RFK Jr.is pushing medicine for Big Pharma.
and they do make me weak as water.
I want my doctor to discuss with me what's best for me, and base their advice
on medical science. I don't want politicians taking money from big pharma and then
push drugs on people for financial gain, even though I work for them.
trouble is, it is down about 140 over 83 or so on average when i check it, but i have to take coq10 to try to offset the fatigue or i wouldn't be able to get out of bed. I am hoping a appointment the end of this month will lead to more info as to the chest pain and shortness of breath that i have had to deal with since november of last year. that is the thing about the medical field that bugs me, oh if you have these symptoms, tell your dr, so i did. take this pill and come back in a month, ok, that's helping take this pill at night. and then came the antidepressant for the so called anxiety, which i tossed in the cabinet and refuse to take as I don't have it, i just have issues with sleep and chest pain and shortness of breath damn it. So after damn near a year, I finally will get to see a heart dr.

I don't know if you all will be able to read it or not but a woman is dieing or already dead because she wanted to prove that Trump was wrong. and the baby is at risk as well.
question is for you all, do you all hate Trump bad enough to risk killing yourselves to prove him wrong on something?
The main point of this story is: Trump is fucking stupid.
For everyone who believes there might be something to Trump's big news,
here's a video that might cure you from "being fucking stupid":
Tylenol is the Cause of Autism! (According to Trump and RFK Jr.)

Trump makes idiotic claims every day. I only spend time on what he's trying to achieve
with his idiotic claims. Creating distrust in modern medicine is harmful, but I'm not making my own medical decisions on what Trump says. People who are listening to him for medical decisions, are indeed risking their lives and the public at large.
I think she was just suffering pain, caused by your deteriorating healthcare system.
Or, she was just trying to kill herself, because he couldn't stand to live
in a country that is reliving 1920's Italy or Germany's 1930's.
I'm sure that many Jews committed suicide in those times.
Were they trying to 'prove' anything?
You just asked me for reputable sources. Did you find any for this?
I don't consider Facebook and X reputable sources.
You guys still show your hate for Hillary Clinton on a daily basis,
and she wasn't even president.
Trump is having a negative effect on EVERYONE in the world.
He's turning away from allies and turning to dictatorial regimes.
He's committing treason on a daily basis and turning the US fascist.
He is also trying to help fascists in other countries, even neo-nazis in Germany.
We have many good reasons to hate him.
People like Cat and me are not going to do something stupid for hating Trump,
we will be smart and strategic, and only sacrifice something if it is useful.

I hear Pete Hegseth is planning to fire many of the generals that are not fully on his side. Trump is of course afraid that they will act on their oath to defend The Constitution,
so he only wants generals who are loyal to HIM, NOT to The Constitution.
We all know that he wants to do this, the question is WHEN.
If that happens, that's a time that all liberals and lefties need to sacrifice something big.
Be ready to join the general strike if you are still working, to stop paying your bills and only spend money on food, when that happens. You need to completely shut down the country, when the fascist is going for your military. They are your LAST LINE OF DEFENSE.
Hitler did the same thing, and there was NO WAY BACK after it.
Cat, take out some cash, to be able to pay for food, for months (if need be).
I take to much tylonol but i woulda been a drug addict had i took what the dr's prescribed. that oxycodone, messed with my head to much.
I have found that 3 325 mg asprin do a good job and use that sometimes.
It has been used many billions of times by now, all over the world.
That means that the medical and science institutes know the risks of it very well.
It is not associated with more harmful side effects than naproxen (Aleve), ibuprofen
or "even" acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin). In fact, from that list, Aspirin is the most risky.
The safest for short-term use is ibuprofen (at the lowest effective dose) and Tylenol is the safest of the three, long-term. Only extremely high doses can damage the liver.
All three drugs can damage the stomach, which is why it's always best to combine them with drugs that protect the stomach lining, like Omeprazole (Prilosec or Losec).
What personal preferences people might have, is not necessarily based on evidence.
My mother has been a pharmacy assistant for decades.
Would you accept her as some 'authority' on painkillers?
We have created institutes to research and inform the public about the risks
vs the benefits of drugs, so we don't have to trust the opinions of random people.
The people who love us want the best for us, but that doesn't mean they are correct
on everything. Where did your father get that information? Did he take all those drugs until they did damage to him at different rates, did he trust someone else who told him, did he trust some conspiracy theories, or did he trust science from institutes?
If you just trust him, YOU don't even know the original source, while he did.
Trump and RFK Jr. are breaking down those institutes, because they want you to trust their personal opinions, which are based on conspiracy theories for political and religious agenda's, rather than science and the public benefit.
That is dangerous and it WILL cause the death of many MORE people.
I say 'MORE', because the ignorance they support and the distrust it creates
has already caused the deaths of millions of people.
All the problems of the world have been trumps fault for the last 80 years right
Many Americans are, because treating the cause of their pain is expensive.
That's not Trump's fault, but he is making it WORSE.
RFK Jr. and Trump are now saying Tylenol is causing autism.
Do you have anything to say about that?
I was prescribed oxy for my pain at first. then later when it wasn't helping without messing up my brain they tried the fentanyl patches. oh that stuff will hide the pain of decapitation i believe, it powerful, problem was ,again ,it messed with my head to much. I had no real choice but to go to the tylonol and bc powders because they didn't affect my brain. I could function. I still hurt but it shaves the top off the pain to speak.
the problem is anannas the dr's won't FIND and FIX the problem causing the pain. just mask it and charge for a visit.
that is not Trumps fault, or even obama's. that is the systems fault that you support ,cheap pharmaceuticals. pills for ills.
I am sure folks like leo that apparently don't have much of a life or responsibility, think it is perfectly fine to be doped up all day on the couch. But not folks like myself. The couch is for lazy or Very tired people.
I want to take out the financial incentive as much as possible.
The best way to do that, is to make it a public service.
I want independent scientists to develop the best prevention, cure or treatment for every illness, condition or injury. If there is a profit incentive for the pharmaceutical industry, they will prefer treatment over cures. They will also make everything more expensive than it has to be. If it's all funded by taxes, we the people have an incentive to demand the best healthcare, for the lowest price. It benefits everyone, when people are healthy and are able to work and maximize their potential.
It makes no sense to keep people relatively comfortable, but unable to perform,
with pain medication, if you can invest in their healt long-term, with an operation.
That only happens in a system that minimizes costs, FOR PROFIT, while overall
harming society.

a knife attack results in a cop shooting someone TRYING to save lives by holding back what i would consider a terrorist.
I hope the cop has to pay the family well for killing their loved 1. IF UK and other countries are so critical of our gun crimes, it is only fitting we expect to see them set a high example. Perhaps rake the cop over the coals and give him prison time? I mean really, uk thinks we are so bad, sheesh, hollar some of their own medicine back at them

This is how he argued; by breaking the ongoing argument, with false points.
He bombarded the opposition with too much falsities to ever debunk them all.
It's a good strategy to convince people who don't know anything, but it's not "debating".

The fellow complaining at the end about it "not being real" Well hells bells, it's all pretend and acting from Hollywood and commercials anyway! Nothing real about hollywood to begin with. They are just whining because they might have to go to work doing something else. The way I look at it, these same whiners are the same 1's that claim coal is dirty and the coal miners can just go find other work. Far as I am concerned, the actors can just go find other work.

Well, sir, let me tell you what an American is. He’s the type of person that says, “I may not agree with you, but, I will fight to keep your right to say so.”
During the Obama years and the Biden years, both of you BS’d enough to fill an encyclopedia and now? You don’t like us criticizing your cult leader. Suck it up. 👿
A good buddy of mine summed it up 1 time with his mother that was a diehard democrat.He had been 1 up until obama and he saw the light and decided he had enough when his diesel fuel got to be expensive.
His mother got on him so bad about voting for Trump in 2016 and he said "Mom, if the devil ran as a democrat and God ran as a Republican, you are so diehard democrat you would vote for the devil wouldn't you?
And that to me sums it up how folks like you think.
"Mom, if the devil ran as a democrat and God ran as a Republican, you are so diehard democrat you would vote for the devil wouldn't you?”
That’s rich. You voted president a convicted felon, a man that cheated on his wife with a porn star while his wife was pregnant with his youngest son. A man who raped, cheated, and fomented a coup attempt. And now you want to say we are cult like?
Go tell it to someone that cares. This joke of a “president” should be in jail and not in charge of the nuclear codes.
Honey, how deluded you are. I appreciate your worry about what you perceive as my “lonely” life. Phart, I have three children, two sons and a daughter. The youngest is 44. I have six grandchildren. I have many friends, several who have been my friends since grade school. Three of them are diaper buddies. I have friends in, at least, twelve states. Between my direct family and the extended families there’s over sixty people that we get together on holidays. Seldom does a weekend go by when don’t have someone stopping by. Even my ex, WOODY, visits regularly.
So, please don’t worry about my “solitude”. I get plenty of interaction with many people from both sides of the political spectrum. My youngest son and daughter-in-law voted for the Clown. My best friend, someone who is deeply religious, and someone I’ve known since I was three, is a diehard MAGA Trump follower and, you know what? We make our friendship work. Yes, I do have interaction with REALITY. That’s why my views are what they are.
President Obama's peace efforts focused on both diplomacy and military restraint, with a goal of reducing U.S. involvement in the region.
Key initiatives included:
2009 Cairo Speech: Obama's address to the Muslim world sought a "New Beginning" in U.S. relations and included strong calls for a two-state solution based on 1967 borders.
Direct peace talks (2010): The Obama administration initiated face-to-face negotiations between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. However, these talks ultimately failed.
Iran Nuclear Deal (2015): The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was a landmark multilateral agreement intended to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The deal was highly controversial and opposed by Israel.
Final months efforts: In his last weeks in office, the Obama administration chose not to veto a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements, a move that drew strong criticism from Israel.
Outcomes during Obama's presidency:
The Israeli-Palestinian peace process stalled, and Israeli settlement construction continued to expand throughout his two terms.
Escalating regional conflicts, such as the rise of ISIS and the Syrian Civil War, diverted attention from peace initiatives.
The administration's relationship with traditional Middle Eastern allies, including Saudi Arabia and Israel, was strained at times.
Biden's approach
The Biden administration entered office intending to re-engage with the region and repair relationships with the Palestinian leadership after a breakdown in relations under the previous administration.
Key initiatives included:
Restoring Palestinian aid: The administration renewed U.S. assistance to Palestinians and their institutions in East Jerusalem.
Pursuit of normalization: Biden built on the Abraham Accords brokered by the Trump administration, working to expand normalization between Israel and Arab states, including a high-profile effort to secure a deal with Saudi Arabia.
Response to the Israel-Hamas war (2023): Following the October 7 attack, Biden has been heavily involved in crisis diplomacy, sending senior officials to the region to secure a ceasefire and hostage release.
Post-war planning: The administration has promoted a vision for post-war Gaza that includes a pathway toward a two-state solution.
Recent ceasefire deal (2025): The Biden administration was a key negotiator in the 42-day Gaza war ceasefire deal reached in January 2025, which included a hostage release. The incoming Trump administration was also involved in the final stages of these talks.
25% chance that Netanyahu says that Palestinians don't want a deal, genocide continues.
60% chance of the genocide continuing, within 6 months, Netanyahu finds a reason.
10% chance of Palestinians living without freedom, like before Oct 7th 2023.
5% chance of an actual future for Palestinians.
It didn't begin on Oct 7th 2023, it has been going on since 1947.
The world shouldn't have given the victims of a genocide a state
that required a genocide of the people who already lived there.
That was a mistake. When you make a mistake, you correct it,
you don't continue making more, to continue on the wrong path.
We should make Israel a secular state, with Jews and Muslims living together.
The religions should be limited to their homes and houses of worship.
That's the only way towards peace for them and the rest of the world.
I think the best that can happen is if both sides lose external support

