Not until they take a solid swerve away from fascism.

That said, some of us are old enough to remember the 92 LA riots, and the civil rights riots of the 60s. And people certainly still did business with China after Tienanmen Square.

And when simple obstruction is treated as violence? We're talking about fascism, after all. How long did peaceful protest last against past fascist regimes?

That last question begs the question if you're a right-wing troll. (Pretty much answers it, imo.)

Weird how they're not going after immigrants of European background 🤔

So, the main gripe is just that it costs less. Got it. 👍

imo, they should remove the sex divisions in sports, and replace it with height/weight divisions.

Although, I'd say he's only the most recent holder of a copy. There's others.

imo, they can't delete or edit them, because someone else has a copy. 🤔

Sounds like they're covering up the fact that they got steal-fighter technology from aliens. 🤔

Hopefully they show up for Trump's birthday parade too.

Well. . . that speaks volumes about you. 🔇

It's also much easier for corporations to lobby only two parties, as opposed to three or four.
comment in response to

Part of doing that involves more than two viable parties. An interesting thing about binary choices on the human mind is that our logical capacities play less of a role than when we have three or more, and our emotions increase. An effect that has been very effectively monetized by pro-sports.

Maybe California should also consider cutting their flow of funds to the federal government.

And this is why you guys seriously need a viable alternative to the Democrats.

I cannot dispute the fight-causing value of Sorry; however Monopoly causes fights, while also providing an object lesson around end-stage capitalism 🙂

Settlers of Catan, imo. (Monopoly is the best, if you want to cause a fight. Risk is the best, if you want a game you'll probably never finish.)

Again trade; the US needs South Asia. Like I said before, wealth is his god. Look how friendly he is with the Saudis, Qataris, Israelis, India, etc; wealthy authoritarians. If you got the coin, and play his game, you're in. idk if race matters all that much to him when the coin is in front.

Just wait until he finds out how earthquakes occur much more frequently along certain geological lines. He'll be flabbergasted.

Not hearing much from the MAGA crowd about that storm-making weather machine the US government is supposed to have. They seemed convinced last year. 🤔

An additional imo, there's definite cultural and racial overtones to this list, but I think it has much more to do with economics and greed. Wealth is Trump's god. It wouldn't surprise me if most, or all, of the countries on the list had made no trade offers to the US.

Note the omission of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan as well.

Not sure if the cast of clowns you've got going would be able to manage a civil war. Probably just divide the country into a few pieces, followed by a few decades of sniping back and forth.

I like how he presented Trump with the gift of a copy of his grandfather's German birth certificate 🙂

Because people forget that it's actually a lot more than one man.

Trump & Musk are the first messy breakup of Pride Month 🤷
comment in response to

No, this is the move of someone who was keeping someone else's dirty secret, and no longer feels he has to keep it. There's more material that Clinton was closer to Epstein than Musk was, but those connections are also peripheral and tenuous. 🤷

People do tend to be afraid of fascism. Then there's the insult from having your funding cut, your research removed, and maybe even being fired. Consider that there's more than a few who are just leaving. Hello from Toronto; a lot of academics from the US have shown up recently. 🍁

Apollo 1 and Challenger were, of course, tragedies. . . oh, not those exploding rockets.
