 | Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems. |

and you don't even know how many there were anymore. Do you like that?
The government sending the military into the streets and putting snipers on rooftops,
to keep 'the peace'.
Remember, when people put Republicans out of power, Democrats can do this too.
If you ever try a Jan 6th again, the military can shoot everyone. Agreed?
Don't cry when they put you in the Fascist re-education camp.
These boats are not getting blown up willy nilly, i am sure they have enough info to make a good decision.
Of course the dope dealers with all their money and influence and fear mongering are going to make it sound like a group of innocent fisherman were in a speed boat flying out into open waters for a bigger fish.
Liberals will fall for any lie that supports their cause and supports their hatred for America .
Europe enjoys seeing death and despair here in the US brought by dope. it helps to keep their citizens, I mean subjects, in a tighter grip by the government
It's murder, plain and simple. One of the 273 reasons to impeach him.
There is just no use, because 0 Republicans will ever vote to impeach.
In any case, even if they actually have drugs in the boat, as long as they
don't enter American waters, they are not yours to act against.
Also, smuggling drugs is not a capital offense.
The Trump regime is breaking many laws, plain and simple.
I can't believe you support drug dealers instead of citizens who are being killed by drugs. shheeeeh, and I thought you had a ounce of humanity?.
“UN Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (198
Flag State Consent: A fundamental principle is the requirement for consent from the flag state of the vessel before a boarding or interdiction can occur in international waters.”
Check out the last sentence. These boats are operating from Venezuela supposedly, but, is this verifiable? I believe that if we can destroy them from the air, then we can shadow them until the Coast Guard can intercept them on the water. This is a political stunt to show how tough the Clown is.
America decided they wanted Osama ben laden dead. so people went out into the world posing as someone they weren't, you know,acting ,undercover. so they could get close to where he was. Since these people were operating secretly no one but a chosen few knew who they were and where they were for safety. They work for the government. so they report to someone in the government, They see bin laden and let someone know where. then someone else goes in and shoots him.
OK now back to this drug boat thing. Americans, or other people working for the US government, are posing as fisherman or bar tenders or taxi drivers or something ,down there in venzwalla and they report back what they see, then someone else confirms it with a satellite camera or other means .this info gets sent to someone flying a aero plane carrying some bad shit that goes BOOOOOM! and drops in on the boats saw earlier and the dope is GONE. They can't get on the news and say, "Ok Lady in Florida or Man in The Nether regions of Europe, sam Johnson took this photo graph of the dope in this boat yesterday at 4 pm. Pilot Jack swaki dropped ordnance from a f16 jet and blew it up." it would kinda give away their source of info and get someone hurt or killed.
As big of a rabbit hole as this can cause America to go down, I don't think they would have started doing this without just cause and very good evidence.

Grace and Disgrace
On a humid Charleston evening ten years ago, a ninth-grade dropout with a bowl haircut named Dylann Roof walked into a Bible-study class at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church, home to the oldest historically Black congregation in South Carolina. Roof, twenty-one, carried a .45-calibre Glock semi-automatic and eight magazines of hollow-point bullets. He settled into a seat near Clementa Pinckney, the church’s pastor and a state senator, who was leading a discussion of a parable from the Gospel of Mark. Around them sat a dozen parishioners, all Black, mostly women decades older than Roof.
Roof had set down his creed on a website he called “The Last Rhodesian”: a lonely, seething hatred of Black people, Jews, Asians, and Hispanics.
***He posted photographs of himself holding a Confederate flag and standing at Sullivan’s Island, where hundreds of thousands of Africans had once been sold into bondage.***
“We have no skinheads, no real K.K.K., no one doing anything but talking on the internet,” he wrote. “Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.”
In the Bible-study class, Roof sat quietly for forty-five minutes.
***When the assembled bowed their heads in prayer, he stood, drew the Glock, and began to fire—pausing only to reload, then firing again. He loosed some seventy-five rounds.***
Tywanza Sanders, a young barber who had come with his mother, collapsed to the floor.
***As he lay dying, he asked, “Why are you doing this?”
“Y’all are raping our women and taking over the country,” Roof replied.***
He spotted a woman praying under a table. “Shut up. Did I shoot you yet?”
“No,” she said.
“I’m going to let you live,” he told her, “so you can tell the story of what happened.”
What lingers in memory from Charleston, beyond the horror of the massacre, are the funerals that followed—above all, Barack
***Obama at the service for Clementa Pinckney, closing his eulogy by singing the first verse of “Amazing Grace.” That unscripted hymn may have been the most moving moment of his Presidency.***
Yet another moment was still more poignant, and, for many, beyond comprehension.
***Two days after the murders, at Roof’s bond hearing, the families of the dead spoke through their grief. They did not renounce him. They forgave him.***
Felicia Sanders, Tywanza’s mother, addressed Roof directly: “We welcomed you Wednesday night in our Bible study with open arms. You have killed some of the most beautiful people that I know. Every fibre in my body hurts, and I will never be the same. But, as we say in Bible study, we enjoyed you. May God have mercy on you.” The daughter of Ethel Lance, who died at the age of seventy, told him, “You took something very precious away from me . . . but I forgive you.” Obama later said that the “decency and goodness of the American people shines through in these families.”
It was impossible not to recall those words of mercy while watching the memorial service, last Sunday, for Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist assassinated this month as he spoke at Utah Valley University. Tens of thousands of people filled a stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to honor him. Kirk was thirty-one, with a wife and two small children. The service lasted more than five hours, but the moment that stilled the crowd came when his widow,
***Erika, spoke of her husband’s [Charlie Kirk's] killer in the language of absolution. “That man, that young man, I forgive him,” she said.***
“I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the gospel is love and always love—love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us.”
******President Donald Trump, who spoke next, embraced Erika Kirk, but at the microphone he all but rebuked the spirit of her forgiveness. Charlie Kirk, he said, in the course of a self-regarding and vengeful ramble, “did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I HATE my opponent. And I don’t want the best for them.”******
Other Administration speakers, including J. D. Vance and Stephen Miller, echoed Trump, not Erika Kirk.
***Retribution, division, grievance—this is the official language of the regime.***
At the start of Trump 1.0, the journalist Salena Zito wrote in The Atlantic that the press took him literally but not seriously; his supporters took him seriously but not literally. The line was meant to suggest how out of touch the press was. Trump himself told Zito that his true aim was, in her words, to “bring the country together—no small task.”
Of course, this was never the case, and each week brings fresh evidence of the darkness we are being led into: the attack on the rule of law, the weaponization of the state against the President’s enemies, the erosion of civil liberties, the colossal Trump-family grift. The assault is relentless. In the days after the memorial, Trump managed to “unite” the country by renewing his threats against Jimmy Kimmel, a comedian guilty of nothing more than making fun of him; by pushing through a last-minute indictment of James Comey; by convening a press conference where he pronounced on the science of autism—“based on what I feel”—in a manner so reckless that it was guaranteed to sow confusion and anguish among parents desperate for clarity; and by informing the United Nations that America is “the hottest country anywhere,” that he deserves Nobel Prizes for ending “seven unendable wars,” that the U.N. is a useless organization, and that climate change is “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” We look forward to next week.
It is not easy to reconcile the act of forgiveness with some of the positions Charlie Kirk once took. They were in moral opposition to the civil-rights-era spirit that infused the parishioners of Mother Emanuel. But his instinct to argue, to engage, left open the possibility of evolution. Trump is long past that horizon. His appetites and his animosities only deepen. Hope lies not in expecting a late-in-life conversion experience in the Oval Office but in carrying out the ordinary work of civic life—in persuading neighbors, friends, even family who have supported Trump to reconsider their decision, one hard conversation at a time. Grace is not weakness but resolve, the Charleston families believed, and politics, too, depends on a willingness to coax one another toward better ground. In that work of persuasion, of politics—slow, imperfect, yet necessary—we attempt to close the distance between what we are and what we might still become. ♦
Get a grip of yourself.
So I replied with similar but opposite, another mentally ill bunch killing using a flag for a prop. Get a grip? You are the 1 dredging up history. The folks are dead, the fellow that killed them is still alive and being kept up on the taxpayers dime. so you should be happy considering you hate religion and everything else.
And then you got this imbecile phart who replied by posting an irrelevant link about Muslim violence.
As I wrote above: What The Fuck?
Know what i mean, CAT?
Leo thinks that a killer should be just let back on the street because the victims family's did what Christan's are taught to do, forgive.
Here maybe Grok can help
Yes, you can forgive someone while still holding them responsible. Forgiveness means letting go of resentment or the desire for revenge, often for your own peace of mind. Holding someone responsible means expecting them to face the consequences of their actions, such as making amends, changing behavior, or facing legal or social accountability. These two are not mutually exclusive: you can release personal anger or hurt while still believing justice or accountability is necessary. For example, you might forgive a friend for betraying your trust but still set boundaries to protect yourself, or a court might sentence someone for a crime while the victim personally forgives them. It’s about separating emotional healing from the need for fairness or change.
What language, in your opinion, should the article be translated into so that phart understands?
This is a rhetorical question. I do know the answer.
--------------------------------------- added after 16 minutes
I’m sorry Leo. My last post was inappropriate. This should be a solemn reminder that the goodness of people can overcome the evil in some men’s hearts. Forgiveness is not about the forgiven. It’s about the character of those that forgive.
I posted earlier
in a language that I guess that this fellow phart might understand. It's just a guess. But I'm not sure. He might want a translation in Choctaw or Cherokee, but I'm not sure.
------
Now this here’s a story I done told before, but I’m fixin’ to tell it again — only this time I’m usin’ words simple enough that our buddy phart, bless his backwoods soul, might halfway understand it. It’s a story ‘bout pain, mercy, and a whole mess o’ what this country’s strugglin’ with.
Starts back in Charleston, South Carolina — hot, heavy air hangin’ over the city like a wet blanket. A young fella named Dylann Roof, full o’ hate and bad ideas, walked hisself into Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church like he belonged. Sat there all quiet while folks prayed, then pulled a gun and did the unthinkable — killed nine good churchgoin’ folks in cold blood.
Now, you’d reckon what came next would be pure fire and fury. But here’s where things turned. Just two days later, some o’ them victims’ families stood up in court, lookin’ that boy square in the eye... and they forgave him. Forgave him, Lord have mercy. One mama said her heart was broke clean in two, but she still forgave. Said the Lord’s grace was bigger than hate.
Then President Obama come down for the service. He gave a speech, but it’s what he did at the end that folks remember — sang “Amazing Grace” right there in the pulpit. Voice crackin’, eyes glistenin’, every soul in the place feelin’ it deep. It weren’t no show — it was somethin’ holy.
Fast-forward to now, and there’s a new heartbreak. Charlie Kirk, a conservative firebrand, got himself gunned down speakin’ at a college. Tragedy again. But this time, his wife, Erika Kirk, stood tall and calm at the memorial and said she forgave the shooter. Said Jesus would’ve done the same, and that hate won’t have the last word.
But then here comes Donald Trump, standin’ at the same event, and boy howdy, his tone was a whole different BEAST. Said he HATED his opponent, didn’t want what’s best for ‘em. Wasn’t talkin’ ‘bout no forgiveness — just grudges and vengeance, like settlin’ scores at a cockfight. His folks cheered, too — folks who’d rather holler than heal, if you catch my meanin’.
The fella who wrote this article — Mr. Remnick — he ain’t just talkin’ politics, though. He’s sayin’ grace ain’t some soft, church-Sunday kinda thing. It’s tough. It’s real. It means choosin’ to love when hate’s easier. It means doin’ the slow, back-breakin’ work of talkin’ to folks who don’t think like you and tryin’ to turn that mule of a mindset one inch at a time.
He says hope don’t come from the White House — not from some speech, not from some savior in a suit. Naw, hope comes from folks like them mamas in Charleston, like that widow in Utah, who choose not to be eaten alive by anger. That kind of grace? That’s harder than shootin’ off your mouth, and a whole lot braver too.
There is still some indicators Ai may have helped you in your endeavors but still, a pretty good first shot at it.
edit, I found a way to do it!
Here is what Grok said,
"can you translate text to redneck style english
I can translate text into a "redneck" style of English, which I'll interpret as a casual, Southern U.S. dialect with a folksy, informal tone. This might include colloquialisms, slang, and a laid-back vibe common in some rural Southern speech. Just give me the text you want translated, and I'll turn it into something that sounds like it came straight outta the holler! For example, if you give me "I'm going to the store to buy some food," I might translate it to "I'm fixin' to head down to the Piggly Wiggly and grab some vittles."
So, what's the text you want me to redneck-ify?
The former girlfriend violated my trust so severally i probably will remain inactive indefinitely.