The lady is gorgeous and I'm not taking anything from her but, it rubs the wrong way when the MALE member that won used the above pic.
My take.
You didn’t do anything wrong. I was just saying that I was surprised that a pic of a beautiful WOMAN won you, a MALE, first prize in a contest. And when I went to check your page, I found out you were a SINGLE male. Now, the contest was for a front view on a beach. Why didn’t you enter one of your pics? And, for what it’s worth, I apologize if I offended you. That was not my intention.

I had to Google who Ben Meiselas is and for those who may be unfamiliar, he’s a lawyer and political commentator. Anyway,,,,, he actually made the assertion that President Trump didn’t know what to do when the escalator stopped. BS! The First Lady stepped on, President Trump right behind her. It looked as though the escalator maybe moved one or two steps and STOPPED. They appeared to wait possibly a couple seconds and then began to walk up. As for the teleprompter, that was no big drama perpetuated around that. And when he shared the story from years gone by, referring to himself as Donald J. Trump was in my opinion, a better choice than saying “I” and/or “me”.
As for the speech, he could recite the Gettysburg address and folks would find fault with it.
The second about his speech? What's wrong with you? His audience was a mix of international diplomats and world leaders. Trump doesn't count outside the US. His speech was a disaster and all you have to do is LISTEN to it. Sheesh
Unless addressing international diplomats and world leaders is different than other speech delivering gatherings, my guess is that key speakers are versed on the theme of the gathering. I did not feel that the speech was one of President Trump’s strongest or cohesive speeches.
By the way, it looks like you have an admirer and follower. Yes, I’ve noticed that hotdug will often give your posts a (+) . A member since August, 2014, he’s barely posted a half dozen times in the Forum!
oh greta, you are going to get blown up if you don't quit acting stupid.
There are so many things not adding up.
There is video of him limping, because the rifle is in his pants, they say, which means
it's assembled. Why else would it not be in his backpack?
There is a photo of him walking up the stairs, but the rifle is clearly not in his pants,
it's supposedly in his backpack, which means that it's disassembled.
He cannot shoot anyone with a disassembled rifle, which means he assembled it.
There is video of him after the shooting, jumping off the building, but he doesn't have a rifle in his hands. He drops something off the building, but that's too small to be a rifle. It could be his backpack, which means he disassembled the rifle again.
The FBI says that they found the rifle assembled, so he must have assembled it again.
His rifle was reportedly a decades-old German Mauser 98 rifle.
Here's a guy disassembling a German Mauser 98:
only registered users can see external links
Does that look like easy disassembly and assembly?
And look how big that wooden stock is. Does that fit in his backpack?
Reportedly, he changed clothes several times that day. There are photos of him in that eagle/flag shirt. However, the officials say he showed up in a maroon shirt at the event. Then he puts on the black shirt and walks up the stairs, the he puts the maroon shirt back on for the shooting, but he changes back to the black shirt and leaves (while also having disassembled the rifle).
Have you read all the text that he supposedly exchanged with his trans girlfriend / roommate Lance Twiggs? See the text below.
He is point by point verifying every supposed action he is supposed to have taken.
Does this look like a 22 year old texting?
He's hiding somewhere, but he's typing "for a little while longer yet."
"I gotta grab my rifle still"
He is on the run, but he knows that "they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing" HOW?
He is calling his car "vehicle", his father "my old man".
Says: "I will have left no evidence" Except text messages admitting to EVERYTHING.
This whole text writes like you have asked ChatGPT, to write a script about exactly everything that was supposedly happening.
This doesn't read like anything a 22 y.o. would write on his phone, at all.
If this doesn't count as "QUESTIONABLE STUFF", I do not know what would.

Robinson: Drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.
Twiggs: What?????????????? You're joking, right????
Robinson: I am still ok my love, but am stuck in Orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn't be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.
Twiggs: You weren't the one who did it, right????
Robinson: I am, I'm sorry.
Twiggs: I thought they caught the person?
Robinson: No, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. It's quiet, almost enough to get out, but there's one vehicle lingering.
Twiggs: Why?
Robinson: Why did I do it?
Twiggs: Yeah.
Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out. If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven't seen anything about them finding it.
Twiggs: How long have you been planning this?
Robinson: A bit over a week I believe. I can get close to it but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don't wanna chance it.
Robinson: I'm wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle. I'm worried what my old man would do if I didn't bring back grandpa's rifle. ... idek if it had a serial number, but it wouldn't trace to me. I worry about prints. I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. Didn't have the ability or time to bring it with.
Robinson: I might have to abandon it and hope they don't find prints. How the fuck will I explain losing it to my old man... Only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel.
Robinson: Remember how I was engraving bullets? The fuckin messages are mostly a big meme. If I see "notices bulge uwu" on Fox News I might have a stroke.
Robinson: Alright I'm gonna have to leave it. That really fucking sucks.
Robinson: Judging from today I'd say grandpa's gun does just fine idk. I think that was a $2k scope ;-;
Robinson: Delete this exchange.
Robinson: My dad wants photos of the rifle... he says grandpa wants to know who has what, the feds released a photo of the rifle, and it is very unique. He's calling me rn, not answering.
Robinson: Since Trump got into office, [my dad] has been pretty diehard MAGA.
Robinson: I'm gonna turn myself in willingly. One of my neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff.
Robinson: You are all I worry about love.
Twiggs: I'm much more worried about you.
Robinson: Don't talk to the media please. Don't take any interviews or make any comments. If any police ask you questions ask for a lawyer and stay silent.
Didn't you forget data about the alien in Roswell?
They are now doing ACTUAL conspiracies. Why would you trust them to release some?
Even if they presented something on the Kennedy assassination, I wouldn't believe a word they are telling me, because you put in people who couldn't stop lying to save their mothers.
The covid vaccine paperwork is all fully transparent. What reason do you still have
to doubt anything? Did all the vaccinated people die?
Where is that Lance Twiggs person confirming anything?
It's said that they called the police, but is now not cooperating. Why?
I call them 'they', but it's even in question that Lance Twiggs is trans. 'They' might be gay or 'queer', but I see no evidence of 'them' being trans. Trump just accused the trans community, before there was even a suspect. The suspect itself wasn't trans, but now
he has some LGBTQIA+ lover, so the trans narrative stuck. It's still based on a lie.
Where are his parents? I know his mom said he was shifting to the left, and becoming more accepting of LGBTQIA+ people. He's probably GAY, that would make him more accepting of LGBTQIA+ people, but that doesn't say much about his politics.
I don't have much of a theory yet, I just don't believe any/everything they are saying.
Your country is controlled by absolute liars now. They are incapable of telling the truth. When they start lying 5 minutes after a thing happens, and they obviously CANNOT
have any REAL information yet, they need to keep lying to keep up appearances.
There are several terms for it:
- Liar’s Trap
- Web of Lies
- Perjury Spiral (in legal or formal contexts)
- Cognitive Dissonance
- House of Cards
- Escalation of Commitment
It would all be very interesting, if it wasn't the most powerful government in the world.

What are other member’s thoughts on this matter?
It is my opinion this guys insurance company ought to send him a check for a 100 bucks just for being proactive in preventing a costly claim. This is so simple to do, if you know a vehicle or object is in danger of damage during a storm,take action, save yourself alot of headache later dealing with insurance.

