Not to take anything away from Mr. King, who presents a reasonable question...

But the answer is ironically right in the graphic. The Confederate flag, a symbol of traitors to the US, because they DO NOT believe in the equality of all men... is fully aligned with MAGA-ism.

Sad. But true.

Yep. And, a timely reminder, Republicans have fought to keep the ERA, The Equal Rights Amendment from becoming LAW in the US for over half a century.

Another absolute tragic defeat for America. The culture wars have achieved absolute absurdism. We have veterans voting for Trump because he cosplays 'toughness' while he guts Veteran's services in favor of his billionaire golf buddies.

Yet, under the banner of "Owning the Libs" his support remains.

As the dynamic duo of Trump and Putin try heartily to weaken NATO and the EU, it is going quite poorly. NEVER has there been a willingness to strengthen and empower the EU to act like the leader of the free world that it is. I, for one, am enjoying watching history being made. Go Europe.

There's no such thing as a coincidence between these horrible economic reports and the giant distraction that is the cruel Iranian War. Shifting focus is every politician's game, but Trump seems to make it a daily occurance.

Cue camera to the woman pilot who parachuted without trouble in Kuwait. It goes without saying Stephen Miller is a complete moron.

I'll say it again, if the Republican Party didn't have abject hypocrisy as its intellectual foundation, they'd have no intellectual foundation at all.

A very fair point. But isn't the EU looking into ending the veto power of countries that represent a very small percent of the larger voting bloc?

Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

There are lots of mini revolutions going on now that Trump has decided HE doesn't want to play nice with... anyone.

But this one is a bit outside politics yet is equally important. The major players in today's tech, are parasites.

I had a delivery job in NYC at the time she broke. WBLS was the station to hear all the Dance / Funk sound that dominated 'black radio'. When she broke, everyone could hear that she had an ear for pop hooks that was pure gold. The releases came fast and furious... Everybody, Holiday, Borderline...

There's not even a veneer of intelligence in the Republican Party. It's proven willing to be the party of stupid.

Mamdani, who I totally support, needs to consider the long game of ICE completely ignoring this ruling. They have no regard of the Rule of Law. We know this. What will NYC Police do when ICE acts lawlessly?

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

The core problem is that EVERY high schooler in the nation should know the answer to this question.

They don't.

The grotesquely bad education our citizens receive allows this question to fall away as too complicated for the 'average' person to understand.

This ignorance is our weakness.

If we are to remain a free democracy, these men will eventually come to trial for murder, and accessory to murder.

All you need is one simple act. Watch the SNL skit done when Trump won his first term. Chris Rock and Chapelle observe their white "aware" neighbors 'in shock' that there's so many bigots and racists in the USA.

Union leaders accuse Trump labor department of echoing Nazi rhetoric Labor department rhetoric, such as β€˜One Homeland. One People. One Heritage’, prompt comparisons to Nazi slogan

Congressman Ted Lieu, a former Air Force veteran, issued a stark warning to U.S. military members, that military action against Greenland without explicit congressional authorization would constitute following illegal orders. He reminded service members they swear an oath to the Constitution, not πŸ€‘β€¦
