28.09.2025 19:06 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It isnโt unprecedented. It is the Fรผhrerโs Oath Part 2.
27.09.2025 15:12 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Seems to me there are limited possibilites:
(1) an Hitlerian loyalty oath JUST as Hitler did with his generals (likely);
(2) the start of martial law;
(3) mass firing; or
(4) a war.
There arenโt really many options beyond these I suspect.
A reckoning will come. Not soon enough but it will.

26.09.2025 01:43 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Right on. Buy local. Support your neighbors. I have too much stuff from family passed on and am giving it away. As the phrase used to go, live simply so others might simply live. No aid or comfort to the billionaire class.
26.09.2025 01:02 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I love the traveling wilburys because it is sweet to hear both their unique voices shine solo and harmonize so well together. That generation could sing. Using the human instrument. They didnโt need all the electronic corrections so many depend on presently to cover a lack of talent.
26.09.2025 00:18 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It is getting hard to exist with boycotts of virtually everything for one good reason or another. This is why we must do this together. Shut them all down. General strike. We can exist longer than they can without their serf population. But that wonโt happen as americans have no fire anymore.
26.09.2025 00:12 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It depends on the term and which body. For the first term the senate was GOP and the house Democratic. That changed in his second term. Despite composition it saw the GOP move further right and the Democrats also move further to the right. It was the end of the new deal/great society.
25.09.2025 19:28 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Exactly. In fact they did remarkably better. They always do under progressive administrations. A high tide has always raised all ships until Reagan. At that point policy reverted to one where the only ones that mattered were those surfing on top of the wave. Everyone else? Drown & be done with it.
25.09.2025 17:28 โ ๐ 7 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Omg.โConvicted felon dementia ridden cankles mctaco titsโ. It is so absurdly funny because it is true. Doonsbury used to represent with a feather. We should now use a bone spur.
25.09.2025 01:26 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Americans cannot afford food, medicine, housing, schooling or anything else but the felon can send $20 billion taxpayer dollars to bail out one of his right wing fascist cronies in argentina. Seems to me, magat scum, this isnโt very America first.
25.09.2025 00:39 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I no longer subscibe to Hulu or Disney or Paramount. I have no ABC, CNN, or any others. They can cancel all the want. They can report whatever the fascist tells them. I will get my news from the few non corporate souls and the few media I can trust from outside the US, like the Guardian. FAFO

11.09.2025 13:02 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0And while I speak portuguese I do not speak french, so that is not advantageous in a nation that is happily bilingual.
10.09.2025 23:57 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I have seen them. Most are interested in big names (like the anti fascists) or folks associated w/ hard sciences. Although statistics is a hard science there is little demand for an American statistics professor. I get it. Why hire externally when Canadian academics are there? Still, for me, sad.
10.09.2025 23:56 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0A nation who either celebrates or goes hysterical over what they describe as โpolitical violenceโ yet largely gives no shits over the daily school shootings, is not a nation that deserves to survive.
10.09.2025 22:30 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Who promotes violence on a daily basis - the right. Live by the swordโฆ
These arenโt โpolitical disagreementsโ however. These are existential
Tenure does not save a job. It gives you some academic freedom protection back in the day but little else. The contract, if you have a collective bargaining agreement, is what sort of protects you and requires a process for termination.
10.09.2025 17:29 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I would be there yesterday but universities wonโt hire a 60 yo professor. They want younger blood. Alas.
10.09.2025 17:25 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0The United States are already lost. The way forward is a New American Republic minus the confederacy. That isnโt going to happen with voting. We had that chance for peaceful change. We blew it or let the oligarchs steal it. The US is already gone. Most just donโt understand that or care.
10.09.2025 16:06 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0If they receive the money it will be a bribe not a bailout. Living in rurality, I know with certainty, these folks will be on the street with a tin cup and still vote for the felon. They deserve their fates. They donโt deserve a taxpayer bailout.
10.09.2025 13:16 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0So we should now believe the BLS with these โrevisionsโ that took place after the felon fired everyone with a brain. And axios - typical WTF??!! You question nothing. The press. More Pravda than press.
09.09.2025 16:38 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I donโt understand how the felon could even draw that pathetic pos cartoon. None of the girls he has raped have even reached puberty.
09.09.2025 02:17 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Been a lover of Trek since the beginning. Your wit and wisdom for the years I have been able to read your posts and the inspiration you have provided have gone far beyond even that.
08.09.2025 19:53 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Would someone please post a source? I keep looking and hoping. While I know Gov Hochul has effectively now allowed vaxxes without scripts at pharmacies in NY, I still find nothing about the e/coast alliance unlike the w/coast alliance which is widely reported. Long live the New American Republic.
