@#1 ... The judge also warned the Trump administration's actions risk blurring the line between civil and military rule. ...

That seems to be the operative rule in these cases.

But, imo, in the end, it will be up to SCOTUS to decide whether the military can police US citizens. ...

@#66 ... I thought the original "MSN" was ABC, CBS, and NBC. ie the broadcast networks...

yeah, but it seems to have expanded beyond that.

And now, with the MAGA takeover of CBS, what would Mr Cronkite say?

@#10 ... We conquered measles. It came into America from overseas, when the borders where opened. That's not coincidence. ...

The coincidence in this is the lower vaccination rates of Americans.

If Americans were vaccinated, would this be something we are discussing?

My answer is, no.

But there has been an anti-vax movement in the United States that has caused an unwarranted susceptibility to measles.

Whether the cause of an outbreak is from our southern border, from someone returing from a trip to Europe or wherever.

The results are the same.

@#8 ... "Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the NFL will not be "able to sleep at night" over its decision to pick Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny as the 2026 halftime performer.

"Well, they suck, and we'll win, and God will bless us, and we'll stand and be proud of ourselves at the end of the day, and they won't be able to sleep at night because they don't know what they believe, and they're so weak, we'll fix it," Noem told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson on Friday." ...

The NFL is in it for the money.

Bad Bunny is a very popular artist.

Which is likely why the NFL chose him.

What does the Trump administration have against Capitalism?

@#62 ... I'm speculating here but I'd say it's anything except a short list of right leaning websites, pundits, syndicated talk show hosts, etc. ...

Good.

Finally, we're getting somewhere.

So you seem to define MSM as all the media that may not say what MAGA wants to hear?

@#63 ... That's the MSM. Nothing but woke lies. ...

So, you seem to attribute what the NY Times says to MSM?

What about what the uber-popular FoxNews says?

Is that also considered to be MSM?

@#15 ... Yeah, the absence of the apparent Jeff alias ...

Those various aliases seem to be starting to show up ...

@#8 ... Measles has been spreading from the Southern border up. ...

If that is the case, why is measles even spreading into the general population?

If the general population were properly vaccinated, would it spread among them?

Which goes back to my #7 comment ...

... In these cases, ignorance seems to be measles. ...

@#14 ... Trumpers hiding from this thread ...

Yeah, the absence of the apparent Jeff alias seems to be most pronounced this evening. Good to see that I may not be the only one who noticed that absence.

Does it coincide with Pres Trump's lack of public appearances since last Tuesday?

Wish I knew.

It might be interesting to see the explanation for their possible eventual return?

@#7

Do try to make sense.

@#6 ... Ignorance is bliss I guess. ...

In these cases, ignorance seems to be measles.

Jus' sayin'

@#5

Seems that way.

@#57 .. Either I will consider you a liar or retarded. ...

So, resorting to degradation instead of answering a simple question.

Let me ask it once again ...

What, specifically, is the definition of MSM?

@55 ... I answered that question, you old fool. ...

Your current alias did not answer my question.

As I noted, it provided a political opinion, and not a definition.

And now it seems to resort to ageism attacks in a lame attempt to justify it's posts.

So sad.

But just more of the apparent usual trolling of your current alias for replies.

I thought I saw Pres Trump telling Israel to stop bombing Gaza.

@#2 ... #1 Illegal immigration happened. 20 million un-vetted diseased third worlders. ...

If that were even the case, then I would have to ask, why didn't the vaccination protection in the US reduce the occurrence and severity of the current measles cases here in the US?

Asked differently, what else yer got besides a lame deflection attempt?

More from the cited article ...

... An FBI raid revealed 57 victims of forced labor living in cramped quarters at a lavish Florida mansion connected to the leaders of a church, federal officials say.

The raid, which targeted a Tampa mansion where one of the leaders lived, was carried out in August, but recently filed court records brought new details to light, including the scale of the organization's alleged illegal operations, WTVT reported.

David Taylor, 53, and Michelle Brannon, 56, are accused of running a forced labor and money laundering scheme through their church, Kingdom of God Global Church, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The church is headquartered in Michigan.

Attorney information for Taylor and Brannon wasn't available as of Oct. 2. Taylor, who calls himself "Apostle," and Brannon, his "executive director," established call centers across the country, staffed by followers working long hours with no pay, tasked with collecting donations, officials said.

Officials say they "compelled their victims to work at their call centers and to work for Taylor as his armor bearers.'"

"Armor bearers were Taylor's personal servants who fulfilled Taylor's demands around the clock. Taylor and Brannon controlled every aspect of the daily living of their victims," federal investigators say.

They are not allowed to go anywhere without permission, and they sleep in the facilities where they work or in a "ministry' house," officials said. ...

@#48 ... Media not to be trusted. Completely in the bag for the democrats ...

That's not a definition, it is an opinion.

Do try harder.

What is the definition of MSM, as used by MAGA?

If it cannot be defined, then why use it?

Another view ...

@#20

Why might have soybean sales to China plummeted?

Maybe because now China seems to be buying soybeans from Argentina, a country the Trump admin has just bailed out. While our soybean farmers suffer.

... This is next level stupid.
It is stunning. ...

Yup.

@#4 ... Not sure why anyone cares. ...

I care because I do not think it is appropriate for any person, much less a politician (regardless of party), to advocate violence against another person.
