Well, I learned a new word today - thank youi. :)

I would not be able to represent myself in a court as an adult if I wadn't fluent in the language.  I can't imagine how bad things must be for a parent to send a child off alone to another country.

Mr. Goldberg posted the entire chat.  About what did he lie?  

If Trump wants to copensate the Jan. 6 rioters, he can do it out of his own pocket.  This isn't something for which the taxpayers should foot the bill.  

Much like you, I am center left when it comes to social issues and center right when it comes to financial issues.  I think most people are somewhere in the middle, but the two extremes are louder so they get more attention.

How's this for examples of competency in this administration?

Sorry to hear that and hope the surgery goes well.  You need to get a laptop so you can take it wherever you are.

Couldn't agree more.

I agree and I wouldn't blame them.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s threats with a backhand:


“So, you voted to build a wall.


Well, dear Americans, even if geography isn’t your strong suit—since you consider America a country rather than a continent—you should know that beyond that wall, there are 7 billion people.


And since the word 'people' might not resonate with you, let’s call them 'consumers.'
These 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhones to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti and, within six months, replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW—brands that often outperform in quality.


They can cancel Direct TV, and though they might not want to, they can stop watching Hollywo...    less

Interesting link.  Basically, there re good and bad points in whichever stance you take, but the real goal is to wind up somewhere in the middle, which is probably where most voters are, irrespective of their party affiliation.  

No, you did not define it.  You skirted the issue because you really don't know what constitutes being "woke" or "extreme leftism."  You merely parrot what Trump tells youi to think.  End of discussion because it's a fruitless to waste of my time.

Exactly.  Fortunately, I have other income sources, so if my Soc. Sec. doesn't come in, I won't be earing cat food, but I'm sure there are a lot of folks who aren't in my position.

So youi freely use a phrase that you can't define.  Got it.  

Tesla Cybertruck has had 8 recalls between January 2024 and March, 2025.https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2024/TESLA/CYBERTRUCK/PU%25252FCC/AWD#recalls

I would like to know what YOU consider extreme leftist positions.

Mine are automatically deposited also.  That, however, doesn't mean that DOGE or Musk or Trump can't decide to stop those payments.  

Pretty much. :)

Define "extreme leftist ideology."

Define "woke."

 Not a problem because there will be no one to pick anything they would grow anyway.

Happy weekend to you. :)

People in red states will not believe this.

Define "woke."

He said "boycotting" and that's what he meant.  If he didn't, he could have edited his post, but he didn't.  Even you should understand the difference between boycotting something (not illegal) and vandalizing (illegal).
