Sounds like you don't know a thing about Joe Stalin, one of the most ruthless dictators of the 20th century surpassed only by Adolf Hitler. Indeed, about the only thing you might say to distinguish the two was that Stalin was pretty indiscriminate in his terror; For instance, he killed something like 3.3 to 7.5 million Ukrainians because he wanted their land. Th is was during the time Koch's old man was buddy number one. pubby To give you an idea of how cheap Stalin was and how extraordinary it was for someone to come away from dealing with him with a fortune know that his strategy

Actually Koch industries has relationships with Russia that date to the 1930s when their father was given the task of establishing the Russian oil industry. Fact is, Daddy Koch made his fortune off this contract with Joe Stalin. Of course, in the mindset of trumpism, this means that old man Kock was one of Joe Stalin's most loyal sycophants. pubby

Soros is an 87 year old billionaire who not only is contributing money to progressive causes that capture his imagination but as an American citizen free to spend his money as he damn well pleases. At 87, you're and other right wing conspiracy theorists, are nuts thinking any 87 year old (who has supported laws allowing assisted suicide) is some how plotting to take over the world. I think it is cool that he would contribute a million dollars to a black woman running for the governorship of Georgia. That he is willing to drop a million on this kind of political long shot shows his sen

My understanding, no disclosures were made, is that all the money came from residents of the county or adjacent counties. Paulding First is a different kind of entity under the tax laws and I don't serve on their board or have anything other than a passing knowledge of that entity, its precise tax status or anything specific about its total funding. The question is what role I had in some video which I have not seen or seen posted as I only go rarely on facebook and have avoided the BS there. I said the creative for the campaign was crafted by the Stoneridge Group, LLC of Buford; the

Why did you say I didn't know Geoff Hutton? I've never denied not knowing Geoff. He used to post here (EFHutton) in 2013-16 in favor of the airport and I've known him for years. Paulding First is the primary donor to my 527; that is a matter of public record. On the rumors of law suits, the incidence of law suits over the content of political ads is exceptionally rare. I mean if the victim of the Sexxx Shoppes in Dallas mailer had no grounds for a suit ... (and the victim being a lawyer) ... pretty much tells you the state of the law in this regard. Finally, and I hope your head do

I can't verify it because I've visited neither the website or the facebook page. Amazing what you can outsource these days. The 'game' ... and this is how it was played in 2014 and 2016 as well ... is to hire a ruthless consultant that polls the electorate, grasps their pre-programmed attitudes which is particularly easy for Republicans and tell them you want to win and ask only how much does it cost? Then you turn it over to the consultants who earn bonuses if they win and are very insistent on the message it will take to win. It is almost formulaic in design and style and if you

I don't go on facebook so I can't say. I've not seen the videos produced I will ask you, though, is the video you reference fake because it comes from Fox 5? Or is the allegation that it has been altered? Frankly, and I think you know this, if I had a access to the video, I'd post it here. Do you see it? pubby

I don't live in district 19. I am no fan of Paulette but from what I surmise based on policy positions and political connections, I am even less supportive of Mr. Gullett. You know it like 'bad, worse, worst' decision tree and in this case Paulette is the bad. pubby

That is the silliest thing I've ever heard. I thought you believed I was a henchman to Nancy Pelosi and Corey Booker, not the Republican commission chairman of Paulding County who isn't in the pocket of the democratic powers that be that own Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Sad and pathetic almost deserving of pity, you're hatefulness is surpassed only by your ignorance. pubby PS: My understanding is all the money behind my 527 is local. Contrasting with that is the knowledge that outside money was behind Virginia Galloway's Americans for Prosperity and Faith and Free

If you're so bold as to suggest my heart lies with these dicks, I'll, in the spirit of the moment, suggest your heart lies with Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, and Vladimir Putin. No I would never make such a statement except in response to an absurdity brought about by the absurdity of the divisions that the GOP are preaching. Now I'm willing to take back this insult if you take back your equally, if not more ridiculous insult. pubby

