Sep 22, 2025Sep 22 So, when Congress passes a bill banning Tik Tok and Trump ignores it, doesn't that sound illegal? But there are no consequences and no checks and balances. The assistant deputy attorney general tells his staff to ignore a judge's order and gets promoted to a judgeship, and that's just fine. The administration buys shares in an important computer chip company, which is a step closer to government control of an industry. Trump is telling universities who they can admit and who they can employ. Trump is picking winners and losers for television networks. A Major power plant is shut down because the president doesn't like wind. Maybe there wouldn't be so many charges and lawsuits if Trump and his lackeys weren't so corrupt.

Maybe the question about the liberal media is why they insist on continuing their propaganda. "Calling Trump, and by default Trump voters, fascist doesn't just sound ignorant, it also shows progressives' seething contempt masked underneath a layer of fear and wrapped in a web of anger. No, Trump's win does not portend the rise of fascism, the opening of gulags or the advent of the apocalypse. Instead, it marks the end of thinking that far-left ideas are a reasonable solution to America's problems". https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2024/11/08/trump-wins-election-fascist-garbage/ Checks and balances remain in place in America and it is not only irresponsible for the media to continue with their unsubstantiated allegations it is also dangerous because people listen and take it seriously when they hear these things. Then unstable people go off the rails and kill others because of their hatred, fear or whatever motivates them. For example Charlie Kirk's killer who had "hey fascist, CATCH" (among other things) engraved on one of his bullets. Media should be more careful in what they say, IMO. And some of you here do the same thing with Trump and also Kirk (ie calling them racist/fascist/Nazi/white suprematist etc) just because you don't like him and/or disagree with his policies. Maybe now is the time to turn the Temperature. https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/5508522-fascism-trump-myths-debunked/ https://www.deseret.com/utah/2025/09/12/charlie-kirk-shooting-arrest-tyler-robinson-arrest-shell-casing-inscriptions-fascist/ Watch what we say or you're gonna "turn up the temperature"? Really? You just showed us who you are.

I obviously left out a word in the sentence but I would think you would be able to tell what I meant from the rest of the post. People should turn down the Temp bc other people believe it when it is all over the "news" and politicians etc call Trump a fascist, Nazi etc. And then unstable people go and shoot them. Did you see the part where the shooter had written on his bullet "Hey fascist, Catch"? Not to mention the 2 assassination attempts on Trump himself.

I didn't say the shooter was a fascist. The point is that it was most likely a message to Kirk bc he thought Kirk was a fascist. Of course if he doesn't talk we may never know for sure what his motive was. We will see.

Of course if he doesn't talk we may never know for sure what his motive was. We will see. Trump and Mace have already decided what the shooter's motives were. They made public statements about it. Since Kirk used inflammatory language to engage with people in the digital world, it's easy to presume that his words inflamed the shooter. The FBI apparently released some text messages which apparently support the notion that Kirk's words were the inspiration for the violence.
Sep 23, 2025Sep 23 Expert NRSKarenRN said: Trump's "Don't take Tylenol" rambling Autism announcement I watched this on the news last night. Does he understand that the rest of the world knows this is nonsense? "The most recent and robust study to evaluate this association was published in 2024 by Ahlqvist et al. 1 This study of 2.5 million Swedish children found that, when controlling for important factors including parental neurodivergent diagnoses and sibling relationships, there was no association between paracetamol exposure and offspring neurodivergence." What is he trying to achieve? (Should add - Paracetamol is the European name for Tylenol/Acetaminophen)

Really? Have you watched any of the Cabinet meetings which are nothing but the members telling Trump how great and wonderful he is? Where are the checks and balances there? Who speaks truth to power? Or is it just taken for granted that whatever Trump does is right regardless?
Sep 23, 2025Sep 23 NRSKarenRN said: Trump's "Don't take Tylenol" rambling Autism announcement I know they have been working on trying to figure out why there are so many more cases of Autism now than in previous years. I didn't watch your video but did read other articles and can't find studies etc that they are using (maybe they are out there though). I did see a few that showed a "link" but nothing conclusive. While the announcement might be premature I don't see a problem with giving pregnant women a warning that it might be possible while they continue to investigate. Remember that Thalidomide was thought to be safe in the 60s and of course caused much damage. I am glad they at least they are looking at the possibility of Acetaminophen, some vaccines themselves, the combinations or additives might cause a problem. It is definitely worth looking into and IMO should have been looked at sooner.
Sep 23, 2025Sep 23 It's a problem when health professionals don't see a problem with the POTUS and director of HHS making claims about the cause of Autism without any scientific proof that there's actually a causal relationship. Yep, that's a problem.

They reviewed previously done research, and gave equal weight to reliable and questionable studies. I believe all expectant parents are advised to avoid unnecessary meds, but fevers are dangerous, too. Of course, not all pregnant people have access to health care, so they may not get this advice. As for vaccines, they are the most studied pharmaceutical product used. They are studied before and after market product. The president is fear-mongering about a subject he knows next to nothing about. I'll take my vaccine advice from experts, not an addled, bankrupted, elderly felonious golfer.
