Friday Squawking Points
[Editor's Note: We have a very special (and abbreviated) column today, for reasons that should become obvious. Regular Friday Talking Points columns will resume next Friday. Have a great day, everyone!]
You'll have to forgive our brevity this week, but we have been invited to a cocaine-fuelled sex orgy by Washington persons we cannot name at the moment, so we've got to go get ready a little early this week.
Ahem.
Madison Cawthorn caused quite a stir among his fellow Republicans after telling an interviewer he had been invited to orgies by his fellow Republican politicians, and furthermore that he'd witnessed them doing "key bumps of cocaine" right in front of him. He got pushback from his peers because he so obviously broke the Republican Golden Rule -- you can say the craziest possible things about Democrats, but never about fellow Republicans!
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy gave Cawthorn a stern talking-to, after which he emerged and announced he had in his hands a list of all the Republicans who had been inviting Cawthorn to sex parties and another one of those blatantly snorting coke in the Capitol, and that he would be making the list available to reporters soon, after he had had a chance to talk to each of them and offer them the option of just suddenly resigning.
Cawthorn, for his part, sheepishly announced that he had only actually attended "sixteen or seventeen" of these orgies, had never actually seen any Republicans doing lines off anyone's naked posterior, and that the whole thing was really "no big deal, since everyone in America does stuff like this, right?"
Donald Trump immediately weighed in on his new social media network Truth Social, with only the second message he's posted: "I don't know why anyone has a problem with Sex Parties, many people say you can meet very Interesting Girls at these parties -- girls who are, like, 8s or 9s, sometime even 10s -- and that only the best-looking Republicans get invited, never any radical left Democrats or anything, so what's the big deal? And cocaine should have been legalized long ago, everyone knows it's just a fun thing to do. Hey, did I mention I got a hole-in-one the other day? Everyone's talking about it!"
Trump also took the time to respond to the shocking news that there was a gap of over seven hours in the White House call logs for January 6th, saying: "I took a big nap during that time, how could I have been on the phone with anyone? Also, the toilets in the White House were lame -- it takes like 10 or 15 flushes to get rid of a huge wad of paper." These two comments seemed to be connected in his mind, for some reason.
Trump was also in the news for denouncing Biden's ad-libbed call for Vladimir Putin not to "remain in power," which Trump called "a really stupid, stupid thing to say." Trump continued: "Putin is a strong leader and knows what to do with power, unlike Sleepy Joe. Putin should be the one helping me with a regime change right here in America. In fact, if Putin does do me this favor, I promise I would appoint him to be my Secretary of Defense." This rather astonishing statement was apparently handled on social media in some strange way, because every Republican who was asked to comment on it either "hadn't seen it" or "hadn't heard about it." The only one willing to comment was Marjorie Taylor Greene, who wholeheartedly backed Trump up: "That would work for me -- we need to run the military with an iron grip, they've been taken over by the radical woke lefties."
Soon afterwards, the Republican National Committee announced that they had formed a strategic partnership with the Kremlin, so they could both be assured they were singing from the same songbook with their talking points. "It gets confusing the way things have been going," a spokesperson for the committee said, "what with Hannity saying something and the Kremlin using it for propaganda, and then the Kremlin coming up with something that GOP members of Congress parrot -- we decided that what we needed was better coordination, that's all."
Democrats, of course, denounced both Trump's comments and the GOP's announcement as "nothing short of treason," and "selling out American democracy to the Russians." Republicans responded: "What's treasonous is high gas prices -- and we aim to lower them by removing all those pesky sanctions on Putin and the Russians, as soon as we take power after the midterms. Because you know who profits from all those sanctions? That's right -- Hunter Biden. His laptop proves it!"
There was no comment from the Justice Department on any of these accusations of treason, because it all erupted during Merrick Garland's naptime.
President Biden this week signed a landmark anti-lynching law, but while he had invited prominent Republicans to the signing ceremony, none of them showed up. Ted Cruz later released a statement: "Republicans were fine with passing an anti-lynching law, but the Democrats refused to even consider our amendment to it, which would have allowed, under certain circumstances, the vice president to be lynched. We thought it was a prudent exemption to the law, because you just never know when a mob is going to demand the right to hang Mike Pence. Which is all about freedom, of course." Cruz then tried to enter his office, which was almost completely blocked by all the authors of teen self-help books who were desperately trying to convince Cruz to publicly denounce their books -- since this is now the fastest way to guarantee a place atop the bestseller lists.
Senator Mike Braun, when asked, responded that the anti-lynching bill was acceptable but he would have added his own amendment to overturn Loving v. Virginia, because "who gets married to whom is really a matter for the states to decide." Later, we saw Will Smith roaming the corridors of the Capitol, looking for Braun so he could "offer the senator the benefit of his wisdom on whether interracial marriage should be legal." Smith seemed rather tense, but there's no word yet on whether he had made contact with Braun in any way.
Over in the House, 193 Republicans voted against making insulin only cost $35 a month, because, as Kevin McCarthy put it, "Conservatives believe everyone should pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and if one of those bootstraps happens to be lining the pockets of drug makers or dying, well, that's just tough beans. Making prescription drugs affordable is nothing short of socialism, plain and simple! And who wants that?"
President Biden announced the biggest release of oil from America's strategic reserves, which will continue daily for the next six months, in an effort to lower gas prices. The truckers' convoy outside of Washington responded by packing up and leaving town. They weren't impressed by Biden's actions, but rather (as one trucker put it): "We're fed up with ninety percent of the cars on the Beltway being driven by Antifa, and we're sick of getting flipped off 15 or 20 times per mile. So we're heading back out on the open road, where hopefully we'll be surrounded by drivers that cheer us on and wave to us like real Americans should." When asked how long the convoy would be aimlessly driving around the freeways of America, he answered: "Until we stop getting all those donations that allow us to fill up our tanks and not do our jobs -- I've been pleasantly amazed at the gullibility of all those people sending money to us, and I hope it continues forever!"
Speaking of fringe views, Ginni Thomas tweeted out her thoughts for what Republicans should run on in the midterms: "Republicans need not only to support raising taxes on over half of Americans and letting Medicare and Social Security die on the vine, but we should make it a priority to pass national legislation which will once and for all ban the use of litter boxes in K-12 schools, because accepting schoolchildren's contention that they identify as cats is just wrong!!! This should be our highest priority after the midterms!"
And for our final item of the week, the Capitol Police got a celebrity visit this week, from none other than U2's Bono. Bono had written a limerick for the occasion, but to the relief of all he found he had left it behind in his hotel room.
[Poisson d'Avril, y'all! Note: There is only one completely true paragraph in this entire article, and (sadly) it was the one about what Madison Cawthorn said, right up at the beginning. There are other factual launching points sprinkled throughout the rest of it (Bono did indeed visit the Capitol Police, for instance), but the scary thing should be how plausible a lot of this stuff sounds. As American politics gets weirder by the day it becomes harder and harder to write satire -- which is the real lesson of today's column. Hope everyone had a great day today and we'll see you all back here next week as regular Friday columns return.]

what about schoolchildren who identify as dogs? that is such a racist stance!

