Joe Bauer Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 All of America is still exhausted and still trying to get through the PTSD of the greatest society scaring and stressing event in our last 50 years ( Covid ) with it's accompanying massive social and economic upheaval combined with record inflation, nation diving political turmoil, extreme weather patterns...you name it... And this Neanderthal looking Trump cult warrior woman's main priority message of congressional duty agenda is ..."revenge!" ??? Average Americans need help in so many areas. Yet, all this Trump henchwoman Capo can talk about is "pay back" toward the Democrats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, all this Trump henchwoman Capo can talk about is "pay back" toward the Democrats? I will say it again: Our two parties are more interested in pursuing partisan enmity than governance. Both parties have and will weaponize the media and state against rivals. When one party weaponizes the state and media against a rival, that does not make that particular rival a great person or admirable in any way. It just means one party is smearing a rival by any means necessary or available. In large part, this explains the Trump story and Russiagate hoax. And what happened to Matt Gaetz and the headlines-story he transported underage girls across state lines for sex? Do I admire Gaetz or Trump? No. I just pointing out what happened.

Benjamin Cole Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Elon Musk is now "bad" to large parts of US media. Why? For de-linking Twitter from intel-state propaganda ops?

How Elon Musk’s satellites have saved Ukraine and changed warfare---The Economist And the worries about what comes next Jan 5th 2023 It is one of the wonders of the world—or, more accurately, off the world. The Starlink constellation currently consists of 3,335 active satellites; roughly half of all working satellites are Starlinks.

SpaceX, the company which created Starlink, is offering it as a way of providing off-grid high-bandwidth internet access to consumers in 45 countries. A million or so have become subscribers.

Steve Thomas Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Last week, there was a story in the news, that the homes and offices of six Democratic lawmakers in Albuquerque, New Mexico had been shot at. Tonight, there was an arrest in the case. The police arrested a failed Republican candidate for the New Mexico House of Representatives named Pena. He is a Trump supporter and an election denier. The police charged him with being the shooter in one case, and hiring four hit men to shoot up four of the other locations. He lost his race in 2022, but claimed the election was rigged and refused to concede. The worst part is that this Pena guy was convicted in 19 previous felonies, for which he served 7 years in prison. This is the guy that the Republican Party put up to run for Congress in New Mexico. Between Herschel Walker, and George Santos, and this Pena guy, it's increasingly beginning to look like the Republican Party has ceased to exist as a legitimate political party, and is become something else.

Many businesses, many corporations , many governments buy AWS, as Matt told you. That's the way things are done in our Capitalist system. If you're going to get upset about it. Do you realize the Government also secures weapons fro Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grummond and Raytheon. Why don't you get upset about that? Just because Glenn Greenwald doesn't?.

Musk, at great expense, has maintained the Starlink system, which The Economist magazine (not me) said is vital to the Ukrainian war effort. Why is Musk loathed, and not regarded as a hero for his immense and vital contribution to the Ukrainian war effort? What other private-sector actor has done as much? Russian bots and stooges against Musk? Something funny going on with the fashioning of Musk's public image. You have said many times you are a Ukrainian supporter. You regard Putin as Hitler. You do not honor Musk for helping to save Ukraine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read the WaPo article link I posted, it's free. “Like it or not,” adviser Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted, Musk “helped us survive the most critical moments of war.” Podolyak added that Ukraine “will find a solution to keep Starlink working. We expect that the company will provide stable connection till the end of negotiations.” ---30--- It looks like Musk did charity work for a while, then asked to be paid. Putin must hate Musk like no one else. Ukraine has survived in large part due to the Musk-built communications network. As for Musk's personal foibles, well they are what they are. I think if I was as rich and smart as Musk I might have a few shortcomings too. Many independent observers say Musk has de-Mockingbirded Twitter. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Benjamin Cole Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 From clips I have seen on media, and the sex charges, I assumed Matt Gaetz was a very strange character. In here, he discusses repealing the Patriot Act, taking on the the intel state, and reasonable questions regarding Ray Epps. He is far most logical and articulate than I had thought. Gaetz blames the GOP/Bush jr. response to 9/11 for creating the domestic national security panopticon. Life is full of surprises. If one reviews Gaetz herein objectively, he says many things I would expect true liberals to endorse. So...why are not the libs calling for the repeal of the Patriot Act? No doubt I will receive the usual partisan enmity for this post. So be it. Unfortunately, this starts off with 1/6, which will just further raise partisan hackles... Although I have to say, full disclosure of federal assets on the ground on 1/6, and of the 14,000 hours of Capitol videos, are certainly worthy proposals. When did secrecy become good government?
