That war became a focal point of activism in the late 60s, but the cultural revolution was already well underway; the anti-war resistance was more of an effect than a cause. If a similar issue exists today, it's climate change. There are young people today smart enough to know that climate change is a serious threat, without waiting to see what the death rate will be: It will make life miserable for virtually everyone.

I don't disagree with much of this but I'm not sure climate change is going to have the same galvanizing effect.

I guess we'll find out.

He has already made the American economy strong again. He has achieved much for the US and for the world.
We, in India, have connected well with President Trump: PM Modi #HowdyModi

Yeah, I'm not sure he's going to secure a lot of buy-in from evangelicals regarding support for Hindu nationalism. They aren't like the Jews, who have a clear role in their End Times fantasies.

What makes this wierd is that Indian Government Officials have been harassing Christians in several Indian states.Very well documented. In this case there really is a strong case that Christians are being harassed for their religion.
As apparently are most Non Hindus in Inida, with the Muslims getting the wrose treatemtns.

And this is well reproted in the evanglical press. Intersting to see if he gets any push back or the FUndies only care about White Christians.
 
Trump just admitted He spoike to the Ukraine President about Biden. The arrogance of the man is just incredible.
More and more I get a sick feeling there is no peaceful solutionn to this.

Stick your nose up Trump's backside and you can steer him anywhere you want him to go.

And of course, only whites can be real Christians anyhow.
 
“Hunter Biden” is now this cycle’s “Hilary’s emails.” It doesn’t matter at all if it’s true or not so long as the criminal can get buy in from his state media and his hordes.

Character assassination by innuendo and lies; grandiose but empty promises; obscene self-obsession; race-baiting demagoguery -- it's easy to predict that the only thing new in Trump's act for 2020 will be lying about his first-term accomplishments.

I'm suddenly reminded of the "Alien Nation" TV series and a comment a Catholic made about the Newcomers.

"I have no doubt that God has a plan for them, but it's not necessarily the same one that He has for us. We can't even be sure they have souls."

And no sooner has Trump boasted about 'yeah, I did it, so what,' he moves on to attack Warren. This one has big potential to backfire.

Vox: Trump just asked the Supreme Court to let him fire the CFPB’s head. The implications are enormous.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to hear a lawsuit challenging the leadership structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — taking the same side as the people suing the government in a major constitutional dispute.

The administration essentially threw in the towel in the challenge to the consumer protection agency started by senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren. As a general rule, the Justice Department has a duty to defend federal laws challenged in court. The administration, however, decided not to defend the law at issue in this case.

With the Justice Department urging the Court to weigh in, it is now very likely that the justices will do so. The policy implications of this suit, Seila Law v. CFPB, are unclear. In the narrowest sense, Seila Law is a case about whether a federal agency can be led by a single director that the president cannot remove at will. More broadly, however, the case is the most recent skirmish in a war over what kind of government our Constitution permits.

Most likely, the Supreme Court will hold that the president may remove the CFPB director. In the short term, that could give a big boost to a future Democratic president — potentially allowing a President Warren to replace Trump’s CFPB director with her own on the first day of her presidency.

But the Court could also go much further. There is a chance — albeit a very small one — that the Supreme Court could strike down the CFPB in its entirety. There’s a somewhat greater chance that the Supreme Court could disallow “independent” agencies in which the leaders of those agencies are protected against removal by the president.

President Trump, in other words, could gain the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve board who refuse to inject steroids into the economy while Trump is running for reelection.

It's a long article, well worth reading.


This will give Warren ammo, fighting the corrupt establishment.
 
Anyways... random things time!

For a moment of amusement... it looks like Trump may have just created something of a new tourist trend. People are apparently having a fair bit of fun climbing the "unclimbable" border wall.

For a moment of BS...

Florida police handcuff and arrest 6-year-old because she threw a 'tantrum' at school

A six-year old girl. Treated like a criminal. Essentially for being a 6 year old.

Democratic Senator calls out fake 'academic' Republicans brought in to fight gun laws

To the surprise of few Democrats, likely, Republicans have quite the continuing history of bringing "experts" to the table that brazenly commit perjury.

No, Joe doesn't constantly drone on about how liberals need to get on board with 2nd Amendment purism in order to join his armed rebellion against the US government, to my knowledge.
That one is all dudalb.

eta: or were you saying Joe always tells people to stop saying the same thing? If so, yeah.
BUT. dudalb's constant call for/prediction of violent revolution is getting seriously weird. And old. Some thoughts are best left quarantined in one's noggin.

Agree on all counts, yet here we are discussing both of them. I guess they fulfill their original intentions. (Nothing against either point, really. dudalb's entitled to his pessimistic thoughts and Joe Morgue's equally entitled to his kvetching.)

Now the Fake News Media says I “pressured the Ukrainian President at least 8 times during my telephone call with him.” This supposedly comes from a so-called “whistleblower” who they say doesn’t even have a first hand account of what was said. More Democrat/Crooked Media con.....

..Breaking News: The Ukrainian Government just said they weren’t pressured at all during the “nice” call. Sleepy Joe Biden, on the other hand, forced a tough prosecutor out from investigating his son’s company by threat of not giving big dollars to Ukraine. That’s the real story!

Just leaving the Great State of Ohio for New York and a few big days at the United Nations. Your Country will be well represented!
