It's also not like Epstein and Trump never met. I'm not sure it's a productive avenue for him.0 -

You would hope they would learn from their experiences wouldn't you?0 -
I'd argue that the position of first lady is such that, depending on the incumbent, it can be seen as a political office.
Melania clearly had no interest in making it such, but this makes her an outlier.
Besides I'd say the lack of experience was the least of Trumps problems. His brand of populism falters hard when confronted by reality.0 -

I don’t think it’s too much of an exaggeration that, in light of the efforts to stage a coup, that a second term of Trump is a material risk to global security.0

Documented tax fraud, anyone? It looks like NYAG has got some interesting reading... long threads, but worth a gander.

You obviously didn't read the thread properly did you? Nor the legislation.rick_chasey said:I think the point is more is that movement in the wrong direction is always bad and relying on the "it'll never happen here" isn't really enough; there is always an incentive for those in power to erode democracy and so it's incumbent on anyone and everyone to maintain vigilance against that.
I thought it remarkable that someone like @ballysmate was defending the erosion of the right to protest because he didn't like the protesters. That's the kind of stuff that long-term can cause problems in a democracy.
I said that the law is drafted in a way to deal with ALL demonstrations. I think IIRC that the term I used was it has to be sufficiently vague. I gave examples of the recent protests where Extinction Rebellion blocked ambulances and how the law would impact other groups such as EDL.
I don't recall expressing support or condemnation of any group. It was YOU who seemed concerned because you felt it was directed at a group you had sympathy for.
On the subject of only viewing the law through the prism of only causes that you support I will post in the Colston thread as it is probably more apt.

You see, when I called Trump and Trumpism fascist, or at the very least fascistic, I really wasn't exaggerating.0

Don't be silly.
To early to say that.
Too late to do anything about it.0 -

It is very sad, but isn't it a bit pointless, given how information flows on the internet anyway? Strikes me as another example of and older generation trying to make the world what it was (or what they thought it was) when they were younger.0

It is a special kind of person that goes to a library to loan a book. Reads it then complains about it. They could have stopped at any point and handed it back. Some people really don't that to be able to think you have to risk offending people.0

The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

The Jon Ronson podcast Things Fell Apart is very interesting, has a story of the origins of this.
