ROK Drop Open Thread – March 8, 2015

Just like a GOP Ferguson, MO judge…
Ronald J Brockmeyer, who is accused of fixing traffic tickets for himself and associates, was a driving force behind using fines and fees to generate revenue.

The judge in Ferguson, Missouri, who is accused of fixing traffic tickets for himself and colleagues while inflicting a punishing regime of fines and fees on the city’s residents, also owes more than $170,000 in unpaid taxes.

Ronald J Brockmeyer, whose court allegedly jailed impoverished defendants unable to pay fines of a few hundred dollars, has a string of outstanding debts to the US government dating back to 2007, according to tax filings obtained by the Guardian from authorities in Missouri.

Brockmeyer, 70, was this week singled out by Department of Justice investigators as being a driving force behind Ferguson’s strategy of using its municipal court to aggressively generate revenues.

As well as being a judge in Ferguson’s municipal court, Ronald Brockmeyer is also a prosecutor in two nearby cities and a private attorney.”

Happy 50th “Bloody Sunday” Anniversary Selma Alabama!!!
The last civil rights commemoration was in Aug. 2013, a massive event held at the Lincoln Memorial to honor the March on Washington where Dr. Martin Luther King gave his “I Have A Dream” speech. There, not 1 GOP congressional leadership was attended. So, it’s not a surprise they’ll be absent again for this next one…
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/gop-leaders-to-skip-selma-event-115801.html
“Scores of U.S. lawmakers are converging on tiny Selma, Alabama, for a large commemoration of a civil rights anniversary. But their ranks don’t include a single member of House Republican leadership — a point that isn’t lost on congressional black leaders.
None of the top leaders — House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy or Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who was once thought likely to attend to atone for reports that he once spoke before a white supremacist group — will be in Selma for the three-day event that commemorates the 1965 march and the violence that protesters faced at the hands of white police officers.
Lawmakers awarded the Congressional Gold Medal to the 1965 marchers on Monday, ahead of the 50th anniversary event.”

Oh yeah, and here is more on Steve Scalise and the GOP.

Steve Scalise, house majority whip/3rd man in charge of house GOP’s/racist and speaker to David Duke’s white supremacy group from Louisiana was chosen to count/wrangle up the votes, so how has he been doing?

House GOP introduced they yanked abortion bill after revolt.

House pulls border vote.

House Republican leaders scrap education vote.

House introduced, didn’t yank, then failed to pass the temporary funding plan for Dept. of Homeland Security/DHS (until the democrats/Nancy Pelosi saved the day to help pass a clean DHS version(Immigration not included/attached ).

So, the house GOP loses again! The GOP doesn’t really care about Iran and ISIS and Homeland Security and etc…

Loretta Lynch is still waiting for the GOP to vote on her nomination. No Attorney General nominee has ever waited so long in decades for a vote on her nomination even though there aren’t any essential objections to her vote. I didn’t know the GOP likes Eric Holder so much!

Ashton Baldwin “Ash” Carter (white man) was nominated as defense secretary after Loretta Lynch but somehow the GOP already voted for him and has been sworn in/Feb. 17th.

“even though there aren’t any essential objections to her vote. I didn’t know the GOP likes Eric Holder so much!”

Ha!

She is a FAR bigger shytbag than Holder… and that is saying a LOT.

She might be even more of a danger to liberals and Democrats than conservatives or Republicans. This is because she LOVES asset forfeiture… and the biggest victims of asset forfeiture are those who use drugs… even if it is a little bit of pot…

…and liberals are much more… uh… liberal… about the use of pot.

Cheer her on, Tbone. Liberals are good at licking the boot that kicks them hardest. So are the current crop of Republicans… who are certainly NOT conservatives.

Tbone, you are absolutely right every time you call Republican “leadership” big piles of shyt. But don’t think for a moment that Democratic “leadership” is any better.

Both parties simply want to raape you and take your stuff while blaming the other guys… and they work with Wall Street, Big Business, government agencies, “community organizers”, other governments, and even each other, to do that… be it by increased taxes, burdensome regulations, intrusive laws, crony capitalism, deficit spending, pet projects, secret deals, etc.

