"Did he mention that Joe Biden is not the president of any of those countries, that America was actively at war on foreign soil for every minute of every hour of Trump's so-called presidency and that more Americans were killed in that foreign conflict on Trump's watch than have been killed in any foreign conflict on Biden's watch?
Yep. Thanks, Joe."
Weakness attracts aggression.
Thank Dirty Joe.
He's way too busy shuffling all his stolen loot, and directing the DOJ to protect the junkie.
Hopefully Jordan gets the gavel and impeaches the "Dirty shit stain" already!

Posts: 690Can we call the European & American beasts "Bison" ?
Finally, amid the pissing contests and dead horses being flogged here a subject dear to my heart is mentioned. The noble beasts, the American and European woods bison, which are growing in numbers. I buy bison meat. 10% fat and tasty indeed. My mate buys lotto tickets in Uk. Myself in USA. The proceeds from the jackpot will fund bison & other wildlife habitat and our hobby finding working girls for hire. Each of my long time concubines will benefit greatly for years of reliable service and possible friendship, in my mind, at least.

Posts: 1807And by the way, the New York magazine article says Mucha wouldn't confirm or discuss his political affiliation. You cut off your quote just before that part. Furthermore Rohan Grey, who said Mucha was a Republican who voted for Ron Paul, is a progressive advocate of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). He would possibly think you and Tooms are Republicans. At least you two think MMT is just as nutty as I do, or you wouldn't be criticizing the trillion dollar platinum coin. Finally what's the title of the article? "The Man Who Invented the Trillion Dollar Coin. " The man is Carlos Mucha, not Bo what's his name.

Posts: 2579The church doesn't rape and sodomize young boys GAY MEN do
"I wanted to circle-back to your opening line and add some additional thoughts, to my previous post, as a separate, but inclusive response / post:
You Said:
First, I'm sure many of us, mongers on this ISG forum, at one time or another, have been called "sexual freaks" (naturally from the women and girls we've seen and been with over the years). And I'm sure we all, still consider ourselves to be "good people"around kids. So is that really a good metric or criteria you want to "hang your hat on" when it comes to hanging around children?
Secondly, while I acknowledge that your entitled to feel the way you do, I think your outrage, hate or dislike towards StoryBook Hour (SBH) readings, is misplaced, unfounded and simply I feel, is just overblown right-wing media hype and propaganda.
If the parents of the kids see fit to take their kids to a SBH reading hour, who are you to say otherwise? Conversely, while I may find parents who take their kids to a "Nazi" style book-ban / book-burning event / protest, very distasteful, disgusting, immoral, unethical, stupid and pathetic, (and / or the left) will still defend their right to do so.
Thirdly, when you consider the millions of sexual abuse cases, against a trusted and venerated institution, that the right hold very dear to their identity, you begin to understand behind the right-wing's hate for SBH reading hour.
It's appalling and staggering, at the amount of empirical data, papers, articles, documented and reported cases of the church's sex abuses worldwide, spanning decades, that have directly (and / or indirectly), led to the ruining of millions of lives. So forgive me if I find, the right-wing attacks on SBH readings, just a bunch of sanctimonious BS.
May I suggest, you should be than your kids attending a (albeit prenatally supervised) SBH reading. ".

