With reference to Russia now blaming Europe…

The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

Thanks, Reg!!

Thanks, Reg!

Firstly, “Jake spake” is possibly the coolest signoff line I’ve seen 😎.

Regarding wishing we could all see each other as equals, that’s not how humans evolved. We are an instinctive tribal species, and there’s always “the enemy” somewhere to fight. If you’ve got no-one to fight, you’ll lose your fighting people.

Bernie’s been on top of presenting the right topics in this new Trumpian era:

Is Musk’s behavior obviously oligarchic?

Yes Jake, we have a small break to allow the iced rain to plunge down and glaze the snow, so when the snow returns this evening, it will have a nice new platform to settle on.

I’m leaning towards The Shining, Reg

Thank you, Reg!

I’m in a 24 hour snowstorm in a cabin in the woods. What could possibly go wrong?  😑

(I’m actually caretaking this property, so technically I’m more like Jack Nicholson in The Shining)

If we are talking democratic elections, then no, the USA does not have them, due to the existence of the electoral college system.

Thanks x 3!!  Reg you spoil us 🙂

Re the ‘starting point’ comment. This seems absurd to me, having been born and brought up in Europe, in a country that has thousands of years of history both good and bad.  History moves in waves, each ‘starting point’ having been triggered by earlier event crescendoes. You can’t just pick a reference point in history and call it the ‘starting…[Read more]

You guys beat me to post this insightful video. I’ll just add, Scientology cult creator L Ron Hubbard taught “The best defense is an offense”.

Hey Reg, thank you. Happy Groundhog Day!

2-1/2 minutes, I think from 1996:

Is Thom Hartmann wrong? I keep thinking an oligarchy is in the making. It’s Trump U postdoc time.
