Just as real as HDS (Hitler Derangement Syndrome)... people convinced that Hitler was an evil human being. Or maybe JDDS (Jeffrey Dahmer Derangement Syndrome)... because, you know, they think serial killing = bad. You get the idea. The whole "Derangement Syndrome" concept doesn't make any kind of logical sense at all. It's just the kind of trash you dig up on social media. And that those with a 3rd grade level of education seem to enjoy repeating.

@mspart Here's a video that explains it quite well - without nearly the typical bias you'd get on xwitter. It is CNN and it is Jake Tapper, so some many not like that part, but watch it. You'll see the Fox/Trump version of the same thing happening during an interview with him. @headshuck Per your previous post about exactly that, I'm not "up in arms" about it. The point here is about the reality of the situation. Not the outrage and anger that Trump continually seeks to stoke from his base. As usual, the 'big outrage' being made over 60 Minutes - isn't really what it's being made out to be. There was no "changed answers" for either Kamala or Trump. No deepfakes. It was just normal TV editing as @Tripnsweep has already suggested multiple times.

DOGE is stupid because it allows non-elected actors access to government data and functions without proper oversight. It's not because it is a Democrat or Republican thing - it's just that is is incredibly effing stupid at a non-partisan level. And, as they take action, their first order of business is to further decrease any potential oversight. They'll be working in the shadows. Even the name DOGE should give anyone and everyone pause. The crypto coin that Elon openly manipulated to increase his fortune illegally without any legal implications. Another wealthy white guy getting a free pass. Even Vivek Ramaswamy was smart enough to get the hell out of that mess when he saw what it really was. I would encourage everyone to dig into this deeper. Musk is a lot like Trump, both are always on offense and care little about covering their tracks. The truth is out there, if anyone cares enough to look.

I don't have a xwitter account - I am uninterested in what goes on there. It is a digital swamp. Not a source. Musk is making the calls because he is making the calls. Doesn't matter if Trump called the first play or not - either way Musk took the ball and ran with it. He left Trump in the dust and Musk is still running.

Trump is the oldest President in the history of the US, and the election took a lot out of him. Being morbidly obese doesn't help either. He's on his last legs. Given the circumstances, leaning on his buddy Musk to take over much of the presidential responsibilities isn't too hard to believe. But, Musk - being Musk - took advantage of his new Presidential position to suddenly attack the South African enemies of his youth. All the while knowing the real message behind it... "we'll make room for whites, but only whites." Which sits just fine with the KKK, Prod Boyz (not a gay boy band, but pretty close), and the assorted other racist dimwits. Musk's REAL MESSAGE to those south of the US border is that "We are now openly white supremacists, stay away." Trump woke up from a nap long enough to agree with it and go back to sleep. And that's where we are at. Wait - there's more. Now watch Musk as he maneuvers to make his REAL goal become reality. He's only acting President Musk right now, but he's aiming much higher - Musk for President 2028! Nobody in the Trump clan is nearly strong enough to stand in his way. Nobody in the Republican party has enough spine to block it. The fact that he's not-US born is a hardly a problem - it's peanuts compared to what he's already been doing by raiding and stealing confidential government information to feed his AI and reshaping the government into something out of a Nazi playbook. Musk already owns Trump and the Republicans. Feels like he may have been funding Project 2025 all along. His intentions are public, obvious, and (since he realizes US citizens are mostly uneducated, hateful, small minded racists) will likely succeed. You heard it hear first.

Ha! Musk isn't "faculty" at the White House - he's the acting President. Unelected, unwanted, and a douche. Unfortunately, Sleepy Trump is on his last legs. Project 2025 requires considerable energy. Ripping up the Constitution and tossing it out isn't an easy task. Ethics, morality, patriotism all get in the way. They had to assign it to migrant from Africa who has no soul and doesn't give a rip about US patriotism to get it done. Oh, and did I mention he's a racist white guy who doesn't even bother to use a dog whistle. He exhibits it proudly.

I believe you meant to say President Musk.

You believe moderate Republicans and Democrats are responsible for wasteful spending? And, following through that line of thinking, you think the far right Republicans are the answer to the spending problem? I'm not judging, just trying to understand your line of thought.

No doubt you are correct here. Immigration was the very cornerstone of the 'melting pot' that formed our great nation. Great ideas and concepts routinely make their way into music, poetry, and inscriptions (and vice-versa.)

Nah, Moderates in both parties are working to make things better. The hard R and hard L are focused on causing chaos. They don't help anyone in the country except themselves. It would be relatively easy to see - if it weren't for the party nut-huggers who keep trying to hide it. (And this place is chock full of them.)

I do have answers, but I'm not inclined to give them to lazy bitchy children who won't research for themselves.

My thoughts are: Sounds like you have questions - good homework for you. Use google, go find out. And then report back. Make yourself useful and find the answers to your questions.

What - you can't read? Read it yourself and then report your answers to us if you want to make a point with substance.

No - because that's a pile of BS you've just posted. Stop getting your news from facebook or wherever the heck you get it from It's a mystery as to why dummies around here keep getting suckered by such dumb internet hoaxes.

Great match. Great competitors, A lot of fun to watch. All good all around.

As I said, you're not wrong. But, realistically, if we're going to discuss strategy after the fact - riding harder would be a good idea.

You're not wrong. But, IMO, the neutral position seems the best way to settle it in OT.

These are a couple of Minnesota guys who met in a state championship match in high school. Crazy.

If you have access to B1G+ (or others), it's worth it to watch a few more of his matches. Highly recommended.

If you're smoking something off the Schedule 1 menu.

We can meet halfway. At least the IDK part of your post is true.

Substance? Carrot top? wtf? You're kind of like the Oompa Loompa of not being able to see above your nose. I called you out on your ongoing BS above - "Posted Wednesday at 09:23 PM" That's the one where your post was BS, and you were a babbling idiot (which is at least consistent.) You're certainly a dim bulb - 25% at best. Dopes like you keep posting with no substance, then singing the 'you have no substance' tune. You're pathetic.

It's the one on the right, the one where you put in 100% effort to honestly discuss. If you choose to do less, you'll keep posting like one of the dim bulbs. Not a good choice.

But you're wrong. It is accurate. "Forbidden terms" is, indeed, a level of censorship. And this is exactly the type of thing that is getting people laid off and fired from federal work at this very moment. You can argue that "it doesn't rise to the same level" as other countries - but that is dependent on your perspective and personal opinion, as well as the pre-existing conditions prior to this censorship change. It's all relative, and there is no concrete comparison between what we are seeing in the US vs other countries. One other mistake you made. ICE is well known for detaining (and worse) US citizens. As they are known for detaining (and worse) non-criminal aliens. Your claim that ICE is only policing "criminal aliens" is 100% inaccurate.

Here's the sequence of posts for review: Nobody said "everyone is doing" it except you. You missed the point entirely. Pay attention, read before you post, give it some effort - or you'll keep looking like a babbling idiot. Like everything else, if you're going to do it - it's worth it to put in some effort and try to do it right.
