Putin explainer,
father of "Tyler Durden" Daniel Ivandjiiski.

These guys don't like Zerohedge because it's not LEFTY.
They think LEFTY is fair and balanced.

Their version of "fair and balanced" was paid by the US taxpayers through USAID...so was the Soros entities tied to the ANTIFA/BLM terrorists too. Talk about propaganda! All of them singing from the same hymnal too!

ray-like many right wing autocrats (as I pointed out a few times a while ago much to your denial) Trump/Musk have been aligning with the Putins of the world, batting eyelashes at the strongman dictator and jealously wishing they had zero interference to get "things" done too....righty and lefty common ground in how to control the whole process. Commie, fascist...doesn't really matter much anymore as they are sharing a playbook..

as for Durden being a pseudonym...no chit Sherlock. We all thought he left Fight Club to start a blog.

The key that's being stonewalled here is Dad and Dad do Putin's bidding. And now Trump, Musk, and Vance are recreating his image.
Goodbye European Democracy.
Who's next?

You guys used to hate commies...how about real nazis? how about the lethal combo???


Edit: Dad and Dan from zerocred...not dad and dad

Blah blah blah...yet your sources for news had you believe that Trump was a Russian puppet...Fauci was to be believed...Biden was electable...Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation...Kumswalla was electable...yeah.

There aren't too many sources that post up links where you can become more informed but hey...we all get it...you like your Baghdad Bob news reports.

perhaps you'll recall telling me I voted D (you were wrong) and trying to debate from that vantage point in an election in which YOU DID NOT EVEN VOTE!

Grow up, speak with dignity.

Azov started out as national guard, but have been fighting as an official battalion of the Ukrainian military for years.

The U.S. DOD "honored" them or gave em some award.

So yeah, they're running around Ukraine with U.S. weapons & support...😟

Both sides? Please.

Again...another confused person that thinks my moniker is somehow a manifestation or an emotion I'm throwing out there. Just a big fan of Angelo Moore of Fishbone. The moniker is his poetry stage name. That's all. If you're reading into anything else...that's ALL on you.

Again with the "I didn't vote" ramble. I've clearly stated my opinion on why I didn't. That's an option. And a non-vote is better than voting for any DNC candidate. You're old enough to know better and you're not the only one here that has Stockholm Syndrome from them.

I'm not going to grow any taller at this stage of my life, but I could wear boots.

Dignity? I'm tired of wasting it on people that don't deserve any. I've tried it your way. There's no happy appeasement and I just get tired.

I suppose if you you actually had been replying to quotes in which I vehemently argued those points (a couple are close though) rather than assign them to me, then we would call this a discussion. But in your post you did exactly what I said...assigned/assumed my position(s), discredited my sources, expected me to speak for what you imagine anyone not in agreement with you simply MUST believe...and on and on and on.

Debating 101 is where one gets assigned a position to defend. You simply do not command that type of authority.

Not voting is on you. I'm not affected nor offended. But I am offended that you'd then have the gall to chronically be verbally abusive to those who did their civic duty differently than you WOULD have had you voted...such hypocrisy.

The humor of all that is you still ignore my voting record, my opinions on individual issues, I'm about as far from a party line supporter as we have here...I can't be the only one you've been so wrong about.

I've been here a very long time. In many ways I absorb alternative sources different from my norm, which actually is very limited. I have more exposure to what folks here believe than any "mind controlling sites" that make you frightened.

It's helped make me more understanding of why I can't always be right and they can't always be wrong (lessons learned from my father)...but it's made me aware that you have been incapable of considering the same scenario is true of your opinions as well. Sadly, you are cheating yourself.

AND...I've thanked you several times for giving me Fishbone years ago!
AND, I did like your support and loyalty to the Bucanero folks.

I think more folks would enter the Politics forum if you stop baring your teeth.

EPIC: ‘Argentine Trump’ Javier Milei Presents Elon Musk With DOGE Chainsaw at CPAC

by Kristinn Taylor Feb. 20, 2025 6:00 pm

President of Argentina Javier Milei, dubbed the ‘Argentine Trump‘ presented Elon Musk with a DOGE chainsaw on stage at CPAC on Thursday, to wild cheers from the conservative gathering in National Harbor, Maryland. Musk said, “This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy!”

Musk is heading up President Trump’s DOGE agency’s (Department of Government Efficiency) effort to slash government bureaucracy and inefficiency, modernize technology and find and expose waste, fraud and abuse.

Milei is famous for campaigning for the presidency in 2023 with a chainsaw to demonstrate how he would slash the bloated, inefficient government of Argentina and bring down sky high inflation. (Promises he has kept.)

I'm liking how this is becoming a global movement. Get rid of the WEF and a slew of other nefarious taxpayer vampires and just maybe the World starts making gains. Lord knows their ways haven't produced positive effects.

DOGE quietly deletes more "savings" claims from its website... The deletions, first reported by the New York Times, were made last Tuesday without explanation. A White House spokesperson would only say that Musk’s slash-and-burn initiative had “identified billions of dollars in savings”.

Doge is currently claiming it has succeeded in lopping $65bn from federal spending, a sharp rise from its earlier figure of $55bn. Yet the itemized savings listed on the “wall of receipts” went from $16.6bn to $9.6bn last week... now DOGE has deleted hundreds more claims from its “wall of receipts" and is below 9bn

and a bunch of contracts they had claimed to cancel actually were completed prior to this administration...
making cuts is fine as long as thought is given to each, not to mention some public statements as updates?
Wasn't a big booster of much that Reagan did but at least he accounted to the nation for what was being done when he was trimming very early on.

perhaps the staffing should be vetted, if only for "efficiency"?
I heard there are a couple of 19 year olds playing around with sensitive info...hope not.

It's amazing that DOGE isn't doing a perfect Job with all the help and good will of Federal employees and the support of all citizens.
