oligarchy=bad. agree

for the record and to save the mods time, I wrote this on 12/18: 9/11 was horrible, no denying it. But in regards to our country, 1/6 was worse. We are watching the disintegration of a great nation at the hands of barbarians. This was a flash point. History has seen this play before in Rome...now care to opine on the contention that the whole thing was staged? That doesn't offend your sensibilities? partisan indeed... it's not a rare sentiment, at least among people I hang with.
-
you went to the principal? wow, I'm quaking. I said I thought 1/6 was more damaging than 9/11 for the future of the country. I also said that 9/11 was terrible. so F off. Juvenile and pedantic indeed. A supposed "Doc" should know the difference between flu and flue. But that's who most of you MAGAs are.

It seems we share something: a fondness for talking heads. It dates you. Saw them in 1979 in a college gym with 500 others. Had never heard of them. Fan ever since. it’s great that the bill was passed but things are not and will not be the same. I thought most MAGAs voted explicitly for change. They’re going to get it. Trump wanted a shutdown. He’s going to get what he wants more often than not.
-
Way to miss the point: the more things change, the more things stay the same.

You mean like the “investor class?” Trump sure has us investors by the short and curlies. And the plebs are going to make out like bandits! And who are state leaches? You mean people cashing in on government aid programs? More MAGAs doing that than Ds. Look at the election demographics…

What a load of crap. There was abundant coordination. It’s well documented but you choose to ignore it. Telling that you call the fake electors scheme a conspiracy. Yet you support a man who engaged in a conspiracy against his own country and therefore his own people. How do you rationalize that? Flue is what you open in a fireplace btw

your hope and $2.19 will get you a cup of coffee at McDonalds. He's already signaled his priorities and you are not one.

Far right billionaires are great. It's only progressive billionaires that are a problem...

clear as mud...MAGA logic.

say what? what did they want? you seem to be saying "anything but the "establishment". that's a pretty low bar. Think of the historical figures who accomplished overturning the establishment: Lenin, Mao, Castro, Hitler, Mussolini etc. Be careful what you ask for. Your confidence in reigning in trump is misplaced.
-
and you're calling me naive? trump has a strangle hold on the R party. Almost all other R leaders have bent a knee. Those that haven't were primaried or retired. Yet you think you ar going to hold him to account. Forgive me while I chuckle about you showing him the light should he go astray. In that instance you can take solace in the fact that he's 78, obese and deconditioned. I do.

yes, draining the swamp!!! Apparently, Musk is in agreement. raising the debt ceiling is not gov't efficiency and the debt is not a psychological issue as trump claims. Our huge interest payments are proof enough.
-
I thought covid was nothing worse than the flu...It was raging by the time Biden took over. You can't put the genie back in the bottle. trump wanted pence to refuse to certify the election. At least you're cognizant of that. Someone has come forward, however and he was trump's attorney. Many other henchmen are now also felons: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/20/1207417000/kenneth-chesebro-guilty-plea-georgia.

A machine at a gym. my fav aerobic exercise. but we do have a TVA lake that would be suitable. remember the TVA, when govt saved millions from starvation during the depression. most of the descendants of those people have forgotten... yes, wouldn't want to interrupt a maga circle jerk. it's ok. we don't have any magas at our weekly bookclub either...

Is there a question here? The reason 1/6 is worse is that it came from within and there are many American disenfranchised citizens who sympathize with the treasonous act. If you think I’m alone in this mindset, go to a faculty lounge or the sub shop in the Charlottesville Wegmans. Look for someone wearing a “political science” hoodie.
-
C’mon. People of what profession or career spend time in a faculty lounge? You have used the word disparage but until now not the word “atmosphere “ to describe them. Why be disingenuous? Embrace your opinions, foul as they maybe. and yes, I’ve agreed it’s a lovely Wegmans full of mostly interesting people.