Well, it WAS a stupid thing to say, considering peace talks are ongoing to end this ridiculously unnecessary war. Ahem.
But, the Biden administration does not seem as though it it wishes this war to end. Because, it is doing everything in its power to keep the war going. I wonder why that is ...
... including giving bad advice to Ukraine.
Hey Joshua, I thought you were on a plane ...

Haha, you bastard!
April Fools Day right backatcha! Don't worry about me. I only blew a half an hour on my smartphone composing a thoughtful summary of the risks.
Dunno, Comrade. I've always been more into celebrating May Day, da?
Well, I'll be playing some tunes Sunday Night, anyways, in case anyone is interested ... tunes that have never seen the light of day around here or been heard in these parts!
but the scary thing should be how plausible a lot of this stuff sounds. As American politics gets weirder by the day it becomes harder and harder to write satire -- which is the real lesson of today's column.
Leading with Madison Cawthorn hooked me right in and unfortunately it took me longer than I care to specify to figure out what you're doing here. *smh*
Not good. Very not good...
For both Murica and Moi.

What about schoolchildren who identify as dogs? that is such a racist stance!
I know, right?
SO
I did a little research and I found that cat kids and dog kids can enrich the pedophile experience and actually has a small, deeply disturbed following. Ahem.
Oh, there will be Bono Sunday Night! Heh.
[6]
What?
You must mean songs not recorded by Canadians, right?
;D
[1]
Oh, and I'm thinking we reallu shouldn't be surprised at Republican racism anymore, no?
reallu?
[11],
You will have to come and play some of your own favourites to find out! :)
You must mean songs not recorded by Canadians, right?
You think I've played them all in the short history of the CW Sunday Night Music Festival and Dance Party, eh?
[15]
Yeppers. Except that there's way too much trash rock n' roll devil worship talent in Canadia for me to think that this only the start of a bigger process.
You just might see me Sunday night. Especially if I get to lighten up the mood by posting my reply to Liz'splaining Ukraine.
It'll be worth the wait, like a fine, 12-year Single Malt Scotch is worth the wait -- woot!
G2G...my cannabis is calling me
:D
Footage showed two helicopters lighting up a Rooskie oil depot in Belgorod (pop. 400,000.) Both sides fly the chopper model seen in the video. Russia is blaming it on Ukrainians, who are mum.
Beau thinks the Good Guys may have indeed done the deed. He thinks it's likely a good move because,
(1) it's a legitimate military target whose neutralization will make a difference.
(2) the attackers refrained from targeting Russian civilians as payback, avoiding a costly info-war mistake.
(3) it shows the general population as well as leadership that war is hell, and they're all fair game.
(4) it can't but help Ukraine’s already sky high morale.
JL
just so everyone knows, tonight i'm taking leave from my job and boarding a flight for taiwan. My wife and i will be teaching english specifically to those families who may have to emigrate to the US as political refugees if and when China invades. i'm very excited though, as my sons will have a chance to learn mandarin.
have a great day!
JL
Oh hahaha Ya got me...
Ya got me good.. :D
MC,
Afghanistan has an estimated 1.4 million tons of rare earths or ten times Chinese annual production.
Yes, that Afghanistan.
Yea.. And Biden JUST handed over Afghanistan to China.. :^/
MC,
Michale, I've no idea why you post so much alternative right-wing universe stuff down here.
Correction.. I post FACTS and REALITY stuff down here..
And the reason I do it should be readily obvious..
You posted this and you say Bashi's hysterical? Do you really believe this statement?
You Democrats tried to tell people that the racist CRT/Equity crap wasn't being taught in schools either..
THAT turned out to be false as proven by the FACTS..
So yea, I wouldn't put it past Democrats to want to groom and indoctrinate 4, 5 and 6 yr olds..
And yes.. I believe the statement that Bash is extremely hysterical..
I have NO IDEA why Bash wants to give Democrats the permission to groom and sexually exploit 4 5 and 6 yr olds.. He refuses to answer the question..
Russ,
NO!!! YOU, ALONE, ARE TALKING ABOUT FIVE YEAR OLDS! Has there been a single kindergarten teacher in Florida accused of teaching “gender mutations and such” as part of their lesson plans?
If it's your argument that it would NEVER happen then you shouldn't have ANY problem with the law??
QED...
Why are you so hysterical about taking down a law that would prevent something you claim has never happened and WILL never happen??
Your reactions are completely opposite to your own words...
"Let's just brass some tacks here."
-Metatron, SUPERNATURAL
Do you think that teachers should teach lesson plans to 4 5 and 6 yr olds that discusses sexual activity, sexual preferences or gender mutations??
It's a simple yes or no question..
I am betting you you can't answer it with a simple yes or no...
JL,
what about schoolchildren who identify as dogs? that is such a racist stance!
Not factually accurate.. Dog is not a race, it's a species...
Ergo, it's species-ist...
But in your attempt to make a joke (good one by the way :D) you hit on the EXACT issue here..
I think we would ALL agree that a school child who identifies as a "dog" has some deep psychological issues...
Just as a boy who identifies as a girl ALSO has some deep psychological issues as well..
Thanx JL.. For putting it all out in the open.. :D
Liz,
But, the Biden administration does not seem as though it it wishes this war to end. Because, it is doing everything in its power to keep the war going. I wonder why that is ...
I tell ya Liz, it's not Biden.. It's Biden's handlers..
OF COURSE they are trying to prolong the war.. They need to line things up to get the most BANG FOR THE BUCK (IE best possible press) for the upcoming mid terms...
Biden's handlers are wanting to stretch this out til Jun or Jul at the earliest.. Better if Aug or Sep...
By the way, Russ.. Did you actually READ the law??
Does it say ANYWHERE in the law that a child cannot seek counseling on gender issues??
So, right of the bat, you DON"T SAY GAY'ers are out yer frakin' minds!!!
But hay.. Don't take MY word for it..
Let's listen to what an actual GAY Disney employee has to say...
OK.. So, we have established.. Nothing in the law says ANYTHING about preventing a 4 5 or 6 yr old from talking to a teacher or counselor about gender issues..
NOTHING...
We have also established that GROOMING 4 5 or 6 yr olds for sexual activity with sexual or gender discussions is morally abhorrent and repugnant...
So, the ONLY people who do not support the FL Parental Rights Law are those who would wish to GROOM 4 5 or 6 yr olds for sexual activity with sexual or gender discussions or make such actions possible for other Democrats to accomplish...
OK.. There ya'all have it...
The FACTS and the REALITY....
What's the ONE BIGGEST FACT I am always leveling at Democrats...
Their hypocrisy...
Will Smith's actions and the REACTIONS of the crowd of Hollywood elitists is a PERFECT example of the Democrat/Left Wing hypocrisy that I am always pointing out....
Sure, GOP'ers and Right Wingers have their share of hypocrisy, no doubt about it..
But they are amateurs compared to Democrats and Left Wingers.. With Democrats, hypocrisy is baked it..
Hypocrisy is not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature...
The entire blame for this whole Will Smith can be laid at the feet of... Jada Pinkett Smith...
According to sources, Will Smith was initially laughing and applauding Chris Rock's joke..
Pinky got pissed, whispered something to Will Smith and the next thing you know, Will Smith is up out of his seat and goes and smacks Rock..
It's apparently obvious who wears the pants in the Smith household, eh?? :D
They are scientologists as well, so ya'all KNOW they have a few screws loose to begin with..
More good things that President Trump did that no one here will give him credit for...
This probably should have been mentioned in yesterday's RARE EARTH commentary..
But those that suffer from PTDS (President Trump Derangement Syndrome) have a blind spot...
ANYTHING good that President Trump does is ignored..
:^/
It's funny to hear ya'all Democrats..
The Party of Drug Legalization...
Complaining about the GOP's alleged drug parties.. :^/
Hypocrisy... It's not a bug in Democrat programming.. It's a feature..
Disney made a REALLY big mistake when they went WOKE..
Woke Disney: 10 families who are swearing off Disney due to its left-leaning politics
One Tennessee dad said of Disney, 'I think they're going to lose on this wokeness gamble'
https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/woke-disney-7-families-disney-left-leaning-politics
First, Democrats spit on Dr Martin Luther King..
Now Disney is spitting on the wisdom of Walt Disney...
When does it end??

