In this context.....It is extremely important to continue to refer to the biden regime as such.

It's in the name of the capital and in the national anthem. Washington regime, it's been a bloodthirsty cabal since the original Washington was mocking Jefferson over his slave love, while George himself was busy slaughtering the natives.

What an interesting take on American History.

interesting? To each his own, I guess. I find it horrific.

I don't think you do. I think you're jealous, actually. Your prose is violent. As violent as America's history.

So wait, let me get this straight. You think it would be wrong and insulting to refer to the House of Saud as a regime? Jesus, go long bonesaws everyone!! That's sure to save the planet from the "Empire."

No worries, every degree of cooling in American-Saudi relationship boosts sales of Canadian and Italian weapons for killing Yemeni Civilians.

Excellent and accurate! Thanks, CJ!

KJP is an intersectional DEI affirmative action shield like Horizontal Heiress and SecDef Raytheon. If you criticize our regime, you're racist. The BLM/LGBTQ bomb meme is real.

Always brilliant, Caitlin. I've certainly thought about these 'color' words that get applied to slip a value judgment into a noun. But it didn't occur to me that 'regime' made its government a blight on the people, so you could behead a country to save it from itself. Very efficient use of words, those propagandists.

Caitlin Johnstone, you should write the 21st-century's Manufacturing Consent. But concise, accessible, in your characteristic no bs style. Something we could give to every adult and every teenager with a "read this until you know it by heart".

It's a battle of words and labels, sanctimonious facial expressions and body language: you master these, you win. I think Stuart Jones was alluding to some kind of sensitivity indoctrination classes for Mohammad bin Saud, some basic etiquette: he's just a diamond in the rough - a temporary PR problem, but lot's of potential.

Hypocrites constantly injury their tongues for double talk.

Russian proverb? Chinese? Arab?

I have one.

Obese Saudi princes who use bonesaws to slice up their victims injury their fat ankles.

Kapital Kop Cosplay Coup Congressional committee caper isn't the only game in town? We've also got Biden's war to bail-out our FRACKING Ponzi Scheme?

I almost feel sorry for her. She doesn't have the iron of her predecessor, Pasaki.

... just Pasaki's greed and lack of compassion was sufficient qualifications.

Still, they're a tad better than Sean Spicy and the female pro wrestler/linebacker Sarah Huckleberry Hound.

I like to say "Bush regime" in regards to the Iraq invasion, but it runs the risk of getting the post deleted by the censors.

****.....but because it is aligned with the interests of Washington that pejorative label is typically avoided at the upper echelons of imperial narrative management.****

You would think if Saudi Arabia was aligned, it wouldn't have refused to sanction Russia in line with Washington's wishes. I'll know things have really hit the fan and we're truly in the Singularity when the House of Saud is toppled and Saudi Arabia is failed.

No doubt Stu Jones 100% supports MBS's Sports Washing and LIV. I have duly noted the Norman and Mickelson critics point to Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses and Jamal but they don't say a thing about the Saudi war on Yemen and America's support of it.

I have to laugh at conservative douchebags quipping back we should refer to Biden's administration as the Biden Regime. Biden and his administration are errand boys sent by grocery clerks to collect bills. It's the Wall Street Regime and if any of you have skin in that game, you are guilty as charged. Having skin in that game is purely voluntary. It's not compulsory like paying taxes.
