http://jezebel.com/law-decriminalizing-domestic-violence-in-russia-awaits-1791706553

A bill proposing the decriminalization of domestic violence was introduced to Russia’s State Duma in August by ultra-conservative Yelena Mizulina, best known for her successful anti-LGBTQ legislature against “gay propaganda.” The proposed legislation passed the first reading early around the new year, in a vote of 368 to 1.

The New York Times reports that the bill passed its second reading on Wednesday, which essentially means that Vladimir Putin just needs to sign his name for it to be incorporated into their criminal code

Trial Balloon for a Coup?
Analyzing the news of the past 24 hours

“The theme of this morning’s news updates from Washington is additional clarity emerging, rather than meaningful changes in the field. But this clarity is enough to give us a sense of what we just saw happen, and why it happened the way it did.”

Very interesting indeed. Very smartest and thorough analysis. Those who are saying the sky is falling in regard to us losing this democracy may be on to something.

Interesting article. A point to note … the State Department is a mess already. This happened well before Trump took office. They are under investigation at present as are some of the other agencies spewing quietly worded doomsday quips that the media then turns in to these headlines of gloom and doom for everyone.

I believe Trump called it “Draining The Swamp”.

LOL

I feel like it’s becoming more likely that Trump will have a Republican challenger in 2020. I mean, I think the moment he was elected with the majority of the country hating him this was a possibility, but things have only gotten worse. Of course a lot could change between now and then, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Sasse or Graham run against him.

What numbers are you basing “the majority of the country hating him” on? I haven’t seen any specific polls or graphs or pies that lay this out. Any links?

How about the fact that the majority of the country didn’t vote for him?

And most of the people who did vote for him seem to not support him, they incorrectly assumed that he was the lesser of two evils.

Since it’s not possible to put too fine a point on this…

The spectrums I wrote of were skewed to the econo-political more than socio/socio-political.

People think in terms of “freedom” v oppression without understanding human freedom.

Freedom from one’s own and another’s tyranny requires TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT to natural True Law. Freedom from True Law is TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT to the depravity of men, INCLUDING ones own evil/destructiveness.

This is the Libertarian error with regard to morality and personal conduct.

With this in mind, the Actual(vertical) and the two Ideological(horizontal) spectrums

                   THE HUMAN OPTIMUM (TOTAL ENSLAVEMENT TO TRUE LAW)

Econo right-wing= private oligarchs control the politicians, leftwing= politicals control everything.

Private Oligarchy slants downward because it’s difficult for them to attain totalitarian conditions.

Speaking of don’t even try, I can’t even get my brain around this.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/trump-signs-executive-order-requiring-that-for-every-one-new-regulation-two-must-be-revoked-234365

This is a great idea to reduce clutter in your household, especially if you think your kids have too much stuff. Every time you buy them a toy, make them get rid of two. Or for personal use, like every time you buy a shirt, get rid of two you never wear, then donate them to a shelter or something.

Getting rid of regulations to make room for new ones doesn’t make sense because we aren’t running out of room in the regulation closet. And who decides what kind of regulations are going to be discarded by the new one? Sounds like businesses who feel like they’re over-regulated can get their problems to the top of the list by greasing the right wheels.

That’s amazing, especially when looking at the disapproval numbers.

With the media and the establishment against him, the numbers are hardly surprising. I’m amazed he even got 45% of truly great americans to support their President (the best US President since… ever ?) with lefties all over the place punching in the face everyone who doesn’t agree with them (you want to punch someone in the face in the US and get away with it ? It’s easy: call the guy you target a “nazi” - no proof needed - and go for it !).

How does it feel to agree with the Koch brothers?

“What has made America great always is that this has been a place that has welcomed the best and the brightest,” said Brimen, a Venezuelan native who became a U.S. citizen last year and now manages a private equity firm. “The message needs to be very loud and clear that we continue to be such a place no matter where you come from.”

The sentiment was in line with a formal statement released Sunday by the Koch network, which said Trump’s “travel ban is the wrong approach and will likely be counterproductive.”

I’ve only seen one guy who’s being punched, and his status in the Adolf fan club is pretty obvious.
