Religion: Silly nonsense written by silly old men. It only survives by brainwashing small children, some of whom lack the skill and spine to discard the absurd waffle about talking snakes and the earth being created before the sun.

You are plainly unable to understand.

To whom do I send the invoice for my time? Or, you could stop being lazy and establish the facts yourself. Anyway, start here: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/emoluments-clauses-explained

Tariffs are a disaster. If they were so wonderful, why is it that no other country, post-war, has ever had such tariffs? I guess Trump knows more about economics than the top guys at reserve banks around the world. BWAHAHAHA! https://www.jpmorganchase.com/institute/all-topics/business-growth-and-entrepreneurship/tracking-international-payments-middle-market-firms-adapt-to-tariffs

Convictions are not all one and the same. Yes, Trump was found guilty of minor fraud. He's been doing petty theft and fraud all his life. But I am talking about something else, as my opening post said. Trump sells legislation for personal profit. He takes money from other countries in exchange for providing benefits. This is a violation of the constitution. In every other Western democracy, this would result in immediate loss of position and a federal prosecution. That is the contrast.

The question was of course either stupid or a joke. What crime A M-W committed can only be stated after a conviction.

I agree with this. I was living in NY when a remarkable thing happened - billionaire Leona Helmsley was jailed. My view at the time was that she was not jailed for tax evasion (which was the charge), but for a crime that truly horrified the ruling class - letting the cat out of the bag. She had publicly announced that "Only the little people pay taxes". Criminal!

I agree with you. But it is fact that Trump has received many and varied financial gifts, benefits etc. These are illegal. That is fact. In the UK, action is taken, even against the highest-placed individuals The US is presently so corrupt that gross and numerous constitutional violations are ignored. What a contrast!

In the UK, a monarchy, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested for illegal conduct. In the US, the President has violated the constitution many, many times. The Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9, Clause 8) prohibits any person holding office from accepting gifts, titles, or emoluments from foreign states without Congressional consent. No action is taken. What a contrast!

You are of course correct. Telling someone "to leave after repeatedly being told to get out of the car" is a capital offense. Every law-abiding MAGA knows that.

You are not following. High medical costs benefit the corporations and execs in that domain. Example for review: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnitedHealth_Group The US is unique in the West in that it allows the rampant profiteering by cartels and monopolies, to the detriment of citizens. Medicine is one such domain - there are many others. Example: School sports were once run to benefit students. Now they are run to profit private equity. https://www.levernews.com/wall-street-is-paywalling-your-kids-sports/ Education in other Western countries is designed to benefit the students and society - who doesn't want a smarter population? Answer: American plutocrats. For-profit institutions ruin the finances of students for decades, and enrich a subset of the ultra-wealthy. https://protectborrowers.org/the-web-of-players-and-practices-allowing-predatory-for-profit-schools-to-flourish/

You don't understand. The US medical system is deliberately overpriced and extortionate in order to benefit the wealthy. No other Western country does that. In other countries, people evaluate the evidence and change their minds when required. MAGA-types are bigots who just repeat their silly dogma and get angry when they are shown to be wrong.

In every other Western country, the purpose of legislation and policy is to benefit society. In the US (where I lived for some years) the purpose of legislation and policy is to benefit corporations and magnates. In order to achieve that, corporations and magnates and their servants (congressmen and senators) have degraded education and created false threats and bogey-men. The money pours in for the ultra-wealthy and they laugh themselves sick at the MAGA boneheads.

Not quite... DT's exact words were, "I have concepts of a plan" [for healthcare].

You just don't want to understand the facts. The US is THE extreme outlier in guns, mass shootings, gun murders etc. You could: - Review and evaluate the facts OR - Cherry-pick and seek out bogus "authorities" who tell you what you want to hear If the truth interests you (and, given that you are plainly just another white right-wing bigot, it won't) start here: https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/national-institute-justice-funded-research-amasses-details-half-century-united-states-mass https://rockinst.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10-24-19-Deconstructing-Mass-Shootings-Brief-1.pdf

What gibberish is this? - Are you seriously expecting govt policy to be 100% effective all of the time? Grow up. - There are are approx 145 gun deaths/million n the US, vs 9/million in Australia. This "good guy with a gun" bs is very plainly the cause of many people losing their lives.

Which is more likely to result in slaughter - insane gun policies such as we see in the US, or immigrants (and don't forget the enormous benefits that Australia gained from the Greeks, Italians, Poles, Vietnamese etc)? What is dangerous to any society is not immigration, but militant religion - for all of recorded history.

For a legit, expert massage, Poo Na.... Soi Buakhao, just inside from Pattaya Klang.

It is NOT "ridiculous hearsay"... I have experienced it myself and I did indeed head for the door.

What is wrong with people? Just say NO.... boycott venues with this nonsense policy, and they will soon change their wicked ways.

So many Indian restaurants in Pattaya have plainly fake reviews. Sad but true,

All we can conclude is that the files have been scrubbed of any mention of Trump. They are therefore safe to release. From an online newsletter: Then it came out that Bondi had told Trump his name was in the files and had ordered a top-to-bottom review of the files, pulling some 1,000 FBI agents over to flag and record any mention of Trump. When asked by Congress about this effort, both Bondi and Patel grew defensive and combative and refused to provide details or confirmations of what they knew. The above is documented fact. You can verify that it is true.
