Even though Biden has said he would take out the pipelines, the administration floats out the ridiculous notion that Russia blew up its own pipeline. Seymour Hersch writes an article in exhaustive detail about how the pipelines were blow up by American special forces. He is mocked but no one dares to sue him.
There is UN proposal to investigate the pipeline. Russia could veto the investigation, but they don't. Who does? The USA.
So it is pretty obvious to me the USA blew up the pipelines. Hell, Biden himself said he would.
Putin is asked by Tucker Carlson who blew up the pipelines. Instead of saying the USA, he jokes and says to Tucker Carlson "you did". Then he goes into the issue and does not mention the USA by name. He says look into who said they would destroy the pipeline and who is capable of doing it.
The American military industrial complex has been sounding warning alarms about China. Tucker Carlson asked about Putin about China, a nation it has a huge border with, and he says we are not worried about them at all.
So my question to you Tooms is one of clarification. When you mention this America-hating collusion between Russia and Trump / Team Trump, you mean the American military industrial complex that staged a terrorist attack and an act of war against Russia right and wants to drain our resources with perpetual wars? That must be the America you mean and if so, I completely agree with your POV.

Walter Kirn: Anyway, so having been through the first round of this when it was Pat Robertson's bailiwick, it's now Rachel Maddow who preaches fire and brimstone.
Rachel Maddow: You are not hallucinating, that was two senior Republicans, including the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, praising the Biden administration, saying how much they trust them and value them to deal with what was first reported last week as an emerging national security threat, of Russia trying to put satellite killer nuclear weapons in orbit around the Earth up in space.
Matt Taibbi: You would think there would be, oh, well, Russia's going to be nuking our satellites, so let's have classes in remedial talking face-to-face, this is the USA Postal System, this is what a stamp is. But all this stuff is just so patently absurd. It's been manifestly clear to Americans, since, what, the early '50's, that mutually assured destruction is something that we have to live with on a daily basis. We've known this, we've known that accidental apocalypse is entirely possible, and we're not asked to worry about that, we're asked to worry about this new weapon system that has not even been deployed, and no one has even confirmed the existence of yet. Because why exactly? I don't fully understand. It's clearly connected somehow to trying to get the aid bill passed, the $95 billion aid bill passed.
Walter Kirn: So if Ukraine prevails, if Ukraine repels the invader, does that mean there won't be any space nuke? Will they give up on that?
Matt Taibbi: That's right. How do you connect those dots, right?
Walter Kirn: Or is it more likely, if we put Russia in a corner, may they perhaps accelerate their Dr. Evil plans to knock out all communications around the world? Let's sit back and see the chess board, Rachel.
Matt Taibbi: And, you know, the way people's brains work now is, "Oh, yeah, I heard that. " Right? In other words, once something echoes around long enough, there's a consensus kernel of something that gets into people's minds; and it's a lot of work to extract that, which I think is at the root of a lot of these problems.
Walter Kirn: Oh, dude. I think we've proved that Russia-Gate will never. The notion of Donald Trump, Putin's instrument, will never be extracted from the American brain; and certainly not from about half of the American brain. It just won't be. It was a permanent reality implant.
Walter Kirn: Yeah. Basically, they moved to a level of desperation last week. And as we've said, the space nuke thing is a lot like the National Lampoon, buy this magazine or we'll shoot this puppy.
Matt Taibbi: Right. Right. Yes. Best magazine cover of all time.
Walter Kirn: Yeah. Pass this bill, or space nukes will take out modern life, and the Kessler Syndrome will usher you into eternal darkness. Okay? Does it get any more grave than that?
Matt Taibbi: But National Lampoon was always picking on the kind of absurd over expressions in the American media culture. But that's gone now.
Apart from us, who's really doing that? I mean, who's doing this except for people who are outside the conventional media space? You can't do that. You can't pick on this stuff anymore, which is amazing. Even during the Iraq period, we had the Daily Show, which did pick on both parties, more of the Bush side. That's all gone. There's no satire of this. This is supposed to be our official reality. We're supposed to believe it.
Walter Kirn: Matt, it's even worse. It's not all gone. The Daily Show's back. Jon Stewart is on the air again.
Matt Taibbi: Oh, I know.
Walter Kirn: Except it's the new toothless, defanged, fake Jon Stewart, who isn't making fun of war drums anymore like he used to, but dancing along to them.
Matt Taibbi: I know. I know.
Walter Kirn: As they all are.
Matt Taibbi: It's along with Stephen Colbert, who might as well be wearing epaulets from the special DARPA media squad. I don't know how they expect that people are going to subsist without comic relief, without doubt, skepticism. They think that that's the problem.
Matt Taibbi: And this is another thing that's been hard. It's a new thing. I mean, it's not a new thing, but it's a consistent feature of the stories about this phenomenon, that if when you start to see polls, for instance, about people wanting to discontinue funding or favoring negotiations, these are described as pro-Russian views everywhere. And it becomes this inescapable thing, where if you have any opinion that deviates from this narrative, if you even want to bring up the true but unhelpful, right this malinformation, then you are on the wrong side.

