UT does have a good point here. When I lived in the DC area, I would often get two newspapers a day: Washington Post and Washington Times. I figured on leaning the two papers' opinion pages up against each other, mentally dropping a plumb line to see if the plumb landed on what was probably the actual way of things. Then, I think it worked. Both papers are still around.

I do not continue this exercise with the Los Angeles Times.

The desperate prejudice against Trump greatly disgraces any and all who have it. I am the soul of nonprejudice, I am cleansed and in a state of grace. Pretty much by my own efforts.

For example, I am basing my anti-science statement on the actions of the administration, not the ideas of a commentator from either side.

Michigan Domestic Terror Plot Sends Shockwaves Through Militia World
...
Croft, one of 13 men charged Thursday in connection with a domestic terrorism plot to kidnap Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, was a visible figure on the message boards and Facebook pages of the so-called Patriot Movement. NPR interviews with associates who know him from that world portray a power-hungry figure whose angling for stature was unsettling at times. Now that Croft is in custody and his connections under scrutiny, their fear is: Who's next?


...
NPR couldn't reach an attorney for Croft, and it was impossible to verify the militia members' accounts independently. Croft's social media presence backs up their descriptions of him as an avid President Trump supporter and an activist for right-wing causes. In one photo, Croft is wearing an American Revolutionary tricorn and a green hoodie with a Three Percent logo. SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors extremist propaganda, posted a video that purportedly shows Croft, speaking from his garage, mocking people who dismiss him as a conspiracy theorist.
...

These kooks are well represented hereabouts. There was a Patriot Meeting sign up at the Paraco building in Choconut PA for a couple days a week ago. We had a big explosion heard 100 miles into PA centered near South Apalachin NY in December of '16, unrelated to our core industries of stone quarrying and meth labs. When government by the GOP minority ends I expect some shit to go down, how much is a question.

Ha! Benny does have some common sense. We had a bear visit 2 nights ago and he bravely barked his ass off... from the porch.

Keep our heads down. The anti-Americans will tire quickly.

UG is a typical Trump supporter (that includes racits, Nazis, Communists, and other shady characters). So his writing need a translator. Does anybody speak his language?

Who did Putin openly campaigning for. American intelligence has identified Russian military units assigned to promote for Trump's 2020 reelection. Trump: a communist, nazi, KKK, and advocate of other hate groups.

Joy ran wild (even video recorded) in 2016 Moscow when Trump was elected.

The naive always believe what the Central Committee of the Communist Party orders them to believe. They said they are not communist. So it must be true. They said so.

UG and other laughing clowns automatically believe lies. Did you also swallow their Kool-Aid - and are now giggling with delight?

Communists need an American president with a narcissistic personality disorder and a 30 second attention span. All 17(?) American intelligence agencies stated how Communists are campaigning for Trump. They know who their friends are.

To demonstrate his ego, Trump shared most sensitive British secrets with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador - in the Oval Office. He is best friends with communists and other American adversaries. What American approves? Giggling ones.

Don''t drink the water. Trump successfully subverted Federal regulations to keep water safe. He needs all to drink the Kool-Aid. Then you will also believe all 22,000 Trump lies - while giggling in the Cellar.

Difference between Putin and Brezhnev? Almost nothing. Putin, et al do not call themselves communists. Different names for same despots.

Why are you so hung up on names? As indicated by snide remarks in soundbites. It is simply the old USSR with a different name. Even the Russian National anthem is the old Soviet anthem. It was restored under Putin. With different lyrics so as to claim it is a different communism. Russia is no longer a democracy - except in name.

Do all communists agree or support one another? Obviously not. Why would anyone foolishly make that assumption? Just like two democracies (Iran and US) do not agree. Today's Russia is simply the new communism. Where a despot makes all rules. And even murders adversaries to protect their power.

Being anarchists, they (like Nazis, Wolverine Watchmen, White Supremacists, Timothy McVeigh types and others motivated by hate) love Trump. Are openly campaigning to get mafioso type Don reelected.

Trump refuses to condemn any of them. Internationally, Trump repeatedly praises despots and disparages America's allies. He recruits his supporters by promoting hate and dissension. His supporters are far out extremists - not patriotic moderates. Despots and tyrants know from where to recruit supporters. Including campaign support from the Russian military.

Even Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is essentially a front man for Russian communists. That conclusion made bluntly by US intelligence. And former Trump administration officials.

Trump makes Nixon look honest.
