| Ann Coulter: Dem Nightmare: What if the War Ends Before November? | |
| 2022-03-18 | |
The media are thrilled with the possibility of nuclear war with Russia. Catastrophes are terrific for ratings, and flood-the-zone coverage of a war between two faraway countries that has almost zero effect on the lives of most Americans allows journalists to act like deep-think, geopolitical strategists (after having quickly looked up “Ukraine” on Wikipedia). They dragged out the COVID panic porn for two straight years. By now, the only people still interested in pandemic updates are hysterical liberal women in Manhattan claiming to have “long-haul COVID.” The national pastime has segued seamlessly from watching TV anchors cry on TV about the coronavirus to watching TV anchors cry on TV about the fate of Ukrainian children. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but the media’s obsessive focus on Ukraine is terrific for the interests of the Democratic Party. Recall that, in his 2012 book, Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind, then-UCLA professor Tim Groseclose demonstrated that media bias alone costs Republicans about 8 to 10 percentage points in elections. And that was 2012. One can only imagine what it is in post-Trump 2022. If only we could return to the junior varsity media bias of 2012! | |

| #13 The notion that Joe Biden would actually assume the role of Commander-In-Chief in a possible nuclear war ought to be a sobering thought for people. So-called journalists who are beating the drums of war ought to start acting like adults and use their fu#king brains. |

| #12 The important aspects of the Yugo is that it's cheap garbage, thus fitting symbol for Biden. |

| #11 A Yugo is famous for being the only vehicle ever blown off the Mackinac Bridge. Due to its heavy battery, the electric Yugo promises to be more wind resistant. |

| #10 I drove a Yugo once. It was more like a Won'tgo. |

| #9 Biden will probably get some Democrat donor to create an electric Yugo. That would be the perfect symbol of his presidency. |

| #8 Ref #5: That's the way I see it as well. The Biden crime family and this administration considers Musk a non-person, even though he employs some 50,000 people. |

| #7 Hedge funds are making fortunes now in Russian bonds. The war is total manipulation |

| #6 The conflict(OH I like using that word) is nearly done. Media here spews the usual propaganda. Same people who invested in Covid. The spigot has been turned off to the Democrat swamp critters. Soros, Kerry, DNC, Biden's, Hillary and so on. Now is the time to watch heads explode in DC. Putin finally has got his deep water southern port. The anaconda has and will slowly constrict its hold. |

| #5 But, Besoeker, Bidin hates Tesla, SpaceX and Musk so they can't do quality electrics either. He hates them because they don't do political contributions and Telsa isn't unionized so a Democrat United Auto Workers fleecing Union can't extract $ from them either. |

| #4 No gas guzzling autos made from 1941 thru 1945.....hmmmmm |

| #3 I think again the media is overselling public support for US involvement and the dems internal polls are all over the place, so they are screwed no matter what they do. I think the only safe bet is that they will make the worst choices possible. If the GOPe does not manage to throw the election, they will take up where the current congress leaves off. |

| #2 Full mobilization immediately followed by election postponement.....the conflict could simmer on for several years. The Euro's will need petrol, tires, and ammo. The Chinese can print the ration books and stamps. |
