There are more than 6000 documents in the Twain Collection and it costs 40 bucks an hour to research. I personally believe Twain to be the greatest historian in history. I am not an aristocrat or a priest or a scribe. twain saw through the eyes of a riverboat captain writing a diary like the first English novelist Daniel Defoe. The international man of mystery the original James Bond. Defoe created our Man Friday.
Want to understand slavery, read Defoe. He wrote Robinson Crusoe so Swift could write Gulliver's Travels while Vilnius gave birth to the Enlightenment.
Twain is alleged to have said
Sometimes I wonder if the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or imbeciles who really mean it.
Some academic said there is no record of Twain saying such a thing and I said I failed elementary school. I know Twain kept diaries and journals and wrote every day but he made a fortune as a public speaker, raconteur and comedian and there were no tape machines only scribes in attendance.
The wisdom of king's has always been the subject of literature.
Twain was the best but Diogenes didn't have a pen and Socrates was more or less a Platonic creation.
As Newton said and Milton and Locke concurred. We are standing on the shoulders of giants. Darwin took two centuries to explain the biological significance.
Possibly because Finland or Norway are the most fully democratic countries in the world. There are 21 Full Democracies in the World and the USA is not on the list.
I know it was Sweden and Finland. It was Canada and Lithuania as well. Norway is the world's leading Democracy or at it is most often number one but that is all perspective. Americans think their Flawed Democracy is really democratic when it has always been an oligarchy metaphysically speaking.
It has been an Empire for almost a century and you can't be both an Empire and a Full Democracy at the same time.
Sweden and Finland were chosen to lead NATO not follow your insanity.
I know this because that is what we talk about in CANADA. We are the conspiracy against US Imperialism. We are the colony America was in 1776.
John Ralston Saul is our Benjamin Franklin and JP is our Benedict Arnold. He was born in Fascist AntiSemitic Alberta under the same government as Ted Cruz. Social Credit was antiSemitic when Major Clifford Douglas established Social Credit as a antiSemitic Christionist hate mongering economic ands social philosophy. The Prime Ministers of Alberta for 35 years were radio evangelist hate mongers. They say I am autistic and can imagine strange exotic worlds but it is the truth.
while there are so many good choices, from the perpetually face-punchable Cruz to that despicable phony Pelosi, the spotlight of collective contempt should shine most brightly on McConnell, who is not only an evil son of a bitch, but so morally depraved that he delights in his own evilness.
Recency bias strongly at play here given that you have to dig to find Mitch. He may be out of fashion these days but come on, he’s still got the championship belt
I agree 95%. I don’t think Cruz is stupid at all. He knows the constitution better than most. He may sound stupid but I assure you he’s very intelligent.
It's like the academy awards for whores. Not sure there is enough time to really de-vein the animus towards this group of sleaze. So, I'll just make a list and associate that list with their brand of bullshit.
Top 10 Whores & Their Specialization
1. Joe Manchin & Kristin Senema --- withholding pleasure (Dom) and giving in (Sub)
I'd like to thank the academy (military industrial complex, intelligence agencies, and our corporate benefactors) for allowing me the opportunity to cheat hard working Americans. This academy award is for all the big people.
Nancy Pelosi
Followed closely by Adam Schiff
The Wicked Witch of the West!
Undoubtedly.
But Schiff is just her flying monkey!
Schumer… Tin Man.
McConnell… Cowardly Lion.
Josh “if I only had a brain” Hawley.
And I suppose Kamala is poor bewildered Dorothy at the moment she realizes she’s not in Kansas anymore.
And Raytheon’s...
Yes, it changes, but she's definitely at the top right now because of her idiotic, ego-drivenm, war mongering trip to Taiwan.
Don’t forget her husband’s insider trading.
Joe Manchin
"Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself."
“There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
"Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can."

Sometimes I wonder if the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or imbeciles who really mean it.
Whether he said it or not, it is a question that has puzzled me most of my life.
Some academic said there is no record of Twain saying such a thing and I said I failed elementary school. I know Twain kept diaries and journals and wrote every day but he made a fortune as a public speaker, raconteur and comedian and there were no tape machines only scribes in attendance.
Thank you for reminding us! Plus ça change.....

Can fleas jump for money?
Asking for a friend.
Matt Gaetz Josh Hawley, Boebert, the entire Squad, Adam Schiff and the looney leadership on both sides that leverages their antics
Self serving, spineless twit, always ready to chase a stationary ambulance. Advocating revolution while sipping Apirol spritzes.
I think you have Senator Hawley mixed up with someone else. He’s a complete opposite of what you described.
Asking that question is cringeworthy.
Was he the lone vote against adding Finland to NATO? Probably the only good thing he's done and who knows why.
Possibly because Finland or Norway are the most fully democratic countries in the world. There are 21 Full Democracies in the World and the USA is not on the list.

Well they'll lose some of their people's wealth when they start paying for NATO military requirements. Actually, it was Finland and Sweden.
I know it was Sweden and Finland. It was Canada and Lithuania as well. Norway is the world's leading Democracy or at it is most often number one but that is all perspective. Americans think their Flawed Democracy is really democratic when it has always been an oligarchy metaphysically speaking.

Even I on my best day I couldn't make this up.
while there are so many good choices, from the perpetually face-punchable Cruz to that despicable phony Pelosi, the spotlight of collective contempt should shine most brightly on McConnell, who is not only an evil son of a bitch, but so morally depraved that he delights in his own evilness.

100%
Mitch, very closely followed by Nancy. Ted is too stupid to despise, Mitch and Nancy are actually cunning and evil in a special kind of way.
Correction, Nancy used to be cunning. She has really been slipping these days.
I agree 95%. I don’t think Cruz is stupid at all. He knows the constitution better than most. He may sound stupid but I assure you he’s very intelligent.
Fuck em all to the dirt
Adam Schiff, followed by Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi
As a Texan I have to choose Cancun Cruz.
Schiff, but Lyndsey Graham is a close second.
Don't forget Eric Swalwell .
That's an easy one, Nancy Pelosi. Arrogant and clueless, just what you would want as a Congress person. Adam Schiff is high on the list as well.
Each and every goddamned one of them. Narcissists. Sociopaths. Thieves.
All of them! They all become corrupted pretty quickly if they weren’t b4 entering elected office.
It's like the academy awards for whores. Not sure there is enough time to really de-vein the animus towards this group of sleaze. So, I'll just make a list and associate that list with their brand of bullshit.

4. Lindsay Graham ---- Trafficking in Ukrainian Midget Porn
5. Mitch McConnell ---- Beastiality (Turtles)
6. Adam Schiff ----- Urinalysis, Pee Tapes, & Clandestine Russian urea, urinals (Urals)
7. Liz & Dick Cheney ---- Political Obsession Wincest (POW's)
