Booyah! Thanks for the tip!
I had a forever option. Technically, it runs out in 3025.

Even the moderators are stuck in the echo chamber.
We have seen that tactic before. Twenty years ago, whenever anyone criticized the administration for it’s made up wars, the POTUS would bellow “they hate America”. When the administration was called out for warrantless surveillance, imprisonment without legal due process, and torture, the POTUS would play the victim card and bawl “we were victims on 9/11”
That is how important issues are discussed in Shiny-land now. They aren’t discussed, they are dismissed by attacking the questioner.

Neville Chamberlain also championed peace when he ceded part of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938.

Right that is why he is threatening Canada. That is why Ukraine is getting bombed freely by Russia, That is why he is threatening to go into Gaza after Hamas. Some peace. Take off your blinders

Who would that be? Bernie would be the best guess. Anyone on the right is in favor of war and/or theft/fraud.

I think he means the “peace” of the graveyard. How do you obtain “peace” in 24 hours, as promised? Surrender. While there are reports the US is trying to push Canada out of the “Five Eyes” intelligence sharing group, other countries are starting to wonder if they should share their intelligence with the US, lest it end up on a desk in the Kremlin, within minutes.

Interesting. I will have to look at that again. My old TMF penalty box is still in operation and those two seem to be permanent, but I have only seen 1 year as max.
IP,
not interested in the act of banging one’s head against a brick wall
Unfortunately not really - and in some ways, they are worse on ignore.
You still receive new message and reply notifications from those on ignore and you don’t automatically mark the thread as read unless you click on the ignored (“View Hidden Reply”) message.
It is quite inane.

Trump campaigned on a promise that he will end the war. Americans voted to end the war. This is what he will deliver. PEACE.
Zelensky is an idiot who will be forced to come to the negotiating table. He is quickly realizing that the EU countries are all talk and no action.
Ahhh so Peace through war.

Combined with a great „deal“ if possible - obtaining protection money, a bit like the Mafia.
Except with the Mafia, at least your protection money buys actual protection.

Yup.
The discussion took a sharp turn when a reporter asked Trump about Russia potentially breaking a ceasefire agreement. Instead of offering assurances, Trump brushed off the concern. “What if the bomb drops on your head right now?” he said. He went on to argue that Russia had broken agreements with previous US presidents but claimed, “They respect me.”

And the other necessary component was a massive in government spending paid for by borrowing.
1979: 20.1%
1980: 21.7%
1981: 22.2%
1982: 23.1%
1983: 23.5%
We’d call that “stimulus” today. Of course it was framed using the childishly silly promise that tax cuts pay for themselves. Modern day proponents of supply side economics point to the economic recover, but somehow “forgot” all about the enormous increases in spending and borrowing as if it never happened.
Today we have a different situation. As of January, the economy was growing, wages were up 2.5%, and inflation was just a bit above the Fed’s target.
Now the government’s policy is to bring down wages by mass layoffs in hopes of counter balancing the inflationary effects of tariffs. So maybe the inflation equation will equal out.

Imagine the optics; a military state, armed and in fatigues, frisking its people before they can fly.
Until it doesn’t, and then ‘whaddaya gonna do ‘bout it?’
Zelensky caved. Putin is acquiescing.
Warmongers are losing.
Small steps towards PEACE.
The losers are excited they screwed Zelensky and Ukraine over. They gave everything to Putin and now want to give up the U.S to Russia. This is the greatest shame of the United States ever.

He’s going for his third impeachment. This time the senate will be blue on 2027.
