Greenland Inquiry

I don't understand why Trump's sights are on Greenland. Is it coveting of some unique rare earth minerals? I've not heard any plausible basis for their focus on Greenland.

Anonymous claims to have evidence of election

interference by Elon Musk that swayed the prior election results in Trump's favor.

How are you doing DU?

I recall following the last election being so stunned at the results. One thing I read that stuck with me was that attention to social issues are generally a by product of privilege. I had never thought about it in those terms before. It was an explanation of the results suggesting a lot of people were financially struggling, which was a major influence on the results.

Since the election, I have gone from financially comfortable to precarious currently at best. I feel as though I am dancing on the edge of a cliff. So even though Trump's absurdities are worsening, honestly, it doesn't affect me like it did. How are you doing this evening DU?

Michelle Obama a no-show?

A scheduling conflict ay? Hmmm .. please correct me if I am wrong but Michelle Obama is fed up perhaps and incapable of constructing a facade?

Loved that W didn't acknowledge Trump.

Much respect to Jimmy Carter, a true statesman

We are in a new & dangerous political climate.

Here's when I knew:

I live in a rural area of a deep red state. Shortly after our move here, I was stunned at the sight of a Confederate flag on Main Street. I emailed the mayor an objection and received no response. Shortly after, our neighbor across the street from us, put up a BIG confederate flag secured to their their front porch facing my house. It was the home of the police chief's son. I don't think that was a coincidence. Message received.

Republicans know what's coming in November.

The message out of Kansas was loud and clear! Expect an unusually high turnout. EVERYONE I talk to on this issue conveys disgust at the lack of exceptions for rape or incest in our state!! I live in a red red state and they often mention the story about the 10 year old as an added wrong which should be corrected!

We have an opportunity to send a message in November! I can't wait!!

DU, I have an idea re: Roe v Wade

We have been told the votes do not exist to codify Roe v Wade as a federal right via federal law. But what if we took one aspect of it which is very likely to pass and nullify no exceptions for rape or incest. It's the most insidious aspect. Force a vote.

Would Republicans actually rally in opposition?

Let them try the 'God's will' justification.

It would boldly illustrate how out of touch they are with the American people.
