No problem. Just give more money to Ukraine.

What are you sayin' -- he shoulda voted approval for the Russian invasion instead?

Absolutely no justifiable reason, not one, for the Russian pumpkin (aka "the former KGB weasel ") to invade a sovereign country... unless of course he sought to steal their land. OK, then it's another matter. I get that :)

Also, I think Bernie made that point in his Bernie way that if we can fund the Ukrainians in their effort to militarily humiliate the Russians, then we can afford another 40 billion to forgive student debt and other good things.

You got to put things into perspective.

Also, if you buy creatine (you don't have to, unless you want to improve your gym performance or you're a vegetarian) then it must be creatine monohydrate and it also, big must, must be the one made in Germany with the "creapure" logo on it.

Read Bernie's tweet.
Either tax the rich to send to Ukraine, or STFU about the need to tax the rich.

The US Senate has approved a new package of aid to Ukraine for a record $ 40 billion. Everything would be fine, but the US budget does not have such funds, so we will have to borrow from China, Senator Rand Paul said.

“I think it’s important to know that we don’t have money that we can send, we have to borrow from China to send funds to Ukraine,” the senator from Kentucky said.

Matt Franko said...

I thought China was with Russia?

Footsoldier said...

They've learned absolutely nothing from the financial crash and the pandemic.


Simply can't free themselves from their ideological constraints.


Despise government spending and try everything in their power to shrink the state.

A job guarentee is a million miles away from their thoughts.

Putin to Xi: "Hey, what's the deal with lending money to the Amerikanskis? Whose side are you on?"

Footsoldier said...

I thought the " borrowing from China" myth was killed off stone dead ?


Footsoldier said...

Obviously not in Kentucky.

Footsoldier said...

Where's Sarah Palin when we need her.

Alaska just loved the " borrowing from China" meme.


Footsoldier said...

Just in breaking news....


Senator Rand Paul wants to attack China by borrowing US $'s from China.


It's a tough pill to swallow the Senator told Sean Hannity on fox news but so is swallowing a giraffe.

Peter Pan said...

Sell Alaska to China. Palin included.

"Absolutely no justifiable reason, not one, for the Russian pumpkin (aka "the former KGB weasel ") to invade a sovereign country... unless of course he sought to steal their land. OK, then it's another matter. I get that :)"

The current situation is very similar to Ireland, and the presence of Northern Ireland, which means it is probably as intractable as that issue.

Just like Israel/Palestine.

Each side is convinced they are absolutely right and refuses to see the other side's point of view.

Textbook Art Degree 101…

News just in .... Breaking news....


Steve Bannon changes the name of his podcast to the " art" room.


Steve explained the reason of the Name change on Tucker Carlson tonight as


" I just can't see the left's point of view"





Footsoldier said...

New Russian convoy "eleven kilometers" long going to Donbass.


https://t.me/s/intelslava



They are calling the convoy.


Finishthejobovitch.


Peter Pan said...

Bannon should call it the Romper Room. Or we should.

Matt Franko said...

Bannon is Jesuit trained like Tom…

Catholic Church 100% Platonist Art Degree people…

Trained in dialog/interlocution to eventually form a synthesis…

Not applicable for material endeavors… you’ll blow yourself up…

Matt Franko said...

In the Greek scriptures, the word ‘diabolos’ which is typically translated into the figurative term “Satan!” in a personification by the Art Degree people writing the King James Bible, is simply a noun that perhaps could be translated more accurately as “interlocutor”…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlocutor_(linguistics)

“ In linguistics, discourse analysis, and related fields, an interlocutor is a person involved in a conversation or dialogue.”


Jesus famously tells Peter at one point when Peter is trying to argue with him about something , “go away behind me (get out of my face) Satan”…

It’s “get out of my face interlocutor”… it’s simply a noun designating someone attempting to dialog or argue…

No pointy tail and horns in his head or pitchforks..,,

The whole “New Testament” is just Jesus first trying to get corrupt Israel off Socrates and Plato and then when that didn’t work he sends Paul to try the same thing with fellow tektons in Greece and Rome..,,

That’s all it is nothing spooky.., nobody’s going to “hell!”…

Just Jesus and then Paul advocating against the dialogic method..,,

Matt Franko said...

