Considering the depth of Republican criminality and corruption, I
wouldn't count on this somehow signaling they are "eating
themselves alive"... not yet. The far Right will do anything if they
think they're losing. Especially if they think they're losing their
credibility over the long term, which of course they are.
Ultimately it's who people vote for--- you can't subvert an election
without getting some pesky attention as a Fascist criminal. If New
Yorkers vote for a George Santos, they get a George Santos. If Arkansans vote for a Sarah
Huckabee they get a Sarah Huckabee. If the country votes Trump back in or
gives DeSantis "a chance", then that's who we're stuck with for four
years. Edited by Atavachron - February 08 2023 at 16:58 |

I thought it was hilarious how Biden got the Republicans to take social security off the chopping block during the state of the union address. And he did it with such ease. Pretty good for an old coot. Nonetheless, I'm sure they won't give up on that, but it won't look in good in the press now that they're "publicly committed."
But yeah, you're right. Americans get what they deserve if they keep voting in clowns (and dangerous ones I might add) like Santos, Green, Boebert, Gaetz, Gosar, DeSantis, and trump.

^And T***p is so desperate to get re-elected to avoid the inevitable onslaught of legal peril that he will torch anyone who stands in his way. I'm happy to have a front row seat for that.

This Guardian article seems to me quite a good assessment of the state of the Republican party nowadays and thus where the US of A are heading...

Thanks for sharing Kees. Can't disagree withe writer's assessment. I find it scary with the direction of the Republican Party. Moreover, combating these tactics could well undermine Democrats as well in the process. The deterioration of democratic principles because of the "win at all cost" mentality is frightening.

Republicans have been a W.A.A.C. party since Nixon but it's gotten worse as they see their once firm majority continue to dissolve. It must be hard for sociopathic criminals to lose elections. |

WOW, last night's debate was full of the GOP eating there own. More like a bunch of squabbling kids than legislators. With the Great Pumpkin so far in the lead, why do they even bother? It's such an obvious fund raising exercise, or maybe audition for a place in Stinky Don's cabinet.

^I would think auditions. You're brave for watching it. My brain can't handle this stuff anymore. This may turn out to be a pivotal election in history because if trump gets in there again, it will change the U.S. in ways that I think are quite scary for not just those of us living here, but for most of the world. They have a manifesto and it's called Project 2025. I don't like the looks of this at all.

It certainly is a fascinating subject. Something I'd like to dig into a little deeper when I have more free time.

Oh they're real, but I suspect nothing is alien about them. Most likely secret tech no one wants to share. Hopefully it is in the hands of friendly governments and not some global criminal network. Edited by Atavachron - September 28 2023 at 15:24 |

^If that's the case, it's not just secret tech, but new physics too. I understand some of these craft are capable of accelerating from anywhere between 100g to over 5000g without a sonic boom. Or going from 28,000 feet in the air down to sea level in under a second without really causing much disturbance to the sea below it when it stopped.

^ Or old physics dating back to the end of WWII related to the secret work of German scientists. Just conjecture of course, but the timing of the first mass UFO sightings being the late-1940s makes sense. |

So you think that out of the millions of stars and galaxies in the universe we are alone? No other intelligent life is out there? That's pretty unlikely imo.

^ No, I think out of the millions of stars and galaxies in the universe the likelihood of another intelligent & animated species running into each other is tiny. That may be one reason the place is so big, to avoid encounter. |

You believe extra-Earth beings with craft have been invading airspace, baiting jets & nuclear facilities, and buzzing Navy ships for the past 70 years... why? For fun? At this point that seems increasingly unlikely and bizarre. |

What's hard to believe is they travel millions of miles, light years possibly and then crash on earth??
 As well the further/deeper you go into the galaxy and stars, essentially you are looking into the past...So where are they coming from with spacecraft that can do that from the past?Also I'd like to know if they fart and what does it smell like.....  I could give a rats a$S who gets into the White House, they are all absolute morons, its a loose loose scenario. UFOs are what's important.

I don't know what their reason is. You'll have to ask them. Imo, the UFOs or UAPs (as the military calls them) aren't from this world. Maybe they are from another dimension or from underground or underwater but I don't think anything that this world is currently capable of can move that fast or do those things. Go to youtube and look up navy ufos or "pentagon declassifies navy UFO videos." If you still think they are some kind of secret military aircraft then fine but why would the navy pilots not know about it or be in on it? That makes no sense.
