We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
We could have avoided this. It seems clear that this "war" benefits the administration and Democrats in general as it takes the spotlight off their mishandling of everything. The economy IS going to crash BUT now it will be Putin's fault. China WILL invade Taiwan But now it will be Putin's fault. We are staring into the abyss and the abyss is staring right back at us. I would venture to guess about 90% of the U.S. population has no idea what is about to happen.
Another great video from Greenwald. I've seen several and they are all excellent.
The Democrats' Russia hate-mongering was designed for narrow political gains. It was ginned up purely to try to thwart Trump's presidential hopes in '16 and then to cripple his presidency but there was no way to logically turn it off. It has had a huge negative impact for us nationally as well as the Ukrainians and Russians not to mention anybody else who will caught up in this train wreck. My expectation, and fear, is that we will be dealing with the negative consequences of this conflict for many years to come and it all could have been easily avoided. Biden was either too stupid, too careless, or lacked the motivation to see it. Even Obama was not drawn into the Russia/Ukraine mess which argues that it actually might not be Obama pulling the strings of this administration. It's a flaw in our Constitution that, there is no provision to, in certain circumstances, impeach an entire administration.
So basically the CDC has just declared that Joe Rogan, Ron DeSantis and Rand Paul were right all along.
It is time for a investigation of the CDC and everyone in our government involved in this covid tyranny. And I mean a criminal investigation. If you or I can go to jail for lying to a cop or the FBI than certainly our elected and appointed leaders should go to jail for lying to us.
The worst part of this is we all know that covid was a weaponized virus created by the Chinese to do exactly what it did. Our government knew this from day one but choose to hide this from us and then to use this biological weapon to seize power and they did exactly that. This was never about protecting grandma, it was always about exploiting it to take power. They used covid to change the rules for voting and then used those changes to steal an election. They used that stolen election to destroy our energy dominance, allow an invasion of our Southern borders, to allow and encourage war in Europe AND to destroy our economy. This is the playbook for taking over a large, rich, productive free nation. You have to first bring it to it's knees, divide the citizens and then implement martial law under the guise of saving the country. We are Rome 2.0. China "owns" most of the Democrat leaders today and they are now collecting on that debt.
