@ai6yr Hmm. One might investigate the income sources of Ontario's premier. Who is paying him?

@lovelylovely It might be that Tlaib will now learn how the world works.

I wonder if there's a way to get German Rheinmetall / Oerlikon technology to Ukraine. It terminates a drone's mission in no uncertain terms,

@EugeneMcParland Well, we have force, and Putin is certain we won't use it. He's probably right.

But if he's wrong, he's risking the whole corrupt Russian culture on it. Putin is making existential decisions here. He's betting on the humanity of Europe and planning to leverage it as the Russians have done for ages.

Do we let him or do we do what's necessary?

@lovelylovely Agreed. The far-left is as disconnected from reality as the far-right.

No, you can't have what you want. What you CAN have is something closer to what you want than the alternative. The alternative is something farther from what you want.

That's democracy, and the sooner you figure this out, the better.

"I want everything I want and I want it now..." is exactly how we end up with tyranny that will NOT get you anything like what you think you want today.

I know, I know, this is a difficult and complex concept to absorb. But you must. This is how humans get along.

@Nonilex Yes, next come the hired security forces with machine guns to kill strikers like happened 120 years ago.

@karlauerbach @lauren Haven't seen a penny out of AdSense in years. Long ago it was making me money. Today, my traffic is much higher and not a penny. Hahaha.

There are very smart people running Google these days.

@lauren Oh, and needless to say, I don't use Google for anything important. My gmail, which goes back ages, is my garbage account. The only Google service I use is Docs because of sharing. The rubes I work with can't handle anything that isn't dirt simple and built into IOS.

@lauren My elder daughter had this problem a few years ago. Lost everything. Had to start over.

Yeah... 66F in Northern West Virginia on November 20th.

The locals, all Trump supporters say, "Yeah. this happens every year."

Uh, excuse me, but, uh, no it doesn't. No it didn't. It didn't when I lived here 20 years ago. It didn't when you grew up here 70 years ago. You've never seen anything like this, yet you bury it and go with the "narrative". Climate change is a hoax.

They are SO deluded that they alter their memory of reality to match the narrative they've been brainwashed to believe. It's incredible to see, and a real education into human nature and how flawed many of us are.

No wonder Hitler had so many followers. No wonder "Reverend" Jim Jones managed to massacre 900 people, including people killing hundreds of their own children. Humans have some SERIOUS and very disturbing flaws when it comes to cult leaders.

Yes, climate change is a hoax. 60 degrees on Thanksgiving is "perfectly normal". (Not that I like the cold. Some do. I don't. But this is NOT normal and is very disturbing. The "damn it's cold" moment should have occurred a month ago. It still hasn't occurred.)

A month ago is when I should have had to bundle up to run an errand at midnight. But no need for that tonight. T-shirt and a ballcap is fine. On November 20th. In Northern West Virginia.
