I don’t have an account on truth social - should we to rebut the lies? Or would it harm worse than it helps?

My guess is it would only endanger you & those close to you. I'm afraid it is going to have to come from within the beast itself. It's those people that "believe" in trump that need to see that they are being taken. We can point it out all day & night but until THEY see the light themselves it's not going to break the fever.

I'd say we should go after FOX & other outlets but FOX owes millions from court cases & it hasn't shut them up.

When MAGA deports 15 million people or tries to that's when it will come home to roost. When there will be no one to tend the fields, harvest & process the food we eat that it might sink in that they have been lied to over & over. When all those "pesky" immigrants are gone & our economy plummets only then will they realize what following trump means!

Thank you for your reply from Paris. It's questionable whether having an intellectual argument over Truth Social or any SNS service would be effective, but it might work. A high profile Democrat could be a good spokesperson.

The first thing that comes to mind is that a behavioral standard is always appropriate no matter what the preparation; that is the preparation for some, and I don't mean just people that other people look down on. Everybody, every body has a story. And our stories make our livable, understandable and able to move towards general agreements that promote the general health of everyone in the country, even the tribe. There are samples and examples of this working throughout history and herstory.

It is more than time for this leading nation of the world to promote and support and learn from any and every workable form of civil discussion, all ideas are up for a good look at what they actually do in reality, which is the test really.

No one is born sinful. Period.

Stressed? Always. Which is why and how and wherefore that we need a kinder world everywhere. And anybody can do this, can contribute.

We were made for this; nature abhors a vacuum and we are part of nature.

Before the advent of mass bombing from the air, there were two ways of defeating an enemy holed up behind its own fortifications and which refuses to fight in the open. To starve the enemy by blockading its supply lines or to sap its walls from underground coupled with artillery or projectiles. Good generals did all that. What they didn’t do was send warriors behind enemy walls without a plan to bring down the enemy’s fortifications and send strong back-up for their people inside.
