@JonnaBononna And that wording is a typically stupid Democratic misstep which plays right into the hands of the right-wing extremists. And they have used it to great effect, painting the left as soft on crime. Fox viewers never get into the nuance of "defund," i.e. help police by removing some of their burden. All Fox viewers hear is "the lefties want to do away with the police." And now it doesn't matter how many times Joe Biden says he doesn't want to defund the police; they don't believe him. They believe Tucker Carlson.

And even if an AR15 can be put to a legitimate use, society would be much better off without them. (And really, killing a wild pig would be better done with a hunting rifle. Rounds from an AR15 fragment and cause excessive tissue damage. Not something you want to do to game that you intend to eat.)

@TomMcGiverin The ACA is a possible stepping stone towards universal healthcare. It is designed for as much Medicare expansion as anybody wants. Again, if Obama had shot only for Medicare for all, he would have gotten nothing. But he didn't get nothing. He got health insurance for 14 million people who didn't have it before. Before Obama, how many administrations tried to get a healthcare bill passed and struck out? FDR tried to get universal healthcare. No luck. Truman did too. Zippo. Johnson signed Medicare & Medicaid into law in 1965, but it wasn't universal coverage. The Clintons tried to get "managed competition" and got shot down. Obama used all his political capital and got SOMETHING, which is better than NOTHING.

The fact that he got the ACA across the finish line at all was a major accomplishment. And look what Republicans have done ever since: tried to repeal it without any plan to replace it.

@creative51 I think he's just giving credit where credit is due. It was in Europe where science really came into its own. Following the Black Plague in Europe, at the end of the Middle Ages, the survivors suddenly found themselves to be wealthy inheritors of property. This allowed leisure time to indulge in inquiry. It also helped that the printing press was invented, and literacy was no longer limited to the clergy. This gave rise to the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason.

@FrayedBear Since 2014 the Ukrainian army has kept the separatists contained behind well-established lines that, until only in the last 100 days remained relatively stable. Now Putin is pushing those lines deeper into Ukraine, underlining the true motive behind his invasion: to gobble up the whole of Ukraine and thereby add a rich and tasty morsel to his ravenous and corrupt empire.

Well worth the 20 minutes.

@misstuffy I agree. I think we are close to critical mass now. And that's probably why we see white nationalism raising its ugly head. It's not that there are more of them than before. It's that they perceive their growing marginalization, and are lashing out. Of course social media and dog-whistling Done Cheato brought disparate groups together.

@puff Yeah, now right-wing extremists want to ban all "woke" school textbooks that honestly treat the sordid side of American history. Every few years we hear about another attempt to supplant the science of biological evolution with some religious horse shit. These impulses to turn away from truth are not only pathetic and stupid, but also corrupt and dangerous. As for Ukrainians banning Russian propaganda, who can blame them? If War And Peace somehow ended up on the list, that's unfortunate, but not the end of the world. Tolstoy is kinda wordy anyway.

@BD66 I remember gas prices as low as 30 cents a gallon in the early-mid 60s. But I also remember the price hitting 1 dollar per gallon in the mid 70s, and it never went back down significantly. Gas prices in Europe were aleady over 5 dollars a gallon in the 80s, and would have been here too if it were nit for the tens of billions in corporate welfare dollars the fossil fuel industry collects every year. Inflation is a reality in every modern economy. And the US economy is the biggest the world has ever seen. So 30 trillion is not really as big a number as it sounds. I would like to see the national debt smaller than it is. Unfortunately the Done Cheato had to go and give a huge tax break to the rich, and of course the national debt skyrocketed. Republicans, as is their wont, would fix the problem by cutting away the social safety net. I guess they like that "kersplat!" sound when non-rich people hit bottom. Dude, you watch too many movies. Done Cheato is Putin's bitch, and mad MAGA hatters are if nothing else loyal to their führer.

@BD66 Hmmm, well (a) you are using the word "Republicans" very loosely. And even if 100% of mad MAGA hatters call themselves Republicans, the minimum number of MAGA hatters who favor Russia is probably closer to 6 million. And it may be double that. Or triple. Who knows? More study is required. And [b] this supposed voter fraud you claim happened is just so much hogwash. Trump's lawyers brought over 60 lawsuits around the country, and lost all of them for lack of evidence. Trump's own Attorney General (never was there one more supportive of a president that Barr was of Done Cheato) called Trump's claims of fraud "bullshit." And Trump's own cyber security czar said the 2020 election was the cleanest in history. When the Trump-friendly cyber ninjas recounted the votes in Arizona they found that Biden won by an even greater margin than previously thought. Trump tried to cajole and coerce the (Republican) Georgia Secretary of State into "finding" some more Trump votes, but they were not to be found. Trump's personal lawyer had his law licence suspended for bringing spurious claims into court. Many of the judges who heard those claims were nominated by Republican presidents. Some by the Done Cheato himself. 😂😂😂

@Silver1wun The idea that NATO would invade Russia, a big country armed to the teeth with enough nuclear weapons (and the systems to deliver them) to blow the whole world to smithereens ten times over, is positively ludicrous. Putin's supposed fear of such an invasion is a pathetically weak casus belli, but hey, you go with the excuse you've got, right? The threat that Ukraine and/or NATO poses to Russia is exactly that posed to France by Spain: zero.

@Druvius @HippieChick58 That arms deal with Ukraine was already baked in when Done Cheato took office. And he did his best to nix it. Remember that little faux pas with a phone call, and abuse of office, trying to extort a personal favor from a foreign leader? Trump held up the arms shipments for months....until things got too hot for him. Putin was no doubt emboldened by the gesture, and deeply gratified by all Cheato's hard work denigrating NATO at every opportunity. And what are we to make of Cheato's public rejection of his own intelligence community's analysis in favor of Putin's "very strong" denials? Yeah, Trump is Putin's bitch.

You don't see France invading Spain over its internal contratemps with Basque separatists, do you? No. D. I don't trust the American military industrial complex as far as I could throw it.

You have an interesting interpretation of the polling data. I think you see what you want to see in it. Well, let's go with that and see how far it takes us. If we accept the assertion that 92% of republicans have an unfavorable view of Russia, and we take the number of Republicans to be the number that voted for Done Cheato in 2020 at 70 million, that leaves about 6 million Republicans who do NOT take a dim view of Russia. Now here is a question that was not addressed in the poll: how many MAGA hatters identify themselves as Republicans? Not 100%, I'll bet! How many of those MAGA jerks place themselves in the same Party with Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, Lyn Cheyney, Brad Rafsthenberger, Jeff Flake, Brian Kemp...and others who have stood up to Done Cheato?

@Druvius I know that promises were made that NATO would not expand east of Germany. I also know that Putin was deeply affected by what happened to Libya's Gadhafi, and to Saddam in Iraq. What dictator wouldn't be? Maybe if he wasn't such a corrupt shit-heel he wouldn't have to worry so much. In any case, the fact remains that Ukraine was minding her own business when Putin suddenly invaded. There is no excuse for that. None. Nobody was ever going to invade Russia, a big country armed to the teeth with enough nukes to wipe out all life on Earth. Putin's ostensible worries over that are just so much wind...a very weak casus belli. The real reason that Putin invaded Ukraine was to distract his subjects from how severely fucked they are by Putin and his circle of corrupt oligarchs. It's all a PR stunt. Russians love a strongman, and are nostalgic for past "greatness."
