Lib. What we need is a country without a minimal wage and legal ownership of nukes.

And agrarianism is cringe.

Ultra-agrarianism...I like the sound of that.

Do we still get awesome things like the B-21 raider and super carriers?

You know, it actually does feel like a lot of politicians are afraid of you. Not Democrats and not actually you, but what you are, i.e. a synthesising mechanism projecting the projections of the opposition back at the politicians themselves.

People like Trump are all about attacking what they think people think the Democrats are doing. You tell us what you think people think the Republicans think.

It reminds me of the Keynesian beauty contest, actually:

We have reached the third degree where we devote our intelligences to anticipating what average opinion expects the average opinion to be

I only gave it a minor perusal. I don’t know Talibi that well. Seems to like to spin conspiracy theories.

Still; I would be concerned about company confidential information being exposed. Why was a laptop holding that “abandoned” at a shop. Usually; a company has their preferred repairs.

Still; there is the “damning” evidence of Hunter arranging a meeting with the exec. Not exactly damning as that stuff happens all the time. Now if there are illogical acceptance of Burisma bids?…worth looking into.

Still isn’t the Post owned by Murdock?

Anyways; I will be curious to the upcoming Hunter investigations. I suspect they will be like the Hillary “investigations”. I expect ohhh how about 52 investigations with no really discoveries?

The fact the Republicans were presenting this as a threat doesn’t really make is sound like a legitimate investigation.

If there was anything to it they'd have used it by now.

South Carolina 1st, Nevada and New Hampshire combined for 2nd, Georgia and Michigan combined for 3rd, then Super Tuesday. The full DNC has to approve it, and the states involved have to be willing to change their schedules.

Doubt the states will play ball, a good chunk are controlled by Republicans who don't care what the DNC wants, and New Hampshire law requires them to be the first primary.

I remember prior to the election Tucker Carlson doing this entire segment on some documents he was being sent from New York that would blow the Hunter Biden case open, it was all about how the documents had gone missing on their way to him, with lines like 'I'm just speculating here, but is it possible the Democratic machine have managed to intercede to stop these documents from getting to me, to you, the voting public?'

Anyway, they arrived, and he never mentioned them again.

They're always doing this 'kraken awakes' stuff, ut always amounts to nothing, but it spreads the idea of conspiracy and corruption ever further, it's all they talk about, that and pedophiles.. ironically they're mostly describing themselves. It's that Trump thing of taking an absolutely true about you into an attack on your opponent.

B-3 Raider.
