American Politics

[Elvis 2008]

You missed his top accomplishments.

Biden opens borders for criminals and drug and sex traffickers.

Biden leaves thousands of Americans in Afghanistan to perish.

Biden kills USA energy industry creating highest gas prices since Obama presidency.

Biden has record inflation and driving more people into poverty and welfare.

Biden weakness allows Russia to invade Ukraine.

This is real not like your fake news posts I am replying to. We don't need fake news to tell us what Biden has done. We live in USA. We see it ourselves. You keep watching your fake news in your shithole apartment in some shithole country.

Here is a great video on all that Biden has "accomplished". It is too funny: https://youtu.be/pSqoJTv0t2Q.

What has Biden done?

"Well. He's not a Republican."

For most brain dead Dems, that is enough.

[PVMonger]

...how you got your post count up. By simply replying dismissively with the same crap whenever you don't have anything to counter a post with! That's why I don't post more than one answer, if that!

What part is dismissive?

The fact that supporters of the one-term, twice impeached former guy call every source "fake news" that doesn't come from an ultra-stupid winger site? One can verify the truth of that on virtually every winger post.

The fact that the link you provided was an article originally published by CNN. The key to that is that the first letters in the article, the ones surrounded by parentheses, say CNN. Duh.

So the question still stands. Since the article is a CNN article and since wingers always call CNN articles "fake news", is the article true or false? If the article is true, then CNN isn't "fake news". If the article is false, then Democrats are not in for defeat in the mid-terms.

Or, will the wingers argue some form of "a broken clock is right twice per day"?

He's a twerpy little egocentric coward who his people would do well to remove without delay. And people who dislike the US need to find a new hero. That's down the toilet as well.

Getting rid of dictators usually does not work that well, and Putin's history with the USA is being deleted. Here is Matt Taibbi:

I would like to point out that we already tried regime change in Russia. I remember, because I was there. And, thanks to a lot of lurid history that's being scrubbed now with furious intensity, it ended with Vladimir Putin in power. Not as an accident, or as the face of a populist revolt against Western influence that came later but precisely because we made a long series of intentional decisions to help put him there.

Once, Putin's KGB past, far from being seen as a negative, was viewed with relief by the American diplomatic community, which had been exhausted by the organizational incompetence of our vodka-soaked first partner, Boris Yeltsin. Putin by contrast was "a man with whom we could do business," a "liberal, humane, and decent European" of "alert, controlled poise" and "well-briefed acuity," who was open to anything, even Russia joining NATO. "I don't see why not," Putin said. "I would not rule out such a possibility. "

For anyone expecting me to be outraged about this I am, after all, almost daily denounced as a Putin-lover and apologist, so surely I must want the Great Leader to stay in power forever I have to disappoint. If Vladimir Putin were captured tomorrow and fired into space, I wouldn't bat an eye.

"I don't see why not," Putin said. "I would not rule out such a possibility."

The New York Times Magazine, noting that the KGB of the seventies that Putin joined was no longer really a murder factory but just another "thinking corporation," even compared him once to Russia's first true Western-looking leader:

In him, Russia has found a humane version of Peter the Great, a ruler who will open the country to the influence of a world at once gentler and more dynamic than Russia has ever been.

I've been bitter in commentary about Putin in recent years because I never forgot the way the West smoothed his rise, and pretends now that it didn't. It's infuriating also that many of us who were critical of him from the start are denounced now as Putin apologists, I think in part because we have inconvenient memories about who said what at the start of his story. The effort to wipe that history clean is reaching a fever pitch this week. Before they finish the job, it seemed worth getting it all down.

This was my first experience learning that "experts" lie. I'd believed all the tales of a benevolent American aid program helping Russia convert to democracy. Unfortunately the real story of Russia during those years was that it was leapfrogging both Europe and America in its progress toward a purely predatory capitalist model. It became overnight what America's own future would eventually resemble. Occupy Wall Street would not identify the "1%" in America until 2011, but Russia achieved the parody version a handful of mega-billionaires surrounded by a vast population with negative wealth as early as 1995-1996.

The revolution of 1991 was really a greed-fueled intelligence mutiny, in which a collection of senior communists and KGB officers worked with Western partners to dismantle the Soviet Union. A happy by-product was that these insiders got to act as the bulwark to counter-revolution by privatizing the country's wealth into their own hands, becoming the billionaire owners of obscene mega-yachts and jets and sports teams like Chelsea football and the future Brooklyn Nets. They became the instant-coffee elites whose personal investment in the survival of their states' institutions are a consistent element of modern neoliberal democracies everywhere.

