We should make all our decisions around what Trump says, lol.
Run away from the topic. Run now!

I don't agree, I guess. I've seen a large chunk of the country openly label themselves as being fascist (through opposing "antifa"). I don't think the labels are as important as "conventional wisdom" would dictate.
I don't think left forces were strong enough in this country to successfully challenge the DNC, although they got closer than in 2016. I think that will come at some point.
Is it truly the case that it is ok in the U.S. for people to openly run around identifying themselves as fascists, but it's not ok for socialists to do that? If that were so, Bernie would have not done as well as he did.
Labels are fundamentally just the expression of the general panic mode that is all over the nation. This is why for me seem smart to ignore that game and clearly present something of value.
Bernie did well, but obviously not well enough. What wasn't set in the stone in my book, but some of the approaches were simply bad. It is a shame and that is kinda the point, what massive misses shouldn't happen again.
Just the other day I said exactly this. "If I were Jeff Bezos for one day, I'd just pay everyone's rent, so 6 million wouldn't be homeless in the middle of this winter. I would spend the whole day giving his money away. Why doesn't he do this? That would be more fun than a triple scoop ice cream cone? Rich people have no idea how to have real fun."Let's just bail out the whole fucking world. Peace. Love. Dope. Any other shit you want to focus on from the past, put it in a memo.
You've run away from my counterarguments so many times I think it's pretty clear from reading this who actually has a leg to stand on.
Someone like Trump is not exclusive to any particular form of government; there always have been and always shall be would be exploitative authoritarians lurking in the wings ready to heh "capitalize" on any situation where there is power or profit to be made; throwing the rest of their country under the bus, that's just the cost of doing business... Trump has not been alone in his "presidency". He's surrounded by smiling ghouls on both sides who seemingly neither checked nor balanced him...

He'll put you on ignore for good soon too.
Jag is one of those funny characters on the forum, observing him for the longest time it seems that he doesnt really visit or post for interaction with others at all.
Its got that kind of blog quality, a bit like Mole, although the content is pretty different the form or style is pretty similar. I've wondered if its got to do with age, demographic, the time or way they started to use the internet etc.
Nope.
The danger for the world is the collapse the Reserve Currency of the World, the USA dollar.
As the Reserve Currency collapses the standard of living in the USA will fall precipitately, and this in a country awash with guns. And as a result the USA will reach for the gun, and the biggest gun is the USA military, the most powerful military in the world.
As the Reserve Currency of the World, the US dollar, collapses the USA will have no alternative but to go to war.
It seems to be the current trajectory, yes.
Maybe they view it more like writing a book and as a consequence don't expect a change? That would be ironic for [MENTION=3325]Mole[/MENTION], though, given how the change from the individual printed word to the tribal electronic screen is one of his favorite topics.
Came here to post this, actually. The length at which Republicans will go to coddle the fragile ego of Donald Trump while courting his base in the process is unreal. In 2016 I knew we were in for a wild ride but never in a million years would I have seen this coming. What comes next, the Texit movement?
In my opinion, America was never great - or perhaps it used to be great, but it lost that greatness the moment colonists killed off and pushed out the Natives, the moment they decided that Black people had no rights as equals and were brought in as slaves, the moment they decided that only rich white straight cisgender Anglo-Saxon men could have access to the highest positions in the workplace and government, along with access to the best healthcare and education.
We may have come a long way in improving conditions for minorities, but this is still just the beginning.
