I would like to propose a polite recommendation to anyone who reads or responds to a frequent poster who refers to itself as Korean Man:
Quit
Quit reading its posts.
Quit responding.
Quit marking up or down.
I never read a word KM writes (I pass right over them as if they aren’t there), never engage in argument/discussion, nor do I like/dislike any of its posts.
My theory is: once it stops getting attention, it’ll eventually go away.
Maybe you enjoy teasing the neighbor’s yappy little dog.
As for me, I don’t like the yapping.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Well said, Mcgeehee. And for those of you who don’t like me, please follow the same advice. 🙂
I already know the reaction this post will get on this site but…
In order for the republican party to regain the trust and respect of the American people, they have to get back to their roots. They need to be good stewards of the economy and have the best interest of the working class in mind and they need to condemn/censor the ultra-right extremists and nut jobs like Boebert and Greene (just as the democrats need to do with the ultra-left extremists), and most importantly, they need to move past Trump. If this past election didn’t show them that, then nothing will.

What is past Trump?
The question nobody can answer is, what exactly did Trump do that is so bad?
He seemed to be sincerely looking out for America’s best long-term interests.
So, to see if you are a serious person with a valid opinion, let’s pose the same question to you.
Don’t parrot all the nonsense talking points about selling nuclear codes or But Racist.
What exactly did Trump do to hurt America? And, as a bonus, what is any other politician doing better?
As for Republican “extremists”, it seems they are the only true Republicans who have “gone back to their roots”.
“Republicans” like Romney would support removing your child’s genitals just as fast as AOC.
At first glance, you appear to be just another anti-American nutjob with Trump derangement syndrome and a victim of anit-American propaganda.
But I could be wrong.
You could have a respectable well-thought out opinion based on solid facts that you can explain in detail and defend against any questions.
Let’s see what the case is.

This is why you, and all the other NeverTrumper stooges cannot be taken seriously.
You have a chance not only to voice your opinion, which any àsshole can do, but back it up with solid facts and analysis to an audience willing to listen.
Instead, you chose just to be another àsshole.
…which is a common theme of NeverTrumpers, Warmers, Vaxtards, etc.
They have nothing going for them except empty appeals to emotion. When the facts come out, the conversation stops. They simply cannot support their brand of crazy. And, while they will keep yapping whatever has been pushed into their heads, they simply won’t engage in actual discussion. They will just keep on being dumb forever and wondering why reality doesn’t reflect their fantasy.
…why was the economy better under Trump?
…why am I fully Safe & Effective yet have covid?
…why does the sea level in pictures of famous places in the 1800s look exactly the same as now despite 30 years of 5 year tipping points as explained to me by a guy who lives in a seaside mansion?

“What happened to monkey pox?”
It turns out that it is pretty much a gay sèx disease so about 96% of the population went Meh.
Then a dog caught it.
And people with decent thinking wondered how a dog could have caught it just being around gay people.
And then a number of children caught it.
And people with decent thinking started to suspect maybe gay couples don’t need to be raising children if the children are coming down with a disease that is only spread through gay sex.
And the media looked at the salivating pharmasudical companies for a bit and then over at their angry prissy friends pushing the LGBQTXYZBBQ agenda and thought about needing to stand against bigotry for 30 or 40 seconds…
…and never spoke of it again.
And then they went back to pushing movies filled with minority gay women saving the world or something.

@Liz, what CH is leaving out is which famous people have not been seen much because they got caught with monkey pox.
Certain foreign officials are rumored to be infected.
It’s worth noting that monkey pox can be acquired from door knobs and/or toilet seats; but those methods are said to be more painful than the usual.
It is most definitely not true that Hillary got it from Bill Gates. And besides, they’re “just friends”.

