Just saw a board member saying it was NOT unanimous and that she was repeatedly disallowed to unmute to voice her opposition.

" “Mr. Trump’s announcement of a “blockade” caught senior officials at the Pentagon and at Southern Command in Florida by surprise. On Wednesday, they scrambled to figure out the U.S. military’s role in the action, U.S. officials said.” US gunboat diplomacy — Trump's order to do a blockade of some oil tankers by Venezuela surprised the Pentagon. Maduro orders the navy to escort ships, risking a conflict on the high seas. Trump says he aims to seize the country's oil and other assets.

They already installed the new signage on the Kennedy Center building. Almost as if this was planned in advance. What an honor!

saw somebody else make the point that the name of a living person almost never goes on a memorial

That would be a good trade-off, actually. I think he could fairly keep the name under those circumstances.

You guys remember your Egyptian history? There was that one female pharaoh that came along, and after she was gone, they tried to erase all evidence that she ever existed?

Yea maybe we can do that for Trump.

I hate the constant "this person is a nazi" type talk, but i absolutely view trumps "era" as something akin to the nazis. Once we get him gone, something has to be done so that someone like him and his type can never have power again

I don’t think anything can be done about it tbh

History is filled with examples of megalomaniacal leaders

Founding fathers and Plato at the least wrote extensively about it. We all grew up with k12 education heavily focused on how bad the Nazis were. We were constantly awash in aspirational media like reading rainbow and the Marvel movies. We learn about the emperors new clothes in elementary school. A huge chunk of pop culture is about people like trump— literally he’s the inspiration for the bad guy in back to the future and the dope in futurama. Yet Americans were still it inoculated against trumps very basic and simplistic cons.

I think our best bet is destroying Fox News but another trump is inevitable I’d guess— maybe another 50 years from now if we make it that far.

MAKE ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIANS GREAT AGAIN

this has been my central thesis for how many years now? if regular politicians will just be Excellent, then there won't be any need for the populace to decide they need to take a chance on populists.

[Edited on December 19, 2025 at 6:48 PM. Reason : and as i've also said, millennials are gonna take charge between now and 2050. so be Excellent.]

"educated" progressives fell for the same sorts of nonsense. it can't just be about destroying Fox News or MSNBC or tiktok or bluesky or RT or al jazeera or CGTN. imo we should put more energy into rallying Americans to be their best selves and not letting people (foreign or domestic) manipulate them.
