@charles It will happen eventually, but not in the next few years. That’s just very unlikely. I admit a lifetime of hearing cries of “The currency is doomed because of Whatever!” and never seeing it happen colors my opinion.

I really don’t care, just as I don’t care whether Russia tried to influence the election. Nothing any of these people did comes close to how our oligarchy influenced the election with their campaign contributions and ads.

@yanath Oh, stop moralizing at me, please. I wasn’t defending the petrodollar, for Freya’s sake. I was just describing the likelihood of its continued existence for the next few years.

@voltairine Jesus H. Christ on a Harley. Of course Putin wants the dollar to stop being the world’s number one trading currency. I thought that was obvious Russian national interests at work there, that’s all. Effective Russian leaders are usually pretty predictable when it comes to that, and Putin is no exception.

And of course Putin doesn’t…[Read more]

Barack Obama, thy legacy is the porcine peacock currently ensconced in what was once your bedroom. Your deceit and your corruption are what gave a brash flim-flam man a chance of being elected President, because your legacy is one of weakness and betrayal. On the bright side, history will consider you the most skilled of the Vichy Democrats, even…[Read more]

No okra! I appreciate properly seasoned and cooked okra in a good old Southern gumbo, and that looks like something related to Louisiana Cajun gumbo.

That’s a good story! I’ll have to tell my wife to be glad her English ancestors settled in Connecticut in the 1630s, instead of Massachusetts. They were Calvinists, like the Puritans, but unlike them they quickly turned into Congregationalists. Stubborn, slow to anger, quick to innovate, implacable in war.  IOW, Yankees.

Also more tolerant of…[Read more]

Dear President Obama,

You failed us. Now please STFU and get the hell out of our way.

Sincerely,

Progressives who voted for you in 2008

No fucking shit. We thought we were voting for FDR, and got Herbert Hoover.

@polecathollerer

+1000 Indeed, it’s pathetically obvious. It’s also not working, which is humorous.

I think it safe to say Kamala is not nearly as wonderful as she thinks she is. She doesn’t strike me as someone I would want to work for, in any capacity.

Pornographic novel?

He is indeed. Sent him $25 a few weeks ago, I did.

@mrmickeysmom I’d rather bet on the Cleveland Browns making the playoffs this year than take that bet, and they’d practically have to win out for that to happen.

We’ll be hearing nothing from Republicans for months but “I know you are but what am I?” and “What about (insert Corruptocrat here)?” Ugh. Oh, and thanks for the scary thought of Hillary…[Read more]

@charles I don’t see that Bernie has anything to worry about. His life is an open book. There really is no there there. If there was, Hillary would have found it a few years ago. And what the Bidens did should be illegal.

I completely agree with you that what Trump did regarding this Ukraine fiasco was flagrantly illegal and unconstitutional and…[Read more]

Patrick has been a running dog lackey of the kleptocratic regime for many years. He went easy on Texaco when he was in Obama’s Dept. of Justice and was rewarded with a VP position by Texaco. He was a spokesman for Ameriquest, which practiced predatory mortgage loans and drove at least tens of thousands of people, many of them black, from their…[Read more]

Well, if they get this through, Governor Dewine will sign it. These fanatics are hoping the Supreme Court will uphold the ban and completely overturn Roe v. Wade. 

It may not get through the legislature, though. Democrats picked up several seats in 2018, and Republicans know there will be a ballot initiative to repeal the measure lickety-split…[Read more]

If the United States adopts a progressive foreign and financial policy that is not designed to exploit, that would dash Putin’s hopes. For now, the dollar is going to be the #1 reserve currency so long as it is also the petrodollar. That certainly won’t change under the administration of Herr Trump.

OK. I read the article. This is what I see.

Ben Crump, who was the lawyer for Trayvon Martin’s family, has a chance to be a best-selling author, yessirree. He throws in one of the most emotionally provocative words in race relations to attract more attention, and succeeds brilliantly.

Well, if we white folk tried to do a genocide on black…[Read more]