People given everything they need and more from the tax payers pockets and do nothing, have no reason to change their ways. no motivation, no desire to do better. Because they don't give a damn.
Toxic masculinity, i hear that word alot lately. The new liberal idea is to make being a actual MAN and standing up for yourself and your family and what you believe into being toxic and terrible and shouldn't be allowed. you are supposed to be a humanoid being with a penis that cry's when your latte is not warm enough and you are supposed to drive a pink prius and never be proud of yourself, your accomplishments ,never have any goals or desire to achieve. Liberals just want you to be a useless bag of water with a phallus. that's the liberal definition of a man nowadays.
You're sounding like your country is some sort of socialist Utopia, where people don't need to work to stay alive. Who in his right mind can still think that? When you need to feed kids in school, because they are hungry, that's not 'socialism', that's a sign that your people are HURTING. Their parents are working their asses off, but their employers don't pay them enough, their landlords are taking all their money, so they don't have any left for food, to feed their children. That shouldn't be fixed with taxes, that should be fixed by reducing the EXPLOITATION SYSTEM.
How do people need to do better? Work harder for their employer? They will love it, but won't pay a cent more. How about education? Trump is destroying schools as we speak. No one can afford to go to school anymore.
Standing up for yourself and your family is NOT "Toxic masculinity", that's a stupid
straw-man. Treating women like slaves and whores is "toxic masculinity". That is what your manosphere influencers are supporting. What they are also supporting is millions for them and obedient servitude for all their followers. They are telling them the same fantasy that you believe, but that's not how they get rich. They got rich by selling a lie, like every other scammer who profits from people's misery. It's millionaires lying for billionaires.
Not everyone can get rich from spouting propaganda on the internet. Some people
need to do actual work.
Do you remember who those "essential workers" were, during Covid?
Those jobs still don't pay shit. We cannot all be managers, business people,
stock traders and infuencers. We DON'T all need to "improve" ourselves,
every job is important to keep the economy growing and progressing.
And everyone who contributes to that should be able to make a good living
for their family. That's not a privilege, that's what we ALL deserve.
The people who are privileged are the people who are born with a silver spoon
in their mouth, thinking they deserve to have more than everyone else, by birth-right.
Why do stupid people always flip that around?
Why isn't it obvious to you what they are doing?
YOU ARE INDOCTRINATED BY THE WEALTHY WHO OWN YOU!
never having done anything positive for anyone else,
but only served your own wealth and power,
and then getting elected for POTUS,
because people like your hate and bullshit.
Since you are so keen into United States politics, please share which one of our CAREER POLITICIANS you feel has deserved to become President.
Perhaps this is like comparing apples to oranges but if possible, would you care to share what your royal family has done for your country?
Why do you think that a billionaire nepo-baby would make a better president
than a career politician? Do either care about YOU?
It's your stupid corrupt system that churns out 'career politicians'.
I want real REPRESENTATIVES, from working class families,
who gained knowledge and experience and then go into politics
to improve the system for YOU, because they still understand people like YOU.
People like Trump only understand how to USE people like YOU.
What does Trump say about someone from a poor family who goes into politics?
When they support the working class, he treats them like GARBAGE.
That should be enough for you to understand the problem.
My royal family doesn't have ANY power. They are just well-payed mascots
and diplomats. They serve the same purpose as the national soccer team.
But i am waiting to hear which of our folks you think should be or deserves to be president. I bet it will be some left wing nut job.
I don't ignore your words, i just don't agree with them most of the time. You do take time to explain why you feel the way you do and some of it makes sense, that is why i try to refrain from calling you vile names and such.. and trust me, this is not the only place i argue and you have really sharpened my pencil. I even got banned from 1 local web site because i was just to uh, honest in how i felt about things. but i had alot of folks agreeing with me.
Not even ALL of them? Damn, that's Freudian slip, if I ever heard one.
No, Trump is more damaging than all welfare recipients put together.
He is currently putting your country into STAGFLATION. He is destroying the relationship with every other country, without even succeeding in befriending the horrible dictators that he likes so much. Your country has been failing for a while,
but he is accelerating it. This will be you, once you finally realize it:
Tweeting and destroying is 'doing things', but even you cannot call it 'working'.
Bernie Sanders should have been president. He has worked his ass off for working class people for DECADES. He is not a hateful, selfish buffoon like Trump. He has worked with everyone on both sides, if they were honestly willing to improve anything for normal Americans. You can only think of the left as 'nut jobs', because that's the right-wing indoctrination inoculation against the truth. Try to show them wrong.
You didn't react to ANYTHING in that post. Don't you even notice?
Why do you think that a billionaire nepo-baby makes a better president
than a career politician? If a politician has a long career doesn't that mean
that their constituents keep voting for them? Is that bad, by definition?
At least they understand how to write laws and they have seen how it worked out.
Why would that be a negative thing? Would you say the same about a carpenter
or a truck driver? Why is it good to pick amateurs to organize the country?
You are only saying that, because your subconsciously noticing the horrible corruption in your country, and you're associating it with all politicians. The longer they stay, the worse they must be. There is NO REASON to it. A newcomer could easily be much worse. They could have lots of selfish reasons to go into politics. They often have a big company that is having problems with regulation or competition. When they have destroyed the regulation or the competition, they bugger off again, or go look for other deals to personally profit from. That's not what politicians should do. They shouldn't
be working to shape the country towards their own benefit, they should be working
FOR THE PEOPLE. They should solve YOUR problems, not their own problems.
You do ignore anything that you cannot argue against. When I can show you evidence, to justify my point, you just ignore that I'm right and move on to the next point. Then a few days later, you come back to the point I showed you are wrong on before. If you can show mt facts to be incorrect, or my argumentation to be fallacious, I will correct myself. It's just really rare that you are correct on a fact or on the logic leading to a conclusion.
If there are lots of people agreeing with you, that just means that it's an echo chamber, it doesn't mean that you are correct.
Kamalla harris would have been terriable for America. Being white single and male is already sin enough as it is in 2025, she would have made it worse.
As for breaking relations with most of our "friends" I will say this, i think most of our so called friends are fair weather friends or just bumming off of us.
Trump destroyed DEI, fired many black people with lots of experience
and replace them with stupid, drunk, racist white BOYS. That's DEI.
Yes, you think that, because Trump TOLD YOU. You don't have good reasons.
Meanwhile, your country has the highest GDP in the world and controls all new media, so it couldn't be all that bad. The fact that the American people are not feeling the wealth, is your own choice, you're all serving the wealthy.
That you have 200 military bases in the world, was to serve your own interests,
like stealing all the resources from poor people, that wasn't because other countries asked you to do that. The whole world is/was using the dollar, which made your country too big to fail. That also mostly serves your wealthy people, but all of that is your own fault. And you're now not correcting your fault, you're doubling and tripling down on it. Everything that Trump is doing or trying is worsening the problem.
Dei was designed to get a certain number of colors and races in spots in all positions. the problem was, some were not qualified for the jobs.but were there because they met other criteria .
All the problems you have with them are caused by your actions.
They are still suffering from inequality, because you didn't accept them as equal.
DEI was giving people more opportunities to show themselves qualified,
but people like you cannot handle it, when a black person gets the job
that you think you are entitled to. A small person then thinks that the other person wasn't even qualified. Just little white snowflakes.
About 90% of Trump's administration consists of dumb-ass amateurs.
No black person in any of those positions ever fucked-up like them.
Your MAGA culture just worships stupidity, there is no other explanation.
Qualifications are what matter to me. I had a white helper on the job that somehow graduated high school and couldn't read. I complained until I was blue in the face with no results because he was related to 1 of the boss's. Well, when i came back from a vacation trip, the helper was GONE. I was like ,Ah, nice, what finally happened. They found out he did not meet the qualifications of the job, 1 of which was reading and writing. nothing to do with color, it is about can they do the job well.
The other thing you are describing is nepotism. That's completely separate from what you are describing as some black preference. Management doesn't have an incentive to appoint people who are unqualified, unless it benefits their own family. One exception; when the person who seems unqualified is also much cheaper, that is also an incentive for management. They are not always picking quality over cost. If you need to promote someone with an already high paycheck, that is expensive. If they can get away with a kid with no experience, but who will work their ass off, that is cheap and maybe it will work out.
You are forgetting that. Do I have to explain that your principles might clash
with an employer's principles?
CAT might be better than Trump and Biden, but most people don't know her.
How about someone who everyone knows and respects?
MAGA is literally supporting to have some 'benevolent dictator' who is voted in and then never have elections again. If you don't trust presidents now, would you trust one that you can never vote out?
The idea of your Constitution was that the president is just some moderator,
to control the debate between the parties and to sign the end result, when the process was performed well. The term 'president' has Latin roots, prae- (meaning before) + sedere (meaning to sit), so "president" originally meant "the one who presides over a meeting or assembly.". It was not originally a title of great power, but rather someone who oversaw or chaired a gathering. However,your presidents have been attracting lots of power, mostly because Congress was to ineffective to make choices. Your Republicans have now completely turned it to a fucking mess, allowing Trump to do almost everything with emergency decrees and executive actions. The Supreme Court is setting some limits, but mostly they'll allow it, because they are by majority partisan conservatives, who don't care that The Founding Fathers
are rolling around in their graves at 10,000 rpm.
How about going back to a president who is just a chair person, with
elected representatives in Congress making laws and voting for them, and
a Supreme Court that is just checking whether the law is being followed?
It wasn't until Buckley v. Valeo (1976), that the Supreme Court ruled that limits on how much a candidate can spend of their own money on political donations (to prevent corruption) are unconstitutional, since spending is a form of free speech.
Presidents were already taking more power before 1925.
Below is a whole list. Why pick 1925?
Do you think everything was better in 1925?
How about the stupidity that caused the Great Depression?
Do you prefer to eliminate the corruption that suits your views?
Don't you like it that billionaires control your politics?
It has served your political agenda.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Andrew Jackson (actually before Lincoln, but foundational, 1829–1837)
Aggressively used the veto not just on constitutional grounds but as a policy tool.
Positioned himself as the direct representative of the people against Congress.
Set an early precedent for a more assertive presidency.
2. Abraham Lincoln (1861–1865)
Civil War emergency powers: suspension of habeas corpus, unilateral military spending, Emancipation Proclamation.
Established that presidents could stretch constitutional authority in crises.
3. Theodore Roosevelt (1901–1909)
“Stewardship theory”: the president could do anything not explicitly forbidden by the Constitution.
Used executive orders aggressively to regulate corporations and protect natural resources.
Expanded U.S. global role (e.g., Panama Canal, “big stick” diplomacy) with little congressional input.
4. Woodrow Wilson (1913–1921)
Transformed the president into the legislative agenda-setter, giving the State of the Union as a personal speech.
During WWI, centralized wartime authority (propaganda, industry control).
Pushed the idea of the U.S. president as a world leader (League of Nations).
5. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933–1945)
The biggest expansion of presidential power in U.S. history.
New Deal: unprecedented use of executive agencies to regulate the economy.
WWII: near-total centralization of foreign and military policy in the White House.
Broke the 2-term precedent (served 4 terms).
After him, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment (1951) to limit presidential terms.
6. Cold War Presidents (Truman → Reagan, 1945–1989)
Truman: asserted the power to commit U.S. troops abroad without a declaration of war (Korea).
National Security Act of 1947: created the CIA, NSC, DoD — permanent national security state under presidential control.
Nixon: pushed executive privilege and secrecy to extremes (though Watergate led Congress to claw back some power in the 1970s).
Reagan: expanded use of executive agreements and covert operations (Iran-Contra).
7. Post–Cold War to War on Terror (1990s–2000s)
Clinton: normalized executive policymaking through regulation when Congress was gridlocked.
George W. Bush: after 9/11, claimed sweeping “unitary executive” powers — indefinite detentions, surveillance, military action (Iraq & Afghanistan) with minimal congressional declarations.
Obama: expanded drone strike authority, unilateral action on immigration (DACA), and continued broad surveillance.
8. Recent Presidents (Trump & Biden)
Trump: declared a national emergency to redirect funds to build the border wall; pushed boundaries of executive orders; challenged congressional oversight.
Biden: heavy reliance on executive action for climate, student loans, and foreign affairs when Congress is gridlocked.
Trump is doing now almost everything with emergency powers and executive actions. Even his own Supreme Court justices are now getting to the end of their patience. He is also abusing his presidential immunity. Ordering to blow up a boat with 11 civilians, in international waters, is murder, even if they are smuggling drugs. The president doesn't have the power to order this. Both Congress and the Supreme Court should act now, because Trump is just testing the waters and moving the goalposts, to do the same to American citizens that he considers to be criminals.
Will you just take his word for it then? What am I asking...
[Our right-wing parties just let the owners of the greenhouses exploit cheap workers from Eastern Europe, but our left-wing parties are putting limits on that, making them pay decent wages, making them provide decent housing. My Socialist Party is now the only party actually proposing limits on work migration. The right-wing parties are shouting loud about migration, but they are only talking about refugees, a tiny minority of the immigrants who come asking for asylum. The PVV (our anti-immigration party) had at least some ideas for reducing labor migration too, but they formed a government with the VVD (right-wing corporate party) who wanted to keep the tax-benefits for expats and the BBB (right-wing farmer and agro-food industry lobby) who loves cheap workers for the business, so nothing happened to restrict work migration. And they are also stupid, so the proposals they did put into action don't actually help reducing any immigration issues. It's just hate on paper, but in practice they made the procedures harder and they were cutting funds of the immigration agency. The result is not saving money but creating a backlog in the process and deportations (to their own safe country, not a concentration camp in a dictatorship)]
Higher education and decent wages for all workers is a driving force behind automation of the grunt work. It benefits the economy as a whole, because it shifts it from a low-wage, labor-intensive economy, to a high-wage, high-tech economy. That serves it's people, because those jobs are not wearing out their body and they can afford a nicer life for their family, but it also serves the country, because those jobs can handle international competition. You don't need tariffs, if companies cannot outsource jobs to poor countries, because they don't have the technology and educated workforce for those jobs.
Your country did not invest in education and did not create the driver for innovation by raising the minimum wage, so you are now stuck with uneducated people doing jobs that can be easily outsourced or replaced by AI. Those uneducated people cannot invest in their own education, because they have to work harder and harder to make just enough money to survive. That's your ideas squeezing the life out of your own workforce and the innovation strength of your country.
Then you voted in a buffoon, who only makes it worse.
When they support the working class, he treats them like GARBAGE.
That should be enough for you to understand the problem.”
Again, I acknowledge that your are far more intelligent than I and I also concede, far more versed on politics relating to my country than I am. Specifically, who has Donald Trump as the President of the United States OR Donald Trump, as a “billionaire nepotism-baby” said about a poor person that has entered the political ring?
of the Netherlands. There was a fun LEGO® Art Exhibit too.
You're kidding right? He thinks poor people are waste.
You yourself think poor people are waste.
You think they are lazy moochers and a waste of money.
It's burned into your brain so deep, that you don't even notice.
And Trump is affirming that every time he speaks, without you even noticing.
"People given everything they need and more from the tax payers pockets and do nothing, have no reason to change their ways. no motivation, no desire to do better. Because they don't give a damn."
You think "burger flippers" should not be paid a living wage.
You think they are too lazy to better themselves. How should they do that?
Where should they get the money for school or investments,
while they work 60 hrs per week to afford a shitty apartment?
At best they get some on the job course for team-leader.
How many people are working some shit job, just to pay the bills?
Tell me, what do they need to do, "to do better"?
What if they have an IQ of 80? Never a living wage for that guy?
Your right-wing media is pissing on the poor on a daily basis too.
That's where you get your hate of poor people from, it's by example.
They are all millionaires and they think poor people are waste.
They are now even suggesting to just kill homeless people. Did you hear?
Do you remember saying that you don't have any money to spend on poor people
in other countries, as long as there are still homeless people in the US?
You're not the only one to say it either.
So, are you spending any money on helping the homeless now?
or the ones who are not interested to hear anything they don't agree with.
You are actually making me put my money where my mouth is. I love it!
Trump: “My entire life, I’ve watched politicians bragging about how poor they are, how they came from nothing, how poor their parents and grandparents were. And I said to myself, if they can stay so poor for so many generations, maybe this isn’t the kind of person we want to be electing to higher office. How smart can they be? They’re morons.”
Trump: “I love all people, rich or poor, but in those particular positions, I just don’t want a poor person.”
[What is he saying? If you come from poor parents, you must be stupid, because
your parents are stupid for being poor, so you have 'stupid genes'. He is clearly arguing against your 'American dream'. I am doing that too, but in a different way.
I am saying the odds are stacked against a poor person making it big.]
Question: How smart do you need to be, to keep a fortune paying out for you indefinitely? How much work does it take?
My answer: You just pick the best people to handle it for you.
Of course you don't trust just one. Is that very difficult? A lot of work?
(One 'stable genius' hired Michael Cohen, to break the law for him.)
Don't you remember him scolding AOC like a million times for having been poor?
“The Green New Deal … done by a young bartender, 29 years old.”
“Instead of her constant complaining, Alexandria should go back home to Queens … and straighten out her filthy, disgusting, crime ridden streets, in the District she ‘represents,’ and which she never goes to anymore.”
[What is he saying? Go feed some soup to the homeless, instead of involving yourself in the big decisions that touch the lives of all Americans, of which half are at least struggling to make ends meet. You need to be rich to decide anything for them.]
“How dare ‘The Mouse’ tell us how to run the United States of America!”
It's not just him, your whole party shits on the poor. It's Republican culture.
I'm amazed how many poor people vote for a party that hates them
and doesn't want any of them even near positions of influence.
Did you never notice any of your politicians making a point out of AOC having worked in a restaurant? How about making a fuzz about her now spending good money on a hair-dresser or a dress? Or did you think: "Yeah, what was this poor Mexican girl thinking, when she got into politics. It's a job for rich white men, to decide where
our government spends all our money."?
Trump, other politicians and your media are directly arguing that she doesn't have a right to complain that poor people have it tough, because she was poor and got out. Do you agree with that idea? Who would be a better representative of poor people,
a previously poor person who has some money now or a born-rich person? (bella!)
Have you ever heard anyone on your side making a fuzz about some rich bitch spending money on her hair or clothes? It's acceptable for all your politicians who grew up in a wealthy family, isn't it? When do you hear the same about a politician who was born rich or had 3 businesses and millions in stocks, before they became
a politician?

