Ohio Barbarian

You have nothing to apologize for @ohiobarbarian. Bernie did betray his backers by sucking up to the worst bastard the democrats could have foisted on the public. If people, including on these pages, can’t deal with this reality, it’s on them. Looks lie Jimmy Dore was correct all along.

@ohiobarbarian There are numbers of cases where the damage is definite and as @punxsutawny mentions below, the damage to arteries and lungs is permanent. There is even documented stats for kidney damage coming from this shit. The likelihood of a particular person having noticeable damage is unknown, but it’s there.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian

They stay that way. Ask any soldier that lost a lung in WWI. You don’t regrow them, same with heart damage. But I will agree that we don’t know that much yet and I’m likely to view things on the pessimistic side.

Is Jackpine Radicals now open to membership for mindless McCarthyites aligned with the corrupt, corporate, Democratic Party Establishment?

Can @ohiobarbarian, or any other Moderator, enlighten us?

I’d think you were crazy if you weren’t at least a little scared.  Fear is nothing to be ashamed of – it is whether we act in spite of it.  You do – as far as i am concerned, that is more than enough courage.

I have a brain that gives me terrible anxiety attacks – and in the last ten years it has affected my body as well.  Some ti…[Read more]

@pam2 , but now that I think of it, you and @ohiobarbarian were guessing a real contender.

They have millions of square miles of uncharted land and there is no telling what is on it…

@ohiobarbarian

They like us, when they kill off something they do it right.

Just another reminder of how progressives will be treated by this extreme right wing democrat Biden and his administration. I’m starting to think maybe @ohiobarbarian is right about 4 more years of Trump being better than 8 years of Biden/Bush/Cheney.

projected death toll of school children at 0.02%.  Which doesn’t seem like a large amount (if it isn’t your child, a relative’s child, or someone you or your child knows).

But the reality is that  50.8 million children were expected to attend public school in 2019. So let’s assume 48 million children attend in 2021. That 0.02% comes to 960,000 d…[Read more]

..when they stomped on Bernie.They blocked our last chance at achieving peaceable change.

@ohiobarbarian,those guards and guns remind me so much of the French nobility counting on their private armies to protect them.Or the Czar’s courtiers,or the Soviet officials.

They never,ever think it’ll happen.

@ohiobarbarian

What will they do then?  Call on the military that isn’t here?  Bring them home to contain the situation?  Start telling cops and national guard to “shoot the rioters”?

@ohiobarbarian

Hi ob,

Thanks for the first hand report and kudos for the effort.  It seems Nick and company have yet to learn the first rule of disruption: don’t advertise your intentions.  One suspects protestors will be met with similar responses throughout the day.

The First Amendment gives Americans the right to assemble into a peaceful and well disciplined Protest.

The Second Amendment gives those well disciplined, assembled Americans, the right to protect themselves through a well regulated militia that is armed.

both of you @ohiobarbarian and @mrmickeysmom

I can’t even find where the site is choking, much less try to fix it at this point.

I have a magic weapon for finding chokeholds, but when the site goes into a time out, it can’t record what went wrong. It requires further thought, this one does.

I want the hired gun to look at it but he’s booked…[Read more]

Easy mistake to make, @ohiobarbarian, any statue of Trump is going to take a lot of kindling.

@kelly Bingo!! I’m not a fan of Jimmy Dore’s anger at Bernie for being a ‘stalking horse’… This was a demonstration as @ohiobarbarian has said above.

@ohiobarbarian

Hi ob,

Yep – understand that most have neither the means nor the will to leave.  That is why historian Morris Berman always mentions the “Monastic Option”.  In short, one frames one’s life in such a way that surviving American Culture and Politics does not unnecessarily drive one to depression and nihilism.  Berman is very cl…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian

Didn’t know you were such a Turtle fan.

What good things do you believe McConnell has done for We the People?

As for Bernie not calling out McConnell, it appears that, once again, you are ignoring the facts, in defense of your apparent Republican heroes. Or do you think Bernie calling out McConnell on the Senate Floor, and…[Read more]

to believe that a system can render a greater value than what went into it. It’s magical thinking, plain and simple, and it is THE most influential doctrine in the formulation of America’s collective worldview. Nothing else distorts the nature of the world and the universe like it; not even fundamentalist religion, in my opinion.
