You're a Jimmy Dore fan, which makes you even more contemptible than the average Ben Shapiro viewer. You're a leftist who doesn't actually give a single shit about any of the things you purport to care about, but use those issues to attack liberals for not being pure enough in a mission to help conservatives maintain political power.
Nope. Haven't watched Dore in forever. He's on off the rails looney that actually is way more right than supposed left. Oh, and fuck you again.

You’re a stooge alright. Wildcat’s post was great and accurate, but I’m not so sure you’re not just a single issue anti Israel everything, and any other “progressive” points you claim to believe in are just lip service until the next time you can attempt to paint anything as a Zionist conspiracy.
“I didn’t go to RT to find her posts!” Oh, well I didn’t go to Project2025 to read the entire document, so I guess quoting the Heritage Foundation and pushing the Project 20205 talking points I was passed doesn’t make me a stooge! Great news everybody!
fine, i'll go find another progressive that makes the same points. i'm sure they'll be blessed by the anti-russian propaganda concerned. and yeah, genocide would be a stupid single issue for sure. not that i have to justify myself to you, sydney.

Their voters "ran them out." Yes, AIPAC supported their opponents, but they lost in open elections, largely because they did some stupid shit and lost support of a lot of people who had previously voted for them. You notice AOC and Omar didn't lose their primaries, because they're smarter politicians.
I
AOC's speech at the convention and has shown exactly what she is. Another bright eyed who goes in and the system corrupts. But have known that for a while. Calling Pelosi mama bear and caving on so much, well as you note its workign out for her. And Omar is in a unqiuely safe space for the moment.
your entire lifetime (what a surprise, given how it's been made up of selfish and lazy people like you), the right has been better at politics.
angry nonsensical rant
Lulz. I'm selfish and lazy? Because I engaged here? WTF kind of reasoning is that? Who the fuck are you besides some random anonymous online prick? You know nothing about me. What I do or don't do. The one thing you get right is the left is bad at politics. They're fractured and often lack coherent organization. But the money and the two main parties do nothing to help that. And the rest of your random off putting rant is even worse. Go to bed gramps.
And fuck you too while I'm at it.

Wait. Your defense here is that anyone can vary her posts, but you don’t believe the fact that RT doing it on the regular indicates that her opinions/views benefit Russia? Well ok. I guess the fact that RT praises Trump and Tucker Carlson isn’t indicative that Russia believes their views and stances advance their own interests.
No my defense was I didn't go to RT to find her posts. And then I put two articles that are apparently all garbage because there's a line about Ukraine being a US proxy war in there and apparently RT put some of her older stuff up at some point in time. Therefore, all points invalid. OK. I'm a big ol russian stooge.

Also, since I have the russian research crew's attention, could someone let me know real quick if Putin is funding these guys or not? You know, before I become part of the problem and do that electorialism thing.

Speaking of old hits…You’re literally citing someone from RT as a great source a week after the justice department released evidence of RT funneling tens of millions of dollars to push Pro Kremlin narratives. The perpetrators responded with “well I believed those things anyway.”
And here you are on this thread, citing actual authors published on RTs website, and have the temerity to say “well that doesn’t mean they’re pushing Russian narratives” and “well I agree with what this person on RT is saying.”
gosh why would anyone be skeptical of your intentions?
I love the honesty always, Sydney. Appreciate you always engaging in a genuine fashion. I didn't cite or quote RT. I quoted a substack post. RT at times has apparently carried her posts. Which apparenlty anyone is able to do. Thus, I'm a russian influencer pushing a Putin perspective. Like Brisket said, Putin would be against fracking.

Those two sentences back to back are pretty funny. In that upcoming Presidential election which candidate will stop sending arms to Israel.
Has the Pentagon budget gone up or down with bipartisan agreement? I know, Bernie and a couple of others were against it
Was it good or bad that AIPAC ran out two members of 'the squad' recently. Oh wait, that's a Putin thing, right?

