I wondered why someone did not just print a pile of money for everyone. At age 6, I realized that if there were that much money, no one would want it. So if you printed out a million dollars and handed it to everyone, the price of gasoline would go to $6 million a gallon. Obviously, Biden does not know what I realized at age 6.

So the question for you PVMonger is can you admit that Biden saying excessive government spending does not cause inflation is wrong? Can you admit the Biden policy enriching Russia and costing the USA is wrong too? Here is the thing. I do not think you can.

I feel like the Steve Eisman character in the Michael Lewis book The Big Short. He made a killing shorting the housing market in 2008 but he could not believe how stupid everyone was. And I cannot believe how fucking stupid the Biden energy policy is and how anyone can go along with it at this point. I am up huge at this point watching Biden drive the economy into the ground, and I almost feel guilty making a killing when everyone else is hurting and brother, you ain't seen anything yet. The only way energy prices come down with Biden is if we have a painful recession. He does not have a fucking clue what he is doing.

[JustTK]

Why don't you try to engage with the arguments, instead of trying to play "goitcha". Honestly, its pathetic.

[JustTK]

You were the one who used the term "Hierarchy of Information", not me. And you used that term multiple times in multiple posts which I can provide if you like. Maybe you can enlighten everybody by providing sources that show that the terms "Hierarchy of Information" and "Hierarchy of Evidence" are actually the same thing and are used interchangeably.