you just don't have enough money to satisfy the Plutocrats.
the homeless. Is that 'you personally', that I'm asking that from?
People who are let down by the system, should not be dependent on charity.
I pay around $30 per month in charities. Only a tiny percentage of that goes to
the homeless. Homelessness is not a problem that is created by lack of charity, homelessness is created by right-wing policies. When they 'market' housing,
the market will maximize profit for the wealthy who control it. They turn homes
into a scarce resource to blow up the price, making housing unaffordable for
lots of people. Voila; homelessness.
I direct my government to the homeless. My party's highest priority is building a million affordable homes, and reducing the rent and house prices of all homes.
Before you start about affordable homes again. They are not tax-funded homes, they are publicly owned homes, that take out the exploitation from the wealthy.
They are also not crappy homes. They are safe, comfortable, well-insulated houses,
that suit the needs of the people living it them.
The only difference is that they are not owned by slumlords or private equity, who exploit the tenants, and let the houses deteriorate, to fill the pockets of the owners.
Everyone should be able to afford a home, no matter if they are working, on welfare,
on disability, or on social security.
For people who fuck up their lives themselves, there should be shelters for 100% of them.
And they should get help to put their life back in order.
That shouldn't be funded by charity, but by taxes.
The people who have told you that civilization should solve it's problems with charity,
are the wealthy people who don't want to pay taxes, and make you resent taxes,
with the propaganda they are funding.
And they should get help to put their life back in order.
That shouldn't be funded by charity, but by taxes."
I don't agree with taxes funding it. taxes didn't fuck them up, taxes shouldn't fix them. and how many times do you cycle these people thru this system on tax money before it becomes clear it is a waste of tax money and stop?
there has to be a line in the sand. or the system will be abused.
And why does a poor person that doesn't work deserve the same quality home on someone else's dime as someone who works and pay for it themselves? No no, a free house is a cheap house to get you buy until you decide to do better for yourself.stop coddling these poor folks or they will always be poor.
Why should You or I work what we can and live in minimal housing so those that won't work can live in the same thing paid for by us?
Falling out of a womb entitles you to nothing once you become a adult
being a disease first surfaced early in the 19th century. In 1956, the American Medical Association (AMA) de- clared alcoholism an illness, and in 1987, the AMA and other medical organizations officially termed addiction a disease (Lesh- ner, 1997).
If it was actually as simple as being a Illness for alcohol, ok, so then a person is sick, they would go to a dr and get medicine or a treatment for it and pay for it and go home. If they had money for the liquor, they have money for the dr, problem will be fixed.
Disease, Ok ,so how much government tax money gets spent to treat cancer? not much at all. medical bills pile up and insurance and the victim pays the bill.
Same with heart disease, insurance and the victim pays for the care.
Granted some government tax money might be sent for research, but you and i both know that a cure won't be public because it would upset the apple cart of the system that profits from control and treatment of cancer. If it's cured, the cash cow disappears.
So with this logic, again, tax money for fixed dope heads? NO, Hell no. it was very preventable. DON'T take the shit in the first place and you can't get addicted.
Don't drink and you can't get addicted. Prevent the issue by never starting. and Never starting can be fixed by putting away dope dealers and stopping the flow of it into our country.
I could use the excuse of it runs in the family if I became a alcoholic. both my dad and grandfather drank to much, thank God my dad quit Many years ago and is over it. quit cold turkey. So i know it can be done.
That's showing that you have a problematic idea about 'normal' disease too.
When people have diabetes or heart disease, I expect more than to "go to a dr and get medicine or a treatment for it and pay for it and go home". That's just exploiting people's health for the greed of 'Big Pharma'. People get disease for a reason. Their bodies are damaged from the unhealthy life that capitalism has created.
The profit incentive for making people ADDICTED to unhealthy food is causing disease and harm to society. Addiction? Yes, sweet, salty, fatty food HACK our brain. Our brain has evolved to want sugars, salt and fat, because it used to be very difficult to find in nature, when were dependent on it for our survival.
There is no food that you can catch or pluck in nature, that contains the combination of sugars, salt and fat. When we eat it, our brain send the signal: "YES, we found the best source of food EVER!". That IS a dopamine rush,
which is the basis for most addictions.
The problem is that the worst factory foods contain the most sugars, salt and fat. Then you eat much more of sugars, salt and fat than the body can handle.
They also put in the most unhealthy versions of sugars (saccharin, not fructose)
and fats (trans-fats and oxidized fats). Lots of things that hurt the body and
almost nothing, like vitamins and minerals, that the body needs to stay healthy.
Doctors should not just subscribe medicine or a treatment, they should help patients eliminate or reduce the root cause of the disease, which is addiction
to unhealthy food.
STILL, that isn't the full problem, because capitalism has also made heavily processed factory garbage, which they sell as food, CHEAPER than unprocessed REAL food. The result is that poor people can only afford to eat garbage.
Many American children have breakfast and lunch in school. However, the budget, and therefore the infrastructure, is not adequate to feed them fresh healthy food. That results in the kids eating mostly heavily processed factory garbage. If there are some healthy food options, the kids don't eat them, because they are addicted too. If adults are unable to kick the addiction, do you expect children to?
Children are our future, but they have (the first signs of) disease before they even leave school. When PepsiCo and Kraft Heinz are sponsoring kid's meals, they don't do it to make kids healthier, they do it to sell more of their unhealthy products.
Why it is MY responsibility, when I didn't cause their suffering?
I don't like charity, because it sucks as a solution.
It's just fighting the symptoms of the disease, a bit.
Why do you even think that lefties and socialists are about generosity?
I also don't think that you are all about selfishness.
If you were rationally selfish, you would support socialism,
because then you would have good healthcare and better living standards.
Propaganda just made you support the selfishness of the wealthy.
You're sort of being generous, just for people who don't need or deserve it.
You don't HAVE to care about people to be a socialist. It helps, but it's not necessary. We ALL have to LIVE in society, and that society is better when we don't allow a minority to exploit the rest. The 'rest', the 99%, is you and me (you MORE than me).
Some of us will probably immediately stop being a socialist, if they end up with
a big fortune. As long as you're not part of the wealthy, who exploit the rest,
and make life objectively horrible for lots of people, it's just RATIONAL.
We see a problem, we understand the damage that is causes, we understand
the CAUSE, and we want to convince people to support the SOLUTION.
Those people got destroyed by the system, so I want the system to help them.
The system is not MY responsibility either, but I live under it and I think it's doing
a piss poor job for many people, so I choose to be politically active.
Food stamps are bullshit. The state should pay you enough money to live on.
Of course it starts with regulation that prevents accidents like you had,
and good healthcare, so much less people NEED those social systems.
Your government failed you, because it has been too right-wing for decades.
Why does it make sense to you, to make it the most right-wing ever?
He couldn't fix everything.
Wasn't your case denied by a judge? Who appointed that judge?
Just because this happened to you under Obama, doesn't mean it was his fault.
I don't blame Trump for anything just happening under Trump either.
There should be a logical connection.
(Like with Bush causing the financial crisis, by completely deregulating the finance industry, resulting in a house of cards of derivative products designed to scam people. It completely fell apart, causing the 2008 crash. The smart people saw it coming years ahead. Bush's deregulation was designed to let the wealthy exploit the working class, and it did, even when it crashed.)
When Democrats are allowed to run for more than one or two presidencies, they could actually start improving the system and provide Americans with benefits they never had, like an effective system of disability benefits. The problem is that every time they have organized something, Americans vote for Republicans again, who destroy it all again. That's why the country with one of the highest GDPs in the world feels like living in the poorer parts of Europe for most people.
No one who has your health issues is denied disability benefits in my country.
And that was not the right-wing parties who implemented that.

Just so you know ananas2xlekker I did not watch your youtube link...
I know it would just be something you think supports your loon ideas. Sorry, you are a damn loon ananas2xlekker
You could be a democrat to, and vote to make the changes you see fit. IF the majority agrees with you,then shit will go your way.if not, oh well.

Youtube "bows" to Trump.
No, Youtube learned a hard lesson about censorship.
they show kids how to ride on plastic tables towed behind cars and getting hurt without a second thought, but they censor someone they don't like what they say.
and like good little cucks, they suck his dick. PATHETIC!
YouTube didn't break any laws, they only blocked content that violated their TOS.
They are a private company. They could have a TOS rule against picking your nose.
The only thing they are obligated to do is follow their own TOS consistently.
YouTube Community Guidelines / Policies
only registered users can see external links
'Child safety' is part of their Guidelines. If they are showing kids hurting themselves,
that's a good reason to flag the video. I do that sometimes.
Free speech is not a right to say whatever you want, especially not on platforms owned by private companies. Freedom of speech is primarily the right to criticize the government. That's what Trump is cracking down on.
He's now assigning the term 'violent conduct' to speech he refers to as anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity. That is a clear violation of the second amendment.
If you agree with it, you're stupid, because this can easily come back to bite you.
Those terms can easily be interpreted as what you do, when the Democrats are in power again. Don't think I will show any sympathy, if you are harmed by your own crack-down
on free speech.
Anti-Americanism: You shit on The Constitution all the time.
Anti-capitalism: Tariffs are Anti-capitalist.
Anti-Christianity: Jesus loved the poor and the sick and hated hypocrites.
You will be so fucked when Democrats start using the precedent Trump is setting.
Trump himself was banned for inciting violence, towards groups of people and towards specific people. That's not just illegal speech, but it most definitely violated YouTube's Community Guidelines / Policies. Trump received at least one strike when YouTube removed content for incitement and temporarily suspended uploads.
YouTube would have surely won the case against them, but they are afraid of him
abusing his power against them even more, so they bow down. Those millions of dollars are therefore a clear bribe.
When will you ever learn to understand your own law?
"Yep, Trump is extorting money form companies again,
and like good little cucks, they suck his dick. PATHETIC!"
And he went on to justify his claim.
And I'm 10000% sure that the fascistoid, phart will do anything to refute this fact. It does not matter, he'll say, that trump extorted money. His god can do anything he likes. And, using his usual response tactic, he'll diffuse the matter in petty ways such as referring to another person, probably democrat, who has also extorted money. And he'll say: "see? those far left people also extort money." He'll do anything to avoid attaching even the slightest responsibility to his dear leader and his cronies.
What you miss about this is the double standard that folks like myself keep trying to open your eyes to but your blinders won't let you see.
liberals can take money, fuck everything and so forth and it is ok but let 1 conservative get a kick back and oh my , all hell is supposed to break loose.
That's every Republican president, for decades.
They all leave your country in a fucking mess.
Then Democrats get voted in, to fix that mess again.
And when they don't do that quickly enough, stupid Americans vote MAGA.
Now your country is turning to shit, quicker than ever before.
Democrats should just say: "Fuck you, we don't fix your shit anymore!".
OR IF they decide to give it another try, it should should be FULL SOCIALISM,
because anything else will not fix the US quickly enough, for stupid Americans.
The 'Earth will keep turning' for a while, but the shit will hit the fan soon. I hope that boneless Chuck Schumer won't give in to the demons, to prevent some shit.
Republicans shovel money into their own pockets and the pockets of the wealthy.
Democrats want funding for Medicaid (for low-income, disabled, elderly), subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), public health programs, Food assistance, unemployment insurance, ensure government agencies are staffed sufficiently, public media funding as a source of independent journalism and cultural programming, Development assistance, health programs abroad, diplomacy, global initiatives, infrastructure, scientific research, environmental protection, education, preventing ACA premiums from rising and to keep coverage affordable, and keep debt interest discretionary.
Trump cutting all those expenses will not reduce the deficit or reduce
the tax-burden on the average American, it's just intended for more FREEBIES for billionaires.
You just said: "I can't get a small monthly check that was SUPPOSED to be there for me from the government after doing my part.", but then you support Trump taking away your chance of ever getting anything like that.
Democrats want that for you, Republicans just want you to be dead.
The people that work and pay taxes should be the priority of the programs in place to help, not those that have done nothing.
well maybe Trumps tariffs are doing some harm?
I think even ananas2xlekker knows this. But Remember alekker likes to talk perfect scenarios as explained exactly in his tard books or internet searches.
while Trump has cut taxes for the wealthy. It makes everything more expensive.
It's the opposite of what people like you gave as a reason to vote for Trump.
Why don't you give me a list of the tariffs that other countries had on the US,
before Trump's trade war? Show that you can do some internet searches too.
This is a spoof video the farmer made.
Splorn is not even a real crop, he is actually cutting silage, the machine behind him is a silage cutter.
BUT Here is what I wanted you to ses Ananas, folks like you are so eager to jump on Trump you don't think for 2 minutes.
Cnn actually reached out to this farmer for a INTERVEIW on national tv!
His video was stolen and run on a liberal network.

no amount of Milton Friedman quotes are going to stop the other 9
from figuring out what the problem is.
And i bet they will be to stupid to save any seeds so they can grow MORE food.which may be how that 1 got it all to start with. he was hungry and planted seed and grew it.
there is more than 1 way to solve a problem. some of those ways require work,and those other 9, i bet 7 won't be willing to do that work.that's why they may be hungry
Funny how you assumed he did any work for it at all.
Maybe he just found a big crate full of food and doesn't want to share it.
You would probably kill him yourself, if you were in that situation.
you are very unusual. and i don't consider my self a defeated man. Although i will say, the system has fucked me over a few times. the fact i still get out and try to do for myself and help those around me has allowed me to live a reasonable life. I don't eat sirloin everyday, wouldn't if i could. but i have what i NEED.
I would offer to work for my portion of the food. and if I saw someone trying to harm him to get the food for free, i would probably crack their head with a club.
thieves are the lowest
He didn't work for it, but you are willing to work for him, while he is not sharing
the resource that he did NOT work for himself. He just acquired it by LUCK.
What 'value' is behind that idea?
That is 1 of many things the Bible says that prompts you not to like it, it in so many words says if you work you don't eat. you think everyone deserves everything for just falling out of the womb
That's why he should share it. He might have first pickings, but that's it.
Great apes understand this type of ethics. It's strange that you don't.
"you think everyone deserves everything for just falling out of the womb"
No, I don't. But I think they deserve more than nothing.
Your founding fathers understood that.
after Brian Kilmeade said "just kill them" on Fox'News'.

