You people need to get a grip.  Stop whining, be men, and stand up for what you believe in instead of rolling over with grief.

Jesus, if all of you were in charge during WW ll we'd all be kissing jackboots right now.

A great leader unites, a damaging one divides.  A Trump / Biden ticket would be devastating.  

People need to come together and treat each other with respect. Conflicts should be resolved through dialogue.  Freedoms are of utmost importance and ought to be upheld.


I'm on the ledge about this.Ouch

As much as I want to see Drump never run for Prez again, because of permanent damage he can do to human race and democracy, I can't help but think that he's only the second US Prez since WW2 (Jimmy Carter was the other one) not to have sent troops out on some battleground on the planet. Maybe the only positive point of those 4 years. But I also have no doubt that be's used his presidency to make deals with enemies (as if Saudi Arabia was a friend).


As for (Forb)Biden, he could only be a better choice than Dump both on the internal home-front and on the international planetary front. At least, that's what I thought at election time. But he's turned out to be quite the arsehole himself Dead (and he's not preparing the future class of/for the Democrats either, from what I can see from across the pond), not only reinforcing  protectionism, but also forcing US arms sales around the planet - and fomenting trouble in Taïwan and Ukraine - via the toxic NATO, at the expense of his "allies" (the Australian submarines issue). It might appear that the Dems are "safer" than Reps, but on the whole, the Dems are just as much (if not more) warmongers than their best ennemyNuke. The choice between a pachyderm and a donkey (an arse, if you wish) is like choosing the hammer or the anvil.

Let's face, the renewal of democray will start by annilihating both the red & blue, before starting others. However, given the numbers of radicalized idiots (Qanon & religious zealots), things will probably be worse A Third Way was Blair's moto, but that turned out to be a spoof.

Maybe having a real left-wing party in the US could appear to be a solution, but that sounds so much anti- "The American Way", that it's bound to be an aborted or deadborn baby. And should it actually see life, religious zealot will euthanize it.

Difficult to argue... until 2016, I still had hopes for the planet and species (not just humans), but nowadays I'm wondering if we should not blow up the planet before arseholes like Bezos, Musk or Branson carry the human disease on other planets (like Putin or Chinese will also). Humankind has become a real pandemic threat for the solar system and galaxy... We're somewhere between the plague or cholera.

I'm not sure I want to witness the next few decades.

When did "future" stop being synonym of hopes and promisesSmile to become fear and gloomOuch??

Okay this is getting interesting---  Trump has now technically committed all kinds of Espionage Act crimes.   What his intentions were is unknown but this is espionage.

We certainly have all the nuclear tools to make it quick and dirty. Confused the MO has been around since Hiroshima but the finger has yet to press the trigger. Time for direct democracy , like Athens, and Switzerland, where the people vote and NOT the 'elected' representatives, who lets face it , are not our best and brightest....

This.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

He's going to jail.   Okay he might not actually go to jail but he will have to pay one way or another.  Remember almost every key player in Watergate went to prison, and this is far worse.

Probably not.  He is the Teflon Don.  It is ironic though, that he signed a law to make it a felony for a government employee to take secure documents outside of government offices.  His goal was to lock Hillary up, but it would be ironic if he were to be the one to be locked up under this rule.

Washington Post reports that the FBI was searching for classified nuclear weapon documents.  Sounds like the kind of thing that Trump might get $2 billion from the Saudis for?

I wonder if Trump runs as a result of this, or in spite of this... I wonder what happens in the mid-terms, and who runs in 2024, which seems uncertain. I'm happy as long as the truth comes out, but all the celebration is adding gasoline to the fire. I know the DOJ is supposed to be apolitical, but they say the same thing about the Supreme Court.... Overturning of Roe was supposed to get Democrats out, and now this event will get Republicans out, and this seems to be the strategy -- little on policy, and more about the existential danger of the other side. It's very, very likely the Republicans take back at least the House, and possibly the Senate. Don't you think they're going to do the impeachment thing (no conviction), Hunter, etc etc? This is becoming The National Enquirer, but this isn't a joke. People are dying -- war, homicides, suicides -- more American soldiers die from suicide than in combat. I read a lot of disheartening stories of "deaths of despair" for people under 50... And to hear adults I've known for years online (but in real life, too) who celebrate our own country's downfalls, because it might help "their" side, as if viruses, poverty, etc., only effects one side. And people complain that it's the other side's fault for everything.

This can't go on... It's more than just tit-for-tat, because I see the hatred people have, and the amount of people who will go above and beyond a simple protest. Add that with inflation and violence, people on edge, being shot in schools (obviously not now in summer).

Maybe we don't have much power, but try to put yourself in other people's shoes... just for a second. Try to get along with people.. In the last few weeks, there's been "race issues" on my street (between the neighbors across the street vs. the neighbors next door), police have been here at least four times, including today. Multiple gun shots on two occasions. No deaths, fortunately. Lots of flags and signs on many lawns (not mine), and all I can do right now (after a long pause) is shake my head. I actually posted that story on other message boards - handfuls of them - and it's sad to see other people say the same stories, or how someone they knew was shot and killed.

They are outraged, of course, by this highly unusual raid, which they have criticized as politicized act that must be looked in to. The outraged Republicans will look into this to see what the DOJ and FBI have done wrong. Bring in Garland to be questioned. They do not care whether it was justified or not. They just want to appear outraged enough for Trump and his supporters.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think he's going to be too busy dealing with lawyers and going to court to run for president. We'll see.
