Fire fights is what the Right wants and is hoping for.

If you don't have a good sized freezer, buy one. There are small ones that fit in any home.

Too many veggies? Chop them up and put them in quart sized containers. You can add them to any soup or stew.

I have a five quart pot; make chili/stew/soup and freeze in pint size containers.

My house has a good freezer, here's the first i searched out as an example.

The people I rate highest were those who openly said they weren't going for moral reasons. Muhammed Ali couldn't fight for years because he had religious reasons the government refused to acknowledge. Others went to Canada or Sweden.

Next are people like Bill Clinton. Had a valid student deferment and talked about how bad the war was.

Further down are people who used legal means, but were silent.

Lowest are people like Bush Jr. who finagled his way into the National Guard [and bailed on his last year] and Trump who lied about his medical condition. Both of these two were happy to have other people die to defend their right to be a rich kid.

This is where caring counts. We've all seen videos where 'dad reflexes' kick in and someone reacts in micro-seconds to save a kid. Medical staff was getting paid to show up and be on stand-by. They were expecting a broken leg, or other trauma.

lol! You demand specifics and plans, and then throw out two words. "General strike."

Details, please. Who is the leader? What is the date? What are your demands? How are you going to handle invalids and homebound folks who need food and meds delivered? Schools open or close?

I know I was expecting a showing worthy of Brezhnev circa 1981.

It was kind of like that TV comedy trope where they hype a "Hollywood sex symbol" and then Tom Arnold shows up.

Let's turn it around.

What's your plan? How do you propose to get Trump out? Be very specific.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've never been to a billionaire polo match [sad trumpet] but I'd assume that there be some medical staff, like you'd find at any major sporting event where injury is likely. On the other hand, I could see how the staff was prepared for a broken neck and not considering bee stings. Either way, it's pretty funny.

No one in MAGA world is taking a victory lap

You, for whatever reason, are vastly overcomplicating it.

I'm old enough to remember Bush Jr. landing on that aircraft carrier dressed like Fighter Pilot Barbie. People on the Left derided him, but we all had to admit that he'd made a powerful statement and really touched a lot of people

You say you need 'facts,' and I say that people were building complex machines long before they had calculus. Sometimes the evidence of your own eyes is enough.

Or do you think that six months from now people will change their minds and start talking about what a great parade it was?

Donald Trump won the election in 2016 over Hilary Clinton. How much more evidence do you need that people should have done more to defeat Donald and the GOP?

No body wants a military coup, least of all the military.

The people in the Army have run the numbers and they know there's no way they could control the entire country with the current enlistment.

The military has some great marching bands, crack troops that can do incredible displays, and all kinds of fantastic aircraft. They were ordered to do a parade, and they did a parade. I don't think these guys are champing at the bit to go to war for Donnie.
