4/22/24 I finally woke up to the fact that I'm a cannabis addict. Complete and utter SLAVE to it. Been lying (laying? I forget) on the sofa for the last SIX years, every day/all day, telling myself that I need this medicine - for my headaches, my depression, my anxiety. To sleep. To think clearly and creatively. Overcome all the trauma I've experienced. To be a "nicer" person - not so cranky. RIGHT! At one point I was spending $700 to $800 a month on it OUT OF MY SOCIAL SECURITY! Just three weeks and my maladies are leaving the building one by one and my bank balance is the same as it was 3 weeks ago. I was exacerbating my problems, not alleviating them! I'm late to your party AND you arrived just in the nick of time. Today was emotionally hideous and am loving every word of what you say and have ordered the book. I'm not anti-pot or decriminalization. If it works for you, FANTASTIC! But I AM an addict and it stopped working for me. Pray to never go back, one day at a time. Thank you so much for this.
“I thought, how hard can disguise be…?” We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they would be easy…😅😂
Why is Raskin not the Minority Leader? Nancy P blew a great opportunity to make the party a formidable force.
I _absolutely_ love Annie's voice. Her ebooks are awesome and I'm so glad she reads her own and her candid talks are always tremendous!
BS, he said the US can sit back and build wall and worry about their own problem and not the world but then the world is always interested in engaging them...that's a lie. US has never mind their own business but was the biggest instigator and prop up problems all over the world.
So many pearls of wisdom. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
so is bobby a bad guy or just a goober,,,or just nie-eve
Now this is where I belong why hello “gentlemen”
5 states have populations of less than a million, i.e., way fewer than my medium-size central Florida metropolitan area. Yet each of those 5 rural states critically has 2 Senators. No wonder they suck up so much federal funding.
A good take on this is Ann Cox Richardson's book, "How The South Won The Civil War."
Wow, I forgot how pivotal Pat Buchanan was to initiating extremist republican views! 😨🤨
It’s not right v left, but wealthy v everyone else. Legislators used trump to advance a hefty tax cut while many Americans suffer:(
RFK all the way! This man has all the qualities over the years needed to run this country! Yes, he had a VERY bad past with addiction alldultery, but he accepted it and learned from it. RFK POTUS NS VP2024
Us international politic is me, myself and I. If US representative would simply put themselves in the place of others power and leaders they would understand that they built this threat by themselves.
The first proof anyone would mention is that the US never respected the rules of laws themselves. Strangely, they expect others to not do the same in front of that behaviour.
One strong point I haven't heard here is that I believe Dulles's brother John foster Dulles was secretary of state .
Im sold on this book 📚
Very insightful. Thank you
THANK YOU, MANY OF US HAD THESE SAME DOUBTS AND QUESTIONS, BUT FELT THE DEATHS WOULD BE COVERED UP BY THE PROS …THANK GOD, FINALLY THE TRUTH 🙏❤️🙏
Thankful that George Packer shared his contempt for “Just America.” It is ruining our country and Slaughter is too misguidedly empathetic to notice how destructive it is.
ya have to dread them finding a gene, physical frumps are too dangerous already without the key for psychic ability. The material sleepwalkers will want to fight a war against god when he doesn't comply with the war mongering madness and accept control devices. How many of us were murdered because we manifested psychic power from other nations, or because we cooperated to try and create joint magic readings
37:35 fareed couldn't be more right, trump only has an opening because republican voters hate republican politicans. Trump handily beats other republicans in primaries but can't win the popular vote versus a democrat to save his life.
Kennedy 24
“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.” Barry Goldwater These people are some of Trumps biggest supporters.
Trump was getting Pea'd on by 2 women
You Guys know what? China is defending the west too
about replacing that three-fifths clause: is that what section 2 "whole number of persons" of the 14th amendment is referring to?
its all about book advertisement
Ok. So no one should ever write a book about anything ever and God forbid...promote it.
10$ for commonwealth club. title should say That's about book advertisement. I would never look that video. my time was stolen. maybe you can give me back?
This commentator does all the talking.
Ain't they embarrassed about themselves? How can they be blind and shameless?
Genocide at Xinjiang 😂😂😂 WTF
Anyone who can't find at least some good evidence for vaccination causing or at least correlated with health defects including autism just hasn't even looked. If you just take the data, you have to make an argument to explain why one SHOULDN'T make the connection. I'm all for balanced and healthy reporting, so let's cut the outright BS and inversions of basic facts, guys.
Unless this is the future that isn't me
I never meant for this. There are ads on my screen
Chris Douglas Dixon. That's not me
In the first 12 minutes, I know already his book is simply a trash.
BS...
Message still holds true today.
a funny moment at 20:00 . Khrushev gave back crimea to Ukraine :) crimea was never part of Ukraine before 1954. Ukraine and crimea were completely unrelated before that. Crimea could be “ given back” only to Crimean tatars, ottoman Turks, or Greeks :)
At 15:50 the speaker says that the US realized too late that their (Chinese, russian) hierarchy values are not the same as ours (American). I beg to disagree. I think in reality the US learned that this countries, just like the US, care about national security and serviceability of their nation above everything else. They are not economic agents, they are states. Just like America which will do everything for national security, including shutting down their democracy for a while if needed,
Is this a Comedy Central channel?
Do not confuse "fail-proof" with "fail-safe."
Unfortunately, Xi Jinping was spending time with a different Biden than the one who ultimately became president of the United States.
And they’ve been lying 🤥 ever since. And someday, in another 60 years, we’ll find out the real story behind 911.
The consul general is well versed he speaks clearly and career diploma t
"defend the west" is just an excuse for their empire to keep exporting poverty and fascism
I remember her so well. A favorite on the tv game show series, but also knew, even as a young kid, that she had a background as a serious reporter/journalist. She was very famous to pretty much everytone. Fro some reason I had a feeling she was going to be killed or just die. I got a new callender each year at beginning of year in which, at the head of it in January I'd make a few predictions, including who would pass away that year famous people that is), and in 65 I wrote Dorothy Killgallen, the only name I jotted that year. Not that she was on my mind in particular as a favorite or anything, just a gut-level reaction. I may still have that page somewhere. It was truly a weird thing, but it has happened to me many times, these sort of "premonitions". Strange.
Assuming we know beauty and what it is not and if we agree; How do you know what it is known without the eyes to see it? for my eye of beauty could be not the same as yours. beauty could be anything that I say is beautiful. And maybe I’ll allow you see or maybe not. Only time will tell…. And if you do think you finally see beauty, would you be honest to me about this beauty because I’ll know for a fact if you see it for yourself.
This is a joke. Pure garbage.
GOOD at lying, the speaker.