The funny thing is, Tbone, every time you come on here with your pusssy flapping over the latest GOP outrage, nobody even attempts to defend them… or wishes to… because you are pretty much right, even when you are completely wrong about the actual facts or their interpretation.

The reason you get no respect is not because of you borderline-crazy anti-GOP rants. It is because you seem to think that Republicans and Democrats are the opposite… so if Republicans are bad, Democrats must be good. And that is very far from the truth.

Democrats are just very good at appealing to emotion… and liberals are an emotional lot…

…except for the Limousine Liberal crowd who play the game with puppydog eyes but are every bit as coldly calculating as the shiittiest rich, white, privileged, darkie-hating, woman-bashing, Bible-thumping, Drug War mongering Wall Street Republican.

If you addressed issues by laying out the facts, describing the problems, and proposing solutions, you could bash Republicans all day long… and even have people nodding their heads and thinking your are pretty smart. But if you sincerely did that, you might recognize they are only half the problem… and for some reason, you are incapable of recognizing that.

But back to the point. Perhaps decisions on Loretta Lynch are being delayed because she is dangerous rather than because she is black.

But with this in mind, what was the Democratic delay with Clarence Thomas’ Supreme Court nomination? Racism, obviously. Democrats just don’t like colored folk, right?

Holy Shyt!

White people engaged in illegal sledding? What the fukk is this world coming to?

Now imagine if white people burned and looted. Would the cops and national guard simply stand by?

There is a double standard… but it isn’t quite what you would like to believe.

Let’s look further…

The U.S. Code, 2 USC 1963 states ‘It shall be the duty of the Capitol police on and after April 29, 1876, to precent any portion of the Capitol Grounds and terraces from being used as playgrounds or otherwise, so far as may be necessary to protect the public property, turf and grass from destruction or injury.’

This law (or is it a rule?) is pretty open to interpretation… dependent on if sledding will damage turf, grass, or public property… not quite as clear-cut as, say, looting a convenience store.

One might even speculate that sledding on Capitol Hill is barely a crime, unlike burning a cake shop or throwing rocks at cops… and only ranks as high as civil infraction.

Tbone, there are so many things you could push in everyone’s face to get them thinking… and, perhaps, even change their minds closer to your way of thinking.

Fretting over people peacefully sledding in harmony on public land is not one of them… and, as it benefits everyone, from liberal to conservative and communist to fascist, it should be a perfect example of needless government over-regulation that everyone works together to resist.

…but, of course, no issue is important enough that it can’t be diluted with a little fake racism.

What’s up with black youth not being able to resist the temptation to play in the street and then fight cops over it?

It looks like even black protesters are getting Afro-fatigue.

Leon,

Unless Michele is his “beard”, I don’t think Barry’s “sold out to Allah” (definition of Muslim). It’s more likely he’s “a little light on his feet” from his association with Bill Ayres. You might want to read about the way they indoctrinated the Weather Underground…

And from what I’ve heard, cigars and dresses might be familiar to him. But not in the same way they were to Bill… Ask Reggie if you need more info.

It’s more likely that he’s just one of those folks who think you can negotiate with a virus or a wolf-pack. The kind of sheeple that used to self-delete from the gene pool by the results of their poor choices.

C’est la vie.

Thanks Setnaffa for bringing something new to the table. I’m not bullshitting. I have never heard the Gay-Tranny-Obammy theory, and I watch listen to Fox News (radio and tv) regularly. This is truly a new one and a gift. I will Google it.

Also, I fear for your immortal soul. Why do you hate so much?

Titus 3:1,2
1 Peter 2:1

Leon, you are increasingly becoming like those you once condemned back in the day when your comments were clever, insightful, and relevant.

Like the liberal media and other left-wing shills, you constantly focus on the outrageous nonsense of a fringe minority of assorted nutjobs as if it is the common belief of the mainstream conservative opposition.

In doing so, it ignores valid criticisms by trying to associate all questioning of Obama as coming from the same source. It further keeps attention focused on sensational non-issues to obscure actual issues.

If you mixed up your rather shoddy and humorless Obama schtick with some valid satire or pointed observations, it might succeed.

Instead, you come off sounding more and more like Tbone rambling on with some kind of flighty nonsense that never actually reaches a point.

