Bernie Convinces Republicans He’s Right

luxintenebris jokingly says...

just a thought...$616 billion is what percentage of the amount taxed?

40 years ago the rate was higher. now it's much lower. could the amount be so large that a slight slice of that pie topples the amount collected in decades passed?

If Bezos can spend money on crap he doesn't need, why shouldn't we be able to spend it on things WE DO NEED?

in short, the message is real. your disbelief does not change the sun from rising. it serves no one well. least of all yourself.

if even a tickle of percipience has stirred your gray matter - then ignore the rest.

THE REST

"Just proves republicans also have stupid people who do not think ." Very close to the truth, but a lot closer than you think. Like less than an atom away.

what the GOP thinks of your patronage (total debauchary)

A dozen more billionaire oligarchs were just added to the hit list by Sleepy Joe. Assets to be seized, travel denied for them, their families, and associates and their families.
Joe gets more done asleep than Manic Trump got done in years while hopped up on speed!
Crushing it.
That’s leadership, bob, since I know you’re confused. It’s not calling dictators lovely people and geniuses for committing war crimes. Not countering an invasion with a small ground force training exercise in another country, or ignoring it completely.
It’s taking direct action targeted at the ruling class in Russia and toppling their economy in a week.

Massive Protests Erupt in Mainland China

cloudballoon says...

Says who though? That's a narrative, fed from the media, tightly controlled by the CCP. Yes, people's lives are in general getting better materially. But people knows they have little freedom to criticize the government in public, but that doesn't mean it's "part of the bargain." There's just no means to disagree with the CCP without risking life & limbs. But those that got treated so badly that they felt there's nothing left to lose? Oh they do "rise up", whether you can hear about it, that's another matter entirely.

Chinese (as a whole people) don't "rise up (at least enough)" beause they see the financial benefit of China's explosive growth, and in general, you won't get into the CCP radar/ire if you're a regular citizen just going on your day. But the vast majority of Chinese knows they're far from catching up to anywhere near the G7/10 standard. So their focus is on that (the financial end), not toppling the CCP. They're more pragmatists than idealists.

Make no mistake, the G7 is ALSO part of the problem by enabling the CCP due of the immense financial gains and just pay lip service to "human right abuses" in China to score domestic points.

The Chinese (and the CCP) saw what happened to the U.S.S.R. and they don't want the "Western world" to "rescue" them. As they know the one thing the Western World does best is Abandonment.

Hmm. My understanding of the great bargain was: as long as Xi Jing Ping and the CCCP can make the economy grow around 5.5 to 7% real growth--the larger quantity of the citizens will just go along to get along...

GOP Try to Rewrite the History of the Jan 6th Insurrection

cloudballoon says...

It's not even worth the "controversy" tag for the GOP anymore. Toppling democracy, transparency, decency, truth and rule of law IS their modus operandi, all in name of servitude to a mad king Drumpf.

Pike County Sheriffs Beat And Mace Man In Restraint Chair

newtboy says...

Lol. See that peacock logo on the video?
Or are you saying unless every network shows it on their prime time national broadcast news show, it wasn't covered. I found reporting from ABC, NBC, CBS, VICE, even Fox (but not Faux news). I bet CNN had coverage too, but they aren't easy to search. Even if it didn't make the prime time broadcast, these networks all have late night national broadcasts that use local affiliate clips like this to fill the time.

If that's your position I guess that means there is no right wing/"conservative" news at all then, there is no nationally broadcast right wing channel, nor is there any right wing NEWS at all, only what they admit in court is ignorant biased baseless unbelievable hyperbolic uninformed opinion they call news but only morons could possibly believe it, and there are only basic cable networks.

Yes, punching someone in the head a dozen times with full force of a 250-300 lb man so hard it breaks his hand, with the victim restrained so they can't defend themselves is attempted murder. Pepper spraying a restrained man, letting him topple over to the concrete, and letting him gasp for breath for well over 10 minutes, tightly restrained on his back with no assistance, never checking on him while he's possibly aspirating or concussed from the fall, definitely struggling for air is attempted murder.

If the tables were turned and the cop was the victim, you would see at least 13 attempted murders, one for each punch and at least one for the mace to the face, and say every single one justifies killing the perpetrator. You are so transparent and hypocritical.

How do I know what?

Oh....you think? But let me guess, the guy had it coming for not submissively complying, and that justifies the cop going too far on four separate occasions....he should have immunity, civil and criminal, and so should the sheriff office.
Too bad so sad for the victim....right?

