Yeah. My apologies for being too quick on the draw. After that “airport manager” woman, nothing seems too stupid anymore ---

That’s truly amazing. I honestly thought that those folks up North new more about their government than your average American does about theirs. We now have some clown telling a Canadian judge they’re protected by the First Amendment and these idiots trying to “register their votes”. I’d dearly love to see what grades they earned in civics (or whatever the Canadian equivalent is) class. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > I honestly thought that those folks up North new more about their government than your average American does about theirs. See, that’s the type of “We’re #1”/“USA! USA!” crap that makes other countries hate us. You think American’s are especially stupid because you’re exposed to them all the time (and America’s global cultural impact). Other countries have people who are just as pig-ignorant about their country and the world as many Americans. I was going to say “or moreso”, but that does seem unlikely. ---

No way! There may be dumb people elsewhere in the world, but we do dumb better than anybody else. There’s nobody else who can and does combine our relative power and wealth with the exceptional lengths to which we go to demonstrate our inanity ---

Tulsi Gabbard today. This war and suffering could have easily been avoided if Biden Admin/NATO had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine’s becoming a member of NATO, which would mean US/NATO forces right on Russia’s border > Biden/Harris tell us we must bear the cost to defend freedom in Ukraine. But while you & your family struggle w/ higher prices, the Power Elite won’t suffer at all. And if the conflict goes nuclear they’ll be safe in bunkers while you, I, & our loved ones are left without shelter > Warmongers have got what they wanted: firmly establish new Cold War, guaranteed trillion$ for the Power Elite (including military industrial security complex and mainstream media). > ---
