    !!! ... oh. Disappointing; I thought you were about to go all-in against the concept of money.

    I have never heard anyone say aborting a fetus is like executing a serial killer. It's ludicrous in so many ways it's hard to know where to begin. Did you really hear this from an actual human being with your own ears?

    Hey, it's not my idea. You don't waive your right to vote, but if we're banning all mail-in voting other than for military personnel, I think it's a bit weird to make that exception. If you're on leave or lucky enough to be close enough to your polling place you can vote your heart out. Those...

    In that case, why make an exception for the military? They knew what they were potentially signing up for.

    It could be that the Biden administration perenially tries to get something done so he can take credit for a recent event in the speech, and has to delay the speech because of time overruns on the planned accomplishment, while normal presidents just use whatever they've got (or plan better).

    Wasn't it scheduled too far in advance for that to make sense?

    Alexei Navalny just fell out of his prison cell window.

    If a draft does happen again, and the political landscape is halfway recognizable from what we have now, I am very confident that women are going to end up getting drafted. But I'm even more confident that this isn't a question that the Biden administration will have to face.

    Can't the US just clamp down on the money again? I was under the impression that it wasn't actually released to full Iranian control but rather was being moved to a position from which Iran could order that it be used for humanitarian supplies instead of sitting inert in the bank.

    It sounds like you're assuming they need lockdowns to do a major push of mail-in ballots. Why?

    I will consider my predictions disproven if this expands to the general public again instead of being limited to employee mandates.

    I don't suppose you could point me in a direction where I can find that? It's just interesting because I've actually been hearing a lot about Vaush (including a lot of criticism) in the last couple months for some reason but him being astrosurfed was definitely not something I'd heard a peep of...

    I was going to say that I've observed fairly widespread criticism from the left of Biden to the effect that his immigration policy/execution is insufficiently different from Trump's ... ... but then I realized that this doesn't exactly contradict your bottom line.

    His strength, as I understand it, is in analyzing data like demographic statistics, and however much you distrust the institutions I don't think they're cooking the books on those numbers (in the US). Happy to be shown otherwise if you think there's a strong case for it. (But don't bother...

    You know, I thought I disagreed with you because it said "Leadership Series" so OF COURSE he's going to focus on the positives and skim over the negatives to get back to what the video's really about. But then I watched one of the other videos and it seems like they're supposed to be a holistic...

    It may be true that Zeihan is a China doomer but there's a difference between being wrong about the future and wrong about the present. He admits the deal may fall through but do you disagree that it would be a good deal if it didn't? Also, it doesn't have to "satisfy" Israel, it's a success if...

    I am not sure how I missed this, but I'm glad I was in the zeihan thread with time on my hands to click through to another title: Basically, according to Zeihan, Team Biden was the reason Obama got a brainwave on Iran to begin with, and now Obama's not in the way to screw up the execution so...

    The post I saw cited (no source, of course) was about how Biden was visiting his state and he was dusting off a sniper rifle to welcome him with or something like that. Do you happen to know if that one also had laughing emojis on it?
