    My land manager has had two guys who work for him talk to him (they are both US agriculture college educated) about just staying on a property for a couple of months, not venturing into town. These guys are in the middle of some process, should not have problems but they are afraid.

    I went downtown Chicago just to walk around and to get in a long walk of about 5 miles...I was shocked at the low pedestrian traffic along the magnificent mile area as if a large number of people are missing.

    This is an upscale area with the Trump International Hotel making it's home there.

    One employee said at a candy store that it's nice to walk around now on the magnificent mile and not be in a crowd of people but they're now loosing a lot of business.​

    The below picture is nearby the Trump International Hotel...Fox 32 news is there but the CVS Pharmacy is on the first floor. I went into the pharmacy store and bought some water...the store was empty too. I was in there for 15 mins and no one else came into the store during that duration.

    In some ways, it was sort'uv spooky.​

    I know the place very well because my mom use to go there to get her medicine when she lived at the Trump International Hotel. She would complain about the long lines.

    Several days ago, it was a ghost town on Michigan Avenue as if there was a UFO that abducted thousands of people the afternoon I was there. The low foot traffic must be hurting the businesses on the magnificent mile and other nearby streets.

    Well like with Brexit's promised golden age, there is going to be a lot of "we told you so" coming.

    People will be low key for a while but once they feel under attack, it could start to get very messy. Necessity breeds invention and ways to resist.

    The idea of a creep like Trump, his grandfather running a brothel, made stateless for dodging his national service and returning with his tail between his legs being an immigration Nazi..

    Because he didn't do it. You just see Nazis everywhere. Just like Russians, bigots, rapists, blah blah blah. Everyone you don't like is some label or another.

    No, I see narcissists everywhere lately. He did do it, there is video evidence.

    As for you, you seem to have built a bossy attitude to compensate for something*, but it just comes off as posturing. I started using school yard labels when Trump popularized it, mostly to show people like you that it’s not actually that clever.

    *no doubt a list of somethings.

  8. Musk on Sunday called USAID “a criminal organization” that should “die.”

    really?

    Offering humanitarian aid to people around the world is criminal?

  9. Apparently, Elon Musk now has the personally identifiable information (PII) of every American taxpayer in his possession. As a refresher, Elon is neither an elected official, a Senate confirmed, appointed official nor an employee of the United States government. Additionally, Elon Musk does business all over the world and regularly communicates with the leaders of several of our adversaries.

    I cannot imagine any of you who love trump also voted for Elon... trump is within a political system so I can tolerate him, Musk has absolute power and trump is not smart enough to see it.