Aside from the above two things mentioned in the video, regardless of whether you agreed with Charlie Kirk OR WHOEVER for that matter, it is my opinion that he was a peaceful man that was killed for his beliefs. Why do people feel the need to be “dancing in the streets”? WHAT IS WRONG WITH HUMANITY?

You think that a company that can advertise about doing exactly that,
would be allowed to never even pay a cent?
There are government agencies that investigate claims like that.
Well, maybe the agency that did that is destroyed by Trump now, so yes,

What the evidence shows:
Contemporary accounts: People close to him (like his secretaries and chefs) said that for much of his later life, especially during and after the late 1930s, he mostly avoided meat. His personal chef, Dione Lucas, mentioned he had a strong aversion to meat dishes and preferred things like mashed potatoes, vegetables, and soups.
Health reasons: Some historians think his diet was influenced more by chronic digestive issues and health concerns than by ethics. He had stomach problems and relied on a personal physician who put him on restrictive diets.
Inconsistencies: Earlier in his life, Hitler did eat meat (including sausages and liver dumplings, which he reportedly liked). There are also accounts suggesting he occasionally broke his vegetarian habits, eating meat broth or even ham.
Propaganda factor: The Nazis liked to portray Hitler as a disciplined, pure-living figure, which included highlighting his supposed vegetarianism, teetotalism, and non-smoking. This was part of building his cult of personality.
Bottom line:
Hitler was not a lifelong vegetarian. From the late 1930s onward, he seems to have mostly avoided meat, but it wasn’t consistent, and it was likely for health and image reasons rather than ethical ones.
Animal welfare under the Nazis:
1933 Animal Protection Law (Tierschutzgesetz): Shortly after the Nazis came to power, they passed one of the most progressive animal welfare laws of the time. It restricted vivisection (animal experiments), regulated hunting, banned boiling lobsters alive, and sought to limit animal suffering in slaughter.
Rhetoric: Hitler and other Nazi leaders sometimes spoke about compassion for animals. Hitler himself reportedly said he opposed hunting and vivisection. Hermann Gцring even threatened to send people who violated vivisection rules to concentration camps (though this was more about projecting Nazi “morality” than consistent enforcement).
Reality check: In practice, the laws were inconsistently enforced. They served propaganda purposes — showing Germany as “humane” — while the same regime inflicted horrific cruelty and violence on humans.
Like the guy starts to say when the vid cuts off, even a broken clock is right 2 times a day.
Hitler brought about several things that are common place today.
Al copones Cadillac later became the first presidential limo because it was bullet proof and was handy for the president to make the speech declaring war on japan for pearl harbor.
Can you give me an example of what Trump has delivered, that will be common place
in 80 years?
Listen; fascism HAS the ability to unite a country, it's after-all based on nationalism.
That will result in some creations that stand the test of time. That doesn't make the fascism OK, because it's based on DIVISION. How about UNIFICATION to actually make the world better? Hurting scapegoats does NOT solve problems.
Or do you think that the Jews were the problem and Germany improved itself
from blaming and then exterminating the Jews?
Solving the actual problems solves problems, without the VICTIMS.
Is this some 'far left lunacy' or can you at least see that?

