It's amazing that the rapist is still inside the rape victim, and people are still debating if and how to respond to the rapist.

"If it's not about oil and it's not about "drug terrorists" (because that's obviously a lie) then what is it really about?"

"It's laughable to consider Joe Biden's presidency off limits for examination."

Sure, but starting with the premise that "Biden had dementia and others were actually calling the shots without his knowledge" and then using some dubious allegations to come to a circular logic conclusion isn't really an examination, is it?

Lack of Official Count: There is no official public record of the exact number of times any president has used an autopen, making precise comparisons difficult. The claims about Biden's frequency come from partisan analyses.

Even if the frequency did increase greatly, it doesn't "prove" anything about a President's mental capacity or whether or not he was aware of or authorized its use. There are questions that can be raised in good faith about this, but frankly this comes across like when Republicans were all constantly mimicking the partisan talking points about how concerning it was how many "czars" Obama had appointed, and how that supposedly "proved" he was foreign Communist or something, when it was actually a nothingburger.

This is why we can't have nice things.

"....said the mindless drone..."

IKYABWAI! ...said Peewee Herman.

It's sad that some people can't comprehend that not everything is about oil. It's an oversimplification, at best.

"This is more proof that Biden was not in charge, due to dementia. Certain unelected members of his team were calling the shots. He may believe that he authorized all of those auto pen signatures but it's because he doesn't remember. The man has dementia."

Do you actually believe this, or are you just wind certain people on this site up?

Nietzsche had some wise words about staring into the abyss...

"Electronic signing and auto pen are completely different things."

How so?

Rule #1 - don't sheet where you eat.
Rule #2 - don't be so arrogant as to think everything is about you.

Humans seem to have trouble with both of these rules. But yet, we'll probably still survive and adapt for a long time.

We live in a deterministic world, as much as we like to believe in the illusion of free will.

"Because Bayer bought them"

I was not aware of that. I remember Monsanto being the news a lot during the Bush and Obama administrations. It makes sense if they were rebranded.

Bayer has always been a controversial company. Although I still get a kick out of the reference to it one Alice Cooper's more obscure songs:

I balance my Excedrin
And Anacins in stacks
I'm a pain reliever junkie
I got a Bayer on my back.

I'm sure some contractor is probably charging taxpayers millions of dollars per letter for each change.

Istanbul is one of the places on my bucket list that I'd like to visit one day. So much history and culture. It was once called "the eye of the world".

The only issue I might have is with all the cats.

Remember a little while back someone posted an article about an archeological find in Peru where tens of thousands of children were found to have been ritually sacrificed and buried? That was their response to climate change at the time.

#5- Can't tell if you're doing a parody of a mindless drone, or actually being one.

Well, now we know MyDead's nationality...

"what a ------- genius response"

I'm not condoning or advocating for it, but it does make more strategic sense than you and others here are willing to admit. Venezuela is Russia's most important trading ally in Latin America and is openly allied with Putin. They are also one of the least popular countries in LatAm, due to the mass migration of refugees caused by Maduro.

Well, that's one way to reduce the wealth gap.

I have one question: why was Minnesota's Social Services System being stored on Tim Walz's watch? You would think it'd would've been on a secure server somewhere.

Dang, I haven't heard that company's name in years.

CaspianReport made some really good points about the U.S. actions in Venezuela. It's not about oil or drugs, it's about power. It's a response to BRICS aggression, particularly Russia and China's disingenuous pandering to the 'global south', which neither are actually a part of but love to exploit, and their new "multi-polar" world order.

'Hegseth attributed the strike to the "fog of war" '

So we're officially at war now?

It's all just posturing, similar to the virtue signaling on the left. Of course, the extremes are shameless about the fact they mirror each other.

*cue "both sides" snark*

Yes, damn right both sides.

Most Americans just want sane people running the country, not partisan asshats with extreme agendas.

Gotta make those quotas...

Correction: Costco sues taxpayers for full refund of tariffs. Trump won't pay a cent, even if they win.

"And yes, I understand that inhaling hot vapors from just about anything is bad for your lungs."

Indeed, especially those vaporizer air fresheners.
