I think Kamala will pull in a fair number of (let us say it) racist Democrats who will nevertheless respect her hard-assed Prosecutorial hard-on-crime chops. Politics, yet again, is the art of the possible.

Here where I live in Raleigh NC there is also an enormous pan-African emigrant community, judging from the many many Lyft & Uber drivers I ride and talk with who came here from all over Africa. They all say the identical things you do in your post here.

This btw cannot be emphasized enough. The laziness and detachment among 20-somethings is unnerving.

Do you really think wilting violets like she are going to decide the election? Or are you actually telegraphing that you want four more years of the Orange Dictator?

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

Documented evidence? We are all ears.

Perhaps you have not followed the line of direct relevancy thereto in my postings, to include the above-referenced. (If I were mean, I would say ’not capable of following...’ But I am not. )

'Semiotics is frequently seen as having important anthropological and sociological dimensions; for example, the Italian semiotician and novelist Umberto Eco proposed that every cultural phenomenon may be studied as communication.' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiotics

Almost certainly the strongest mind in his field (and all the fields that radiate therefrom) since Charles Sanders Peirce, the founding father of semiotics. And of much else. (The best demolition of Derrida, whom I despise beyond almost every other intellectual pathology on this planet, was when somebody [can't recall who] called Derrida a 'weak misreading of Peirce.')

People who know his stuff ‘a little bit’ think he is an aerie-fairy fantasist. In reality he is the very most hard-headed realist among all of us.

There were also LBJ, and one Abraham L. But, too sadly, not a single other President ever, really. The time has at long last come indeed. Thank God Almighty.

A searing aesthetic, and so much more, thing to experience.

Combines images of the nuclear mushroom cloud with the classical Nazi helmet. and so asks: who were truly the more terrible nazis here?

I think Biden just showed his shrewdness in self-presenting as ‘Just Sensible Uncle Joe,’ but then selecting this fiercely social-justice, economic-justice advocate as VP.

My father was in the Army toward the end of WWII, stationed in Germany, and never spoke of it. Except, once or twice, to voice his disgust with his fellow Post Office workers who endlessly gloried in their days ‘shooting those Nazis to their graves.’ Not to doubt the necessity thereof, but the whole business just disgusted him. And especially the glorifying in remembrance.

Was the Philippines in any way a militarily or strategically useful target for atomic bombing by the US?

Most of them DID. Until they saw that, with spineless Repubs backing the POTUS in the Senate, it was hopeless. See the impeachment hearings.

One frequently attempts to figure out how your solipsistic remarks have any bearing at all on the previous posts.
