The good news here, if any, is that presidents in Poland do not control foreign policy.

Not at all related. Peaceful protest and political expression for any view is protected by the constitution. Onviously violent domestic terrorism isn't.

Surrender isn't a settlement.

There is no settlement on the table. I don't believe even you believe that.

A "small" movie with big time quality. Set in a lovely area of Arkansas (Hot Springs).

It's kind of hard when your party controls NO branch of government. People from parliamentary system countries might not get that. The democrats in the house for example don't even have the power to get bills open for debate.

The Kremlin propaganda brigade is working overtime on this one. Ukraine -- we knew they had "cards" all along.

You were distracting from the topic. Typical fail.

He wanted to check for gender. What gender was he hoping for? My understanding is that in South Asian cultures transgender prostitutes are very common.

I don't think transgender is a noun.

The "barbarian" I'm worred about is in the oval office and yes he is a rapist.

The bill in congress now DOES cut Medicare. 4 percent every year. Also MASSIVE CUTS to Medicaid which is for the poorest Americans including poor children. With Maga cruelty is the point. As far as SS is concerned, not trying to pass any funding reform measures means it WILL be massively cut automatically for all in as early as 5 years. So why isn't such reform in Trump's big ugly help the billionaires bill? Because he's happy to see SS trashed over time.

You're making a totally DISGUSTING conflation of Israelis and American Jews. Dude -- there are people in the USA who want to kill Jews both from the right and the left. Maga fascists trying to cynically use American Jews in this way is the total opposite of actually wanting to help Jews. Maga fascists are greatly contributing to Jew hatred.

Tariffs can be useful tools when used in limited, rational. and targetted ways. Trump's totally insane, totally unjustified by any economic theory trade war on the entire world including close allies was the opposite of that.

You want American Jews to adapt to having a criminally corrupt God King Dictator as president? Good luck with that. Like I said, not that stupid. American Jews are now and will continue to be among the most passionate and aggressive opponents of American fascism. Not saying they will win though.

American Jews will vote democratic more than ever. DUH! Trump's maga fascist movement is cynically using Jews to blame their assault on the independence of the American academy on trying to prevent antisemitism. Jews are not so stupid as to fall for that trick.

So it was not OK for the democrats to try to cover up Biden's mental decline but it is OK to deny Trump's obvious descent into dementia? Typical HYPOCRISY.

Why are they so ... virile?

Rodriguez is an antisemitic domestic terrorist. In this case he comes from the left. Such scum also comes from the right (reference Pittsburgh synagogue massacre).

The word empire is loaded but on the other hand not totally useless in describing the role of the USA especially since the end of WW2. There are other ways of describing it. For example -- dominant global hegemony. In any case the "American empire" has overall been a positive stability promoting influence while it has lasted. Of course far from perfect but much better than any other available alternative. As far as it's decline, that was already in a slower phase of happening already before the ascension of American autocrat Trump who rejects the role of leader of the free world. What Trump is doing is to GREATLY ACCELERATE that decline. What I consider enemy states such as Iran, North Korea, and Russia, etc. are celebrating that gift that the maga fascist cult has given them. Decent Americans and traditional decent American allies realize that such rapid acceleration was unnecessary and is VERY DANGEOUS. Now for better or worse (worse) everyone in the world is going to have to adjust to this radically different new reality. Especially Americans.

In an ideal world all workers would be paid a living wage by employers. tipping would be illegal and seen as an insult if you even tried, and Jew haters wouldn't be trolling internet forums to spread their disease at every opportunity. But alas. Here we are.

Tipping in Thailand is rather sane. Example -- I regularly tip Grab food delivery drivers 30 baht (not paying attention to percentages) and almost always the drivers express sincere gratitude and sometimes even surprise. That's about one flippin' dollar! If you don't tip at all, no big deal, as it's not really expected or required. Compare to the U.S. where things have really gotten way out of hand. Now we have a new angle. No tax on tips. But the majority of tip earning Americans don't make enough to owe any or much tax already! People are talking about tipping them less now because of the tax break. Which actually makes sense if it's a server at an expensive restaurant. But not for the majority.

The Ukes, huh? Russian Z fascist ideology is that Ukraine does not exist as a separate nation, language, culture, people. etc. But it does exist. Putin's war is about enforcing their genocidal and false ideology.

Trump is president NOW. Not Biden. It's not looking pretty.

I don't want enteric coating.