Russia (maybe) hits a grain elevator in Poland and the Biden administration is talking about invoking article 5. What the hell is happening? We hit a house in Bulgaria with a missile during the Balkan conflict, by accident. The permacrisis is making the population unbelievably cavalier about the prospect of actual war with Russia.
ChickenHead

The missile thing is a scam of the highest order.
AP immediately claimed they were Russian missiles based on a high level intelligence agency official who requested anonymity based on the sensitivity of the issue.
(Technically, they were Russian missiles, if this was a trade dispute.)
America knew they were stray Ukranian S-300s because they tracked them in real time from launch to impact.
Once Biden couldn’t be pinned down that they were Russian “russian missiles”, anybody paying attention knew what was up.
American media quietly transitioned from Russian Missiles to Russian-Made Missiles hoping everyone would still blame Russia without them having to outright lie (this is how the media operates on everything).
The Polish went and surveyed the damage and never thought to ask why Russia would attack their ground target with surface to air missiles just like the ones Ukraine has been firing for hours.
They called in the Russian ambassador and demanded to know why Russian missiles where killing Poles.
Hopefully he answered, “Not sure… but I was watching donkey pr0n and saw a vag like your mom’s.”
It is starting to look like it might be time to bring back Polack jokes.
Liz, war is inevitable. Right now, everyone is positioning themselves politically so they don’t look like the bad guy in the parallel propaganda war that will be waged at the same time.
Anybody intelligent shouldn’t be whining about the possibility of war. They should be preparing to find their place in it.
.. when it looked like the Russia Hit Poland With Missiles story wasn’t going to hold up because the OSINT guys took a look at the carefully selected ambiguous pictures the Poles released and said, “Hmmm, that doesn’t really look like any part of anything the Russians have been shooting but it sure looks like parts of what the Ukranians have been shooting at what the Russians have been shooting.”
The disinfo teams of “experts” had their act together though. It didn’t work… but they had their bases covered.
“Russia has been modifying S-300 missiles for ground to ground use.” Then they gave an example of a past attack (that killed obligatory civilians) and said this proved… PROVED… Russia was low on missiles and such.
We have heard that since April.
…and it might be considered questionable information to those who work at Ukranian power plants… as Ukraine slowly gets deindustrialied amid a silent western media.
The real story here is that a “high level intelligence official” confirmed to AP that Russia attacked Poland.
This might mean a high level intelligence official is starting shìt. But after losing credibility over this level of stupid, he would lose his ability to manipulate the press.
So, more likely, AP just made this up.
And then, once all the stupid people started going on about Russia Russia Russia, AP changed the story to “Russian-made” missile.
People still think Trump said to inject bleach and he had hookers pee on him.
Since covid (and really since Trump), government and media have openly started to treat people like they are incredibly stupid.
And… well… they clearly are.
Don’t forget your new bivalent boosters to keep you Safe & Effective.
@GI, as my learned colleague may be ready to remind us of Hunter Biden’s tenure as a board member for Burisma, I must defer to the facts currently in evidence.
1. Hunter Biden “may not be as pure as the driven snow.”
2. A member of the Romney clan was also involved with Biden in many of the Ukrainian, Russian, and Chinese money deals.
3. The FBI just recently rediscovered that they have at least one of Hunter’s laptops.
4. There were massive donations from FTX to a nimber of Democrats (and possibly some to Republicans).
5. Ukraine did invest in FTX.
6. Money is fungible.
7. The investigation won’t go anywhere, regardless, because AG Garland has his orders.
As it is, it’s an oversimplification of a complicated fraud against the US Taxpayers. And given most flatworms (“planaria”) have a longer attention span than most Americans, it won’t be more than a blink before it’s gone.
The participants, like all of us, will face God on Judgment Day and answer for their actions. I wish we’d all be ready…

