  1. every time he says "not politically correct" or "weren't politically correct" he's dog whistling. duh, i know. but it is so blatant.
  2. Curious as to what are the terms of his return.
  3. https://truthout.org/articles/us-vetoes-gaza-ceasefire-for-sixth-time-as-death-toll-tops-65000/ So you know, maybe the US deserves to die. Like really.
  4. Sorry I feel stand up and be counted. Say Nay. Shouldn't be that hard in such a critical moment.
  5. My rep voted 'present' which is just as weak. So called opposition party. This is one of many moments Americans need someone to stand up to this shit. And they fold.
  6. Yeah, I get it. But in this country it is still somehow controversial.
  7. I really do like Oregon. In my internal debate of flee or stay Oregon really makes me want to stay. https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/09/oregon-lawmaker-leads-call-for-us-to-recognize-palestine-as-a-state.html "Oregon senator leads call for U.S. to recognize Palestine as a state"
  8. I don't have answers and I don't mean this to argue against those seeking hope with the midterms. But once fascism takes root I'm not sure its possible to vote it away.
  9. Sorry was referring to the UT story. Figure many on this board know more than I do which is nothing
  10. Also, can anyone closer to this speak about it?
  11. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/texas-a-m-president-mark-a-welsh-iii-to-step-down-after-a-week-of-turmoil-over-viral-classroom-video/ar-AA1MQI6w Texas A&M University President Mark A. Welsh III will step down on Friday after more than a week of turmoil sparked by a viral video of a student confronting a professor over gender content in a children’s literature course, the Texas A&M University System announced Thursday.
  12. Thought I had replied in this thread. Guess it was another thread. Gist of my reply was yeah I'll be here for various reasons. Let me just say I'm questioning all that.
  13. yeah, about that. If you don't have an hour to spend, well. Let's just say that won't happen.
  14. You know, this past week we saw a lot of condemnation of "political violence" from folks who can't condemn a genocide. I'm not sure I have this thought completely all down, or have matured the theory enough in my mind. But the further crushing of free speech we are seeing this week regarding Charlie Kirk feels like its a very similar thread to what happened to people criticizing the state of Israel post Oct 7. Calling out their war crimes getting one branded as anti-zionist. Especially before the starving children pictures took hold. And how mainstream US media (regardless or 'right' or 'left') chose to cover (or not cover) the genocide. How the pro-Palestinian college protestors were treated. Pretty sure people were fired for their beliefs regarding it all as well. It feels like the very same mechanism and now some of the same angry liberals are angry but failing to connect the dots. Disinformation and gaslighting are dangerous wherever they get away with it.
  15. Always has been gif. Hunter would tell you it was Nixon's election. He's probably right, given how much damage has been done since then and that Nixon was never truly punished (a theme that resonates throughout the years). Reagan another one. Bush senior did a ton of damage. Both of those were during my lifetime but I wasn't politically astute enough to know that the boiling pot was cranking up. Only in retrospect do I start to comprehend the damage done. As I became more politically aware, I was like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football. Surely everyone will see through W, right? Right? And that for me was the point of no return--W's second win. That he could be re-elected with all we knew at the time. That was my personal revelation that nothing was ever going to get better. I don't have Brisket's ledge routine, and its a good one, but I've been on the 'doomed' train for some time. For a hot minute Bernie kind of drew me back in, and then the machine reminded me that was dumb to be hopeful. I also very much remember the first time Trump was elected posting that this country will never recover. Hmm. Now just deciding (fantasizing) whether I retire to Mexico or Southeast Asia or.....
  16. Have you seen a Dodge commercial lately? Man, I keep trying to forget the gross politics whenever I watch any football. But they keep doing it. Bet the rest of this weekend's games will have it also. Wonder if the SEC does the same thing?

    good comment found on reddit. "Brazil was smart enough not to put Merrick Garland in charge of the investigation."
  18. I'm not presuming anything, but did someone hire some more etsy witches?
  19. Jerry Seinfeld says people who say 'Free Palestine' are worse than the Ku Klux Klan "I’m actually thinking the Klan is actually a little better here, because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews,’" he told a crowd at Duke University. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jerry-seinfeld-says-people-say-free-palestine-are-worse-ku-klux-klan-rcna230355
