LINKThe Pointless Putsch - CounterPunch.org
"Which is the truly bizarre thing about this whole fiasco. The devotion to Trump would be more understandable if he had made the average Americans life materially better while he was in office. But he didn’t. Sure the stock market rose, but average Americans don’t own stocks, and if they do it is a very small amount. Wages didn’t get better, healthcare didn’t get more affordable, housing didn’t get more affordable, the environment didn’t become better protected, and he criminally ...

"Permeating the FDD essays is an implicit assumption that we still live in the world of 2000. Back then, policy elites had persuaded themselves (along with more than a few ordinary Americans) that the United States was in history’s driver seat while possessing the military might necessary to keep history moving in the right direction. Two decades later, FDD analysts see no reason to question continuing U.S. ideological and military supremacy. By extension, they see no need to think ...

LINKA Problem with Sacred Texts – TRUE? GOOD? BEAUTIFUL?
Just found this site tonight from looking up some things dealing with a discussion I was having with a former student I used to work with in my department at the university where I was formerly employed. He is a Christian who thinks his apologetics should be enough to convert me. He's quite brilliant otherwise, but his apologetics are pretty run of the mill in my estimation. In our back and forth, I explained the claims of the bible as divinely revealed knowledge are pretty unsubstantiated as...

LINKTrump Proved That Authoritarians Can Get Elected in America - The Atlantic
"Now that Joe Biden has won the presidency, we can expect debates over whether Donald Trump was an aberration ( “not who we are!” ) or another instantiation of America’s pathologies and sins. One can reasonably make a case for his deep-rootedness in American traditions, while also noticing the anomalies: the early-morning tweeting, the fondness for mixing personal and government business, the obsession with ratings befitting a reality-TV star—the one job he was good at."

It's not China's government, it's "the CCP" with the Chinese people held as separate.
