Fact is, I'm terrified of the future.

I terrified of the present. Being of the terrified of the future can wait until the future happens.

That Nazi post was blatant bigotry, a personal attack of the worst kind and has no place IMO on this site.

 

I terrified of the present.

I'm giddy.

 

I am not going to engage in politics, but have you seen his executive orders? It is open season on people like me.

 

I'm giddy.

You're right i'm not really terrified. I'm happy to be living in interesting times.

 

I am not going to engage in politics, but have you seen his executive orders? It is open season on people like.

Executive orders can't overrule constitutional protections and law. The people being arrested for being here illegally and deported have broken the law (long settled law). I'll be on your side when that's not true.

How can anyone like a picture of Nazi goons rounding up people for possible murder?

 

I am not going to engage in politics...

... and, yet, you just did.

 

When you are afraid for your life it's hard to keep quiet.

Very few executive orders change policy immediately, and they cannot change laws passed by Congress or protections guaranteed by the Constitution. As of January 21, 2025 it is unclear how the Trump administration will enforce this order as applied to educational settings, health care access, housing, federally-funded programs, and many other areas where federal law or policy references “sex” or “gender.”

Looks more like a fundraiser issue for all sides.

Does this mean a political debate is allowed? Is this official AAC policy? Just this topic, or any? TOS change?

I'm all for it. Start a new thread!

 

No. I've had my say, You've had yours. Drop it.

 

No..

Then stop it.

 

No. I've had my say, You've had yours. Drop it.

I didn't say anything.

 

And yet, you just did. Drop it or else.

 

Tonight Venus and the Moon looked spectacular together ... one's gotta enjoy life's little moments

 

Back to the future.

It won't be removed, then if it's OK as a perfectly acceptable response posting, I'll use this picture as a response to your postings I don't like.

German soldiers rounding up Polish civilians, Sept 1939

EDITORS COMMENTS
September 1939: German Soldiers Rounding Up Polish Civilians in Gdynia, Poland Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Battle of Gdynia, German soldiers are seen "mopping up" the last remnants of Polish resistance in this poignant photograph. Taken in the crucial port city of Gdynia, this image captures the harsh reality of the invasion of Poland during World War II. The Battle of Gdynia, fought in September 1939, was one of the major battles in northern Poland. The town itself was a vital defensive stronghold for the Polish forces, and its capture by the Germans was a significant strategic victory. In this photograph, German soldiers are seen examining Polish civilians, likely checking for any remaining resistance or suspects. The image is a stark reminder of the brutal treatment of civilians during the war. The Polish people were seen as an obstacle to the German war machine, and their lives were often disregarded. The photograph also highlights the stark contrast between the uniformed German soldiers and the civilian population, many of whom were likely frightened and uncertain about their future. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the devastating impact it can have on civilians. It is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Polish people, who continued to resist despite the overwhelming odds against them. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of remembering history and learning from the mistakes of the past.

Completely out of context with the current legal enforcement of immigration laws. Not even remotely connected to reality. A misleading, and IMO classical dodge for a informed response.
