the lyin' king's new Federal Reserve pick is in the Epstein files that's how it works, and he learned it from Putin surround yourself with people who HAVE TO be loyal to you

new angle the Lyin King was not elected because he said he would expose the Epstein files he was elected precisely because he wouldn't by the rich, powerful, and guilty who put one of their own in power

i don't like the name game, but don't you think President Grump would have been fitting and effective messaging?

the current corrupt, criminal administration was built on lies about immigration, and too many Democrats bought into it as a kind of ethical compromise to win voters. The truth is, if me and my family felt trapped in a neighboring country, i might cross that imaginary line in the sand too (and so would you. except for Mac, of course (-;) here's the rest of the truth https://www.facebook.com/reel/1224380696326661

did we think this criminal, lyin' regime was going to go quietly into election 2026 knowing how awful they're perceived and what a democratic House and Senate would mean? this 2020 Georgia election heist of ballots it's about manufacturing a case that our election system cannot be trusted and should be cancelled!

i tie-in to why the "doom scrolling" and other distractions drain your brain. It's battery needs to be plugged into source. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17ZFfWwiJ4/

thank you, BD. i know you are keenly aware of the benefits of making this site a desirable destination and you have frequently suggested ways to accomplish that.

obviously. thank you Mac, i sincerely appreciate your contributions here. but as the only moderator i need to point out that your obsession with semantics is unproductive, and distracting to each subject they are injected in. There is a grand irony in that, although i know you wouldn't want to, if i needed someone to help as a moderator, you have the other skills necessary, but you'd be a buzz kill. also, as a reminder to everyone... there is a tendency in threads to veer into other topics i don't have the time to move posts around to more appropriate threads so, please this thread is about the nazi-like gestapo methods Americans are being subjected to PLEASE MODERATE YOURSELVES BY STAYING ON TOPIC and be as concise as possible the goal is to be a quick source of frank, organized, topic-based opinion that is hard to find via traditional sources

he's not paying. We are paying the "worst of the worst"

the immediate lying by the Prez, Noem, Bondi, Miller and his other mobster, N@tzi gang members are off the charts. Congress needs to make it's long overdue move NOW!

if this image is real, you'll be seeing a lot of it. to clarify. It doesn't even matter if the gun was accessible to the victim. It's presence is only relevant if he was threatening the agents with it. and even if he did, again, the question is, why was he shot 4 time???

whether the N@zi word is used or not, America has failed in standing up to the Gestapo measures the current government has applied to fellow human beings. The murders by ICE agents in Minnesota are the inevitable result of our failure as citizens of the world to stand up against blatant discrimination and tyranny. WE HAVE BEEN COMPLICIT IN THE RISE OF AN AMERICAN FUHRER all of the signs were there. the n@zi salutes, his take of having "good genes" and using other phrases and concepts from Hitler's greatest hits. His ex-wife even claimed in during their divorce proceedings that he kept a book of Adolf's speeches in the bedroom. but here's where those on the left and in the media were most complicit... we CAVED on the immigration issue! it was an issue that continued to be unresolved AND SHOULD HAVE STAYED UNRESOLVED until the core issue of income inequality was properly addressed people are risking their lives to cross a line in the sand with their family because of the hardships on the other side of the line we CAVED believing if we let them employ their Gestapo measures on hispanic families perhaps we could win the next election with the Democrats, it's always about scoring points NEXT election more-so than doing what's right now and properly selling what's right to the public specifically 1. we could have applied pressure on businesses that hire illegals, rather than human beings 2. we could have spoken up loudly and forcefully every time a racist discriminatory word was spoken. How many times have we heard, "they're thugs, criminals, murderer's, rapists, gang members, drug dealers, and MENTALLY ILL? -- and said nothing. the stats show the opposite. They're less likely to commit crimes. The "mentally ill" part is the clincher in a pervasive presentation that amounts to Hitler's Greatest Hit of all -- THEY'RE INFERIOR now, that's happened. In Minnesota. White citizens are being beaten and killed by highly paid (by us), barely trained, masked, armed agents of the Fourth Reich!

