CNN: Why Donald Trump can't stop praising Vladimir Putin
"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent," Trump said. "Oh, that's wonderful."
.....................................
"Putin is now saying, 'It's independent,' a large section of Ukraine. I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's gonna go in and be a peacekeeper."
.....................................
"They say, 'Trump said Putin's smart.' I mean, he's taking over a country for two dollars' worth of sanctions. I'd say that's pretty smart. He's taking over a country — really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in," Trump told the crowd,

...it seems trump's friend putin has kicked over the apple-cart in Europe and within the World Order and trump is proud of him...
Reuters:
" Asked whether Putin's threat of "such consequences that you have never encountered in your history" was tantamount to threatening Russian use nuclear weapons in the Ukraine conflict, Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said it was indeed understood as such. "

...I wonder if putin threatening nuclear war is also part of trump's 2024 election strategy?...we know trump and putin are buds...we know putin likes overthrowing elections and democracies and so does trump...
...stay tuned for "such consequences that you have never encountered in your history"...

Is Bernie right...?
" CHUCK TODD:
Very quickly, as perhaps the leading progressive voice in the Democratic coalition, can President Biden count on your vote in the Senate with almost any compromise he comes up with with Manchin?
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS:
No. No, absolutely not. You're going to have to look at what that so-called compromise is. If it's strong, if it protects the needs of working people, if it deals with climate, I'm there. But we have to look at the details of any proposal. "

Joe on competition...
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/01/19/remarks-by-president-biden-in-press-conference-6/" We end up with an industry like the meat-processing industry where four big companies dominate the markets, pay ranchers less for their cattle they grow, charge consumers more for beef — hamburger meat, whatever they’re buying. Prices are up.
Look, I’m a capitalist. But capitalism without competition is not capitalism, it’s exploitation. "
"...capitalism without competition is not capitalism, it’s exploitation."

" 1.2 Marx’s Theory of Exploitation
By far the most influential theory of exploitation ever set forth is that of Karl Marx, who held that workers in a capitalist society are exploited insofar as they are forced to sell their labor power to capitalists for less than the full value of the commodities they produce with their labor. "
...Joe's right, I'm exploited...
Free COVID tests...

...we're allowed 4 free COVID tests per household. Should arrive in 7-12 days.
...it's easy...
The Honorable Speaker of the House:
https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/11722-1" The problem is the filibuster. How can we allow a custom of the Senate stand in the way of the Constitution of the United States?
We have to – I say to our colleagues, whom I respect there: weigh the equities. Is it more important to honor the work of Dr. King, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, all the people that Dr. King shares residence with on the Mall? Or, is it more important to honor a custom? What a custom.
I said that the Constitution, rather than the custom, should reign. The Constitution says: simple majority, unless you are ratifying a treaty, you are convicting someone who was impeached or you are ratifying the Constitution. Otherwise, it's a simple majority. Why else would they have the Senate – the President of the Senate – the Vice President of the United States, breaking a 50-50 tie, if that were not fraught with meaning? "
" How can we allow a custom of the Senate stand in the way of the Constitution..."
...yes, how can we...
underestimating, overestimating or estimating...
...as Dems, are we underestimating, overestimating or accurately estimating the threat trump poses to our country and democracy?
...some seem to think he's not that big of a problem...some seem to think he's Satan incarnate out to destroy everything...others seem to believe were on the right track to a safe and secure outcome...
...a lot of what's going to happen along with the corresponding outcome will depend on how we act, react and define the threat...I'm of the belief that we're still underestimating trump and that this demon is not going anywhere...
...what trajectory do you think we're on?

smearing shit on democracy...
...a year ago on January 6th trump supporters stormed the Capitol and smeared their shit throughout the building...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9126409/MAGA-mob-rioters-smeared-POO-Capitol.html
...our Capitol was damaged, people were injured, people died as trump supporters smeared their shit...
...a year has gone by and trump and his supporters have yet to apologize for smearing shit on our Capitol and our democracy...
...it hurts...
...I've lost friends and relatives who've fought and died in wars for this country, defending this country, defending our democracy...
...only to have it smeared with shit?
...
Dick Cheney...?
...there is absolutely nothing I have politically in common with Dick Cheney but I saw him at the Capitol today...
" Asked why he came to the Capitol this day, Cheney said, "It's an important historical event," referring to the anniversary of the insurrection. "You can't overestimate how important it is." "
" He added, "I'm deeply disappointed we don't have better leadership in the Republican Party to restore the Constitution." "
" He noted that his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is an exception. She is the vice chair of the House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol, and has come under heavy fire from fellow Republicans. "

vaccine believer...
...what the hell is the BIG deal about getting vaccinated?
...we've been getting treated and punctured all of our lives on the recommendations of the medical community...you couldn't have been in or near a hospital or room without welcoming needles...and
...did we hesitate when they said our leg was broken and needed to be set?...were they lying when they said we had a bad gallbladder?...were they joking when they confronted us with a found cancer or hernia that needed an operation?
...why all of a sudden lengthy in depth research is now required to believe the medical community?
...should we now be doing lengthy research on anything and everything that nears, enters or impacts our body?...how about a potato?...a stick of gum?...an aspirin?...a yummy cookie?...or how about a bar of soap or that roll of toilet paper?
...be careful, better research it, analyze it, check it out...
...you never know...
