COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Biden Calls Putin, Asks For Ceasefire in Ukraine, Offers Summit in Return

45 comments:

  1. I guess Biden forgot that he called Putin, "killer".

    Would have loved to see Putin's face when he was told good old Joe in on the line.

  4. I can’t stop laughing at him as he reads his notes that someone wrote for him. If he looks up, for even a second, he loses his spot and his train of thought. He is the laughing stock of the world.

  6. It looks like 120,000 Russians lined up on Ukraine border.

    I would not be surprised if the Russians go and will get the whole enchilada.

    Great move on the Democrats forcing a cooperation between China and Russia.

    1. Iranian vessels carrying oil and wheat supplies to Syrian ports will henceforth be escorted through the Mediterranean after exiting the Suez Canal, Iranian and Russian sources reveal. A recent trilateral meeting took place between Russia, Iranian and Syrian officials to find ways of breaking the US and European blockade against Syria.

  8. Interesting:

    Were Iran to attack Israel, Moscow would stand by the Jewish state’s side, a Russian official said this week, days after an Iranian-made drone infiltrated Israel from Syria and was shot down by the IDF.

    “In the case of aggression against Israel, not only will the United States stand by Israel’s side — Russia, too, will be on Israel’s side,” Russian Deputy Ambassador to Israel Leonid Frolov said. “Many of our countrymen live here in Israel, and Israel in general is a friendly nation, and therefore we won’t allow any aggression against Israel.”

  9. Interesting times:

    ..."Israel's careful position in the US-China jostling could be at risk. At the moment, the US is Israel's greatest strategic ally and the countries share values and interests, which means that Jerusalem remains much closer to Washington than Beijing. At the same time, Israel has a robust economic relationship and a partnership in innovation with China."

    JERUSALEM — A missile launched from Syria was fired into southern Israel early Thursday, setting off air raid sirens near the country's top-secret nuclear reactor, the Israeli military said. In response, it said it attacked the missile launcher and air-defense systems in neighboring Syria.

    The incident, marking some of the most serious violence between Israel and Syria in years, pointed to potential Iranian involvement.

    2. Joe from Scranton looked in good form today. He did his version of a march out of the White House today with no one in sight. He wore his snappy aviators and a black face mask.

      Then, with no sign of irony, Joe announced it was now Ok to go outside without a mask.

His getting out of the Paris Accords and yet lead the USA to BEAT all proscribed goals? Was that not great?

    1. ash: I fail to see the connection with The GREAT President Trump's accomplishments, rather I see a pathetic attempt of Rules for Radicals. So playing by your rules? According to Planned Parenthood's 2019 Annual Report, it committed 345,672 abortions that year. But it also distributed 593,586 "emergency contraception" kits that year, So when they are filmed celebrating the sale of fetus parts and how much they would make how does that make you feel about YOUR heroes? https://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/2020/10/unsealed-sworn-testimony-shows-planned-parenthood-lied-to-congress-about-fetal-tissue-sales/

    3. illegal, not legal immigrants come to the USA with no previous vaccinations, bringing in TB, POLIO, CHINESE FLU AND STDS. Couple that with medical conditions they are overwhelming the medical system.

      where do these illegals settle? In mostly Democrat URBAN centers where they are effecting mostly people of color (black and brown) citizens...

      Once must ask, Why do the Democrats do this?

  21. A Taste from the same article in the Post:

    WRATH

    New Yorkers have always taken pride in not suffering fools gladly, but 2020 must have been the angriest year on record. If every police killing within a 2,000-mile radius could potentially lead to days of rioting in New York, though, we seem to have reached a whole new basal level of anger. As for daily, nonpolitical rage, that’s off the charts: after a nauseating 97 percent increase in shootings last year, crime is still going up. Last week in the city, there were 50 people shot in 46 separate incidents over seven days, up from 12 shootings in the same week last year.

  25. A Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention press conference held in Beijing on Thursday, Wu Zunyou revealed the "Indian variant" had been found in "some Chinese cities," without elaborating.

    The news has sparked intense discussion online about stricter border controls amid the five-day Labor Day break beginning Saturday.

    Interesting that the Chinese and their leftist flaks in Canada ,USA and Europe freak out when you mention "Chinese Covid"but have no problem with the "Indian" variant.

  26. I hope we can agree that the DOJ and FBI ,raiding Rudy Giuliani's apartment, is a new low for Washington.

    Rudy is a genuine American Hero, and a patriot and yet these low life, jawohl FBI agents, just following orders of course , disgrace themselves and the dual sewer agencies in which they willingly serve.

    I take that back. The two federal sewer agencies are deeper in the shit hole of contempt than is comprehenible to me.

    Kenyatta remains the permanent stain on this late once great republic..

    The DOJ and FBI are irreparable. Re-branding is not the answer. Unfortunately, both agencies serve the same master class who control DC and the master class is not leaving town.

    1. 2nd Ex-Trump Lawyer Raided By Feds As Criminal Investigation Intensifies

      In addition to the Wednesday raids by federal authorities at the Manhattan home and office of ex-Trump lawyer and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, federal authorities have also raided the D.C.-area home of Victoria Toensing, a right-wing operative who — among other things — was involved in the failed Trump effort to overturn Joe Biden’s election victory. The raids on both Giuliani and Toensing were connected to an ongoing federal investigation into whether at least Giuliani broke federal law in possible advocacy on behalf of certain overseas interests.

  27. We have to realize that short of surrender to the administrative socialist state there is only one way to fight this. There is no other answer than a militant federalism. If it is Trumpism without Trump, that is ok with me. It is probably necessary.