If he had said what you said, I would have said only that I oppose a ridiculous wall. .when he calls neo-nazi's good people as they chant blood and soil while walking through a southern city waving confederate flags and protecting statues of traitors to the Union, I add both bigot and nazi to the spiel. pubby

That's utter BS. Even Obama was criticized for the high level of deportations that occurred during his administration. If you haven't grasped it, Trumps interest in demonizing immigration is just another way to rally the bigoted portion of his base. While there is some overlap with the gun part of the base and the climate denying part of the base and the main-street part of his base, there are few other policy areas that he combine hate, fear and bigotry into a significant voting block. On today's events, even Newt Gingrich criticized Trump saying his comments in Helsinki were the wor

What gave you the idea that ANYONE WAS FOR UNFETTERED ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION? We just don't want to jail everyone who comes across the border, take their kids away and lock-em in cages and participate in the despised scum immigrant bigotry that is the highlight of the right. It is observable that there is and has been a net out-migration since 2008 and that communities that call themselves 'sanctuary cities' tend to do better in policing these immigrant communities because the mere appearance of LEO does not mean deportation ... and if you are a victim of a crime this means that talking

Including the grandmother whose involvement with the cartel was the proximate cause of the innocent child's death? Finally, I have no problem with acting very aggressively toward the cartel. I just know that one of the keys to any kind of law enforcement is to have good relations with the vast majority of hispanics who have no association with the cartel but instead are victims of their predatory activities. The problem with the right-wing lock'em all up policies is that the threat of incarceration and deportation kill any local cooperation. Further, you have to be either unforgivabl

You gloss over the part of the story where the grandmother was a member/representative/principal of the cartel and was apparently doing some things that made the two men - they could be American while she is Mexican - think she was double-crossing them in a criminal encounter. The article does not state the immigration status of the two men charged and the Palimino last name sounds awfully "native American" It was a grizzly crime committed by meth heads in the midst of a bad drug deal that obviously involved the tragic death of an autistic child; the grand child of the cartel member.

The Republicans want intimate and close relations with Russia and Putin; but won't that bring mobsters, fascists, mysogynists and rapists into our neighborhood and schools? Of course the answer is all those things are already there because a portion of the Americans living in our society today are criminals. Before you get all huffy-puffy about how I'm dissing Americans, look at the prison population which is overwhelmingly American. Then look at the number of people incarcerated. Obviously Americans can be bad boys, rapists, murderers, thieves, robbers, child pornographers, etc. Ju

Journalism is a job that requires a specific skill set and knowledge base. Like any job, if you have the skills you can do that job. What separates a good journalist from a hack is their dedication to the truth. For instance, when there was the story of the girl shot in California by the illegal immigrant, the initial story was that he had a gun and just shot here. This was the way it was played despite the fact that a judge and jury deemed the guy innocent because he found the gun and when he dropped it - at least that is one report - it accidentally discharged and killed the girl. Cer

Disruptive change is naturally upsetting to everyone. Most people like stability and are willing to overlook, ignore or even deceive themselves if such self-manipulations will help them maintain the illusion of stability and the self-confidence that comes from it. That there are those who will exploit this tendency to self-delude for the sake of stability is human nature. The reality is that in a period of rapid, disruptive change, one of society's failings, especially in democratically, is the rules, norms and taboos of the previous period of stability erode in their effectiveness. Why?

Truth in Paulding has not sent out a mailer since before the election in May. I have not seen nor approved a mailer supportive of Paulette. You must be mistaken. pubby

Despiration? No. Observation. Every where we look we see right wingers proud to open and conceal carry guns in a not too transparent effort to bully and intimidate those who know that when everyone has a gun on their hips, we will no longer live in civil society but rather hope to survive a civil war. pubby Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative Read more at: https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/john_stuart_mill_201721
