@ohiobarbarian As I just wrote on a following post, it’s time to stop elder abuse.

I think it’s The Hoover Institute acting that way, @ohiobarbarian

Also, as long as I am thinking about pots calling kettles black – I sincerely doubt the Democratic Party is unhappy with Citizens United in any way, shape, or form.  The money flowing in from corporations is, IMO, the sound of angelic choirs singing to the Democratic Party, and I sincerely doubt they would try to get rid of it, just as I doubt…[Read more]

You argue that “Trump is not under Putin’s control.”  I agree that outright control would be too strong an assertion.  Whether Trump’s conduct has, overall, been beneficial to Russia is a different question.  I think the answer is Yes — but I also think that that’s a deflection.  It’s not the main point of the inquiry under…[Read more]

that thankfully, I don’t seem to have any French.

However, I thought maybe there might be a group of Frenchies on JPR so I didn’t @ohiobarbarian

So what the fuck did you do this time @ohiobarbarian ??????

… You have to hear her open her mouth on her record and I hope we DO hear it. I did just about everything I could before this point, and I don’t plan on holding my breath to see how she would be vetting or “drilled”. @ohiobarbarian

Religion does run close to cult status, but what’s the problem with admitting that? It’s all based on a particular…[Read more]

Good point, @ohiobarbarian.

Of course, back then, the Loyalists were very much reliant on First Nations warriors (much less so than on the French) to beat back the traitors. From what I’ve heard lately, any similar cooperation would require some pretty serious concessions from the Canadian government. But our current government is just as…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian Once can play that blame game all the way back to at least Kennedy’s assassination. ‘If JFK hadn’t been assassinated….’ and more directly to Reagan/Bush 1980. All set up the conditions we see today.

The only one truly and directly responsible for Trump is Hillary. And that horse has been beaten to a bloody pulp.

@ohiobarbarian   Whataboutism. The fact is these governments ARE pro-trump. Now. And the atrocities in Bolivia are on Trump and his buddies running each and every one of the Government’s departments and organizations. Because Trump is in power. And Let me know the date when Obama tried to pull a coup to replace Morales. Or Moreno in Venezuela.…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian I should correct my statement to “Now it’s just a propaganda wing of the one party.”

…for not producing any polling links that support his claims……..lol

I have never seen my dad as wasted as he got that night.  Got dropped off at home roaring drunk.  Came in and kept repeating in a shout “How did this happen?!?”  Grabbed my shirt front like he was either going to kick my ass or fall on me.  “David, how the fuck did this happen?”

Didn’t really know what to say, so I just sort of…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian  I’m not a boomer male but I like Bonanza and a few of the others.

@ohiobarbarian and @hasslecat both got it

Sorry @nvwino, wrong order.

@ohiobarbarian

Maybe I can stand on my porch and watch it go by.  LD 0.1 is pretty damn close.

@ohiobarbarian

You also don’t attach much importance to Citizens United and related 5-4 decisions, so apparently you think that campaign finance restrictions are also worthless.

I’m just curious – what kind of Supreme Court Justice would meet with your approval? Do you think that President Bernie Sanders would have appointed Justices who woul…[Read more]

@ohiobarbarian

The Democrats’ position is that the seat should be filled by whoever wins this November. That will be either Bidcn or Trump. Howie Hawkins will not win, and the seat will not be kept vacant for four years so that President Nina Turner can fill it after being elected on the People’s Party ticket in 2024.

IIRC, you’ve elsew…[Read more]

Hi ob,

In a very real since, all Americans have become nothing more than walking targets. Given how “trigger happy” our so-called law enforcement officers have become or have been trained to be, I limit all public excursions. These days, one never knows when one might cross paths with a “trigger happy” LEO.