Girl has to wear a pin to know if she is female or not.. :^/

Biden administration border plan poses midterm danger for Democrats
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-administration-border-plan-poses-midterm-danger-for-democrats/ar-AAVJzZP?ocid=uxbndlbing
So, Biden is going to lift Southern Border restrictions approx 6 months before the Mid Term Elections...
WTF!!????
Is Biden TRYING to get Democrats decimated and demolished in November!!???
Knock yerself out, Biden...
Far be it from me to interrupt you when you are totally destroying your Party!! :D
MtnCaddy,
You just might see me Sunday night. Especially if I get to lighten up the mood by posting my reply to Liz'splaining Ukraine.
Don't think about casuing any trouble.
Don't think about casuing any trouble.
Yea!!! That's MY job!!! :D
I reallu hate it when you start casuing trouble.
And, that goes quadurple fro Sunday Nights.
Ahem.
I got some news for you, Michale.
Biden can't be handled. I know. I've been there. Too many times I hate to admit. :)
You know who else knows that? Everyone around him!
It's one of the things I really love (and hate) about him, ya know.
Biden can't be handled. I know. I've been there. Too many times I hate to admit. :)
Sure he can..
And he is..
He admits it practically every time he has a press conference...
"OK, so I am only allowed to call on certain people."
"I can't answer that.. My people won't let me.."
"I would love to see how things are on the ground in Ukraine. But I have been told I am not allowed to go there.."
The facts are overwhelming and conclusive..
Biden is NOT in control any more..
MtnCaddy,
You just might see me Sunday night. Especially if I get to lighten up the mood by posting my reply to Liz'splaining Ukraine.
Ah, Sunday Nights need no lightening up, my friend. They are already infused with an incredible lightness of being. It's kinda the point of the evening, ya know.
Don't cause any trouble!
Biden has never been in control of any "handlers". The mere thought of that makes me laugh out loud.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks, apparently. Heh.
But, again, one of the things I've always loved about Biden - he is beholden to no one, no handlers, NOBODY ... for good or ill.
And, one more thing, Michale, before I go to work ...
Maybe that's what Judge Jackson Brown needs.
Can you at least get her freakin' name right!? Show a modicum of respect, in other words. Geesh.
If you want Jackson Brown(e) so much, see ya Sunday Night!
Can you at least get her freakin' name right!? Show a modicum of respect, in other words. Geesh.
Exactly...
I don't feel any judge who gives light sentences to child pornographers deserves ANY respect..
Modicum or otherwise..
You so easily make blanket statement about things you know very, very little about.
You so easily make blanket statement about things you know very, very little about.
Somethings in life don't require a deep dive into the background. They are simply universally BAD and WRONG..
Lenient sentences for those who distribute child pornography is one of those things..
And I can prove it to you..
Pretend Judge Jackson Brown was nominated by President Trump...
See!?? You agree with me now.. :D
It would have been fun to watch Michale try to explain how Deathocrats talking about sex with five year olds is bad while Trump talking about sex orgies with 8,9 and 10 years olds is okay. :D
Oh, that's easy..
The former is happening right now..
The latter never occurred except in the fever'ed imaginations of Trump/America haters..
The FACTS and the Reality...
The ONLY example of actual systemic/institutionalized racism in this country is Affirmative Action..
Of course, the biggest vestige of systemic/institutionalized racism in this country are well documented within the Democrat Party...
The facts outlined in the above article put lie to EVERY racism claim today's Democrats ever utter...
EVERY ONE OF THEM..
I dare ya'all to read the above article in it's entirety...
Damnation! 0500?

