I think I’ll spend the day watching WW2 movies about warriors and common folk fighting fascists.
I saw the remake of ALL QUITE ON THE WESTERN FRONT.
Should be required viewing for MAGAs.
All Quiet on the Western Front (German: Im Westen nichts Neues, lit.?’Nothing New in the West’) is a 2022 German epic anti-war film based on the 1929 novel by Erich Maria Remarque. It is the third film adaptation of the book, after the 1930 and 1979 versions. Co-written, directed and co-produced by Edward Berger, it stars Felix Kammerer, Albrecht Schuch, Daniel Brühl, Sebastian Hülk, Aaron Hilmer, Edin Hasanovic, and Devid Striesow.
Set during World War I, it follows the life of an idealistic young German soldier named Paul Bäumer. After enlisting in the German Army with his friends, Bäumer finds himself exposed to the realities of war, shattering his early hopes of becoming a hero as he does his best to survive.
Published in 1929. The 2022 film was one several over the years.
Ooooh never mind. I posted before reading you whole post.
Thanks Frank. I will do my best to survive the second Trump administration. I send Good luck and best wishes to Democracy and the United States of America. May they too survive the second Trump administration.
Wow, the police told him to take it down. He should have burned it to represent the First Amendment going up in flames…
Here is an opposing view to all of you who are depressed by our new President.
I judge my leaders not by what they say, it is what they accomplish.
Day one is almost done and I love the executive orders that have been signed.
Next month gas prices will start dropping.
I am pleased to have a president that has made it a policy that there are only two genders male and female.
I look forward to having RFK shut down big pharma. By the way Everything Kennedy said about the HogWash virus has been confirmed by a congressional report issued a couple of months ago while brain dead Biden was President.
Cannabis will be legalized on the federal level this year thanks to Trump.
Four years ago you all felt that Trump would not step down. You all cowered in panic on Jan. 6th declaring a relatively non violent political protest was an insurrection.
Four years later, “He’s back”
Rich, drugs are bad. Stop doing crack.
1) You have no proof gas prices will drop, only time will tell.
2) The whole “2 genders” thing is proof that there is no plan for the GOP to actually do
anything about bringing prices down or “fixing” a (not) broken economy, only to
advance division and social wars. Why do Americans have to have YOUR (and the
GOP) beliefs rammed down everyone’s throat. Live and let live should be a motto for
the “party of freedoms” (what a joke).
3) Trump nor RFK will “bring down” big Pharma, there’s just too much money in it and
everyone with an IQ higher than room temperature knows that Trump will do
anything
for a buck.
4) Four years ago Trump thought he had a 2nd term locked up, he didn’t go quietly then,
and he won’t go quietly in 2029.
5) I feel sad for you that you actually think 1/6/20 was “mostly peaceful”. Try as you
might, you can’t rewrite history.
I do hope you’re right and this time around Cheeto Jesus does actually do something good. At least one or two things. I just find it difficult to believe that someone selling $100,000 watches, ripoff guitars, $100 bibles, $300 (ugly) sneakers really cares about what anyone else is paying at the grocery store. The GOP is completely out of touch with every day people.
Cheeto Jesus. That’s rich. I prefer criminal rapist. As the old saying goes… “Elect a clown, you get a circus.” Should be an interesting ride…
Tough time not to be a rich white male. Good luck Amerikkka. See your tattered stripes in four years..
LOL gas prices dropping. The national avg has been dropping since April. With the corporate fascists in control, everyone in Washington is for sale. The attendees at the inauguration should have taught you that. But since your for pot, against pharma, and think J6 was non-violent, that’s a pretty good indication of kool-aid intoxication.
F.U.
The fact that we can disagree without name calling signals to me that we are healing together.
Good men and women in our Republic can always disagree as to what the future holds. The words we write today will be the context with which we judge what has happened.
Your writing is well organized and your thoughts easily perceived.
Americans has taken a radical change in the direction of government. This not an end or beginning it is just a continuation of the history America.
I know that you and I have this in common we hope “this time around Cheeto Jesus does actually do something good…”
No, Rich Riel. I posted your comment to show our readers how Trumpists think. This is not a mere disagreement; you believe in an American fascist who wants to bring fascism to America and end our democracy and republic, but who will be somewhat constrained by this thing we call the Constitution. So, no Rich Riel, we are on opposite sides and you have lost your privilege of commenting here at the Rag. If it walks and quacks like a duck, it’s a ….
“healing together”? Man, Rich, you are delusional. The current Felon in Chief is the most divisive American politician that I can think of……EVER.
Remember how Nixon began his second term, which he won easily, riding high and seeming invincible? Remember how he ended it standing at the presidential podium for the last time tearfully rambling on about his parents? The guy is headed for the same ignominy. Karma is a bitch, always has been, always will be.
But remember, Nixon only resigned because Barry Goldwater and the Republican leadership told him if he didn’t resign he would be removed from office. Could that happen today?
Well, Barry Goldwater died years ago.
I don’t expect rump will last 4 yrs He may die in office, or become incapable. He will not be able to be impeached again untill at least 2026 providing the Dems take back the congress, right now he pretty much has free reign. He’ll be 82 when his time is up and if he is still with us he’ll be looking for a 3rd term, the arguement will be the consitutional amendment means consecutive terms. At that point
it will go to court and it may be his court he may appoint 2 more surpremes and then he will have appointed the majority of the court. I always wondered how Germany let Hitler happen. Adolf was a convicted felon who served time and also led an attempted coup.
The next 4 yrs should, if nothing else, be an interesting time in our history.
Thanks Stu. The “free rein” is constrained by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. As long as we can remain a nation of laws. He cannot at this point legally run for a 3rd term, but by then, who knows — maybe by then the Constitution will be “suspended” and he could remain.
Ah, the comic relief has arrived, and with such an impressive list to share with us of what he thinks is going to happen.
A couple of questions for ya, dude:
>Do you read anything else except Trump propaganda?
>How are the jackboots going to house, feed, and transport millions of illegal immigrants? And secondly, who’s going to grow and pick and pack and ship your food much less raise and slaughter the meat you eat ?
>Who do you think sets gas prices? You do know it’s the oil executives that do that? Think they want to make LESS money?
>Two genders? Have you no knowledge of hermaphrodites who are born with BOTH?
>What is the “HogWash’ virus? A new strain of swine flu?
>Legalize cannabis? Trump? What makes you think that?
>Four years ago Trump tried REAL HARD to not step down. Did you ever watch the videos taken on the vicious attack of the Capitol Building?
>Yes he’s back. Like a hemorrhoid…
Here’s what one of the cops has to say:

What is it today? Day…73 or something like that? Not even three months and the Fascist coup seems like it’s been going on for…months. Or maybe years? Oh wait, it HAS been going on for years but people just really didn’t want to notice. We who remember the 60s, and those that remember the 50s House UnAmerican witch hunts. It really has been going on for years…
Now we are getting to see witch hunts for people that support the Constitution, or tell the truth about the Dear Leader.
But hey, we are going to get to pay for a hell of a parade, aren’t we?
Because President ‘Suckers and Losers’ whose daddy bought a doctor to say he had ‘Bone Spurs’ when his Vietnam draft came around, orders a huge North Korean-style military parade in DC ON HIS BIRTHDAY.
Can you image the howls of outrage if Biden had done this?
But first, a little reminder of what Fascism is:
