It is so discouraging that she thinks that negotiations could possibly lead to peace. The only true peace will come with Russia defeated and Putin out of power.

Thanks for proving my point. Do you really not get that if the Democrats don't handily win the next election there will not be another one? You may be willing to play that game of roulette. I am not.

Steve Wilke (@drwilke.bsky.social) reply parent
What does that have to do with your original post? He's simply saying use words that all people can relate to and don't feel they are being talked down to, i.e., hungry is a much more powerful word than food insecurity.

Bolton’s home raided, Gen. Kruse fired, Epstein coverup proceeds, seizure of 10% of Intel another step towards state capitalism. Just one day in the somewhat chaotic but directionally purposeful march towards…despotism. Does anyone think they’re doing all this so they can hand over power in 2028?

Conversation with Paul Krugman appeared just a little while ago. We discuss the war in Ukraine, and the appalling state of military analysis, the power of groupthink, etc. We also delve into my new book, War and Power. Enjoy. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

I'm curious why "a well regulated militia" is never part of any 2nd Amendment discussion. Doesn't the amendment imply the purpose for owning a gun is so you can join your local militia when you are needed?
Steve Wilke (@drwilke.bsky.social) reply parent
I believe you but isn't that a perfect microcosm of where we are? Trump ran against Clinton, Biden and Harris, none of which would be the bogeyman the people you described believed them to be.

And sometimes the part of the next ticket would tear off with the ticket for that week so the next week the customer would argue that they'd already paid because there wasn't a whole ticket for that week.

It just struck me wrong as my experience as a paper boy was dramatically different. And for me, surprising how powerful a 50 year old memory can be. So, I certainly wouldn't say I was arguing with you. It's not like I blasphemed Grandma's lamb recipe 😉
Steve Wilke (@drwilke.bsky.social) reply parent
The Des Moines Register made us knock on every door every week and have them pay us cash or check and tear off their ticket for that week. I can't even fathom how awesome your system was.

And, of course, go back over and over to try and catch the people that were never home as you had to pay the publisher even though your customer hadn't paid you. Appreciate you, Tom, but you do have some horrendously stupid takes sometimes

If you think this is exactly how it worked things were very different out east or you weren't a paper boy. You had to take your Saturday morning, after you delivered the paper at 6:00 am to go back out and collect the money for the papers you had delivered the previous week. .