Instead of explaining this, Western reporter colleagues based in Moscow sent mountains of stories home about Russia's "remarkable progress" (the term regularly used by the West's aid community) toward a free-market, Western-style paradise. They churned out hagiographic profiles of the English-speaking, often Western-educated politicians like Anatoly Chubais, the aforementioned Gaidar, Maxim Boyko, and other architects of Yeltsin's transition. The crucial events were the privatizations of Soviet industry, conducted at every step with the counsel of American (and specifically Harvard-trained) economists. These transactions were often described as "rough" or "bumpy. " Some of the more corrupt episodes, like the loans-for-shares auctions in which the Yeltsin government lent cronies money needed to buy controlling stakes in companies the size of Exxon or AT&T for pennies on the dollar, were described using mind-boggling euphemisms like "relatively fair" (the Washington Post formulation) or "relative transparency" (Euromoney, in naming Chubais "Central Banker of the Year".

The oligarch class was formalized in a stroke via a deal brokered at Davos in 1996. A handful of biznesmeni would be handed the loans-for-shares gifts in exchange for a promise to fund Yeltsin's campaign against the communists. The bankers had reason to worry. No less a source than Canada's current Finance Minister and former Financial Times writer Chrystia Freeland reported that they'the been warned by George Soros. Soros, Freeland said, told the oligarchs that Yeltsin, who initially polled at 7% nationally, would lose in 1996 to communist Gennady Zyuganov, who would certainly re-take their riches. "Boys, your time is up," he reportedly said.

Instead of fleeing, they agreed to throw their weight behind Yeltsin, putting the West-friendly Chubais in charge of the campaign. My good friend Leonid Krutakov was fired from Izvestia for reporting on the fee Chubais was paid for this service: an interest-free $3 million loan given by Stolichny bank.

The "relatively fair" privatization auctions were historic events. As my friends and former Moscow Times reporters Matt Bivens and Jonas Bernstein reported, "financiers" like Vladimir Potanin and Mikhail Khodorkovsky were loaned the capital to become controllers of, respectively, a third of the world's nickel and a fourth of its cobalt, and 2% of the world's oil reserves. Meanwhile murderous gangsters like Boris Berezovsky were gifted controlling stakes in companies like Aeroflot (from which he siphoned to a Swiss shell company roughly a third of its annual $400 million in revenues) and Russia's seventh-largest oil concern, Sidanko.

After Yelstin's win, the resultant new billionaires Russia's 1% were lavished with praise as they absconded with wealth belonging to the Russian people. The Wall Street Journal called Potanin a "Russian Bill Gates," while the New York Times compared Berezovsky to "Commodore Vanderbilt. " Meanwhile ordinary workers fainted from hunger on the job or were ground to bits in increasingly unsafe machinery, with everyone from miners to construction workers reduced to Matewan-style indenture. While at the exile I did a tour with Siberian bricklayers who worked long hours in frostbite conditions for chits to the company store worth a couple of bags of rice or flour a month.

Note: Putin's efforts at pretending to be a democrat were unusually transparent. In this respect he was a bit like Yeltsin, whose village-drunk exterior was self-consciously designed to make him look more nash, our "ours," compared to his spiffy predecessor Gorbachev, who came across like a man who'd blow Hitler's corpse for a Brooks Brothers gift card. Putin in the same way wanted it known he struggled to orate like a "technocrat," while American-educated peers like Chubais and Gaidar were fluent spouters of neoliberal wankery. You can imagine how it sounded when, asked about Borodin, Putin cited "a golden rule, a fundamental principle of any democratic system," that was "called presumption of innocence."

The framework for the nineties-era looting of Russia, that according to some estimates caused millions of premature deaths, depended upon insiders with intelligence backgrounds working the machinery of capital flight while political front creatures like Yeltsin were given Swiss bank accounts, French villas, and millions or billions in carrying charges as compensation for effecting the faade of "democracy. " The passage revealed him as a working girl to the West, one of the few truths he'd be embarrassed to admit.