Leon, I know you are better than this. You are intelligent and capable. You have awareness and wisdom. And you have demonstrated this in the past… as I once sought your comments, as they would be worth a chuckle or a moment of thought.

Please come back to us.

And, of course, Michelle is not a tranny. No self-respecting tranny without a serious crack habit would let themselves go like that.

Liz, with 85%+ of “news” actually being opinion, frequently based on twisted or incomplete facts, it is no wonder that nothing makes sense. Any stories that are promoted are not done to inform, but rather to serve some other purpose… generally by provoking an emotional response.

This story is being promoted now because it is well before any election… and, conveniently, with no evidence, it is designed to burn out long before election time. At that time, anybody who asks about this “long-ago resolved” scandal will be branded a misogynist or right-wing nutjob.

It is a smart move on Hillary’s part… as there is unlikely to be any penalty, or even scandal, for keeping tight and exclusive control over any evidence that could be used against her. Hard drive crashes or other excuses can be used to keep any potentially scandalous communication away from the public.

This action is likely just a simple unethical, and possibly illegal, action used to obscure larger unethical and illegal actions.

But nobody will chase this down… because those who have the power to do so are engaged in similar things one way or another.

Good thing tbone is there to defend the convents of the world. BTW, not to be nosy, how long has he been a fan of the Catholic Church?

NetanYahoo Speech Did Not Help Him At Home

NetanYahoo can’t even win in Israel but the GOP loves him more than Obama and would prefer him over Obama.

Who’d a thunk it?

There were 180 Israeli Ex-Military Chiefs that Opposed Netanyahu’s Speech beforehand but of course the EGGHEAD(chicken like) wouldn’t listen and had to give his 3rd end of the world speech in 18 years which the GOP LOVED!!!

“A new Jerusalem Post poll finds Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the U.S. Congress did not help his Likud party cut the Zionist Union’s two-seat lead.

If the March 17 election were held now, the Zionist Union would beat the Likud, 24 Knesset seats to 22, the poll found. In last week’s survey, the Zionist Union received 25 seats and Likud 23.”

EGGHEAD, you try to say the democrats are just as bad as the republicans so show me something as of late that compares to my last two posts.

You know, the in Vogue Racism within the GOP and organized speech to congress without consulting the White House.

If you want you can include in your comparison your own mentioned…

“Drug War and WAR mongerers” & Bible-thumping Anti-Semitic/Anti-Mormon/Anti-Muslim/Anti-Gay/Anti-black man Haters etc…

Per Hillary, I think that must be it, CH!
Maybe this is the blue dress, revisited and in the future after this is brushed over and by the time the election rolls around everything will become about her “personal correspondence”.

“My personal correspondence shouldn’t matter…we need to stick to the issues…”

“Hillary, what about how you handled Libya?”

“My personal correspondence shouldn’t matter! I can’t believe how obsessed with titillation all you dinosaur puritans are!”

Republican Congressman: Selma’s Bloody Sunday Was ‘Comparatively Bloodless’
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) weighed in on the absence of Republican leadership at the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Bloody Sunday march.
http://freakoutnation.com/2015/03/gop-congressman-selmas-bloody-sunday-was-bloodless/
“Bloodless? Tell that to Congressman John Lewis (D-Ga.) who suffered from a cracked skull in 1965.

Tell that to activist and deacon Jimmie Lee Jackson who was fatally shot days before the march by a state trooper during a peaceful march in Marion, Alabama.

Tell that to the 600 marchers who were attacked at the Edmund Pettus Bridge after leaving Selma; state troopers and county posse attacked the unarmed marchers with billy clubs and tear gas.

Tell that to Ms. Amelia Boynton, who was beaten until unconscious.

Tell that to civil rights activist James Reeb. A white group beat and murdered the Unitarian Universalist minister from Boston, who had come to Selma to march in the second march.

The list goes on.”

(Some signatures were difficult to make out, but this is my best effort at the entire list of traitorous greedy warmongering presumptuous Republicans.)

I agree that many traitorous Republicans should go die in a fire.

They should then be followed by all the traitorous Democrats who sold America out to the Soviet ideals of crony communism.

