“evidence of ideologically driven intent”

Goddam USA has thought police now! Americans can now officially be accused of thought crimes!
The absolute worst thing there has been warned about since the term was coined by George Orwell.
A key thing that was not supposed to be able to happen in a democracy!

But USA is not a democracy, and Federal agencies like ICE, FBI and NSA are now the Gestapo and the SS (Schutzstaffel) of the Trump regime. And some Americans think there will still be fair elections?!

not for the benefit of the citizens of the United States.

Of course it wasn’t, it was so the US government could control the propaganda instead of China.

There are a lot of good Americans, and also exceptional Americans, unfortunately you are a minority.
And to be frank, it seems the American population isn’t learning, because if they did, they wouldn’t have elected Trump after electing Bush twice.
Bush was bad and extremely unpopular, yet Trump who is clearly worse than Bush on every single point was still elected twice too.

They are not as religiously fanatic as the Trump administration.

Now Trump is even begging former allies to help USA in the Hormuz strait. Maybe he should have thought of that, before threatening to invade allied nations, and starting trade wars with everybody, and threatening to abandon NATO, and completely fail to help Ukraine against Russia that is a common enemy to Europe and USA, but not to Trump because Trump is somehow compromised and a traitor to USA and democracy.

To say Trump has no plan is to put it mildly. Trump had a plan originally, and that plan is so simplistic only a child could conceive it.

The plan was that Iran should surrender or collapse quickly!

Yes that’s right, that was the entire plan! As stupid as that sounds. And when that didn’t happen, they were completely unprepared for anything else. Trump had the typical simple minded bully mentality, to sucker-punch Iran, with the expectation that they would give in immediately.

Instead we are seeing Trump once again dramatically increasing the speed of the demise of the American empire, just as he did with the above mentioned behavior, threatening allies and waging trade wars against everybody.

As Trump stated: “I guess our relations aren’t what they used to be.”

Your goddam right they aren’t. And just to be clear to the Americans, this is not just about Trump, it’s the entire administration. And the fact that the American population elected Trump twice, means we don’t trust the population either anymore.

To say Trump should end the war does nothing. At least not unless he is given some sort of out where he can save face. But that does not appear to be available that I can see. So as a result, he may just as likely try to put boots on the ground. And if he does that, he will 100% sure only embarrass himself and USA further. Because Iran is way way more difficult than Afghanistan, In Afghanistan there was a government somewhat in power that supported the allied forces. AND there were actually allied forces, which there won’t be in Iran. And finally Iran is a 10 times harder nut to crack, because it has more than twice the population and area, and it has way better organized and equipped troops for guerrilla war. With more an better places to hide.

Heather Ammel contends in a lawsuit that she and husband Matthew had “a good and loving marriage” and “genuine love and affection”

That woman Heather Anmel is insane, her husband was unfaithful and that is 100% on him. Sinema never promised to be faithful to a woman she probably never met, but the husband of the crazy wife obviously did.

blames Sinema for the marriage breakup.

The marriage probably wasn’t as loving as she thought.

North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow jilted spouses to sue for “alienation of affection”

Absolutely insane, a third party that is with someone who is married never promised anything, and hence also didn’t break a promise. It’s insane how people are so dense, and blame anybody else but the person they are married to that actually made a promise. For the state to allow such cases is insane!!!

The amendments Negrea presented on 9 March included a demand that the word ‘gender’ in the document’s first paragraph be defined as referring ‘only to men and women on the basis of biological sex, and not to subjective notions of gender identity.’ The European Union, speaking through the Netherlands’ representative, called on all delegations to vote against the entire package of amendments in one bloc. By a recorded vote of 26 in favour to 11 against, with five abstentions, the Commission agreed to treat the amendments as a single package. That package was then rejected: 26 against, 14 abstentions, and only the United States in favour.

I suspected this was an issue, giving women equal rights is apparently considered a slippery slope, leading to also giving LGBT equal rights. And Jesus clearly doesn’t want that according to insane Christians.
Good thing they got the resolution passed without discriminating against LGBT.

1: Trump got the Majority vote, so in this case the point is invalid. As democracy actually prevailed.
2: Nope that’s the rules, if you don’t participate in elections, your complaints about the results are void.

Of course in USA that doesn’t have a functional democracy, you can complain if you are not allowed to vote, for instance for being caught with a joint in the 70’s. In a real democracy criminals can vote too. Removing your right to vote because of arbitrary laws that criminalizes behavior that is typical for a demographic you are oppressing is not democracy.

We thank you for your sacrifice, distracting from the Epstein files and the failing economy.

Meaning everybody who is not a “leftie” is a psychopath.

1: There are no signs of that.
2: If you don’t vote, you don’t get a right to complain.

Included this as an edit to my comment above instead.

Country of sycophants.

Edit:
To those that downvote, this is not just the officer, it is also his colleagues that URGED the ambulance to take the officer instead. And finally the ambulance people should CLEARLY have deemed it more important to take the gunshot victim, which the ambulance was called for! This makes it a bad decission not by 1 person, but by at least 5 people who agreed on this insane unprofessional decision all around.

But this anecdote is of course not the reason for my comment, it is everything about American society, American society is based on psychopathy, which is the reason Trump was able to win twice. How could Trump win the election twice unless people were fine with his obvious malignant narcissism.
And if you say it isn’t obvious, it’s because you suffer the same problem. Because IT IS FUCKING OBVIOUS to any normal person.

I suspect so, half is only what is official and that we know of, but those assholes are infamous for hiding wealth in tax shelters.

Is the national average negative?

Maybe if you exclude the 1%, who probably hold half the retirement savings, but obviously are vastly in plus on the total.

Thanks, excellent perspective. 👍

You are changing the subject from that progressive candidates can’t get funding. They can.

IDK who that is, but I’ve used that username online for more than 20 years.

Thanks. I have edited my post to include the Epstein files. Yes I’ve seen surveys that give him 40+% approval. I wrote 30% because that we know for sure AFAIK.

You are changing the subject, Obama did NOT have to bend the knee, but I agree the existence of billionaires is contrary to the ideals of democracy.
