#2 No other power has spent the 21st century killing people by the millions in wars of aggression. No other power is circling the planet with hundreds of military bases and working continuously to destroy any government which disobeys it. No other power is starving entire populations with economic sanctions, military blockades and brazen theft. No other power has been interfering in foreign elections anywhere near as often. No other power is terrorizing populations around the world with wars, covert ops, drone strikes, proxy conflicts, and staged coups and uprisings. No other power is using its military, economic, diplomatic and media dominance to bully the world into serving its interests.

Sugarplum,

Two things:

First, we've saved far more lives than we've taken. Lives that were put at risk in the first place by deranged religions and megalomaniac political philosophies.

Second, you really don't want us to go away.

Mike

#3 In this current madness with our own Uncle Joe, I have to wonder what thousands of US heroes buried in Europe fought for.

#4 Note - We just wanted to be left alone and let the powers to be kill themselves. However the Zimmerman Telegram and that surprise party at Pearl Harbor told us you wanted our attention. We even fully demobilized at the end of WW2, but Uncle Joe decided to play dangerous games like coups and blockades. As a consequence YOU dragged us back into the whole mess that was the world. Then again, if it wasn't for the Americans who would you blame for all your failures and chaos you've been engaged in for centuries.

#5 My source of optimism is that while the dems monkey around with social stuff, they have not killed off the Columbia class subs, B-21 Raiders, next gen GBSD and new nuke ALCMs. Seems like an indicator that someone is still thinking long term.

#6 Biden's approval rating is 38 percent, which can hardly be called "with what the majority of Americans are thinking". By Karine Jean-Pierre's definition, that makes Biden an extremist.

She could say that Biden received the majority of votes in 2020 which is doubtful but, even if it is true, that was then. The polls show how Americans feel now after two years of watching him in the White House and it's pretty clear the majority do not agree with him. That's why, with midterm elections looming and Democrats about to lose seats in Congress, Biden resorts to inflammatory language. Clearly, he is hoping for violence.

So he calls at least half the voters in this country fascists which is a particularly hateful slur. One could assert that Biden is inciting violence himself just by using that term. If I went into a black neighborhood and starting calling everybody the N-word, that could certainly be considered looking for trouble. Nobody would have much sympathy for me and I wouldn't deserve it.

I am a Republican, not a fascist. I consider the term "fascist" every bit as hateful as the N-word.

But now is the time for Republicans to refrain from violence because Democrats will blow any little incident into a major propaganda victory just like they did with Charlottesville at the beginning of Trump's term. I would not be the least bit surprised if Democrats initiate violence in the hope that Republicans respond with violence. False flag incidents will probably take place as well. Mainstream media outlets will make no mention of Democrat provocations. They will not say who started the fight, only that those fascists were violent. With the midterms coming, we can't afford to give them that kind of victory.

I'd like to say "turn the other cheek" and at first, I probably will. But I don't want to end up like the Republican in the graphic either.

#7 Joe's hunt for fascists reminds me of OJ's hunt for the real killers.

#8 My hope is that the extreme rhetoric written for the Puppet Show telepromter is based on the panic derived from the internal polling at the DNC and Kalorama Kompound. I trust that they see devastating losses, far beyond the 5-8% of cheating they ordinarily rely upon.

Since they have nothing by way of actual accomplishments from two years of lockdows, lies, economic stagnation, military failure and looting the treasury and paying off friends, both foreign and domestic, they have to run on panic and reducing the entire conservative part of the population into "Orange-Man People Bad!" Given the decline in public trust for the MSM, even that tactic has far lessened power I suspect.

Finally, the symbolic fortress theme, red lighting opening for the latest Kabuki Theater speech by Jojo, with Marines coming out from gate and crisply saluting the Twit and Twitess as he then marched out to read insults and threats and act angry was theatrical overkill. And a precedent breaking act to politicize the US Military, a first so low even the Magic Kenyan never tried it. So I trust we don't get suckered into reaction to bolster their Hail Mary efforts to blunt the Red Wave looming....

#9 I'm guessing they want a reaction from nationalist conservatives. Nationalists are the enemy to them because they're Globalist flunkies basically. So, I reckon they want an uprising. Or a series of even mildly aggressive reactions so they don't have to make up their own, to justify their purge.

And then they're coming.

#10 because Democrats will blow any little incident into a major propaganda victory

Yes, but Democrats need an incident to turn it into a victory. A total supression of all rights and amendments. They must have realized they can't pull off this Dominion and mule thing again and again. They need to prove physical dominance and monopoly on coercion. For that they need a catalyst which they think the stupid Trumpers will give them.

It's a real conundrum. Do nothing, they do it to you. Do something, they do it to you faster. And if people wait on tenterhooks long enough someone is bound to fcuk up.

#11 Caitlin Johnstone’s About is fascinating. Or exactly what one would expect, anyway. Trained journalist who didn’t want to sell out to The Man, Australian, activist at the left end of communism, Bernie Sanders supporter, married to a man who in 2016 escaped from the madness that is America. An anti-capitalist who holds her hand out at the bottom of the articles she publishes daily, hoping that people will give her money.

Naturally she believes that Republicans are dangerous extremists, They stand between her and the future she desires for her children.

#12 "I'm guessing they want a reaction from nationalist conservatives." even if the FBI has to create one.