There’s a Black Students Association, Hispanic Students Association, and Asian Students Association. Why is there not a White Students Association?

Chickenhead, I do not ignore the shortcomings of Obammy. I feel no need to dwell on them because we are all subjected to them (real and imagined) 24/7.

You still seem to insinuate (yet again) I somehow am a leftist. I am not, I merely point out those with Obammy Derangement Syndrome. I pretty much ignore tbone all together. That leaves a smattering of other commenters. Then there’s the humorless and dull far rightists whom you also can’t reason with, because Jebus!

I would love to rise to the occasion again, should I be properly motivated by the material provided by others.

EGGHEAD…”They should then be followed by all the traitorous Democrats who sold America out to the Soviet ideals of crony communism.”

Please elaborate EGGGEAD! Oh I know, Obama gave Cremia to Putin. The President of the USA deals in foreign policy first, not the congress or senate.

You simply CAN’T compare what the GOP has done to your idea of an “ideology” you EGGHEAD,

GOP senators’ letter to Iran is dangerous and irresponsible
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2015/03/10/gop-senators-letter-to-iran-is-dangerous-and-irresponsible/

A Korean citizen can sue another Korean citizen in US courts instead of going through Korean courts?

In a Korean court she’d probably get no more the 5,000,000 KRW. In the US? No telling but 5,000,000 USD wouldn’t be out of the question.

Come on, guys… you see the deal, right?

The flight attendant sues the Nut Lady.

The Nut Lady is in jail in Korea so she cannot go to court in America. If she does not show up, there will be an automatic judgement against her. If she does not pay, she is found in contempt. There won’t be US Marshals trying to extradite her back to the States… but she can never go back to America.

Of course that won’t happen… as she will have a lawyer delay the trial until she gets out of jail.

But that’s all just laying a foundation for the REAL deal…

…for suing Korea Airlines.

And that’s when the pockets get REALLY deep.

…and, on this analysis, I would stake my law degree from the University of Armchair.

Thanks JoeC ref Korean citizen suing another Korean citizen in US Courts.

Jurisdiction is the key!

And yeah, it just sounds crazy to me if it was completely reversed- an American suing another American in Korean courts for an incident that happened in Seoul on an American airliner.

Thanks.

Tbone, you will always be stupid if you listen to stupid people… or smart people who wish to manipulate you. You are a true tool… though a tool would be strong and useful… making you more of a utensil.

Puerto Rico’s statehood has nothing to do with racism… nor partisan politics… both parties support Puerto Rico’s statehood… with even Ronald Reagan as an outspoken advocate. It is good for America.

Bit it is about what the people of Puerto Rico want. After 4 referendums, the citizens of Puerto Rico have not had a majority support statehood… and, while the last referendum, for the first time, had a majority of voters want a change in status, less than 50% voted for statehood… and a leading statehood advocate lost an election. Not a big sign of support.

Apart for “having a vote that counts”, there is no benefit for Puerto Ricans. They will start having to pay federal taxes but no big wave of federal cash is going to come in.

…and most of them can see how useful “a vote that counts” is to the rest of America.

Puerto Rico has serious problems… but most of them come from Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans… and not the imaginary racism of white people… most of which are barely aware it exists.

Find a new issue, Utensil.

EGGHEAD says…”with even Ronald Reagan as an outspoken advocate. It is good for America.”

What your old boy Ronald said isn’t good enough these days for the moderate GOP you EGGHEAD, nor is it good enough obviously for the more extreme GOP like yourself.

EGGHEAD says…”Puerto Rico’s statehood has nothing to do with racism”

EGGHEAD tries to twist the story his way from equal voting rights for ALL U.S. citizens including 5 island territories(not just Puerto Rico EGGHEAD) which includes millions of veterans to a denial of racism or “statehood.”

This is about U.S. Supreme Court Downes vs. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244(1901), which is simply a law that can be changed since it was about duties/import taxes and NOT about voting rights for ALL U.S. citizens.

The racial or ethnic population in U.S. territories is 98.4% ~ of course it’s not about “racism.” Hehehehehe!!!!!

It’s about the GOP not wanting minorities who usually vote democratic from having the right to vote.

