I don't even fully get -why- the Admin is gunning for war. Even a basic analysis says that doing so will utterly nuke any remaining chance of keeping the Whitehouse. Yah, it will likely solidify their base beneath them... but that's not even above 30% of the vote, 35% max assuming the -best- media blitz possible.

But it will lionize the Right and Independents find the idea abhorrent. It would rend off massive chunks of the necessary vote.

TPTB hate Russia for being kicked out of it when Stalin removed the Trotskyites + Bolshiveks and for being, for better or worse, a Christian nation. The war is for revenge seeing as the move to China was rejected. This is their last foreseeable position or power and the US' strength is waning

It's one of the problems of a purelyatwrialistic POV of the world. You miss shit.

They can't steal it again. It cost them a lot of money and political capital that not only did they not get back but are in the red for both.

Oh god, if they try anyway... Remembering the average activist on the street are pretty stupid... they know the tactic worked, but they don't know why and they don't know the greater scope of things. Imagine a few dozen activists going rogue and trying to rig elections WITHOUT the money and political capital backing them up. Imagine the DNC and the media machine trying to spin and hide THAT.

It’s gotten to the point that schools actually are trying to find new ways to burn the money. I went to engineering school out in West Texas. We had a football team and some amphitheater’s but it wasn’t particularly luxurious.

While I was there, the University leadership declared that they were going to become a tier 1 school (whatever that means) and started beautifying the campus. Here’s a random clock tower out behind this dorm that’s off the beaten path. Let’s turn the aging football stadium into a massive coliseum. Etc etc

At the time I remember thinking this is just going to drive up the cost of admission and does nothing to better the education I’m receiving.

Fast forward 20 years (damn I feel old typing that) and all of a sudden they have indoor training facilities for the athletic teams. The workout facility has been upgraded so much that they ran out of things to add, so they just said fuck it and built a lazy river in it... for reasons I can’t discern.

No wonder tuition has spiked to the level it has.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but tuition has spiked to the level it has because the schools have an infinite source of "free" money -- federally backed student loans. Students can go to school "for free" and the schools still get paid. Students can get a worthless degree that won't get them a job, and the schools still get paid. Students can end up working at Starbucks with a Masters Degree in Feminist Dance Therapy, and the schools still get paid. Yeah, sucks for the students over the next 40+ years of paying it off... but the schools still get paid. So why WOULDN'T they hike prices up to as high as the government will guarantee the loans for?

The order is expected to come in the next few weeks, a person familiar with the plan tells Barron's.

I just want to point out if Kamala Harris becomes the next judge in the Supreme Court, it will be more proof that we live in an aristocracy, not a constitutional republic.

This idea keeps being floated ITT and in more respectable media places in surprising fashion, so to elaborate on why they won't:
-Nominating Harris gets rid of your tie breaker in the Senate
-Worse, it immediately creates a much GREATER, immediate priority to get a replacement VP ASAP, because if Biden dies without one Pelosi becomes president, having half of his or Harris' national approval rating and immediately starting a power struggle in the House besides
-Also you are going to have to nominate an extremely unsatisfying Uniparty centrist for VP because you got rid of your tiebreaker and can't force a party-line vote, you need some RINOs on board
-Now that you have your VP that the progs all hate and your party looks extremely incestuous and incompetent besides, you now have to confirm one of the least popular Democrats to the Supreme Court
-And now you remember that Manchin is still pissed at you and Sinema has every reason to be concerned about her seat if she votes to put Kamala fucking Harris on the bench

This going to make gold go up again. All those excess money that the printer printed went to the stock market which is now volatile, real estate volatile and crypto which is barely holding.

It comes down to averages. The average life time income of a collage grad includes very high paying jobs like surgeon etc.

Those students that got the super lucrative degree like in medicine law or what ever else would graduate and file for bankruptcy.

So student loans become non discharable

Again like people here have gone over the debt trap that is college is causing alot of pain because the incentives are soo fucked up.

Makes sense. The dollar has lost 10% of it's remaining purchasing power in 2021 alone. They're trying to eliminate any viable alternative to the U.S dollar.

I am just throwing ideas out there of trying to make sense of the situation. Another one is they don't care about the polls and it's because a lot of officials have dirt in Ukraine that they don't want Russia to get their hands on? It's entirely motivated by self-interest and self-preservation.

This. There's something we are not seeing. I dont know how deep the rabbit hole goes, but it has to be compromising enough to make the head of the cabal scared. At the very least there's something tied to Biden and Hunter money wise.

Perhaps even more sinister things are afoot, as this should have been a good excuse to ditch Biden for corruption. The fact they are not doing so, makes me think this is where they keep most of their dirty laundry, or they still want to hold onto his decaying body.

Putin's smart enough to know he's got them by the balls. He's got the castle surrounded and is waiting for the inhabitants to starve.

I doubt it as well, but I'm wondering how much lower-rank ass covering is going on. If the internal structure of the party is all these little fiefdoms stacked atop of each other, and the bottom ones bore the brunt of a potential steal, would they be particularly keen to admit a weak position to leadership? With incapable political advisors, yes men and political placements in the cabinet like Buttigieg, what are the odds that they are significantly misunderstanding their own position, and genuinely believe themselves stronger than they are.

It would explain some of their hail mary moves of "why would you even try" - by their assessments and books, they might believe its a much stronger position, and be blinded by their own cloud of bullshit.

It reminds me of how the Japanese navy hid how badly the situation in the pacific was from their army counterparts. They believed the propaganda and thought they were winning even as late as 1944 at least.
 
It's not just Biden that has connections to Ukraine, Romney's family was part of the same gas firm as Hunter.

Another idea is that war was going to happen anyway because it's no secret that China, Russia, and Iran have been trying to get off the US dollar it's better to hit now when America is in a stronger position than allow the enemy to grow, they also have to hit because the people that created this mess were propping up China to be their next playground but China is not playing ball so they're stuck with America.

I think it's more that the Ukrainians have dirt on them that they don't want released in the event that they don't commit to keeping Russia out.

Absolutely! They should do this PLUS:

* Allow the Dept. of Education to disburse funds ONLY to pre-approved majors/minors
* Whittle down approved majors/minors to ones that impart skills that can lead directly to employment (STEM is not the only major that can do this)
* Mandate stricter auditing for regional accreditation
* Fine and sanction schools that fuck with employment placement numbers. EX: That guy who enrolled in BS/HR track but already works at Red Lobster nights as a waiter? NEWP. You no count that! Right now, colleges like Rasmussen, for example, use SalesForce to track placement numbers. They absolutely count Toys R Us, Target, McDick's, and the local RumpRanger gas station as "relevant" placements--even IF the student came in with the job already.

That is some Everest/Westwood/DeVry/Browns Business Collage bullshit, and it has to STOP.

Great point. A counter suggestion, they (the Ukrainians) can be more easily removed and replaced if they become a problem, the Russians can't.

The thing about the digital age is that once recordings and emails are archived, you can't really ever be sure they're gone.

Now you see to agree with this I have to believe that those in power learned a lesson with the DNC email leaks. 🌈