that they're fascists and scared of anyone disagreeing with them.
not all of them are peaceful drum beaters and you know it.
"Individuals involved in the movement subscribe to a range of left-wing ideologies, and tend to hold anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, and anti-state views. A majority of individuals involved are anarchists, communists, and socialists,[7] although some social democrats also participate in the antifa movement.[5][8][9] The name antifa and the logo with two flags representing anarchism and communism are derived from the German antifa movement.[10] Dartmouth College historian Mark Bray, author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, credits Anti-Racist Action (ARA) as the precursor of modern antifa groups in the United States.[11][12]"
Does that sound like a book club that is peaceful to you? Communist, anarchist? Really??
It's just people who are anti-fascist.
I guess if charles manson was anti-facist you would excuse him of all his crimes?
Afti-fa: ZERO.
The FUCKING KKK isn't on the terrorist list.
I don't care for your hypotheticals, this is another fascist move
from your criminal regime. Literally LAWFARE.
Fox News' Brian Kilmeade proposed giving homeless people "involuntary lethal injections". He said "just kill them", to make sure that everyone understood.
That's past fascism, you're now real NAZIs.
There comes a time that I won't reject violence against your side anymore.
When you turn to actual NAZI's, you're the enemy of humanity.
People stopped rejecting violence as soon as a small part of it was because of something they didn't like.
Death is not the only concerning crime. how many MILLIONS of dollars that could have helped the needy were spent to fix damage from antifa and it's bullshit?
The kkk hasn't killed anyone in a long time, so are you saying they are ok now?
Don't be the evil side.
SO with your logic in mind, Trump would be right to Side with PUTIN. You would be putting your support behind Putin because a few people you agree with's word is enough proof to enact violence against the nazis.
"
Putin said that Russia was acting in self-defense, that its goal was the "demilitarization and denazification" of Ukraine, and claimed that Russia had no plans to occupy Ukrainian land. He threatened severe consequences for any country that intervened. The invasion began immediately after Putin's announcement. "

now you sit there and type it with a straight face that this won't be abused to censor conservative speech? You can't do it.,
"Weissman added that platforms may also find it challenging to differentiate sarcasm, serious posts and sincere discussions about sensitive subjects, adding that over-removing content will be the only way they will be able to avoid liability."
Does that sound right to you?
We get on here and argue back and forth, use sarcasm everyday, are we trying to destroy the world,? No we have a open dialog that allows us to speak and discuss. this law would take that away if we were in that state.
in the 'Freedom of speech' topic.
They are:
- Incitement to imminent lawless action (e.g., calling for violence right now).
- True threats (serious expressions of intent to harm someone).
- Obscenity (narrowly defined, not just “offensive” content).
- Defamation (false statements that harm reputation).
- Fraud (knowingly false claims to cheat people).
- Child exploitation material (entirely excluded).
- Certain national security exceptions (e.g., classified info leaks).
Jimmy Kimmel didn't and doesn't violate ANY of those limits on free speech.
The state’s civil rights laws that are mentioned in the bill are broadly based on those categories of the limits on free speech, though it simplifies some of the legal detail.
It's the Californian legal limits on free speech.
ALL U.S. states have civil rights laws, but they differ in scope, enforcement, and how much they brush up against free speech. None can legally go beyond the First Amendment floor set by the U.S. Constitution, but some states regulate more aggressively in gray areas (e.g. harassment, hate crimes, discrimination in public life).
Every state has laws that prohibit:
- Violence and threats (true threats, incitement to imminent lawless action)
- Harassment and stalking (especially when directed at individuals, repeated, and unwanted)
- Hate crimes (enhanced penalties when crimes are motivated by race, religion, etc.)
- Discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations (race, gender, religion, disability, etc.)
California does have one of the more stricter civil rights speech-related laws:
- Broad Ralph and Bane Civil Rights Acts give both criminal and civil remedies against threats, intimidation, and interference with rights.
- Strong workplace/education harassment laws extend to speech that creates a “hostile environment.”
SB 771 would further expand liability to algorithmic amplification online. That's NOT censoring speech, that introducing stricter enforcement of legal limits on speech.
Are you saying that conservative speech is by it's very nature violent, threatening, harassing, stalking, hateful or discriminatory?
Well, cry me a river, you should learn to respect the rights of the people you damage
with your speech then.
Conservative speech is NOT violent or anything else. it is just the liberals INTERPRET it that way because it goes against their little agenda.
No one has a problem with conservative speech that is NOT violent,
but every time your speech has been restricted, it has ALWAYS been
speech that directly calls for damage to some people.
There is no way to interpret it in any other way.
You are just claiming that you have the right to do that.
Meanwhile you are arguing that criticizing a president is NOT allowed.
The whole PURPOSE of freedom of speech is criticizing the powerful.
None of California's laws is limiting that important right.
The problem is that you want to use your speech to attack minorities,
in favor of the powerful. That's tyranny, the exact opposite of the purpose of free speech.
That's not 'their little agenda', that's what your founding fathers intended.
soros = antifa. Fuck all them PRICKS.
I guess we have to be vigilant with your thinking, I do believe the tards have been invited to debates, but the idiot dems seem to prefer violence. Good luck with your loony thinking ananas2xlekker.
Sure, I think Soros is anti-fascist. He's old enough to remember what they did.
"Born in Hungary in 1930, he lived through the Nazi occupation of 1944–1945,
which resulted in the murder of over 500,000 Hungarian Jews."
My thinking has never preferred violence, but there is a point that talking is over.
We cannot let history repeat itself. My pacifist streak is running very thin.
That's useless and only emboldens your side.
It can of course happen. There are some stupid people on the left too.
I don't visit the websites that conspiracy theorists visit.
I am a RARE case, but there is nothing 'extreme' about my opinions.
I'm not proposing to hurt anyone or break any laws or force something
on vulnerable people, I am proposing a democratically supported shift,
to change a system that I think is exploited by a selfish minority,
to the detriment of everyone else.
Humanity has gone trough similar shifts before, but mostly as violent revolution,
by the oppressed majority, killing the oppressing minority. That always happened when humanity was pushed to its breaking point. I'm seeing humanity heading to one of those breaking points again. This will result in some violent revolution at some point. It will not necessarily result in a better system, because chaotic times are unpredictable. That's why I propose a non-violent solution, that results in a sustainable state for humanity. I think that is the opposite of extreme.
Are you really a commie?
Your brain works better if you do not drop it in a blender.
No, I'm a socialist.
Communists support a centralized government owning everything.
Socialists support citizens and workers having shared ownership of everything.

This is a call to liberals and leftists, to Get Your Ass Off The Couch and organize.
Do you want to live under authoritarian rule, or will you fight back?
If you don't want to do it for your country, do it for yourself.
Engaging in politics is more fun than you might think.
You will meet new people and give yourself a goal in life.
All over your country, right-wingers push themselves into School Boards, Country Election Boards, University Trustee Boards, Public Library Boards, Library Associations, Think Tanks, Non-Profit Advocacy Groups, Policy Networks, Parent / Community Activist Groups, Volunteer Committees, Advisory Boards, Local Nonprofits, Boards of Foundations / Philanthropic Donor Networks, etc., stacking policy and culture from the bottom up.
You are not doing this enough. Why? You are much smarter than them, but you
don't have their unfounded confidence. Get your act together, push the ignorant people out of all those powerful positions, and take your country back.
What's also true: that guy is likely smarter than most of you,
and will probably end up in a suit behind a desk, foreclosing on your house,
when you had to sell your last possessions for food, because of Trump.
And he will feel no remorse, because he knows how you tried to screw his life.
Your message will resonate.
every file should be released to the public!"
Doubt TRUMP wants to destroy the cl1nt0ns...
As a matter, he could have got rotten cl1nt0n...
Is he protecting the Clintons?
Sometimes i wonder if there are any sane people left in that pitiful state.
i am not a fan of kid rock. but this is just dumb. a childish governor.
Is it an advertisement for your political side, when a horrible mass-murdering
"communist" dictator, who starves his own people and sends them to die
as cannon-fodder for another mass-murdering dictator, supports your political side?
huh?
Your political side is "Trump supporter".
Why do you like your political side being associated with Kim Jong Un?
Can I expect an AI product of Adolf Hitler with a MAGA-hat next, from you?
Or Stalin or Pol Pot? Would you proudly post that?
then your government needs to collapse.
YOu and I both know that since this has been brought up in the news those files could have been hacked,rewritten and hashed over 15 times by everyone that has access to them and a agenda to try to advance with them.
There are plenty of things not released to the public, like manifestos of school shooters and diary's of criminals and such, that if we could read the info, we could learn from it and use the knowledge to solve problems.
in this case of the epstein files, all it amounts to is people hate Trump, they hate Elon, they hate this person and that 1, so they insert their names on a list of people that epstien supposedly hooked up with some females that were to young. .Patel has already stated there was no evidence epstien had trafficked young women, only registered users can see external links
You're just parroting Trump, who was obviously involved in the crimes.
How can you convict people of crimes with no evidence or evidence that has been passed thru so many hands?
I guess if a file was tossed into your hands this morning, you would take it as gospel even though it is how old and been thru how many hands?
tainted evidence has gotten alot of crooks off. it has also convicted alot of innocent people.
how can you so willingly have confidence in these files now, after all this time? And where is the physical evidence? Did the women keep their dress's or is it their word against mens? if so that is not equality.
So are these images you or your socialist freinds would use to convict? Ok so there is a real pic of trump and epstien, who knows what the situation was. A asshole has a chance to clic a pic of himself with a real-estate mogul, like getting your girlfriend to take a pic of you standing beside a rolls royce.

You supported Al Franken getting ousted over allegedly touching a woman's ass.
You couldn't care less that Trump has probably sexually abused minors.
I care about how long ago it was, not because i dismiss the crime persay as much as I have enough sense to know, evidence will be sketchy at best. sperm gets washed away, body's heal. hatred grows. clothes rot and are thrown away, peoples memorys get fuzzy and can be influenced by suggestion.
that's why victims need to speak the hell up Quick, so justice can be had. Don't wait until it is convenient to use for a agenda.
for a example of using guess work to solve a crime, how about this? trying to say he was murdered, 12,000 years ago. um, i guess no one miss fired a bow a arrow ever??

to me this is not much different than trying to peice together evidence of a r0pe. only thing this guy can't talk.
In any case, it was reason to NOT VOTE for her, in your opinion.
You knew enough about Trump TO NOT VOTE for him.
He is now completely blocking all investigations. That's proof enough.
You can't believe that he's hiding other people. Who? Bill Clinton?
I don't believe a word of it.
So, why not? After all, doesn’t The Clown have total immunity?
Trump is on record saying things that he would only know if he was involved.
Trump is on record saying that Epstein 'stole' a girl who worked for him.
It's what he claimed was the reason for the end of their friendship.
'Stealing' is a transfer of property without permission. Are girls PROPERTY?
Would he end the friendship, over Epstein giving some Mar-a-Lago employee
a better employment contract? You don't believe that, I hope?
This is a clear admission of guilt or at least knowledge of crimes going on.
Why would he allow that to continue, if he is not guilty of something illegal himself?
Why would he say: "I never had the privilege of going to Epstein's island ..."?
Damn filthy creep, Epstein was keeping children as sex slaves on that island.
Is it a 'privilege' to be invited to a ped0phile sex ring?
You're QAnon loonies were screaming about Hillary Clinton being involved in some fictitious child sex ring in the basement of some pizza restaurant, but you don't hear anything when their own president admits to knowing about an actual child sex ring. They were right, but they were just suspecting the wrong party.
you are suggesting arresting a world leader and putting a entire country in chaos i guess?
"Afterall, Putin risked being arrested as a war criminal in Alaska meeting with Trump."
World leaders visiting for negotiation have diplomatic immunity.
It's exactly types like Putin and Trump, who would ever violate it.
It's also why any agreement between them would be useless.
Neither Putin nor Trump have ever respected an agreement in their lives.
Even if it stops the fighting, Putin will be already planning the next attack.
i know the french like to make love not war but that doesn't help here. the best surplus military equipment like rifles come from france, only dropped once!!

Putin asked for this meeting, right? That's him being 1 step down.
He is terrified of going outside of Russia, but he agreed on Alaska.
That's Putin being 2 steps down.
What does Trump have to show for? He was humiliated.
Did your media tell you why Putin put himself in a 2 steps down position?
What is Putin worried about? Let me see if you have any strategic insight.
That's called "ignorance".
Negotiation between world leaders is the end result of diplomacy.
If Russia gives no signals that they are willing to stop the war,
it's useless to send your world leader. It can only have negative consequences.
Any idea yet what Putin is worried about?

The EU is showing strength, by saying: "As far as Russia has not agreed to full and unconditional ceasefire, we should not even discuss any concessions".
That's why Putin is running to his buddy. To cry for help.
Trump has literally done nothing besides helping Putin, from day 1.
The EU is now paying for all Ukraine's weapons, and is doing all the sanctions. What did the US do? Send your clown to humiliate himself?
Why don't you learn something and watch the video?
If you are a chess player you know what I'm talking about. Trump imposed the tariffs on China. Now since we have resources within our sovereignty we really are not dependent on other countries including oil.. China needs the United States and they know it. Trump can if he needs to, create major embargos, or he can remove them not through legislation but through executive and judicial process. Russia is dependent on China who is a major ally with trade and economics on a global perspective. Trump is going to china in a couple of weeks... Starting to get the picture now? Europe is dependent on GDP percentage and tariffs the way they were. NOW its different.. Trump could work out a deal with china and if Putin does not agree to end the war it would spill disaster for him. That's why he flew to Alaska.
You should be worried. Russia-Ukraine is just around the corner from you. How many countries in Europe? Who is calling Putin to stop the war? This is your problem now.
NOW THEY KNOW..

