The whole Maga movement share some common features of communism. Stalin condemned abortion, Mao burn books and raised views at odds with historical events. Communists are also intolerance of dissents.

Don't think it is journalism but an op-ed piece whereby the writer presented very strong and informed opinion for his proposition that Trump is more communist than capitalist in his policies.

Good summation of key events during Trump's Presidency that heightened tension between Iran and US. I would add the killing of top Iranian General Qassem Soleiman and Trump refusal to lift sanctions on medical aids for Iran to adequately respond to the mounting health consequences of Covid-19 as failures by Trump and inflamed Iran's hatred till this day.

Feds have been investigating hate crimes and sure this no exception. Meanwhile hate crimes law increasing penalties for some crimes fuel by race, gender or sexual orientation are running out of time to get what could be a decisive vote in South Carolina. Republican Senate Majority leader Shane Massey simply said “ don’t hold your breathe”. https://www.timesofisrael.com/fbi-director-says-probes-of-anti-jewish-hate-crimes-tripled-in-months-after-oct-7/

Biden didn't start any war and US economy is simply great and powering the world.

David DePape believed with every ounce of his body that he was taking action to stop the abuse of children by politicians. Got to say that he attacked the wrong person. There are many among the Republican politicians who abused children including their leader who is legally a sexual predator.

I believe that Biden will not go for the election re-run if Trump didn't announce his candidacy. Trump make it official to run in November '22 and Biden in April '23. Biden being the incumbent and has beatened Trump before will obviously be the best choice to face Trump again. There is little enthusiam for Biden in this coming election but the disgust and hate for Trump will put Biden in a much more favourable position in November.

And it's only June. His rallies are now his liabilities as his cognitive decline is on full display.

Trump’s foreign policy is binary - personal gain.

By nature, I am pragmatic not use to loose talk. As such, I replied to your posting. Will decide as when Sir Rod made another statement.

He is a Trump apologist and a Putin admirer. Don't think RS like his 'fags"joke.

Don't think he "hang out" like buddies. Fact of the matter, they hate each other. Trudeau just doing his official duties meeting Trump and in IMHO always try to avoid Trump. He was caught laughing at Trump in the company of other G7 allies.

Canada don't have a President. How is that similar to USA.

Superstars like Rod Stewart voicing their opinion on social and political issues is nothing new. They have a big microphone and an enormous influence on the subjects that they support. I applaud Rod Stewart for his courage to speak out on his moral duty to support Ukraine against Russia aggression.

Those Republicans especially nut-case MTG should now re-direct their false pedophilla claims to attack Democrats and LGBTQ to their own people. GOP now has many more notable and recent scandals involcing sexual abuse of minors and young students, Names like Florida Rep. Mark Foley, Rep Dennis Hastert, Roy Moore, Matt Gaetz and leader of the sex scandal Donald J Trump who boasted that he walked into backstage dressing rooms in the 1997 Miss Teens USA pageant as they were changing and allegedly said "Don't worry ladies, I've seen it all before".

It must be awfully hard for Dr Fauci to resist the temptation to not call Trump an idiot, moron, intellectually handicap and buffon in his book.

Tedious to repeat basic run-of-the-mill information . Will made an exception. Vaccines do not entirely protect everyone from being infected with Covid-19. It protect you from getting seriously ill.

Retail sales rose less than expected in May increasing by 0.1% v 0.2%. Offers an insight into the weakening of consumer spending and slowing economy which will prompt Federal Reserve to begin lowering interest rate in September. Baht will gain with the anticpated rate cut.

He is making the right pitch to strengthen democracy. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/29/politics/biden-second-summit-for-democracy/index.html Meanwhile Trump pour gasoline and lit the fire on democracy. AG Garland has defended voting rights and the GOP doesn't like that and has been trying to attack him which is again dangerous for democracy.

On the contrary, I think it is a briliant strategic move for Biden to make democracy the center of his campaign. For that he didnt have to do much as Trump's incendiary rhetoric that he intend to be a dictator on day one, denying the election result and going after his political enemies make clear that Trump is trying to dismantle democracy. Clear distinction who is for democracy and who has fascist intention. However at the end of the day, it is policies that will likely to determine the election and Biden hold the advantage.

Biden has to run as he is the incumbent. Hillary was a mistake.

His policies are unclear and he is non committal on major issues such as reproductive rights, immigration, gun control and Jan 6

Just curious who is Ronny Johnson, a living man.

Not expecting much decorum in this debate. Trump will go on an unhinged and incoherent tangent while Joe remain calm and collected watching Trump's self destruct. Trump will lie and misrepresent facts as is his normal self and when challenged, he will be defiance as he performed for his base. He will do his weird prancing around the stage and will hump the flag if he see one. The late night comedians will have a field day. Still think he will pull out last minute and claimed some bs reasoning. His advisers will sigh a collective relief.

He easily triggered. Lost cause.
