I'm leaving California for North Korea. Much more sane there. Better than Mexifornia. A country that is pretty much a replica of Stalin's USSR is better than California? In what universe? I don't know. Many reds preferred a wannabe president for life as president. Why not go for the real thing? Don...

What? You are reneging on your prediction? You will have to be careful or you might lose your infallibility license.

What will you say if there's a war in 2021? Will you say that John was right, and apologize to me? It's an honest question. It's a simple question. Don't be inflexible, now. Well, not just any war.

The above conversation is interesting enough, but it seems centered on me rather than societal collapse. If anyone would care to create another thread at a more appropriate place, I'm game.

As I'm typing this, I'm listening to the BBC promise a "transformational time in American politics," with Biden taking office. Hahaha.

My family has the money and homes abroad to escape. They complain about Trump from the safety of foreign homes, but what about everyone else? I am a retired software engineer. One sister is a retired schoolteacher with a masters in early childhood education. The other is a retired nurse. My father ...

Bob Butler writes like he chooses his gender and orientation as the moods strike him. Is this non-binary or gender fluidity? You clever blue state types create new vocabulary constantly... One of my hobbies is fantasy role playing. For many decades I have created exclusively female point of view ch...
