America’s use of drones against foreign countries is the epitome of might-makes-right policy. It’s extrajudicial, it’s an act of war, it’s brazen murder without justification. The US gets away with it for one simple reason: no one can stop it. And American citizens never put themselves in the position of being the victims, only the perpetrators. What if that were to change? One day it no doubt will.
It must be frustrating for President Biden to try to convince Americans that they are doing better than they feel they are doing. After all, the stock market is doing well, there is strong job growth and it’s easy to get a raise. But people are really obsessed about inflation and nothing Democrats say is going to change their minds.
Leading Democrats repeatedly tell progressive that progressives are not needed by the party and that the party needs to appeal to centrist Republicans instead. But then they complain when progressives stay away. They should probably get their message straight.
The stock market is booming. Job growth is high. It’s never been easier to find a job already get a raise. But inflation is bumming out the business community and their conservative allies.
When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, the US government should have began immediately shipping hundreds of masks to every American family from some giant warehouse somewhere. Now it’s the third year of the pandemic and everyone is getting one. If it’s the thought that counts, there hasn’t been much thought.
Remember when stupid people talked about stupid things like reality TV and sports? Remember how annoying that was? Covid talk makes me really miss that.
First the United States and its allies pressure Russia by placing missiles in Poland, near its border. Then the West tries to expand NATO right up to the Russian border, by inviting Ukraine to join. When the Russians respond by massing troops along their own border, we have the unmitigated nerve to say that they are provoking us.
The filibuster is the most powerful legislative tool available to the minority in the United States Senate. Why on earth would Democrats want to get rid of it now that there is an overwhelming likelihood they will lose control of the Senate this November?
What’s better to draw about, something people care about? Or something people should care about it? Guess which one pays better.