Israel: continued strife and division, with both sides at their throats, is what he wants. Each side empowered to cause chaos. So, at least 50% consistent with the clown you cited.
Venezuela: dude. You actually asked that question? He’s team Maduro. Like your clown.
Libya: I don’t know. Almost certainly for “continued chaos, and limited ability to pump oil.”
Pentagon budget: he wants it slashed, just like your clown.
Insider trading by senators: he definitely wants it to be able issue, and he surely doesn’t want it solved. So…50% with your clown.
US fracking: definitely opposed. Like your clown.
Border wall: in favor of a fight about it, so 50% like your clown.
This is not a good look.hey, you answered. where I can find a true honest source on Putin's positions on these issues?
re: fracking--so Putin was for the Green New Deal? Does he like medicare for all?

Yeah…folks like this have such zeal for the “whatever the US’s position is on anything, it’s evil and wrong because it’s the US’s position,” that they necessarily end up advocating for the position of whoever opposes the US. Which has them dismissing/arguing away fucking evil and atrocities (seriously, when you ALWAYS take the same side/position of Putin, that’s a big fucking tell), which tells me that they really DON’T have any guiding principles other than “USA bad.” Fuck that shit.Man, I'm curious.
What's Putin's position on Israel?
How about on Venezuela?
Oooh, what his position on Libya?
How does he feel about our Pentagon budget I wonder. Or insider trading by our leaders. Hmm. Do you think Putin thinks a plutocratic duopoly is the best we can do? Does he like fracking and a border wall?
I need to know so I can know which propaganda is accetable. -

Blaming the US for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is not “accurate.”
I didn't note that in the pieces I read. Closest thing was a line about proxy war.
Do we need to go bit by bit to see if we think its propaganda or not? OK, I'll start.

Come the fuck on man, you've got to have a better bullshit detector.
ETA: "Syria takes reveal a person's character" never fails:
Will look into that article (which doesn't seem sourced) but again nothing I posted was false or russian propaganda. Even if it is the case of a broken clock, those 2 op-ed's are still accurate.
As to the Russian propaganda concerns--when I see Zionist propaganda straight from the top in a candidate's party nomination acceptance speech, I find the concern hypocritical at best. And again, there is also plenty of our own home grown propaganda as well.
But yeah, I'll be more wary about Miss Johnstone. Thanks. -

Unignored you for a second to see what you had to say. My mistake.
You cyring about propaganda is wild and funny. I don't like RT. And w/o digging into those particular thought pieces I don't even know that they are russia propaganda. Or just since they're not pro-US RT felt like they should carry them.
Also note I said I find myself agreeing w/her current writing and the opinion pieces I posted weren't from RT. Also, nothing in those thoughts are "Russian propgadanda" you tool.Side thought--it is interesting how much russia propaganda is cared about here while Israeli propaganda is loved. Ditto multinational corpaganda. Back to ignore you go. You are never worth it, you disengenous war mongering state department stooge.
Edit: Oh looky, she addresses you already:
"I myself am accused of being a peddler of Russian propaganda many times per day, and have been for years. This despite my hardly ever consuming Russian media, never receiving a penny from Russia, and never having worked for the Russian government or any other government at any time. Russian media have at times chosen of their own initiative to amplify my work since I have a standing invitation for anyone to do so, but I’m literally just an Australian woman writing her opinions online with her American husband. I only qualify as “Russian propaganda” because I disagree with US foreign policy."
Which is who you (and a lot of blue) are anyway these days. Fuck, I must be a Russian bot myself. Need to go collect some funds.

One of earth’s most evil living beings, Dick “Darth Vader” Cheney, has officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president. His daughter, Liz Cheney, has also endorsed Harris.“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” said the former vice president in a statement, adding, “As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Cheney was a charter signatory to the notorious neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century, and as vice president played a leading role in the George W Bush administration’s soaring warmongering, militarism and authoritarianism, including most famously the invasion of Iraq. He has the blood of millions of people on his hands, and he should be living out the rest of his miserable life in a cage.
His daughter Liz is an equally bloodthirsty warmonger who has spent her career pushing for mass military slaughter at every opportunity. After the Israeli assault on Gaza began last year she went on CNN to declare that all deaths which occur in the onslaught are “the responsibility of Hamas”, that protests against Israel’s actions are “antisemitic” in nature, and that the US should escalate against Iran and the Houthis because of their oppositional posture toward Israel.

