PD.com forums: a disorganized echo-chamber full of concordian, Greyfaced radical left-wing nutjobs who honestly believe they can take down imaginary Nazis by distributing flyers. They are highly-suspicious of all newcomers and hostile to almost everyone, including themselves. The only thing they don't take seriously is Discordianism.

Quote from: Abbot Mythos on February 03, 2026, 11:05:51 PMNovember 7th, 2028 is a long way off, and a lot is going to happen between now and the U.S. Presidential Election. But, at the time of this posting, I think James Carville knows what he's talking about:
The Democrat James Carville thinks is worth watching in 2028 will surprise you
"Carville says Kamala Harris 'has no chance' in 2028 Democratic primary"
As per this article:
"Asked about whether he could see Harris as the party's standard-bearer in 2028, Carville responded, "She has no chance."
Harris replaced then-President Joe Biden as the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee after Biden dropped his bid in July of that year, a month after a disastrous debate performance against Trump. Harris ended up losing the general election to Trump, who narrowly swept all seven key battleground states.
"No Democrat wants anything to do with anybody that had anything to do with 2024," Carville emphasized, as he reasoned why Harris couldn't win the 2028 nomination. He also questioned whether Harris, the nation's first female and first Black vice president, had the ability to energize the Black community if she launched another White House run.
Carville said that the Democrats' mantra heading into 2028 is "just win," and argued that "if we nominate two white males, nobody's going to give a s---.""
And, I couldn't agree more.

In Nazi Germany the two strongest forces of resistance to the Brownshirts were the jazz fans. Jazz was one of the first things the one balled arsehole banned as it was black music. (Echoes of this in the Bad Bunny fiasco at the Super bowl) Kids took wind up gramophones to parks & beaches to dance in overt acts of public rebellion. They fought running battles with Hitler Youth & SA units. Often utilising those gramophones as weapons.
Florida kids have taken up the cudgel. Don't be like the German parents were & let them stand alone against tyranny.

Made a career out of it. Well out of that & nicking..Well ... given the quotation in the title of the following article, I wouldn't bet the farm on the POSOTUS aiming his catchphrase at a "staffer" today:
Quote from: Mandelbrot Slapper on February 07, 2026, 10:31:50 PMNow I think at this time, as the foundations are laid for rise of The Turd Reich, everyone should read a fabulous early 20th century novel called The Berlin of Sally Bowles by Christopher Isherwood.I'm not familiar with any of the works of Christopher Isherwood. But, I'll put your recommendation on my future reading list.
Lovely depiction of what happens to a dying imperial power's society when the rabble is hungry enough to be thoroughly roused.
There was quite a good Broadway show of it as well. But do read the book.
