Frankly I hope it never becomes normal to want civil war, to hang your perceived enemies, to demonize a race or political party simply because they are the other side. But to stand against those things does not mean to fall prey to those things. It means to speak out against them. Truth and sunlight is the cleanser. And at some point you have to show your face for that. At some point you have to show people what you are and who you are. That takes courage. That takes showing your face. If you can't show your face because it is violent and full of hate then keep it in the dark along with the rest of your hate. But don't pretend to be anything but a coward. If you have to hide then there is something wrong in you that you are hiding and you know it. The rest of us do too.

If you should be taking anything away from this, Tocky, it's that it's time to get your friends and family off Facebook. And while it's nice that you're attempting to openly converse with a moronic troll, your energies would be better spent on someone who's actually approaching conversations in good faith.
Either way, it's not a contest, but if it were - Starker wins, because Farscape always wins. <3

there are no winners here today, but we have learnt a truth. Sweet soft rock will continue to be the enemy of the conservative state of mind,

And the premier said he will phase it out now? Way to bend the knee to a baby whining. Then again there is no telling what a baby without a memory will do. Check out this lie where he forgot who was running the government for four years prior to the 2020 election.

LOL I just watched the ad. It is Ronald Reagan speaking about how wrong tariffs are and that they will wreck the economy and only demagogues are for them. His own words on video for real and no AI. It's even kept at the Reagan foundation. The Reagan foundation is angry that his audio was used but can't deny that it was him so they say it was edited. They are correct. The full video is worse for Trump. He tells of the history of the great depression and how it proved tariffs were wrong.
Talk about a hilarious self own.

I'll bet a 100 dolla' that Trump calls Xi Jinping a yellow menace.

Trump's week in Asia: BBC correspondents on the wins and potential losses
US President Donald Trump has arrived in Asia for a whirlwind week of diplomacy, which includes a much-anticipated meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.
Top of the agenda will be trade – an area where tensions between the world's two biggest economies have once again been ramping up.
Trump landed in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, as a summit for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or Asean, begins on Sunday. He will then visit Japan and finally South Korea, where the White House says he will meet Xi.
So what are the wins Trump and other leaders are hoping for, and what are the pitfalls?
Our correspondents explain what you should know about the week ahead.
For Trump, China is the key
By Anthony Zurcher, North America correspondent
Inking new trade deals that provide opportunities to American businesses while keeping the tariff revenue flowing into the US Treasury is sure to be a central focus of Trump's Asia trip.
While there are multiple players in the global trade dance, the key to Trump's success or failure is China. And Trump's scheduled meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the sidelines of Apec – the first since 2019 – could set the course for US-China relations for the rest of Trump's second term in office.
As the US president has acknowledged, draconian tariffs on Chinese imports are unsustainable. And while he has not explicitly said so, an escalating economic war with America's largest trading partner would have devastating consequences – for the US, for China and for the rest of the world.
The steep tumbles in the major US stock indexes every time China and the US appear at an impasse underlines this reality.
When he heads back to America next week, Trump is sure to be pleased if he is able to finalise a deal with South Korea and secure new Japanese investment in US manufacturing.
But his top priority is sure to be convincing Xi to resume purchases of American agricultural exports, loosen recent restrictions on foreign access to Chinese rare earth materials, give US companies greater access to the Chinese market and avoid a full-blown trade war.
For Trump, as the saying goes, that's the whole ballgame.

No. Trump saves his racist insults of other leaders for his base as a bone to throw for their racism. What he will do with Xi is to beg for some deal which will be good optics for his base like soybeans since farmers have been most hurt by that. Xi will then okay it as long as the US pays twice as much for other products than it has been paying like rare earth minerals. His base will dismiss that but since they are used in chips and solar panels it will hurt, just in a quieter way he can distract his voters from paying attention to. The price of cars and computer equipment and power will rise but Republicans will deny that. It will be a big deal. The biggliest. The greatest deal in deal history. And he will have his farmers back on his side. If he can do it. Xi may decide not to give him the optics. Then again the extra money he gets may be enough and he may decide that Trump is a useful idiot and should be encouraged to attempt to hold on to power and make the US look bad in the eyes of the world.
