Well, I am happy Harris was successful and she has returned safely to US soil so we can again lock her in the attic.
My definition of success for her trip? The EU did not declare war on us.
[quote quote=5876]Mean tweets, lol. Sounds quaint. News flash. Ukraine is banning all wheat and grain exports vital to the global food supply. A two for one. So right now who is under the most pressure?
- Ukraine President
- Putin
- Biden
- Israel for the new Iran friendly Nuclear deal.
- China. They just lost a lot of grain to feed their people.
This year is setting up as one for the record books. The longer it goes the more it goes sideways. Someone is going to miscalculate and my pick is door #3.[/quote]
Well, you went out on a limb picking that one! That’s like calling the winner of race between Usain Bolt and rjnwmill. Biden continues to shine in an irritating way. Maybe he is fooling all of us. Might be a stroke of political genius sending Kamala to Europe. No one will pay attention to her.
“The “best thing” that China could do right now is to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, said economist Stephen Roach.”
The best thing for who? China? China doesn’t have to be in a hurry to broker any deal. Xi Xiping is licking his chops. Of course he has Putin’s back. “Don’t worry, Vlad. PRC has your back. Don’t worry about sanctions, we’ll get you anything you need.”
The longer sanctions last, the stronger Xi’s grip on Moscow. While the west is focused on Ukraine, Xi is pretty free to engage in just about any level of fuckery that pleases him.
I agree with you Bob. There is no need for China to invade Taiwan. Next lib sitting in the White House will cede Taiwan for “peace in our time” or a short term deal that will poll well. Either way, China wins, taking another step towards it 2050 goals while we worry about which pronouns to use.
Those numbers will improve a lot. Biden will be war president, portrayed as tough as nails. Why, did you see how quickly he shut down the NORD Stream pipeline? Holy crap, it was almost like it was located in the USA!.
That’ll teach Putin1
Are there benefits (maybe a cabinet level position) for old guys with toenail fungus on his right foot? Asking for a friend.
Well, I bet there would be some awkward moments between Harris and Kavanaugh. I’m not seeing a Ginsburg/Scalia kind of friendship happening with those two.
[quote quote=5730]I haven’t given up on the CEB, but I am overwhelmed with work and other personal issues in the last year with no end in sight so I just barely have time to read occasional updates. Once in a while I’ll try to engage. But it’s also tough being the only sane person on here 😉 kidding.[/quote]
We know you are kidding. Everyone here knows you are anything but sane. 😉
Basic information is lacking.
How many new cases are vaccinated?
How many new cases result in hospitalization?
How many new cases require a stay in ICU?
What is the current length of hospital stay with new cases?https://www.cnet.com/health/medical/can-you-tell-which-covid-variant-you-have/
Bottom line, health “professionals” have little to go on when declaring a new infection is omicron. There is simply to little data and too much speculation to accurately state how many infections are omicron.
[quote quote=5669]She’s already a pariah. If she where a white male she wouldn’t have the job in the first place, so there’s that.[/quote]
Bingo. Was thinking just that before I read your post. The only box left unchecked for Kamala during vetting process was “Qualified for the job”.
Last census data has PDX population at 8% AA. A big irony with Portland is locals see themselves as inclusive, open and a real life example of the big tent principle. Well, PDX is a big tent until you think differently or view life differently than the white, puffy, wool pants wearing and Subaru Forrester driving folks that live here.
Nope, that makes you a narrow minded, racist, hater, stereotypical old white man.
Is anyone keeping track of Joe’s lies like they did with Trump? Oh, never mind. Just me being silly.
No doubt they will be welcomed back – fully armed – when an off the rails meth head starts slashing customers with a knife.
Holy sheet! So Fox dominates cable news networks by a few points? Maybe that’s because 1) liberals don’t have to watch cable news to get their daily dose of conservatives are bad 2) Far right leaning conservatives have no where else to go. This is so fricking ridiculous I thought this was something from the Onion.
“But sooner or later, Joe Biden has to make this more than a referendum on himself and his presidency and instead make this a stark choice between two very different ideas and philosophies.”
Hmmm. Interesting strategy. Attack those who oppose idealistic programs and philosophies that are failing. Demonstrably.
If this is the strategy dems to choose to pursue, I think it will end badly for them.
