Didn't the Head of Ukrainian Military Intelligence announce to the world last week that Navalny died of a blood clot?

Oliver, you're becoming as delusional as Paul Krugman when he starts whining about why don't the "normies" understand that the economy is great. Who gives a shit about inflation being under 5% if rent and groceries have gone up 25% in a few years, and pay hasn't?

No one outside the DC and media bubble care at all about Russia, China, Israel. They don't want to go to wars over this shit, but it isn't on their minds daily. Just because Bari and the rest of you guys want a war with Iran certainly doesn't mean anyone else does. They don't care about your other pet projects either, like wanting to kill diversity & inclusion.

The Free Press is beginning to sound like the NYTimes as it supported the drumbeat of war for Iraq. I am curious, though, how you guys label yourselves? Who is a neocon and who is a neolib? You all seem to love war, and are angling for more of it.

I saw this and thought WTF? Then I saw who wrote it and it all made sense.

"...it’s often hard to tell who Carlson wants to win the Ukraine-Russia war: a European democracy defending itself, or the invading force of a Russian despot."

Of course if you call trying to jail your political opponent "democracy", then I guess Ukraine is just as deserving of that title as the US.

A ‘cease-fire’ in 1944/1945 would have saved a great many German / Japanese lives. It would have also left Hitler / Tojo in power. The ‘cease-fire’ crowd should be seen as pro-Hitler or at very least Hitler tolerant.

Well I’m a little unclear on what normies are but are either of the two presidential candidates- normi es? I don’t think so. So how exactly are normies going to solve anything?

“Just as it’s not always clear whose side the Squad is on in the Israel-Hamas war…”

No, it’s always clear they and their supporters are on the side of Hamas, the Houthis, and all other Islamic terrorists.

Peter. Thank you.

What will bring down the Squad is higher voter turnout in the primaries and a few "normie" candidates therein. The squad was elected in 2018 with some of the lowest voter turnout on record and signs of intimidation in Minneapolis.

There's nothing Leftie about the point about Blinken objecting to the use of the word "father". That's right up your extreme news extreme views street

It's interesting that you are criticizing Tucker Carlson for reporting a story without making his position known. That's what a journalist does, as opposed to today's activists masquerading as journalists.

Re: Tucker/Putin interview

“Know your enemy” is how I felt about it. Putin is a super duper psychopath … but damn - he sure came across as smart and mentally sharp as a tack. Terrifying to think of Biden and his ‘handlers’ trying to out-strategize Putin. It’s no contest.

I also found Tucker to be courageous asking for Evan Gerahovitz return to Putins face. Putin could have thrown him in the gulag for that (Brittny Griner style) - and still Tucker doubled down and asked twice.

Call me crazy but I also thought the grocery store visit was telling as to level of sophistication with Russian society. Didn’t feel like the war was hurting them which also tells a story. Isn’t that journalism?

^ all that doesn’t make me a Putin fan …I just found it helps to ‘know your enemy’.

I couldn't find the 80% of Americans support Israel in the Pew poll that is mentioned. Did anyone else find it?

The war is being fought on the local level like city of Durham passing pro Hamas resolution

The squad will die but Muslim money will support the protests and disruption and continue to buy colleges professors at colleges national professor associations and really dumb college kids

Freeze the Muslims want a war with blood on the streets in America. So the Muslims conquer by protests and conquer by violence it is a 2 prong fight

I always wonder how do these survey companies, Pew Research and others, select their candidates. I was never asked to participate in a research other than by a politician looking to follow up with request for a donation.

Who provides these opinions and why theirs should matter?
