No events? If I go to a pot luck at the neighbors house with two other families, is that an event? Should I instead angrily decline, stand upon the ottoman and explain that my absence is a blow against the oligarchy?
What does No projects even mean?
Im not against the sentiment, obviously, but this message is asking people to do what they cannot do, it asks for too much, for too long, and the requests are too broad and undefined. It becomes an unattainable, diffuse and disorganized mess. It cant succeed because its not designed to succeed. Its a setup for frustration.

"How dare you attack a woman's physical appearance in an attempt to erode her dignity? How dare you--the president of the United States--talk to another person like you're a smirking, bullying, despicable 13-yr-old? Shame! Shame on you, sir! Apologize--right now."
And shame on all those bystanders who witnessed this transaction who did and said nothing.

(9,157 posts)The US president was travelling to Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Friday when Catherine Lucey, a Bloomberg reporter, asked why he did not want to release the remaining Epstein files.
Ms Lucey said: If theres nothing incriminating in the files, sir, why not act?
Mr Trump singled her out, pointed in her face and told her: Quiet, quiet piggy.

I do think he would rather the media fume about a personal insult to a reporter than highlight the Epstein files more.

Here is the difference, I am not currently the official face of this nation. When I say it, it's crude, stupid, funny, but it isn't what I would say as an official representing the United States. I would never repeat this sort of thing if I held an office. From a comic or another casual dude, it's all good. From the president, it ain't right. Since the same media went loony when Obama wore a color that they thought they could scream about, we have obvious reason to ignore anything the conservative media says. Now Krasnov does his daily lying obscene chatter and they give him a total pass.
Never listen to right wing nonsense. Not till they come clean and show that they have standards. Any standards at all. If they tell the truth, it's to sugar coat a lie. When did you last hear about balancing the budget? Oh yeah, back when an honest president was in office.

(2,683 posts)He and his cronies, Epstein and others, undoubtedly used this type of language to devastate the innocent girls, kind of like boot camp. Tear you down to build you back up to fit the pattern. Imagine how hurtful those words would be to a teenager out in the world for the first time. He is rotten to the core, and now that he can no longer tell the difference between right and wrong the words that have always been there just come right out.

(176,015 posts)The White House is standing by an insult President Donald Trump hurled at a female reporter.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-defends-donald-trumps-piggy-comment/
Trump, 79, drew outrage when he snapped at Bloomberg White House correspondent Catherine Lucey for asking him a question about the notorious Jeffrey Epstein files on Friday.
If theres nothing incriminating in the files, sir, why not Lucey began to say as the president took questions aboard Air Force One.
Before she could finish, however, Trump pointed his finger at her and barked, Quiet! Quiet, piggy.
The remark was roundly blasted as disgusting in a torrent of criticism, including from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson, but the White House seems unfazed.
This reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way toward her colleagues on the plane. If youre going to give it, you have to be able to take, a White House official told the Daily Beast.......
The testy exchanges are par for the course for Trump, who has a long history of hurling demeaning insults at women.
In 2017, The New York Times columnist Gail Collins recalled that Trump had sent her copies of her columns that he disliked, calling her a dog and a liar with the face of a pig.
In 2016, Latina beauty queen Alicia Machado, who won the Miss Universe title at age 19 when Trump co-owned the organization, recounted how he would call her Miss Piggy and Miss Housekeeping.

During a press gaggle on Air Force One on Friday, the reporter asked the president about one of the emails Epstein wrote about him that Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released last week. When she tried to follow up with a question about potentially incriminating details in the Epstein files, Trump pointed and said, Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.
The White House made no effort to deny the accuracy of the quote, which was captured on video, telling MS NOW in a statement that the presidents target deserved the rebuke after engaging in inappropriate and unprofessional conduct......
Complicating matters, however, is the familiarity of the circumstances. Meidas News Ron Filipkowski put together a video montage that highlights examples of Trump insulting, berating, demeaning and attacking female reporters just over the past few months.

There were so many examples that Filipkowski soon after released a sequel.

Trump is, in other words, exactly who he appears to be. Hes the man in the E. Jean Carroll case. Hes the one on the Access Hollywood recording. Hes the Republican who suggested some of the women whove accused him of sexual misconduct werent attractive enough to attack. Hes the politician who vowed to protect women from the White House whether the women like it or not.
Hes also the one who didnt hesitate to shut down a reporter asking a reasonable question by calling her piggy.
