The Billionaire Class is Scared

[PyramidHead]

I was mistaken to use that phrase with someone determined to take it literally, as I have explained. Are we done with that yet, or do you have some reason to continuing to prosecute it?

I have never denied that Putin is a megalomaniac, and I dispute that his ambitions have nothing to do with capitalism.

You win the blue ribbon. I guess that only makes you exceptional if you can tag someone else with having asserting that Putin's ambitions "have nothing to do with capitalism". Sorry - that ain't me.

This isn't you?

Putin's global ambitions have nothing to do with socialism, capitalism, communism or dictatorship. Putin's ambitions are all about Russia's (and his own) Great Glory. I thought I made that clear.

If you have a problem with that please tell us what your problem might be. Did you miss my further commentary or do you have some kind of deficit that keeps you from comprehending things in context?

So ... you're a single "issue" voter... or is that "single tissue"?
Such a surprise.

No, not a single "tissue" (good one, btw) voter at all, but being in favor of federal government cracking down on adult and consensual porn is disqualifying for a Democratic candidate as far as I am concerned.

Okay for a Republican?

Is this a Franz Kafka story? You literally just said "if you can tag someone else with having asserting that Putin's ambitions "have nothing to do with capitalism". Sorry - that ain't me." And I produced a quote of yours that says, VERBATIM, PUTIN'S GLOBAL AMBITIONS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SOCIALISM, CAPITALISM, ET CETERA. What context could possibly negate a = a?

I'm not here to spoon-feed you PH, nor to try to help you with your reading comprehension deficit. Now that I see how deaf you are to nuance, in the future I'll stick to the sort of literalism required by toddlers if I address you.

Putin is not driven by ideology but by self aggrandizement and preservation.
Is that simple enough for you, or should I simply put you on ignore?
