From the YouTube channel operated by her:
"Russian Media Monitor is a fully independent and self-funded project on media literacy and news reporting. It was created on February 25, 2014, in an effort to combat Russian propaganda. It features reporting and analysis by Julia Davis – Investigative Reporter, Russian Media Analyst and Commentator.

"Julia Davis, M.S. is a Columnist for The Daily Beast: https://www.thedailybeast.com/author/julia-davis "

So, this thread's poster is wedded to the sentiment that "Trump Remains Russia's Favorite" and that alone suggests that the thread is essentially a never-Trumper thread, when one looks behind the scenes.

When one considers the Davis focus on Putin and "pals" working on Trump's behalf against Biden, it surely seems that Davis -- and by extension -- those busy spreading her "message" are also working for Biden against Trump. For so does Daily Beast's Julia Davis.

Most of the FR Ukie-supporting neocons have a history of NeverTrumping.

It's just how they roll.

I’d repeat Reagan and say it’s two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.

Still at it.

The Ukies burned up an ATACMS missile on a strike on civilians in Donetsk yesterday. They have to keep reminding the ethnic Russians there that even though they're safe from Ukrainian artillery now, the Ukie terrorists will get at them one way or another.

Even at the cost of wasting a missile they could have used on Crimea.

Democracy devolves into tyranny

Socialism just bypasses it to tyranny up front

The Founding Fathers were universally convinced democracy does not work.

The Founding Fathers created the Articles of Confederation, a union of friendship and cooperation between free, sovereign, and independent states.

Their plan was such a weak federal government that it could not consolidate power. It had neither an executive, nor a judicial branch. It was totally resistant to change without unanimous consent.

The Framers (of the Constitution) were not the same as the Founders who came before them. The Framers ditched the original union and created a new one. When Washington was inaugurated, there was a union of eleven states which did not include North Carolina or Rhode Island.

The original constitution had multiple safeguards against it.

Obviously not enough, or not good enough. The Hamiltonians won. Consolidation of power in the Federal government was the plan of the Hamiltonians.

It was working perfectly until 1920 when we passed the 19th amendment allowing women to vote.

No, it wasn't working perfectly. The 14th Amendment reversed the relationship of the States and the Federal government. The 16th Amendment undid the restrictions on the taxing power put in place by the Framers. The 17th Amendment undid the original plan of government, converting the Senate into a House with six year terms, and leaving no Federal representation of the State legislatures. Even before the 16th Amendment, the Lincoln administration gave us greenbacks, an unapportioned income tax, and the Internal Revenue Bureau (now Service) to enforce the then-unconstitutional tax.

The Constitution before the "Progressive Era" reforms was not sustainable.

The American People needed a reason to be vested in the government. So that's why we passed all those amendments. They were flawed, yes.

The government of the Progressive Era is $35T in debt and is unsustainable.