The exile, and the Russian-language paper Stringer where I worked, went after Putin from the moment he appeared in Moscow. We depicted him in covers as a leather dominatrix forcing Russia to kneel, while taking considerable risk in publishing in what in hindsight was not the brightest move transcripts of wiretaps we obtained of Putin's vicious chief of staff Alexander Voloshin. We warned that Putin was becoming the Russian Michael Corleone, whose style was to "mix not- so-oblique public symbolism with energetic off-camera ruthlessness and violence," using intimidation to settle all family business against the free press and "reformers." We weren't alone in the expat community. Bivens, by then editor of the Moscow Times, committed multiple reporters to a painstaking investigation of election irregularities in Dagestan suggesting Putin's 2000 election was badly tainted. Few took up the story, except to report the Putin administration's denial.

Instead, the West hailed the cleanliness of Putin's 2000 election. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, or OSCE, one of the world's primary election observers, said the "2000 presidential election represented a benchmark in the ongoing evolution of the Russian Federation's emergence as a representative democracy."

Harvard advisers Andrei Schleifer and Daniel Treisman as late as 2005 wrote a paper called A Normal Country: Russia After Communism that favorably contrasted the OSCE's assessment of Russian democracy under Putin with that of its ex-Soviet neighbors like Georgia ("ballot stuffing and protocol tampering" Azerbaijan ("primitive falsification" and Ukraine ("flagrant violations of voting procedures" and a "widespread, systematic, and co-ordinated campaign by state institutions at all levels to unduly influence voters" As noted in this space just last week, Bill Clinton upon Putin's election praised Russians for "voting in extraordinary numbers against a return to the past," adding that they'd "just completed a democratic transfer of power for the first time in a thousand years."

From 1991 on, Russia developed a community of ferocious muckrakers who took on the mob state and risked their lives almost every time they published. I was in awe of these people and tagged along with them over the years, trying to soak up any knowledge they were willing to give. By 1999, their ranks had been diminished by assassinations, takeovers, and newspaper closures. Still, they were determined to make a stand against Putin before his rule was cemented. They dug in when the second Chechen War was re-ignited after a series of suspicious bombings of Russian residential buildings in late 1999 were attributed to Chechen terrorists.

A Canadian paper asked him during this time in a fawning piece how he felt about being considered the sexiest man in his country. Putin replied, in Caesarian tones, "I endure it. " People like current Canadian Finance Minister Freeland talked in the New Statesman about his presidency as a reason to fall back "in love" with Russia. A World Bank spokesperson initially hyped Russia as "substantially better off" with him in power, cheering the fact that he would be a bulwark against a "centrally planned economy." The World Bank statement is useful to look at in retrospect. Addressing the moral issues of the Putin regime:

It is evidently true that any country's economic process has to be rooted in its own values and systems. And that those values and systems in Russia itself are in transition. There has been a tendency at times in the West to see things in simple terms sometimes in terms of standards that Western countries don't apply to themselves. That really comes back to what I said earlier it's going to be a messy process with setbacks as well as progress.

The West, in other words, was willing to overlook the "messiness" of Putin because he seemed a good candidate to be the silnaya ruka (strong hand) guaranteeing stability of trade the comatose Yeltsin never quite could be.

We thought he would be our bastard. Then, he became his own bastard.

In 2000 Putin began the process of re-writing the terms of the privatization arrangement brokered at Davos in 1996. It was the same deal, with one important change. Putin would allow the ex-Soviet crooks and Komsomoltsi who'the been gifted wealth beyond the dreams of even the richest Americans and Europeans to keep their ill-gotten gains, in exchange for absolute allegiance to him and a promise to get out of politics. "I want to draw your attention to the fact that you built this state yourself, to a great degree through the political or semi-political structures under your control,' Putin reportedly said. "So there is no point in blaming the reflection in the mirror."

Nikita Khrushchev returned from America so impressed he turned Ukraine into a cornfield. Putin never thought much of us and was not interested in living like Yeltsin, hated at home, his political life hanging by the thread of IMF loans. Like Chinese counterparts, he burned to throw off the stink of colonial servitude and be a superpower rather than depend on one. After Chechnya, Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Crimea, I'm embarrassed I didn't see him going this far, but the story itself isn't surprising.

Whether or not expanding or not expanding NATO to Ukraine would have altered the current picture is irrelevant. We were never not going to try, and Putin was never not going to respond as he has. He's been saying for a long time he would not accept a post-Cold War security arrangement that meant "one single center of force, one single center of decision making," bemoaning the "world of one master, one sovereign" and America's "almost contained hyper use of force in international relations. " When the United States recognized independent Kosovo, he said it was a "terrible precedent" that would hit the West "in the face" and "blow apart the whole system of international relations. " This seems to be more or less exactly where we are.

