Re: Ukraine. There does seem to be a contingent of people that really desire an escalation - an all out war with Russia. Are they desiring a nuclear exchange?. I’m sure Dick Cheney knows who they are. Along with Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, Lindsey Graham, et al.

I still contend that if people had to write checks to the government every quarter, to pay their taxes, things would be a lot different in this country.

Both of Kamala’s parents have PhD’s - in economics (if you care to consider Marxism, economics). I worked as a blue collar worker, grew up around blue collar workers and never once met a person with a PhD. Even after I became a mechanical engineer, and had met plenty of PhD’s, none of them were economists. Not saying it isn’t possible, it just seems like Kamala’s story is highly unlikely. Especially the bit about how she lived in the same neighborhood as all these blue collar workers.

There’s a video of Kamala’s ‘blue collar’ neighborhood in Montreal. It certainly doesn’t come close to resembling any neighborhood I frequented in my childhood. It does resemble the upper crust neighborhoods that have walls and gates around them. The kind of neighborhood where you won’t find street people shooting up drugs, leaving their litter, make shift tents, stolen shopping carts everywhere.

I just wonder how many of us could have done better in that debate? How could you hold your temper when the moderators are ganging up on you, only fact checking your answers - with lies. The whole thing was rigged and the whistleblower has the receipts.

Oh, I see. A blue collar worker isn’t considered middle class? Even though we liked to have nice lawns?
