I'd considered using the word "quislings," but decided against because Vidkun Quisling was executed for treason and I didn't want to suggest violence.

And the entire Republican Party, every one of them a collaborator.

Though that's an enormous amount of money, it would amount to only a tiny portion of the damage they have done to the USA.

Most recently with his purchase of massive quantities of diesel fuel in total disregard for international law, he has flipped U.S. foreign policy to favor Russia in their illegal war of aggression against Ukraine.

We should unplug all cables that cross a Russian border until they learn to behave like civilized people.

I can verify the latter. 15 years ago I got word from an insider that Russia was funding anyone creating publicity over some kind of grievance. They had billions of petrodollars to spend and chose to spend them destabilizing the West rather than building a better Russia. They're just assholes.

Actually, Chicago is a very big city, and urban warfare is very difficult and time consuming.

El Sayed is an epidemiologist, not a jihadist.

It should have been be glaringly obvious long ago that he's nuts. Putin and his henchmen recognized it decades ago and have been exploiting him ever since. Because he was born rich, it's anathema in the dollar-worshipping USA to say so.

The destructiveness of nuclear weapons spurred a reinvention of warfare in the 20th Century. Now the major wars are fought by political and psychological subversion, not by blowing things up. Since the Soviet Union fell, Russia has been funding all sorts of political unrest world-wide.

They wanted the naval base at Sevastapol and then a land bridge to support the base, but it's turned into more a matter of saving face.

Miller is just blowing smoke. Democrats would have to gain 20 Senate seats for such a thing to happen, so it's highly unlikely. It's more likely they'll gain just a small majority. It will slow down but not completely stop the lawlessness.

Maybe not yet fully paid for. Outstanding due: one Supreme Court seat and one invasion and takeover of Cuba.

If we were to faithfully obey our Constitution, at least three of our current Supreme Court Justices would have been removed because of their infamous lapses of the "good behavior" that the Constitution requires of them.

Not until we have a Democratic Majority in the Senate. BTW, the terms for Thomas, Alito and Roberts, according to Article 3 of the Constitution, should have already ended because they're supposed to serve "during good behavior," and all three have engaged in behavior that's improper for judges.

In Florida it's so tightly restricted that small consumers like me can't even get red diesel fuel to use in our tractors. I have to pay road tax to mow my field.

They want it all for themselves.