no. well, actually, it does work pretty well on myself

it's a good question. And that's why violence is a bad idea. If protest is questionable, violence to force your ideas is obviously worse. But the question is the answer. protest is not about forcing your will on others, it should be about forcing society to QUESTION it's behavior. To examine it. The devil is in the details, and those details need to be exposed. unfortunately, sometimes, society doesn't care. people are selfish and the power mongers are manipulative. so you keep trying. Slavery, anti-civil rights, women's rights and gay rights were all examples of irrational, bad behavior but we only stuck each other with bayonet's over one of them because it crossed a threshold of inhumanity.

you realize that you are saying i "shouldn't" say what people "should or shouldn't do." It's a theme you keep circling back to, unnecessarily. We decided people "should" drive within the speed limit, and we enforce it. We say people should eat right, but don't enforce it, because we "shouldn't," so we don't. But we "should" continue to inform people what they "should" be eating for their physical and mental health. our whole society rightly evolves by telling each other what we SHOULD do. And i will continue to do exactly that. It will include me telling me what i should do, as well as you, voters and politicians. imo, you should focus your sharp mind on each new issue confronting us without wrestling with semantics shaped by, perhaps, past experiences. but it's just a suggestion. not a law. you're free to be you (the key, in my often expressed opinion, is separating from ego to connect with the real you, apart from your experiential programming)

LINDY: we've tried everything else. maybe it's time for physical action V3: what is everything we tried? protesting, boycotting. laws. regarding protests/boycotts, minimally. two NO KINGS days is the tip of the iceberg compared to what is required to get it done. do you remember the civil rights movement? sort of. i wasn't paying attention as a child there were ongoing masses in the streets. You don't get things done by skipping the protest part and moving right to the pitchfork stage. Even when you do get to the pitchfork stage the change will not happen here because we physically defeat the dictator's forces. sadly, it will happen when citizens have had enough of soldiers killing citizens and there's no more support for the dictator. We're watching it happen in Iran, and those people are used to religious dictators in power. Americans will not tolerate it for long. regarding laws, yes most are in place. they need to be enforced. example: we passed the Epstein bill, but we didn't enforce it. we need a campaign to force our politicians to enforce it (sigh) who is going to enforce these laws? the Supreme Court and Congress is his that's the biggest mistake we make. they're ALL ours! It's a matter of demanding what is ours for example, we all seem to have this reverence for the the idiots on the Supreme Court instead of giving them a mass-ive dose of our mind on the steps of their court you know what's going to happen. he'd call in the troops fine. the people can yell at the troops and if someone gets pushed you're not going to push back? no you're going to let them beat you up? yes. you'll get beaten up worse if you resist you've got no Brooklyn in you whatsoever correct. i was raised in Queens. but i grew-up in the West (hyperventilating) how can you talk about the people, when there is a solid lock of maga supporters that, apparently, support their team, right or wrong don't forget that their team is mostly one man. but yes, our friends and neighbors are the key to the whole thing. and the news that they watch. dealing effectively with both of those elements needs a full thread of its own. (sigh) i keep hearing Renee saying "i'm not mad at you" before she was slaughtered the details of that homicide have not escaped the vast majority of the public. It will become part of the regime's undoing let's leave it at that. i have to go out yes, go blow the stink off of yourself

preventing the holocaust is consistent with the approach i outlined. Hitler committed crimes before those atrocities that should have been enforced and justice should have been served before he got out of hand. Indeed laws and justice need to be enforced physically, with weapons if need be. And when Hitler's country allowed the atrocities, the world should step in with force -- weapons if all else fails. this Prez committed crimes that should have already been brought to justice, force-ably if need be. But not by you or i with pitchforks. The system is in place. It's been abused and corrupted. Civility and integrity is still valued by a significant majority. a stronger argument would be, what were our alternatives to the Civil War? I'd have to think about that... ok... the answer is the same. Don't buy products made from slave labor. Don't socialize with slavers and have dinner served by slaves at someone's house. Work to pass laws. If laws aren't obeyed, perhaps offer to buy out slaves. If money doesn't work as a last resort, pull out the pitchforks. I'm not up for the unaliving, but i'll stick one in a slavers ass, and let them sit on it for a while.
