Earl I just want to say that you have your opinion as do others and I respect it nobody really knows what the truth is bar those that think MSM is the only fact giving honest reviews,,,
I have also sourced that the annexed parts of Ukrain are culturally 99% Russian people who have been raped.beaten and killed by the Ukrainian Azov Nazi Battalion...thats why Putin invaded the place because he is protecting his own people,before you tell me he is murdering Ukrainian people,they are being killed by the same Nazis as the Russian people are...Its the most corrupt country in the world,thats why the Clintons,Obamas,Bidens and Kerry have such an interest in the place...Money laundering by FTX which has now been found out...dont bag me for my opinion Earl,I do my research and dont follow any main stream media that promote lies and agendas that they get paid for..I am a well educated business person who can form an opinion without following along with people who may not be as well educated and follow what they think they are told to do...once again Earl I respect your input and it would be a boring place if we couldnt converse in a civil manner,we may all differ in opinions but we are all human beings made in the image of God,he created us equal with our own unique personalities...

I haven't watched it, as it would basically be similar reasoning as that of much of eastern Ukraine is heavily influenced. Cultural and/or actual genocide on a massive scale.

Maybe those doing so can stop looking at the likes of Charlie Kirk, Breitbart etcetera, instead looking to history of the last century and more across the region, rather than through a very narrow political, or worse, QAnon type lense.

Most nations have ethnically diverse populations, including Russia, who invaded a country that it and the rest of the world recognised, no ifs, no buts.

"I haven't watched it"

Nothing like formerguest to offer his informed opinion. Wowzers, this guy.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Its only rubbis



This is only rubbish in your opinion Tim Sheens or FG,once again if someone has a differing opinion or has done their own research but it doesnt agree with your opinion then you go straight on the defensive and tell them to take their rubbish to Truth Social...
Apparently it is Trumps media,I dont go on it...
Rubbish in your opinion,but could be fact in others opinions...
People are still allowed to form their own opinions which ever way they side..
civil conversations make for good topics when looked at from all sides of the arguments,not just one side who thinks they are right and the rest are rubbish....

It is rubbish.

I have watched local Republican election officials state exactly that during the process.

Well if thats the bench mark,

I've seen local Republican election officials state there was mishandling of ballots during the process.

I wish you were saying that when the left were practicing onanism over the biggest conspiracy theory of all time. #Russiagate.

And what would that conspiracy theory be, Billy?

I know the history, whereas you need to learn it.

Its in the reply you posted. Did you miss the last 6 years, Bogan?

 

[Winston Churchill]

Sick burn.

Maybe next time when going off on one of your left wing conspiracy rants you could include a citation. Just saying.

 

[Winston Churchill]

The democrats have no shame.

Cant wait for the House to expose these creatures.

Now with Twitter free and open, there is no hiding it.

2024 is going to be very hard for the propaganda arm of the DNC to continue their ways.

Oh, a hashtag is a complex conspiracy now.

Self education and all that jazz, I guess.

So you are in the 'politics super thread' and have never heard of Russiagate. The only story that was played for 3 years straight in world politics. I see we can value your input around this thread going forward.

Why Jordan Peterson Is Always Wrong

Jordan Peterson is one of the most famous public intellectuals in the world. But his pronouncements in favor of capitalism and hierarchy collapse at the slightest bit of scrutiny.

jacobin.com

The word “pronoun” doesn’t appear anywhere in the text of the statute, and the Canadian Bar Association weighed in to say that the idea the amendment would “force individuals to embrace concepts, even use pronouns, which they find objectionable” was based on a basic “misunderstanding” of how human rights legislation works.

I see a lot of Jordan Peterson videos that get posted. I've read both his books and they aren't bad. They aren't good but they aren't bad. I also read books and various other sources of information that critique him. This is call developing a balanced opinion.

If anyone is actually listening to the guy to make sense out of modern day politics of geopolitics you are barking up the wrong tree.

The guy lies and lies and lies and lies. He is very similar to Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon. He continually misrepresents reality and then argues against that point. It's so stupid. If you read about how he got famous he did exactly this. I quoted the point above. He stated he wasn't going to be told how to talk to people but that wasn't anything at all like what that piece of legislation stated. Go and fact check it if you don't believe me.

I also think he is stupid or maybe better put he uses really dumb arguments. On top of that if you've actually his latest book you read and at the same time you think to yourself how can this guy be so stupid and/or hypocritical. He basically admits to being addicted to I forget what drug but it was really bad and then he goes to some crazy Russian health spot which is so dodgy and he is just a mess. Then he preaches how not to preach about the world unless you have your life in order.

One of the biggest letdowns for me in the self help genre.