Yea.. And Biden JUST handed over Afghanistan to China.. :^/
No, Trump negotiated the deal and Biden kept our word. Yea or nay: would you rather we still be in Afghanistan? Perchance are you still mad at Truman for losing China to the Commies?
And the reason I [post long right-wing media excerpts] should be readily obvious...
Not obvious, because most likely not even C.R. Stucky bothers to plow through it. It's not why any of us are here, hello? So why are you wasting effort?
So yea, I wouldn't put it past Democrats to want to groom and indoctrinate 4, 5 and 6 yr olds...
Kind of sums up your whole philosophy, eh?
If it's your argument that it would NEVER happen then you shouldn't have ANY problem with the law??
Of course! But Shirley you agree that amending our Constitution to protect America from Sharia simply has to be our priority!
I think we would ALL agree that a school child voter who identifies as a "dog" Republican has some deep psychological intellectual issues...
Dude, don't blame me that one just wrote itself.
Biden's handlers are wanting to stretch this out til Jun or Jul at the earliest.. Better if Aug or Sep...
I've agreed with much of your Ukraine analysis so far.
But then you kinda go all Elizabeth Miller and suggest that the West can just snap it's fingers and Ukraine andRussia will lay down their arms. That's like saying China was our's to lose in 1949.
In number 30 you point out that Navarro saw this coming four years ago and that recently Washington decided to act.
Which Trump failed to do during the rest his term. So, no credit there in afraid.*smh*
I don't feel any judge who gives light sentences to child pornographers deserves ANY respect...
By your logic, every last crime should result in 20 years hard labor because that will eliminate crime, right?
No worries, I'm satisfied that your hostility has nothing whatsoever to do with the color of her skin, nosiree.
And as for you, Elizabeth Miller...
I'd like to see you cut back on this work obsession of yours. It's keeping you away from Weigantia and that is not acceptable.
So when you find yourself in that dark place just say no to work. After a while it gets easier, trust me.
No, Trump negotiated the deal and Biden kept our word.
Not factually accurate..
Biden took President Trump's deal and threw it in the toilet, supplanted BIDEN-wisdom for MILITARY wisdom and got 13 American soldiers killed..
Not obvious, because most likely not even C.R. Stucky bothers to plow through it. It's not why any of us are here, hello? So why are you wasting effort?
I bring FACTS to the fact-less...
But then you kinda go all Elizabeth Miller and suggest that the West can just snap it's fingers and Ukraine andRussia will lay down their arms.
Biden could have stopped this war before it started..
Tell me, MC... In your opinion, does Putin want to fight ALL of NATO??
Which Trump failed to do during the rest his term. So, no credit there in afraid.*smh*
Actually, President Trump WAS acting.. Following Navarro's plan..
But then Biden threw it all away when he threw away US Energy Independence..
By your logic, every last crime should result in 20 years hard labor because that will eliminate crime, right?
Just crimes that involve hurting or exploiting children..
Yea, I am funny that way.. Sue me :^/
What I don't get is how you Democrats can see otherwise??
What IS it about you Democrats and being lenient to child pornographers?? Hmmmm???
I'd like to see you cut back on this work obsession of yours. It's keeping you away from Weigantia and that is not acceptable.
So when you find yourself in that dark place just say no to work. After a while it gets easier, trust me.
Word.... :D
No worries, I'm satisfied that your hostility has nothing whatsoever to do with the color of her skin, nosiree.
Nothing I have said brings race into the discussion whatsoever..

Well goooooood morning, Florida Man!
Biden took President Trump's deal and threw it in the toilet, supplanted BIDEN-wisdom for MILITARY wisdom and got 13 American soldiers killed...
I think this is pure fantasy so kindly post a link to show me the way!
I bring FACTS to the fact-less...
Setting aside the problem with using FACTS and right-wing media in the same sentence because most likely not even C.R. Stucky bothers to plow through it they accomplish nothing besides wasting your time, Bro.
Biden could have stopped this war before it started..
Tell me, MC... In your opinion, does Putin want to fight ALL of NATO??
Okay, I'm composing my reply to Liz'splaing Ukraine so bear with me.
Of course Putin doesn't want to fight even a fraction of NATO. C'mon. effing Ukraine is holding its own against Russia.
Actually, President Trump WAS acting.. Following Navarro's plan..
But then Biden threw it all away when he threw away US Energy Independence..
Um, you said that only recently is America taking action on Navarro's warning. Which means that Trump didn't, hello?
Give me a link with the details of "throwing away" EI. Should be no problem, right?
What IS it about you Democrats and being lenient to child pornographers??
What IS it about you Republicans that want to unconstitutionally take power away from Judges to judge each individual case on it's particulars? As the Founding Fathers wanted.
If you believe Democrats favor leniency for child pornographers you must certainly also believe that Democrats hate America. If so, I fear you just might be neither teachable nor reachable, and I'll pray for you.
Nothing I have said brings race into the discussion whatsoever..
When yer a hammer, everything looks like a nail.. :^/
Your Affirmative action pick objections come to mind. And calling Biden a racist because he nominated a black woman to SCOTUS was especially whack. Hey, it's not news that racists put the "R" in Republican.
If I had a haaammer,
I'd hammer all day looong...
Oh Kick,where art thou?
Whoa-pa Gangnam Style, gotta cancel, Michale...
Satan reminds me that praying is definitely not in my job description.
MC,
I think this is pure fantasy so kindly post a link to show me the way!
I already had..
Four years ago, Peter Navarro, then economic adviser to US president Donald Trump, summoned me to the White House to discuss a report he had initiated with the un-catchy title “Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States”.
But since you can't be bothered to read the links, you get to plead ignorance. :D
Of course Putin doesn't want to fight even a fraction of NATO. C'mon. effing Ukraine is holding its own against Russia.
Then all Biden had to do was station US troops in Ukraine while Putin was massing along the borders..
Pooof... No Ukraine War...
But Biden's handlers didn't WANT to stop Putin..
Biden's handlers WANTED this war...
Um, you said that only recently is America taking action on Navarro's warning. Which means that Trump didn't, hello?
No.. I said Democrats said only recently.... As illustrated by the previous Weigantia commentary..
President Trump recognized this vulnerability long ago.. Which is why he hired Navarro..
Give me a link with the details of "throwing away" EI. Should be no problem, right?
America is no longer energy independent.. Biden goes hat in hand to Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, BEGGING them to pump more oil..
Do you really need LINKS to understand the facts???
Your Affirmative action pick objections come to mind. And calling Biden a racist because he nominated a black woman to SCOTUS was especially whack. Hey, it's not news that racists put the "R" in Republican.
Nothing but the facts.. Biden DID use a racist selection process.. This is well documented..
And if you concede that Affirmative Action is racist, then it's the DEMOCRATS who are racist for supporting affirmative action..
So, the ONLY racism here is on the part of the Democrats..
*I* am completely color blind when it comes to race..

