The problem: America is full of people. Some places appear more civilized because the crap is covered over with a layer of civility but underneath it's the old problem.

But some day that will change.

A major problem with and in America is the Reps keep moving further and further right and dragging the country with it.
How much longer until the Wall is meant to keep us in?

I don't understand why it should be an issue. If they want to go, why not?

It's Constitutionally prohibited following Southern Succession and the Civil War.

There's nothing to stop Texans moving.

Moving's expensive.

I'd like to get the hell out of Iowa, but it would be very, very hard.

The movement in Texas to become an independent nation appears to be growing. Of course they can't do it unless the rest agree but there's a certain pleasure in thinking Sayonara.

I like having Texas being a state,
if only because it vexes them so.

Sigh. I thought I had found all the clean-up the contractor needed to do. Wrong. For example, a tripping hazard because the coping was not installed flat. It's a really good thing they don't have the final payment.

America has distinct problems. Like a tradition on religious lunacy. Evolution denial is distinctly American in the Western world. Much of the Western would also would have treated my conditions instead of insurance deciding my fate with expensive bills ($700 now at one doctor) and thumbs down. LGBT rights and abortion are more secure. There's less nationalism.
Take it from me, Indiana compared to Indiana are different problems, not the same old problems.

I'm going to have a normal, quiet Saturday night.

I do not know what we are looking at. Death Star stickers?

The cover to the vault where the pool cover is stored when retracted. The stickers were anti slip but wore off

If Trump gets his good friend Vince McMahon to sponsor a cage match between Putin and Zelensky, who do you think would end up with Ukraine?

Would Elon Musk finance the loser's one way ticket into space?

Tomorrow is partially my day - it has "Sun" in its name.

In a 100 metre race between Donald Trump and Usain Bolt, who would win.

Neither one would win. The cameraman would definitely be the winner.

Its about legacy. If US states leave it suggests that republics with equality are a failing prospect. (The same is not true of Europe. Europe is a monetary union somewhat like the Prussias in History.) USA is a union which seeks to be a more perfect union than monarchy, and that is our whole reason for existing. We are the evidence that this whole thing can work, and it matters because countries do try this and fail. Typically it is small ones that try and fail, but there are many failures. The USSR for example fails at this. If USA falls apart once a century then its all for nothing, because no principle has been established and no historical lesson has been left other than that we about as stable as a top. This affects discourse about politics for millennia. Plato laughs at us in his grave.

What else do you think he's doing in there?

 

[Secret Chief]

****.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Trumpers are total **** at thinking everyone is like them. One of my trans friends, she got called a Trump supporter, and last night I had another wanker thinking I, looking as I do with an appearance that conservatives don't really take to (lots of people who are against both parties who look like me, however), support that treasonous puke for anything more than a one way trip to the gallows.

Since this is a political thread now, there's a meme running through the internet that Biden should quit and make Harris POTUS for a week or two before the end of his term. I find that thought form to be an attractive idea not that it would actually happen of course.

Blair did that in the UK and let Brown take the reigns. Only for 3 years.
