Decent, intelligent Americans understand that the two-party system is morally bankrupt. Take a look at yourself for a change, instead of moaning about the ignorance of those you disagree with.

That's probably half the people that voted for him, if not more.

Is Zio-Christianity less dystopian?
We're fucked either way. Portugal never looked so good.

I just got back from a cabinet shop that someone recommended to me. The old man has been making cabinets locally for 50 years, is a veteran and had Trump signs in front of his shop. I wouldn't call him a dumb shitty American anymore than the other guy down the road with Harris signs. I just want white oak cabinets and no one has them. I'll buy them from anyone and don't give a fuck who they voted for.

Lucky me I ‘spose. Wouldn’t be feeling so lucky if I were a victim of the “genocide” in Gaza or a Ukrainian or an immigrant to the U.S. (temporary or working agriculture for cheap) or an employee of the DOJ or many military leaders or Iran or free media or protesters against the war in the Middle East or if I were concerned about climate change or the 2028 election or…I’ll sleep on the rest.
The war on misinformation is a war on freedom of speech. America is no stranger to fascism. With Trump it will be fascism without the rainbows and unicorns.
U baffle me (cuz ur never direct). Are you saying that facism is BETTER in some way absent the rainbows and unicorns? Are you HAPPY Trump was elected?
Those are called “direct questions” BTW. I know it’s a foreign concept to u but I think u *might* be teachable.
What have I said that leaves you thinking I'm OK with fascism?
Didn't you say you support a strong military to defend American interests abroad? Could that be interpreted as being comfortable with fascism?
Anyway, here's my direct answer: I support the separation of church and state, but I am far more concerned about the lack of separation between corporation and state.
I support a strong military. 100%. I don’t always support how and when we involve ourselves militarily abroad.
I agree with u about the separation of corporation and state (and church and state). Campaign.finance.reform. I’m afraid it’s never going to happen. We’re fucked.

You think that's a bad thing? He said he wasn't going to mess with the vaccines, the only thing he wants to do is make food bland again. We have all kinds of chemicals in our food that other countries have banned.

Great thing if it comes to fruition. Need Trump to be less crazy talk and bullshit and more action. Bet my bottom dollar if it doesn't happen Trump will blame everybody but himself.

He needs RFK to kick his fat ass into shape.

Any efforts he makes to affect large corporations and the food they produce will leave Donald in a deep conundrum. Going back to what RC said about the influence of corporations and state, I’m highly skeptical about how much real leeway he’ll get to force companies to change the ingredients they put in foods. Somebody is going to get pissed and I don’t see Trump comfortable with fast food chains and Kraft and other major food suppliers sitting back while their stocks tumble.
I predict a lot of turnover (again) in the second Trump administration. Even when he *might* have good intentions, he’s either naive or he won’t have the stomach to follow through on them. We’ll see. I think a “health czar” and yeah, someone cracking down on the obesity epidemic in America and nasty shit in our food is a good idea but I don’t think it will happen with a whip.
Same with deportations. It’s like…Trump will over promise and under deliver (so it’s all just bullshit). He can only deport so many people w/out causing havoc to many industries and the economy (and I’m sure he knows that) but he campaigned on deporting upwards of 20 million people. Stupid.
Be a realist.

My sister is watching RFK stuff right now, she isn't happy. She is a nutritionist.
