You have been constantly pimping the party that nominated this guy and invited this guy to speak at their convention. Who’s the moron?

So you backed the Ziofascist pig who was Vice President of the administration that brought slave markets to Libya, homicidal maniacs to Syria, neo-nazis to Ukraine… and helped push for the Iraq War. Got it.

Posted by: gm | Nov 13 2020 3:37 utc | 111 Hiya annie – good to see you post here again. Take care ai, Palestinians will get their nation back, because as they demonstrated against the xtian crusaders about a thousand years ago, being peaceable types generally they aren’t up on war technology, but they do have determination, solidarity and an innate belief that all the country which the zionists currently occupy is part of Palestine.

Thank you Tom you have made my day. This news, if consummated, is the best I have heard in years. May all the soldiers everywhere, be home for xmas. I believe Trump needs to meet and greet every plane landing on US soil and personally thank every soldier on their safe return. Posted by: uncle tungsten | Nov 13 2020 3:45 utc | 113 BIden
So whats new honey ? Posted by: denk | Nov 13 2020 3:53 utc | 114 Tobin Paz #104 Posted by: uncle tungsten | Nov 13 2020 4:00 utc | 115 Here it is, definitive proof that guns screw up lip sync. Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys perform “Stay A Little Longer”. Posted by: Debsisdead | Nov 13 2020 5:11 utc | 116 Venezuelan Scientists Develop ‘Effective’ Anti-COVID-19 Medicine: Maduro – Tasnim News Agency (Iran) – 10/26/20 Posted by: David G Horsman | Nov 13 2020 5:27 utc | 117 Netflix has a series on the Scientology Cult. After watching a handful of episodes I marveled at how human beings are easy prey for cults. And I couldn’t help thinking that the elements of the psyche that make human beings pliable and open to entrancement by cults are the same elements that cause people to be loyal to a party that openly cheats and manipulates it’s members and has them act in lockstep and vote for Dementia candidate Biden and WWIII Hillary. Posted by: librul | Nov 13 2020 5:42 utc | 118 How do I know that the Democratic Party cheated in this election? Posted by: librul | Nov 13 2020 5:47 utc | 119 King Lira @119– Came across a newly published book, Tomorrow, the World: The Birth of U.S.Global Supremacy by Stephen Wertheim. A short review of the book’s here and an open preview is here, which covers the Introduction and most of the first chapter. It looks like a well researched investigative essay I’ll need to read as it touches on a major aspect of my project. From the review, it seems a similar coup was accomplished with US Foreign Policy as was done with Neoliberalism. I do see a few questions that I’d like to ask the author just from the review and Introduction, which is why more needs to be read, and critically. For those interested and awake, Lavrov’s press conference with Russian and International media can be viewed at 12:30pm Moscow time at a number of sites listed here. re King Lira #119 Posted by: Debsisdead | Nov 13 2020 7:10 utc | 123 Still needed is a means for the governed to control the behaviors to a reasonable set of standards and to command the allegiances of those who are appointed to be in charge of the government to make the government they operate serve the people it governs? A 1 share stockholder in a 100,000, 000 share multinational public corporation has more say in how the corporation operates than an voter in a election held in America to appoint party selected candidates to office in the USA. Posted by: snake | Nov 13 2020 7:26 utc | 124 karlof1 #124 and #125 Posted by: uncle tungsten | Nov 13 2020 8:03 utc | 125 china wants to avoid the monopoly power trap <=very thoughtful and revealing article .. I remember when the Justice Dept made Dupont divest a business which Monsanto purchased because the name used to promote the Dupont product was so generic that it had established for Dupont a monopoly in the market place. Those were the good ole days of capitalistic competition, no copyright and patent monopoly powers, and strong government doing its job.. those were the days when America was great. Posted by: snake | Nov 13 2020 8:03 utc | 126 Perhaps we should respect circe’s psychic powers as she seems to be channeling John Kasich continuously these past few months.

Exactly and then when Biden betrays their interests – as he is sure to do, their complaints will not be heard, they can’t withdraw their financial support as they never had any and no court would believe their testimony. Sounds like Biden finally though of a good idea.

He says he thought it was a completely innocent piece of investigative work , and he was shocked by Google-YT’s action because they had never done anything like this to his work previously.

Posted by: Circe | Nov 13 2020 14:49 utc | 145 Trump is still president until then and I am convinced that he is going to continue to wreak havoc. While some of that havoc may be bringing troops home, most of the havoc will be internal government and financial.

If you ever have the opportunity (they stopped recording because their main singer died some years ago) to listen to their music, it is well worth it (along with Dylan, Waits, the Wilburys and on and on….).

Yeah. See my comments on the “Russia Achieves Ceasefire In Nagorno-Karabakh” thread. Posted by: Jackrabbit | Nov 13 2020 20:43 utc | 167 Dear Uncle Tungsten Some of us don’t post links because we fear the wrath of the tech tyrants. Others of us of course post almost never because we dislike being pounced on.