Posts: 1807Hi Spidy, I'm not gaslighting you. I'm deprogramming you. Either your memory failed you in your original post on the "trillion dollar" coin, or you're living in some kind of Orwellian world where night is day and yes means no. I'm almost sure it's the former, but figure a little deprogramming never hurt no one, so why not just in case.
Here's Carlos Mucha's twitter thread, which I posted earlier to show why I believe he's a Democrat.
https://twitter.com/mucha_carlos?lang=en
He suggested Democrats scour Georgia for eligible but not registered voters before the Senate runoffs; believed Proposition 13 in California was a bad idea; believed illegal immigrant children separated from their parents deserve a break; heartily approved of a Lincoln Project commercial to "push every button in Trump's abnormal brain";wanted Speaker Pelosi to require House members to wear masks; is on Ukraine's side in the war; believed Biden should push a plan to encourage younger people to vote; praises government for GPS, Medicare, the FDIC, and providing electricity and criticizes those who associate that with socialism; favors measures to prevent climate change; favored "AmeriCare", which would be akin to Medicare for All; praised a Capitol policeman who protected Congressmen on January 6; favored body cams for "every interaction" with the public; was a fan of Modern Monetary Theory; favored fair treatment of Palestinians in the workplace; believed in N-95, KN-95 and KF-94 masks;[b] believed that it's shocking that no one credits socialism for the great success of GPS which he believes is a great example of government working efficiently and competently; couldn't believe people are trying to put Trump back in the White House; said "it's crazy that a 3% wealth tax on billionaires is politically unthinkable yet there's already a 100% estate tax on the poor and nobody cares" ;and said "McConnell has learned through years of experience that neither he nor the GOP Senate Caucus will ever pay a political price for obstructing a Democratic President & then blaming them for not getting anything done".
Like my daddy said, "if it looks like a Democrat, and it walks like a Democrat, and it quacks like a Democrat, well then, it's a Democrat. " I actually agree with some of those tweets. But you'd be hard pressed to label the man as a Republican when you look at the totality of what he's said. Maybe he was a Libertarian who voted for Ron Paul. There are left leaning Libertarians. Tooms is a Democrat who I believe voted for Ronald Reagan.
And in any event you and Tooms are using trivia about the "progenitor" to mask your original claim that somehow it's Republicans who were foolishly using the platinum trillion dollar coin to bypass Republican opposition to the increasing the debt ceiling. That just doesn't make much sense. And I wouldn't care whether the statement that he's a republican came from someone quoted in the left-biased New York Magazine's Intelligencer or the right-biased New York Post. Mucha's political beliefs aren't consistent with a Republican's. Tooms admits as much in his last post.

So it is refreshing to discover one (1) Repub who found in him the courage to consider a remedy that is merely silly and benign compared to the colossal damage his Repub Party had hoped to inflict on the country and the rest of the planet with their repeated threats.

Posts: 1117ACT 3: Truth comes to light, the "Democrat Patsy", is indeed a...
ACT 3:
Thirdly, (for those of you still reading) what if I were to tell you, Tiny 12's "Democrat patsy", is indeed a REPUBLICAN! Carlos Mucha aka.Beowulf, the Altanta Lawyer is a REPUBLICAN!.
Here, undeniable/irrefutable evidence, he's as REPUBLICAN, as pimple on Mitch's ass:
Originally Posted by Intelligencer

So thanks to your "two nobodies" post, I began looking at the creator of the coin idea, not as singular creator, but rather as creators of the coin idea.
Now that we have established, Beowulf is Republican and a progenitor/creator of the coin idea, I designated him as exhibit (1b), as one part of the two (2) headed monster (as it were).
Again, thanks to EihTooms and another Tiny 12 post, from which I took evidence from both their Wikipedia links (both below), to again show and create exhibit (1a) and corresponding correlation to exhibit (1b).
It bears repeating again. EihTooms, was spot on when he said:

