You are all to blame for this. You have created a system that has given you the spotlight, so kudos to you, but with this power, you have only promoted Left / Liberal leaning policies and ideologies, which have some of the dumbest and sickest thinking styles. Everything in America isn’t a yes answer. You can’t say yes to every request by every group or community in America.
Essentially, you’ve told the other side that this is our sht, we have the power, the system, and we don’t want any of your ideas, you’re going to eat what I feed you.
By doing business this way, the other side believes they must take extreme measures to cut off the hand that feeding them BS.
Currently, they are willing to accept anyone just to cut off that hand.
That kind of desperate behavior indicates a problem, Perhaps things are currently one-sided?
The cycle of who controls the narrative and what ideologies are injected into American society continues, it has been going back and forth since the American republic was created.
Yup. And, I’ve been ranting and raving about politics and such in the US. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful.
I have freedoms and luxuries that other countries don’t. This country, despite all its corruption and dumb politicians, has a great economy. There’s room for improvement, sure. But this country has the best opportunities in the world.
There is no doubt that the opportunities that America provides us, regardless of our political affiliation, are second to none, and we should be more thankful for these opportunities.
The actions he took in the past qualified him to be the first person prosecuted for their actions, based on what he said he wants to clamp down on.
When he complains about what other people are doing, he doing it himself.
Trump pledges authoritarian crackdown, saying enemies to be prosecuted at levels “never seen before”
Former President Donald Trump is promising to carry out what he described as an unprecedented crackdown on his political enemies should he win the 2024 election, saying that after his victory there will be a wave of arrests and prosecutions at a level “never seen before in our Country.”
The Republican candidate, who recently admitted that he lost the 2020 election, returned Saturday evening to falsely claiming he defeated President Joe Biden but that his victory was stolen from him. In a post shared on social media, Trump reiterated his usual litany of falsehoods about U.S. elections while promising that, “WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again.”
On Saturday, the former president denied the possibility that he could legitimately lose in November. He also emphasized that his promised post-election crackdown would be sweeping in nature, claiming targets would include “Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials.” Hundreds if not thousands of people could ultimately be detained, he suggested, writing: “Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
Trump has previously called for terminating the U.S. Constitution so that he could return to power, while also saying he would be a dictator on “day one.” Under Project 2025, a plan for a second term drafted by allies at the right-wing Heritage Foundation, Trump would purge the federal government of career, nonpartisan bureaucrats, replacing experts and others with MAGA loyalists.
The threat that a second Trump presidency poses to democracy has prompted even some former leading Republicans to speak out. On Friday, former Vice President ■■■■ Cheney endorsed Harris, saying her opponent could not be trusted with ever wielding power again.
“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement.
I am in favor of clamping down on corruption across the board, but I don’t think Trump is the right guy to do so, if you think he is, let’s hear it, make your case.
At the 57:00 mark (I put a timestamp on the link), they start talking about drugs. It’s insane. This is one of the craziest podcasts I’ve ever heard. I consider myself a realist, but after listening, I might pivot to pessimism: there is horrible evil in the world, and no one in power wants to stop it. Some people will prey on you and have no remorse about the outcome.
There is no hope. Nothing you do will make a difference on a large scale. The best you can do is protect yourself and your loved ones, and make positive change on a small scale. Bring light to the lives around you, and be happy with that.
Cocaine and crack cocaine are spreading across Ireland—and not just in the capital Dublin, but in more rural areas as well. How did this happen, and what is being done to combat it?
The problem is access to drugs and if governments were serious about the war on drugs they would go straight to the source / where they are produced. They know where the drugs are produced and even the fields where the drugs are produced. Drugs ruin their countries, but they don’t care about that. self-destruction behavior.
Another problem is legal drugs - Opioid, How much do Governments love their countries?
Pushing opioids. Bribing doctors. Making millions. FRONTLINE and the Financial Times investigate how Insys Therapeutics profited from a fentanyl-based painkiller up to 100 times stronger than morphine — and how some Wall Street investors looked the other way.
