Agree to disagree. The maga side is OBVIOUSLY the fascist side. I'm not saying democrats are perfect though. Of course not.

Well, it has all been playing out in real time, right before our eyes.  All you have to do is see it for what it is.  Of course, the whole Democrat/Republican thing is somewhat of a distraction.  It’s now more of an Elite vs. everyone else dynamic, in terms of the bigger picture.  It’s no wonder we’ve seen a rise of populism and the MAGA movement.  
 

One thing is certain.  The powers that been don’t seem to be overly concerned about the welfare of the ordinary people.  And it’s only going to get worse. The Western economies are on the verge of bankruptcy and may have little choice but to cut back on spending. At the same time we’re about to see an explosion in the use of AI and robotics.  Millions of jobs will be lost at the same time the economy slows.

Which Biden did and the family appreciated.

Savor the contrast.

 

You sure?

Maybe you missed the bit about Biden trying to contact the family and Trump preferring golf.

Anybody who has lived as long as I must realize that these unstable times (or just changing times, or just times which are a-changing) FEEL extremely and eerily similar to...

The middle-late 1960s...FOR SURE....

 

Welcome to your world!

Welcome to Bedlam!

Welcome to our near-term future of greater instability!

 

I doubt that either Great Good or Great Evil will come of all this unscripted and rapid social and societal evolution...

I think, maybe, we will just be back in the Stone Age, soon, but without the petroleum products, easily accessible, to restart "Humanity-on-Earth 2.0"...

 

Here is a great song which captures this feeling....maybe....

 

The cover of Time is not what it used to be...

\

 

Note: We Boomers grew up, and lived our formative years, with revolution in mind.  And, the world today is a reflection of this.  The boomers were never very smart, you know, and they still are not smart, you know...

 

I just wish my fellow alumnus, Chomsky, were in better health these days....Wish him Well!

But that wasn't the claim, was it?

 

Here's a better summary...  Biden tried to talk to a grieving lady who didn't want to talk to him, Trump helped raise over $4.5 million for the families, while golfing.

 

I'm pretty sure Biden didn't even touch the phone.  His flunkies did.

You are not only sick but a liar as well... he did not play golf and he did check on the family of the man that was killed... I will reveal my sources when you reveal yours... which means I will never have to.

The only reason I like Trump is he really does embody the piss and vinegar of a real America.

 

That picture is epic and will carry him to the white house

Wow, awesome! Time Magazine? Really really awesome for Trump. Is he with Biden on the cover....you know to show unity?

Just being talked about does not mean the cover 

Even if talked about more than any other living human being?

He has to have the world title for being talked about. TV channels like CNN spent a great deal of time talking about him. IMO even on the world news on this very forum there is more about Trump than any other individual.

  No , Biden isn't significant enough to be on the front cover

On that I agree. Look at the mess we made of the world.

 

I have made some small contribution to improving the world by not have any sprogs, but I doubt it made much of a difference.

You could always go to their referenced New York Times article to prove them wrong.

 

I can't, because NYT is  blocked here.  Or did you just look at the link, post a snide comment, and not bother to click and read it?

I read the who NYT article (too long to post the whole text here) in full. Biden called on Saturday. Trump didn't. I later read he called a few days later when all the news agencies had already pointed out that he didn't call immediately.

https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/not-trump-biden-dialled-widow-of-rally-shooting-victim-she-didnt-pick-up-6116808

Also, on that Saturday, Biden called Trump immediately the same day.
