Good morning, CoSo!

When the secret police come to fetter out all those who have been disloyal to the régime or transgressed its arbitrary commandments or simply been in a category of people the régime defines as anathema, it's not enough to be good at hiding your tracks and blending in with the multitude. Maybe you can escape detection with the right pseudonyms and passwords and secret software. But that's merely self-preservation, not resistance.

Interesting! Gonna look into that. I am a big believer in voting with my dollars. I wish more chains like Lowes, HomeDepot, Walmart, etc were run/founded by dems.

If this site is seven years old, I must have been on here close to seven years.

This what happens when you think Trump owes you: you get mocked publicly.

“During his first meeting with Republican lawmakers on the Hill as president-elect, Trump asserted his power over Musk, mocking the tech billionaire for sticking around for so long. ‘Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him,’ Trump said Wednesday. ‘Until I don’t like him.’”

No one is Trump’s friend. In his mind, yhey exist to be used.

Friends, it so damn dark.

If this MSNBC story about courts-martial is confirmed, I'm begging people - especially writers and reporters - do not fall for the Trump line that this is about Afghanistan. This is about Trump seeking revenge on the people who woudn't do things like shoot American protesters.
