If you understand that the Rebuplican Paty today is the Organized Crime Party...this all makes sense

It's been this way since 92. When Bill Clinton got elected and Newt Gingrich became Speaker. Understand that BC had a humungus libido....it is a trait that most American Presidents have had since George was selected (Washington, that is). But Bill was the first President to pay the price for having adult women get attracted to him. So Newt Gingrinch, Bob Livingtone, Ken Starr, and Brett K went after him for....being a goddam attractive to the opposite sex. And Newt and Bob ran a witch hunt against Bill while BOTH were having their own affairs with people not their wives. Yes, that is hypocrisy.

But, the real point today. almost 25 years later is this....run for Congress as a Republican and you are already damaged goods. You are blackmailable. You do not get to run for federal office unless you are already comprimised. You get to run, only if you check your conscience at the door and are willing to vote the Party Line. No different then then their Russian or Chinese equivalent who runs for national office.

This is what Trump/Republican Party want. One Party rule where you cannot challenge the individual corruptness.

Enjoy the 1 Party state that is rapidly being constructed by the freedom loving Repubkicans.

Could anyone share a good Youtube playlist of Dead and Co.?

Longtime Deadhead, but for the past several years, I have stagnated on what I truly enjoy listening to: Hot Tuna / David Bromberg / John Prime / Tom Rush / The Youngbloods* / John Sebastion / Steve Goodman / Arlo Guthrie.....yeah it is a great rabbit hole to explore.....

Looking forward to Spring here in New England and I want to really explore the Dead and Co. catalog this summer. I get notified on separate shows/songs that D&C have done and they are pretty goddam good. John Mayer channels Jerry -and a worthy replacement. Mayer's interpretation of "Tennessee Jed" is pretty cool. He's where Jerry was in '72.

So I wonder if there are recs for a curated D&C compilation over the last few years that might exist on Youtube today? Finishing a new kitchen this week - 6 weeks of camping out in your own house! - but New Kitchen will have new Lg screen TV/Soundbar....would love to showcase these guys while we celebrate making it through another year here in New England and under seige.

I am an agnostic.

Explain why I am wrong.

So, who benefits from a US-China Trade War? Russia!!

Why would Trump want to screw his own Made in China "Trump" merchandise? Because that's small money. The real money is in mega-million loan forgiveness and a % of future US earnings for the global crime syndicate headed in Moscow.

what do we know about 100% Trump Import Tarrifs?

$60BB impact? Not fucking likely. We are fucked. It took us 30 years to divest our manufacturing infrastructure.....anyone think we can reconstitute that infrastructure in 6 months? hahahaha. Think manufacturing will make $200MM investments to produce a 1/4-20 bolt(s)? Think Harley Davidson won't see their market future and won't leave the USA? Gone! SE Asia and China are the stable player we need to align with...now. Isolate Russia -#IsRussiaPutin ?

What does Putin have on Trump? When will we decide?

Netflix: Occupied - Season 2

Season 2 just got released and it is an incredible, fascinating, and, frankly, chilling story about the fictional recent occupation of Norway by Russia. Season 1 was mostly about events that lead up to the occupation. Starts with Norway's plan to become totally a green energy country, but Russia begins a plan to destabilize Norway and create events to justify an invasion. Season 2 is all about Norwegians living, resisting, and colluding in their nightmare. Captioned.

One weird thing I noticed....when I started watching yesterday, the series had 5 stars. Today, ratings are down to 3 stars. Given recent events and cyber warfare, it makes you wonder...

What are your thoughts about Dwight David Eisenhower?

Sorry no interest in discussing his personal life.

What do you think of him as General...then President?


Have you looked at the 1952 and 1956 Republican platform?

I could have been a E-Republican, but Nixon destroyed Dwight's Legacy.

Hi, 1st time poster here....Activist Idea!

When you visit an establishment that only serves Fox.....why not request a change to MSNBC?
If not, ask that an alternative news channel, like MSNBC be accommodated.

If not- In the "Fox is Killing US" app*, hold the proprietor accountable to the propaganda that he is allowing for public saturation.

* Activist Idea. I suspect that this would be a piece of cake to create..... Maybe a DU app?

Does Russia have an unassailable right to arm citizens per a 2nd Amendment Constitutional guarantee?

Fuck no, they aren't this stupid. But if you wanted to destroy your #1 adversary, why would wouldn't you exploit this 1700 Amendment to destroy your adversary?

Pretty simple. If you are an elected Republican that does not become an Independent, NOW, you are

part of the problem.

There should be a political amnesty day, say March 15th. By that day, any elected Republicans who doesn't agree with the GOP/NRA/Putin agenda must become an Independent. Otherwise, you are part of the treasonous problem. You can stop the GOP agenda in its tracks if you agree to sacrifice GOP leadership in the House and Senate. Otherwise....you are an unindicted co-conspirator.