The voting irregularities in these U.S. territories is based on a 1901(Downes vs. Bidwell) law that has to do with “ALIEN RACES(because they might not be able to understand Anglo-Saxon principles/laws, therefore the constitution doesn’t have to apply to them “ALIEN RACES).”

Hehehehehe!!!!!

Yet EGGHEAD denies that this has to do with race. Hehehehehe!!!!!

Even the guy[Justice Henry Billings Brown(also wrote the “Separate But Equal” decision in Plessy vs. Ferguson) who wrote the first of the ruling suggested the ruling was only to last “for a time” which meant he didn’t expect it to stand for so long].

EGGHEAD obviously didn’t watch the video to learn something because he pretends to know everything as it takes him back to his childhood pretend stage.

Sorry EGGHEAD,

EGGHEAD says…”and most of them can see how useful “a vote that counts” is to the rest of America.”

Sure thing EGGHEAD, go ahead and try to minimize the vote. You’re such a GOP EGGHEAD!

Next, EGGHEAD will be telling you that Justice Sonia Sotomayor is the daughter of Puerto Rican immigrants.

What should be done with the Puerto Rican congressional delegate Pedro Pierluisi?

Statehood doesn’t have to be the end all to whether ALL U.S. citizens have voting equal rights(especially servethemselfmember VETERANS).

Non U.S. citizen “servicemembers” are recruited to “serve” in the military and if those “ALIENS” somehow do their time they can vote but not U.S. citizens. Sure EGGHEAD, keep trying you GOP TOOLISH EGGHEAD!!!

http://billmoyers.com/2015/03/11/video-john-oliver-people-color-barred-voting/
“Anglo-Saxon values” makes an appearance as comedian John Oliver revisits the racist roots of why more than 4 million Americans in US territories, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Marianas and the U.S. Virgin Islands can fight for their country but still can’t vote.

Part of tbone’s psychosis is that he can’t tell the difference between Grahamnesty and an actual Republican.

The other part is that he blames the GOP for Obama/Clinton/Kerry failures. The Iranians saw how Barry reacted to Syria, Libya, and Yemen. Why should they hae respect when the leadership are all (apparently) cowards?

setnaffa, you’re so full of it you can’t even explain yourself. So, tell us why Graham ain’t an “actual” GOP?

And while you’re at it tell us how Obama a “coward” when it comes to “Syria, Libya, and Yemen?” Don’t forget the “agreement” being negotiated has behind it China, Russia, etc…

EGGHEAD…”it’s about statehood.”

Really EGGHEAD? If so then how come Red States continue to Ripoff the Feds and get by with it???

The red state ripoff,
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/04/the_red_state_ripoff.html
Over at the Fourth Branch, they’ve got a nice map showing the states that receive more than a dollar back for every dollar they pay in taxes (which they’ve coded red), and the states that receive less than a dollar back for every dollar they pay in taxes (which they’ve coded blue). Just to repeat: Red states are getting a good deal, and blue states a bad one. Here’s the map:

‘Kerry says Congress cannot modify potential Iran nuclear deal’
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2015-03/12/c_134059322.htm
The P5+1 group, consisting of the U.S., Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany, is negotiating with Iran over its nuclear program in hopes of reaching a framework deal by the end of the month. The deal would likely oblige Iran to cut back its nuclear program — reportedly for at least ten years — in exchange for a loosening of crippling economic sanctions.

On Wednesday, Kerry said his reaction to the letter was “utter disbelief”, adding that it “ignores more than two centuries of precedent in the conduct of American foreign policy.”

“During my 29 years here in the Senate, I never heard of nor even heard of it being proposed anything comparable to this,” said the U.S. top diplomat.

He also warned that the Republican Senators’ move could harm global trust in the United States.

“This risks undermining the confidence that foreign governments, in thousands of important agreements, commit to between the United States and other countries,” he said.

EGGHEAD is a RACIST and MORE,
“America was built…”

EGGHEAD says…”and, until diluted, they made America a global leader in everything from literacy rates to living standards.”

Let’s pretend(you’re good at that), that your “values” have been diluted for a moment, who allowed that? Wait, don’t tell me Anglo-Saxons?