and telling Europe that you would be the policeman of the world,
when the going gets tough, you are not delivering.
You don't have to remind me that this is our problem now.
No idea what you're on about with the "pay to play" comment.
Must be some serious dark web conspiracy shit.
We are not responsible for your policing Europe while destroying our economy making our children stupid forcing them to change their sex and identity. .Central banks tried destroying the police here with a ruptured border. How does it look now. We are not your mother anymore. We can trade, FAIRLY
Our homeless population and veterans have suffered enough from incompetence, corruption and endless wars fought for billionaires while they spend trillions of our money defaming trump, selling books and receiving donations of lies and propaganda. Europe is going to have to start reshaping their business models. Common sense would be to get oil from the Middle East and Russia.. If Putin starts to behave himself. We don't need oil. You do.
They always staged war so they can pretend they are sending money to fight evil but in actuality they laundered money. Starting to get the picture? Trump is ending these wars and ending the central banks and globalism..
when the going gets tough. You have to give us some time
to develop our own military industrial complex. That takes time.
The US intentionally hold the EU back in the production capabilities.
Your military industrial complex just wanted our sweet sweet money.
that's long enough.
and besides, you must have thought you were getting a bargin or you would have built your own weapons. duh.
Your high defense expenses are mostly for your own benefit.
It keeps the US in power over everyone else.
Are you kidding? Those weapons are as expensive as they can get away with.
There is one reason for why we didn't want to make them ourselves.
We were naive, thinking war was a thing of the past, that humanity has outgrown these primitive impulses. Obviously, we were wrong about that. We woke up in a cold reality, with not just Russia showing them who they are, but also America turning to fascism at a break-neck speed.
You're blinded to think it was just the US holding up the EU. You're dominance in the world comes for a big part from the EU holding up the US too. You benefited from trillions of dollars in investments, allowing the US to capitalize on shared intellectual property rights, keeping the dollar dominant in the global market, keeping your debt solvent, helping you stay afloat in the competition with China that you're losing, condone your wars over natural resources and to do regime changes to favor your economy, sharing intelligence with you, using your digital services, giving you our private information and allowing you to spread your propaganda to all our citizens.
We are awake now. We understand that it's time to break free from the US too. If you think that's good for you, then you're deceiving yourself.
You're the bully that stole our lunch money and copied our homework. When those bullies grow up, they're ending up polishing cars or at best owning a fitness center. The nerds grow up to own Microsoft or Google.
You're dumbing down your citizens, by destroying your universities, replacing science with dogma and making higher education even more unaffordable. You're showing yourself to be unreliable trading partners, turning the rest of the world away to your competitors. You want to stop investing in new energy technology, but sticking with increasingly expensive fossil fuels, that are polluting your water and agriculture,
and are damaging the health of your citizens. Your empire is crumbling, and the ideas you are coming up with to save your country are the opposite of what you need. You're burning it all down.
You're covered.. Right now Russia is on the brink of nuking Kiev.. Putin has gone war hungry which will only lead up to major sanctions. trump is going to get Russia bankrupt with china appers to be playing ball.. china needs the USA more in this time in history.. Don't worry your little bippy..
The democrats are going bizerk here. This is a major issue. Obama is feeling the heat of the DOJ breathing down his back and is creating terrorism here. Just about the entire country is cleansing emena of illegals.. The democrats here are running out of money but they will not give up without creating hate.. I'm confident in the eventual outcome.. Meanwhile Trump will be running for a 3rd term if the democrats force him to create marshall law. He may just do that.. Stay Tuned..
The EU needs to become independent ASAP. Until then, we will buy your weapons.
It is indeed big business. That's a big problem in my opinion. Defense is necessary, but if it creates wealthy and powerful people, who then will bribe the government into everlasting wars. I want the military industrial complex be fully owned by governments and directly funded by taxes, instead of buying weapons with taxes at a premium, making big profits for owners and shareholders. Remove bad incentives.
What would Trump do, when Russia nukes Kiev?
If China, India and other trading partners of Russia, prefer doing business with the US and Europe, and we use that as leverage,
Russia can go bankrupt in a very short time. That's what I was indeed hinting at. Phart didn't understand that, you do. Credits for that.
How are the Democrats "going berserk"?
You mean that they are making fun of your clown?
That bullshit the tell you about Obama is just a distraction.
He did nothing illegal. And even if he did, does presidential immunity only work for Trump?
Funny how you accuse Obama of crimes, and then directly follow that by supporting Trump crapping on The Constitution and creating that tyrannical government, that your side always fear-mongered about Democrats doing. The irony is completely lost on you, isn't it?
Trumps tactics in dealing with Russia would be the same as what Regan did. I believe china is going to yield to trump since his crippling tariffs brought them to the bargaining table. Putin likes to kill. Even after and during the Alaska conference he was bombing Ukrainian cities killing children in the process. He's gone mad. This may not be his tactic but he's a business man and views Russia as a threat to world piece. By destroying Russia's economy unfortunately starving the country where through drastic means forcing him to resign or revolution getting rid of him by other means. If Putic has any sense left in his head he would make the right choice. Unfortunately his lust for power Ukraine would eventually have to give up some territory and forget about crimea. I'm assuming that would be the deal. If he declines then crippling profound sanctions and embargos would force the russians to form a coup. I don't believe the Russian people want war. All they want to do is survive which is why they are hungry for food, medicine and shelter is a major struggle. Remember if you attack russia and they become desperate they will use nukes.
How did Obama support Trump in any way. He formed a soft coup back in 2017 underminding his presidency and the american people. Who did you hear this from? Obama knew it was a hoax yet he pushed the collusion narrative AFTER TRUMP SWEARING IN. Hillary bought the dossier.. There are many others to blame but without OBAMA the coup would never have happened.
Don't just take my word for it. See for yourself. Iran was the number 1 sponsor or terror and he sent plane loads of cash untracable over night to Iran. Why would he do this? Iran is the enemy of USA so therefore its treason and abuse of power but he still broke the law after his presidency.
The democrats here in this country are suffering the same fate as russia will suffer. Sending in the national guard while ICE deports illegal votes is taking their main vine offline. They are going broke and the media is starting to shut down too since the party funded them.
China doesn't need the US. You're only about 15% of their exports.
If Trump wants to force them, he could stop the tariffs against the EU and instead join forces.
I agree that Ukraine will probably have to give up some territory and forget about Crimea, but in a negotiation you don't start dealing them everything they want. Trump should know that, if he's such a good deal-maker. What's also important if you want to make a deal, showing the opponent that you're at least somewhat trustworthy. Why would people make a deal with you, if they know that you have no intent of keeping your side of it. Trump is notoriously untrustworthy. So is Putin, so a deal between Trump and Putin isn't worth the paper it's written on.
The Russian people have no power, Russia is a dictatorship.
Better think of that, before you turn the us in one too.
Leaders like that only care about you being willing to sacrifice
yourself for their glory.
Only naturalized citizens can vote. There was no illegal voting with any significant result. Those were all lies. Meanwhile, Trump is the one making Texas cheat even more. Most people do understand that, so it will actually cost you more votes than you're gaining.
Instead of cheating, why doesn't Trump actually do something to improve people's lives? That's the reason most people voted for him. That was incredibly naive, and he is now showing them that.
Trump is doing everything that the left warned people about.
People should have listened. Trump is only lying when he promises good things or promises not to do a bad thing. When he even hints
at doing something bad, you can rely on it.
Do you think he's winning people over, by cutting healthcare, food programs and social security? Do you think people like it, when he uses the national guard as an intimidation force? Sure, it's just Democrat states now, but people understand that these are tyrannical tendencies. Only you lot like it, when he threatens stealing a third term. All this shit is turning so many people away, that no amount of cheating will work. Trump will then cancel elections all together, which will turn almost everyone against him. This will end very badly.
The military took an oath to defend the Constitution, not the president.
He will end up facing the firing squad.
ready?? Those that are illegal aliens that climb over the wall into the united states who were receiving tax payer dollars, in 5 star hotels, visa cards filled with taxpayer dollars while a good number of people working and paying taxes are HOMELESS,,, this is justifyable on trumps order to cut medicaid.
I voted for trump back in 2016 because he made the most sense. Build a wall. Those that wanted to come here need to come through the port of entry to claim assylum. from there they are processed. Those that climb over the walls are tresspassing in our juristiction. In Europe I'm sure that if I was to barrel through the check gates in your country I'm sure I'd be shown the exit as fast as possible and being sued for restitution. The only exception would be if you are Muslim seeking asylum while raping your women and stealing your money. I wouldn't qualify because I'm a Jew.
Germany lost the war in WW1 and suffered with depression due to the Treaty of Versailles.. Adolf Hitler was arrested in 1923 because he led the failed Beer Hall Putsch, an attempt to overthrow the Bavarian government and seize power in Germany. On November 8-9, 1923, Hitler and the Nazi Party attempted a coup in Munich, but the insurrection was put down by authorities. The failed putsch led to Hitler's arrest and subsequent conviction for high treason, which resulted in his imprisonment for a short period.
Now pay attention,,, while in jail On 18 July 1925, Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf (‘My Struggle’) was published. He wrote it in prison, where he was serving a sentence for a failed coup he attempted in 1923. Did not the world know of this document and his intentions killing all Jews and others that show resistance to the Nazi Party? Was his publishings sent to all corners of the world? Time Magizing named 1938 the man of the year awarded to Adolf Hitler.. 1938!!! Everyone knew... Winston Churchill praised Adolf Hitler in 1938 of the strength and mind of Adolf Hitler..What about the Vatican giving Hitler his first prestige>... Russia, then known as the Soviet Union, signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a non-aggression treaty with Nazi Germany, on August 23, 1939. This pact also included a secret protocol to divide Eastern Europe into their respective spheres of influence and was a critical factor in the outbreak of World War II. Hitler could not have done this by himself with no backing.. What about those American industrialists that invested with military weapons for germany during this instablity and PROFITTED by this reviting? Hitler and germany is guilty,, then the whole world is guilty... All of these bastards knew what he was doing.. Roosevelt turned back 10000's of Jews trying to seek political persecution knowing they'd be going into the gas chamber.. The whole world knew ,,.,, everybody!!!
Now its 2025.. The same thing is repeating itself. Israel is to blame, Jews are to blame. Netanyahu is suffering lies from the European Union and United Nations labling him as a war criminal. the UN was caught financing weapons of mass destruction in order to destroy Israel.. Look what happened in prestigous universities persecuting Jews through terror creating barriers so they couldn't attend classes. The whole world knows the truth and turns their back on Israel and Jews... When I heard how Donald Trump laid out what the Left was trying to do and because he won the primaries in 2016 and beat Hillary Clinton the left knew it was a revolution putting the bastards out of business.. Since the first primary I believed in him and still do. People rose and voted for him,, and again in 2024.. Its history repeating itself. This is not the first time this is happening.. Journalism doesn't want you to know what Europe is trying to do. The people of the united states of america? They came down to earth with understanding of doing the right thing.
You can down talk trump as much as you want. You can praise Obama all you want. You will never ever change my mind just as my whole family loved Obama as a hero and showed me the door when I said. "you are all wrong" I know the truth. Its all too easy how evil uses the same tactics over and over again. Do you support this?
Are you saying that you think that US citizens who paid 10 years of taxes shouldn't get any social security payments and medicare? Why not? They paid into it, so they should at least be partially entitled to it.
"Pregnant women who are single parents trying to bring up children that were abondened by the father should receive medicaid."
Well, don't they?
Not all single mothers live in poverty. Women aren't helpless.
Yes, help the ones that need help, but don't generalize in this way.
Oh sure, those immigrants are living in luxury, while Americans are homeless. Tired old bullshit. OK, how about fixing homelessness then? I just asked you why Trump isn't doing anything to improve the lives of people. Your country has enough billionaires who can pay a bit more taxes, to eliminate homelessness. Instead, those spending cuts are going to LOWER the taxes of the billionaires. Is this justifiable on trumps order to cut medicaid?
You know what, I'm done reacting to the rest of it for today. In just your first paragraph, you have shown clearly to start off whit the idea "Trump good", and then make up complete nonsense to justify everything he's doing. Don't you know about his fucking tax-cuts?
Are your billionaires homeless or starving? Trump seems to think so.
Or is he just enriching himself and his buddies who helped him win?
You're either lying to cover for him or you're completely ignorant.
but when men are tired of women, you don't say that?
you're NOT an independent voter.
of having. He would puke all over you for believing that.
There will be no more further conversations on this subject. It is clear to me now who I am dealing with,
Adolf Hitler (Germany)
The Nazi Party won the most seats in the Reichstag elections of 1932.
Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933 after electoral success.
He then consolidated power through the Reichstag Fire Decree and Enabling Act, eliminating democracy.
Benito Mussolini (Italy)
Though Mussolini’s rise included the March on Rome (1922), his Fascist Party did participate in elections and entered parliament legally.
After gaining legitimacy, he dismantled Italy’s democratic institutions.
Ferdinand Marcos (Philippines)
First elected president in 1965 and re-elected in 1969.
Declared martial law in 1972 and ruled as a dictator until ousted in 1986.
Alberto Fujimori (Peru)
Elected president in 1990.
In 1992, he staged an “autogolpe” (self-coup), dissolving Congress and ruling by decree.
Viktor Orbбn (Hungary) (modern example)
Elected in 2010 with a parliamentary supermajority.
Has since curtailed press freedoms, judicial independence, and checks on executive power.
Many describe Hungary as a “soft dictatorship” or “illiberal democracy.”
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (Turkey)
First elected prime minister in 2003, later president in 2014.
Used electoral legitimacy to centralize power, suppress opposition, and change Turkey’s political system into a strong presidential model.
Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe)
Initially came to power via elections in 1980 after independence.
Transitioned into an authoritarian ruler, clinging to power for decades.
Nicolбs Maduro (Venezuela)
Elected in 2013 after Hugo Chбvez’s death.
Accused of manipulating elections, suppressing dissent, and using authoritarian measures to stay in power.
Slobodan Miloљević (Serbia / Yugoslavia)
Rose through electoral means in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Later ruled with increasing authoritarianism, suppressing opponents and media.
Juan Perуn (Argentina)
Elected president in 1946.
While popular and democratic in origin, he concentrated power, suppressed opposition, and established a personality cult that bordered on authoritarianism.
You can rationalize all you want. I'm confident I didn't want Kamala Harris who never won the primary. That was a joke. Nobody wanted her to be president and she dropped out with zero dellegates. One big fat Zero.
I voted for Trump to recover the economy and foreign policy. 3 wars stopped and russia is starting to cave. Throwing out bad criminals that aren't supposed to be in this country.
Why did 85 million people vote for Trump? They were educated before the radical left took over education. Critical thinking skills.. Not going by what the lying bullshit media.. What makes you so stupid is pulling off propaganda and not even getting paid.. You are their bitch..
Oh one question I have fpr you and think carefully...We are on a dick and cunt site.. Pornography,,, nothing more.. You've got ZERO pictures of you.. You've received gifts with zero pictures.. i can see if you are on instagram, facebook trying to get followers for your cause.. Why on a dick site with no pictures?
Do you realize that you have not put up ONE argument for why Kamala Harris would be worse than Trump? I agree that Democratic voters were stuck with her. So? You still assess her plans vs his plans.
Trump is hurting your economy. Can't you see the signs yet?
You keep repeating that Trump stopped 3 wars. Which ones?
No one would blame you for throwing out criminals. That's not what your doing. The large majority of the people he's throwing out are just working at their future, while your employers are profiting from them.
Not 85 million, but 77.3 million, less than the 81 million who voted for Biden in 2020.
If you cannot make ONE logical argument, based on real facts, or on honest opinions, for ANYTHING, don't bullshit me about critical thinking skills.
Scroll back to my earlier pictures, than you see nudes. I stop sharing nudes when the site changed its rules. I'm not sharing my private information with all the vindictive lunatics on this site.
Time magazine makes Hitler man of the year in 19 FUCKING 38 ... Liars.. The jews were being murdered by the 1000s at that time and he's man of the fucking year??? knowing he wrote mein kamof racial cleansing right? Guess who was president at the time??? Franklin D Roosevelt.... A fucck democrat.
.
The vatican giving him the prestige.. Winston chrchill praises him... American Industrialists invessted by giving him BILLIONS buyi8ng weapons of mass destrrction. rising and coming to power.. You really think its going to be a fair election?? BUT I already told you this.. You're reading comprehension sucks even though you do write in english right? Very well versed When you lie.
Oh anyone can post a hard=on on this site. This is not your primary objective....I'm not here to fight with people. But if you challenge me with the truth then the truth is what you are going to get.
And now in 2026, the same business model,, BUT THIS TIME,, the jews fought back,, fought back hard,, very hard. They beat the shit out of all of them then Trump finished the job. NOW GAZA is ours.. We did not ask for asked for this.. YOU DID. Well,.,, we finished it.. West Bank, Gaza is ours.
This is a movie in 1061,, word 3for word.. This is a documentary.. Great picture.. The whole world brought Hitler to power,,, Not the Germans who risked their lives saving Jews.

