The last thing I'd call a hundred-billionaire capitalist is a "patsy". But yeah: I think you're right that he doesn't wield the kind of direct state power that many people are implying. I think Trump will always lick his boots, but he might also distance from him and stop letting him make the immediate calls. Much like Trump did a few days ago when he said Musk could set policy but not fire individuals (don't know if he stuck to that, but there might come a time when he does).

turned himself in to police.

Jesus, people. Learn to live and fight another day. Instead of one Nazi dropping six feet under, it could be a dozen.

Anyway, hope people keep standing up for him.

It'll be funny to see them trying to justify how one of the most powerful Democrats is on the villain list but somehow doesn't indicate that the party itself is rotten to the core (and always has been).

LOL are the donkey libs ready to add Schumer to their favorite list with Manchin and Sinema? Just a few bad apples, and all that?

It's so that, y'know, they can have just a bit of extra austerity now and then, as a treat.

I guess he figured by making it possible to play video games while driving, he might get better at both at the same time.

The Empire has lots of 51st states, it turns out.

The agreement provides for US protection by air, sky and land and the exploitation of Ukrainian minerals.

So is this just a, "Once again, Russia: please accept NATO on your doorstep"?

Our position remains absolutely clear: Ukraine has been seeking peace from the very first second of this war....

Ah. So they're actually saying that they are "seeking peace" the same way they have been for the last 3 years. phoenix-think

Did Russiagate 1.0 ever go away?

He's talked about both for the last couple decades, actually. I don't know if you've been just watching clips people post of him or something, but he goes into global issues a ton on Economic Update (or at least used to; I haven't listened much over the last year or two).

And it's good that he focuses on shit you can do locally like starting or joining or making things into worker co-ops, honestly. It's a thing where people have some actual agency and can make direct changes. Unless maybe you're becoming a head-of-state anytime soon?
