Tulsi is our generation's Lyndon LaRouche and I expect we will be force fed reams of her conspiracy theories just as soon as she lands that sweet gig at Fox "News" Channel.

The reason Tulsi states she left the Democrat party is Dems are leading us to nuclear Holocaust
due to the Biden Admin’s support of Ukraine in Russia’s unprovoked war via illegal land grab.

Notice that Tulsi is not upset at Russia? That woman is very transparent.

What was Tulsi Gabbard doing in Russia on March 1, 2022 - one week after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?

Gabbard is in thrall to an offshoot sect of the Hare Krishnas, headed by a homophobic anti-islamic, self-styled "Guru" Named Chris Butler...

I don't see much of a future for her in broadcasting or politics. If I was gonna guess I'd say she'll eventually parlay her notoriety and local "fame" into a successful career in real estate back in the islands.

Has anyone else listened to Rachel Maddow's podcast, ULTRA? https://the-rachel-maddow-show.simplecast.com/episodes/special-preview-rachel-maddow-presents-ultra

I feel like we're back in the 1930s and watching the rise of the Fascists and Nazis. It's a good reminder that it can happen here, and that the United States was not immune then, or now. The parallels are eerie.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Oh no no nooooo! It's all "politics as usual!" LOL (sarcasm)

Politics as usual because this has all happened before.

It happened in the 30s, it happened in the 60s, it happened in the 90s, it's happening now as we approach the 30s again. There was even a similar pandemic

And I point once again to the fates of both the Nazi and Fascist leaders, fates which seem to await most dictators, whether malevolent or benevolent. Trump will be damned lucky if he stays out of jail at this point, but he's too much of a coward to blow his brains out.

And if you aren't aware of Mussolini's fate I'll let you Google it yourself. It isn't pretty.

Politics as usual.

Now I know "fer 100 percent sure" that you seldom if ever actually read anything I say.
Not just a few weeks ago I specifically mentioned the deets on Musso's fate and hinted a form of that might be the only solution to Trump's mobster gambit of drowning the judicial system in a billionaire's blizzard of paper terrorism.

I mentioned in detail how the Italian government in exile (CLNAI) tried Musso, found him guilty and sentenced him to death, and I made a fine point about how the courts never got to carry out their sentence because the townspeople got to Musso first when they caught him trying to escape to the North.

But regardless, the court's sentence was legal.

I posted it here, on Twitter, on Facebook and on Debate Politics.
I kept posting it and posting it and posting it repeatedly, wondering if the day would come when one of the social media platforms would drop the hammer on me for whatever reason.

It's rather obvious that you must have skipped right on past it. LOL
Not upset about that at all, now that I know you really couldn't care less what happens.

By the way, are you of the opinion that all these nations who have been burned down by such excesses all recover and that life in those places goes back to normal again?
Ever talk to the families of people impacted BY those excesses?

The only reason I grew up here instead of in Germany is because fascism ripped apart the life savings of my father's family, twenty-five million Marks in gold. That's about a half billion in today's money.
Had it not been for Hitler I'd have never made it here at all and I'd have probably grown up in Frankfurt in a home the size of a city block with a private lake out back.

Just like my Dad did.

Ever talk to the former residents of the United States about their suffering?

The ones we still keep in internment camps? Or the former residents of Africa, who we brought here in chains?

The only reason I wasn't born in Germany is that my many time's great grandfather was conscripted there to fight for the British in the Revolutionary war. He was then captured in battle and agreed to fight for American forces in return for 40 acres of land.

When Charlemagne went door to door and asked "Pagan or Christian?" My ancestors wisely said "Christian" So that pagans would survive.

Have I told you of the burning times? When my people were burned wholesale across Europe and here as well?

The answer is yes, Jeffery, people rebuild as best they can and life gets back to normal. Until the sh*t hits the fan again and it's rinse and repeat...

Politics as usual isn't just the soft warm summer breeze, it's the cold winds of winter too.

If your ship isn't worthy in a storm, it wasn't much of a ship to begin with.