🤦‍♂️

This Attempted Murder.????????????
How do you know ?

Yea the cop went to far.

Hurricane Laura Destroys Controversial Confederate Statue

newtboy says...

What in the Fuck is a "police jury" and why would they have any input on the decision at all?

BLM, take note. May the next storm topple any confederate monuments to treason in your area, even if the winds are only 20mph. If the power is out, there's no video proving the wind didn't take them down, right? (Hint hint)

How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster

Asmo says...

Understood, but I was talking about after it had landed, then toppled. Should have been clearer. ; )

Most rocket systems have a self-destruct because it is better if it explodes in the air than on the ground.

Unexpected surprise sitting in bike path

"One word says it all. Asian"

coolhund says...

I was actually talking about Trump at that moment.
Obama never founded ISIS. He helped create them, just like Bush.
And Obama helped Al Qaida, too, to topple Assad, with all the weapons, training and money they got. Directly or indirectly.

Payback said:

I think you're just being silly.


He FOUNDED ISIS, he never helped al Qaida.

Sheesh.

Never turn your back on a cat...

newtboy says...

Really, we have her because she's just trouble. An elderly couple had her as a small kitten, and she would stalk and viciously attack them, nearly toppling the man repeatedly, and they had to get rid of her for safety.
I didn't help by play fighting with her as a kitten either.
Yeah, there's no stopping the offending behavior at this point. I've tried for years to no avail. She also seems to think I'm nuts and I just go off on her for no reason....clearly attacking me is long standing accepted behavior, so what's my problem?

yellowc said:

Hmmm did you play with your hands and feet in the kitten age? It's quite difficult to stamp that out later on

We were mostly very strict but couldn't resist playing under the sheets as a kitten. There's zero chance of disciplining her now when she does it to our covered feet, I tried for a while but she just can't comprehend it. There's no connection between that act which she thinks is 100% ok and my attempt at discipline. As far as I can tell, she just thought I was batshit crazy to start up at her for no reason.

Demolitions Gone Very Wrong

Putin Tells Everyone Exactly Who Created ISIS

vil says...

The foreign policy of both Russia and the US is far more motivated by domestic policy than "imperialism" or "cold war tactics".

Putin just needs to appear to be winning. Winning wars, media arguments, just winning anything. Crossword competitions, ice hockey games, fishing, push-ups, literally anything. With not much to be gained in Ukraine quickly, he can switch to helping Assad to quash rebels and appear to fight the IS. Russian air support and logistics will have small losses and big PR gains. Putin is clever so he will avoid direct confrontation with the IS leading to a long stalemate and much destruction, in Iraq mainly.

Obama needs to do stupid unworkable things like "spread democracy", "help Israel no matter what", "broker peace in the middle east" and "support 'friends' of the US, some of them as bad as Assad" - its nearly impossible for him to have a sane middle east policy. There is nothing Obama can do in the short term in Syria. He probably cant reconsider his position on Assad and there is no reasonable path to topple Assad gracefully. Also no direct path to fight IS - Turkey will fight Kurds before fighting IS, Israel has to be careful.

Is Iran the key then? Iran is definitely not to be trusted http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/11903290/Eight-of-Irans-womens-football-team-are-men.html

Daredevil Should Be Named Batman

poolcleaner says...

No, the Black Panther is the real Batman of the Marvel Universe. Ultra rich, has cool gadgets, cool vehicles (the quinjet, among other vehicles which could themselves topple all of the governments of the world), and his costume looks like Batman, including the colors black and yellow.

Issue #23 of the Black Panther run in the late '90s even takes this to its logical conclusion when they enter Nightmare's universe and they pay tribute to the likeness of Black Panther to Batman.

The Robin character is Black Panther's US attache, Everett Ross. Totally funny too, because the villain around this time is akin to the Joker and has his own tribute panels to the Joker.

These similarities are on purpose.

And for funsies, who is Logan Wayne?

Cat rescue turns into burlesque -- so much fail it hurts

billybussey says...

It was hard to tell how high it was until it starting toppling slowly.

The cat was like "Are you kidding me! I've dreamed this before...This is a nightmare!"

Truck loses load of heavy paper rolls on the road

AeroMechanical says...

I used to have a job fetching new roles of paper for big industrial printers. As best I can recall, each one contained a 22-inch wide by 90 mile long piece of paper, weighed in the neighborhood of a ton and was strapped to a palette. If you got the wheel of the palette jack stuck in the crack separating the freight elevator from the hallway, it was a problem. If you were unusually clumsy and let one topple over onto its side, it was a very big problem.