You have no idea who you are writimng to,, do you? I don't have to prove anything to you.. i know the truth the whole truth.. Hitler would not have come to power without the help of the united states.
But don't take my word for it.. Find out for yourself. that is not my responsibility and I don't owe you anything.
Below are the official results of your elections.
It shows that I spoke the truth and you were lying.
You, nor any of the other right-winger, corrected your mistake (or lie).
Is that your 'Moral correctness' at work?
There is only one morally correct response to this: acknowledging your mistake.

You're denying official election results?
It's mind boggling to me how much you guys are required to lie to yourself, to keep the delusion alive.
It doesn't matter? Are you saying that it wouldn't have mattered if he had lost, because he would have just stolen the election anyway? Or are you saying that elections don't matter anymore, because Trump will make sure there will never be one again?
Say something relevant about what you want for your country, instead of useless generalisms. The future of your country always matters. Your future is tied to the future of everyone. How about investing in clean energy? It provides good paying jobs and it doesn't pollute your air and water as much. It's also getting cheaper, while fossil fuels keep getting more expensive, because the easy sources are running out.
I gave you the link and addressing..
Do you have any other questions?
Everutjomg your've shown here has been asked and answered. I'll leave it up to you creating your own conclusions.
History is repeating itself, and you are one of those stupid people. You're even worse.
You have not answered any questions. You have addressed a lot of them, but that's not the same. Conclusions are the end result of a logical process. Your claims are either false or irrelevant and there is no correct logic supporting your arguments. You have decided that you like Trump, for the rhetoric he is using, and you make yourself believe all the lies he's telling you, so you can conclude that he is right and 'morally correct'.
Your morality is based on a self-inflicted delusion, you have admitted this. You don't even want to explain it, you just tell people to go through the same process of delusion as yourself. That would never result in the same 'morality' that you think you have. It's based on supernatural nonsense like the main religions, but at least they try to be consistent among each other. They base their 'morality' on picking and choosing texts in ancient books, filled with contradictions and scientific ignorance, but at least they are able to justify their beliefs. They can point to a line in their holy book and repeat what they were told to believe what it means. You cannot do that. You say that your morality is based on Abrahamic scripture, but you cannot explain how. You encourage reading Plato, but you do not show any knowledge of what he taught. Plato's main principle was the pursuit of truth through reasoned dialogue. REASONED!!! You're not interested in dialogue, and certainly not reasoned. Reason means using a logical process for argumentation. I don't see you having the ability. I don't see you being interested in learning the skill. There is no truth or sound argument that anyone could provide you, that would make you change your mind on anything. You will call any fact that doesn't agree with you fake and you will call every argument that doesn't lead to an outcome that you like nonsense. You think that you already have all the conclusions, so you will lie to yourself to not upset those conclusions. You will take them to your death bed, even if Trump himself caused your death bed. If believing in flat earth would further Trump's agenda, he could make you believe it in a minute. It's a damn shame, and it's fucking dangerous. You have exactly what it takes for Trump to create his 'Drittes Reich'.
I said We've been through this. Asked and answered.
What is your questions?
I know I annoy you. All narcissistic liberals don't like me. I don't care. Further this is a debate of different ideas, I'm very educated with humanities and common ethics and morals. It makes no sense of me to share my personal feeling describing your character.
Europes taking advantage is the united is states is over. I know it sucks for you but with this format I fell better on the path our country is taking.
You're just parroting Trump, on the taking advantage trope. The US wanted to be the arms manufacturer, to protect your dominance and make lots of money from selling them. None of your wars were in favor of Europe, it was all to keep you the superpower, to destroy any alternatives for capitalism, to steal natural resources, and to deal revenge on the terrorists who attacked YOU. Even WWII was just your country eliminating a competitive power. Europe supported the US for decades, while NATO was only intended to further your domination over Europe, against Russia. We can defend ourselves against Russia, our military is three times as large, but Ukraine needs weapons that the US produces to defend itself. The US mostly sent old stockpiled, almost expired, munitions, while Europe actually paid for it at new price.
It sucks for our citizens, because it will cost lots of money to create our own military industrial complex. Still, it's better then having to trust the US to be our supplier. It's enriching too many corrupt selfish assholes, who have an incentive to keep the world in a continuous state of war. I hope the EU doesn't make the same mistake, to have wealthy people own the military industrial complex, because it should be completely publicly owned. As long as people make money from war, we cannot have peace.
How is anything I said there related to the courts?
Sure, Trump is ignoring all the court rulings. At some point, even his Supreme Court is going to rule against him, out of pure self preservation. That will be the end of your judicial branch, because Trump will destroy them too. Your legislative branch is already broken. They are just serving Trump.
Why don't you just admit that you want a dictator?
I say "Trump", but it looks like he's not long for this world, so it will probably be JD, who will destroy your democracy. Do you trust him to be your dictator?
being a world leader is a stressful job.
look how it has aged previous presidents of both parties.
i didn't even want obama or biden to kick the bucket while in office, and i couldn't stand either of them. i wanted biden to retire and sit on the porch with his dog biting his ankles .
Maybe you have not made fun of Obama or Biden dying, but you didn't speak out against it either.
Also, I think I am more justified in making fun of Trump's health, because he is a hate-filled sadistic motherfucker, who wishes misery and misfortune onto lots of people, while Obama and Biden are not.
What Goes Around... Comes Around.
Also, I don't want Trump to die, because I think JD is more dangerous. He's just as evil, but smarter, so more effective. I want Trump to stick around for years, but I want him to be too weak to do anything, and too strong to let go of his power. I want him to hold the Republican party hostage for a long time.
He should damage your country so much, that even his biggest fans turn away. It's unfortunate, but necessary, because most of you have a learning disability.
in this case?

Meanwhile after Iran brutally destroyed by trump they find themselves with blackouts running out of water yet they still show their hatred for Israel and america. This by far is not their worstproroblem right now. Can you imagine the money lost by billionairs investing in the destruction of Israel.. Take a guess.
I'm very satisfied with the 2024 election. I did the right thing. You didnt....
2 pieces of advice I tell any ovalheaded libberal.. The more hate you give to trump who is not your president,, the less love you can share with your loved ones if you have loveones;. The other advice is to start worrying about the gross national product in the netherlands. When they go backrupt because of crippling tariffs you're gonna make sure you have noperishable items when the economic collapse starts hitting the beaking point.;.
.
You only care if a president is senile, when it's the Democrats. Trump's mind has been slipping for a while. He's now worse than Biden was.
His health is declining rapidly too. Have you seen his hand and his ankles? Last week people were thinking he already died. None of the right-wing grifters were confident enough to make fun of that. They know he could die at any moment and they know your officials would not be transparent about Trump lying on his death bed. They are not being honest about his health this very moment. He is clearly getting regular IV's in that hand. What is he getting?
"after Iran brutally destroyed by trump"
"the money lost by billionairs investing in the destruction of Israel"
I have no idea where your mind is going with that. It could be anything, because you live in an alternate reality.
"I did the right thing. You didnt.... " I don't live in your country, remember? I'm not voting in your elections.
My 'hate' for Trump is logical. He is a danger to democracy and humanity. He is trying to turn the US in a true dictatorship. Your democracy has been failing for decades, but your side is destroying it completely.
You seem to forget that the "crippling tariffs" are only for trading with the US. We don't need to export to you, we have the rest of the world. Still, if your citizens want our products, they just need to pay more for them. So far, no company has decided to move its production to the US, to escape the tariffs. Several companies are strengthening their production capacity outside of the US, to escape the tariffs for the rest of the world. The economic collapse is already hitting you.

