She would fit comfortably in the Moscow/StPetersburg bubble of delusion. Now Ukraine is repeatedly popping that bubble and forcing those coddled elite of Russia in those two cities to the negotiating table with Ukraine. She correctly thinks DC is riddled with corruption but then sees little fault in Moscow a city full of former Soviet elites famous for honesty?🤣 We can be glad Russia isn’t Soviet anymore but people who were Soviet still are alive there so some effects remain so it’s utterly retarded to brag up Russia as something to aspire to.

[fockler10 @fockler102]

And also the best few parts of Russia that still exist even after the Soviet Union shredded the country are the parts that were deliberately modeled after old Europe. But she is a bitter westerner who cannot recognize her own countries greatness even with so much potential being lost.

@Manhattva Attentive? Seriously? You must have had a rough childhood to think that.

1. Okay @RealCandaceO , you want to go there. Cool. Here's a thread on the reality of Russia from the perspective of an ordinarily invisible American.

I first travelled to Russia in 2024 because I wanted to see for myself what it was about, with specific focus on the sanction regime and how it was impacting life for an ordinary Russian.

I revisited twice since then, just to ensure my understanding was not misplaced.

What I write below is not from a guided tour, not from an organized visit through contact with anyone of significance in Russia.

This is simply an American who figures out a way how to get a visa when it was exceptionally complicated during the Biden administration and returned twice thereafter - the latter when Trump took office.

Warning to readers. This will be a long thread, because I will take you on the full journey - beginning in 2024.

[TheLastRefuge @TheLastRefuge2]

Eh, she's not 100% and neither are you if that's your take. I travel(led) to Russia because I was curious about it. There are many untruths told in America, but there are multiple parts that are entirely true.

Don't fall into the trap of romanticizing Russia.

Rhodesia remains a reminder that there is nothing you can do to make yourself acceptable to those who worship the false god of equality other than destroy yourself and spill your own blood on its altar

Rhodesia was prosperous. It was free. It had no apartheid. It had law and order. Its blacks had the highest literacy rate on the continent.

None of that mattered. What mattered was that its non-racial voting system screened out those who had not yet shown themselves to be competent, and in so doing was an effective declaration that all men are not equal and only those who are competent ought have the franchise

This conflicted most strongly with the egalitarian mindset of the post-war West, which desired the destruction of all hierarchy in the name of equality

And so Rhodesia was destroyed, and handed over to those who made it equally poor, oppressed, and miserable. Such was deemed justice compared to unequal prosperity and non-egalitarian rule

@vidsthatgohard He killed himself. Not a good role model.

@streamerlando Just do three seconds of research into Jared and Ivankas past. It’s not MAGA. It’s leftists. Still is that way which is why maga hates them.

[fockler10 @fockler102]

@Linouglp I support no side in that land. All sides weapons are killing innocent life.

[fockler10 @fockler102]

@goldenblobs Clearly you aren’t aware of her politics or trumps past politics either. Trump was adored by leftists for decades. Ivanka and Jared were never republicans and MAGA hates them.

[fockler10 @fockler102]

@madelineargyy Very sexy!

[fockler10 @fockler102]

Wait you think ivanka and jared are MAGA??🤣 Seriously? Are you joking? They are and always will be leftists because thats who they adore and crave the praise of. They worked in Trumps administration because it allows them to create deals for their personal wealth. Has nothing to do with being MAGA.

The Mulberry harbours were incredibly impressive:

▸ two gigantic, artificial, prefabricated ports
▸ floated across the English Channel and assembled just 12 days (!) after D-Day
▸ one then landed 2.5 million allied troops, 500k vehicles, and 4 million tons of supplies (!!)

Let me give this a shot.

First, @USAttyEssayli I do not believe you. Or anyone else in California politics, law or justice. Because you all know exactly how California voter fraud is done.

This is a silly game of pretending. You are pretending not to know. I'll explain it again.

