Not identity, ideology. They need to be able to say “this piece of SDP or SRP” is BS. They need to be able to back that up. If nothing else, virtually every American thinks they’re an independent thinker. That’s what they identify with. Many people are willing to back someone with what they see as backbone. Trump is an aberration; the machine that’s enabling him is a construction and a plan. Attack it Wendy P.

That’s the key. Whoever it is, they need to be willing to break with both Republican and Democratic orthodoxy. Wendy P.

Likewise. I was a LSS Black Belt; it’s a huge number of useful tools. But like everything else, too many of the new BB’s drank the koolaid, and tried to black belt every.single.issue. People who have some real input really do react better to change. Not the kind of input you give to toddlers (do you want the green socks or the red socks?), but useful stuff Wendy P.

The larger and more mature the organization, the more people there are who learn to work the system. And people are naturally resistant to change — they generally get ahead by working the system. So they’re fine with others having to change and lose, but only as long as they can protect themselves (that ox-goring thing). And the people who have the most to lose in an organization are often management — that’s why it’s always the line workers who are cut. You can always make someone else’s job “more efficient,” but god forbid someone should say you’re not doing your max Wendy P.

Virtually every right wing poster I’ve met is nice in person. Including the one in SC. Às is the case for the left wing ones. The web brings out the worst in most. Wendy P.

I’m basing it on personal experience. What are you basing your statement on? Wendy P.

One can but hope. The “go fast and break things” works better when it’s new development, and not stuff that millions depend on. Wendy P.

Well, I know a decent number of refugees in the US who have been very productive members of society. Maybe here? Wendy P.

It’s what they were called. Good luck finding the people who were on it. You might try the SOS or JOS group on Facebook, too. Wendy P.

Remember, when the president or his minions do it, it’s not against the law. Wendy P.

Makes sense. If I’d been on it, I’d be all over that Wendy P.

Dude, nearly everyone here is an expert in their field. That it may not be your field doesn’t really mean it doesn’t matter. After all, a plumber is just a grunt until you need one, and if your posting stream is full of using “plumber” as a pejorative you might find them not giving you top priority. Wendy P.

Your use of the word narrative vs information, and your willingness to derive a world view from personal accounts (an even more limited source than media by its very nature) speak volumes. You, along with others your age, do not, in fact, know everything. Im not saying I do, just that looking at stuff that doesn’t pander, and that doesn’t rely on individual narratives vs data collection, seems to respect the concept that I acknowledge that some of what I don’t know is important. Wendy P.

Whats a shitlib? Wendy P.

So then is Musk buying ads for the Super Bowl with personal money a sign of USAID corruption? That’s some weird shit. Internews goes back to 1982; its primary stated purpose is to support independent media throughout the world. Its finances are publicly available (that whole silly transparency thing). I’m not sure why Mike Benz is such an authority, except that he makes it “clear” that if a right-leaning guy isn’t making it, it’s because the system is rigged against him. Wendy P.

Personally I find that different world view to be educational in a good way; I have a couple of other conservative friends that I can talk politics with. One of the big differences is who they give the benefit of doubt to — which makes it clear to me that I have to pay attention to whom I give the benefit of doubt. And it’s good because it educates me without beating me around the ideological head and shoulders. That approach rarely leads to mutual understanding; the zero sum approach to discussion Wendy P.

I think he’s saying it looks like an ugly clusterfuck, based on personal experience. Wendy P.

One law for thee, another for me Wendy P.

I’m a moderator, and no I wasn’t told about the site changing to the new name. It was a surprise, but I still have the green border. So I’ll say that personal attacks are still not allowed. I don’t see any evidence of your post being edited by anyone besides you. I sure didn’t edit it. Billvon isn't here yet, so it wasn’t him. And Meso, who is the administrator, hasn’t logged on since Sunday. So no calling people stupid. You can call their ideas stupid, but not the people. That’s still listed in the forum rules. Next one gets a warning. Meso, feel free to tell me I’m wrong. Wendy P.

Sharron is on Facebook; if you’re there or know someone who is you should be able to contact her Wendy P.

What a great write up about a real pioneer of the sport Wendy P. -
And now lower-level employees of the Justice department who were involved in the prosecution of Trump have been summarily fired. Story Civil servants are being asked who they voted for in 2024. Story And all grants and loans have been paused for an "alignment review." Story. We're going to change as a society. It's not going to be better for little people, as the rich and powerful will have more personal power. But hey, as long as it's hurting someone else today, who cares who it hurts tomorrow? It's just proof that he who holds the gun writes the laws, and can change them. So there goes the "ruled by laws." Wendy P.

That he is. Wendy P.