What Economists Are Observing Now:
1. Deteriorating Labor Market
Flattening job growth: July’s jobs report revealed only 73,000 new positions added, far below expectations, with May and June significantly revised downward—down from 144K to 19K in May, and from 147K to 14K in June. That puts the three-month average at a mere 35,000 new jobs per month, the weakest since the pandemic.
Across-the-board job cuts: Over 53% of U.S. industries are now cutting jobs, with only healthcare still growing.
Labor participation decline: Despite low unemployment rates, labor force participation has stagnated, partly due to fewer immigrant workers, making the unemployment rate a poor recession signal.
Moody’s economist Mark Zandi—among others—warns the economy is “on the precipice of recession,” citing flat consumer spending, contracting construction and manufacturing, and rising inflation. He doubts even rate cuts by the Fed would suffice.
2. Slumping Consumer Confidence & Spending
Confidence dips: The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence index fell to 97.4 in August (from 98.7). More concerningly, the expectations sub-index dropped to 74.8, a level below 80 often seen as a warning sign of recession.
Spending retreats: Consumers are pulling back on major purchases like appliances and travel; the outlook for the job market and income was also downgraded.
3. Economic Leading Indicators Signal Weakness
The Conference Board’s Leading Economic Index (LEI) declined 0.3% in June to 98.8, deeper than expected. Weak components include consumer expectations, manufacturing orders, and rising unemployment claims. Overall, the LEI has fallen 2.8% in 2025, trailing the 1.3% drop in late 2024.
4. Private Credit Bubble Risk
Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan CEO) and others are increasingly alarmed by the rapid expansion of the $2 trillion private credit sector—lending outside banking channels with high leverage, weak regulations, and limited transparency—a setup reminiscent of pre-2008 vulnerabilities.
Dimon also warns that fading pandemic-era stimulus and persisting tariff policies could further destabilize the economy.
5. High Tariffs & Policy Interference Undermine Confidence
Tariffs are dragging growth and fueling inflation: 88% of economists in a recent NABE survey believe tariffs will slow growth and raise inflation, with widespread concern over erosion of institutional independence (e.g., interference with the Fed and BLS).
Political interference is creating instability: Economist Claudia Sahm stresses that moves to undermine key economic institutions like the Fed and Bureau of Labor Statistics threaten credibility and could worsen inflation and instability.
cunt-man, anannas is not "dumb" persay,he just does not have a baseline of any sort to operate from.
he has no religion. which if for no other reason provides a foundation to build on.
his foundation is built on sand.
Compassion
Honesty
Justice
Courage
Generosity
Humility
Patience
Forgiveness
Gratitude
Loyalty
Respect
Responsibility
Self-control
Wisdom
Kindness
Secular moral standards value all of them too. Without any religious basis, just because they serve humanity.
Who wipes his ass on all of those values? TRUMP!!!
Biden represented most of those values to a far greater extend.
Here's a list of vices, that all religions universally condemn:
(so does secular morality, because these vices hurt humanity)
Cruelty
Dishonesty
Injustice
Cowardice
Greed
Arrogance
Impatience
Vindictiveness
Ingratitude
Betrayal
Disrespect
Irresponsibility
Lack of self-control
Foolishness
Hatred
It's an almost 100% accurate description of Trump's character.
If you even try to contradict that, your foundation is built on sand.
But hey, you can still fool yourself, by saying: "God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called.".
So, what does it look like when Satan picks a representative?
Mother Teresa? Mahatma Gandhi? Martin Luther King Jr.? Nelson Mandela?
Honesty, ha,yea right.
Justice, blacks were severely punished under her rule in the justice system and etc/
Why would a black woman be less tough on crime? She performed her job the way she was supposed to. There are no specific claims that have not been debunked. "There is no credible evidence that Harris had a policy of intentionally giving harsher sentences because someone was Black, beyond what the criminal statutes allowed and what prosecutors normally do in similar jurisdictions."
Kamala Harris supported broad criminal‑justice reforms, both
in her earlier roles (e.g. District Attorney, Attorney General, Senator) and in her campaign/planning phases, to create a system that is more fair, less punitive, and more focused on rehabilitation, accountability, and public safety, without perpetuating racial and economic injustice.
Compassion: A high school friend of hers who was suffering abuse was offered refuge in Harris’s home; Harris shared meals with her when she showed up to school without lunch.
Honesty: She didn’t pretend to just follow the standard Democratic gun reform narrative, she admitted to having a gun and that a burglar would get shot.
Justice: As Vice President, Harris supported the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal and Build Back Better framework, which included investments aiming at environmental justice, affordable housing, support for underserved communities. She met with mayors, Republican and Democratic, to discuss how these frameworks can help cities. She has consistently advocated that no person, regardless of status, is above the law.
Courage: She has made public calls for upholding democratic norms and resisting threats to institutions, even when it is politically risky. As Attorney General of California, she took on large entities; for example, going after banks and corporate executives.
Generosity: Via her work supporting underserved entrepreneurs: the federal investment via the “Capital Readiness Program” to help small business incubators in underserved areas. She gave a $20,000 grant to the nonprofit BANANAS in Oakland, which helps families with childcare and supports child care providers, especially during the pandemic. While serving in public office, she has supported internship and outreach programs specifically targeting underrepresented youth, helping them get exposure to careers in public service and law.
Humility: She has publicly spoken about her upbringing, and how seeing how her mother was treated (because of accent, appearance) taught her to be humble. Also, in a speech she said that listening to “individual stories … people you’re sitting next to … there is so much about this world that we know and don’t know. And that is very humbling.”
Patience: She has engaged in long-term policy work — e.g. trying to build bipartisan coalitions, dealing with slow legislative processes, working with mayors and local governments over years to implement programs.
Forgiveness: She endured fiery clashes with Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg, during 2019–20 Democratic primary, but as VP she co-sponsored Warren’s Price Gouging Prevention Act in April 2020 and toured with Buttigieg, including visits to Charlotte and promoted his bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
Gratitude: She has acknowledged and expressed thanks to community leaders, other officials, supporters, volunteers. For example, in meetings with mayors, she thanked them for leadership and collaboration in implementing infrastructure and support programs.
Numerous Republican former officials (secretaries of defense, governors, etc.) have endorsed Harris or have supported her campaign, despite being from the opposing party. She’s made efforts to reach more moderate or independent voters, promising that her administration could include Republicans. She has also pledged to build a bipartisan council of advisors. Former staffers have shared stories of Harris remembering birthdays, life events, and sending personal notes—small acts that show appreciation and humanity in a high-pressure political environment.
Loyalty: She has shown loyalty to her publicly stated values of supporting underserved communities, civil rights, democracy — sticking with those over time, across different roles (District Attorney, Attorney General, Senator, Vice President).
Respect: Towards veterans: in the 2024 Veterans Day fact sheet, the Biden-Harris administration reported nearly 48,000 veterans permanently housed in 2024; hundreds of millions in grants via HUD-VA Supportive Housing Program; expanded legal assistance for homeless veterans. Harris proposed legislation (Veterans Exposed to Toxic PFAS Act) that would require Veterans Affairs to provide health care and benefits to veterans exposed to PFAS chemicals at military bases.
Responsibility: Accepting the role of Vice President, which is a function in service of the President, leading initiatives like helping small businesses, pushing for policies that have large long-term impact. Also, the transition planning work (when she was the nominee) following established protocols with the GSA.
Self-Control: In interviews/political debates, choosing when and how to respond. For instance, letting Trump dig himself into a hole, resulting in more outrage about his words, than she could have achieved by attacking him. Also, in insisting on structure or councils rather than ad hoc decisions (e.g. the proposed bipartisan council). These show restraint and deliberation.
Wisdom: Using her experience across levels of government to propose solutions that combine practical needs (infrastructure, small business support, affordable housing) with political realities; advocating for diversity of thought in her cabinet and advisory bodies. Also, her comments about humility reflect recognition of complexity in issues. During a speech to the South Carolina NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in June 2019, she acknowledged critiques of her record, spoke about what it's like to balance public safety with concerns about racial justice and discussed how to repair relationships between law enforcement and black communities.
Kindness: Showing personal empathy to individuals in town halls or constituent meetings. As Attorney General of California and later as U.S. Senator, Harris has met privately with families affected by police violence or gun violence, offering condolences and listening to their stories. For example, she met with the family of Stephon Clark, an unarmed Black man killed by police in Sacramento, and expressed empathy while advocating for reforms. In 2019, a video went viral showing Harris comforting a young girl who was nervous and crying during a campaign event. Harris knelt down to speak with her directly, offering reassurance and encouragement.
Has visited kids that were sick , plenty of veterans, but you can google, i am just taking a quick break from yard work
Self-dealing: The Foundation admitted it transferred income or assets to “disqualified persons,” which is a legal term meaning someone who is not allowed to benefit from the foundation (e.g. the founder, his businesses, etc.).
Use of funds for purposes that benefited Trump or his businesses (or for self-promotional items) rather than purely for charitable purpose. For example: buying a portrait of himself with foundation money, using foundation funds to settle Trump's legal disputes, paying for promotions of his businesses or clubs.
Political activity with charity money: There were allegations and findings that the charity made donations or grants which were timed or directed in ways that helped his political campaigns. That is usually disallowed for a tax-exempt charitable foundation.
Lack of compliance: failing to register properly in some jurisdictions, failing to do required audits, misreporting.
Legal consequences: In 2018 the Trump Foundation was ordered to dissolve by New York courts. In 2019 Trump (and the Foundation) were ordered to pay more than $2 million in damages to other charities for misusing funds.
Are you saying that you think that US citizens who paid 10 years of taxes shouldn't get any social security payments and medicare? Why not? They paid into it, so they should at least be partially entitled to it.---->I just wrote it.. why asking me if I said it.. They use a mathematical formula of entitlements.
"Pregnant women who are single parents trying to bring up children that were abondened by the father should receive medicaid."
Well, don't they?>>>if I said it well it must be then..
Oh sure, those immigrants are living in luxury, while Americans are homeless. Tired old bullshit. OK, how about fixing homelessness then? I just asked you why Trump isn't doing anything to improve the lives of people. Your country has enough billionaires who can pay a bit more taxes, to eliminate homelessness. Instead, those spending cuts are going to LOWER the taxes of the billionaires. Is this justifiable on trumps order to cut medicaid>>>YEs he has.. Gas prices are lower by 30% so figure out the math. No taxes on tipsl social security and home equity taxes. Better national sovereignty promotes increased safety. He's down to one war now. Less money the taxper is stolen from. Homelessness by far outnumbers in liberal states as compared to red states.Home interest rates are decreasing.
Is this justifiable on trumps order to cut medicaid?.....Well if someone breaks into your house would you give him your money? The moment you cross the plane of our sovereignty you are not legal therefore disqualifying you. leaving a good resource for people that deserve its benefits. United states citizens is not cut. If yhour lazy and capable of going school or work this disqualifies you. Its fair.
I don't care much for your "CNN, Msnbc..e.g". What is your justification for calling them all "fake"? Explain the difference between them and Fox'News' and 'News'max. You're not mentioning them, so you seem to think those are more reliable. What are you basing that on?
"independent stations"? Do you think Fox'News' and 'News'max are "independent stations"?
"I just wrote it" Yes, without any justification. Here's mine: if you pay into a program, you're entitled to benefit from the program. Simple JUSTICE.
"They use a mathematical formula of entitlements." Good!
"if I said it well it must be then.." No, you're saying lots of false things. A single mother making $100,000/year would not qualify for Medicaid.
"Gas prices are lower by 30%" compared to what? The height of the pandemic?
"No taxes on tips" are not helping for the lowest incomes, because they already pay almost no taxes. Tips are very susceptibele to get scammed by employers. Just pay those people a good wage, instead of making them rely on tips.
Those "home equity taxes" are mostly an issue for Higher-income households. The changes that Trump introduced hardly affect the poor & lower middle class. It result in the rich paying less taxes, which means that either the poor & lower middle class make up the difference or programs that help them get cut.
Trump cut taxes for the wealthiest people, but his tariffs result in big tax increases for everyone. The 50% poorest Americans, will see an about $1,300–$1,700 increase in expenses, per year, per household, resulting from Trump's tariffs. Nearly 60% of Americans don't have enough money put away to afford a $1000 emergency expense. Trump is sinking them all with his tariffs.
Can you answer any question without bullshit comparisons? What do medicaid and burglary have in common. "sovereignty"? Illegals don't get medicaid. There are however lots of undocumented immigrants who pay into medicaid, medicare and social security, without ever benefiting from it.
Why does every subject end up with 'illegals'? I'm asking you about AMERICANS, who get their benefits cut by Trump and who are now paying more taxes, in the form of tariffs.
You're not justifying anything you're saying, that's lazy.
Do some work. Look up facts and data. Put evidence to your claims.
Your 'news' doesn't do a better job of explaining what's happening, and that's about your own country.
It was time that your real you came out.
Besides that, our talk-shows actually let knowledgeable people, scientists and specialists talk. Your talk-shows just invite celebrities to talk about serious topics, which is useless. There is only one show that does that in my country and it's very right-wing. Their 'specialists' are paid lobbyists and failed opinion makers.
We have several long current affairs programs, where specialists are actually discussing difficult topics, without just puking one-liners or cheap rhetoric at each other. The host actually interjects, if they catch them in factual errors, and make them justify bold statements. Your dumb-ass Ambassador Pete Hoekstra found that out on his first day. He was challenged by journalists to justify his fake news about The Netherlands, and he didn't want to answer. They didn't accept his dismissals, so he had to leave. Later he had to apologize, or he would have needed to resign.
The Dutch are known around the world for being 'direct', because we don't accept bullshit.
You accept lies, as part of the deal in politics, we don't.
When our politicians get caught lying, they get publicly shamed for days, weeks, or sometimes even years.
There is nothing Donald Trump did wrong other than picking his cabinet unwisely during his first term and was unprepared for the democrats to go all in with cheating. I understand his business model
Trump derrangement syndrome is a very series disease fuled by people that lie in the media to you.. They keep you off balanced and angry. You can't see past their smoke screens of propaganda and bullshit. Anyone that is educated and transparent can clearly see this but not people with profound egoism with TDS.. What makes it worse than that is that they know how to get under your skin and off balance. Seperating anericans from each other they are hoping to create civil war here while putin stays in the war building up his nuclear arsenol..
Everu time upi cam trum[ names fpr crimes he didn't commit or just calling him a common crook you are blind seeing what the democrats have done for 250 uears with slavory, then when abolished they created the first terror organization in the modern age.. The Klu Kluz Klan,,public lynching, public hanging all the way to the 60s recriotomg recruiting polics as members and going into churches to murder christians in alabama and mississippi.. I can document that.
Socialism has never worked,,, ever and you want socialism..
A dumnb person does the same thing 1oce,, then realizes that if he does the same thing it ends up in the same result.. How many times have yuou done this.?
Gas prices at peak here in florida topped out at %4... NNow they are at 2.85they droooed 38.7 [ercemt/ amd falling more. With joe biden gas prices went more than 100^
Trying some Socratic games, I see, like "What's the difference between leadership and ruling".
In a democracy, 'leadership' to me means: having principles, communicating them to the citizens, asking citizens for support to turn those principles into policies that represent those principles, then show them to everyone and ask for their votes, and then, no matter how many votes you get, have the elected representative do the very best that they can to get the policies into effect.
To me, 'ruling' means dominating your personal believes onto others, to shape the world towards you own vision and to get hold of more power, for self-gratification.
How about ignoring Congress and pushing through everything by Emergency Powers & Executive Orders? Trump is breaking all previous records. Is that 'leadership' or 'ruling'?
Criticizing your president is not TDS. The guy is breaking all trade agreements and imposing random tariffs on everyone. He is breaking all agreements on Climate Change. We made a deal with your country, for the preservation of humanity, and your guy says "Fuck humanity!". The guy is threatening the safety of many countries, including the whole of the EU. If we don't pay up, he will withhold weapons from us and let Russia conquer us. That's a Maffia move man. You can try to justify it, but me criticizing it is not TDS, that's self-preservation.
"Socialism has never worked" You're calling a lot of countries 'socialist'. Half of Europe is 'socialist' by your standards. The most 'socialist' countries are the Scandinavian countries. Those countries have been doing very well for many decades. They provide a much better quality of life to its people than the US. Meanwhile, the working class in the US has been getting poorer for decades. Is your version of capitalism working? Well, it is for a very small minority of very wealthy people. The reason for that is corruption, not 'Moral correctness'.
Why do you keep talking about gas prices? The president has almost no effect on them. Gas prices are 2.5-4% of people's expenses. They go up and down, due to supply and demand and global crisis. It's the industry that decide how much you should pay. The government can only decide on the taxes or to sacrifice nature and human health for more oil extraction. Americans who live around the fossil fuel industry are dying young, from a.o. cancer, at a much higher rate than Americans who live far from it. Many Americans still don't have clean tap-water.
American citizens have been suffering low incomes, poor healthcare, expensive housing, expensive other insurances, expensive groceries, expensive education, poor working conditions, poor mental health, addiction, fear of their kids getting shot in school, and lack of time off to enjoy their lives. People like you either don't care about solutions, or they care more about blaming people they hate for it. Neither will make your lives any better. If you think that you're doing fine now, I promise you that you don't have to wait long, before you're NOT.
Are your billionaires homeless or starving? Trump seems to think so.
Or is he just enriching himself and his buddies who helped him win?
You're either lying to cover for him or you're completely ignorant. >>>>>>>>this reply coming from you is expected. You are a liberal far extremist.. You're admitted it. I'm not at all surprized and expected your attitudes the way they are. More than expected. A conservative debating moral correctness to liberal excrement is beyond impossibe..You are an athiest therefore moral correctness to you does not exist.
Can you explain the value system of a "liberal extremist"?
I'm a "liberal" for social issues, which means that I don't care what people do in their private lives, as long as it doesn't affect me in a negative way. Religion is fine, as long as you don't force it onto other people's children and you don't put religious dogma into law. Is that "extremist"?
Economically, I'm NOT liberal, I'm a democratic socialist, that means that I support changing the capitalist system to a socialist system, when we succeed in convincing people to vote for that. First we need to make news and information independent, so it's not funded by billionaires or owned by companies that are owned by billionaires. If people are indoctrinated with capitalist propaganda 24/7, they will keep believing capitalism is great, until it starves them to death.
I'm so goddamned tired of the stupid argument "You are an atheist, therefore moral correctness to you does not exist."
You say that you're not a Christian, but you're using a very tired trope of Christian apologists. DAMN!
What is "moral correctness"? Not killing anyone, because the '10 commandments' say 'Thou shalt not kill'? How about all the killing in god's name? If you are not a Christian, than you don't even have "Thou shalt not kill" as "moral correctness". How does your self-induced 'Abrahamic' superstition tell you that killing is wrong? Did you feel it, in your heart? SO DO I!
It's simple: getting killed doesn't imagine to be a fun experience.
I don't consider me to be that different from other people, so I can imagine that other people don't particularly like getting killed either. That's why I think killing is wrong. So, I think: how can we create a world with less killing in it? Maybe, if everyone has no good reason to kill other people? That should be a world with less CONFLICT over resources, which means less inequity. Can you follow that thinking? Would it be possible to create "moral correctness" from that?
You're telling me that I have to imagine some supernatural nonsense, so I can believe that some god wants me to behave in a certain way? What kind of god would care? What reason do I have to believe in that god? Do I need to imagine a god that cares about me being 'morally correct', so I can be 'morally correct'? That's basically what you believe, right? If not, explain it. In a clear, logical way. Can you do that? Or do you need to be an arrogant asshole, who tells himself that he is 'morally correct', to do that?
for never paying.
This is known to EVERYONE, so you're lying.
Key Lawsuits & Payment Disputes Involving Donald Trump:
1. Mechanic’s Liens & Contractor Complaints (Since the 1980s)
Scale of complaints: Over 200 mechanic’s liens filed against Trump properties by contractors and employees for unpaid work
Notable case—Taj Mahal casino (1990): At least 253 subcontractors were not paid in full or on time. Trump Resorts International bankruptcy led some vendors to receive as little as one penny on the dollar
Payment tactics ("Trump discount"): Former Trump Plaza president said Trump often paid just 75% of agreed amounts; bankruptcies often left contractors with only 30 cents on the dollar
2. Specific Contractor Cases
Cabinet builder (1980s): The Friel family submitted an $83,600 bill for work at Harrah’s at Trump Plaza. The company never got paid; this dispute contributed to its closure.
Piano supplier: An Atlantic City businessman sold $100,000 worth of pianos to Trump’s Taj Mahal but waited months for payment. Trump allegedly offered 70 cents on the dollar, or encourage waiting until the casino turned a profit—or risk bankruptcy.
3. Laborers & Unions
Trump Tower labor lawsuit (1983–1999): Laborers filed a class-action claiming unpaid pension and medical benefits, and exploitation of undocumented workers on the Trump Tower site. The case dragged on for years; Trump ultimately paid $1.375 million in a sealed settlement, unsealed in 2017.
4. Employee Wage Disputes
Fair Labor Standards Act (since 2005): Trump Plaza (Atlantic City) and Trump Mortgage LLC were cited 24 times for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage. These resulted in back-wage payments
Dishwasher at Mar-a-Lago (2007): A worker sued for unpaid overtime; Mar-a-Lago agreed to a $7,500 settlement in 2008.
5. Major Real Estate Renovations
Trump International Hotel, Washington, D.C. (2016/17): Three firms filed liens claiming over $5 million in unpaid bills for plumbing, electrical, and finish work on the Old Post Office renovation.
6. Agents, Brokers & Professional Associates
Real estate broker (2013): Rana Williams sued for $735,212 in unpaid commissions (2009–2012). Settlement occurred in 2015 under confidential terms.
Mortgage broker (2007): Jennifer McGovern secured a judgment of $298,274 against Trump Mortgage LLC for unpaid commissions; as of 2016, the judgment remained unsatisfied.
7. Lawyers & Internal Disputes
Some attorneys representing Trump later sued him for unpaid legal fees. For example, Morrison Cohen LLP—once his legal counsel—was on the receiving end of billing disputes in 2008.
Michael Cohen (2019): Trump’s former lawyer filed suit seeking nearly $2 million in unpaid legal fees. The case is still pending.
8. Fraud, Breach of Contract & Business Disputes
American Communications Network (2018 ): A class-action accused Trump, his adult children, and a Trump Organization affiliate of misleading recruits to enroll in a multilevel marketing scheme; still ongoing.
Ithaca Capital / Panama project (2020): Former partners in the Trump-managed Panama project sued for mismanagement and breach of contract, seeking $15 million in damages; the case includes fraud claims.