All of you know:

Former Attorney General Eric Holder was hired by California govt to advise on the election changes created by linking DMV database to Secretary of State database.

The tech team that wrote the code to link the DMV and SOS were given specific instructions. The affirmative flag, the checkbox in the DMV system that says the applicant is legally eligible to vote, was neutralized.

Meaning, if the checkbox is left blank, the computer system accepts the application from the DMV as affirmative. The DL applicant data is transferred to the SoS office, and the applicant is registered to vote.

Illegal Aliens, unlawful migrants, were allowed to get California Driver's Licenses and State IDs. The Motor-Voter process now registers those drivers and ID recipients as legal voters and ballots are created.

Those illegal ballots form the core of the voter fraud in California and were first used in the November 2018 midterm election as the beta test for national rollout.

Not a single person in Sacramento politics doesn't know this. All of you are aware. All you have to do is go check and you will see.

The fraud is impossible to prosecute. The fraud is built into the system. Go look. Everyone knows.

Again. I don't believe you.

Reminder that this is an outgrowth of our Dewayne Geld system

It’s just SNAP/EBT fraud. They buy the ingredients with EBT, sell the “plates” out of unlicensed home restaurants, and don’t report the income

And it’s been just allowed to happen for years

[Ceb K. @CEBKCEBKCEBK]

The study they cite says the nat’l guard in DC caused overall crime to drop 24%, gunshots to drop 45%, 911 calls to drop 20%, etc; & this is likely an underestimate of its effect (see next post). & DC’s 2026 homicide rate is on track to be *1/3* of its avg during the Biden years.

The richest man in America signed a document that could have gotten him hanged, and when someone sneered that he was safe because no one would know which Charles Carroll to come for, he picked up the pen and told the British exactly where to find him.

His name was Charles Carroll, and the colonies were crawling with men who shared it. His own father was Charles Carroll of Annapolis. So when the Declaration of Independence came to him for signing in 1776, a delegate made a cruel little joke. He said Carroll risked nothing by signing. There were so many Charles Carrolls that the King's men would never know which one to hang.

Carroll didn't argue. He leaned over the page and added three words to his signature: "of Carrollton." The name of his estate. His address. He was the only signer in the entire room who wrote down where he lived, and he did it on purpose, so that if the British wanted to come hang the traitor, they would know exactly which door to knock on.

That is who Charles Carroll of Carrollton was.

Here is what makes the moment even sharper. He was not a man with little to lose. He was the single wealthiest man in the thirteen colonies and the largest private landowner among them. While George Washington and John Hancock get talked about as rich men, it was Carroll who topped them all. When he signed, he was wagering the biggest personal fortune in America against a noose.

And he was the last man anyone would have expected to be there at all. Carroll was Catholic. In colonial Maryland, a colony founded as a Catholic refuge that had since turned on its own, Catholics could not vote. They could not hold public office. They could not worship in public. The most educated, wealthiest man in America was, in the eyes of the law, a second-class subject barred from the very government he was helping to create. He had spent seventeen years being educated by Jesuits in France and spoke five languages fluently, and back home he still could not legally cast a ballot.

So he became the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence, putting his name on a revolution that he hoped would build a country with room for men like him. That was its own enormous bet, made by a man the existing system had already shut out.

Then he simply outlived everyone.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same astonishing day, July 4, 1826, exactly fifty years after the Declaration. When they were gone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton was the last living signer left on earth. For six more years he was the final human link to that room in Philadelphia, the last hand that had signed, a living relic of the founding that ordinary Americans traveled to see and shake.

He finally died in November 1832 at the age of ninety-five, fifty-six years after he wrote his address on a treason document and dared the empire to come find him.

The richest man in America. The only Catholic. The last one standing. He had more to lose than any of them, every legal reason to stay quiet, and he signed his full address anyway.

We remember the names we were handed in school. We forget the man who made sure his couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's.

Which Founding Father do you think history shortchanged the most?
