That’s the probably the angle.

“His do we get entice people who hate cruise ships to get on a cruise ship?”

“Point out that, unlike democracy, it’s a boat that Trump can’t sink?”

“Hmm… you may be on to something…”

Almost ensures that Trump will try to stay more than four years—if he even lives that long. But, yeah, from the White House yo prison would be ok with me.

Isn’t it illegal to use the military internally? The National Guard, maybe. But, they answer to the state government.

He’ll have pushback if not outright mutiny from the military if he tries to use them against civilians, citizens or not.

Don’t over think it. You’re going for a walk and the other person is going on the same walk. Talk about your experience on the walk, ask about theirs. Let conversation happen.

If you’re going to be attracted to this person, you’ll know.

It’s possible that you’re just asexual like 1 out of every 100 people. It’s possible that there are circumstances of your past that contribute to this and your social anxiety. A therapist should be able to help sort that out.

Sets an example for others, especially the younger generation. Reinforces that living up to a principle can benefit everyone. Puts ethics above selfishness, greed, hate.

Humans change their behavior based on what they see other humans doing. A person seeing most people or people of influence acting primarily in self-interest makes them that person more likely to do the same.

And, no, Libertarians, everyone acting in self-interest does not lead to better outcomes. That’s a childless myth.

No, keep it just crazy enough but not evil and sprinkle in truth and progressive revolutionary propaganda.

Sounds like D-Link is telling people to buy Synology.

Thanks.

Institute for Middle East Understanding is a pro- Palestine organization. While I’m sympathetic to their cause, I kind of doubt the accuracy of this poll.

Even so, this was a poll of Dems and Independents only. It doesn’t really support the ideas that she would have won PA or AZ with this position.

What’s the source for those stats?

He had pretty much that his first two years. Maybe not the judicial branch, totally. But, he had both chambers of congress. They could have done a lot but didn’t because of incompetence, a little dissent and fear of electoral reprisals.

Now, they’re more organized and possibly more unified behind the rat-fucking that’s planned.

If they move too fast they’ll lose the House in two years. If they slow boil, we’ll all be cooked before we know it.

I think making them financially and emotionally comfortable. Reduce the wealth gap and convince them that government is advocating for them in concrete ways.

This would be real change and I’m not sure many places in the USA—especially where it’s most needed—are capable of making that change.

Certainly, Trump and his ilk are working to do the opposite while waving panaceas in their faces.

Sometimes, I think Democrats and the left get too caught up in the big picture issues and ignore the ground work that’s needed. They’re trying to grow a forest without clearing the rocks and weeds. You don’t combat transphobia, misogyny and racism just by preaching the virtues of inclusivity. You have to address the insecurities that lead to that kind of hate. That means helping the despicable people and I can’t blame anyone for not wanting to help them. But, that puts us in a vicious circle.

I don’t think change will ever come from the top. It’s got to start very local. Think about conservative talk radio and how influential that is/was. It was someone talking directly to them even if it was a syndicated show it was on a local AM station. They sowed the fear and anxiety that lead us here. The Dems/liberal/left still seems to mostly ignore that.

That was my brother-in-law. In West Virginia. Votes for Obama twice then Trump.

Near as I can tell, they want “change” and doesn’t matter much what that means. They feel powerless in the face of the “other”. The government itself is “other”. It’s who they blame for problems whether it’s taxes or complicated rules for their small business or the way “elites” get away with doing the stuff they can’t do. They have some legitimate gripes with the government and “elites”.

Obama sold “change” really well. So did Trump. It’s not the same kind of change. And, he employed many more “others”. Trump’s change is a lie but Obama’s change never materialized even though he was probably more sincere about it.

These people are dealing with feelings of frustration, inadequacy, envy and shame. They’re lashing out and their only power is their vote. Trump fed those feelings and gave them a target and convinced them that only he could help them.

I’m betting somebody has.

What are you talking about? Alcohols ability to lower inhibitions is well known and studied.

For anyone on iOS or MacOS, there’s Hide My EMail built into iCloud services. It generates an email address and automatically sets up forwarding to your iCloud account. You can add notes to remind you what it’s for. You can disable an address at anytime in the iCloud settings.

I hope all those farmers are paying attention to who won them the right to repair their tractors.

It’s got something way better: LieAr

He brought the Bible into it so I’m betting it was a misteress.

The vaccines have been tested, reviewed and used in a majority of the population and reviewed more. All the data is there. How much more do you need?

Where is any data at all showing them to be ineffective or dangerous? Where?

Do you really think government agencies are faking and hiding data so that people can be injected with vaccines that don’t work? If so, why? What evidence is there for this? What motivation could you even speculate on?

No one is claiming scientists are perfect. The reason we know there’s some bad science out there is because the process works.

You don’t get to claim scientists are lying without showing some fucking evidence.

No, you see, they’re hiding stuff. The data that’s out there doesn’t support his hallucinations so, obviously, the real data is being hidden. ^/s
