Spot-on, Rich. Just love your concluding line that "tyranny is timeless," and it is. Who cares that Biden is 81 years old? I would rather choose him any day over a bloviating, Alzheimer's-ridden candidate who has screwed democracy big time!

Nicely said. Thank you. Perhaps calling out the MAGA/GOP/WCN Republican faction as the violent extremists they actually are makes the descriptive process easier. I’m hopeful such a description can separate actual conservative Republicans from the extremists in everyone’s minds.

To understand is not to condone, Putin’s policies. Western media has a track record of propaganda themselves when it comes to NATO/Russia/Ukraine. Twitter files investigations reveal much of it. I also was a lifelong Democrat, first vote regrettably for Bill Clinton. My Democrat friends couldn’t care less what an intellectual, dissident, critic of DC status quo, has to say. I’ve shared talks, lectures by Jeffrey Sachs, John Mearshiemer, Chris Hedges, fmr CIA , military analysts, with them, nothing moves them. They believe a binary only narrative that legacy media presents. It’s just less painful. Biden’s numbers are very low. Trump is a mere symptom, not the cause.

Fabulous. And also thanks go to Bill Clinton for DA/DT, whereby he single-handedly destroyed the careers of nearly 14,000 Americans who actually served in the military... and the home of the brave? Spare me already.

This is very much like I feel down to my huge disenchantment with Clinton and voting for Ralph Nader. It's been a really long time since I have been so positive about a President although the issue of our support of Netanyahu has me quite distressed.

Beautifully written and spot on. Unfortunately will not be read by those who need it the most and if for some reason it is, they will never understand it. If they do, they will call you a communist while not understanding they are fascist wannabees who are participating in a heinous effort to destroy our country.
