(No wonder Dylan made that song, "Estonia when you're trying to be so good..."!)
HOORAY Estonia!
One propaganda line Putin’s proxies are advancing in Europe is that these migrants must be left in and America must be blamed for them.
That's where the DNC gets so many of its marching orders.
I read through the 70+ pages of the Manafort indictment and what shocked me the most was how blatant the Skadden/Gregory Craig being given over 4 million dollars of dirty Russian money to sell their reputation was.
I have now realized that this will not be what people discuss because the left wing partisan press will not touch it because Craig was Obama’s White House counsel and the right wing press won’t touch it because Trump tweeted saying Manafort is a stand up guy and the press free of these partisan leanings is afraid of Skadden - a huge law firm.
Yet dropping 4 million just to buy a celebrity law firm reputation supported lie means that with a mere billion they can buy 250 such highly supported lies.
A positive solution I can think here is to change the environment so that the big law firms would think twice before selling their reputation for a mere 4 millions, so that means changing the 30 second goldfish memory of people.
Cutting throats also works -- I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course.
Let’s try my proposal of shaming them first. Not that I think it’s better or me being a better thinker or anything, but if we do your proposal first then we can’t really try shaming them after.
What about this -- "hey, quit bleeding all over your shirt and the floor, pig-pen!" ;^)
I am not even old. I am in my early forties and you’re making me to be the voice of calm and reason while advocating (literally) cut-throat policies.
The world has turned upside down.
I'm glad you're around then. :^)
You’re so god damn smooth. In my youth and inexperience I get angry about the fucking Russians. I think German history can explain it. They’re unapologist commie scum, but they have their myths and propaganda like the Germans after the WW1. The Russians think they were bees knees and then a traitor Gorbachev made reforms. Stabbed in the back myth. Just like the Germans before Hitler.
Quite so. The difference between them is, Germany's self-aware, and Russia's not very -- probably has to do with the Russian transition from feudal poverty to 5 year plan poverty to mafia-style strongman rule poverty. Even during the Wars, Germany was still worried about the cost of stuff, and of course has centuries of a free market approach to reality. Russia doesn't, hasn't, probably never will. Anyway, have a great Thanksgiving. I plan to do that by NOT watching NFL football.