The Cheneys join a growing list of formerly Republican warmongers who are migrating to the Democratic Party in droves to support Harris. Last month hundreds of staffers who served under Republicans George W Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney signed a letter endorsing Harris, saying that “re-electing President Trump would be a disaster for our nation.”
“Abroad, democratic movements will be irreparably jeopardized as Trump and his acolyte JD Vance kowtow to dictators like Vladimir Putin while turning their backs on our allies,” the group writes, adding, “We can’t let that happen.”
It is here worth noting that contrary to the narratives circulated in both mainstream Democrat-aligned media and mainstream Republican-aligned media, Donald Trump actually spent his entire term ramping up aggressions against Russia and helped pave the way to the war in Ukraine. He also promoted many longstanding warmongering agendas against official enemies of the US empire like Iran, Syria, and Venezuela. But even Trump’s insane hawkishness is insufficient for these freaks.
In June of 2022, author Sarah Kendzior made the following predictions on the Gaslit Nation podcast:
Quote“I’m gonna wrap this up with a warning, which is that there is a new plan for our already broken two-party system. The plan is to have two parties. One, a batshit crazy MAGA party led by Trump or DeSantis that will bulldoze your rights. And the second one will be a far-right “respectable” party led by Liz Cheney that will also bulldoze your rights. They will call the Cheney party the Democrats and pretend that a creeping capitulation to a right-wing agenda is some kind of act of healing bipartisanship.”
…
“When I mentioned this possibility on Twitter, someone wrote to me, ‘Liz Cheney is not becoming a Democrat.’ And I replied, ‘I agree. The Democrats are becoming Cheneys.’”

This is more or less what appears to have been happening, and it actually started several years ago. During the 2016 Trump campaign a bunch of neoconservative warmongers switched from defending George W Bush as a saint and decrying Obama as an Ayatollah lover, and began pivoting to endorse Hillary Clinton instead. After Trump won, this coalition between Democrats and Bush-era neocons grew even stronger with the creation of new Democratic think tank projects led by Iraq-raping neocons like Bill Kristol.
So now we’re seeing two warmongering oligarchic parties shoving the Overton window of acceptable opinion as far in the direction of imperialism, militarism and tyranny as possible under the leadership of some of the very worst people alive. By doing this they ensure that these matters are never on the ballot, and that elections are always about issues the powerful are completely indifferent toward like abortion and trans rights instead.
Progressives who want healthcare and a ceasefire in Gaza are being dismissed and ignored while alliances are being made with the world’s most blood-soaked imperialists. Things have been shoved so far to the right that this election is now a showdown between the Trump Party against the Cheney Party, and no matter who wins, the empire wins.
A lot of fuss will probably be made about election-rigging after the results are announced in November, with the loser declaring that the results are the result of Russian interference or Deep State vote tampering depending on who that loser happens to be. But remember this: the worst election rigging is happening right out in the open, to ensure that oligarchs and empire managers are happy with either outcome.
I wouldn't call it Cheney's party like she does. But there's a reason all these warhawk neocons are comfortable endorsing her (like many did Clinton). -
Catilyn could or could not be the dreaded left wing 'grifter' so many worry about. But lately I find myself agreeing with her writings. Her and Chris Hedges of course.
You Don't Get To Vote On Any Of Your Government's Most Consequential ActionsQuoteYou’ll often hear Democrats calling people “privileged” if they talk about voting third party, or if they say it doesn’t matter whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris wins the election in November. The idea is that if you’re not doing everything you can to make sure the Democrat wins, it must be because you are white and wealthy and coddled enough to be unconcerned about Donald Trump getting in and implementing racist and discriminatory policies.
This narrative is false. Nonvoters in the United States are statistically much more likely to be poor and nonwhite, because those groups tend to see both mainstream political factions as more or less equally worthless at helping to improve the condition of their lives. Turns out you need to have a degree of stability and comfort in your life to see any significant difference between these candidates, and many lack that stability and comfort — both in the US and around the world. They aren’t privileged enough to care one way or the other.
- Palestinians, who will continue to be killed and oppressed by the state of Israel regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
- Ukrainians, who will continue to die in Washington’s proxy war with Russia regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
- Victims of US warmongering around the world, who will suffer and die from acts of mass military violence inflicted upon them regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
- Victims of US economic sanctions, who will continue to suffer and struggle because their government had the audacity to disobey Washington’s dictates regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
- Victims of US imperialist extraction, who will continue to have their labor and resources siphoned away by wildly unjust and exploitative systems regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
- Homeless people in the United States, who will remain homeless regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
- America’s working poor, who will continue to struggle to make ends meet in a constant state of toil regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
- Victims of the US policing and prison systems, who will remain abused and mistreated by those systems regardless of whether Trump or Harris wins.
The truth of the matter is that you simply don’t get to vote on any of the most consequential things your government does.
You don’t get to vote on whether wars, militarism and imperialism should continue.
You don’t get to vote on whether your government should engage in nuclear brinkmanship with Russia and China.
You don’t get to vote on whether your government should keep systems in place which ensure the destruction of our biosphere.

