They have two major strategies left to them: lying and treason.<br /><br />Read some Thucydides. Oligarchic factions are actually more friendly to oligarchies in other states than they are to their own people. Their loyalty is not to their own state, but to an international class of rich people. Oligarchies are always betraying their own countries. What's odd is that, in this country, they have managed to paint themselves as the party of patriotism. But they aren't. <br />Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630222099564418320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-26792052328605916682016-12-11T16:46:28.016-06:002016-12-11T16:46:28.016-06:00Batman 54; I think Mad Dog Mattis is perfectly ca...Batman 54; I think Mad Dog Mattis is perfectly capable of saying what you quote him as saying, and carrying out that solution.

James Mattis, soon to be secretary of defense: "Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they're so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact." If the quote is indeed from the General, Senate Republicans may want to re-consider his confirmation as Sec. of Defense.Batman 54https://www.blogger.com/profile/16774089520987496872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-86912613175058693262016-12-10T16:33:43.570-06:002016-12-10T16:33:43.570-06:00Ugh.

A foreign government, and Russia of all fucking places, tampered with our democratic election, and half this country is fine with it. It's Un-American is what it is. I'm definitely 'shaming' people about that, Trump voters are hearing about this one, in straight-forward terms.proverbialleadballoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592049897382920314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-61156403731256926612016-12-10T10:44:53.654-06:002016-12-10T10:44:53.654-06:00This seems like the world of Ghost in the Shell This seems like the world of Ghost in the Shell Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966558261115085678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-65473831865751192012016-12-10T10:41:55.568-06:002016-12-10T10:41:55.568-06:00One of the most disheartening things regarding the...One of the most disheartening things regarding the non-disclosure of Russian interference back last September is that faced with the following situation at that briefing with the Gang of 12:<br /><br />1) All intelligence agencies agree that Russia is involved and specifically trying to help Trump. All except (Republican) James Comey of the FBI who waffles.<br /><br />2) All Dems (Obama team + 6/6 Dems in Gang of 12) agree this needs to go public. 3 or 4 of 6 Repubs think it should be disclosed, but 2 or 3 think it shouldn't including Mitch McConnell who threatens Obama with painting it as "partisan" should he announce this. McTurtle who literally on Day 1 of Obama's term held a meeting to hamstring him and make him a "one term President." Oh, and now his wife gets to be a Cabinet member. <br /><br />3) Agencies disclose at least two states had their electronic voting machines and/or databases hacked by Russia. This a September briefing, but the hack was discovered a month earlier in August. <br /><br />4) Comey not only keeps the FBI lid/skepticism as to the Russia leaks, but then discloses (probably illegally; Hatch Act) the Wiener emails one week before the election. <br /><br />I'm sorry, I really admire Obama and worked to get him elected. But his not standing up to McConnell & Comey (I don't care if he thought Hillary would win anyway, no excuse) is so gutless and sniveling, so much acting like a "house negro" (and yes, I know the implications of that term). After eight fucking years of Republicans knifing him in the back at every turn, he "takes the high road" and doesn't want to make them look bad regarding Russia helping them in the election? Sweet Jesus in the morning.<br /><br />Yeah fine, Harry Reid is upset this morning on MSNBC. BFD. Our country, our democracy is at risk, and has already been severely hurt by this. Yes, Repubs are traitors, Mammon-worshippers, and fake "Christians." But the Dem leadership deserves my scorn as well for being such gutless cowards. And I will pay the price for their cowardice. <br />Habitat Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745175381261470890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-6076855512415004742016-12-10T07:50:10.897-06:002016-12-10T07:50:10.897-06:00And, naturally, this story about the greatest trea...And, naturally, this story about the greatest treason since the secession of the Slavery States breaks on a Friday night.
