Only in the fantasies of people who think Obama is a fascist and all American politician are the same.. I think most Americans have come to a realization that there's not a dime's worth of difference between either of the two political corporations that officially run the country as evidenced by the fact that the majority of people no longer consider themselves Republican or Democrat but independent. Independent Sanders' following in 2016 and 2020 (and fake "progressive" Obama's in 2008) shows the disgust of us social democrats to the far far-right swing of the Democratic party to 100% control now by the pro-war, pro-corporation Neo Libs. (At least Big Dummy cleared the Neo Cons out of his party but most of them have gravitated to join their Neo Lib brethren in the Democratic Party. The Bushes and Cheneys vote for the Democrat now). Political parties are for mindless minions who follow Fox or CNN to get their censored "facts" and political philosophy. People addicted to mindless propaganda to reassure themselves like girls at Howard having to be reassured their sorority is the bestest. The trouble is all this media frenzy always devolves into pro-war frenzy by "both" media sides leading to the extermination of millions of nonwhites at a time. Which sorority can exterminate the most people while shouting some self-righteous excuse. Semi-senile older people still cling to their party identification as a tribal badge (the hilarious fights between gramps and grannies at the Villages on the video the other day). But younger people and older people still with minds have no use for these two corrupt relics. Quote

It depends on the curriculum. My masters degree and undergrad degree were tests and papers. But, I was also going by David Leavett's "Term Paper Artist" about writing papers for blow jobs. Only undergrads. One professor cancelled the final exam for the students because the phoney papers were so good. Quote

The policy was that killed children demoralizes people faster. Why he targeted so many school buses, hospitals and schools with drone attacks.

The Saudi/Obama drone war on Yemen has led to a good 100-200,000 deaths and mass starvation. And Trump is also a pig because he continued this genocide and even ordered the assassination of the 8 year-old little sister.(The only credit I'll give him is he stopped the killing of thousands by the US in Syria and he did try to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan until the NeoLib Dems and NeoCon Repugs balked. ) Conducting child genocide in Yemen disqualifies any president from any respect as a person.

Members Buddy2 Posted June 29, 2020 Members Posted June 29, 2020 Now that I finally have my first haircut since January, I am much less grumpy. Voters have registered Independent for as long as I can remember, the mid 1950s when Dwight Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson were the nominees. Quote

Is Robert Gibbs related to Woolcott Gibbs, the famous journalist who's base was The New Yorker? Quote
Members Buddy2 Posted June 30, 2020 Members Posted June 30, 2020 Barack Obama was elected president, part of that job is commander and chief. Also part of Harry Truman's job also Franklin Roosevelt, Thomas Woodrow Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln and many other Presidents. That is one reason why people belong to politcal parties in the United States. The Republicans convinced Eisenhower to join that party. Ike kept all the New Deal Programs. Quote

Members tassojunior Posted July 1, 2020 Members Posted July 1, 2020 The New York Times has been at the front of every pro-war frenzy from the Maine to Weapons of Mass Destruction to Assad's chemical weapons. Always sensationalist headlines to work people into a frenzy with "anonymous sources" on stories that are on their face ridiculous and always turn out to be lies. Russian/Mujahideen alliance? lol. That should be an IQ test question. Quote
Members Buddy2 Posted July 2, 2020 Members Posted July 2, 2020 There is a slowly growing tent encampment near the Philadelphia Museum of Art. With a large sign: no cameras, donations accepted. Nixon might have tried to use this in his re-election campaign. Trump will charge rent SoCal 1 Quote
Members Buddy2 Posted July 4, 2020 Members Posted July 4, 2020 Trump at Mount Rushmore The site has not had a fireworks demonstration on Independence Day since 2009 because of major concerns of touching of brush fires. Not that President Trump is concerned. The native American demonstrators care; they claim that land. For Trump the show is everything, not a counter argument and certainly not the truth. Comment: I was there in July 1969 before the Manson murders in Los Angeles and Woodstock in New York state. Driving across the country. I had forgotten how beautiful South Dakota is.

As recently as four years ago I audited politcal science, literature and history courses at the University of Pennsylvania. And I talk to the students a lot. There's something to talk about because I do all the reading. In my 2 years as undergraduate at Duke, then a transfer to Yale (1977-1981 in toto ), almost all the term grade was based on the mid-term paper (maybe a few others), then the final paper. A few courses, but few enough you could avoid them, graded significantly on an in-person final exam. In 3rd and 4th year at Jale I did not have to take a single one. Just these big papers they required. And participation in seminar, which was a lot easier than sitting down to the electric typewriter (as what we had then in the Dark Ages ). Quote