You don’t get to vote on whether your government should keep systems in place which allow people to go homeless or die of treatable illnesses because they don’t have enough money.
You don’t get to vote on whether billionaires should remain billionaires while so many ordinary people struggle to survive.
You don’t get to vote on whether you and your compatriots should be subjected every single day to mass media propaganda which serves the information interests of your government and the status quo politics it relies on.
You don’t get to vote on whether your government should keep pushing more and more authoritarian measures like Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation, online censorship, surveillance, government secrecy, and the war on journalism to ensure the suppression of dissent.
You don’t get to vote on whether or not any of this murder, tyranny, oppression and exploitation should take place. All you get to vote on is what face should represent these things for the next four years, and whether that symbolic face will have a (D) or an (R) next to their name.
The functioning of a globe-spanning empire is seen as too important to be left in the hands of the voting public — so it isn’t. Nothing that is critical to the empire’s operation is ever on the ballot. They only let voters control a few superficial details about their society which make no difference to the powerful, while placing tremendous significance on elections and their outcomes so that voters really feel like they are making a difference.
Noam Chomsky was correct when he said “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum.” Until you really understand that quote and how far it goes, you can’t understand anything about mainstream western politics and political discourse.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday that he will vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over fellow Republican Donald Trump in the November election, warning that the former president “can never be trusted with power again.”
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.”
“As citizens, we each have a duty to put country above partisanship to defend our Constitution. That is why I will be casting my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris,” he concluded.
Cheney’s daughter, former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, first revealed earlier in the day that her father would be voting for the Democratic ticket during remarks at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas. The former Republican congresswoman said Wednesday that she would be voting for Harris, citing “the danger that Donald Trump poses.”

Dick Cheney’s support for Harris represents a stunning move for the staunch conservative who was vice president to George W. Bush and a longtime congressman from Wyoming who held several leadership roles in the House Republican Caucus.
The former vice president was critical of his party and Trump in the wake of the January 6 attack. In campaign ads for his daughter’s 2022 reelection effort, he called Trump a “threat to our republic” and a “coward.”
“He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him,” Dick Cheney said of the former president in the ad.

DIck Cheney is the monstrous war criminal of our times who in any just society would have had his head chopped off by now. If Kissinger had been capable of blushing Cheney would have made it happen. But it is humorous seeing all the old neoncons tossing their fits at the logical result of their policies coming back to bite their control in the form of the orange baboon. Lincoln Project another example.