Completely unsurprising that it does under Democrat governance...
Do you really need LINKS to understand the facts???
Stop it -- you're killing me!
Yes, I need links to understand your alternative facts, duh. Back your play, you know, like everyone else besides Fredo.
Or don't, whatever #SSDD
Your voice, your choice. Up to 6 weeks, of course.
Oh, if other Weigantians have given you permission to decide when they've conceded, good for you (I must have missed it.)
As for Moi, unless you see me post words including concede, any concession is imaginary. Er, alternative facts and such. We're all grownups here.
So, you need LINKS to show that Biden has normalized relations with Venezuela in a bid to get more oil..
And you need LINKS to show that Biden has begged Saudi Arabia to pump more oil..
I just want to be clear on the ignorance that you are admitting to...
So, concede your ignorance and I'll be happy to enlighten you.. :D
It's what I do here.. Enlighten people.. :D

President Trump would be in the Oval Office and Ukraine would be it's beautiful pristine, albeit corrupt and racist, self...

America is no longer energy independent.. Biden goes hat in hand to Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, BEGGING them to pump more oil..
Big Oil is refusing to drill on some 9,000 public lands permits because scarcity increases profits. Good ole capitalism,, high?
Even if we produced half the world's oil -- enough for all domestic along with some foreign demand we still wouldn't be energy independent because resource scarcity anywhere in the world drives prices up everywhere in the world.
SO DO YOU think BigOil is going to give Americans a price break instead of getting full price?
Good luck with that.
[70]
Oh, I did miss one.
Then all Biden had to do was station US troops in Ukraine while Putin was massing along the borders..
Pooof... No Ukraine War...
In your right-wing universe could Biden have stationed troops in Ukraine? Really? That's politically not possible in our universe, just saying.
[69]
... and several hundreds more...
Oh, if other Weigantians have given you permission to decide when they've conceded, good for you (I must have missed it.)
As for Moi, unless you see me post words including concede, any concession is imaginary. Er, alternative facts and such. We're all grownups here.
US Space Program is dead...
Dam, I know you are trying to throw everything at Biden and desperately hope something sticks but this one is just pathetic. Russia is all bluster at this point. They leave the ISS, it's their space program that is dead, not the USA. We have already contracted numerous resupply missions to the ISS from SpaceX and Northrop Grumman and the SLS is getting close to a first launch. SpaceX is working on Starship and we are developing a robust private space industry. Even the ESA is looking to fast tracking development Ariane 6 or Vega-C so they are not dependent on Soyuz. Russia leaves and they become the world's first former space power...
Oh, in case Hunter Biden ends up being more than simply mindless HBDS (Hunter Biden Derangement Syndrome) I'll be happy to see him held to account. He tried to be more discreet than Javanka were (a low bar) but it's obvious that he traded on his family name. Like campaign contributions it's legal bribery, no?
JUST AS I'm sure you'll be happy to see Trump held to account, should the need arise.
Onward, Christian soldiers!

Dunno, Bashi. I'm starting to wonder if #FloridaMan is actually trying to persuade. This constant dancing around isn't reaching me, ya know?
In your right-wing universe could Biden have stationed troops in Ukraine? Really? That's politically not possible in our universe, just saying.
Any links to support your claim??
Biden could have easily put US "Advisors" into Ukraine..
And, since you ADMIT that Putin wouldn't want to fight NATO, then Biden COULD have stopped this war before it even began...
He tried to be more discreet than Javanka were (a low bar) but it's obvious that he traded on his family name.
I accept your concession.. :D
Bash,
Russia is all bluster at this point.
Funny.. That's what MC said about Russia before Ukraine.. :D
You people don't have a huge lot of credibility here, eh? :D
Dunno, Bashi. I'm starting to wonder if #FloridaMan is actually trying to persuade. This constant dancing around isn't reaching me, ya know?
Of course it isn't..
You have already conceded that you don't read the facts... SO....
There is nothing much more sad of ignorance than WILLFUL ignorance..
You have just admitted that you are WILLFULLY ignorant..
I accept your concession.. :D
Peanuts! Get your peanuts! Tasty peanuts! You over there want some peanuts?
Big Oil is refusing to drill on some 9,000 public lands permits because scarcity increases profits. Good ole capitalism,, high?
Because the Biden administration has made developing those permits economically too expensive to use..
It's like when you win one of those "free cruises"...
It's a FREE CRUISE.. But you have to pay taxes and licensing and transportation and a whole plethora of other costs to GET your "free cruise"...
So it is with those 9,000 "permits" that are available.. Yes, the permits are "available".. But Biden has made them WAY to expensive to be economically feasible..
Yer not very good with this FACTS thing are you?? :^/
Peanuts! Get your peanuts! Tasty peanuts! You over there want some peanuts?
Once again.. I accept your concession.. :D
#FloridaMan demonstrates a veritable catalog of dance moves:
Whataboutism
Changing the subject
Shamelessness (it's been a GQP thing since Eisenhower)
Deflection
Faux outrage to distract
Name calling when unable to defend his position
Never admitting any error, no matter how egregious/obvious
I'm leaning towards going back to automatically scrolling through both #Florida Man and #Fredo because life's too short blah blah blah.
Once again.. I accept your concession.. :D
I get that but you need to specify peanuts, beer or a hotdog. Hey, why not all three!
I mean, seriously, MC..
Don't you think it's a tad ridiculous not to mention intellectually dishonest that you DEMAND "links" to prove my claims, but then concede that you refuse to read my links..
It's obvious, you don't WANT to know the facts.. You prefer to wallow in ignorance...
[81]
Your comments aren't facts, they're your opinions. Post a link that supports your point (like every non troll here) or just run your mouth. Whatever you like, it's not important.

