My how soft and delicate we have become.

Quote
Dr. Gail Saltz, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the NY Presbyterian Hospital Weill-Cornell School of Medicine, also noted Trump’s extreme and cruel rhetoric as abnormal in American politics.

“President Trump used deprecating, extreme, cruel language to discuss anyone or groups he did not agree with,” Saltz told Salon via email. “He often included an indictment of the person or group with verbally aggressive language, even suggesting at times for others who agreed with him to rise up and ‘defeat’ any who would oppose him. He ridiculed and shamed others around him and constantly threatened others with being treated aggressively should they fail to support him.”

The other week I went over to MSNBC's website. IIRC it was right before the Virginia election.

I stopped counting at 9 the number of front page headlines on their site that referenced Trump DIRECTLY.

Not as in, former Trump officials receive subpoenas...

But, Donald Trump stretches and yawns, proving he's an evil fascist! Direct, personal references to the man over what was, for the most part, absolutely trivial stuff.

I really thought the left was going to learn that most of the rest of the country has moved on from Trump, but it's clear that no, they've not, and in reality they can't.

Terry McAuliffe really though he had a winning campaign strategy with his constant whining cry of TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! EVIL FASCIST PUPPET MASTER OF REPUBLICANS IN VIRGINIA! TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

My guess is that they still can't figure out why that theme didn't work, and I'm praying to god that they never really do figure it out and roll it out in spades for the midterms next year.

Any time I post anything even remotely complimentary about Trump or Conservatives a friend's sister comes out of the *expletive deleted*ing woodwork to screech about Trump...

Even things that aren't related to Trump she turns into Trump screeds.

Don't give me any crap about Godwinizing the thread.   Throwing that epithet around is only another "cartridge" in the Leftist propaganda ammunitIon dump. 

I looked up propaganda and these were the first three hits on the duckduckgo search engine:

----------------------------
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org › content › en › article › ministry-of-propaganda-and-public-enlightenment
Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightenment
The Propaganda Ministry aimed further to control the content of news and editorial pages through directives distributed in daily conferences in Berlin and transmitted through the party propaganda offices to regional or local papers. Detailed guidelines stated what stories could or could not be reported and how to report the news.
---------------------------
https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Reich_Ministry_of_Public_Enlightenment_and_Propaganda
Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda
The Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda ( Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda; RMVP), also known simply as the Ministry of Propaganda ( Propagandaministerium ), controlled the content of the press, literature, visual arts, film, theater, music and radio in Nazi Germany

--------------------------
.
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org › content › en › article › nazi-propaganda
Nazi Propaganda | Holocaust Encyclopedia
Communicating the Nazi Message Following the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Hitler established a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels. The Ministry's aim was to ensure that the Nazi message was successfully communicated through art, music, theater, films, books, radio, educational materials, and the press.

-------------------------------------

Y' know, we say that 1984 was a warning for us, but a textbook for "them."

The propaganda ministry of 1933 on is a model for what's going on here in the USA today.

Aww, crap, Terry, that's all just ancient history.  What's it got to do with today?

And I'm being a bad boy for "Godwinizing" the thread.

Putting this here because Sullivan is still in TDS. He's voting for Republicans to teach the Dems a lesson, but still can't figure out that he should have voted for the scary "election-denier." This chump knows he was played, but he's ready to get played again. Just because Trump.

Quote
It therefore doesn’t surprise me that in his final pitch to voters this week, Biden barely mentioned his record. He didn’t talk about inflation, the looming recession, crime, immigration, Covid. He mentioned nothing that would motivate anyone beyond his own base.

He returned instead to his previous 2020 electoral blackmail: you have no choice but to vote for Democrats because the far right is so hostile to democracy. To which my answer would be: Well, I did that already. And I was treated like an easy mark by the Dems — who pocketed my vote and ignored all of my concerns. Voting for an actual election denier would remain a dealbreaker for me. But otherwise, when Trump is not on the ballot, why would I be suckered by the woke left again?

What do you think? Think she has a problem with Trump?

Quote
On Tuesday, Trump finally announced that he will run for president again in 2024. In this sequel, we can think of Trump as a type of sleep demon, a fascist version of the legendary horror-movie monster Freddy Krueger. Trump’s third presidential campaign is meant to keep the American people asleep. If they wake up, Trump’s dark power may finally be broken.



As he has done repeatedly, Trump is echoing and channeling the same kind of violent, apocalyptic, fantastical and profoundly paranoid rhetoric that fueled the fascist movements of 20th-century Europe, up to and including Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. In recent months, Trump has become even more explicit in his threats of widespread chaos and violence if he is indicted or otherwise punished by the Department of Justice or other law enforcement agencies.

