Ron Klein will be gone before long and Susan Rice is high on the list to replace him. Problem is the progressives all hate her guts because she is moderate on some issues such as the reparations scam, open borders, and student loan scam. Yes she lied through her arse on that Benghazi thing and that was reprehensible. Nevertheless, it was amazing in some ways how she stepped forward to take a bullet for Hillary. You may remember when it blew up Hillary was supposed to testify or speak to it so Hillary faked some accident/injury and said she and Bill were having sex in the shower and she slipped or something so was too ill to speak to the issue for a while. So Susan Rice, like a Japanese warrior, walked right into it to protect Hillary and got both legs of her political career blown off. Of course, she was expecting Hillary to be elected President at some point and therefore expecting that her service on the front lines would be rewarded. womp....womp...womp!!!! She is quite a bit more savvy than most of those progressive idiots though, and she is experienced in Beltway hand to hand combat. She might reappear in some other role this year. She is allegedly Biden's senior domestic advisor now even though all of her previous experience is in foreign affairs. She took that job because she is Obama's and Valerie Jarretts pick for president and Obama told her she needed to get some domestic affairs experience on her resume.
What a cheery message for the new year. Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov urges Russians not to fear death, claiming life is "highly overrated" https://www.yahoo.com/now/russian-propagandist-solovyov-urges-russians-145405497.html
Comrade Ballsy there. Of note, Putin specifically exempted Russian tv journalists from mobilization. In addition, Comrade Ballsy just turned 60.
Cool things in Ukraine! Jan. 1 was Stepan Bandera day. He's a national hero. Here are some of his views (from Wikipedia): According to Grzegorz Rossoliński-Liebe "Bandera's worldview was shaped by numerous far-right values and concepts including ultranationalism, fascism, racism, and antisemitism; by fascination with violence; by the belief that only war could establish a Ukrainian state; and by hostility to democracy, communism, and socialism. Like other young Ukrainian nationalists, he combined extremism with religion and used religion to sacralize politics and violence."[2]: 115 Historian John-Paul Himka writes that Bandera remained true to the fascist ideology to the end.[44] Swedish-American historian Per Anders Rudling said that Bandera and his followers "advocated the selective breeding to create a 'pure' Ukrainian race[18] and that "the OUN shared the fascist attributes of anti-liberalism, anti-conservatism, and anti-communism, an armed party, totalitarianism, anti-Semitism, Führerprinzip, and adoption of fascist greetings. Its leaders eagerly emphasized to Hitler and Ribbentrop that they shared the Nazi Weltanschauung and a commitment to a fascist New Europe."[54][full citation needed] Bandera, his deputies, and the Nazis shared a key obsession, namely the notion that the Jews in Ukraine were behind Communism and Stalinist imperialism and must be destroyed."[6] HERO!
I thought Putin told us the Europeans would be freezing to death this winter after he cut off gas to them. Putin ‘leaving Russians to freeze’ after temperatures plunge to -46°C https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...to-46-c/ar-AA15Vkox?ocid=weather-verthp-feeds
Holy Sh#t. -46C is -50F. For reference, the average low temperature for Fairbanks, Alaska in January is -14F. Most people would consider Maine to be a cold state and in decades of living there I only saw -35F a few times and it was not pretty. Those temps make it very hard to manage your house and stay warm EVEN IF YOU DO HAVE FUEL. Let's just say there is going to be some vodka consumed there beyond normal levels. And "normal" already is crazy scary. If the Russians had alcohol stoves and burned the same amount of alcohol that they consume, then their houses would be like Palm Beach in the winter time.
The Ukrainians should capture Solovyov and ask him if he is ready to die. We will see his reaction. I bet he will change his mind and say that life is not overrated at all. He will beg and cry not to be killed. It is easy to speak about other people's life.
