The most shocking thing about the 2020 election was that there were enough Repubs who were even more astonishingly stupid than Trump to actually put him up for re-election and vote for him at all.

Yes, we all knew Repubs were stupid. But it was even shocking to me that they were that stupid.

The 2020 election was not rigged except by the built-in Electoral College rigging that allows states with more outhouses than office buildings to have a ridiculously outsized say in putting Repub numbskulls in the White House.

You should be ashamed to admit you are so over-the-top in love with the worst so-called potus of all time, Trump, that you fantasize about how the po' widdow America-hating con man was cheated out of 4 more years of producing the crappiest crap results of all your beloved crap Repub so-called presidents.[/QUOTE]They are worried about her tainting the integrity of their brand? But it doesn't have any LMAO just tune into that lesbo on msnbc and all the rest of the NBC / MSNBC pathological liars LOL.

Essentially, the war in Ukraine is about resetting global arrangements. Sure, the war is about the Russian invasion, and it has caused untold suffering, but what we see is only the proverbial tip of the iceberg.

Beneath the surface is a deadly confrontation between two competing world visions: Western capitalist globalism vs. Eastern nationalist socialism. Although Ukraine is the battleground, the stakes are global.

The Western vision started at the end of WWII and continued thereafter when the winning powers set up the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, and other regional blocs.

Later, Europe began to unite, and NATO was set up to defend the West. The intention of the founders was honorable: to safeguard and promote freedom and democracy. However, as the French philosopher Blaise Pascal once said, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions. ".

In time it became known as the New World Order. From the start, it favored the rich countries and the strong corporations. With the passage of time, nation states and governments began to lose their prerogatives and international companies began to control the world's economy. As long as America defended the West against brutal and godless communism, the system worked.

But once the communist bloc disintegrated, the rush toward globalization became a savage race. While rich people and corporations became richer, increasingly more people and some entire countries began to struggle causing social confusion and polarization.

The USA Media, for example, often refers to the "1%" of the population that owns most of everything and controls society. The American political system still works, but average people struggle under financial debt.

On a global level, the situation is a lot worse. In his book "Superclass: The Global Power Elite and the World They Are Making" (Ferrar, Straus and Giraux, New York, 2008), David Rothkopf describes a world controlled by several thousand greedy billionaires who have everything and, yet, they want even more.

These globalists backed by the American government and apologists of globalization have their own view of earthly paradise. They claim, "In the future, people will own nothing, and everybody will be happy!

Really? Who will be in charge? What does the average American stand to gain?

During Soviet times, Moscow was supposed to establish communism as a "worker's paradise. " Did we reverse roles and, instead of communism, we now push for globalization?

Regarding the war in Ukraine, yes, we should assist the suffering Ukrainian people. For most Americans, the appeal is humanitarian. For the global elite, the end game means huge resources and more profits.

And if Ukraine is added to the Western globalist portfolio, maybe Russia will be next.

The Russian Federation under Putin does not like such a perspective, while the Russian society is thoroughly split. The young, educated generation is attracted by the lure of the West. The oligarchs are divided. They would accept the new order if the West would let them keep the loot.

The Russian majority is caught by surprise. Many Russians have returned to the old Christian religion and values, but they do not like Putin's authoritarian rule.

The new Russia, and especially the Orthodox Church, also rejects the values, mentality, and behavior of the West. They deplore its chaotic liberties, licentious behavior, lack of morality, and anti-Christian trends. The Western and Eastern visions are now colliding in Ukraine, but that might be just a waystation toward a global reset.

Behind Russia is China, a nationalist-socialist country with its own plan and vision of the world: another vision; another future clash.

Nicholas Dima, Ph. The. , is a former professor and author of numerous books and articles including the autobiographical memoir "Journey to Freedom," a description of the effects of communist dictatorship on a nation, a family and an individual. He currently lectures.

[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2683991]Look at the facts. Oil consumption in the world is increasing still to this day. Don't be stupid enough to fall for the fake news.[/QUOTE]Agreed. Look at the facts. If oil usage was really going down there would be a surplus and it wouldn't be $100 a barrel. If oil usage was going down Biden wouldn't be begging other countries to produce more oil. There is no one stupid enough to believe oil usage will go down in 2022.

You can read the article and watch the full report but if you go to the video and want to watch Joe Biden as you never want to see him at the 3:12 mark. What do you do when your own eyes see such a pathetic sight?

Well, if you are a Democrat, you fact check it, [URL]https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-biden-clip-idUSL2N2W51U1[/URL].

The article links to another video on youtube and it is not quite as damning but it is not that much better.

Still the comments are not good. "he stumbled upon someone that was going up to try and see BO. Nobody is seeking out Joe. Why the backflips by Reuters to try and convince otherwise?

And my favorite, "This is supposed to be fact check that he wasn't ignored and lost? Swing and a miss, Reuters."

The irony is that Tucker Carlson did not show this clip just to demonstrate that Biden was lost and demented. It was to show that the Democrats have abandoned him, and there were many more clips that supported his POV. Anyone who looks at that clip and thinks Biden is truly popular among Democrats can see that it is not so.[/QUOTE]I read both of your links.

In neither of them did I find the quote you used: "This is supposed to be fact check that he wasn't ignored and lost? Swing and a miss, Reuters."

So what you did was find a quote from some rightwingnut source that you mysteriously didn't post and then try to scam us into thinking that it came from Reuters or some other real news organization.

This is a typical Republican MO. But it backfired because not everybody is as dumb as you are.

Where would all that L. A. Traffic be going to and from? Surely not their homes and jobs. Nobody in California can afford a home or to buy Biden-inflated gas prices anyway, right? Especially since Biden's economy hasn't created one job, much less a better, higher paying job. Or so I hear.

The Ukrainians are fighting for their country and freedom.

Europe and the USA Are supporting them because they don't want another long war in Europe and because the mad tsar of Russia is a danger to everyone.

Some things are easy and don't need to be explained in many words.

Morons with a realpolitik bible and a few big words under their belt are the worst kind of morons.

I cannot help it if you are two are so effing stupid you do not know how to use links. I cannot count how many times this has happened.

Here is a riddle: what do Democrats say when they are proven wrong? No one knows. No Democrat ever admits they are wrong about anything.

[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2683992]I can understand that you can't afford to hire a good lawyer and you got stuck with a court appointed lawyer so you got a dumb one. That is the luck of the draw.

And it really is unfair that you are admitting your lawyer is stupid when he can't defend himself.[/QUOTE]Intelligent people know that [B]Carlson's lawyer[/B] said (during a trial of a suit brought against Carlson for libel) that what Carlson says is BS and that anybody who believes what he says is an idiot. Intelligent people know that rightwingnut media did not report that because they want their readers / listeners to believe that whatever Carlson says is "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth."

Intelligent people know all of this so it is no surprise to anybody that you don't.