I don't need links to prove it to myself.. *I* already know it's factually accurate..

Willful ignorance.. :D
I get it MC.. Some people can only make it through life if they ignore the facts and ignore reality..
They turn to drugs and such... I saw soo much of that when I was a cop..
So I understand.. I really do..
Bash,
A true legend in your own mind!
Hay, you were the one who claimed Russia was bluster..
I showed ya'all ALWAYS say that..
And ya'all are ALWAYS wrong...
Don't blame me because you always lose..
You have already conceded that you don't READ my links..
So, why should I bother??
Because you are addicted and can't help yourself. But through BAA (Blog Addicts Anonymous) we have a twelve step program that can help you move to a more holistic internet usage...
Come to think about it, Republicans aren't keen to make any concessions because it might remind people about the word con.
^^^Says the guy who said "Russia is all bluster" and the next thing ya know, Ukraine is getting pounded.. :D
Like I said, Bash... ZERO credibility..
[94]
C'mon, Bashi!
Any didn't you post the link? I've got other Republican buddies who struggle with this scourge.
MC,
So, I offered to give you links..
I just want to hear you say yer ignorant of the subject...
So, I'll ask again...
So, you need LINKS to show that Biden has normalized relations with Venezuela in a bid to get more oil..
And you need LINKS to show that Biden has begged Saudi Arabia to pump more oil..
I just want to be clear on the ignorance that you are admitting to...
Lemme know when you actually want the links, MC.. :D

Biden is trying to get foreign oil sources to up their production.. All while sitting on HUGE amounts of oil and natural gas reserves..
That's a part of fighting inflation
How is helping foreign oil regimes helping to fight US inflation???
Yer not making sense, MC...
Biden is trying to get foreign oil sources to up their production.. All while sitting on HUGE amounts of oil and natural gas reserves..
That is to say, BIDEN is preventing the exploitation of oil and natural gas in the ground in the US...
Figgered I would have to clarify that.. :D
Yes, Bash is a recovering Blog Addict.. He gets depressed when I kick his ass all over Weigantia.. :D
You know along with BAA they also have programs to help with your delusions of grandeur...
Don't tell me.. Tell MC.. He was the one saying you suffer'ed from Blog Addiction....

I readily concede my Weigantia addiction..
I LOVE it here... It's where I get to make fools of Democrats on a daily oft-HOURLY basis.. :D
That's exactly what someone with delusions of grandeur would say...
Here's a
quickie about Russian propaganda that has some 70% of the population supporting the special military operation.

EM #31 ---
"If even a modicum of common sense prevailed, there would be no war in Ukraine and no suffering and death over a European security alliance."
I have no idea what you are talking about in this sentence. Do we live in different worlds. From everything I have read and from speaking the Ukrainians with relatives still in country, it is obvious that the only way to stop this war quickly is to simply give Mr. Putin control of the country. Is that what you are advocating? Putin has said on numerous occasions that he intends to roll Ukraine into his new Russian Empire. Do you see that as a desirable outcome? Do you really believe that there is some easy way to get him to simply say "I'm sorry and will leave now"?
The overwhelming consensus of opinion is that the only way to get him to leave is to raise his cost of continuing the invasion to a point where he will be forced to concede and back out. Unfortunately, this will take a little longer. Largely, because the entire Russian command is so rotten that Mr Putin still does not realize just how bad a shape he is in. When he finally realizes that he can not get what he wants he will negotiate a face saving deal and head home.
SF,
From everything I have read and from speaking the Ukrainians with relatives still in country, it is obvious that the only way to stop this war quickly is to simply give Mr. Putin control of the country.
Actually, the only way to stop this war is to have prevented it from starting in the first place..
It is accepted as fact that Putin does NOT want to face NATO...
Had Biden put US troops in harm's way (It's IN the job description fer christ's sake!!) then Putin never would have invaded Ukraine...
Sure it would have been a risk. A small risk...
But the alternative is what is transpiring now...
How many thousands dead?? An entire country, turned to rubble...
It's almost as if Biden's handlers WANTED this war in a vain attempt to boost Biden's approval ratings..
:^/
Wide rift in Russia, Ukraine negotiations could mean drawn out war that favors Putin: experts say
Putin is much more prepared for a drawn-out conflict than Zelenskyy, experts say
https://www.foxnews.com/world/putin-zelenskyy-far-apart-in-negotiations-with-both-sides-offering-non-starters-experts-say
What's going to happen is Biden's handlers are going to milk this for all it's worth and then turn Ukraine loose and the US will wash their hands of this..
"It's a European problem.. We're not involved.."
-Biden Administration
That is how this is going to end for the US...
On the PLUS side, that will mean it's unlikely that there will be a nuclear exchange..
If (when) the afore occurs, the chances of a actual nuclear war drops to below 40%...
And once again, it's PROVEN how full of shit Democrats are...
Democrats are big on hysterics and doom saying..
They prove it over and over again..
But when the rubber hits the road, when the FACTS are aired...
It turns out Democrats are just a bunch of hot air...
"We need to spend less time on these witch hunts targeting our own soldiers and spending more time focused on strategic threats like China and Russia and any others that are threatening our country.
If Joe Biden had put this much time into developing an exit strategy for Afghanistan than he does targeting our own soldiers … then maybe the 13 service members who lost their lives back in that country would be alive today."