Putin has killed 1000's of his own men and 10000's of Ukrainian people and i wish it had not happened. but he said early on, denazification was 1 of the reasons. nazi men buttfucked every young boy they could find and forced them to follow the nazis, research the hitler youth. could this child stuff have anything to do with that?
You're literally parroting Putin's propaganda to me.
Is this still you, or a troll-farm in the Kremlin?
According to Russia, you are all Nazis too. That's only 30% true.
I know that Ukraine is NOT EU material. I voted against them
in the referendum about the association agreement with Ukraine.
If I had the power, I would kick Hungary out of the EU.
That's no justification for Russia to attack them.
Those countries will not improve under Russian domination.
Having your own government as a country, that's actual sovereignty.
All your ex-presidents try the speaking gigs at least for a while.
Bush did, he's just not paid as much, because he sounds so incredibly dumb.
Jamie Oliver gets $500,000 per gig too. Are there Russians paying for his food propaganda?
True, NAFTA is mostly a product from Democrats. Trump renegotiated NAFTA → rebranded it as USMCA. Then, in his next term he said: "What idiot created USMCA? Cancel it!"
"Once NATO is cleaned up"? Is it dirty now? What simplistic language.
The American taxpayer is paying so much for 'defense', because you use your power for cheap resources. Don't expect the rest of the world to pay for those interests. Decide for yourself if that is good for the American tax-payer.
The result is a big fucking military, which could defend Europe, but the last time you did that was in WWII. In all your other conflicts, it was your interests, your regime change wars, your retribution on terrorists, and Europe came to help you. The first time in 80 years that Europe is at risk, Trump tells us: "You have not paid enough for our dominance in the world, why should I help you? Pay more, or I'll let Russia conquer you.". That's a Mafia boss speaking.
I cannot make heads or tails from the rest of it, it's irrelevant.
Bullshit green new deal? Can I conclude that you reject climate change?
While the 9/11 terrorist attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda, and Osama bin Laden himself, the 9/11 Commission found that the organization was heavily financed by wealthy SAUDI individuals and charities, who contributed to a system of indirect financial support that benefited the terrorist group.
The 19 hijackers on 9/11 were from four countries: 15 were from Saudi Arabia, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Egypt, and one was from Lebanon. All were affiliated with al-Qaeda, a global SUNNI Islamist jihadist movement. Iran's population is 90% Shi'a Islam, their autocratic theocracy is based on Shi'a Islam. Iran and Saudi Arabia are mortal enemies. It's ridiculous to blame Iran more than Saudi Arabia for 9/11. Obama had Osama bin Laden killed.
Explain to me how George W Bush was going after bin Laden, because
it never made sense to me. If you think Iran was the #1 sponsor, then what about Iraq? There was NO al-Qaeda in Iraq. A spelling error?
In Afghanistan, sure and Taliban too. It didn't require a war though, their government was willing to allow the US in, to destroy the terrorists.
Bush was just satisfying the hawks, who wanted to own the whole
Middle East. Could it be that the Bush family was heavily profiting
from Military expenses and oil?
In any case, those wars turned out a massive failure.
I don't worship Obama, I think he did many things wrong. He should have used his presidency to show Americans that Democrats are the true workers party, instead he played nice with the billionaires too.
Then you voted for a billionaire, with the help of the #1 billionaire buying votes for him. When they won, #1 got to destroy all the government expenses that he didn't like, which mostly affected the poor working class, while eliminating agencies that bothered his companies. Then, the number one priority of Trump was giving tax-brakes to those billionaires. Just repeating it, so you can't call your side the 'working class heroes'.
Maybe you still will, but it would be ridiculous to everyone with a brain.
But I pity you though
.it's sad but who cares about you? I dontfor they say a stupid person makes the same mistake through ignorance.. you have made a billion mistakes continuously
The ideology behind the holocaust is using a minority as scapegoat, for politics failing the working class, by a bombastic leader who demands absolute loyalty and accepts no critique, and who stirs up hate and uses nationalism, to gain absolute power, and then uses it to make people do horrible violence and crimes against humanity.
That's exactly what Trump is doing / is willing to do.
If you think you know better, come up with something specific,
instead of your useless rhetoric.
If Ukraine can do more than defend itself, we would see what?
I think you would see a Russia that is losing and has to retreat.
Why would it be different from the US going away from Afghanistan?
The US could have nuked Afghanistan, but didn't.
Why would you think that Putin would do that?
Putin is evil, a cold motherfucker, but he is strategic.
Can you pull your head out of your ass and think strategically?
What does Russia/Putin have to gain from a nuclear attack?
Does that bring him or Russia closer to his goals?
and besides, I am beginning to think that liberals use war to eliminate conservatives. reason being, there is no draft, only people willing to serve and protect the country go into the military now. if there is a war, those folks die, eliminating them from the voting base.
The billionaires are reverting humanity to feudalism.
Don't you think that preventing that might be a priority for liberals?
War is only a distraction from the fascist dictators who are working to achieve
that feudalism. Nationalism is just a handy tool to brainwash the masses.
You're defending Trump for attacking Iran and Yemen, clear acts of war.
You were OK, with him threatening Greenland, Mexico, Canada and Panama.
I only support war in case of legitimate self defense.
--------------------------------------- added after 11 hours
The newest is that Trump is pushing an invasion of Venezuela.
The US deployed seven warships and one nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine in the southern Caribbean, near Venezuelan waters, involving over 4,500 personnel, including around 2,200 Marines.
Who is pushing for war here?
Buying drugs is easier than buying bread.
Still, I'm not using drugs, because I have something to live for.
The fact that Americans use so much drugs, is not the availability of drugs,
it's that your fucked-up country doesn't give people something to live for.
You're an imbecile for saying that my side loves war, and then finding justifications
for EVERY WAR that your imbecile is starting or thinking about.
Republicans are responsible for destroying Venezuela, turning it into a drugs cartel infested hell-hole, because you didn't like a socialist country doing so well.
Then you destroyed it further and now it is what it is: a dead country.
What is your solution? "Let's start bombing it too, I'm sure that will help."
"maybe to a moron it makes sense"
new york needs the national guard now and quick, that is a shit hole.
Several sanctuary cities need the guard patrolling them.
Marjorie Taylor Green is saying the left mocked charlie kirks murder and has been trying to kill Trump, Steven Skalise. Say's these murderers are trying to kill us.. Her life has been threatened and Cavanahs attempted assassination.
As these fucking bastards only focus on murder so once NYC, Boston, Denver, SF Portland and Seattle is cleansed Green said its time to protect our constitution and divorce them once and for all.. Murering a man with a wife and 2 children is not acceptable with threats and murdering people.. It's coming to an end.
This video shows what I'm saying. Its time for then to get the fuck out of here. only registered users can see external links
besides, if we were to take over the country, we could reduce the need for them to illegally run to the US and help them fix their own shithole.and they have oil we can use. Take a million barrels of oil for every life their drugs have taken from the US
For several decades, especially during the mid-20th century, Venezuela was one of the wealthiest and most stable countries in Latin America. It was indeed a popular tourist destination and also attracted many immigrants, including Europeans and South Americans, looking for better opportunities.
Many Venezuelans enjoyed access to free education and healthcare, subsidized goods, and relatively good public services. The government invested in social programs during boom years. There was rapid growth in urban areas, especially Caracas, Maracaibo, and Valencia.
This was a socialist state, funded by public ownership of its national resources; oil. Oil exports brought immense revenues. During this time, Venezuela had one of the highest GDPs per capita in Latin America, rivaling parts of Europe.
The U.S. was supporting Venezuela’s ruling elites, to take control of its publicly owned oil and take it away from benefiting the people. The middle class saw their social benefits turn into private profits for the wealthy and cheap oil for the US. Neoliberal policies were pushed hard by the U.S. and IMF, despite evidence they were socially damaging.
A declining middle class results in angry citizens and crime. That destroys a country even more. People finally revolted and elected Hugo Chбvez. They wanted their good times back. It resulted in a class war between the people and the oil elites. In December 2002, they launched a massive strike, effectively shutting down oil production for two months. The strike was part of a broader opposition effort to force Chбvez out of power, shortly after the failed April 2002 coup attempt. The US was massively involved in this. Meanwhile, the declining middle class and weakening government control resulted in the boom of drugs cartels. In 2006, the Bush administration imposed an arms embargo, prohibiting U.S. companies from selling military equipment to Venezuela, saying Venezuela was not cooperating fully in the U.S. war on terror and drug enforcement. (Do you think that withholding crime fighting tools, from a country with rising crime, was a good idea?).
In 2017, Trump imposed broad financial sanctions, prohibiting U.S. institutions from buying new debt issued by Venezuela or PDVSA (state oil company) and use of U.S. financial markets to raise money. In 2019, Trump imposed crippling sanctions. As oil was 90–95% of Venezuela’s export income, it completely destroyed the country. All sanctions after were just kicking the already dead country. The only economy left was the illegal economy, which can flourish when the governmnent doesn't have the ability to fight it and the citizens can only make some money working for drugs cartels.
That's the US being responsible for Venezuela turning into a shit-hole.
The US destroyed a booming country, because you didn't like its socialism and because you wanted their oil for cheap. You helped their corrupt elites steal the natural resources from the Venezuelan people, destroying their quality of life and their future.
And how do you plan to solve the problem you created? By stealing their oil directly.
All these folks wanting everyone to trust a democrat with our money. well, read this. Hell they can't even manage THEIR OWN MONEY!
you think Trump has money issues? At least Trump knows how to make more money,biden has to go to Jim rockfords trailer park to vacation.
only registered users can see external links
Can you imagine being bidens age and owing on a house??? Your home is supposed to be paid for by that age. If you worked and made a honest living and lived with in your means it woulda been.
Considering biden is using trailer parks now for vacationing, Perhaps the star of sir Skittles storys ,The Saggy Granny, can host the former president for a few days, I am sure that would be a hoot to read about.
Having a flag on her bio was partisan??? what the hell?
No metal detectors,no security much at all,
only registered users can see external links
There are many people speaking publicly, every day, all over your country. If you want
to provide security to all of them, it will require a very substantial budget increase.
That's not your country's priority right now, Trump has just pushed through major cuts
to your government spending, to give tax-cuts to the wealthy.
Trump increased the budget of ICE from $8.7 billion to $28.7 billion. They are not security for speakers.
The deployment of over 4,900 military personnel to LA, including 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines, cost approximately $118 million, which doesn't provide security for speakers.
Deployments in DC have been estimated to cost nearly $1 million per day, which doesn't provide security for speakers.
The Trump administration's budget proposal includes a $545 million cut to the FBI's funding, which doesn't help if they need to catch a shooter. He also appointed very dumb podcast hosts to lead the FBI and fired many highly experienced agents, because they were black or didn't like him very much.
Trump proposed 29% funding reduction in ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives), which undermines efforts to prevent violent crime.
The Trump administration has cut $3.5 million from Community Policing Programs that foster collaboration between law enforcement and community leaders to address violent crime.
By the way, Utah is an open and concealed carry state. Utah does not require background checks for private firearm sales or transfers. Utah does not have a "cooling-off" period.
If you see that there is some political speaker in your town, but you don't have a gun,
you can buy it that day, carry it on your back to the target site legally, and no police has
a reason to ask what you're doing, up to the moment that you point the gun at your victim. It's a bit more difficult to do that in some other states. But, of course, it's not the guns.
The US just has more bad or crazy people and it's just a complete coincidence that
the US also allows (much easier) access to sniper rifles or heavy assault rifles and the ability to train with them to be proficient enough to shoot someone from 200 yards away.
This was a private shin dig, not the governments job to provide protection. the event planners should have had enough sense on their own to have security. and from what i understand, folks saw the shooter, was trying to tell the cops and nothing was done. very similar the Trump attempt.
But that text was more related to gaming culture. Gaming isn't political.
There also was an anti-gay text on one of the cases.
The story that it was "the left" is falling apart.
You should have known that, when you saw his shirt.
He was brought up in a gun loving religious family.
True, guns don't kill people by themselves, but your gun-culture makes people crazy, and crazy people do kill people. That was indeed very similar to the Trump attempt.
- Authoritarian leadership – a dictatorial leader who claims to embody the national will.
- Ultranationalism – placing the nation (or a specific ethnic/racial group) above all else.
- Militarism and violence – belief in violence, war, and discipline as national “rebirth”.
- Anti-liberalism and anti-democracy – rejection of liberal democracy, pluralism, and individual rights.
- Suppression of dissent – censorship, propaganda, and control of media.
- Corporatism/economic control – strong state direction of the economy while retaining private property, with close coordination between state, industry, and labor (as opposed to socialism or free-market liberalism).
- Mythic past & cult of tradition – glorification of a supposedly pure or heroic past.
- Mass mobilization – use of rallies, symbols, uniforms, and paramilitary groups to create unity and loyalty.
That fits Trump and MAGA 100%. If Charlie Kirk's killer was a fascist, than he was definitely not on the left, but on the extreme right. Charlie Kirk was obviously pretty far to the right, but your actual Nazis, like Nick Fuentes and all his groypers, didn't like Charlie Kirk at all. They just spew hate about him, while the left argues against him.
I have seen Charlie Kirk refuse to answer many questions, he ignores almost all questions. You are not smart enough to understand the difference between puking up talking points and actually answering questions. You are unable to answer questions yourself.
well, he lived with a trans, so much info coming out now.
What we do know is that he grew up in a conservative Mormon gun-loving family.
If he hated their ideology, why didn't he kill his parents?
Yes, I can come up with Post hoc rationalization nonsense too.
It's possible that a relationship with a trans person made him realize that their persecution is wrong, but that doesn't turn around someone's whole ideology.
There would be a whole lot of right-wing speakers who are persecuting trans people much more than Charlie Kirk. Matt Walsh comes to mind. What was however currently ongoing, was a fitty between Nick Fuentes' groypers and Charlie Kirk's followers. That's why Nick Fuentes is now the only one on the right who is crawling back his hateful remarks. He knows that he caused this death and he fears retaliation from Charlie Kirk's followers. See for yourself.
Nick Fuentes warned his “groyper army” he would disown anyone who took up arms in retaliation. Starting 5m05:

