But because its Trump, they'll all mostly just shrug and move past it. Considering the consequences which are all but certain, who among them is gonna bring it up to the others? You have no idea whose side anyone is truly on, so nobody's going to test that proposition, are they? Particularly given that there are certainly wolves in sheep's clothing among them. 1 Quote
smr-nj Posted September 30 Posted September 30 The military must be apolitical. Has to be. Trump is a dictator, who views the military as HIS weapon to exact revenge. And Hegseth should be dealt with. His newest demands are ridiculous. Somebody with balls needs to tell him. 1 Quote

Which would put it near Michigan and Wacker. It’s been way too long since I’ve been in that area. My first job in Chicago was on the other side of the bridge. The office was a closet in what we called the Paul Harvey building At the start of the clip you can see the parking levels of one of the Marina Towers on the right.

Tigerbomb13 Posted September 30 Posted September 30 So he’s really going to use the military on his own citizens? Lovely. Quote

I miss the days ten or so years ago when I said Trump would do this kind of thing if he got elected and i was castigated for engaging in “Alarmist Non-sense.” Can we please go back to those days so I can have a breather from this new reality?

CMRivdogs Posted October 1 Posted October 1 I love the analogy Animal Farm definately applies to our current situation . https://www.thebulwark.com/p/animal-farm-never-gets-old-george-orwell-80-anniversary?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=The%2BBulwark&utm_campaign=publer Quote
Tigerbomb13 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 A good ole fashioned Hatch Act violation when you go to the HUD website. Not that anyone cares about this stuff anymore. Quote

But I truly think we are in for dark times that may not end in our lifetime. This guy is a monster and his voters are cultists who will love him no matter what. Just like those Germans that still loved Hitler after WWII was over. Even after all the destruction he brought. Trumpers are a lost cause. Even after Trump croaks, others that are much smarter than him will continue this new fascism period. Right now in the world, there is no one that will stop the bad people from doing the things they want to do. The America that I love is on the verge of falling. If not already fallen.

Media reform is step one. People have to demand it. I can't be optimistic about any of the steps. People in the thrall of this autocratic moment are pretty steeped in it. In a normal political environment the Christians would see that Trump meets all the check boxes for the anti-Christ. 1 Quote

The "Christian Church" as a whole in the US is lost. The remnants that reject its current state are even seeking to abandon the term "Christian" as their identifier altogether as hopelessly polluted and are looking for a reformulation of what to call themselves.

However, my feeling is the NFL and its subsidiaries are private companies and we as private citizen/consumers have a choice (for now) whether or not to watch the halftime show. No citizens or organizations have the right arbitrarily ban such things. Quote
HighOPS Posted October 2 Posted October 2 If Kavanaugh is delayed he misses the appetizer at his dinner party. Or maybe he only had four beers instead of five. He can't or won't empathize with those who might lose a job or a day's pay that is needed to feed a family. Of course, also **** his empathy. He could also just read the 4th Amendment. Quote
pfife Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Bad Bunny is the most streamed artist in the world. Seems like a good reason to select him to perform at the super bowl 1 Quote
