All The Good News You Missed While Being Overwhelmed By The Bad News

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

These is no way around the fact that the situation in Russia and Ukraine is distressing, worrying, outrageous, and awful.

Not really. I couldn't care less.

The rest of that shit is either bad news or made-up propaganda bullshit circulated with the intent of making us all forget and vote Dem in the coming November bloodbath.

Will not work

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

it is a stupid semantic argument.

if I go to the casino and lose 1000 bucks and then 3 weeks later go win 900 bucks, is the 900 new money or not?

well, really who cares I would just be happy to be up 900 from where I was a 3 weeks ago.

But you all cannot be happy about more people are working now than the month before and the month before that and the month before that.

You have to be sad/pissed/upset/assholes no matter what is the news.

We are truly living in the days of if the POTUS cured cancer the other side would attack him for the loss of jobs.

We are fucked as a country due to people like you on both sides of the aisle .

No semantics to it.

How often did you defend Trump the way you defend Biden?

No semantics to it.

How often did you defend Trump the way you defend Biden?

I am not defending Biden, I am stating facts.

I defended Trump everything he did something I agreed with. I agreed with and defended his first two SCOTUS picks, and the 3rd has so far turned out better than I thought it would.

I defended Trump when he wanted to get us out of the Middle East

I defended Trump when he changed the Fed Employee regs to make it easier to get rid of dead weight

I defended Trump when he wanted to privatize ATC

Which is actually far more than I have ever defended Biden

I assumed that is what you were talking about, but always best to make sure.

I support all those things. There are 3 possible reactions to Russia invading Ukraine.

We could just pretend it never happened.

We could send our troops in and maybe start WWIII

We can punish Putin and the Russian people till they pull out of Ukraine.

I think the 3rd is the only viable option, and yes I am willing to pay more if it helps to free the people of the Ukraine.

Or we could do like Quid Pro and PRETEND to sanction Russia while cutting backdoor deals with Russia and Iran.

Notice how Quid Pro didn't sanction energy for his clients in Russia and Iran? In fact he wants to buy more oil from Maduro, another murderous dictator. Quid Pro LOVES murderous dictator like Vlad and Nick.

So do you, another pro-Russia, pro-Putin Nazi democrat.

No semantics to it.

He hates Trump - but LOVES Quid Pro.

Why didn't the OP ask what the people at 'The Nation' thinks? I mean, come on, 'The Daily Kooks?

8 plastic grocery bags of food cost me about $50 when Trump was in office.
The SAME groceries, since the Commies got in office, have skyrocketed. I went to the grocery store yesterday, buying my usual foods, and 4 plastic grocery bags cost me over $100.00!!

Well, at least something good has come from these higher prices.

Sometimes, when awful things are going on like this, we bury ourselves in news about it. We are unable to turn away. Other times, we avoid all news because we can’t deal with it.


In both cases you end up missing all the good news that is out there. And that doesn’t help anyone’s wellbeing and ability to actively contribute to a better world.

So here is some good news from this week to provide some balance and relief so you can deal with the tough stuff and even act to make things better.

Don’t you feel better now?

I think it's heartening to see the Dems tacking back to deficit reducation and paying for healthcare and retirement.

Reeducation camps are a MAJOR priority of the democrat Reich.

Glad you get a thrill out of death camps - guess it's why you're a dim.