Not unlike Donald Trump, Putin made a wager early on that his country would fare better taking the nationalist path than it would as a vassal state to a global economic system he believed was declining. Now that he's made such a dramatic commitment in that direction, his story is destined for the same treatment in the Western press as Trump's election, as an unspeakable evil whose origins are a taboo subject. Anyone who even brings them up must be an apologist. What sort of person cares from whose womb the devil emerged?

We're watching a clash of civilizations, in which the international order needs to see its most infamous apostate, and the nationalism he represents, crushed both as an idea and as a military power. The situation is particularly dangerous because Putin has always operated on the understanding that the only political error that is not survivable is a show of weakness. Which means, to me, that if he has to turn Kyiv into a vacuum-bombed moonscape like Grozny, he will. It's horrific to contemplate. But to those demanding another denunciation of the man, I checked that box a long time ago, during the Frankensteinian portion of this story, when America had its best shot at fixing its Putin problem and chose not to try. We're past all that now. All that's left to do is hold on, and pray all of this madness cools somehow, before someone dusts off the button.

Many of the dim-witted supporters of the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy will undoubtedly watch the SOTU.

The following is a guide telling them how to watch it: https://news.yahoo.com/gop-guide-wat...100105263.html.

Since the article comes from USA Today, I suspect that they will call it "fake news" without ever having read it. However, if it is the "fake news" that they say it is, then it is all a lie and they'll do none of the things contained in the article. Like:

1. Make sure you boo when Biden is introduced.

2. You should also boo when Biden gets behind the podium, when he opens his mouth and any time air moves past his vocal cords making vibrations that produce sound. The only time you should not boo is if he falls down or announces he is immediately resigning and handing the presidency back to Trump.

3. Clapping is strictly prohibited, except in the instance of the aforementioned falling or resigning.

4. Don't look at Pelosi! House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will be seated behind Biden during the address. It is crucial you avoid looking at her, as there have been reliable reports on the internet that she will be blinking subliminal lessons on critical race theory throughout the president's speech.

LOL. Very good.

But I suspect the game plan for the GOP sitting in the chamber is to behave as politely as their lunatic minds will allow.

This is an election year. And a midterm at that. Biden's next election is almost 3 years away. What the GOP wants is to win or steal as many Congressional and Senate seats as possible.

The way they improve their chances to do that when it is impossible for them to ever run on their actual record of results going back about a century is to spend much of these election years pretending to be well thought out, a reasonable alternative to the Dems, a classic "Bothsider" option that shouldn't alarm anyone, in short, almost exactly the same as the Dems.

Might as well vote for them. Why not? They seem as normal and America-loving as Dems.

So they will probably behave themselves for the most part during Biden's speech.

Then after the election, if they have indeed taken control of the House and Senate, they will immediately revert right back to their old obstructionist, Do Nothing, America-hating, freedom and democracy-destroying Repub selves.

[EatALotOpus]

I wonder if Canada, Cali and the rest of the "everything is 'fake news' unless it comes from a winger site" crowd will call this "fake news" since it comes from CNN.

Flip flop, flip flop? Or "even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while"? Or "even a broken clock is right twice a day"? Or?

ROFL.

...how you got your post count up. By simply replying dismissively with the same crap whenever you don't have anything to counter a post with! That's why I don't post more than one answer, if that!

[EatALotOpus]

This guy, though still a "everything government does is bad," intelligence quotient challenged wingnut, brings some charm to the table. He's one I'd buy a Pilsen or even a girl in a casa if he finds his way to Medellin. I have already enjoyed, and thanks for the contributions.

Deep breath LOL.

Let me make a small Correction in your post. Everything Democrats do is bad and self serving.
First time in CLO 1980. Remember what you were doing then?
Made SE Asia my playground long ago

Thanks for the offer.

Only About 16 months ago Biden beat the snot out of Trump in all of their "no teleprompter", unscripted Presidential debates, including the one where Trump tried but failed to infect him with his Trump's Pandemic virus and of course the one where Trump was too scared shitless to show up.

There is nothing wrong with Biden's cognitive capabilities.

When I hear him repeat "oranges, oranges" when he is apparently trying to say the word "origins" or "anominus, anominus" when he is apparently trying to say the word, "anonymous" or he says, "Yo, Semite" when he is apparently trying to say name of one of America's most famous National Parks, then I would highly recommend a cognitive capabilities examination.

