If not lethal fights, what about non-leathal historical sword duels where it ends in first blood or a minor injury like in France. You have to sign an agreement you want to participate in the leathal or non-leathal gladiator/sword dual.

What should be the prize for the winning the entire event or how should we structure it? Should we throw the prisoners doing a life sentence and let them fight for a second chance at freedom? The model Trophy wife/husband sitting in front of them being fed grapes? Or a $200 million cash prize?

It will take place in a beautiful golden dome. I was thinking money or a reduced life sentence.

kamala got 74 million votes in 2024. she said trump won due to sexism against her and racism against her color.

indeed she got 7 million less votes than biden the same democrat but white+man- despite population grew. which explanation do you believe?

Take a close look at the screen name, besides the bar tending experience, I have also made wine. I've drank wine in some of those famous regions/vineyards of the world. Actually, at this point I think all of the most famous except France. In my humble opinion... There's a clear difference between a $10 bottle and a quality wine, sometimes... But once it's over $50 up to whatever you can imagine, there is no difference... What do you think?

Funny story, a place I used to work at in New York City, if we didn't have the grape varietal the person I asked for, they were just lie and pour the same color into whatever carafe and tell them they found a bottle. No one ever knew.

Or are you still living at home and enjoying it?
🏠 God I sure hope some of you are contributing to rent or not making your Olds doing all your chores and errands and cleaning up for you.

Not just one, but having both at the same time.

Most of them live in the northern parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, where viruses like Ebola and cholera are everywhere. They are poor because they were French colonies, and their native languages have disappeared. They have no industry. They don't work in air-conditioned offices; they farm under the blazing sun in 50-degree heat. Their countries are strategic battlegrounds for the United States, China, and France. There are constant coups and instability, and it is these people who pay the price. They are looked down upon even by their fellow Muslims. (Racism against Black people is quite common in Berber and Arab countries.)

Because they are Muslims, they are automatically branded as pedophiles, rapists, terrorists who behead people and blow themselves up. (Black Christians are nowhere near as disadvantaged.)

When they try to move abroad and build a new life through hard work, they arrive before everyone else and leave after everyone else, yet they still endure those contemptuous looks.

Even in a CS game, when I introduced myself as a Black Muslim, the very first words I heard were the N-word, "pedophile," and "terrorist."

In this world, they have no one to turn to except Allah.

I’ve seen a lot of people argue that MAGA represents the greater threat to America, while I am considerably more concerned about the Democratic Socialists of America and the political system they ultimately want to build.

American politics is increasingly framed as a fight between two supposed extremes. Critics of MAGA regularly describe it as fascist, while Trump and other Republicans accuse the socialist left of communism or communist ideology.

I don’t think either label should replace looking at what the movements actually advocate.

I support MAGA and voted for President Trump. I reject the claim that supporting his agenda means America is inevitably becoming fascist.

My concern about the DSA comes from its own published objectives. The organization advocates replacing capitalism with democratic socialism, drafting a new constitution, and establishing a democratic socialist republic. Democratic socialism and communism are not identical ideologies, but the DSA is explicitly anti-capitalist and seeks a fundamentally different political and economic system from the one America has today.

So while political rhetoric increasingly makes the conflict sound like “fascism vs. communism/socialism,” I’m interested in comparing the actual movements.

Which worries you more about gaining greater power and influence over the United States: MAGA or the DSA—and why?

I think you will not be allowed to own anything. No guns. No freedom of Speech. No religions. Constitution will be rewritten or amended. Forced vaccinations. Chips will be installed in every American for tracking. We will be eating fake foods. Prison time if you are critical of any political leader. Gated communities. Look at what Trump gets by with now. What will next President do?

I watched a documentary on Mussolini and it was like Trump to a T. Scary really. Mussolini was legit his first 15 years and so was Trump his first 4 years. Then Wham-O , then all out Fascism.

I approve of the constitutional republic created by the Founding Fathers and developed through the Constitution and its amendments. I support preserving its basic framework: separation of powers, checks and balances, federalism, Congress, the presidency, an independent judiciary, elections, individual rights, and the constitutional amendment process.

That does not mean I believe the system is perfect or that every institution, law, court ruling, or politician should be beyond criticism. Reform is possible within the constitutional system the Founders created.

What I strongly oppose is replacing that system altogether.

That is one reason I oppose the Democratic Socialists of America. The DSA’s current program says it is fighting to “draft a new constitution” and “create a democratic socialist republic.”

I do not want America transformed into a democratic socialist republic under a new constitutional order. I want to preserve the constitutional republic we already have and resolve our political disagreements through the institutions and amendment procedures it provides.

So I’m curious where everyone else stands: Do you fundamentally approve of our current constitutional system, or would you prefer that it eventually be replaced with a different political order?

Since Trump likes to revoke all previous Presidents agreements and policies. I would revoke her citizenship and claim according to Trump immigration policy , she is an illegal. If we were lucky maybe Trump would leave US.

PS , did you read her buke?

I am sure those hats were made outside of US and paid for by Taxpayers. The man can waste more money on trash than drunk sailors.

1) It is illegal for him to run again. However , he shits on the Constitution every day. Hates rule of law. Has no respect for Supreme Court and Judges. Never listens to House or Senate. Doesn't believe in States Rights. Basically a dictator that hates sharing power.

2) It is for Eric Trump , which plans to run in 2028 .

3) It could be to make Democrats and Indpendents upset.

Over the last couple of decades I've learned the hard way. Intervention with a domestic abuse incident in the street which got me attacked by the woman & the male and arrested when police arrived for battery of a man and a woman. Luckily witnesses and cctv backed me up.

Helping a black woman change a tyre on the highway. Only to be given attitude as though I was tripple A.

Seen a guy pull a chick back from an oncoming car only for him to get a slap in the face. Should have let the car hit her.

Was with a buddy of mine, a woman reversed into him at the lights damaging his bumper and his. She had it in reverse gear to change lanes or whatever. He spoke to them and they both took pics and she apologised admitting fault, he decided the damage was minor to him so no need to get the insurance people involved, but her rear was a mess. Next day the sheriff arrived to arrest him for a hit and run the woman had reported. She and three other witnesses had been to hospital fof whiplash. They were all expecting a massive insurance claim and her car repaired for free. He had a dash cam, caught the whole thing.

For myself I won't help any woman that isn't my wife, daughter, mother, sister or friend. Maybe an inlaw depending

The Democratic Socialists of America openly advocates major constitutional changes, including drafting a new constitution and creating a democratic socialist republic.

The current Constitution makes changes like that extremely difficult. Article V generally requires two-thirds support to propose amendments and ratification by three-fourths of the states, with even stronger protection for equal state representation in the Senate.

My argument is not that a handful of democratic socialists could take office tomorrow and simply abolish the Constitution.

My concern is what could happen over time if a movement committed to replacing major parts of the current system continually gained voters, elected more candidates, controlled more state governments, expanded its influence in Congress and other institutions, and eventually accumulated levels of political power that seem unrealistic today.

Some people argue that the Constitution’s safeguards are strong enough that the DSA could never realistically accomplish its most radical goals.

I disagree. Constitutional safeguards are strong, but I do not believe they are an absolute guarantee forever regardless of how much political and institutional power a movement eventually gains. Political movements organize specifically to turn goals that are impossible today into possibilities tomorrow.

So I believe Americans should take an organization’s stated long-term constitutional goals seriously before it ever acquires enough power to attempt them.

I prefer no but if they do talk to me they can only say hi and bye and leave alone. I don't want to be bothered at all.