This morning I went and did some work with a woman on her farm.  Out of the blue she asked me if I was "Trumpist" or something.  I told her I was a Republican though Trump "wasn't exactly my favorite person" (which is accurate).  That seemed to satisfy her.

I like the woman quite a lot, but why did she even bring it up?  What would she have done if I was a huge Trump fan?  Would she have been obligated to hate me?  It was just bizarre.  Talking about politics with strangers is just a bad, bad idea for the most part.

Sure, those exist with the same fervor, fire, passion, and media coverage accorded to people losing their minds over Donald Trump's simple continued existence.

Proof positive of that is the front pages of the various news outlets. Once those three left office, the major media outlets continued, for months, to have coverage continually devoted to them, often in the most negative terms possible, and often at the expense far more newsworthy stories...

Lately (10 years or so) my response to any feelers is that I have no opinion on anything.

They aren't interested in your opinion,  They're only interested in opening the door to tell you theirs.

Pressing further, they'll ask "But what about (this or that)?  Don't you think (here and there)?"

I tell them that's why we have secret ballots.

Any more probing than that I'm inclined to modify my gentlemanly demeanor slightly and become "paternally firm."

Just talking to and having your photo taken with Trump makes you a villain

Quote
Rock singer Jack White trashed celebrities Guy Fieri, Mel Gibson, Joe Rogan and Mark Wahlberg for interacting with former President Donald Trump during a UFC event in Las Vegas over the weekend.

After photos of all four of them attending UFC 290 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Trump on Saturday started spreading online, White took to his Instagram account to express his outrage.

"Anybody who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of sh*t Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book," White wrote Monday. "That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri. This is a statement from me, not a discussion/debate. -Jack White III."

The trouble... no, make that "one of the troubles" ...with Lefties is they are constantly tooth-rending and garment-grinding in frustration that the Constitution usually keeps them from doing what they want to do.

So they lash out like children at anything remotely resembling a respectful attitude toward the wisdom of the founding fathers' marvelous invention.

By the way, I've noticed that when "they" ask a question, i isn't to find out what you think.  It's to open the door for them to tell you what they think.

FWIW, APS is not a representative sample of the US. There are probably a lot of Very Famous Music Industry Figures many of us do not know. We're old.

I recall someone here having to explain Old Town Road to me, a few years ago.

I worked with Jack White. Good guy. USMC veteran and good Republican.

Not some *expletive deleted*che bag musician.

Heard of Joe Rogan many times.  Heard of Guy Fieri many times.  Never, ever heard of Jack White.

Probably all publicity is underhandedly suppressed as racist.

Why do I have the suspicion they are just making fun of modern tastes in music?

This theory seems to fit the data as presented.

This morning I went and did some work with a woman on her farm.  Out of the blue she asked me if I was "Trumpist" or something.  I told her I was a Republican though Trump "wasn't exactly my favorite person" (which is accurate).  That seemed to satisfy her.

I like the woman quite a lot, but why did she even bring it up?  What would she have done if I was a huge Trump fan?  Would she have been obligated to hate me?  It was just bizarre.  Talking about politics with strangers is just a bad, bad idea for the most part.

Donald Trump is sparking fears among those who understand the inner workings of the Pentagon that he would convert the nonpartisan U.S. military into the muscular arm of his political agenda as he makes comments about dictatorship and devalues the checks and balances that underpin the nation’s two-century-old democracy.



Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions so that they will be ready if he wins in November. That involves preparing to take legal action and send letters to Trump appointees spelling out consequences they’d face if they undermine constitutional norms.

I have noticed that both NBC and The Hill are going full bore on the House Harkonnen stuff the last few days. Stories on Trump executing people, etc. It is mind-boggling to me that there is some segment of society that truly believes this stuff. Let alone "reputable news sources" actually running with it.

The scary part is you wonder if they are just accusing Trump of something they already do or they are trying to justify some future actions.  Sad to think about that and realize I could easily see it happening and these people cheering it on.

4 years ago, Trump's reckless order led to the assassination of an Iranian general, triggering events that have killed 3 US Troops.

Let’s be clear: @POTUS Biden is measured and ALWAYS values Troop safety, while Trump shows NO regard for consequences.

Critics have released their initial reviews of The Regime, praising the actress's ability to channel the spirit of a bevy of notorious leaders, including China's Xi Jinping, echoes of North Korea's Kim Jong Un, and former US President Donald Trump.

Because nothing says dictator like Donald Trump