I don’t know GI…
Your “fact check” comes from a news source which 48 hours ago swore Russia was launching missiles into Poland.
They also checked two years of facts that said “if you get this vaccine you won’t get covid that didn’t come from a lab and doesn’t cause heart problems or strange menstral irregularities,” and variations of that.
Soooo… gonna need a better grade of fact check… perhaps darts or chicken bones.
Some undisputable facts are, FTX, a company that suddenly came from nowhere with no real business model, product, or service… and leftist connected-but-clownishly incompetent puppet-like leadership… suddenly generated a LOT of money with the backing of Democrats, leftists, globalists, and media… which they donated to Democrats, leftists, and globalists, with the cheering on of the media.
And then, right after the election, the unsustainable scam was over.
You and AP are right, though… there doesn’t seem to be a convincing chain of evidence that unaccountable taxpayer funds being shipped to Ukraine by Democrats has anything to do with FTX and a return money laundring scam.
This seems yet another diversion… “ohhh… you are one of those FTX/Ukraine guys”.
But there is clear evidence… no… uncontested reality by everyone involved… that a lot of really, really smart investors (such as Blackrock) strangely lost big money with FTX… and strangely, all these investors who should know better, lean Democrat, left, and globalist.
But “lost” is the wrong word.
The money wasn’t lost.
The money that went from leftist/globalist “investors” to a company with no profit and every possible warning sign, took this money and handed it directly over to Democrats and other leftist/globalist causes completely openly… even with media publicity.
This is real money laundering… open and uncontestable… which should be the focus instead of quibbling about the possible involvement of equal but different Ukraine scams… which we can talk about next time.

“Gee…wouldn’t it be great if we could use only one drop of blood and test for….everything with it?!”

Liz, investors at that level know exactly what they are doing. They don’t lose.
They have the connections and inside information to ensure every action gives the intended result.
Any “loss” is a laundered kickback to those who gave them the inside information and facilitated their gains.
…which brings up the question: Are they hooking up those who hooked them up or are they the direct-action group working for those with the inside information?

Liz… couple more thoughts…
Considering how clearly young, inexperienced, incapable, and completely ignorant of their field these people are, it is clear they are puppets for those who receive their funds.
…meaning the same pattern is repeating:
– nonsense company with no product, service, business plan
– marketed to the little people via fawning media such as the cover of Forbes
– CEO raises their status by being seen with all the right leftists
– funded by big investors (who are using this as a backdoor payoff to politicians)
– funded by small investors who watch the big investors and think they will make money… a bonus financial force multiplier
– the company which only made profit because of investment, rather than production, donates to all the politicians and agendas the institutional investors directed them to
– unsustainable business model goes tits up as everyone with two brain cells who didn’t buy into the hype already knew
– leftist politicians and organizations dont give their donations back
– big companies successfully laundered payoffs
– little people helped fund the payoffs… cry in their milk… do it again the next time the “opportunity” comes up
– puppet CEO goes to jail… actually thought all the fawning over them was real because they were as smart as they always thought they were in their own mind… don’t even know who to rat out
I’m busy and doing this between other actions… so I left out a lot of information here.
Bitcoin: very, very, very valuable.
The value is not in the speculation… avoid that stupidness.
The value is in an internationally-liquid medium of exchange that cannot be traced back to you (as long as you make sure it can’t… because it can by default)
When you need to do something, buy bitcoin, use it as needed, no longer your problem.
You have now converted real money into real goods at the current value across international borders with no record tracable to you (with proper precaution) and without the buyer and seller having any contact.
It is hard to feel sympathy for people that invested in company that has no tangible product and is run by a guy who looks like he belongs in a homeless shelter.
Sam Bankman-Fried and his fellow FTX executives followed the well-established lobbying playbook of spreading money around Washington — at least $70 million on 2022 campaigns, with three sources saying there was much more in “dark money” — to make friends with whoever ended up in power, regardless of the outcome of the elections.
Sam Bankman-Fried is a Democrat, and he spent at least $40 million supporting the party. But he also gave $45,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee, and more than $100,000 each to two groups supporting Republican Senate candidates in deep red states, while entities he funded gave even more.
Other FTX executives, like co-CEO Ryan Salame, gave more than $15 million this year, mostly to Republicans.
Also according to the article Bankman-Fried was prepared to spend $100 million on the Presidential election cycle if the company did not go bust.
China still trying to provoke India into a war.