Apparently, strict gun laws do NOT prevent mass shootings..
Who could have POSSIBLY figured this out??
Oh.. Wait... :^/
It is accepted as fact that Putin does NOT want to face NATO...
Now. Not before the war started. I think Biden did the one thing Trump never did and actually pay attention to the national security apparatus and they told him Putin was going to attack and there was little chance of avoiding that, diplomatically or otherwise. That is why Biden released all the spoilers for the invasion.
Trump weakened NATO, or at least Putin thought he did. Putin would not attack the central players as either they would be defended or could defend themselves (France has a perfectly reputable nuclear triad). But he did think he could chip away at the fringes, and the US and central players would say mean things and toss some token sanctions but in the end would not commit military force, especially if it was small "disputed" areas and not the entire country...
Bash,
None of what you say is factually accurate..
It was perfectly clear to those who understand military matters (which leaves you out) that Putin did not want to fight NATO..
That was obvious..
But Biden's handlers wanted this war.. They thought it would give Biden a boost..
Leave it to Biden to frak even THAT up..
Biden's approval is still falling..
Why are you so hysterical about taking down a law that would prevent something you claim has never happened and WILL never happen??
There are so many things wrong with your argument that it’s hard to know where to begin, but we will start with the most glaring one in this case:
This law prevents NOTHING!
Do you think that teachers should teach lesson plans to 4 5 and 6 yr olds that discusses sexual activity, sexual preferences or gender mutations??
No. I do not think those are appropriate lessons to be taught to kindergartners. But this law doesn’t prevent teachers from teaching those lessons. This law does not allow law enforcement to arrest a teacher that breaks this law…they face no criminal charges for violating this law!
No, any teacher that teaches on “gender mutations” should be fired immediately as only talent scouts looking for child actors to be in child porn, beastiality and snuff films use such offensive verbiage. And when did Florida start allowing underaged kids into kindergarten? When did kindergarten’s age restriction start allowing children under 5yo at the start of the school year enroll in classes?
Why doesn’t the law protect newborns, 1 yo, 2 yo, and 3 yo from being taught if they ever touch their own genitals, it will cause their parents to die? Republicans don’t truly want to protect these children it would appear.
Does it say ANYWHERE in the law that a child cannot seek counseling on gender issues??
No, because even Republicans know that you can’t stop a child from seeking counseling on gender issues by passing an idiotic law!
But any teacher that responds to that child risks being sued if the parent does not believe that is an age appropriate discussion for them to have with their child. And seeing how the law intentionally avoids defining what is and isn’t appropriate across the wide range of potential topics for those 5 - 18 yo, teachers’ using their best judgement still risk being sued.
Apparently, strict gun laws do NOT prevent mass shootings..
Especially when the laws you are referring to aren’t anywhere close to being “strict”! These laws aren’t written to prevent those with access to firearms from committing mass murder. They prevent someone who does not have access to a gun from buying one and committing mass murder that same day. Requiring gun owners to be licensed with a photo ID and forced to pass comprehensive tests to assure the owner knows how to use a gun safely; requiring gun owners to register all of their firearms with the government and imposing massive fines and mandatory loss of 2nd Amendment rights for failing to properly register a firearm would be “strict” gun laws that could make a huge difference in the amount of gun violence in this country.
Michale,
"Shocking. Positively shocking."
What movie is that from?
Biden took President Trump's deal and threw it in the toilet, supplanted BIDEN-wisdom for MILITARY wisdom and got 13 American soldiers killed..
So Republicans were to blame for the deaths on 9/11?
It's funny to hear ya'all Democrats..

Here's a fun link: Memo Circulated To Florida Teachers Lays Out Clever Sabotage Of 'Don't Say Gay' Law
What I'll be looking forward to are the lawsuits that roll in for teachers referring to students as a whole as boys and girls, or individually as he or she, or insisting on being addressed as Mr., Mrs., or any other gendered title. Then there's the issue of schools maintaining separate bathrooms for "boys" and "girls."
Any gendered/sexually-oriented reference of any sort needs to be banished from K-3. It's just not age-appropriate.
Maybe next we can go after the parents who dress their infant "boys" in blue and "girls" in pink. We don't want them projecting their ideas about gender identity on newborns and toddlers.
Yo, Elizabeth. Where is everybody?
EM #123 So what is your magic solution the the Ukraine problem. What is the secret sauce (common sense) that will assuage Putin's lust for Empire and at the same time preserve Ukrainian freedoms and sovereignty?
That's okay, Elizabeth. Despite predictions about nukes flying (kind of like predicting that black Americans would ever vote for Trump) there are many Sunday evenings that are yet to come.
did someone say nukes flying?
it's a mistake!

MyVoice,
That’s a great plan for dealing with this law. I think just referring to all students as “it” is also appropriate. I had stated earlier that Students in Florida won’t be taught pronouns until their first semester in college, so that’ll drop the state’s educational rankings even lower than they currently are!
SF Bear,
Asked ... and answered many times, right here in these recent comment threads.
Look them up yourself!
MtnCaddy,
As you know, we usually don't get underway Sunday Nights much before 7pm PST, as a nod to Chris and to our left coast friends.
However, this past week was a rough one and I worked every freakin' day, including Sunday. After dinner I had what was supposed to be a short nap but ended up waking up just now.
SF Bear,
Stop wasting my time!
MtnCaddy,
Thanks for trying to start things going with Talking Heads. I just learned that they released their debut album in 1977! That was a very good year, my friend - the year of PRiSM's eponymous debut album. Which was the first debut album by a Canadian artist to achieve platinum status in Canada!!! Of course, it would go on to even more acclaim. Not too surprising given how PRiSM came to be ...
Next time you try to take over, try harder - welcome everyone to the party and play more of your favourites! I'm sure others will join in on the fun ... well, the ones who like to have some fun, anyways. :)
Russ,
This law prevents NOTHING!
According to hysterical Democrats, the law prevents saying gay...
According to YOU, the law prevents children from talking about gender bender issues..
NOW you are claiming that the law doesn't prevent ANYTHING???
You obviously STILL haven't read the law..
No. I do not think those are appropriate lessons to be taught to kindergartners.
Then we are in agreement.. So, then you should have NO PROBLEM with the FL Parents Rights In Education law..
And yes, the law prevents teachers from teaching sexual gender related issues to 4, 5 and 6 yr olds..
}}}Does it say ANYWHERE in the law that a child cannot seek counseling on gender issues??{{{{
No
OK.. Then you have no problem with the FL law..
We have common ground..
Nothing is wrong with the FL Parents Rights In Education law..
Glad we can get that settled.. :D
Russ,
Especially when the laws you are referring to aren’t anywhere close to being “strict”!
So, your saying California doesn't have strict gun laws compared to say, Texas???
This is why it's rare we have a meeting of the minds, Russ...
You're theories are way out there and have no basis in facts or reality.. :^/
So Republicans were to blame for the deaths on 9/11?
Like I said.. Far out there and have no basis in facts or reality...
It was Madison Cawthorn who was complaining about the senior citizen cocaine orgies, not the Democrats.
Hypocrisy is the anti-drug party Republicans getting busted by one of their own describing witnessing GOP leaders key bumping cocaine!
Which, of course, you have no facts to support it happened..
I suppose you would take this guy's word for it if he said something AGAINST Democrats, eh?? :^/
Once again.. You only believe it because you WANT to believe it..
Even if there are ZERO facts to support it..
Russ,
. I had stated earlier that Students in Florida won’t be taught pronouns until their first semester in college, so that’ll drop the state’s educational rankings even lower than they currently are!
And yet, once again, the FACTS prove how utterly full of crap you and MyVoice are.. :D
FLORIDA
Florida ranks third in national ranking for K-12 achievement
Florida outperforms the nation in 15 of 18 K-12 Achievement measures.
Florida is ranked 2nd for improving the high school graduation rate.
Florida is ranked 3rd for improvement in grade 4 mathematics.
Florida is ranked 4th for improvement in grade 8 reading.
Let's see where Democrat states are.. :D
NEW YORK
So how did New York State rank? New York ranked 13th overall, with a total score of 57.37. The state also ranked 19th in educational attainment and 14th in quality of education.
CALIFORNIA
California is 36th in nation in Education Week's latest rankings in per-student spending.
So... Given these FACTS, it would see your claims are, once again, PROVEN to be nothing but political hate and bigotry...
:D
MyVoice..

