  1. Tulsi Gabbard?
  2. No doubt. But we will soon have a lawless wannabe dictator King in office who doesn't need to follow the law or the constitution as he faces no consequences for that. So like it or not (I hate it) things have changed bigly. To those who say he can't just change the constitution, True! But he can just IGNORE it with no consequences.
  3. Lazada has some natural non-Dutched options. I don't understand why people want Dutched. The health benefits are stripped from that process.
  4. Are you suggesting package fees for ignoring? First 10 free. Then based on volume? Reminds me of my first tourism visit to Thailand. On a boat in a floating market and was offered a snake around my neck for a fee. I asked can I pay you NOT to put the snake around my neck?
  5. Has this been covered before here -- I'd like to see SAMPLES of the actual forms.
  6. I realize this is a software design issue so probably unrealistic to request. but here goes anyway. I'd like to see an Ignore List option where you can still see the ignored member's posts but are prevented from replying to them. I'd also like to see it made harder to ACCIDENTALLY turn off ignore when you're just doing a Show Post on an ignored user. Like a red alert warning -- Do you really want to un-ignore this member?
  7. Of course the rule of law needs to be respected and political violence eschewed. The trouble is that Trump and Maga embrace it.
  8. Well the problem is you don't want gaps. California really should be it's own country. Texas too -- they've always wanted that. It would be funny if the old USA was land locked from the Pacific. Of course -- Alaska. I hear Russia wants it back. Let's make a deal!
  9. Very true. If he had gotten lucky, and autocratic felon Trump hadn't won, it wouldn't have been as bad but he set it up so that there was very little chance of stopping him. Also, not helping Ukraine early enough with enough will be seen as a huge mistake. Also his immigration policy. There are positives too, but overall not so good.
  10. I'm with Obama on this one. Every country thinks they're exceptional. America does have differences. It has pros and cons like every other nation. It's not the best place to live in the world, and it's also not the worst. Countries and civilizations tell stories about themselves. The stories don't need to reflect truth but stories are important in human culture.
  11. Better off moving to Mexico. I am not predicting thar the US map will change but it is idiotic to suggest it isn't at least possible. That both pro and anti autocrat Teump factions are openly talking about it certainly isn't the sign of a stable country.
  12. Wild exaggeration. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html
  13. It isn't at the point where Canada will grant asylum to Americans except in very extraordinary specific cases. Canada's normal non refugee immigration system is merit based fairly similar to Australia.
  14. Anyone paying attention knew that already.
  15. Suggest watching the Inside Russia youtube channel. There exiled Russian Konstantin (expert in economics and energy industry) has been predicting Russia's economic melt down for years now.
  16. OK, I get it. This sounds sensationalist and it's obviously not something that if it ever happens will happen soon. HOWEVER -- The fact that this is even being talked about is another sign of the seriousness of the situation of autocrat Trump coming back to power. Why? Well, normal decent American presidents try to be presidents of ALL the states. Not just states where they have a lot of support. Trump has already shown a pattern of wanting to PUNISH states (and cities) with leadership and voters who oppose his extremist maga autocrat agenda. I'm not saying this will really happen. Nobody can predict the future that way. But such split up of countries is actually not rare in world history, ancient and more recent. As long as we're talking about the U.S. splitting up, personally I wouldn't want to join Canada even if Canada wanted to acquire U.S. states. I think new INDEPENDENT countries would be much better. The Northeast for sure but also the Pacific Coast States. Four States Could Secede From US and Join Canada to Avoid Trump—Democrat - Newsweek
  17. Uh oh. Trump's plan. Others might disagree but I'm reading this as throwing Ukraine under the bus. Which I expected but this seems to confirm. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/11/29/europe/trump-new-ukraine-envoy-analysis-intl/index.html
  18. Correction. Facts don't matter to HIM. Or his cult. The grifter grifts on ...
  19. Trump's insistence that ALL of the candidates for senate leader must pledge to allow recess appointments (giving up the senate's power of ADVISE and CONSENT) was yet another dark sign that Trump intends to rule as an autocratic DICTATOR, as much as is possible, and a lot will be possible. As far as silly people saying the maga autocrats can't just change the constitution on the fly so not to worry. You don't need to change the constitution. You can just ignore it knowing there won't be any consequences as per the almost total power given the presidency recently by the maga controlled Supreme Court.
  20. Garbage! I have never voiced support for open borders Also, border and migrantion policy are separate from global conflict policy. Possibly good news. Jake Broe reports there now four republican Senators who will block Gabbard.
  21. Vladmir thanks you.