Go cry in your F****** R***** EGGHEAD servicethemselves and contractors prostitution beer and drugs you alcoholic and drug taker & HIV/AIDS spreader.

Remember how Obama was diluting American values with Ebola, followed by ISIS, and now Hillary’s emails?

Update on Ebola and/or ISIS…

http://thedailybanter.com/2015/03/know-isis-getting-balls-beat-off-tikrit/
“It might seem like Hillary Clinton’s emails are the biggest story in the world right now, but prior to this week, there was an even greater threat to humanity than a MacGyvered-up Hotmail account, and it was called ISIS. This week, Iraqi forces have been conducting an assault on ISIS-held Tikrit, hometown of late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. You might not have heard much about it, because remember how the White House press spent the week making 231 references to Hillary Clinton’s email? Well, there was exactly one question asked about the assault on Tikrit.”

http://thedailybanter.com/2015/03/remember-isis-theyre-shooting-their-fleeing-comrades-now/
“There’s no doubt that this Tikrit operation is a major front in the fight against ISIL, and we are pleased to see that Iraqi forces have been advancing, and we are aware of reports that ISIL fighters are actually withdrawing from the area in the face of this offensive from Iraqi security forces.

“We’ve also seen the pressure that’s being applied to ISIL forces in this area has caused some ISIL forces to even desert their posts. And there are reports that commanders, ISIL commanders are actually resorting to executing their own troops to prevent them from deserting. This is an indication of the significant pressure that’s being applied.”

setnaffa stupid says…”The Iranians saw how Barry reacted to Syria, Libya, and Yemen.”

Who is Barry? It’s the republicans who don’t care about the security of the USA seen recently on Homeland Security and there delay in discussing Syria(from the link above)…
“Of course, it was the Republicans who were most convinced that ISIS was going to come and kill us all, but as Pickler’s followup question illustrates, they don’t seem all that interested in authorizing the President to fight them:

You F****** idiot!!!

EGGHEAD says…”If you disagree with my facts or analysis, lay out your case in a clear and reasonable way. If not, back in the kitchen drawer with you.”

Let’s just discuss what you want to talk about, is that the way(Anglo-Saxon) it goes? If that’s all you got out of my comment#48) and points then stick yourdildoupyourazz like you do everyday before and after work whether straight, or on all those drugs/alcohol.

I’ll “state thy case” when you do about the following of which you ignored(comment #48), as I mentioned you twist major conversation into shyte like i.e. Anglo-Saxon and IGNORE the more pertinent points such as THE LAW based on “ALIEN RACES” which I clearly included.

T. Cotton Greased by Israel hardliners for WAR, not Peace. Oh, and Tom Cotton(Arkansas) is a freshmen GOP who couldn’t have written the letter while 46 other GOP’s sign on with Israeli written WAR MONGERERS. But why? Because Tom Cotton got nearly 1 MILLION DOLLARS for political adverts from Greaseballs from Israel.

This makes the Clinton fund which supposedly received money from a foreign country non important as it certainly didn’t go to support WAR DOG DUMMY volunteers.

U.S. Hawks and Israel hardliners, that’s who servethemselfmembers(U.S. military hypocrites) fight and die for, they don’t die or fight for me. Go ahead and serve yourself, NRA, American WAR HAWKS and the Jewish state you stupid WAR DOGS.

We are heading back to Cold War era conflict by proxy.

Will our American Putin fans also be called ‘useful idiots’?

#57. Yes, that.

Setnaffa, Tbone’s mother also had substance abuse problems… so he is sensitive.

As for me, I am a Putin fan only in the sense that he actually appears to work for the betterment of Russia instead of selling his country out to multinationals and (ironically) sociialists who would rather see the population poor and dependent than industrious and self-sufficient (as both parties in America seem to find fashionable).

Putin seems to have “won” against the opposition in Chechnya (be they classed as terrorists, insurgents, freedom fighters, etc)… something American military leaders and chickenhawk politicians should study as we return to square one (or less) after a decade-plus of war. In fact, American “leadership” is so politically helpless they can’t even control true civil unrest in Ferguson… even while they hassle old ladies at the airport, serve no-knock warrants on pot smokers, and shoot friendly dogs.

