We really don't need foreign apologists for American corporate war bullshit. We got plenty of them right here at home.

You can rely on the same Americans to "get involved" in your country if you ever have a civil war.

I think Trump is guilty of this crime.
The only real crime that matters is the crime of being a threat to Democrats.

Both of my special-ed co teachers are Irish. I absolutely love them.
In one of the classes, he and I love to watch clips of the Irish meps of the EU parliament (Daly and Wallace) utterly trash the American neo cons and neo libs especially over the Ukraine bullshit.

The biggest thing I changed my mind about was that either American political party uniquely stands for any issue. I now realize both parties at different times will endorse or deny the same policies, meaning they are essentially a unified party playing good cop bad cop on the American public.

What I find funny is the internal battle of the Smart Democrats trying to convince the Stupid Democrats that making Trump a Martyr isn't good for the country, but you can see how that goes.

Like I said, there are solid reasons why this has dragged on for 7 years. Ignoring those reasons does not prove what a smart guy you are.

So when the government convicts a Mafia boss by flipping a lower level gangster, one who is a murderer even, those convictions are not credible
2 words. Corroborating evidence.

@n8nrgim
The context of the case is this:
1) All the DA has for evidence at the moment is the word of a convicted Felon.
2) Trump claims if he is forced to go to court that he has the documents to prove the hush money came from his own funds.
This is the main reason why nothing has happened about this in 7 years.

The BBC are simply PR firms who push rubbish government policies, create stories to insinuate, incite, to pop ideas into people's heads. Take for instance, BBC reports over Hong Kong 2019 riots, they were largely based on zero facts from the ground, were largely one sided, biased, even to this day, the BBC still calls those responsible for extreme violence in Hong Kong 2019 riots as peaceful ‘pro-democracy’ protesters, despite their actions in Hong Kong during 2019 contradict everything that is democracy.
- The Pro-Independence HK protesters, denied other Hong Kong people the freedom to voice their opposition to them, resulting in many brawls in the streets on Hong Kong, which many innocent Hong Kong people were viciously attacked by these violent groups who were obviously backed by the US government via National Endowment For Democracy.
- Anyone who didn't show their support, were verbally, physically attacked by these violent groups in HK.
- They set a man on fire in broad daylight
- They also killed a old street cleaner on his lunch break simply for just filming them
- They harass any journalist who is filming them committing any crimes, who isn't within their own group.
- They threw petrol bombs at HK police stations all around Hong Kong
- They trashed & vandalized many shops, stores
- They intimidated many innocent people & businesses
- They viciously attacked any vehicle drivers at road blocks who challenged them
- They try to use a suicide of a young teen as their excuse for HK police brutality when there was no connection at all
- They all completely ignore the fact the extradition Bill was all because of a murder in Taiwan by a Hong Kong Citizen, so they're all protecting this criminal from facing charges in Taiwan
- They violently attack HK police officers & even tried on several occasions to snatch their guns from them
- They create fake stories about deaths at HK MTR, which can easily be proven as a blatant lie by those Pro-independence extremists.
- A HK police officer even had his finger bitten off & would require life time of medication due to this serious injury
- One of their 5 demands was to allow unconditional release of all extremists who were arrested for breaking HK Basic Laws. Which in any other country would be seen as absurd, yet not so for the BBC. Simply because its serves BBC’s agenda against China, which just so happens to fall in line with current UK China policy. Coincidence or blind luck? I think not. Anyone who knows foreign policy, knows that the UK always almost all the time follows US foreign policy like a dog. I have nothing against British people, it's the crony govt, their crony media which I hate, including the crony propaganda machines of America.

About half of the country was exposed to Covid or a variant both symptomatic and asymptomatic despite being mostly vaccinated. While asymptomatic infection rates went up among the vaccinated, asymptomatic transmission also went up. None of the vaccine companies are saying it prevents transmission to any effective degree anymore. Its known that the average adult gets some form of the flu twice a decade.
Source Which corroborates the estimates of the Covid spread.
There's tons of articles out there showing how asymptomatic vaccinated nurses went around and still spread covid around the hospital.
Asking healthy people to take a vaccine to protect the sick and elderly is like asking car drivers to wear a helmet to protect bicyclists.
Try to pay attention.

if you want someone credible to back up my arguments, notice that orogami said he agreed with my healthcare proposal
Credibility isn't dependent on agreeableness. Oro has a terrible tunnel problem with trusting established authority even when it's clear the system they are in charge of is broken and has been for multiple decades. You should never trust the same people that broke something to provide a credible solution.
i think most people would agree that there should be more competition with hospitals, and start allowing doctor owned hospitals
AMA lobby will never allow this.

I'm not surprised at your healthcare spending if most americans are a bunch of coach potatoes
America has the most overweight people in the world. That is by design to keep poor people fat dumb and happy and the rich richer.

@n8nrgim
just being probably overly blunt.
Well you are just as wrong about that as your sophomoric take on economics.
You claim America has a problem funding healthcare at levels similar to other developed nations
...we have a meager welfare state compared to other countries...
...but fail to note the massive difference between other types of welfare spending between the USA and those countries, namely in the forms of massive amounts of international and corporate welfare directly driven by political lobby donors. I would advise you to read a lot more than you appear to with your posts. Those 2 things I brought up are massively more economically impactful in the near and far term than "healthcare"
Why do you think those banks just went bankrupt last week in California anyway? It sure as hell wasn't because of healthcare costs....

you always bring up these small fry cost problems.
Currency Inflation is not a "small fry" cost problem as you are about to experience.
Defense spending as a percent of GDP is relatively stable.
Debt to GDP ratio is anything but stable.

There is only one answer to your question. Stop the currency inflation.
healthcare is the only issue that could potentially bankrupt the country,
You clearly are not paying attention to the money spent on the welfare of other countries.

Also, many cases of election fraud that could be scrutinized are regularly thrown out by the courts on the basis of "standing," as low interest or dead people won't care to or cannot file the required legal paperwork. There used to be laws against proxy voting instead of what we have today. Today's legalized ballot harvesting is a direct opposition to the traditional election laws designed to protect the anonymity of the voter.

The last time we attempted pure democracy was in the 1850's with State popular sovereignty dictating the balance of Federal power.
That led to a Civil War.

This is the long answer from the official government website
Delegates from the large states believed that because their states contributed proportionally more to the nation's financial and defensive resources, they should enjoy proportionally greater representation in the Senate as well as in the House. Small-state delegates demanded, with comparable intensity, that all states be equally represented in both houses. When Sherman proposed the compromise, Benjamin Franklin agreed that each state should have an equal vote in the Senate in all matters -- except those involving money.
Over the Fourth of July holiday, delegates worked out a compromise plan that sidetracked Franklin's proposal. On July 16, the convention adopted the Great Compromise by a heart-stopping margin of one vote. As the 1987 celebrants duly noted, without that vote, there would likely have been no Constitution, or nation.
The short answer is that a "might makes right" democracy allows for no diversity of thought.
