Why are you posting an insult to the President of the United States of America? May I ask how the American President effects your life personally? What personal stake you have in who the President of the USA is, to such a degree it seems that you post insult after insult? You did not have anything to say in your post other then an insult at the President, and an evident disagreement with the way our Republic functions. The popular vote is not how we elect Presidents. So please tell me why you think that is of importance to you. Do you have a better political system where you hail from? If so please do tell me about it. Perhaps I will begin to see your point of view and I will tell all of my fellow Americans all about it. Perhaps we will find your idea enlightening and the word will spread into a nationwide movement for a new Amendment to our constitution to change our electoral system to one of your liking.

Trump only went to the funeral because he feel he has to, she went to Trumps inauguration in 2017. Trump hated her and everything she stands for. The republicans are HAPPY she died at this moment because Trump gets to now ram through a new supreme court justice in the greatest act of hypocrisy imaginable. When the last SCOTUS judge died 8 months before the 2016 election Republican senate blocked Obama picking a new one because "it was an election year". Now it is 2 months and it is OK Trump did not go to Rep. John Lewis funeral, despite all other living presidents attending except Carter ( too old and frail to travel during covid) recently because Lewis snubbed his inauguration and Trump completely disparaged him. Trump wasn't impressed. Trump will only be re-elected now because he will now select RBGs replacement, a right-wing ideologue and political activist who will legislate from the bench. The election will be decided by a stacked bench of 6-3. Millions of people will lose basic rights. A disaster for LGBTq and women is coming to US either way. The impolite people--there is a lot of anger against Trump, 200,000 dead and climbing and Trump is about to be re-elected again although he will lose the popular vote by millions and millions , AGAIN.

Blessed with such a solid foundational document inspired by great wisdom, that is what is going to happen. Exactly. No one doubts. Donald Trump does not blame minorities, he has lifted them. Unlike his Conservative predecessors he is gaining black and Latino voters.

He had an army of violent supporters who rioted and burned the streets of Germany prior to his taking power. He was anti Jewish and had strong anti-jewish supporters as his followers, he was not one who had Jews within his own family or who was friendly to aspirations of Jews. He was supported by the Arabs of Palestine at the time. Hitler was certainly not a victim of the bureaucracy of Germany, on the contrary he controlled it, as well as controlled the Press. All of it. If we are to make comparisons Hitler, say about 1936, I would look at the rise of a totalitarian power in this world, one in which has begun to make claims of vast swaths of territory which has been rejected by international law, one which is building its military steadily, and threatening its neighbours on several of its borders. One which just like Germany or Imperial Japan only contained one Party, and appears more militaristic by day. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire argument about the Supreme Court seems to come down to one issue alone: The potential that a Supreme Court leaning conservative may overturn ROE V WADE. I am of the belief that even a very conservative court would not do that, but that they may limit the scope of ROE. But that is not what the Democrats or even some Republicans believe. Either way I do suppose it comes down to decency as the issue. Some believe that it is not decent to abort children. The reality of which are primarily black and brown children. While others believe this is a decent thing to do. All a matter of ones view of morality I suppose I am not going to attempt to debate one side or the other but the poster is correct. It does come down to decency in that regard. As for the mechanics of it all, the Constitution of the USA is quite clear the President submits his nominee and the Senate can consent or not consent. Lucky for Donald J Trump the party that holds the Senate at this time - happens to be his own. The decent thing for them to do is to approve the President's pick as they are holding their office because their conservative constituents put them there to do precisely that. To do otherwise would be a violation of the trust of the voters who put them in office and definitely not a decent thing to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
