I had a similar conversation about who is pulling the strings. Certainly strings are being pulled but that is also the subtext of the job. Dude is also self serving and self accountable.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly how our system works, and it’s the ‘evil in the swamp’ so to speak. Sell out any moral (that may or may not already be there) as a power play stepping stone.
I know I’ve had some very generous offers that I have rejected knowing whom I should and shouldn’t be in debited to.
Don’t get me wrong Putin is no puppy. I personally don’t want to distract pointing fingers elsewhere, and keep the accountability in house so to speak.
Just my 2dinar

The Great Defender on the world stage;
now joins the bullies of the same block.
What we once pointed at and ridiculed in other countries;
we now mimic. As the finger pointed becomes the 4 pointing back of the same hand.
1984 was meant to be an early warning; not guidebook.
This sad story was posted this week on our local nextdoor.com site:
"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone...."

I'm not the pne ypu need to convince, but when do you think we'll actually reach the tipping point where most people will actually get out and actually do something meaningful.The time has come for We the People to end this insanity-

Minnesota is showing some stiff resistance. I’m hearing more calls for open carry citizen patrols. A city wide general strike is planned for Friday and now has become a state wide event with the demand of ice out of the state. This is coming with union support for a general walkout, and a legal side step of the term strike which the unions are banned from. They are sticking their necks out as they should.
An alt right leader just got ran out of town after being doused in water with 0 degree temps. This was infront of city hall, the cops drove by but were not present a interesting tactic.
Atleast that’s what I’m seeing on my screen. This won’t be televised.

I like the sound of that. As long as the protests, stay peaceful and protest like, and don’t turn into looting festivals, I am all for it. I’m not so wild about the idea of dousing some poor guy with water in that cold though.Minnesota is showing some stiff resistance. I’m hearing more calls for open carry citizen patrols.

This is how its done. Massive nation wide general strikes on all facets of life would all but cripple America. It wouldn't be quick and easy, but it would be much more bearable than the place Trump wants to take this country. Drastic times call for drastic measures. We can a little now. or a whole lot more later..
Let's also remember that 46% of Americans now support abolishing ICE, and nearly 60% disapprove of Trump's immigration policies, and the longer ICE continues with its brutal wrath of destruction tour the worse those numbers are gonna get for Trump, ICE, and MAGA. We the People need to seize this moment while we still have the power to put an end to this insanity.

This may be one of the few times you and I agree on something political…
While you weren't looking:
Trump Sets Fraudster Free From Prison for a Second Time
In 2021, a convicted fraudster named Adriana Camberos was freed from prison when President Trump commuted her sentence.
Rather than taking advantage of that second chance, prosecutors said, Ms. Camberos returned to crime. She and her brother were convicted in 2024 in an unrelated fraud.
This week, Mr. Trump pardoned both siblings, marking the second time he had opened the prison gates for Ms. Camberos.
Their pardons were among a handful of clemency grants quietly issued by Mr. Trump on Thursday and Friday.
Among the other lucky recipients: a man whose daughter had given millions to a Trump-backed super PAC, a former governor of Puerto Rico and a former F.B.I. agent — all of whom had pleaded guilty in a political corruption case.
The pardons, most of which have not been previously reported, were supported by people with close ties to Mr. Trump’s orbit, including lawyers who had worked for him.
They continue a trend in which Mr. Trump has used the unfettered presidential clemency power to reward allies and those who have paid his associates or donated to his political operation. The approach stands in contrast to Justice Department guidelines that prioritize the clemency applications of people who have completed their prison sentences or demonstrated remorse and a lower likelihood of recidivism.
Most of the time when protests turn violent, it is a planted disruptor who ends up creating a validation for violence against protestors. This happens all over the place and is part of the fascist playbook. It is neither far-fetched nor a new tactic. It turns out that when you have no scruples, it is very easy to trick people and win. We are not all playing by the same rules, and in fact are not even playing the same game.
Looting festival? You do understand what a general strike actually is?
Some poor guy? A group of far right ICE supporters engaged in a conflict with Anti ICE protester and got their asses kicked with water balloons in sub zero temps.. Boo fucking hoo! At least they were not shot in the face a point blank range.
I hate to ask, but do you still support Trump and the direction he is taking this country?

I have long since ceased supporting Trump, and most of what he does.

I’m far from a legal scholar but there is some legal agreement preventing the unions from banning together or implementing a general strike. This agreement does have an expiration date in the not too distant future.
Personally I wish they would just say to hell with it and do what they were founded to do!

Fundamentally, we are all in the same boat and share many of the core morals.
Happy to have you at the table anytime

Yup, and in my experience back in the day it was the police who escalated to the point there was no other recourse than to push back.
This is also exactly what the maga rally was intended to do. They had plans to burn a Quran in the Muslim side of town.
I’m not one for mass organized religion but I have enough respect for those as not to burn their holy texts.. isn’t there something in the founding documents about freedom of religion?
Down with that but not imposing upon others as mutual respect is equally important
