The easy conversations, in my opinion, were the ones had at the No Kings rally in my area. Some percentage, perhaps the larger percentage are TDS and related. My point: these are easy conversations, but likely lack any nuance or substance of real issues that got Trump elected. The Democrats still lack policy discussions which persuaded me to vote republican. I’m not even sure if “plant a garden” conversation is even safe.

Plus they require ~50# of gallium each and China produces 99% of the world’s gallium…so rebuilding them kind of requires China to be open with their supplies.

It is very impressive the strategy that Iran is employing. So they destroy the assets needed for the US ground invasion to be successful. The US should have heeded the Iranian FM who told a CBS journalist that Iran is waiting for the US ground invasion.
That is why all of the former CIA and military commanders are predicting high causalities if the US is stupid enough to attempt to seize Kharg Island which according to Ret Col Daniel Davis, holds no strategic value because if the US lands troops there, all they need to do is shut the flow of oil to the island.
Then those troops will have to deal with a swarm of kamikaze drones heading their way. What a total clusterf##k created by these idiots in charge.

Jan, it’s that widespread affliction “easy conversations” that creates such devastating dis-ease, that causes me enormous distress. Plenty of people still still throw-out the anti-vaccination pejorative without hesitancy as an accepted figure of speech.

Scylla and Charybdis come to mind. Two different perils, each leading to disaster. We knew the path Kamala would have continued. We were betrayed by Trump.

Maybe we could mine the blasted sites for the rare earth minerals.

I really doubt that they are going after Kharg Island. That is a suicide mission. I think it is something else but I am not sure what.

News from Canada: new leader of the federal NDP party. The MST notation I circled is, I believe, reference to his support of the Musqueam First Nation, which tells you all you need to know.

Walberga, I live in Oregon so I’m surrounded by zombies, if you will, but I don’t see them as zombies, at least those characterized by Hollywood. The people I know who participated in the No Kings are loving, caring, and kind. Yes they have been strongly indoctrinated by the mainstream official narratives. Some have some very strong opinions and wear those opinions proudly. I will choose conversations with those carefully.
I still do not know how to have a conversation with these friends (working on it though), but I don’t want to think of them as zombies. I don’t want to de-humanize them as I know what that feels like.

Ok, I’ll bite. Given she force-vaxxed her own campaign staff…and she said that she wouldn’t change a thing that Senile Joe did…that means
Forced-vaxxing would have continued. Another 1.5 million Americans would have died, with another 6 million disabled.
Another 20+ million illegals would have been flown into the country, with everything paid for by us. No donkey would ever lose an election ever again.
We’d probably have another 10 shots added to the CDC schedule too. So autism rates - maybe up by another 10-15%.
And the very latest lab-leaked virus would also have a mandated shot. Bird flu, or whatever. To save grandma once more.
mRNA flu vaxes would be on the childhood schedule too.
That’s the bare minimum. Any problems with that assessment?

Just waiting for you to respond with your assessment of what the Cackler would have done, given the evidence of what she actually did and said.

The No Kings people I saw yesterday are one thing: boring. Talking to them is like talking to an LA Times article, a cable TV show, or a podcast. Try it. Try telling the printed paper your views. Same effect as talking with living breathing people carrying stupid signs to justify their suicidal empathy.
After a conversation with a Believer I usually, out loud, announce that this was a “terrible podcast episode”. Got a few coworkers that are Fox News believers - same story. Boring. No reflective listening; drives me to shut down as a kind of conmunication warfare.