Now why would he say that?
Also, his grandmother, Debby Robinson, says that every single one in her family
is a Republican and Trump supporter. She is more offended by the her grandson being called a leftist, than that she's offended by his crime.
the left, resulting in all right-wingers with some platform on the internet calling for
direct violence and war against the left, before there was even a suspect.
Let's also marvel at the audacity of your FBI Director Kashyap Pramod Patel, who said on national television "This is what happens if you let good cops be cops!". The fucking FBI had nothing to do with his capture. They didn't catch him, the killer admitted to his crime to his father, and his father TURNED HIM IN. Then Patel had the people wait
in suspense for NINE HOURS, because he needed to give Trump his time on TV.
Utah Governor Spencer Cox was very open about his feelings: "For 33 hours, I was,
I was praying that, that, if this had to happen here, that it wouldn't be one of us,
that somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country.
Sadly, that that, prayer was not answered the way I had hoped for. Just because I thought it would make it easier on us, if we could just say, hey we don't do that here."
Clearly saying that he had prayed that it was someone from a blue state or a country with brown people. He doesn't want his prejudices to be exposed, after he called it
a political assassination and emphasized that Charlie Kirk was a Trump supporter.
No, he prayed that it was the people he hates, so he could propagate that hate
with a tiny sliver of justification.
Good of him to be so honest.
Besides that, it is mostly a difference in principles. I want people to be treated
like human beings, while you see everyone as inherently evil and in need
of constant oppression, to make them useful to society.
Don't you understand that most people don't want to be oppressed?
If you want people to turn violent, oppression is a good method to do so.
At this time, it's mostly right-wing lunatics who do the violence, but if you keep supporting oppression, there will come a time that liberals and lefties will start killing. Your side is already aching for civil war, so that will be the result. Millions will die.
The question is who will fight for oppression and who will fight for freedom.
No matter how it ends, history will always pick the side of freedom.
I work in a company that uses a lot of English documentation, so I write mostly in English. Also, since a few years, many expats entered the company, who don't speak Dutch. At work and on Teams, I talk English more often than Dutch.
My logical thinking skills are also related to my work, because I have followed courses for Process Excellence, different root cause analysis and problem solving methods.
I have been programming since I was 8, gained an interest in philosophy at 30, with a specialized interest in logical argumentation and the opposite: fallacies. I am an atheist, but not for lack of taking an interest in religion. I got there through logic. If there is a god, I'm not content in just believing the religion of the area that I was accidentally born in. That god might be more annoyed by believing the wrong religion, than not believing in any. Why would the creator of the universe create logic and then expect us to ignore it and believe primitive nonsense?
By the way, I wasn't referring to the grammar or even the syntax of a foreign individual, @ananas2xlekker in this instance, but more to the coherence of his speech, the eloquence and logical rigidity of his arguments and the large scale structure of his writings, something totally absent in the clan of Americans i was refereeing to above?
A clan to which you too belong, and are espousing its rotten ideals, including their love for ignorance, and perhaps you immediately saw yourself as being a prime member of the maga-clan and therefore got annoyed by my criticism?
The liberal mind is the reason there was a lady stabbed to death on a city train a week or so ago. Killer is supposedly mentally ill but if you watch the video of him stabbing the girl on rumble, he is very sane and very determined in what he did. also very racist, as he bragged about getting that white girl later. 14 arrest, 1 prison sentence under his belt, his own mother saying he needed to be put away because he was out of control ,and the liberal judge put him back on the street with a written promise to appear in court, which was the next day after he did the killing. conservative judges would have kept him locked up. Now the Kirk killer is a hero to the liberal as he censored speech and he will be defended as such.
They always know very well what they believe and why.
They always support The Constitution and democracy in general.
All the right-wingers that I meet say that they support The Constitution
and then show they don't know what it means and piss on it.
I heard about that stabbing on the train. That killer has a long history of trying to get mental healthcare, but getting rejected. His family tried to get him committed, but they weren't authorized to do so, according to the authorities. He has even been sent away, when he tried to have himself committed. It was just a matter of time, before he would snap. I don't support putting people who have mental issues away for life, but if they try to get themselves committed, who the fuck is stupid enough to send them away?
A black racist who hates white people, is NOT going to attack some random white girl
on the train. What fucking white privilege does she have? She was in her fastfood job clothes, just like every poor black dude. That kind of racist would attack some elitist looking white dude in a suit, or same racist Karen. You are sick in your head to think an otherwise 'sane' racist would attack some random poor white girl. There are 204.3 million white people in the US, and you think it's 'sane' to attack this one? That's not stupidity, that blind racism. And fuck you up front for saying that's "name calling".
All of the left was rejecting violence, while all of the right was promoting violence
and war on the left. You are just waiting for the right opportunity to finally stick something real on ONE lefty or liberal, so you have a justification to start your war against half of America, the half that actually has "American values".
You're unable to simply stick to the point of my message.
I never mentioned kirk or his killer, both disgusting human beings. You did.
You love death. Like these two people.
You are showing that you're just a right-wing loon,
incapable of saying anything even mildly noteworthy.
but you only care about a tiny few that you can say were killed by an illegal.
Illegals commit crime at a much lower rate than natural born citizens.
Charly Kirk referred to school shooting victims as "worth it".
looks like Trump is going after employers of illegals.perhaps not as ananas thinks it should be but still, causing alot of headaches. i am disappointed in hyundai having those illegals, georgia gave tax incentives since it was jobs for the people of their state best i can remember.
highly qualified engineers, who were approved on business licenses.
The company that I work for sends people to the US for projects too, sometimes
for a longer period. They use business licenses like that too. The argument that your Trump regime is making is that these highly qualified engineers were not doing 'business', but 'work'. What a dumb argument. The company is doing 'business' and everyone who works for them is doing 'work', even the fucking CEO.
South Korea is one of your best business partners.
Are you going to push them away too?
They are turning to China as we speak.
They would respect that. They won't respect sending in ICE to threaten their employees, by calling them 'illegals', while your regime is kidnapping people who are often illegitimately called 'illegals' to concentration camps. That makes your business associates nervous and rethinking their relationship with you.

and now he's attacking her victims and calling them liars.
When will you understand that he's one of their r@pists?
His charges 'were' not dropped, HE dropped them.
He has stopped all the investigations.
Now why would he have done that??
You would say that he had something to hide, if he was a Democrat.
Remember when you all pointed at Democrats? There could be some truth to that.
But you'll never know, because Epstein's best friend for a decade is president now.
You know, the same guy who was president when Epstein 'killed himself' in prison,
coincidentally while the guards were sleeping and the camera's were not working.
what they're doing.
There are many photographs of Trump with Epstein, Trump and Melania with Epstein and Ghislaine, Trump and Epstein with young girls, Epstein is on tape talking about their friendship, there's a long list of financial records of them doing business with each other, lots of unclear payments, lots of stories about them, postcards with ambiguous texts from Trump to Epstein, many witnesses implicating Trump, etc, etc.
So what have you seen about any Democrats?
There is talk about flight records, but when you investigate those, they do NOT go to Epstein's Island, you know, the Island that Trump said about “I never had the PRIVILEGE of going to his island...”
How did they suicide Epstein, under Trump's administration?
How did they make Kash Patel and Dan Bongino lie about it?
How did they edit out 1 minute of video from the prison security camera footage,
that shows prison guards near Epstein's cell?
How did they make Pam Bondi lie about the minute of missing video?
Unfortunately Democrats are useless and weak.
That's why we again see the rise of fascism threatening humanity.
Maybe it will destroy humanity once and for all now,
instead of it being remembered as a dark page in history.
why aren't you so adamant about bill clinton being held accountable? and all the other so called celeb's?
the libtards are only interested in using the evidence to get to Trump, can you not see that?
Unless you have any evidence, you're just showing your delusion.
I don't have to 'make belief', to argue my position.
Then you keep up an appearance that your not delusional?
In any case, if you're trying to convince me, you DO need evidence.
This is the list of former lawyers for Epstein, who now work for Trump:
- Darren Indyke
- David I. Schoen
- Ken Starr
- Alan Dershowitz
Is Trump just stupid to employ lawyers who all associate him with Epstein?
"well known for defending the guilty"
You are accusing him of paying VICTIMS to lie about Trump!!
Trump is defending the guilty, by making a deal with Ghislaine Maxwell and stopping all investigations into the wealthy r@pists who paid her to have sex with young girls, who she recruited from schoolyards.
Is Soros paying Trump, or Pam Bondi, or Kash Patel or Dan Bongino?
"paying off people to do his bidding"
Damn disrespectful towards those VICTIMS, to think they care more about money
from some asshole billionaire than JUSTICE!!
George Soros is an asshole billionaire, I agree, but it's impossible for him to fund everything that you see happening that you don't like. You think he's paying for all
the protesters, all the angry people in town halls, all the court-cases, manufacturing all the evidence for those court cases, all the YouTubers talking about it.
That's pretty damn successful for one of the poorest billionaires. Even more successful that he doesn't leave a trace of all those actions. Right-wingers leave a financial and paper trail for all their corruption. You can follow the money directly to all those right-wing billionaire assholes easily. There are lots and lots of them too. Every single one of them much more wealthy than Soros.
If what you are saying is true, than Soros is SMARTER than every single one of your billionaires. He leaves no traces, but he controls everything. I'm impressed.
However, he doesn't write books that all us lefties love and quote, and I've never seen him say anything interesting. He's completely useless to me. My party could use his money, but we've never seen a cent. He could pay our media to be nice to us, but as soon as we pose a threat to right-wing politics, they all turn against us.
Europe is quickly infected by racist right-wing populists, and Soros did NOTHING.
He's a bit too 'behind the curtains' for my liking. When is he doing SOMETHING?
I see no evidence of this Socialist Santa Claus that you believe in.
It's actually all our socialist daddies who fill our stockings at night, not one Santa.
It takes a child to believe in an actual Santa Claus, a child that gets lied to by its parents, and who have silly little stories to explain why you cannot see him doing
all that stuff, and to explain away all the evidence against him. 🎅
No matter what he does, they'll still believe in his cult.

Is your Italian family still celebrating the Italian kitchen?
Those are traditions that are worth keeping.
And have you ever been to Italy? I love it, even their driving.
Any education is only a basis and a preparation for the brain. It lays the foundation for learning and logic, but all the facts are fleeting. Even if you had the third grade of MIT, if you don't keep learning every day, the effect is gone in a decade. That also means that the lack of education can be compensated with self study. It just requires a curious mind and critical thinking. Critical thinking isn't just good for learning, it will literally make your life better, because it will improve every decision you will make in life. It's important for health decisions, money matters, relationships, career growth, everyday problem-solving, not falling in the traps of scammers, and not voting for politicians who will destroy your livelihood and freedoms.
The only thing I want from canada is for all the poor kids here in the states to actually be able to get their land that was taken from them by the tax authority at no fault of their own due to the Big inch Land company not letting the kids know where to send their property tax payments to
threatening his country.

I’ve been waiting for a computer board for over a week for my refrigerator, I’m living out of coolers because my fridge is not working. It’s costing me over six hundred dollars for the part alone, I would buy a new fridge as been suggested by friends but I paid 22 hundred for my fridge that I have, so not going to do that. Parts are so hard to find or get now a days.

Do you think it serves your causes, when AIPAC controls your politics?
Here are key social benefits Israelis enjoy that Americans generally don’t:
- Universal healthcare
- Mandatory paid maternity leave – 15 weeks paid
- Child allowances – Monthly government payments for each child
- Heavily subsidized childcare and preschool
- Much lower higher-education costs
- Strong public transportation discounts
- Universal old-age pension + mandatory employer pension
- Guaranteed national unemployment insurance
YOU ARE PAYING FOR THAT!
Then they help elect politicians who tell you that the US cannot afford that for Americans.
Show everyone that I'm lying. Go ahead!

Was it 'liberal ideology' that drove this person to their act?
The shooter left a manifesto revealing a deep fascination with past mass shooters and violent ideation, diaries and YouTube videos included drawings, journal entries, and imagery referencing mass murders, with hateful messages directed at Catholics, Jews, Trump, and multiple marginalized groups. Just because they also hated Trump, doesn't make them a liberal or lefty. Liberal and lefties don't hate Catholics, Jews and multiple marginalized groups. Investigators describe a chaotic, contradictory mix of hate, nihilism, and conspiracy-style thinking, which also included random slogans like “Mashallah” and references to Hitler. This suggests contradictory, shock-value extremism, not coherent ideology. Still, this kind of crazy happens much more in right-wing conservative circles, than on the left.
"The home environment was described as deeply Catholic, with elements of religious conservatism—neighbors recalled home-based prayer meetings, homeschooling on Saturdays, and strong anti-abortion activism by the mother."
Those parents are 100% Trump voters. They just melted their kid's brain.
Your side always immediately accuses the other side, and you never apologize.
as proof that he's still alive. Why would they do that, if he was actually doing well?
I don't think he's dead, but there is obviously something wrong with him, if he's not able
to just make a real photo of himself playing golf.

as good as this sounds, i would not have said something like this in public. i am not naive enough to think that there were no illegals coming into the US for 3 months. they just find another way in.
this statement will bite them in the ass.