And btw NO ONE with an Art Degree would tell you this…. Too scary!

Matt Franko said...

Here:

https://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/christianity/is-satan-in-the-old-testament.aspx

“ In the Old Testament being “the accuser” is, essentially, a job. The phrase is only used nine times, and in five of those uses, ha-satan is used to describe not an immortal demon but a human being who happens to be a military, political or legal enemy of Israel. ”

The whole thing is a reification of a figurative personification by Art Degree morons of a simple personal noun designating people like themselves.,,

And they’ll never admit it…

sths said...

Well Matt's interpretation certainly is more likely then angels and demons and horned beasts. But what does it say about humanity when we all believe the "art degree" version? Science degree people included.

Matt Franko said...

Things changed in 1860 when the Science Degree was first awarded…

All the people bitching about their student loans right now are all Art Degree people… idiot dumb AOC etc..,

They are trying to get their student loan debts absolved and if they are successful the whole Art Degree moron factory will reload financially for another round of making another generation stupid..,

If they don’t get this debt forgiveness passed then it will be a big loss for those moron forces,,,

In prophetic scripture I think this period we are in is described figuratively as “Michael does battle with the serpent”…

Here:

Revelation 12:7–10
“Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.”

If they don’t get their student loans absolved then Michael probably landed a big right cross to the side of the head staggering “Satan!”… (figuratively speaking)…

ie another win for Michaels side…

Matt Franko said...

iow this: “ “Michael and his angels fought against the dragon,” (figuratively)

this perhaps has been going on since about 1860 in real terms….

The prophecy would suggest eventually the Art Degree just goes away (defunded?) and the Science Degree takes over for quite some time,,,

Will lead to “heaven on earth” imo… while it lasts..,

Peter Pan said...

Old economy Steve didn't need an art degree, or any degree whatsoever, to pay off his student loans.

Matt Franko said...

Public Land Grant institutions traditionally have kept tuition low and affordable…

Back in 80s I paid $1180 per semester at our Land Grant…

They still are to a degree.. Pell grants more or less pay for tuition if student maintains a B average…

In AOC case she went to Boston University (Liberal Art School)

“ Boston University (BU) is a private research university in Boston, Massachusetts. The university is nonsectarian,[11] but has a historical affiliation with the United Methodist Church.[4][5][6] It was founded in 1839 by Methodists ”

Most of the premier liberal Art schools started off as Bible schools.., using Socratic/Platonist methodology… ie dialogic…

This was the only methodology taught till Land Grant institutions were established based on Scientific methodology..

Matt Franko said...

Boston U $58k per year tuition.. just looked it up..

We just put one thru our Land Grant iirc was about $12k annual…

Friend sent one to South Carolina was under $10k annual…

Matt Franko said...

You can see why AOC is always going all around pissed off about everything… she really got ripped off …

Now they want to absolve this moron generations debt and reload financially to rip off another generation they put thru their moron assembly line..

We’ll see… if they get it it would be a big victory for them…

Peter Pan said...

AOC driving a Tesla, according to reports.

Nice congressional salary has its upside.

Matt Franko said...

I look at her as a victim…

Peter Pan said...

I look upon her as a grifter...

Matt Franko said...

Well you have to look at what drove her into this…

Tom Hickey said...

How to spot a scientist. (cartoon)

Peter Pan said...

Well you have to look at what drove her into this…

What drove her into this?

Matt Franko said...

Her father (iirc licensed architect) didn’t survive and she was left without his counsel…

Not ideal…,

Peter Pan said...

She has misrepresented her family's financial status, which is upper middle class.

And don't get me started on her bartender career.

Peter Pan said...

Btw, my mother worked as a waitress and bartender throughout her adult life. She didn't need to go to university and rack up student debt, or pretend she was working class.

Matt Franko said...

She is actually pretty well trained for the current position she is in… US Representative…

She has BA in political economy and in that job you have to dialog with the other representatives..,

“We’re out of money,”

“No, we’re not out of money!”

Etc…

Peter Pan said...

She doesn't do anything but virtue signal to her followers.

All dialog, no action.

Peter Pan said...

Except of course, when it comes to funding a proxy war.
