(5,751 posts)It's so tragic. And now we get to look forward to worldwide bacterial infections with no available antibiotics. Every time you get an earache, you would worry about possible imminent death.
Something is terribly wrong, and unfortunately, it's only going to get worse.

Don't forget, John Wayne Gary was a clown. A clown with malignant intent is no joke.

(115,584 posts)Just a few years ago, even Bush would have had his ass handed to him if he'd said something like that in public. Now it's apparently considered a mainstream belief that is acceptable for the frontrunner of one of the major political parties to express. And the "base" is just eating it up.
I read the news today, oh boy.... When I heard about this I really wanted to become a hermit. Move to a cabin in the woods with no TV or Internet. I can't stand how fucking bad it's all become.

(18,652 posts)First I rented a farmhouse in OR with nothing but woods and farm fields around, and a few houses. The guy next door was a crop duster. At one point I lived in the wilderness of BC Canada but the harsh winters and mosquitoes in summer were too much. Also, the logging was out of control, and in fall the loggers burned the slash and the whole valley I lived in was filled with smoke. I had a baby at the time and it was no place for either of us. There is no shangri-la out there anymore. The good land in a good climate is taken and crowded. Maybe S. America?

(8,200 posts)While the article was not overtly complimentary, it was very selective in carefully not printing the most objectionable statements. The headline for the article is also revealing: "Trump tries to clarify remarks about refugees." This is typical fare that deflects from what he actually said in a attempt to insinuate to a certain extent that perhaps he was misquoted or misspoke. It emphasized that he said that he was only talking about surveillance of Syrians who would be admitted if the Republicans failed to prevent Obama from allowing them to immigrate. The article related that He even went as far as saying that he had trouble hearing the NBC's reporters question without questioning his truthfulness when it is very clear that he heard it loud and clear.

(750 posts)Every American could possibly be implanted with an RFID, we all can have a quick response code. Yes to be fair everybody gets a tag.
Then the government could sweep any area to find where you are or where you have been, or who you are close to.
So, there goes that feeling that you are secure in your possessions. Its incredible that Trump can stump and make a mockery of the Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution that prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause.
Or Trump is going to shit can religion, or peaceful assembly the first amendment. It amazing how the media, or journalist in the media do not relate that political pledge as a violation in basic constitutional rights.
Trump has turned into a leader, in the pack of crack pots. However, many can argue that is his job. Done to avoid and distract from the real Nazi profiteering war family, Bush Crime Inc.
Or, Trump knows if Bush Crime Inc. can get away with war profiteering so can he

(38 posts)After WW2, Nazi propaganda was studied at length to discover how a nation of normal people could be driven to take up arms and attack other countries. If you find one, you will see that the Republicans have been using their exact methods for years, down to the smallest detail.
A side affect of constant lies by the media, has been to turn many of our people into the most susceptible to lies in the world. A recent study found that when given placebos in drug trials, only an average of %9 of people in other countries believed the placebo worked. The rate for Americans was %24. Being the only major country that allows TV adds for prescription drugs, shows that, as Hitler claimed, tell a simple, easy to remember lie often and people will believe it.

(750 posts)Very interesting statistic, that is the %24 the effect of constant lies by the American media being persuaded via national television.
I agree, and would consider a probable increase in that stat to say %42 within the new age of perpetual political grandstanding by the complicit media.
Trust and verify includes that number of Romneys prediction that class of citizen can be easily convinced to vote against their interest.
Your studies do relate to my personal experience in corporate America. It has turned into a long term challenge of mine to expose a popular mainstream mathematical concept as the Gaussian when used in the wrong way will induce fascism to the American culture.
With a laugh and a chuckle future Calculus books may very well need to have a disclaimer like cigarettes may cause cancer, or the Gaussian my cause severe fascist chaos.
But more striking, the adds for prescription drugs are in a new level of corruption. It puzzles me how any citizen could accept an advertisement that admits their drug can cause cancer or tendency to suicide. Or, recommendations by organizations such as the AARP, a system that was created by Congress that needs reform. Better to be eliminated.
The AARP advertisement that shows a pin ball guided by rails that illustrates to boomers the really good deal which is in conflict to good intentions because plan B is out dated over due to be merged into the general plan A.
In contrast drug advertisements may also need have that Hollywood rating system for parental guidance. Always wondered why the number thirteen or PG13 were are parents strongly cautioned, a rating in the Voluntary Movie Rating System indicating that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
Wouldnt it be interesting as a quality standard in breaking news that some measure must be introduced by the media to understand if that PG13 Voluntary Movie Rating is violated, or ignored, or abused by parents of problem children.
More and more critics do realize even the basic new sound entertainment systems are relational to the new THX quality. Yet a huge controversy is in play for home sound quality systems that Bose is a charade and over-priced marketing scheme where money is wasted in a grand scale.
There is no business like show business Republicans know...
