I been very clear the points and claims you make are crazy garbage.

Is this a good one?:

Wait. You mean Trabis McGee posts since last year assuring us that Germans would freeze this winter, that they ain’t true? Travis, what happened dude?

The dude has checked out. Trav has not posted in 11 days. Perhaps he is visiting Russia, the anti-globohomo land of his dreams.

Well I’m glad you see the basis for the points and claims I’m making. It’s not just hate Germany love Russia. I love neither. I love liberty, capitalism and individual rights. I do not like the state - whether Russian, German, American or whatever.

Are you an open borders libertarian? I remember they all were open borders 15-20 years ago. Also for legalizing all drugs.

No to open borders. No to most immigration. And i’m an immigrant. A nation is still sovereign regardless of liberties of its citizens within its borders. Drugs I do support legalization in principle - liberty is personal choice even if dangerous. I don’t like nor consume drugs, I barely drink.

However the practicalities of legalizing all drugs are difficult. There needs to be protection of minors especially from drugs that are also poisons - I don’t support freedom of drug dealers to poison people with impure drugs. Obviously that’s a use of force by fraud. Fentanyl for example is a deadly and lethal poison. So while I support legalization in principle for consistency I don’t know how it is to be done in a practical sense. I’m not a lawyer or statesman.

You are the one raging “as I said” like a Putinbot.

Am I supposed to celebrate a simpleton spammer?

Trav was recalled back to Russia for some Manchurian Candidate style re-programming. He’ll be back here in a few weeks.

I wonder what will be the next Kremlin propaganda he will repeat.

First it was NATO expansion, then biolabs, then Nazis, then Jewish Nazis, then Jewish Nazi zombies, then Jewish Nazi drug addict zombies.

Then Europe freezing. Then silence

Just my observation: It Wasn’t too cold where I’m at, but it’s a fair distance from Berlin.

I have been on Free Republic since 03, but lurked long before that. I have seen the level of discourse sink as the trolls latched on. There were posters who really knew an issue and could amaze me with their knowledge of a topic, and defend their position through rational arguments. Today, anything about the Ukraine war quickly devolves to the “you are, no, you are” level of monkey feces tossing at the Berlin Zoo.

I’m just not sure what motivates the trolls on both sides of the Ukraine issue, they are annoying to me because I used to get news and analysis here quickly and succinctly...now it requires wading through the crap to find anything worth actually reading.

Regards,
Sad thing is, this used to be the site I came to first.

No doubt. I remember being half way scared to even post anything back then, because there was a good chance you would be PROVEN wrong, quickly, if you weren’t careful LOL.

I have gone back and looked at some of the threads from way back when on occasion, just search for Common Tator, Sabertooth, or someone else you remember, just to get a reminder.

I think the collapse of knowledge and critical thinking is happening everywhere, though, not just here. Sadly.

The German Chancellor Sholtz says there is enough energy for the winter which obviously includes the cold.

If you have information to the contrary then I would appreciate you sharing it rather than the Putin Stooge comment that “it hasn’t been cold yet”.

There are different ways to Troll in a thread. One way is to make a garbage Putin Stooge statement like "It hasn't been cold yet", which I very quickly PROVED to be wrong.

Well, well, first time I’ve ever been called a troll in 20 years on this board. What fun!

Your response illustrates my comments regarding civil discourse very nicely, danke. Calling me a “garbage Putin Stooge” makes no sense if you’d taken 30 seconds to look at my profile page and posting history...like, you know, doing some research before taking your shot...

So Comrade, how do you “prove” cold? It is a subjective observation. What is “cold” to you in Berlin (assuming that is your location) may not be “cold” to me in my corner of the Federal Republic. To me, it feels like it’s been rather a mild winter thus far. Certainly not near as cold as some winters I’ve spent in Germany, but there’s more winter to go.

Have a Putin-loving day!

Actually I called your lie "Hasn’t been cold yet..." - "a garbage Putin Stooge statement".

One does not need be a garbage Putin Stooge to make a garbage Putin Stooge statement. You could have simply not thought better of posting such garbage. That is why I asked what your issue is with making such a Putin Stooge garbage comment about Germany having enough energy for the winter.:

Maybe you can explain to me why some people are emotionally disturbed by that fact?
You conveniently didn't answer, like a Putin Stooge covering his tracks, you instead start lecturing me about trolls.

Answer the question, why are Putin Stooges on this forum so upset with the idea that Germany has sufficient energy for the winter which obviously includes cold weather???

There is a reason but you can't give it.

Cold is freezing cold with snow and ice like we already had. But which doesn't matter because Germany has enough energy for the winter cold. Why is that a problem for you?

if you’d taken 30 seconds to look at my profile page and posting history...like, you know, doing some research before taking your shot...
That's funny Mr Putin Stooge who can't explain why you are sided with the Russian Terrorists against a freezing to death Germany. Instead of wasting my time with your posting history (30 seconds? are you an AI? LoL) you could have simply answered my question about Germany having energy:
Maybe you can explain to me why some people are emotionally disturbed by that fact?
Since you are too ignorant to do a real 30 seconds of research before making your garbage Putin Stooge statement, then here it is: 1/3 of winter is over and gas storage level in Germany is 88.70%.

What kind of "subjective cold" (freezing is an absolute and not subjective) do you expect in the next 8 weeks that will deplete Germany energy storage when after 1/3 of winter the storage is at 88 percent? LoL!

Have a Putin-loving day!
Sorry I just ruined your Putin Stooge day with facts I found in 30 seconds that you were too lazy to look for yourself.

Another fun fact I just came across, doing another 30 seconds of research, for the the sad Putin Stooges that Germans will not be freezing to death:
If temperatures fall below 0 degrees Celsius, Germany would drain 1% of its storage per day, meaning the current reserve would be enough, Habeck said.
You are welcome!