can a gun in a drawer shoot on it's own?
No, a gun in a drawer cannot shoot on its own. Firearms require an external force to operate, typically a human pulling the trigger, which initiates the firing mechanism. For a gun to discharge, several conditions must be met:
Loaded Chamber: The gun must have a round in the chamber.
Trigger Activation: The trigger must be pulled with sufficient force to engage the firing mechanism (e.g., releasing the hammer or striker to strike the primer of the cartridge).
Mechanical Failure or External Force: In extremely rare cases, a malfunction (e.g., a faulty sear or drop safety failure) combined with a significant external force—like a strong impact—could theoretically cause a discharge. However, modern firearms are designed with safety mechanisms (e.g., drop safeties, trigger safeties) to prevent accidental firing even if dropped or jarred.
A gun simply sitting in a drawer lacks the energy or mechanism to spontaneously fire. Environmental factors like heat, vibration, or magnets cannot activate a trigger or ignite ammunition under normal conditions. Ammunition requires a precise strike to the primer, which only the gun’s firing mechanism can deliver.
If a gun is stored unloaded (no round in the chamber) and with proper safety measures (e.g., trigger lock or safe storage), the risk of accidental discharge is effectively zero. Even in cases of mechanical defects, spontaneous firing without human intervention or extreme external force is virtually impossible.
"Hey Grok, Can a depressed man, who doesn't own a gun and doesn't have one near him, shoot his brains out on a whim?"
"No, a depressed man who doesn’t own a gun and doesn’t have one near him cannot shoot himself on a whim. Without access to a firearm, it’s physically impossible to carry out such an act impulsively. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts, reaching out to a trusted person or a professional resource like a crisis hotline (e.g., 988 in the U.S.) can provide immediate support."
"Thanks Grok! How about pills? This guy on the internet took my will to live, with his
brain-dead nonsense..."
"I’m really sorry to hear you’re feeling this way—internet nonsense can be exhausting, can’t it? To answer your question, a depressed person without access to pills (like prescription or over-the-counter drugs in sufficient quantity) couldn’t impulsively overdose, just as they couldn’t use a gun without one nearby. It requires having the means readily available, and even then, it’s not a simple or inevitable act.
More importantly, it sounds like you’re hurting, and I want to help. If someone online is dragging you down, it might help to step away from the screen for a bit or talk it out with someone you trust. Those brain-dead comments don’t define your worth. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, a hotline like 988 (in the U.S.) or a similar service in your area can offer a listening ear, no judgment. Want to share more about what’s got you feeling this way?
I’m here to listen."
you would have to nail his door shut
That would be the last thing that I would do. However, I can't imagine any of it.
It also leaves some time to come to your senses. Picking up a gun and blowing your brains out can be done in seconds, AKA 'on a whim'. Finding a good spot to run under
a truck or train takes longer, maybe hours. The walk alone good help settle emotions.
That suicide can also hurt other people. Many people still care about that, when they
are killing themselves. It's something that survivors of suicides say they struggled with. Obviously, we can't ask the ones who were successful.
There are many ways to kill yourself and many ways to kill someone else, but none are so convenient and effective as using a gun.
I was surprised that only 55% of suicides in the US involved guns though.
Personally, I would prefer it over the other popular methods.
Suffocation / Hanging: ~27%
Poisoning (including drugs/overdose, chemicals, gases): ~11%
Other methods (jumping, cutting, etc.): ~7%
Damn, we're going down a very dark hole now. See what you did.
slitting the wrist is the next up thing women do, if they cut it in line with the blood vessel,it is more difficult to stop the bleeding, she tried that a year before the last attempt,2 inch cut along the main vessel, just a few more minutes and she woulda bled dry.
and here is the part you won't believe, she had access to guns of all sorts, and chose a knife and pills instead.
when she slit her wrist, she did it alone,and had cussed me out and told me to go away and stay gone. the neighbor came over to borrow a movie to watch and saw her in a pool of blood. i think she was done with life. she is now in the care of the state and is usually tied to the bed because she is so violent if they try to get her off meds
Damn, she would have been better off dead. Are you calling this the
"CARE of the state"?
Is this how you want a modern society to handle mental patients?
You are talking about mental hospitals a lot.
And now you are telling me this story?!?!
I have no words.
an admission of a failed system, from a country that doesn't want to invest
in humane mental healthcare.
About a decades ago we had stories in the media of a mental patient who was treated this way. It became a massive scandal, national outrage, investigations by the IGJ, a parliamentary debate, and ultimately reforms to help curb such coercive practices.

We don't except society treating anyone like this. It should only be used very short-term for very extreme cases. A wealthy country should be able to prevent these cases. That's what we expect from humanity. Phart expects the opposite. He wants people treated like that, if they only pose some danger to him.
I think that's a clear case of a difference in morality.
I realize Ananas is thinking of a screaming helpless person tied to a bed wanting a cracker as being the inhumane situation that it appears to be. But what is more humane? Leaving a crazy person loose on the streets to hurt others, or keep them put away? Innocent people get hurt and killed all the time by crazy people on pills that even the dr's don't know how they work.
And a person like this can't be expected to make a wise decision on rather they want to die or not. I mean, gee they are mentally ill.
Do you really care about innocent people get hurt and killed?
I have not seen many examples of you really caring about people.
At the very least, there is a whole lot of people you care 0% about.
To me, it's just a principle, simply the 'golden rule':
V1) “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
V2) “What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others.”
V3) “Treat others the way they would like to be treated.”
Or just how Mahatma Gandhi said it: “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.”
Or Hubert Humphrey (U.S. Vice President, 1977–1981), who in a 1977 speech said: “The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.”
But now the crazys about out number the sane. the problem has been glossed over until it is all but mainstream. And yet ,people are wondering what is wrong!!
To many asylums closed. beautiful buildings rotting down, that served a great purpose.

A fitting explanation for Trump's presidency.
Yes, here is how you judge this: what would you want for YOURSELF.
If I had to exist strapped down to a bed, I would want to be DEAD.
If I needed to be drugged out of my mind, I would want to be DEAD.
you are forgetting, we are not talking about logical,sane people here, we are talking about people that are nuts beyond function
I would prefer to be death, because there would be no hope.
There is no way to convince me that there is a mental state where people prefer to be strapped down or being completely sedated, instead of getting anything better. This is purely a case of cost vs care.
There is only one mental state where people prefer to be cared for as cheaply as possible, instead of with empathy and sympathy, and that's what you are indoctrinated to want for people. Your cult celebrates cruelty, not just for terrorists, criminals, illegals, drug-addicts, Palestinians, the poor, the mentally ill, the minorities, people with other political opinions or women, but even for yourself.
You think human rights are nonsense. To you, the tiniest sliver of lack of
self-responsibility equals a justification for elimination.
You don't see a need to minimize cruelty, to achieve a goal, as long as
you think that the goal is justified.
I asked ChatGPT to determine your ideology on these values. It calls it: Totalitarian mindset / Machiavellian amorality.
I call it 'mental illness'. Maybe we should put you away to protect society.

You are asking to give up all of your freedoms, for the idea of safety.
Well, they are prepared to TAKE your freedoms, for the idea of safety.
But, you are not willing to give up your idea of safety, for actual safety.
I'm not willing to sacrifice my actual safety for the idea of safety.
I'm not willing to sacrifice my freedom for either.
You are sacrificing everyone's freedom, because you want to FEEL safe.
Guns are not actual safety, they provide you with the IDEA of safety.

Sharp objects (e.g., knives) account for about 8.1% of homicides.
You can of course mix in the race card. Most homicides in the US are committed by Black/African Americans. It's only logical that people who are growing up way more often in poor, dangerous communities, with much less chances to make it, will be over-represented in homicide and other crime statistics.
If you wanted to solve that, you would need DEI. However, you prefer to never solve any problems and vote for people who just mirror your anger about those problems and blame the victims.
Name one solution that your MAGA politicians have proposed to reduce crime, without being cruel to anyone, take freedoms away from anyone
or reduce the quality of life of anyone.
No one should give 2 shits about the freedoms of a criminal.

I know you would stand back and let a thug kill off your entire family without lifting a finger and offer them a cup of tea with some truffles but that is just not the nature of some people.
I know that is a stretch but your mindset sure does convey that message.
I just can't see how you justify leaving dangerous people loose and think it is ok for others to feel threatened all the time.
The ideas you help to spread and normalize are an inspiration
to many crazies, who do lots of harm.
Those ideas helped elect Trump, who is doing lots of harm.
You are supporting a genocide.
You are supporting Putin's propaganda, to further his imperialist goals.
You are supporting the kidnapping of innocent people to prison camps.
You are supporting arbitrary detention of vulnerable people.
You are supporting the elimination of healthcare for many people.
You are supporting the return of almost eradicated infectious diseases.
You are supporting the cancellation of crucial medical research.
You are supporting that under@ge r@pe victims don't get justice.
You are supporting government control over women's bodies.
You are supporting the destruction of a social safety net that many people rely on.
You are supporting the destruction of an independent constitutional state.
You are supporting the destruction of free and fair elections.
You are supporting the destruction of freedom of speech.
You are supporting the destruction of independent education.
You are supporting the destruction of just plain old decency in politics.
You never present a solution for the abuse of social safety nets.
I want independant education. I want parents to be able to send their kids to the schools of their choice. Private schools would offer better choices and better quality education than public.
several others of that list are wrong. you just can't see but 1 solution and that is to leave a corrupt socialist government in charge of everything important in our lives.
And you are SO naive if you trust the government with your safety. you may as well bungie jump every day off a bridge,
that requires more money.
We differ in opinion on what abuse of social safety nets would be.
To me, they are a tool to achieve more equality, to benefit everyone.
For as much as you are referring to real fraud, that's mostly a lie from people who want to destroy social safety nets.
Parents are not the only ones who should have freedom in education and religion, so should children. Children should be protected from the most extreme delusions of their parents, whether they may be extremely religious, extremely conservative or extremely 'woke'. Your views are not the average of the American public, so education shouldn't just bow to your will. The choice should be limited to at maximum varying mildly around the middle.
Private schools only provide better quality at much higher costs. Most people cannot afford that, so public education should be the standard.
What reason do you have to add corrupt to 'socialist government in charge'? Your capitalist system is incredibly corrupt.
You still don't fucking understand the term 'socialist'.
You still think it's the same as 'communist'. Will you ever learn?
The term 'socialist' means owned and controlled by ALL the people.
The term 'communist' means owned and controlled by the government.
The term 'capitalist' means owned and controlled by a wealthy minority.
In both communism and capitalism, the people are trusting a minority to handle their best interests, in socialism we maximize democratic control
to best serve our interests by means of compromise. That means that I would trust YOU more to find a solution together, than I trust some ruling elites to power over me. That reduces the division in a country, because the elites intentionally divide the people, to serve themselves.
Private schools are capitalist schools. They are owned by companies, investors or wealthy owners. The owners control and shape it to serve THEM, not the people for who it is intended. That's corruption, by definition.
Socialist education would mean that we all pay for it through taxes. We all have a voice in how to shape it, so it benefits all of us. We, the people, will prevent it from getting corrupted, with our combined voice.
I DON'T trust the government. I am not a communist, I am a SOCIALIST.
I trust that people can work out their problems best together, instead of handing over our power to one dictator or a group of ruling elites.
That's because one person or a small group of people can inflict too much damage with that power. We cannot of course do politics with 17 million (or in your case 330 million) people. So, we need representatives to make compromises for all of us, to solve problems effectively. And we keep a damn close eye on them, so they don't abuse their power.
The same applies to the monopoly on the legitimate use of force.
Guns are too powerful in the hands of the random person.
They can inflict too much damage with it.
So, we need representatives to protect our safety. And we keep a damn close eye on them, so they don't abuse their power.
You don't have to agree, but it would be nice if you understood.
"several others of that list are wrong"
The politicians who you elected are doing exactly what I said.

