  1. Yes Georgian food is popular with Russians as Russian Russian food is let's face it on the boring side.
  2. I'm making no predictions either way. I think TNT oversold this news.
  3. I get what you're saying about freezing money expats might spend, but on the other hand money in the bank is circulated to the economy by the banks.
  4. Those people would be wrong..
  5. Hopefully this is true: Fox News Analyst Pronounces Trump's 2024 Campaign Dead (mediaite.com) ‘He Can’t Win’: Fox News Legal Analyst Andy McCarthy Predicts Trump Will ‘Get Drubbed’ in 2024 A prominent conservative voice is warning Republicans that “Trump Can’t Win” in a new article for National Review. Andrew McCarthy, National Review contributing editor and Fox News legal analyst, has come out strongly against Donald Trump‘s chances at the presidency in 2024, writing, “I persist in the conviction that Trump doesn’t have a prayer of being elected president again.” McCarthy’s reasoning? There’s nothing redeeming about the former president and voters have already made up their minds about him.
  6. Marxism 4.0? World Economic Forum? Here we go again with right wing conspiracy theories.
  7. Wrong. Trump hits back at GOP candidate who said he’s running to ‘stay out of jail’ - POLITICO
  8. They need scapegoats for their resentful feelings that they are losing their unearned privileged position in societies.
  9. In any case, it's obvious now that he's running for president to stay out of prison, not to be of service to the American people.
  10. Checking 14 characteristics of fascism against DeSantis’ actions afer his recent visit to Utah. (sltrib.com) In sum, what we are witnessing in today’s polarized politics does indeed include fascism, embodied and promoted by DeSantis and others on the far right. Those student protesters at UVU had it right. Florida is officially a laboratory for fascism in the U.S. | Salon.com Ron DeSantis is not a "mini-Trump" or some other diminutive. He is much more dangerous. Donald Trump has no "ideology" beyond megalomania and a deep desire to be an American god king. By comparison, DeSantis is far more intelligent and devious; he is an ideological fascist and racial authoritarian. Ron DeSantis Called 'Fascist' by College Director in Resignation Letter (msn.com) The director of New College of Florida's applied data science program has offered his resignation in a letter that accused Governor Ron DeSantis of being a "fascist" over his conservative overhaul of the school. The barely hidden fascism of Ron DeSantis makes a Pa. pit stop on a race to ’24 (inquirer.com) The barely hidden fascism of Ron DeSantis makes a Pa. pit stop on a race to ’24 As the Florida governor cracks down on voting and classroom free speech — he offers Pennsylvania a scary sneak peek at the 2024 presidential race.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (right) waves after his rally with Pennsylvania GOP The Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, brought his act to Pittsburgh on Friday and left little doubt that he’s running for president in 2024. We need to talk about this, but first, let’s look at the even more revealing event that DeSantis staged right before he boarded the jet for his Rust Belt road swing — a full-on display of what 21st-century American fascism looks like.
  11. Typical right wing projection game. Nobody is fooled.
  12. No, he's objectively a fascist and many people like it. Maybe US mainstream media should begin using the term ‘fascism’ | Robert Reich | The Guardian
  13. It's the truth. Ron DeSantis 'Will Destroy Our Democracy,' Says Fascism Expert (newsweek.com)
  14. I don't like fascists and bigots. Hopefully that isn't most people. But they are awful loud!
  15. What I'm seeing here is people using woke as an attack word just like fascist politician DeSantis. The emphasis is attacking sexual and racial minorities. There was an original definition of woke that is quite nice, but that has been completely perverted.
  16. In other words people you don’t like.
  17. I think there is an ugly thing in the air these days. It coincides with the rise of illiberal and fascist politicians in many countries. Scapegoating and demonization of sexual minorities. It leads to violence, murders, and suicides. Make different people's lives miserable. Now that's perverted.
  18. Brownie points for not saying people are shoving their pronouns down your throat.
  19. Her hair and boots shout they.
  20. If someone hasn't been an expat for a very long time they likely still have a credit report that shows their U.S. address record. Reporting agencies get address information from credit applications. I don't have a clue how SDFCU would view an application for a new account from an American with no credit record. They do reject applications and they don't need to say why.
  21. Translation: Right wingers want to be able to spout willful ignorance, hatred and bigotry and be guaranteed to never face any consequences for any of their speech.
  22. Then lobby for a constitutional amendment or forget about it.
