We have working sex robots? Anyone know a good divorce lawyer?

One of the comments

I would never have a sex robot.
First they probably cost too much.
Second l would never leave the house.

Haha, l thought that was funny.

Alas, the divorce robots aren’t nearly so advanced yet.

Not stupid but always a good place for funny stuff. One for both sides.

Sadly, people believe that stuff.

Ok, I’ll bite. What are her domestic policy positions? The only things she’s taking about is foreign policy and that there will be money for everything after the US gets out of the “new cold war” (an expression pushed by Putin) with Russia and China.

Besides that, it’s only “MSM”, “but Hillary” and “DNC is corrupt” from her. She’s repeating most of the stuff that helped Trump win than Trump himself and is polling around one percent.

And Russian media is behind her 24/7:

On relations with Russia, she is a strong advocate of replacing the current policy of sanctions and confrontation with serious diplomacy and normalization, and is committed to ending what she describes as the “New Cold War” .

Tulsi Gabbard, in sum, has been inspirationally fearless in her willingness to confront the neocon and liberal interventionist establishment in the US with a political vision that is rooted in anti-hegemony, anti-war and pro-peace, a vision she articulates with great passion and eloquence. Oh, and by the way, she’s also served in the military, ticking thereby an increasingly necessary box for putative leaders in a country in which the cult of the armed forces is the most pervasive cult of all.

Though very much in the minority in opposing US hegemony as being coterminous with human progress and civilization, Tulsi Gabbard’s emergence fills a glaring lacuna in a political culture in Washington chronically afflicted with the moral and rabid sickness of an empire that has entered its mad dog days.

In this quest, she calls to mind another great American champion of peace rather than war, of the substitution of human connectedness for American exceptionalism, and of the principles set out in the UN Charter of respect for international law, national sovereignty, and self-determination.

His name was Henry Wallace, a true progressive who had served as Roosevelt’s vice president between 1940 and 1944, before being replaced by Harry Truman. Wallace campaigned for a vision of the rest of the 20th century at the end of the war as the ‘Century of the Common Man’. It set him miles apart not from the mass of the American people who’d seen loved ones perish and permanently maimed, physically and psychologically, in the war, but from the arms dealers and war hawks in Washington for whom permanent war was the only road to the Roman peace they believed in.

How different history could have been if Henry Wallace rather than Harry S. Truman had been vice president upon the death of Roosevelt at the close of the war in 1945.

Writing of Henry Wallace in their ‘Untold History of the United States’, co-authors Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick included a speech he gave in New York in 1946 on the first anniversary of FDR’s death. During the speech, Wallace responded to the sentiments of confrontation with the Soviet Union advocated by Winston Churchill in his infamous ‘Iron Curtain speech’, delivered in Fulton, Missouri the previous month.

Wallace: “A month ago Mr Churchill came out for the Anglo-Saxon century. Four years ago I repudiated the American century. Today I repudiate the Anglo-Saxon century with even greater vigor. The common people of the world will not tolerate a recrudescence of imperialism even under enlightened Anglo-Saxon, atomic bomb auspices. The destiny of the English-speaking world is to serve the world, not dominate it.”

Tulsi Gabbard is our Henry Wallace, a person whose vision of a world shorn of cold and hot wars in the cause not of democracy or freedom but hegemony, empire and domination places her on a higher moral and ethical plane than her counterparts. Her fidelity to spreading the truth and excoriating the war mongers and hawks is testament to a woman inspired by Wallace’s example.

As in his time, the crucial question in ours revolves around whether America is ready to hear this particular truth – the truth about the real motives and vested interests that are driving US foreign policy and Washington’s engagement with the world – and act upon it.

I didn’t post the link because I support Gabbard. I merely found it highly amusing Killary Clinton is using the ol’ Russian playbook on yet another of her “enemies”.

Who the fuck is Hillary in late 2019? Which office does she hold? The only people missing Hillary (and calling on her to run again, mind you) are Trump, Tulsi and the Russians.

And unfortunately, when it comes to foreign policy issues, Hillary was remarkably prescient. It’s another thing people can’t stand her so they ignore the message.

I suspect one of Hillary’s motivations to stir the pot is to sell more books 
 she just published one cowritten with her daughter 
 seems whenever she’s in the headlines is when she’s promoting this or that that will boost her bottom line 
 she might be abhorrent but she ain’t a dummy

The same lying murderous twat she has always been.

It’s amazing how reactive you are to Russian oligarchs but don’t see an American one in Clinton Inc.

And what about “Trump Inc.”, @SkyzykS?

If the two men are still alive in 4-5 years; I can only imagine the havoc that will be created by Putin; a lame-duck President Trump; and an ex-U.S. President Trump.

There is no comparison between her and Russian oligarchs. From simply a financial view, they have much more money.

Come on. Unlike Hillary, who gave Chelsea a position in the White House when she was president, Trump has kept his family out of the Oval Office.

The more I see of his decision making, the more I think he should be on the same gallows as the Clintons.

They might be parading under different banners but they are cut from the same cloth.

The only reason she isn’t on par with them is because she lost the election.

Her foundation/international shakedown racket was pretty brilliant though.

If it were, she would have been president.

Pretty brilliant. Not absolutely.

Can’t really disagree though.
