What is your point?
It's hard to march on Dearborn when you've had a joint replacement. The repeated calls for violence on this anonymous message board are moronic, but I also don't really believe them.

Calling to change the governance of our country? Absolutely.
I hear you. Would you acknowledge that the change of phrase from "take down the United States government" to "change the governance of our country" is doing a lot of work? The first sounds violent, the second less so.

ha--I couldn't take it more than once. Do you agree that in the clips shown, she is "calling on Islam to mobilize and take down the United States government"? If so, and if you have time, explain why?

The situational context is the driver here. Who was she speaking in front of? If it was a Muslim org then she meant Islam. Idk who they were, I’m asking
No idea. I don't know whether the shots of the audience are real. I actually don't know whether the video was real. I suspect it is, because if you're going to fabricate video for clicks, you'd make it a lot more clear.
Did you watch the video?

"It's a classic example of Trump sloppy, open-ended language that allows everyone to grab what they want out of it."
That has the benefit of being accurate.
Is there a post on here suggesting Rep. Tlaib should tighten up her language to avoid misinterpretation? Or did the denizens of This August Forum jump straight to treason, deportation, and hanging?

I'm sorry, I can't listen to her. I don't watch videos from any of those types. Did she really lay it out and say this?
Not my favorite member of Congress, but no, she said nothing like that in the video. She does not mention Islam. She did not call on anyone, much less "Islam" at large, to mobilize and take down the United States government in that video.
Didn't we just have a long thread on how stupid lefties were misinterpreting Trump's "let them take out San Diego" moment?

Great program and opportunity but the $1000 is still only for children born between 2025 and 2028 if I understand correctly.
If your child falls outside the window, is there a benefit to these accounts compared to, say, a 529 (which can often be converted to a Roth IRA if the funds aren't used for education)?

Mine from Claude was long, but here is the summary:
"Net impression. A patient, methodical, somewhat lawyerly commenter with a taste for irony and a preference for primary documents, who is outnumbered on this board and writes accordingly. The one place the register slips is in the very short replies, where the dryness can read as dismissive. The long, source-heavy posts are where the style is strongest."
Clanky at best.

They won’t - You can’t have a term that is literally one of the greatest in history and lose. Trump has done more good in two years than anyone ever has. It’s been amazing - Everyday it’s an impossible accomplishment no one said could be done be he does it. They don’t call him the GOAT because he sucks
The satire accounts on here are rock-solid.

I think Trump was NOT saying it was ok to lose LA and San Diego, but the crowd CHEERING when he said it probably did.
Yeah, that wasn't great. Maybe the crowd understood it as a troll, but there is so much pent-up anger toward MAGA that the trolling will become dangerous at some point.

What I don't get is the idiots who run from democrat cities then vote democrat where they moved to.
That's easy enough to explain: it's because many are "running" from high housing prices. The high housing prices are caused by low supply that does not meet the high demand from the many people who want to live there. So the housing goes to the relatively more wealthy, and the relatively less wealthy move to Texas, Idaho, Utah, or wherever.

This is the typical, Leftist distortion of Trump's words. It's as bad as "the KKK are good people" or "there will be a bloodbath!"
He was just comparing prices of a short-term oil spike vs the loss of American cities due to Iran having a nuclear weapon. The fact that he threw in the navy-city of San Diego means that he wasn't saying "give them a liberal city...that would be OK."
If he had meant that, he would have just said "San Francisco."
Agree that he would have said "San Francisco", and I can kind of get what he's saying, something like "to the naysayers on the war, see how you like it if Iran had a nuke and they took out LA or San Diego". But he said it in a confusing way "let them take out San Diego", and unfortunately the crowd at his rally started cheering when he said that.
This is also against a backdrop of Trump's many, many statements that he is not working for places that didn't vote for him in the same way he is working for places that did.

My even better what if is what if Trump enacts Marshall Law, bans all results and says he will set a new date. What will you do?
Unfortunately, I think we'll be very close to systemic collapse and war if that happens.
I think we would see a federal income tax strike ("no taxation without representation"), or at least people putting off payments. If a tax strike begins to gain traction, self-interest and FOMO ("why should I pay when no one else is paying?") will catalyze it. To the extent the act of invoking martial law hasn't taken down the system already, it won't take too much of a tax-strike phenomenon to spike bond yields and make continued operation of the federal government difficult. A10-20% dip in receipts coupled to a protest movement and martial law will make literally everyone doubt the stability of the United States.
