Edited back and forth a lot - it's kind of a formless "here's another way Rall is poo poo, and another way and another way" mess now, but I'm loathe to outright omit stuff. Let me know if you have any suggestions or if I missed anything.

Yeah, that's tricky. It might need to go in chronological order, with asides for the publication of each of his books when they were published. Heck, you might need to break it into multiple posts.

edit: I wonder when exactly Rall started taking Russian money and/or working for Sputnik formally.

I've been in favour of not posting Sinfest for a while, similar to the Day By Day clause. Not be side it's porno but it's just... increasingly irrelevant and Noche as the author goes further up their own rear end. Ishida is a broken font of negativity and their exposure here can only be considered harmful imo, in that both it gives their weird ideas a place to propagate but also possibly feeds I to whatever strange feedback cycle that keeps him doing it instead of getting help. Lastly it's just not very interesting any more, being mostly "yep that sure is terrible".

I'd like to ask to exclude the sinfest edits from the kellies because given the volume, we'll be swamped with them.

vvvv I'm fine with that- folks should feel free to post 'em, but please don't nom-inate them. Anything to keep the workload manageable! We have about 200 nom-inations already so far this year!

I think this is a very good political cartoon personally. Not the politics. Just in function it's great, and a level of visual metaphor we don't often see I think.

BIDEN SCREWS UP AMERICA INTENTIONALLY.

There is an old saying: �If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.�

Joe Biden is a screwdriver and his job is to screw up America intentionally. To be sure, we know it�s Joe�s handlers turning the screws, but the end result is the destruction of America.

This is what Obama was working on during his disastrous presidency. He said he wanted to �fundamentally transform America.� Why would he want to do that? Because he hated America. He and his real father in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis, wanted to see America destroyed in order to usher in Marxism. Davis was Obama�s �mentor.� Barry was a red-diaper baby who grew up to become a Manchurian candidate of sorts. Hillary was supposed to win and complete the destruction.

Trump thwarted their plans and began making America great again, much to the dismay of the Democrats. That�s why they cheated and installed Biden. They know Sleepy Joe is good at screwing things up, and he has�big time.

America is getting screwed by Joe Biden and his handlers. Gas prices are incredibly high. Joe blames Putin, but in reality he likes high gas prices�he wants Americans to stop driving cars with internal combustion engines. Inflation is through the roof and is eating up paychecks of the poor and middle class as well as harming those with fixed incomes. Biden blames Putin. His strategy in Afghanistan was an unmitigated disaster. Joe wanted it that way. The Chinese collected US weapons left behind and Biden got to pay back the Chicom benefactors who shoveled millions of dollars into his pockets and into the pockets of Hunter.

Joe and his ilk love war. The Democrats sent $40 billion to Ukraine, a corrupt country and money laundering center. Joe wants to keep the corruption going, even at the risk of nuclear war. Joe pushed dangerous and ineffective vaccines that caused millions of injuries and deaths. Joe pushes critical race theory and LGBQT+ nonsense. Joe encourages confused children to get gender surgery without the permission of parents.

With every twist and turn, Joe demonstrates that he is a complete screw up, and he has over two more years to do even more damage.

Can our Republic survive Biden and the Marxist Democrats?

The Truth will come out and the Republic will hold.

This Frank Marshall Davis guy sounds incredibly powerful. Why did the FBI spend so much time trying to investigate him if they both wanted the same end goal of selling the Clinton weapons to China for Marxism? Ben Garrison knows a little too much for his own good there, is he behind it?