I had no idea it would be hard to find a decent video depicting a actual crazy person banging around. there are all kinds of people getting mad at games and crap but none of actual nut cases just sitting around banging their heads and such for demonstration purpose.
Was that person crazy BEFORE they locked him up
or did he turn that way from the 'treatment'?

Judges in the US often have your attitude to mental illness.
Many people who pose no danger at all are already locked up like you want.
Based on extrapolation from eight states that provide data on it, there were over one million emergency psychiatric detentions annually between 2013 and 2015.
The fact that 42 states don't even provide data on this is ridiculous.
In my country, around the same period, we had on average 8,300 emergency psychiatric detentions. That's 120 times less for a population that is 19 times smaller than yours.
Am I the only one who thinks that strapping a suicidal person to a bed
is a crime against humanity? Did you have any thoughts about this?
Would you want to get bombed or shot while minding your own business simply because a person wasn't happy with what's in their pants?, i don't
Imagine yourself strapped to a bed for the rest of your life.
The fact that you support this for people who MIGHT do something awful,
is absolute dystopian lunacy. How many people are you talking about?
Do you think your former girlfriend was going to bomb or shoot people?
Nowhere in the modern world are kids as unsafe in school as in the US.
But instead of addressing mental healthcare in a civilized way and keeping guns away from the crazy, your solutions are MORE guns and strap everyone who is not happy in your awful country to a bed. Will that Make America Great Again?
Great like in the 1800's? You have an awful idea of history, if you want that.
Even you are living in absolute luxury compare to what was normal then.
You are also living in blissful freedom compared with people of those times.
Why do people like you want to turn back the clock to savage times?
Would you go back to then, when you get a one way trip in a time machine?
Would my girlfriend have harmed me after she woke up and was able, probably if she had been able to because she was angry i called for help and she lived.
people that have mental issues are not like you and I. We argue and discuss things and don't agree, but we dont' harm each other. Mentally ill people get mad if there is nothing to get mad about, get mad if they don't get what they want and so on. unpredictable.
and there is discussion about gun control for some issues,
there were a couple recent shootings involving people not happy with what's in their pants,

Your country is having a massive problem, not mine.
Are Americans suffering from mental illness more, somehow?
How about you explain that? Are Americans genetically inferior?
Or am I right in saying that your society is fucked up?
If so, why is that not the result from your ideas?
We are dealing with all problems in the opposite way, and we don't have
your problems. A smart person would learn something from that.
How is she living now? Still strapped to a bed? That's not a life.
If that was done to my ex-girlfriend, I would create media outrage until
she was treated humanely. The fact that you accept this is mind-boggling to me.
I have seen mental illness from a short distance. The mother of my brother's
ex-wife was quite crazy. She was in forced mental care several times in her life. I have not heard that she was ever locked up in an isolation cell, the "padded room", which is the most extreme version. The lesser version is a "seclusion room", which is more like a hotel room, but with everything bolted to the floor, below that is the "extra-secure room", which looks like a normal apartment without heavy furnishings to throw with, but with camera surveillance. Those are all temporary measures, in case of a mental health crisis. Fore everyone who is communicative, they have a pretty normal room. They just don't give them any metal knives and forks. The door isn't even locked. They have enough personnel to not have to do that. There is just 24/7 HELP. She was there several times, sometimes a few days, but longest for at least a month. Other than that, she was able to live a 'normal' life. I have visited her for birthday parties several times. She was a bit weird, but I've never seen her freak out. When there is people around, they mostly are able to keep it together.
My brother has seen some episodes though, mostly with a boyfriend.
She had multiple, who lasted between weeks and at maximum a few years.
My brother always got along with them. He saw some huge quarrels, where a guy was pointed to the door by her. That was a usual thing. One came back several times, letting her cool off for a few days, and then it was OK for a while. The stories were interesting. That lasted well into their marriage, until his ex-wife (still wife then) was tired of her mother. She couldn't handle the drama all the time. That lasted one or two years, and then she heard that her mother hang herself from the staircase. I think she just got tired of herself.
Unfortunately, her daughter had some of her 'crazy genes'. My brother is a patient guy, so I didn't see any huge quarrels, but I've seen her flip out several times, over absolutely nothing. In the end she broke the marriage. He had to finish his house, sell it, and pay her off with about $20,000. She found an apartment somewhere and no one has heard from her in years. He has a new girlfriend, a new house renovation project taking years, and the second son on the way.
There is a record of under 10 known transgender suspects out of
4,400 shootings (~0.11%).
The largest group of mass shooters are right-wing extremists.
I know your right-wing media is telling to take guns away from trans people, because they present them as a threat. However, if there is one group of people who is in need of self-defense, it's trans people, which is threatened by right-wing extremists.
It's simple, take away the guns from right-wing extremists, problem solved!
she is going to get arrested again.

The author is Stephen Pollard. From 2008 until December 2021, he was the editor
of The Jewish Chronicle and he remains a senior advisor, and writer on the paper.
You're literally parroting Israeli propaganda.
why is it parroting if it is fact?
Should she 'learn' something from getting arrested for protesting?
Protesting is a right. The law should not be abused to 'teach' people
to not use their democratic rights.
Propaganda isn't 100% untrue, it's about flipping the truth to serve a goal.
The propaganda is trying to make it about her, by calling her narcissist,
instead of addressing the reason why she is protesting; a genocide.
I wouldn't call it propaganda, if it was just a statement of facts.
I'm calling it propaganda, because he's creating a narrative to attack her character.
She is a protester. She has shown herself to be consistent in her principles.
She's not in it for herself. Even you questioned her sanity for spending all her time
and risking life and limb on these issues. She does it, because it attracts interest
to the problem that she is protesting against. That's the goal of literally all protests.
She's not there to get admiration from people, she's there only for the purpose.
People who don't like that, because of their political agenda, try to discredit her,
instead of honestly discussing their differences of opinion. That's a dishonest tactic,
but you seem to like that, or you just don't perceive it.
You better learn to perceive it, because that's how they hack your mind.
it would be much safer to stay away , but she is going willingly, and should she be captured, no effort should be made to retrieve her moreso than folks taken hostage by no fault of their own.
She does put herself in dangerous situations, true.
Are only men allowed to do that, in your opinion?
Getting bombed by Israel is the biggest risk there.
/ˈnдrsəsəst/
noun
noun: narcissist; plural noun: narcissists
a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves.
"narcissists who think the world revolves around them"
so yea, i would say the word describes her well,
if all things were equal as you and many others claim you want it to be, women and men would be treated the same way if they were in danger. but it's not that way. people tend to be more upset about a woman being a hostage or in danger than a man. why?,i don't know.
It's like on Memorial Day 2017, President Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery, accompanied by then–Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly.
Kelly’s son, Robert, a 29-year-old Marine killed in Afghanistan in 2010, was buried
in Section 60 of the cemetery. While standing by his son’s grave, Trump reportedly turned to Kelly and said: “I don’t get it. What was in it for them?”.

she has autism
Does Greta Thunberg have ADHD?
Greta Thunberg is a young climate activist who attributes her passion for preventing climate change to her autism.
How rich is Greta Thunberg?
Greta Thunberg has an estimated net worth of $100,000 in 2025. Her net worth in 2025 consists of modest earnings from book royalties, most of which she donates to environmental causes. She also earns income from documentary rights and receives publicly disclosed support for basic living expenses.
so where does this basic living expense come from??? taxes?

The Madleen carried essential supplies like baby formula, flour, rice, diapers, water-desalination kits, medical supplies, crutches, and children’s prosthetics.
The Tesla wasn't a permanent gift, but she did use it during her 2019 North American tour.
There’s no evidence she has ADHD. Greta Thunberg has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, which is part of the autism spectrum. I know exactly what it is, because one of my best friends has Asperger’s. He has some problems making decisions and standing up for himself, but people with Asperger’s are in no way narcissists.
That she donates her earnings, is showing the exact opposite of what you are trying to demonstrate.
She could be rich of her book royalties & publications, speaking engagements, awards and prize money, which would have added up to millions by now, but instead she does not keep any of the income personally. All proceeds go into the Greta Thunberg Foundation, which redistributes them to climate and social sustainability efforts. Greta leads a minimalist lifestyle. She avoids luxury and flies only when absolutely necessary. Instead, she favors trains, electric transport, or sailboats. For practical needs like travel and lodging, Greta’s family covers those expenses rather than relying on income from her activism.
It's all evidence that calling her a narcissists is rediculous, she's the opposite.
To you Hamas are some evil idiots, but they do understand when people support their cause of freedom for the Palestinian people. They would not hurt her.

