Re 34

Agreed

So.. when there is nothing left but a pile of rubble THEN there will be peace!

And OneNut will be bragging about Trumpy's ability to "negotiate" the peace.

"Well, I'll take a look at it. I'll speak to the DOJ," Trump said. "I wouldn't consider it or not consider " I don't know anything about it. I will speak to the DOJ."

Right there is our problem. While it's an obvious lie that Trumpy "knows nothing about it" Trumpy should not be "speaking to the DOJ" about anything.

This is how far off the democratic rails we have gone when at remark such as this is being accepted as "normal" and not even questioned anymore.

He probably is, but I don't see why you would be against a peace agreement he negotiated.

#32 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

I am not against peace.

I am against Trumpy's constant lies.

Can you be specific? Which "negotiation" should I be proud of?

And why?

"The big question is how long will the peace last?"

The actual question is, when will it start? When Trump Gaza Plaza opens?

#29 | POSTED BY REDIAL

Trumpy is an egomaniac and a prolific liar. I believe absolutely nothing he says without verifications from multiple reliable sources.

In other words ... I'll believe it when I see it.

Fingers crossed for you and California, DB.

You're getting the posts mixed up.

My "fear mongering" comment was in response to the accusation the US will not be democracy when Trump is done.

I said nothing about the economy.

#135 | POSTED BY BILLJOHNSON

Perhaps. But I was responding to:

And even still the US will survive.

Just your usual stupid fear mongering.
#124 | POSTED BY BILLJOHNSON

If the government collapses (or is purposely crippled or destroyed) and the economy is crippled there is no guarantee that "the U.S. will survive" it intact.

Maybe you should think about that. Or ask Mecha Hitler.

I suspect Mexico will enjoy a surge in Canadian tourism, as the US becomes flyover country.

#10 | POSTED BY WHATSLEFT

I suspect Trumpy will then have tantrum and force Canadians to fly around America's airspace.

a subject in which you are not an expert

In which subject are you an expert?

#81 | POSTED BY ZED

Trolling!

Obviously.

Goebbels rant to the Memphis police:

"The gangbangers that you deal with, they think that they're ruthless, they have no idea how ruthless we are," Miller added.

"They think they're tough, they have no idea how tough we are. They think that they're hardcore, we are so much more hardcore than they are, and we have the entire weight of the United States government behind us. What do they have? They have nothing behind them. So we are gonna win, they're gonna lose."

Later ... Daring Bad Bunny, Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem said that ICE officers will be "all over the Super Bowl.

"I have the responsibility to make sure everybody who goes to the Super Bowl has the opportunity to enjoy it and to leave safely. That's what America's about," Noem told Benny Johnson on The Benny Show. "We'll be all over that place."

Oh yeah. We gonna have some facist FAFO fun!

Almost but not quite.

Just another rationalization for death and destruction.

#22 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

No one is "rationalizing" anything. It's just what happened.

Try reading our history you farging icehole.

In the 70s they purposely bombed buildings at night and when they were empty.

They targeted property rather than people to gain media attention and influence public opinion. And occasionally they screwed up due to low technical skills and there were some unintended deaths.

This contrasts with later extremist groups and mass shooters (the majority of whom now are rightwing fanatics and zealots) who seek to inflict maximum casualties.

Like Timothy McVey who bombed a federal building in Oklahoma while the day care center was full of children.

Just your usual stupid fear mongering.

The state of Virginia is already entering a recession. Dozens of other states are teetering on the edge.

You should ask Mecha Hitler what will happen if the president fires (or even attempts to fire as he has threatened) millions of federal workers all at once.

Then ask "them" what would happen if the federal government stays shut indefinitely and what that really means.

Then get back to us.

Let's just shut down the Federal government permanently.

Not sure we can afford it but sure! Why not? It will be great for Trumpy's legacy right? Another "company" bankrupted by Trumpy.

AI Overview

According to a January 2019 report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the 35-day government shutdown from December 2018 to January 2019 cost the U.S. economy an estimated $11 billion. The CBO also estimated that approximately $3 billion of that total was a permanent loss to the economy.

Look, H.P. Lovecraft was right:

H.P. Lovecraft was a well known racist.

If you didn't realize that then you are probably one too.

Ok. In your case it's certain.

While I personally loved his imaginative cosmic horror.

His themes of fear and disgust toward other races and cultures and his fear of diversity made me gag.

Much like many of your posts.

I'll bet it would work a lot better and be a lot cheaper if Republicans were not constantly trying to undermine and destroy it.

But the fact is it is still infinitely better and infinitely cheaper than the nonexistent republican healthcare plan they have been promising will be ready "in a week" for over a decade.

Got my example ballot. There is only one proposition to vote on.

Prop 50.

To me it's not a difficult choice at all.

But we will soon see what Californians decide.

Ok. She's in contempt. Now what?

Not just Trump's followers, but also the people who have been trained to react to him on command.

Who is being"trained"? How are they being "trained"?

I am appalled and react instinctively when i see my leaders talking and acting like Nazis.

No one is commanding me to do so except my own Higher Power.

In one 18-month period in the early 1970s, there were 2,500 domestic bombings in American.

#8 | POSTED BY ONEIRONAUT

Yes. But did you know the bombings we're NOT intended to kill Americans.

And less people died than during that 18 month period of bombings due to those bombs than were killed or injured in last weekends mass shootings in America's "War Ravaged Cities" with guns?

Antifa has been given control of the streets ...

So a "political movement" or ideology has been given control of the streets?

Antifa (/ ... ntif', ... ntif'/) is a left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement. It is sometimes described as a highly decentralized array of autonomous groups in the United States.

~i>I wonder how much these individuals are spending on pricy phone plans, streaming and cable TV packages, liquor and recreational drug usage, etc

No. No you don't. You could care less why poor people struggle.

People are poor due to a complex combination of structural, systemic, and personal factors, including low wages, lack of education and job opportunities, inadequate healthcare, unaffordable housing, and discrimination. Broader societal issues like conflict, economic instability, poor governance, and climate change also trap individuals and communities in cycles of poverty by destroying livelihoods and limiting access to resources.

You could care less about any of that.

And BTW- sedating yourself to kill the pain of your suffering on this planet is not really "recreational".

It's like the Incompetent Peanut Farmer's Iran debacle never happened.

It's foolish to try and fly in a Haboob.

I wasn't happy to hear that either but as I recall Jimmy was not the pilot on that mission and while he may have approved of the mission as CIC he did not make them go into hostile territory essentially unarmed. To me whomever planned and commanded that mission and didn't take into account the weather (a haboob) and make adjustments (adapt and overcome) was the reason it failed. And he failed the president and America and the hostages.

It was clearly Trumpy's choice to steal from the poor to give to the rich.

And brag about it ad nauseum.

See - already extended and scheduled to expire - and that is not Trumps doing.
#34 | POSTED BY MSGT

It was Trumpy's signature "Big Beautiful Bill".

And instead of helping Americans struggling with the rising costs of healthcare Trumpy chose to give the ultra rich a tax cut.

See? It was clearly Trumpy's choice to steal from the poor to give to the rich.
