OK, I'll hold my snark. I'll wait for something newsworthy to post next (from anywhere in the world).
Okay, so.....where's the controversial stuff? What you've posted so far only confirms what we already knew....
Vote Blue, no matter who.
Christopher: be outraged all you want, throw your temper tantrum, and watch this country go from very messed up to a fourth relight full-on Nazi regime. We can WORK with very messed up. YOU want us to slide into pure fascism? Wake up from your self-righteousness, unless you happen to come from Krypton and can actually DO something.
Michael: your proposal means they keep putting the boogie man up to scare us into the lesser evil thereby perpetuating the cycle of ‘we’re screwed’. And then will repeat this nonsense again. In fact, if you get your way, how about we meet here again 4 yrs from now to discuss this same predicament.
Christopher: this time it's different. That you can't see that scares the s**t out of me. It indicates how out of touch progressives as a whole might be. I feel like James Kirk in 'A Private Little War' now. Sometimes bad choices are all that keeps us going. Hands in the air means the end.
Michael: yep, it’s different because we understand what’s going on this time around. We see what they’re doing and if we follow along, it means they can continue to do it again and again. So your plan is to let them, fight here and there, then let them again. So what’s happens. We already are a plutocracy yet no one care. Now we’re slipping into a fascist state and now ppl want to fight. So they put up a choice of plutocracy, and because it’s a little better, y’all jump to it. Never mind that we can go for good rather than lesser evil. Hence they’ll keep sliding slowly to the right. And ppl like you will keep slighting those wanting good over both evils, lesser or otherwise.
Christopher: let me rethink what you are saying here... they (both parties) PICKED a Mein Kamph-quoting son of a Nazi sympathizer and maneuvered him into being POTUS to scare us into complacency with more Authoritarian Dems & somewhat less offensive Reps that both work for the rich? Is this an accurate take on your message here? Seriously, I'm not trying to be dense- I want to be enlightened if I need to be. Are we being played in a grand, fully orchestrated decades-long game??
4EVERBONDED WILL RETURN in 'SPLAIN ANOTHER DAY
;)
I have understood that from just watching front pages of various newspapers for two years.
So yes: Vote Democrat, down the line. We must have a clearing out and a fresh start. We can deal with whatever issues arise AFTER we make these changes. It is up to voters, after all.
The "swamp" is definitely Trump and everybody he has chosen for his administration. You couldn't ask for a more corrupt, money laundering, mob-connected, lying, cheating, grifting, greedy though already wealthy bunch of swamp creatures. All out for themselves alone. We can all laugh when this is over. Completely over. I mean, they aren't hiding it any more .. white supremists on board STILL (notably Miller) and more of them also visiting in the oval office (before, yes, but also recently QAnon conspiracy flake meister). And indeed as regards his appointments and nominees, Trump was never hiding it. They ARE the rankest, foulist swamp to ever govern America.
Please Florida, please! Come to your senses and don't elect another racist! Such a statement should automatically disqualify any candidate!
Chinatown quote? Well played, sir!
Just to note that DeSantis was outed as admin/moderator for a very facist facebook page. He quit it yesterday after that made headlines.
Anyway, hoping for some other world events to happen, preferably positive, that I can post. We need to stay aware and informed, but all of us need a break, too.
The most central question to ask here is:
How can it possibly still be as high as 36%? It has basically been proven that the president has taken part in illegal activity and lied about it repeatedly to cover it up for god´s sake!
I know. But that's the thing... Does really his loyal fanbase make up as much as 36% of the American population? And how can only 53% be dissatisfied with the presidency? The numbers are crazy no matter how you look at them.
There's a variety of factors at work here. One of them is the "news as entertainment" phenomenon. This allows Fox Faux News to spin facts into a whole new realm of unreality, and people who are wanting to get their news from a certain perspective are free to do so. We also suffering from a "politics as sporting events" viewpoint. My team is my team, right or wrong, and I'm going to root for my team whether they're great this year or not. "Wait 'til next year!"
What s the diference? Sorry to hear it.
Yes, it's fascinating that 'team mentality' they have. It is only a political party for god's sake. Not a. religious cult!
Voting in Nov. is what matters. It matters critically for my country. Trump is now saying he "may get involved " if he "has to" to root out the FBI, Dept. of Justice, etc. He is stepping as close as he can to abusing his legal authorization. It will heat up worse, for sure, before these mid-term elections. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/08/31/trumps-latest-rally-rant-is-much-more-alarming-and-dangerous-than-usual/?utm_term=.fce2b105b6f5
To be clear, Trump has been in the past, and is ratcheting up again, rhetoric inciting violence.
From that article:
“Today’s Democrat Party is held hostage by left-wing haters, angry mobs, deep-state radicals, establishment cronies and their fake-news allies,” Trump railed. “Our biggest obstacle and their greatest ally actually is the media.”
In case there is any doubt about what Trump meant by the “deep state” that is supposedly allied with the news media, Trump also lashed out at the FBI and the Justice Department, claiming that “people are angry” and threatening to personally “get involved.”
Robert D. Chain, who was arrested this week for allegedly threatening to murder journalists at the Boston Globe while mimicking Trump’s language, also connected Mueller’s investigation to the media. “You’re the enemy of the people, and we’re going to kill every f–––ing one of you,” Chain snarled into one employee’s voicemail, according to FBI documents. “Why don’t you call Mueller, maybe he can help you out.”
Trump surely knew about this arrest when he repeated his attacks on the news media Thursday night — and when he connected the media to the Mueller investigation as part of a grand conspiracy against him and his voters.

I am sorry about the stabbings in Amsterdam, @CommanderRoss. I'm glad you were not near the attack.
