top of the heap to third world status in one generation

[Three Berries]

He was pointing out the hypocrisy of Three Berries post about Defunding law enforcement being a progressive tenet.

It most certainly is a progressive's tenet in Chitcatgo. There is no other political side.....

And Trump is just stirring up shit with that statement. Sure would not want to defund Durham!

 

[Jellyfish]

M'kay.

Sure would not want to defund Durham!

"I think we're going to have to wait until Mr. Durham finishes his report, which should be relatively soon," Garland said.

Raise your hand if your happy Jon Stewart is back and angry.

Neat to see the clip is from CSPAN.

hey well i'm from the third world and i live here, or second i'm not sure, more specifically just south of uncle sam. ha ha
There is no such thing, there is only one fucking world, that is, obviously there is a lot of other but we only live here, together with the little spiders, the dolphins, the chestnuts, the covid, the platypus, and the mushrooms.
And the only thing that differentiates us "third world" humans from you "first world" humans, apart from money and a series of comforts, is that our history is linked to the most screwed up side of the colonial experience, that is reflected in our rotten institutions (it's not that your institutions are less rotten, they just smell better), the violence, our social hierarchies, etc.


Don't take it personally friends, but so that you could live your lives relatively comfortable, entire societies lived in discomfort, or at least that is the discourse that the CIA used to carry out coups, to destroy everything that smacked of social change. in Latin America (or if you are European, in Africa, ask Lumbumba)

So I do not know. It seems to me that the scenario you fear is my daily life and that of the people around me. On the other hand, I don't know, the Native American reservations in the USA don't seem very "first world" to me.

On a human level I can empathize, I suppose, with the uncertainty of the ordinary gringo, the feeling that something you took for granted in your life is slipping away (I miss you... sniff, sorry flashbacks)... on a level geopolitical not so much.

It doesn't matter anyway, environmental collapse will come sooner and perhaps that will show that there are no first or third worlds, just one, and perhaps our deformed mutant descendants will build fairer and more balanced societies, in the post-Anthropocene nuclear wasteland

Very good post.
However, we’re not responsible for your colonial experiences. Cortez sucked. The mess never got cleaned up.

Sinking ship, SS America. The marxists are accelerating the decline, and the world is moving on without her.

I like the part about the USofA won't be able to borrow/finance the war with China. Xiden is blowing what's left of the wad in Ukraine.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Can you please provide a clear definition of the group that you refer to as "the Marxists"?

It's very difficult to follow you and your diatribe.

I'm confused about whether or not you are referring to China as "the Marxists"... mainly because you don't make any sense.

The US is not at war in the Ukraine.

You must huff some strong glue.

So, let's review:

Tennessee gets rid of democratic representatives for doing their jobs.
Kansas passes a bill which includes genital inspections for female athletes of all ages
Idaho makes transporting a minor across state lines for abortion procedures a felony.

Freedom is really working out well lately.

just wait until they start using this new decision from Texas citing the Comstock act so that dejoy can go through our mail

It's devolving and there's a lot of support for getting back to backwards.

I thought it had potential. Had he pointed out that the death of Patrice took place during the transfer of power from one administration to another, and in the same time period the agency was attempting to take out the leader of France, one could see that JFK stepped into a well-planned and hellish position.
JFK told the French, that he had no knowledge of, or control over what was happening.
Had our new poster been able to say that it sure did appear that the United States was being
run by forces other than the President, I would have thought it a fine post.
Your description of responsibility was amusing.

Our new poster shared that he was uncertain about the place he lived.
I can relate to that. I felt that way most of my days.
I rather hope that he returns, it would be most interesting to go over the history of
US military intel involvement with Mexico.
There is much of our history that the powers that be, would rather we never know.

This thread is amusing.

OR....they can show a birth certificate, like lots of other shit requires. don't think those can be "amended" whether you have the surgery or not. in most places, you have to have a birth certificate to enroll your child in school. i know that Tennessee does...

 

[mean mr.mustard]

This thread is amusing.

I know that some whistle past the graveyard but all I could think about was Joe Pecsi... Pesci... Presbyterian ?? I'm going with my cousin Vinny.

Anyway the clown in Goodfellas asking if Henry thought he was amusing like a clown just kept playing in my head when I read your post.

 

[h.h.]

The thread started as a cut and paste of the daily news. Until it became a sticky. Then the attention turned to everything in the world that’s wrong being the result of the our CIA’s interference. Everything America has ever done being evil. With the exception of the O.P. The result of an American blaming the rest of America because things aren’t ran their way. Oh what a perfect world it would be if we only believed all this bullshit. It sure ain’t a perfect world. I don’t live in a perfect country, but I ain’t buying it. It’s just Sad Sack.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Oh.

I thought you were entertained.

I don't know how to tapdance, want to see me try?