Putin has successfully obtained Crimea with a minimum of effort… and almost no resistance from anyone involved, including the spineless global “leadership” community staffed by the likes of Obama and the other ineffective European leaders that have nowhere near the stature of past leaders.

Under Putin, the Yeltsin-era oligarchs no longer exclusively control everything and average Russians are much better off economically… a reversal of the trend that is happening in America as Big Business and Wall Street work closely with the government to shrink the middle class (e.g. pushing for more cheap foreign labor).

In the end, Putin is a hard sonofabiitch… running a hard country… with a seemingly clear vision of where he wants it to go… and that is not all in his pocket, as many other strongmen leaders are apt to do.

Like the dictatorships of South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, history will likely look back at Putin with a large degree of thankfulness… and Russia, and Russians, will be better off because of him. He will be remembered for his accomplishments for Russia. Contrast that with St. Obama who will likely be remembered only for being black… which, as he is half white, even that will be a manufactured “accomplishment”.

I am not making any judgement about individual actions or methods, which can be open to some serious discussion… but I believe Putin has the best interest of Russia (and perhaps Russians) as motivation for many of the things that he does.

I have lost confidence that many (any?) American “leaders” have this same interest in the long-term success of America as a nation or a people… and, for every crappy thing Putin has done, I likely can give an example of a similar thing in America… but done without the best interests of America in mind.

So, yes, I guess I am a bit of a Putin “fan” in that sense… but likely not useful to him at all.

I should also add that I don’t really follow Putin, except what events I pick up in the “news” combined with guesses at the truth when I see clear pro and anti-Putin propaganda… so somebody could convince me to change my opinion by countering what I have written with facts and sound analysis.

tbone apparently does have mommy issues: “What has my mother got to do with anything you shytpie mouth?”

Most folks wouldn’t reference either of their parents in a sentence containing such vulgarities.

Mr. Putin is more honest about his desire to be the Big Cheese that Mr Obama. And he does pull off the butch tiger-riding, bear-whupping things Mom-Jeans can’t seem to master…

RE: Tyrants

http://www.the-american-interest.com/2015/03/13/the-tyrants-hopelessness/

Feel sorry for them…

Another thought…

Too often in Western media, Putin is credited with creating the oligarchs… yet the reality is he inherited this from almost a decade of post-Soviet Yeltsin rule.

A big accomplishment of Putin is that he managed to unify Russia by firmly controlling the destructive regionalism developing under the oligarchy… through distasteful-but-necessary alliances.

But in doing so, a great deal of wealth fell into the hands of the exponentially growing middle class. It was skillful politics to do this… and it would be interesting to hear the musings of armchair dictators suggesting how they would have done it differently without the characteristic of Putin which they are critical of.

Much of the criticism of Putin ignores his actual accomplishments in a complex and hostile environment and complains that he did not do more… using unrealistic expectations as some sort of benchmark and then declaring failure. This reeks of anti-Putin/anti-Russian propaganda.

I might add that Leon likely has some wise insight onto this… and if he can stop fapping off to Obammy, our gay muslim communist dictator, long enough to share it, we would appreciate it.

Perhaps this says a few things well:

“Putin came into office when the worst regime was established: the economy was “totally decentralized”, and “the state had lost central authority, while the oligarchs robbed the country and controlled its power institutions.” In two years, Putin has restored hierarchy of power, ending the omnipotence of regional elites as well as destroying political influence of “oligarchs and oligopolies in the federal center.” The Family, Boris Yeltsin-era non-institutional center of power, was ruined, which, according to Migranyan, in turn undercut the positions of the actors, such as Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky, who had sought to privatize the Russian state “with all of its resources and institutions”.”

As i read more on this issue today, I become further convinced that Putin is exactly the leader Russia has needed… and I believe he has Russia’s interests in mind far more than those he has struggled against or taken power from.

…and much of the criticism I have read appears to be written as propaganda, with weasel words and speculation rather than a clear display of facts… reading more like a global warming lecture than a study of reality.

We lie to ourselves at our own peril.

Who came up with the word “angry” to describe this Thai lady’s take on what she was witnessing? I would be more inclined to describe it as annoyed or incredulous.

If an authorized Chinese website told me water was wet, I’d start to disbelieve it.