Posts: 1119Hunter Biden Repub Conspiracists...where are they now?
Hunter Biden, right-wing, Repub conspiracists, what's that now....crickets!!!
Not a peep out of our resident Repub Hunter Biden "laptop dick picks", "nihilist", "useful idiot" and local conspiracist, aka.Elvis 2008
I wonder is that because the nihilists, insurrectionists and conspiracists pundits over at FOXY Muse, after weeks of regurgitating and spew lies and misinformation about Hunter Biden, from their so called "reliable", "noteworthy", "top-notch" "star-witness", "confidential human source", "trusted highly credible", FBI-informant ....SUDDENLY have nothing to report, say, tell and/or lie about to their gullible right-wing audience?
Ex-FBI informant charged with lying about Bidens, arrested again
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...smirnov-arrest
Prosecutors say Smirnov falsely told his FBI handler that executives from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Joe and Hunter Biden $5m each around 2015. The claim became central to the Republican impeachment inquiry of President Biden in Congress...
Both right-wing morally bankrupt and unscrupulous institutions, being what they are, have been "lapping-up" the "Russian State milk" disinformation, like a bunch of sad pussy-cats at milking time. They've turned into a bunch of "useful idiots", Russian Gov't and State media, knew they would easily become.
Now their precious asset, is indicted on criminal charges, not a peep from James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) over in Repub world, or Sean Hannity and the other gullible but "useful idiot" pundits over at Foxy Muse.
But not to worry, all ye Repub faithless, your "useful idiots" will no doubt, be back soon enough, doubling-down on Hunter Biden "dick-picks", lies, misinformation and disinformation, from "highly credible and trusted" [Russian] informants and naturally more empty promises, to impeach the Bidens.

Donald Trump calls wife 'Melania Mercedes' during live CPAC speech.
Feb. 24, 2024
https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/new...-b2502010.html#text=Former%20 president%20 Donald%20 Trump%20 called, how%20%E2%80%9 Cpeople%20 love%20 her%E2%80%9 the.
Former president Donald Trump called Melania Mercedes as he praised his wife during a speech in Washington DC.
The crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gave the former First Lady a standing ovation as Mr Trump described how people love her.
"Oh look at that Mercedes, thats pretty good", he said as the audience stood and applauded.
The GOP presidential hopeful was making the keynote speech on 24 February on the same day as voters head to the polls in the South Carolina primary.
Headlines on Fux News or Mainstream Media sources?
Nope.
Trump's handlers now give him written notes for him to focus on and read from when he is expected to introduce his wife, Melania.
Lolol.
Please finalize these primary elections, officially name Trump and Biden the Nominees and bring on the Presidential Debates!

...Instead, Trumps supporters emit constant catcalls, boos and their own favorite profanities, in approving response to his nonstop caterwauling.
Call it for what it is, "The Trump, (John Wick) Revenge Tour".

Man Facing 91 Felonies Vows To Bring 'Very Powerful Crime' To DC
https://crooksandliars.com/2024/02/m...ses-bring-very
"No, we're going to take over Washington, D.C., we're going to federalize, we're going to have very powerful crime, and you're going to be proud of it again," Donald vowed.
Unless he really meant what he said, of course. In which case, shouldn't they still devote an hour of primetime to, you know, questioning why anyone would vote for such an outcome?

Posts: 5454Please finalize the nominations and bring on the Prez Debates.
These are the prepared and rehearsed responses to "the issues" that Do Nothing Repub candidate Trump has been repeating for months on the campaign trail while President Joe Biden has been busy with a real job, producing and presiding over the best Dem Recovery, Economic Expansion, Jobs Creation, Wage Growth, Inflation Reduction, Crime and Murder Reduction, Global Democracy-Strengthening, No USA Wars, Effective National Security presidential terms in history:
Opinion: I watched a Trump rally so you dont have to. But you need to know what hes saying.

That is a MUST READ. LOL.
Meanwhile, after every Repub, Repub Voter, Pro Repub "Bothsider" and pro Repub Mainstream Media pundit and spinner has spent 4 years of free reign characterizing Joe Biden as an incoherent, brain-dead old codger incapable of rolling out of bed in the morning, as the Dem Nominee vs the Repub Nominee he will absolutely slaughter that Repub Numbskull on any and every presidential issue asked about by any unbiased moderator on any debate stage or televised interview Trump can't find a hiding place deep enough in his basement to avoid. LOL.

Before its $83M verdict, the Carroll defamation jury watched Trump brag on tape about his wealth.
"We have a lot of cash," the jury watched Trump boast.
....
It was was as good as parading Trump before the jury with a "kick me" sign taped to his back.
"We have a lot of cash," Trump boasted in the clip that Carroll's jurors saw last Thursday morning.
"I believe we have substantially in excess of $400 million in cash, which is a lot for a developer," Trump bragged, leaning toward the camera from his seat at a conference table.
"Developers usually don't have cash," Trump eagerly went on. "We have, I believe, 400 plus, and going up very substantially every month."
