It sticks in my mind because that was the era when AIDS was just starting to kill thousands of people; she had set up some kind of therapeutic center that helped treat, in part, people with AIDS.

During the interview, she blurted, “nobody in this room has AIDS.” Interpreted generously, she was maybe having a Hollywood-induced manic episode.…[Read more]

I don’t think anyone with a brain – American or otherwise – believes that Joe is actually in charge. Meaning, there are plenty of holdover people in DC’s bureaucracies from prior administrations who would guide things away from such craziness … but who knows.

Suckers born every minute, 😂

And Biden’s weaknesses are out there for everyone to see, not just us, and so what are his adversaries considering? I suppose they are feeling pretty good about the prospect of a Republican victory in 2024, meaning stepping back from supporting Ukraine, stepping back from war and stepping towards negotiations and settling differences so the world…[Read more]

You may not have meant to advance that argument, but effectively, you are saying “the reality is we would have to make a choice between Joe Biden or Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders, and in that case, I would take Bernie over those two.” When you vote for a Democrat or a Republican, you are voting to put the interests of oligarchs above your…[Read more]

He’s a sad, stereotypical example of the man living in a glass house, casting stones at others. I used to think that the worst kind of people in politics were people like Ann Coulter, but in hindsight, she never lied about how she felt about current events – she ‘went there’. Bernie lied to all of his supporters. That’s even worse, IMO, than…[Read more]

We need more emojis, please.

Why are they penalizing white people whose ancestors were not involved in slavery? Because of their race.

Yeah, all kinds of WTF about this.

So there will be inherent limitations as to what ChatGPT can do.

Same applies to nearly all of Europe’s former colonial territories. In fact, all you get in response is a meek smile, and “well, yes, I suppose so.”

The white elephant in the room where that discussion is held, however, is that Europe – as a place where humanity lives together peacefully – has been dead since the First World War. Obviously, not…[Read more]

And don’t think for one minute that those who have benefitted from this, that they would consider seriously giving away that wealth and status.

It’s a familiar, well-worn path to fabulous wealth and power. As examples, look at any of the robber barons of the 19th, 20th or 21st Centuries.

Commit outrageous acts, steal, pillage … and then…[Read more]

that she was no real progressive, that she’s too comfortable with the way things are to support any real change. That doesn’t mean she’s a horrible person or anything, but it does mean you can’t look to her for guidance on, for example, how to get Mediare 4 All, or $25/hour minimum wage or whatever.

lol

whoever is the source for the story. But if you apply this rule only when the story contradicts your pre-existing beliefs and never when the story confirms them, then you look complacent and even lazy.

Literally. You know that, right?

So the idea that the Revolutionary Blackout Network channel needs to tailor its message so that it makes strategic sense to a white American lawyer … LOL! Can’t make this stuff up… You manage to crack so many jokes, without even trying. Thank you.

I don’t particularly want Williamson as president, but she’d be better than Biden, so I’d vote for her (at this point) if she became the nominee.

However, let’s keep in mind that nearly everyone is susceptible to carrots/sticks (bribery/extortion), and thus, people shouldn’t get caught up in a cult of personality favoring a single individual over…[Read more]