Here exhibit (1a) and (1b) are linked to coin idea/concept, using Tiny 12's very own Wiki link from one of his early posts:
Originally Posted by Wikipedia
If I recall, you said, "...I doubt Beowulf and his band of brothers had ever heard of Bo Gritz. And from my post you should know I think it's a nutty idea...to pawn the blame off on anyone but a Democrat.". Well, it's funny how, when actually meaningful FACTS are presented, it just amazing whom really sounds "nutty".
Conclusions:
From ACTs 1 thru 3, the evidence provided, incontrovertibly shows, Bo Gritz and Carlos Mucha aka.Beowulf, are inextricably linked as the progenitors/creators of the coin idea.
Mr. Gritz and Mr. Mucha, are linked as "closet" Republican (exhibit 1a) and Republican (exhibit 1b), respectively. They are very much at the genesis/center of the trillion dollar coin idea, despite, your attempt to gaslight them, by implying they were "nobodies", only emboldened me to dig further, for the truth and real FACTS. Tiny 12, I think, when you gaslight your own findings, w/r these so called "nobodies", was an obvious dead-give-away. Thanks!
So take your pick, Tiny 12...Republican 1a or 1b (or both as I have done), makes no difference, as all roads (ie. FACTS/truths), lead to REPUBLICANS, as the creators of the coin idea!
Most assuredly, I can now proclaim (for the very first time), the progenitor(s)/creator(s) of the trillion dollar coin idea is/are indeed REPUBLICAN(S) (or if you prefer, conservative right wingers).
End of ACT 3 of 3
PS: I could have gone for the short version, but this was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more fun, uncovering yet another REPUBLICAN at the center of "nutty", but not yet dismissed idea!

Posts: 1117ACT 2: "Patsy" found, but declared a "nobody", after flip-flop
ACT 2:
Secondly, so after denying the real deal (in Bo Gritz) and a couple attempts at proclaiming you'd found the "patsy", as the "original" progenitor/creator of the coin idea, you final settled on Beowulf aka.Carlos Mucha, as your "patsy". Now I'm sure you said to yourself, "...the only thing left to do, is to declare him, a Democrat. But how?"
Enter stage left, a Twitter link/feed, by a Carlos Mucha, which was meant to make us think what exactly? Make us think he is a Democrat...maybe?
Here:

In the face of EihTooms' irrefutable evidence of the real progenitor of the coin idea, a right-wing conservative (aka.Repub), was just too much to take. Naturally, it didn't sit well with you, thus needed to put forth a counter-punch and push-back w/r to EihTooms' post.
Hence a sly and wildly hastened crowning of Beowulf as your "patsy", as a Democrat, with not much to back it up, but a suspect tweeter feed and some speculation, you declared you'd found your "Democrat".
Now what comes next (from Tiny 12), is truly bizarre!
Beowulf goes from being "crowned" as The Democrat King of the coin idea, to being relegated to a "nobody". Why is he and Bo Gritz, suddenly declared as nobodies (...I ask myself)? More classic gaslighting?
Originally Posted by Tiny 12 [View Original Post]

Since I sensed a bit of "desperation" in your post, I wasn't about to wait around for the BS answer and decided, I'd best get to digging as to why the flip-flop on Beowulf.
No doubt, most of you can imagine what I found next. (...kkkk!)

Posts: 1117ACT 1: The Quest to find the "Democrat patsy" to the coin idea
NOTE: Feel free to skip to ACT 3, for those whom are not concerned with the debate minutia that has taken place w/r to FINDING the progenitor/creator of the trillion dollar coin idea.
ACT 1:
Firstly, it was YOU (Tiny 12) on several occasions, that gleefully went about proclaiming the Democrats were the progenitor/creator of trillion dollar coin idea.
For the record, all your proclamations about the progenitor/creator were INCORRECT and FALSE! I never even broached the creation of the coin idea, until you open your mouth and proclaimed, it was the Democrats!
Turns out, I was perfectly CORRECT, in thinking that the idea for the coin was a "dreamt up idea" or a "minted idea", in heads of REPUBLICANS, when I asked why Republicans think the coin idea, would solve the debt crisis? But read on, as the facts, evidence and findings will prove, the creation of he coin has Republican foot prints all over it. And I also address some of your non-factual claims.
Originally Posted by Tiny 12 [View Original Post]
Yes, it's so obvious, to anyone reading it, I simply asked a question. Unlike yourself, I did NOT make unfounded statements about the origins to the trillion dollar coin idea, in a ridiculous attempt to find, your smoking gun and/or your "Democrat Patsy" (as it were).

Here, first asserting Krugman:

And here, you proclaimed Beowulf, progenitor/creator here:
