Basically, people are more aware of how they, personally, are affected by the economy.
The economy in general is doing better, but the majority of citizens are able to apply less and less of that to the things they value, and they see more and more of it being funnelled to the already wealthy.
So I guess Trump is no longer allowed to vote in New York?
I presume Florida allows NY felons to vote though…,
I thought you couldn’t have foreign ownership in Dubai?
And I don’t get the pie chart… what’s 100% represent?
Or is this foreign ownership in a particular location, like the US?
That also sounds like a great way to strip police and politicians of all soft power over time.
Do they realize that there are harder but astronomically better ways to manage a protesting public?
What this shows is that Trump’s entire team doesn’t really understand what Libertarian is. Kennedy seemed to understand, but his politics obviously don’t align.
Then again, personally I put Libertarianism in the same camp as Communism as far as ideologies that are great in theory, but handwave the human factor away. The trick is in how to avoid authoritarianism while still being realistic about how humans behave individually and in groups.
Unfortunately, with the Belt and Road initiative, large parts of Africa already have well established Chinese police presence too.
It’s to enforce Chinese law abroad. Google “canada chinese police stations”.
In the eye? So it’s all calm and sunny?
That’s a lot of people flipping the bird….
Wow… 18 missions delivering 40,000 meals to a zone that’s been without resources for almost 6 months and has a population of 2 million and dropping.
Who is that up at 6%?
The problem here is with his editor. They shouldn’t let that kind of latent bias slip through.
I think they should just provide him with the briefs. As brief as possible. We already have four years on the record to show that he can’t understand them anyway and gets his friends in China and Russia to help him figure out what they mean.
They’ve got the right idea — the place to get rid of the current administration is in the primaries. But putting forward an alternative would work better than going anti-Biden.
Because Trump already showed he would have done the same thing with gusto.
Get the country rallying behind a moderate but active and principled Democrat, and you’ve got a recipe for a great next 8 years.
Why does that remind me of The Life of Brian?
New? It was only a few generations ago that public schools were all either Protestant or Catholic….
The irony here is that Trump and the Republicans worked really hard to stack the SCOTUS with originalists, because that tends to play well with a conservative Republican agenda.
But it also upholds the Insurrection Act. Remember that SCOTUS may be conservative, but they’re not all Republican lackeys. In order to decree this unconstitutional, SCOTUS would have to make a majority decision that what Trump did doesn’t fall under insurrection. I can see them wanting to stay out of THAT one completely, refusing to make a finding that would create SCOTUS precedent; that means they would leave these decisions in place in order to preserve future flexibility.
First Past the Post ensures that, to prevent a party from winning, the only option that’s effective is to vote for the party that stands for as much the opposite platform as possible, and it favors the incumbents.
This means that in the US system, it will always be one of the two parties that wins, instead of people being able to vote for the representatives they actually want to represent them or for the policies they actually want to see put into action.
There’s no way to say “whoever wins, I don’t want X to win” or “moderate politician that everyone sort of likes is my first vote, but if he doesn’t get enough votes, I’d prefer the Democrat to win instead of the Republican.”
Because of this, saying “no” to the Democrats supporting the war on Palestine is saying “yes” to the war on women’s rights, for example.
But wait… didn’t China say the re-education camps were a hoax, that Muslims have the same rights as everyone else in China, and that any issues they’d been having had already been resolved?
