It's rare when you have Pence, John Bolton and Bernie Sanders all saying the same thing. Because it's not a close call. I just wish some actual *elected* Rs would find their manhood and say what they truly think. As we’ve seen here, the maga have no manhood. They are brainwashed cucks who foolishly believe they are on the right side of history. Edited February 19 by Hongbit 1 Quote

It's been on my mind recently, but it is honestly is incredible that a movement that has been thrown the "C" word around for much of my adult life to go after people they perceive as not being sufficiently loyal to Republicans have basically "C" worded themselves for DJT.

Even folks here have talked about being able to get things past 'his' court would probably agree that won't go. Quote

Even a lot of people who initially were against congestion pricing now say that it has worked surprisingly well-less congestion, safer streets for pedestrians, and a faster trip for those who have to drive there. I knew it was toast when the governor of NJ begged Drumpf to intervene. Quote

I have flights scheduled for March 7 and 9 to Florida. The flight in is into West Palm, which I'm pretty sure will be the last airport to lose air traffic controllers. The flight back into Chicago, though, is anyone's guess. That might be where MuskTrump goes first. Quote

If it were only the dirt or only the threats, they'd have people backed into a corner where they'd have nothing to lose, and people with nothing to lose are loose cannons who are hard to control (outside a bullet to the head, which is usually the last resort). Threaten them, yes, of course, that's a given ... but pay them well, too. Make them complicit. Keep them inside the tent pissing out instead of exiling them outside pissing in. That's how the mob gets their soldiers' hearts and souls as well, instead of just their fear. Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Can we go back to being a British colony? At least we would have the NHS and get free healthcare. Can you ****ing imagine if Barack Obama posted autocratic bull**** like this. Quote

CMRivdogs Posted February 20 Posted February 20 This should be standard opposition party argument 1 Quote
Tigerbomb13 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 I wouldn’t say anyone. It will likely work out well for Trump and his oligarchs. Quote

"conserve". These guys aren't looking to "conserve" anything as a counterbalance toward more progressive views.... they are looking to destroy. And there's absolutely no guarantee that whatever fills the vacuum of what they destroy will be any good to the average person. 2 Quote
Tigermojo Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Trump and Musk are spoiled little brats who want everything now. They don't understand these "inefficiencies" are there for a reason. Probably to prevent mistakes and potentially save lives. Those psychos only care about their own lives and their money. It's up to the rest of us to take care of everyone because these narcissists won't. It's been the same story all throughout history. Why do people fall for this over and over again? Quote

Let's stick to the real issues like letting Musk control all of the govt's finances and taking the side of an enemy in the war against an ally. Yeah, I know they won't. The media loves BS like this.
