  1. What's new in this club
  2. Of course. And for all the documentation and awareness those corporate abusers have documented and shared there is little to no change in the behavior of the general public. The sci-fi trend of the intergalactic being run by corporations didn't just start when Trump became President. This has been the trend for a long, long time. The people just sit back and allow it. This is what prompts fiction writers to envision those dystopian futures. Hell, the other day I saw someone on LinkedIN refer to themselves as having a career in Human Capital Management. While people are resources, it really negates the humanity of it when you begin to refer to them as the same as a fleet of vehicles, etc.
  3. I didn't ask you to buy a ticket. What do you want me to do with your humor? 🤣
  4. Those corporate abusers have been and continue to be well documented over the years. And all those regulations, instigated by an activist and caring population and a media that cared about their public trust responsibilities, were on the books to keep them accountable. But they are the among GOP’s largest donors (thanks Citizens United) and this corrupt administration knows where their bread is buttered. Trump literally offered oil companies roll backs in pollution regulations and unlimited drilling on federal lands in exchange for $1b in donations to his campaign and they are just keeping their promises to the big polluters.
  5. Like in the late night club of a small rural town in the middle of nowhere comedy? Because.. it's not funny? But somehow you know that the powers that be in those areas have some really good access to golf.
  6. Laughable. That said, an activist and caring population would document corporations that abuse pollution controls and the public would force a change. But we all know that won't happen as that takes work. More work at least than being outraged that a transgender influencer doing a Bud Light commercial. The phrase that pays. Water, essential for life! Until you breathe it.
  7. Should be known as SEPA: as in Screw the EPA. But sadly, it’s par for the course as the Project 25 ideology continues to be implemented. Borders on criminal, imo. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5424434-trump-epa-zeldin-climate-change-denial/
  8. Your last sentence kind of answers your first imo, but yeah, the presidential security protocols are very strict. As they should be. Having spent nearly 30 years in the DC area, I can attest how every presidential motorcade that I witnessed shut down traffic and if you’ve ever experienced the impact on DC traffic during your morning/evening commutes, you could certainly relate. That said, in discussions I’ve had with retired Secret Service agents in the past, Trump’s frequent demands put so much more stress on local law enforcement than other presidents did in the past. Especially when his movements in and around Mara Lago are very predictable.
  9. This is a comedy thread.
  10. This happens for every president, where ever they go. Does it really matter how much he golfs? This really comes across as a desperate reach for things to criticize about Trump when there are so many more obvious and more important criticisms to be made.
  11. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/21/jeffrey-epstein-maria-farmer-trump "Jeffrey Epstein accuser urged FBI to investigate Trump decades ago"
  12. Fair of you to ask. No thoughts, just sharing articles from left wing pundits that otherwise would never see the light of day in our tiny corner of the internet. Whether the trade deal with the EU turns out to be positive or negative remains to be seen.
  13. https://didtrumpgolftoday.com/ Straight comedy, tracks how much Trump golfs. I do know every time he goes back to Mara Largo the whole police squad sets up all along the whole route hiding under bridges and overpasses to make sure nothing happens.
  14. Add summary or thoughts? Add summary or thoughts? Add summary or thoughts? No. I actually don't remember that. When was the last time character was the first trait the people sought in a President? I think that's a really good question. Who was the last President that would fit that statement? Even those who seem to have been of good character eventually have their skeletons revealed. I'm not sure the American people have valued character for a long, long time. It's not a surprise to me given the idolatry they've demonstrated.
  15. As the old adage about golf goes, it reveals character. People in the NY area, especially, have been well acquainted with Trump’s character for decades now. When you purposely stiff thousands of contractors with the deliberate strategy to not pay them, force them to sue, and then have them settle for amounts less than what you originally contracted to pay them, word gets around. Or when you’ve declared bankruptcy a half dozen times, associate with and have Russian mobsters live in your building, and then shortly thereafter switch to an all cash business model because your credit is shot and banks refuse to issue the loans that you bragged about previously, people take notice. Remember when character was the first trait we sought in a president? It amazes me how our American electorate has changed, but it’s no surprise in the least given the media ownership laws we have here.

  20. Trump lying? Who’d have thunk it? Everyone in that administration lies with alacrity. Gabbard told a few whoppers in order to bolster the case against Obama and several former CIA and FBI operatives. Too bad that pesky bipartisan Senate committee report that Marco Rubio chaired and the Mueller report refute everything Gabbard and the ridiculous GOP House report says.
  21. This is the end of this thread.
  22. https://www.buzzfeed.com/alexalisitza/reddit-maga-voter-needs-medicaid I said months ago that the GOP needed to understand the demographics of who benefits from Medicaid and where. Apparently, their own constituents aren’t much aware, either. It truly sucks that anyone will be getting kicked off of their vital medical insurance, but the selfishness exhibited by the particular Medicaid recipient in Iowa cited in the attached article is often too indicative. Until they came for me indeed.
