Tom...
Every European I know who wants to do a big trip to the US includes (for some reason) Miami and LV on their list of cities to visit. I suspect this is showing the loss of international tourism.
Been going this way for decades...but Dobbs more recently.

The Bible suggests exactly that.
But in fairness, every self-described atheist and critic of Christianity has also missed the message. So you and they are in good company...
Yes. That is why I believe the Bible describes the True Path as being a narrow one.
So is fascism worse than abortion...is that the premise of your question?
Pete
If you read the bible without also studying the historical and philosophical forces that influenced it and come to any conclusion, you are a fool.
Ultimately, its nihilism. Fascism is nihilist. Rejection of education and experts is nihilist. Their version of christianity has morphed into a nihilistic death cult. Its all nihilism.
To them, it meant the same thing. Both were done to trigger a reaction.
Most Americans only know that college football starts this weekend. They could give a shit about the rest of it.
Thats the way to start. Interstate compacts, partnerships, etc. Freeze out the morons and let them stew in their own juices. Blue America has been saving Red America from itself for 50 years. Time to right the scales.
Yeah. We know.
There is no personal profit in that.

The media is in it for the money...of course they put that child on. Good for eyeballs on advertising.
Fired by whom?

@boardgamegeek.com Great story about how school bans on phones are getting kids to play analog board games! wapo.st/4lLMnS0
Russ Feingold was the only Senator to vote against it. Took a lot of courage in that environment to vote the right way.
1. Agree it should be a bigger story 2. A lot of people would like a dictator
Thats the key to propaganda…endless and consistent repetition of the message.
Some might call it AntiChrist-ianity.
Well, enjoy fascism!
It will be applied to deficit reduction.
And who will stop them?
100%
They cant complain about not wanting to vote for dusty ass boomers if young people dont run for elected office themselves.
Names should be named.
Authoritarians dont care about public opinion.
Self reflection is not Americans’ strong suit.
That may be the most benign description of what is happening ive ever read.
Unless he is willing to send his NG troops into real battle in the streets of Chicago, this is a hollow threat.
The mainstream media is corporate media. It shouldn’t be a surprise at all.
Hes a high priest of the cult.
For markets...
Thanks. I thought it was funny.
Won't. He knows better. But CNBC is for sale, so time to tow the line for shareholder value.
Its called being in a cult.
That why its a cult.
American democracy failed because democracies always fail. For the same reason…factionalism, corruption, ignorance & massive inequality. The only reason we thought America was immune was because of a foolish sense of exceptionalism. Were learning the hard way now - the US is extraordinarily normal.
Because that's what it means to be in a cult.
In fairness, the only party that tried to do anything about immigration, citizenship, & security were the Democrats. They neither held the margins in the House or Senate to pass anything over a filibuster. Likewise, Trump & Rs even spiked their own Lankford bill to keep the issue alive in 2024...
Destroying DC is part of the plan.
Thats how cults work.

Pregnant person, food insecurity, BIPOC…all well-intentioned language barriers that separate average people & common sense from solutions to problems. Talk normally about problems & normal people will help you solve them. Talk weirdly about it & normal people will shake their heads & walk away.
We should acknowledge (1) Obama/Biden did enforce the border, (2) this is largely a manufactured crisis (caravans, eating pets) intended to play on white paranoia & xenophobia, & (3) many US industries entice immigrants to profit off exploitable labor. Ds are only guilty of not exploiting the issue.

She can make more money as a sellout.
I guess UCLA didn't teach a class on how bad it is to alienate one of your core client bases.
Cool. But authoritarians dont care about public opinion.
Hahaha
He said he was going to raise tariffs. Tariffs are taxes, so yes, I would have chosen him. Only a moron an ignoramus or a liar wouldn't have.
Let's be smart here instead of accepting the Administrations framing, eh? If they are posting the military in these areas, its to intimidate the local population. You can say it...its OK.
The shittiest timeline.
"In fairness, they do this on a lot of planets..."
Operation Mincemeat
Thats agnosticism, not atheism.
Its coming.
Saying the quiet part out loud -- nothing but a retribution campaign against the liberals they think ruined the country. The mask comes off indeed.
Don't see how it ends in civil war when they control all of the means of government coercion and an overwhelming majority of the privately-owned weapons in the country. Sounds like straight up one-party state oppression in America's future.
From the locations they are targeting, its clear this is about intimidating the liberal residents of the city. This is the product of decades of Democrats treating Rs as political opponents while Rs believing that Democrats were enemies of America. This is how it was always destined to turn out.
Don't worry Carl. Its not really bread, its bread-shaped chemicals.

Thats the project…politicize everything. Once every topic comes under the umbrella of politics it can be controlled. Its how all authoritarian societies start and build their power.
That's the start of it. Contraception? Mixed race marriage? They've already told us its coming. Anyone not preparing for it is living with their head in the sand.
Greg Ip has to justify in his mind the contribution he has made to get us to this point. So of course he sells it this way...
Saw him live last year...still great! See him if you can!
What happens when the morons in the back of the classroom grow up and get to vote.
I just feels it.
