Not a silly question. There is a democratic party primary happening. Biden is winning that overwhelmingly. There is not even one democratic of substance opposing him. They are free to do so but haven't. Why? Well there is a usual custom with both parties that an incumbent president who.has been reasonably successful is usually nominated easily for the second term. It may seem a paradox but the vast majority of democratic think Biden has been successful and that his policy positions match with theirs AND that the optics of his age are terrible. If he had not run again it would have been a wild open primary. But he did.

Perfect Days Zen and the art of professional toilet cleaning? Why does this Japanese toilet cleaner have such great taste in western music and literature? Why does such a character find fulfillment in such a lowly job? This is an art film I guess but accessible beyond that label. If you don't know Tokyo you will feel you know it. To me the film was a mixture of the life affirming and life depressing but the affirmation part dominates. 5 flushes

No chance. The usual delay tactics. The grifter keeps grifting.

Look dude the vast majority of democrats want to put up someone other than Biden mostly because of the optics of his age, but he's made his decision, and when push comes to shove there is that binary choice and he will probably win against trump the traitor, but there are so many variables in what could happen between now and election day that it's ridiculous to be overconfident either way.

Not bloody likely but either one is subject to health crisis risks and in Trump's case incarceration risk.

I see a similarity to the Maoist cultural revolution where the most idiotic and unskilled cultists ruled and the elites that knew stuff and could actually do stuff were made into villains. Instead of little red book, they have their big red hat, fitting as they don't read.

Unfortunately, Trump could win, especially is there are third party candidates. Being smug about this increases the chances that he will.

It's allowable under the constitution.

You intentionally failed to mention that proposal was for massively wealthy people ONLY.

Liz Cheney leftist? In what alternative reality would that make sense? Another case of maga brain rot.

So you made that up, huh?

Prove that or retract.

No. Cheney is one of the few remaining REAL republicans. Maga fascist Trump has taken over the republican party. They aren't republicans. They're Maga fascists.

Blood on the hands of treasonous scum Trump, magadonians, Johnson, Tucker, etc.

Your loss

Your loss as that detail even if you were correct about that is irrelevant to my main points there. Be honest. You're not really interested. You just like to be argumentative. So you play silly gotcha games. A fan of Tucker are you? https://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-host-tucker-carlson-biography-of-right-wing-superstar-2020-7 Tucker Carlson was born in May 1969 in San Francisco, California into a wealthy family. His father, Richard Warner Carlson, had forged an eventful career in journalism and later politics, and his mother, Lisa McNear, was an artist.

I have very much enjoyed the two seasons of the Australian comedy tv series Fisk. The humor is droll so not really laugh out loud stuff. I think a third season is coming. Easily triggered bigots alert - the main character's parent is gay. The style of humor reminds me a bit of the American series Loudermilk.

But Russia? Now? Really?

You're missing a key issue. Agreed Tucker was born very rich and doesn't know about grocery shopping. However, LOOK DEEPER. Tucker is explicitly saying that because the total was 100 dollars instead of 400 dollars that Russia which he clearly knows is an autocratic regime is doing better for it's people than the USA, a democracy, though a flawed one. He says he was "radicalized" by his shopping trip. Clearly in favor of Putin, and against American democracy. Do you actually believe he believes the BS he is pushing? Do you actually believe he is so stupid that he doesn't know the average wage in Russia even in relatively rich Moscow is much much lower than the average US wage? Clearly, anyone with a brain understands that the US system is doing much better for it's people with food costs relative to incomes, yet he tells a big lie that it's the opposite. Now you could take other expense categories like housing and health care, and come up with different objective conclusions that would make the US look bad, but on grocery costs the propaganda he is pushing is garbage. So I do wonder does he believe the garbage he is pushing (in which case he really is very stupid) or is it just a game to increase his personal wealth? Another thing about his real or fake ignorance. I do believe lots of very misinformed Americans still think Russian grocery are still like Soviet times. He exploits that of course with his propaganda, but again, was he really so stupid as to have not known that was long ago history by now? So real stupid or fake stupid? I find it hard to tell.

I want to add that according to a prominent pro Putin Z youtuber in RuSSia, Expat American, there are now only about 5,000 Americans living in Russia. I reckon many of them moved long ago for normal reasons like family reunification, so of those 5,000 hard to tell what portion are politically like this family. He and others are actively promoting more right wing westerners to move to Russia though. So it's a small trend, yes. But compared to the massive number of Russians that have fled their dictatorship (often very high skilled people causing a brain drain), it's really a drop in the bucket.

Yep. In Tucker's case it's hard to tell if he's actually as much of a moron as he appears to be, or if it's just a cynical act to cash in on the low information magadonians. On that note, among the pro Putin English speaking youtubers in Russia western and local, Tucker is an object of worship. They make pilgrimages to every place he visited in Moscow. It's really quite bizarre! A case of an anti Putin Russian who has successfully escaped to a decent country -- Portugal.

I don't think that's the point. I have problems with my US accounts as well. I fake being a US resident because they are generally expat unfriendly, sanctions or not. I think the issue with this foolish family is that they speak no Russian and in general expected things to be much easier than they already are. As we all know, being an expat anywhere means facing challenges going along. You don't give up after the first or tenth problem or you won't be an expat for long. They seem to think because they are so "pro family and anti LGBT" that there would be some kind of magical reception for them in "pro family anti LGBT" Russia. Their political views which are explicitly pro Putin don't make banking rules go away, etc. In moving there that have also forfeited any freedom to criticize the Russian government or really anything about Russia institutions in general.

In reality, the problem with frozen accounts that happened to them was on the RuSSian side.
