    High gas prices?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Can you imagine the uproar had something comparable to this been uttered three years ago? I have to think they want an overreaction. You just can't trot out a phrase like 'liberal world order' and not expect something like that.

            "Liberal world order" is a deeply comforting phrase to those who live in abject terror of the existential threat of conservative politics. Which is to say, mainstream progressives. (Just ask them.)

                Obviously I'm not American, but the phrase made me laugh my ass off for an extended period.

                Lots of things that Americans say make me do this.

                    Per this month's Harpers Index - citing a Yahoo/YouGov Poll, half of Republicans believe that high-level Democrats run a child sex-trafficking ring.

                      11% of Americans believe that HTML is a venereal disease.

                        Seems like nobody here understood his point. Remember they still are operating on the ‘putin is the reason for high gas prices’ message.

                        So the liberal world order he’s referring to isn’t as opposed to a conservative world order. It’s as opposed to dictators launching wars of empire at will.

                        Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                          It's 'liberal world order' as in 'liberal democracy'

                          Long, long ago, 'liberal' was actually a compliment.

                            Perhaps. Still a poor choice of phrase to use world order of any sort these days.

                              I confess I also took it the wrong way -- and nodded along with your doubt that it was authentic. But I like the notion of people like him using terms in their proper context -- the more often, the better. The more it happens, the greater the support against misuse and miscommunication.

                                      It's actually worse than that. he's still blaming high gas prices on Russia. It was over $4 a year before they invaded. Such bullshit, and his attitude is atrocious.

                                        How was that the proper context?

                                        See Phibes' post at #11.

                                        It probably was inflammatory, but only because he was misunderstood. But if we cease using words with accuracy, we're giving in to ignorance.

                                        I disagree that his words were clear or accurate in any way.

                                          He was so comfortable using a sickening phrase like that.

                                          That means he sits in the oval office with other people who use that phrase, and they all think it is good.
