"I wonder what you find is the value from following or discussing Caitlin Johnstone's essays if all you want to do is drop in Right-wing talking points?" Well, hopefully she and her guests are  more open to a difference of opinion then you are, and trust me I don't want to be your buddy, so rest assured my opinions are not geared toward garnering your approval.  So you find me peculiar, well, judging by the content of your response I'll just take that as a compliment. I see you're also an armchair analyst, okay,  so I defend Trump in some regards, so you already know I don't suffer from Trump derangement syndrome. Good for you. When you say women are saving our system, I hope you're not including Clinton, or her husband's secretary of state Madeleine Albright who thought 500 thousand dead children due to sanctions on Iraq was worth it? Oh maybe you mean the Squad, made up of almost all women, along with the members of the "progressive democratic caucus" retracted their letter of give peace a chance? Or, maybe  you mean Pelosi, who said she was on the intell committee in the build up to war with Iraq,  so she knew they had no weapons of mass destruction, so she didn't vote for the war, but she remained silent and didn't even tell Biden who was the chair of the foreign relations comm. in the Senate, and he sold the war to the democrats.  Well he was for war with Iraq back in the 1990's, although he lied about that.  Lets just summarize by saying there are good women and bad women, just like men in the political arena, and they can be as self serving, as any man. Not to mention that in both parties, women, just like men are beholden to corporate wealth and like men they will make their issues their first priority, whether they be republicans, or democrats. Read Thomas Frank's book, "Listen Liberal", a democrat, but one who knows that for decades democrats have gone astray and abandoned their working class base, so don't tell me any fairy tales."I suppose you don't think that Clinton and the democrats who pushed the lie of Russia-gate should be held accountable." Yes, pushing the lie of Russia-gate to remove an elected president from office based on lies, especially lies made up by an opposing presidential candidate and her party requires accountability.           What you continue to call an insurrection is defined by many, like Greenwald, as a riot. this  was published by Reuters in Aug, of 2021: The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations." By all means daydream if you must about an insurrection, if it provides the support you need to continue to see Trump in solely black and white terms, and maintain your despicable contempt for his base. However don't accuse me of being highly biased. As they say in the world of psychology, you're projecting.