I would also highly recommend it if as a self-proclaimed "stable genius" businessman whose disastrous economic decisions gave us 40 year high inflation, he praises as "smart, brilliant, a genius" the number one enemy of the civilized world whose spectacular act of historic stupidity just left him isolated and reviled by almost everyone on the planet including his own people except for America's defeated, twice impeached former so-called president and his blithering cult followers and whose last ok day of his life was the day before he moved to invade and overthrow a budding democracy and who just saw his country's Ruble plunge to below the value of a penny.

That would definitely be evidence of serious cognitive deficiency.

Looks like that was quite true, have you heard of libel and defamation of character torts?

So maybe the conspiracy nuts aren't so nuts after all and just use allegorical means to describe what's going on ie, until Epstein is arrested and Prince Andrew pays off a minor.

The huge difference being the accomplishments I cited were accompanied by substantiation links.

Your accusations were accompanied by capital letters, small case letters, a few spaces and periods here and there, zero substantiation links and a ton of bullshit.

[Xpartan]

Let's repeat this more clearly, so you will understand, perhaps. Getting the Russians to invade was the move right out of the Brezeznski playbook, you remember: arming the mujahadim so the Soviets invade Afghanistan, 1979. So, again the Russians take the bait. We'd contend this is a win-win for the USA, that is so long as the people running the show behind Senile POTUS are content to sit back, rub their hands together in excitement over slavs killing slavs, and don't get carried away and do something stupid, in which case everyone is fcuked.

"Getting the Russians to invade".

Yeah, right. Hitler said the same thing every time before bombing yet another country.

Back then, however, there weren't too many mentally defectives who would believe his bullshit.

Then came Trump and dead-brain golfinhos, and QANON, and trafficked kids that Hillary held on chains in the cellar of a DC pizzeria.

And all of a sudden, spewing crazy bullshit that no reasonable person could possibly take seriously, became not only OK, but even respectable.

Getting the Russians to invade.

Sigh!

[Gino02]

Those articles include and refer to the actual, verifiable data in order to make their point.

For example, they don't say, "I 'think' the Unemployment Rate declined to 4% from the double digits and climbing Biden inherited from Trump at record speed" or "I 'think' Biden passed a $1.2 Trillion bipartisan long overdue Infrastructure legislation that Trump never even got $1 for over 4 deadbeat Do Nothing years" or "I 'think' hospitalizations and deaths from Trump's Pandemic Virus are declining dramatically now" or anything like that.

The data they cite are real, not just their opinion.

LOL you really lost your brain. Sorry bro. And glad that most Americans aren't as brainless stubborn as you. I'm happy that most people can change their positions based on their real experiences and learnings, instead of keep supporting this "damp sock puppet in human form".

[PVMonger]

I went to Bureau of Land Management Site and it does not show that anywhere on that site. I googled it and it came up as an opinion on a liberal site. Please show me the BLM posting of this information or admit you just took it from fake news.

Since you consider every source to be "fake news" unless it comes from a ultra-stupid winger site, it is no wonder that you consider anything contrary to your POV to be "an opinion on a liberal site."

I know that you will consider all of these sources "fake news" because they aren't from the dim-witted sites you frequent:

Even the biased MSM can't suppress the stupidity anymore. I'm not even putting the more factual references from real unbiased journalists.

On the eve of his State of the Union address, amid an international crisis, President Joe Biden has sunk to his worst approval numbers yet.

A new Washington Post / ABC poll found just 37 percent of adults approve of Biden's job performance.

https://www.vox.com/2022/3/1/2292794...aine-inflation

President Biden's approval rating sinks ahead of State of the Union.

But but we do have some ultra smart experts here who still think the "damp sock puppet in human form" is better than "the orange man of mean tweets" LOL.

5. Forget all the specifics of events that occurred between Jan. 20,2017, and Jan. 20,2021, and assume everything in that span of time was perfect and magical. Next, remind yourself that all events from Jan. 21,2021, to the present day have been earth-scorchingly horrible, your kids are now educated by communists, freedom of speech has been outlawed, librarians are the enemy and you can no longer go to church because Vice President Kamala Harris killed God by existing.

6. Don't be fooled by positive facts.

7. Prior to the broadcast, make sure you have an anti-wokeness white-noise player near your television to filter out inclusive language you might find offensive.
