The Great Char-Siu Mine of Chengdu.

I’m sure they lecture the leopards too.

Gruel isn’t porridge, it’s thinner. And though it has, on occasion, been made from hempseed, it’s more often made of more commonly available cereals such as wheat, barley, oats, rice or rye. That’s because it was a famine food, made from whatever happened to be available that was edible.

It’s true that he knows a thing or two about self-dealing.

Trump is owned by one of those adversaries. So yes, they could, all they needed was the right tool for the job.

Organize. Resist. Retaliate.

Founders are usually jettisoned because they have no experience of running a large business and are out of their depth once the business scales up to a certain size (generally not even that big: 10M/110M revenue per year). Starting things is a very different skill set than sustaining a large enterprise.

Very convenient for keeping the cooties under control.

Thomas Paine never publish common sense without French revolution

The French Revolution in 1789. Paine published Common Sense in 1776.

Paine was also involved in the French revolution, but the Jacobins threw him into the Bastille because he was opposed in principle to capital punishment, so refused to vote to execute the king.

give it a C- on my Democracy-O-Meter (patent pending

Are you grading on a curve? Where was there a more functional democracy in the mid-19th century?

Trump is a non-zero amount of Clinton’s fault.

Hillary should never have been the candidate. The only rationale for choosing her was that it was her turn. Anyone who expressed admiration for Henry Kissinger like she did is unfit for office.

Yeah, reverting to the do-nothing corrupt situation before Trump will do nothing to prevent a resurgence of fascism. It was fertile ground for it before, and still would be.

Hilary was pushing for Obamacare since her husband was in office.

That part’s mixing up two different plans. The healthcare plan that Hillary came up with when Bill Clinton was in office was overly complex, would have delivered even less than Obamacare (which was Romneycare rebranded, with a few tweaks-- Romneycare was a response to Hillary’s disastrous plan), and didn’t make it through Congress. It was a red flag that Hillary didn’t have what it takes to lead any complex effort (such as the Presidency).

You’re repeating the nazi myth about Asiatic hordes and misunderstanding intentionally obfuscated things like the role of blocking brigades

No, I’ve just read history very closely.

you shouldn’t get your understanding of either Stalin, WWII, or Stalin’s role in WWII from memes

I shit on memes, and you have no idea about what I know or don’t know.

And your comparative casualty numbers seem to imply that there’s some kind of moral superiority in taking excessive casualties. That’s at best a bizarre view. The USSR bled that much because their leadership was shit, their logistics were worse shit (and that’s the reason there weren’t enough soldiers at the front), their military doctrine was simplistic and initially useless against a highly mobile, well-coordinated force with superior technology, and the inevitable process of refining strategy and tactics in order to fight more effectively was hampered by politcs. Perhaps more preparation to fight the fascists instead of carving up eastern Europe during the Molotov/Ribbentrop pact would have been wise.

That’s not to say that the USSR had the most competent leadership before Zhukov got his shit together

That’s an understatement.

The Red Army was ill-trained and horribly ill-equipped at the start of the war (infantrymen didn’t have workable rifles, and often didn’t have decent boots-- socks were still in short supply for years), and Stalin was slow to promote competent generals due to his paranoid belief that they might become rivals. However, Russian materiel improved in both volume and quantity as the war progressed (partially due to that US money coming in), and Stalin backed off of trying to micromanage the war effort.

because there are no consequences as we’ve seen multiple times

Dictators never face consequences until they do.

Full rollback. Declare a state of emergency, remove every single Trump appointee, invalidate all their policies and decisions, rescind Citizens United, shut down all the fronts for oligarch influence-peddling such as the Heritage Foundation, shut down all conduits for hostile foreign propaganda and treat any individuals involved with it as traitors, lock up every contributor to Project 2025, close Gitmo and the black sites, assassinate foreign leaders who colluded in the human rights abuses, run black ops to destory the troll farms, confiscate the wealth of every billionaire, inter any billionaire who interfered in the political process, and delete every single executive order and law that Trump signed. Then do summary trials from Trump on down at least four levels on the org chart. After that, end the state of emergency and have new elections, with any MAGA figure disqualified for life.

That’d be a start.

Yeah, and every dictator that got overthrown had loyal, grovelling followers. So what?

“We’ll hunt you down like they did Eichmann. You will pay for your crimes.”

Nice and clear.

Nothing is too petty for that shitstain.

Their dealers know how stupid they are, so that cola has been stepped on like mad.