The solution was simple for people with military experience AND more than 2 brain cells to rub together..
It's accepted as fact, both then and now, that Putin does NOT want to face NATO..
So, Biden could have put troops in Ukraine and Putin would not have attacked..
It's that simple...

Nope. No PC gaming.
Ahhh
The reason I ask is that FC 4 has an AWESOME moral dilemma that you have to solve..
Along the lines of excessive religious context you allude to...
Religion is a crutch that many people use because they can't handle life...
Which is not to say there aren't some good lessons there.. There are..
But to base one's entire existence around it??
To believe that there is a fantasy all powerful being controlling everything??
Uh uh...
People basing their entire existence around the Bible is no different than the Iotians basing their entire society on CHICAGO GANGS OF THE TWENTIES...
It's like Joe Biden WANTS Democrats to be decimated in November!!
Religion is a crutch that many people use because they can't handle life...
careful now, it's not a big step from there to "opiate of the masses." my sense is that religion is a multi-purpose tool, and how good or bad it is depends entirely on how it's used. just like a screwdriver can be used to fix doorknobs or to mug people on the subway.

Here's to looking in the mirror.
MC,
Not factually accurate..
I have a PROVEN track record of changing my opinion when the FACTS warrant it..
Unlike ya'all..
Hell, ya'all STILL believe that there was collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, even though the FACTS prove other wise..
Ya'all believe that there is nothing to the Hunter Biden laptop, even though the FACTS prove other wise..
Ya'all believe that global warming is going to destroy the planet even though the FACTS prove otherwise..
Ya'all believe Kyle Rittenhouse and George Zimmerman committed murder even thought the FACTS prove otherwise..
I could list HUNDREDS of things ya'all believe/don't believe even though the FACTS conclusively prove ya'all wrong..
So, yer claim is nothing but projection and denial...
But I still like ya anyways.. :D
Speaking of denial and what ya'all think regardless of the FACTS.. :D
FEC fines Hillary Clinton campaign and DNC over Trump-Russia dossier research
Washington (CNN)Federal election regulators fined Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee earlier this month for not properly disclosing the money they spent on controversial opposition research that led to the infamous Trump-Russia dossier.
The DNC was fined $105,000 and the Clinton campaign was fined $8,000, according to a letter sent by the Federal Election Commission to a conservative group that requested an inquiry.

Political candidates and groups are required to publicly disclose their spending to the FEC, and they must explain the purpose of any specific expenditure more than $200. The FEC concluded that the Clinton campaign and DNC misreported the money that funded the dossier, masking it as "legal services" and "legal and compliance consulting" instead of opposition research.

If Hillary and the DNC truly believed the Steel Dossier was legit, why try to hide how it was paid for???
Ya'all STILL believe that Biden won the election fair and square.. Even though the FACTS prove otherwise..
Lott's data corresponds with the fact that the Presidential race and the down stream races showed a remarkable divergence...
The downstream races broke overwhelmingly for the GOP... The Presidential race broke for Democrats...
Add these facts to all the other PRE-election fraud where Democrats bought entire election boards and the picture it paints is clear..
But hay.. Water under the bridge, right??
But now we know what to look for in the 2022 and 2024 elections.. :D
Democrats won't be able to try those same tricks again...

Yes, Trump was that bad of a president that many Republicans voted for Biden but still voted republican down ticket. The Occam's Razor answer. Plus Lott's methodology has been debunked...
Too much bold in the boxes, Michale ... thought it was agreed just the headline would be bold, no?
I also notice, Michale, you do a lot of boxing in of article headlines and then cut and paste a lot of what's in the articles.
That's not necessary.
Just do a fancy link - I know you know how to do them! - and write your own thoughts.
Otherwise, I have no time to respond.

I do read Foreign Affairs but, as you would surmise, I don't always agree with everything in it.
Especially when one considers that Biden had the power to stop the war before it began and dropped the ball..
So, Michale, tell me how you think Biden could have stopped the war.
@liz,
he thinks if we'd stationed NATO troops in ukraine, putin wouldn't have had the guts to attack and risk military reprisal.
Has he lost his keyboard?
if that is what he thinks then he's dead wrong.
He found that in-person voting for the neighboring precincts was about the same, but absentee or mailed balloting tilted toward Democrats in the Democratic precincts.
Mr. Lott said there is no clear reason why absentee turnout alone should increase in just the Democratic jurisdiction, which suggests shenanigans were afoot.
Or it was because Democrats took the COVID-19 warnings seriously while the GOP base invaded each other’s personal space trying to prove that they were the most ignorant Trump supporter of them all.
It could also be that there were fewer GOP voters alive to request absentee ballots thanks to Trump rallies killing them off.
Heh.
