South korea is welcome to "urge" north korean troops to leave Russia, but it's likely to have the same effect as north korea urging south korean troops to leave Iraq.

You don't want any diplomatic channel with them, you've blown up every horse that you might trade, and now you want to, what? Horse trade?

What is the strategy, exactly?

The Far Right Narrative.

Has anyone ever wondered, who the alleged far right are? It's any of us, who dares to use technology in search of similar hunches, validating our inclination, that the conventional wisdom, if one can call it such, emanating from the mockingbird media and the deep state establishment. They aren't afraid of us, we don't intimidate them and yet, especially in the context of the internet, the wish to limit the reach of our thoughts, ideas,speech and associations, by extension.

Even those of us who have no followers, no audience, no influence, no guns no money, our thoughts, speech and expression, must be curtailed, especially when it is nonconforming. It wasn't enough to stamp us out on the larger, more popular social media platforms, now they will have to come up with more draconian ways to keep us in our very, confining spaces and places. It's just an opinion mind you, but it seems that the politicians, media, academia and many corporations, seem concerned that people aren't getting their information from centralized locations. They'll have to fix that. They'll have to fix "our democracy." Because if there's anything, that a purported democracy cannot tolerate or indeed, withstand, is the existence of many information sources.Information, in the eyes of our enemies, must be controlled, edited, censored and conform to the wills of the ruling, elitist, factions. Otherwise, it's just far right, terrorist, white supremacist, conspiracy theories and very mad lies. Democracies seem to be weak in the presence of such atrocities, somehow.

Another observation of the "Far Right," narrative, is the fact that, the pen is way more mighty than the sword, forget about civil war, when Americans, using the internet to connect with like minded souls utter speech which offends others, the alleged offended parties and their allies will, instead of civil war, take anyone who dares to speak freely and truthfully, to court and make their opponents broke and bankrupt. Presumably, if one is poor and penniless, then presumably, liquid measures of blood, and respective measures of flesh, will hopefully, have to suffice. One is quite sure that, this is what the founding fathers of the US, clearly intended and quite possibly, a majority of US politicians, judges and bureaucrats, especially on the federal level, would agree in the affirmative. Therefore, while we all work on our war crafts, it may well be advisable, to become, intimately comfortable, learning about the law and her nuances. Since they don't have to beat us in fights, all they have to do is take us to the courts. Many of us may soon find it more in our interests to learn to defend ourselves in that arena as well as on any battlefield.

The enemies of freedom aren't going to stop. They're as tenacious as any pests, therefore it may be advisable for many of us who believe in that great myth, called freedom, to each of us, work in our local areas to enact the political changes which will benefit us.It will also give us opportunities to renew our relationship with our neighbors. Our country is too geographically, expansive to enact any effective changes, other than from local efforts. That may shield us from the power hungry people with their useless jobs that seem to pay them, extraordinary sums of money. Like those jobs being wasted on the federal payrolls. Also, we'll have to rely more on our counties, our towns and our states, since the bloated federal government is now bloated with more than just more pork. They are bloated with tremendous amounts of debt. A debt to the tune, of thirty five trillion dollars. Now that's a very hefty amount of zeros, but it is also a hefty amount of currency as well. An amount of currency, which one suspects, could not be repaid, even if every person, illegally or not, residing in this country, had all their possessions including the clothes on our bodies, still couldn't come close to cover. Oh yes, and that includes the hated corporations and wealthy too. The sum of all our wealth, as it were is microscopic, relative to the reckless spending and wasting by the federal government. Oh, and with the interest payments, already surpassing the trillion dollars mark, yearly, it is no wonder there is such loose talk about slaves and slavery, since that and several thousand years of hard servitude, may be the only way to pay it back. I should stop now, since I do not wish to give the ruling elitists anymore bright ideas, on how to solve and satiate, their greed and need, for power.

So this #ActuallyAutistic man wants to do his civic duty and report a missing sign nearby. There's a right turn only arrow on the ground but no sign at the light. In these here parts, both are usually required.

So I go to the DC DOT website to report the problem. I first go to Roadsign Services, but because I'm asking for a *new* sign, it sends me to Traffic Safety. I go there, tell it that my problem is with a sign, and it says that I might need to report my problem with Roadsign Services.

:headache:

I decided to still submit under Traffic Safey, but WHY does it even suggest me to go back to Roadsign Services??????????????????????????????????? Why do I need to figure out where I should submit my bloody request?

I betcha that a lot of people are confused and just give up.

Oh, and that site was definitely designed by someone who likes to torture people. It looks and behaves like a giraffe on stilts.

At first, I used very spicy language in the "comments" field, but I decided to tone it down, because nobody likes to have other people point out their ineptitude.

TPM – Talking Points Memo · Navarro’s Play For A Trump Pardon Shows How Broken Things AreNavarro is aiming for a double bank shot: 1) Trump wins election in 2024; and 2) Trump pardons him.

Stark evidence of Vivek #Ramaswamy's #ineptitude and lack of fitness for elected office. It's hard to think of anyone less suitable for a #WhiteHouse position than #ElonMusk. One look at what he's done to #Twitter should disavow anyone of any notion that he'd serve our country well.