1) She should be prepared to get taken hostage by Hamas.
2) She is a bitch for Hamas!
Claims 1 and 2 are contradictory.
People who think Hamas is cool, don't care about the freedom of Palestinians.
Protesting against the genocide of Palestinians and wanting freedom for Palestinians, is the opposite of 'being a bitch for Hamas'.
She would make Trump admit all his crimes, with the lasso of truth.
Trump has already admitted to most of his crimes (admissions keep spilling from his malfunctioning brain), but not all at once. I imagine that it would take many hours.

He didn't even do it on purpose. It's reckless and he caused the death of 3 people.
That's bad, but according to you, all illegals are drugdealers, murderers and r@pists.
The only thing you come up with, in months, is some truck driver who fucked up.
By the way, he's NOT officially an illegal immigrant. That's a false statement.
He claimed asylum, which can take years to resolve. His case is still pending in immigration court. He paid a $5,000 immigration bond. While waiting, he was granted
a federal work permit, which allowed him to lawfully remain and work in the U.S..
That enabled him to lawfully acquire a commercial driver’s license in California.
From Jan 1 till July 31, 2025, there have been 268 mass shootings in the U.S.
Total casualties include 262 people killed (including perpetrators) and 1,161 wounded.
NONE of the perpetrators have been identified as illegal immigrants.
The US is mostly deporting hard working people. Where are all those drugdealers, murderers and r@pists that Trump keeps talking about?
of course he cried for asylum, that's how the terrorist get in here and hang out in plain site.
i call this a terrorist attack although it only killed 3,it has harmed alot of lives, you know family.
A terrorist attack is an act of mass violence for political reasons.
You're now twisting definitions to fit your political agenda.
Where are all the real drugdealers, murderers, r@pists and terrorists?

Did he know then that he caused the death of 3 people?
You watch him knowing the result, thinking he knew it too.
Understand that this idea puts your brain in a certain state.
I agree that he was being incredibly stupid, but I see no INTENT of killing anyone
and I don't think that you can determine his emotions from a few seconds of video,
that is cut short and likely shows an angle of the accident that he couldn't see.
That camera is much more to the front and higher, than his line of sight.
Why do they pause, or end, or loop the video, at his expressionless face?
I have searched for more video, but I cannot find it. Did you?
Do we have any video or reports about what he did when he found out?
Maybe he starts crying like a baby, directly after they cut it.
Can we believe any media reporting, if they all cut the video short?
Show me real evidence of him being that horrible person, and I'm with you.
Just a tiny thing about that turban, do you who wear turbans like that?
that you hear "immigrant involved in crash". If I don't agree with phart calling it a "terrorist attack", you find me to be a horrible person. I have standards for terms:
"Intentional, directed violence, against civilians to instill fear and achieve political, religious, or ideological goals."
Meanwhile, you lot have been making fun about driving over protesters, when you don't agree with those protesters. You agree with intentionally killing protesters,
that you don't agree with, politically. That does fit the definition of terrorism.
You lot have made a hero from a 17 y.o. kid who went to a protest carrying an AR-15, 'definitely not looking for trouble', but finding it, and killing 2 people, wounding a 3th.
If you do agree with protesters, you will cry for years, when one of them is killed.
I find you two horrible people, for your bigotry.
I'm here discussing opinions, you just drop them on people

The US has such a horrible opioids problem that it's central to you border security policies and pointed out by Trump as the reason for the tariffs with Mexico and Canada.
In 2023, the US had 105,000 people dying from overdoses.
80,000 of those deaths involved opioids.
(population: 334.9 million) -> 31.4 o.d. deaths/100,000 people
23.9 opioid o.d. deaths/100,000 people
In 2023, the Netherlands had 338 people dying from overdoses.
178 of those deaths involved opioids.
(population 17.88 million) -> 1.9 o.d. deaths/100,000
1.00 opioid o.d. deaths/100,000 people

So put that in your opinionated pipe and smoke it
a conscious decision to run over protesters, not an accident.
If a white right-winger killed 10 black gay-rights protesters, while it is clear that
the driver was not in any danger, you would defend the driver, because you think those protesters are wrong on principle.
You can disagree with protesters blocking a road, but that's not a capital offense.
It's an inconvenience, not a violent attack, no reason for the driver to use lethal force to defend themselves.
What you include in that argument, could be an argument, if it was true, but that's no argument to allow driving over people, when it is NOT true.
It doesn't require new laws to allow people to defend themselves, when they are in danger. Your self defense laws are already taking the position of the one defending themselves, accepting their claim of being at risk much too easily.
I would never blame the people in the black car. They are innocent victims.
I don't know who those 3 million people are, and I don't agree with them.
The guy still made a very irresponsible and illegal move, causing 3 deaths.
I just don't see that as a reason to call him a terrorist, or an evil person.
Can you understand that morality is a scale, not binary?
a commercial drivers license is difficult to get for people that can read and speak english as a first language,not to mention the health card and such, and this fool makes a illegal u turn and kills 3 people and all folks can whine about is he is not illegal he is a asylum seeker. no he is a son of a bitch and he killed 3 people. death penalty and that way no one has to keep him up.

here is the kind of shit i was referring to when i ask if the democrats would let him be punished, they want him to be made to do community service?!!!!!!! sheesh, that is not justice.
He will likely be judged guilty of either:
1. Vehicular Manslaughter (U.S., U.K., other common law countries)
Definition: Causing the death of another person due to negligent or reckless driving.
Examples: Running a red light and hitting another car.
Driving under the influence and causing a fatal crash.
2. Dangerous Driving Causing Death (Used in many countries, including Canada, Australia, and parts of the EU) - Focuses specifically on reckless or dangerous conduct behind the wheel. The "dangerous" part refers to behavior that a competent and careful driver would clearly recognize as risky.
3. Involuntary Manslaughter (broader term in some systems) - Used when a person kills someone unintentionally, but due to unlawful or reckless actions.
He can expect to be in jail for at least a few years.
He's very likely not getting his asylum anymore either.
If he was a MAGA-hat wearing white guy, causing the death of 3 immigrants,
Trump would pardon him the day after his sentence.

She talks about a serious systematic problem with companies respecting safety standards, and you completely ignore it all. You're only talking about the things that fit your agenda. She talks 10 seconds about his facial expression, and that's the only thing you got out of it.
She's also making a judgement mistake by blaming that the truck was overweight on the driver. It's the company's responsibility to respect safety regulations. If they don't do that, they are most likely forcing all their drivers to drive overweight containers. Do you think he was in the position to demand anything from his employer?
She does point out correctly that there are lots of drivers on your roads who are unqualified to do so. This guy was obviously unqualified. Have you ever seen how they drive trucks in India? They have some of the most lethal roads on the planet. Maybe that's why he was afraid to go back to India. Most truckers don't survive to make it to retirement.
Instead of your government fixing the system, so you don't have Indian Mad Max drivers, the Trump administration, with the help of Elon Musk, has destroyed most agencies that need to investigate companies that violate the rules. And now your media is distracting you from that, by blaming the driver. Now you dumb-asses want to lynch him, without giving a shit about the systemic problems, that were already going on,
and which Trump/Musk have made even worse.
So go ahead, burn him at the stake! Do you think that will solve ANYTHING?
and the tickets are not cheap. the dmv will give you a 2000 pound leway, but if you are 2001 pounds over, you get ticketed for the whole amount.

Yes, the truck driver can be held responsible if their vehicle is overweight, especially if it leads to an accident. While the trucking company and other parties may also share liability, the driver has a duty to operate the vehicle safely and within legal weight limits. Failing to do so, such as by ignoring weight restrictions or not verifying the load's weight, can be considered negligence and make the driver liable for resulting damages.
It's likely that they forced him to break rules, because this company has a record
of multiple violations. If he can provide evidence that they forced him, that's called
"defense of duress". With their record, that's a credible defense.
“Coercion” under FMCSA rules:
Since 2016, the FMCSA “driver coercion rule” (49 CFR § 390.6) explicitly prohibits motor carriers, shippers, receivers, or brokers from coercing drivers into violating safety regulations (like hours of service, vehicle condition, or weight rules).
If the cargo's documentation is NOT showing that it's over weight,
then that's probably "fraud". He will certainly not be responsible then.
In any case, that's not applicable now, to his illegal U-turn,
but if he can show that they are consistently scamming him with his hours,
and overworking him, that is a legitimate defense.
He doesn't look tired in the dashcam footage, but he also doesn't look lively.
You said yourself that he looks mentally numb. That's a sign too.
ok, so he looses a job or he drives and hopes like hell shit don't hit the fan.
How about not making drivers responsible for making sure that companies
follow the law and respect safety?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the primary federal agency tasked with regulating the trucking industry. Its mission is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses through regulations, enforcement, education, and research.
Under the Trump administration (and reportedly DOGE’s influence), enforcement actions and staffing took hits:
Enforcement dropped sharply. Enforcement actions by FMCSA declined nearly 60% in early 2025 compared to the same period under the previous administration.
This slowdown began soon after Trump took office, as new procedural requirements (like requiring legal review of cases) delayed enforcement. Cases of dangerous companies were left unaddressed, with some dropped entirely, even those involved in fatal crashes.
Staff reductions occurred in NHTSA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a sister agency under the U.S. Department of Transportation that sets safety standards for vehicles. NHTSA saw its workforce trimmed by more than 25%, dropping from 772 to 555 employees, which critics warn undermines safety oversight.
DOGE’s role (Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency): DOGE reportedly terminated staff at NHTSA, part of broader layoffs and reorganizations, and thereby could have weakened safety oversight.
I'm not saying this accident was a (direct) result of Trump's or DOGE's actions,
but they WILL cause accidents.
Are white American drivers never making illegal moves in traffic?
Can white Americans drive trucks from birth? No need to train and test them?
Can white Americans drive as long as the employers wants them to, without
ever getting tired?
Or will you just feel a lot better about it, when a white American does the exact same thing, causing the exact same number or more deaths?
didn't know but 1 of 4 signs he was shown, using a interpreter and had 2 not 1,but 2 cdl license issued to him from democrat states. see a pattern? democrat run dmvs issue people that can't speak or read english a license to operate a 40 ton metal object among us. so dangerous.
It's ALWAYS Republicans who cut funds for oversight and safety, not Democrats.
You yourself are a big fan of that "deregulation".
How about regulation that keeps unqualified drivers from getting drivers licenses?
⚖️ Framing & Politics
Republicans: Typically frame these moves as “cutting red tape” and helping small trucking businesses survive.
Democrats: More likely to prioritize strict enforcement and stronger safety requirements, often aligning with labor unions and safety advocacy groups.
Safety Advocates’ View: Many Republican-led changes (especially delays/rollbacks of Obama-era rules) were seen as increasing risks of fatigue, speeding, or poorly trained drivers on the road.
Obama/Democrats/Biden introduced training improvements: MAP-21
(Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, 2012).
It was a surface transportation reauthorization law that:
- Funded highways and transit for FY2013–2014,
- Reauthorized highway safety programs,
- Included permanent provisions like the Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) mandate and the Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse requirement.
Republican-Led Deregulation Affecting Road Safety NEGATIVELY:
1. Hours of Service (HOS) Rules
HOS rules limit how long truck drivers can drive before resting.
Under the Obama administration, FMCSA tightened these rules (e.g., requiring two overnight periods in the 34-hour restart).
Under Trump (2017), Republicans suspended and rolled back some of those rest requirements, giving drivers more “flexibility.”
Criticism: Safety advocates argued this could increase fatigue-related crashes.
Industry supported it as easing unnecessary burdens.
2. Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs)
ELDs automatically record driving hours, making it harder to falsify logs.
Mandated under Obama (final rule in 2015).
Some Republicans tried to delay or repeal the mandate (Rep. Brian Babin of Texas introduced bills).
Trump administration implemented the rule but signaled openness to exemptions.
Criticism: Rolling back ELDs would reduce compliance with fatigue laws.
3. Speed Limiters
Obama-era FMCSA proposed requiring electronic speed limiters on trucks.
The Trump DOT (Republican-led) withdrew the rule in 2017.
Criticism: Safety groups say this killed a measure that could have reduced crash severity.
4. Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) Rule Delays Mandated by MAP-21 (2012).
Finalized under Obama in 2016.
The Trump administration delayed compliance twice (from 2020 to 2022), citing industry readiness.
Criticism: Delaying left gaps in training standards, potentially putting less-prepared drivers on the road.
5. Enforcement Slowdown
As I mentioned earlier, FMCSA enforcement actions dropped ~60% after Trump took office, partly due to new procedural hurdles and a general deregulatory stance.
Criticism: Allowed unsafe carriers to operate longer without penalties.

