Are you serious? Why do you think we’re destroying the Amazon rainforest, other than to make more room for beef cattle?
We’re wrecking our planet to make McDonald’s rich beyond belief.
The only larger contributor to environmental collapse is the continuing consumption of fossil fuels, and halting the transition to renewable energy, which the United States if pushing full-bore.
The level of support for Trumpism in this country is running at about 40%. My gardener (nice, honest, hard-working guy btw) has the same chance of becoming president in 2028 as you do.
Most Americans have values that are normally categorized as “liberal,” e.g., human rights, quality education, environmental responsibility, rule of law, etc., and are going to be demanding the end of the insanity here.
The Trump administration is working hard to protect the ICE shooter in Minnesota, insofar as the entire legitimacy of “border patrol” personnel roaming the streets of cities 1000 miles from the border is at stake.
But they’re going down hard here, based on the video evidence that is available to everyone on Earth.
The murderer of George Floyd is serving 21 years in prison; let’s expect roughly the same here.
And let’s hope that the sentiment of American voters re: ICE accordingly takes a shift.
Unfortunately, this whole legal process is going to take years to come to a conclusion, during which time human rights and rule of law in the United States may have all but vanished.
Besides the items list at left, what else do we want more of?
Well, guns obviously, especially assault rifles in the hands of those who may be mentally ill. Then let’s add bans on books, and restrictions on what teachers can say in the classroom.
But at the top of the list, we need more freedom for our president to do anything he wants in taking over other countries around the globe. As he himself said, “I don’t need international law.”
I love supporting the thrift store economy, in both donations and purchases. I had six suits and about 80 ties at one point; now I have one suit and perhaps four ties. Somewhere around here, there are people who now dress like they own a Brooks Brothers franchise.
Whenever I make a donation, I look through the t-shirts and try to find a few that have environmentalist themes, maybe “Go Solar!” or “Save the Whales.”
Highly recommended.
Well educated people tend to view Donald Trump as a conman, and most poorly educated people believe he’s here to make America great again.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has strongly criticized the U.S. foreign policy under President Donald Trump and urged the world not to let the world order disintegrate into a “den of robbers” where the unscrupulous take what they want.
OK, but is the United States destroying “world order?” Only if you believe that
• Leading a country into waging an aggressive war constitutes a war crime, punishable by life in prison. If Serbia’s Slobodan Milosevic hadn’t died of a heart attack, that is almost certainly where he would have died some years later.
• The property of sovereign countries, e.g., Venezuelan oil, shouldn’t be stolen by a country with a stronger military.
• Stealing other nations’ property encourages China to take over Taiwan and Russia to polish off Ukraine. God only knows what’s next.
If you actually believe that Trump has brought back respect to the United States from countries around the world, you are a true idiot.
Look, I understand that the entire Trump administration is working hard to protect and ultimately exonerate the ICE agent in the Minnesota gun death. I doubt that there’s anything whatsoever that these armed thugs could do that would cause JD Vance to cry “foul.”
We’ll just have to see what the prosecutor, and ultimately the jury says when the shooter is tried for and convicted of second-degree murder and is sentenced to perhaps 30 years in prison.
What the general says here is correct; the only suggestion I have is to get rid of the word “Gradually.” There is nothing gradual about the path to hell that this country is taking.
Sir: Can’t you do something about this?
Yesterday’s execution of a Minnesota woman by ICE has caught the world’s attention.
Here’s a video that adds a new dimension to how horrific this crime was.
The DHS is doing everything it can to obstruct justice, but I doubt they’ll be successful. This is probably second degree murder, though it could be voluntary manslaughter.
The American people simply want the Gestapo out of our cities.
