I just realized you have the same first names as the guys from the Grayzone.
Bernie Sanders is a sheepdog. Now he's running around hosting these "Resist Oligarchy" rallies while propping up US imperialism and taking a piss poor stance on Palestine to boot.
"Joe Biden was a lot less terrible" Yeah, give him a minute 😆
this guy is good, people from BAR usually are.
Jill Stein was a better candidate and no more of a long shot.
"hyper-capitalism" i.e. capitalism doing exactly what it's designed to do. I never heard Bobby say shit about Medicare for All.
had any of you pondered the very real possibility that Bobby is a dog brained rapist idiot with a stupid fucking voice and forehead to match?
yeah, turns out "Bobby" was a cynical, idiot piece of shit who supported Zionism because he's a wretched human and a bunch of Kennedy boomers fell for it. And there's almost certainly sexual blackmail afoot.
Brandon Mills Shut Up!!!
Trump 2024!!!!
This guy's politics are all over the place.
Ritter is an absolute oaf.
Zionists should be shunned and driven out of polite society.
He may cover it in the piece but what, exactly, is the relationship between the peshmerga and ISIS? They're both taking direct orders from the agency? Why would Kurds hand over oil assets to ISIS?
I also remember them being pretty effective against ISIS and eventually cutting some kind of deal with the Assad government. Maybe I'm feeling salty about this but listening to criticism of Rojava is rich coming from guys who couldn't suck RFK Jr's dick enough even though it was obvious he was an evil sack of shit.
I'd like to hear Brace Belden speak candidly and extensively about CIA involvement in the YPJ/YPG since he was there.
Pretty sure a lot of the Rojava people were Maoists and MLs but that whole thing was so foggy who the fuck knows.
Peter Daou was a 2016 Hillary freak who jumped ship and started shitting on the Dems at every opportunity, he seems alright. Questioning the seriousness of Cornel West while supporting an idiot charlatan like RFK Jr. is pretty funny.
Goldstone is one of the great cowards of history.
Can you imagine how vibrant and multicultural Germany would have been if Jews and Germans had worked together? It warms the heart.