They also blamed the driver, and he was certainly not innocent.
No matter if he caused the deaths of 100 people, by driving into a truck transporting nitroglycerin (just an example), an accident is still an accident. A judge should weigh the responsibility for the accident and the likelihood of what can be expected resulting from the risk, less what actually happened. That's why a drunk driver is also getting pretty severely punished, if they didn't cause any accident. They can be expected
to cause deaths. Judges shouldn't act on "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth".
"Over the past decade (2012–2021), Canada experienced a decline in commercial vehicle collisions and fatalities. In 2012, there were 400 fatalities resulting from commercial vehicle collisions, which decreased to 343 by 2021, a reduction of
over 14%."
"Regarding the involvement of immigrants in fatal truck accidents, specific data is not readily available. However, a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal indicates that recent immigrants are less likely to be involved in serious motor vehicle crashes compared to the general population. The study found a 45% relative reduction in the incidence of crashes among recent immigrants, suggesting they are less prone to being drivers in serious motor vehicle crashes."

Now why is that?
When a 'native' gets into an accident, there are not immediately millions of people pointing at the driver. They will wait until the legal process results in a conclusion.
An immigrant driver is immediately blamed, and when they are found guilty, they don't just get punished like the 'native', they also often get deported. That's why they are
in general more careful. They have more to lose.
Still, an immigrant from a country like India with driving experience of the lethal roads of India, might not be the best suited for a driving job in a western country.
They should get extensive training and go through strict tests, before they are
accepted as qualified.
That's not what your regime is doing. You want to disqualify all immigrant by default and deport them without a chance, purely out of prejudices, while closing your eyes
to companies that cause accidents on the roads.
"Reports indicate that he had been driving for approximately 13 hours on the day of the crash, which is within the legal driving limits for commercial truck drivers in Canada. However, there have been discussions about the broader issues of driver fatigue and working conditions in the trucking industry."
I once drove back from Denmark, with friends, after our vacation together. It took 11 hours, because of traffic jams. We switched driving position several times, so I had probably driven about half of the hours. When we came home, I was beat.
Driving 13 hour on end is brutal. Why do we allow that to happen on our roads?
In my country, there are not enough resting places either. The difference is that
you can drive from the most Northern end to the most Southern end in 4 hours,
if there are no traffic jams. It's mostly international truckers who have a hard time finding a resting place in my country. So, how should it be solved?
Either the government invests in resting places, or the companies that operate international truckers should be forced to invest in resting places on their properties. Just waiting until the problem fixes itself, is never a solution.

The report itself says that he is capable of using translation devices.
Does the fact that he uses translation devices in court, tell you something?
The communication in court is a lot more complex than the communication
with a traffic cop. He came over very polite, by the way.
In the EU, drivers are constantly driving in countries that they don't speak
the language of. That doesn't necessarily make them worse drivers.

I'm indeed calling that racism. Are those emotions genuine? Probably, but not admirable.
When was it ever an Indian guy shooting up kids?
terrorist
as for the indians, i have always thought they were a rather peaceful people except when it came to buying all the 7-11's and making a dollar.
if they (there were a few female school shooters) act out of a political or religious or dogmatic ideology. If they are just crazy, even if they are without conscience and wanting to do harm, that's not 'terrorism', by definition.
Indians are mostly a peaceful people, especially the ones wearing turbans,
who are Sikh. The Sikh religion is the most peaceful religion on Earth.
They do have emotions, but they are taught to act from reason and divine remembrance rather than raw impulse. It's about balance: don’t let emotions dominate you, but also don’t bury them. Instead, integrate them with reason, remembrance of the Divine, and ethical living.
Sikhism teaches that one should act from a place of Naam Simran (remembrance of God) and Gurmat (the Guru’s wisdom) rather than from impulsive emotional reactions.
The aim is not suppression of feelings, but recognition and transformation—channeling emotions toward constructive, spiritual, and ethical action.
Example: Anger itself isn’t always condemned—righteous indignation against injustice is encouraged—but uncontrolled personal anger is discouraged.
The more 'extreme' a Sikh becomes, the less likely they are to even hurt a fly.
That's why I berated your use of the term 'terrorism' in his case. He fucked up,
he made his move intentionally, but I very sure that he didn't intend to hurt anyone. However, your first impulse is always to assume evil intent, when any person is doing something that results in a negative outcome, or just something that you don't like. You do that, because it's part of the ideology that you support. They are learned mental processes, which they teach you intentionally. It's so you can tell yourself
that you are 'morally correct' and everyone else is 'immoral'. It's a very effective strategy to discourage ethical and critical thinking.
but no, he was to interested in putting tampons in boys bathrooms instead of security guards at the doors?

so instead of sheepishly laughing, tell the world
what's so ridiculous about his ideas.
To me, he made a lot of sense.
I don't think paying your politicians a medium wage would work, because then they would only take more 'donations', and sell their influence to even more special interests and wealthy people. At their current wage, people are already saying that they should
be allowed to 'better themselves', because they are all educated people.
I would propose making their wage dependent on them actually engaging in politics. Some of them never show up for debates, never write a bill, never write an amendment. They are just present to vote the party line, without ever reading a bill.
Our biggest party in the House of Commons is the PVV, the right-wing populist party
of Geert Wilders. They have 37 representatives, and their corner is almost empty the majority of the time. It's completely empty 34% of all debates. One representative has never showed himself in debates, only shows up to vote. Five of them have never even given their 'maidenspeech'. Still, they get all paid $164,265/year.
My party is present for less debates, but they only have 5 representatives, they are almost as effective with less than 1/5th of the people. They also get paid $164,265/year, but they donate 53% of it to their party, leaving them just about median wage.
They don't take any personal donations, they don't trade in stocks, and they know
damn-well what they're voting for, when they show up to vote.
Here’s another one of the videos where your average “someone” finds interesting content and decides to upload it under their name and the only thing they change is that they’ve added their face which then makes it “theirs”. The woman in this video looks completely crazy, mouth as big as one you would see on a horse.

The SP has continued its long-standing stance: opposing mass labor migration and advocating for stricter controls to protect workers and housing markets. This aligns with their broader views on neoliberalism, globalization, and safeguarding the Dutch working class.
only registered users can see external links
This is not a new stands of the SP. The party has been saying the exact same thing, since 1983, far before right-wing populists were addressing it as a problem. However, right-wingers used it to demonize brown people, to redirect people's anger about seeing their jobs being given to cheap workers, for the profits of the employers, towards racism.
Since that right-wing populist party was voted in as the biggest party in 2023, all their laws were designed to restrict actual refugees, and NONE to restrict the million labor migrants from Eastern Europe. They only care about the racism, not about fixing the problem.
This is the stands of my SP, about labor migration, from their own website:
only registered users can see external links
The SP considers labor migration a form of modern slavery. There are between 800,000 and 1.2 million labor migrants in the Netherlands, no one knows the exact number.
They are brought here by companies, exploited, and discarded when no longer needed. An increasingly large portion of the homeless population in the Netherlands consists of labor migrants. Meanwhile, the pressure on our neighborhoods, social services, and housing market is high, even as companies profit.
But labor migration also causes problems in the countries of origin. It uproots communities, leaves children growing up without their parents, and leads to local jobs being taken over by even lower-paid labor migrants. Through various legal loopholes, more and more labor migrants from outside Europe are now working in the Netherlands. This lawlessness must come to an end.
We will stop uncontrolled labor migration. We will do this by introducing work permits and setting a migration cap of 40,000 per year. This way, we ensure that only those who are truly needed can come here to work, we can tackle the exploitation of labor migrants by employers, and we can help those who genuinely need protection and are fleeing war and violence.
