Why am I part of the problem?
You’re right. I admit it. All of Europe speaks English because they were once part of the British empire. You got me. Sorry to try to add nuance to your prejudice.

I get that this might be fun for you but a lot of the America First bullshit comes from identifying with the British Empire.
Also, most people in any country see their country as the best. That’s only natural.
Regardless, the US is an economic behemoth and that is a reason to be proud (until now)

Well yes. But also because the US economy is large and dominant.

OMG

My imagination is going crazy thinking about its rear air hole…

…and the determination of the new ICE agents.

Is she a mortal?

Tens of billions is a drop in the bucket of what the Trump family will skim off the top of the US economy.
(It’s the least of our worries)

This is why the authoritarianism has ramped up so quickly.

When Stephen Miller has his armed forces everywhere, it won’t matter.

I’m as liberal as you are (I’m pretty sure) but there’s a reason that most of the world speaks English as a second language.

Granted, it allows US to be stupider than most of them.

Paramount buys The Free Press ushering in a new era at CBS…

Unfortunately, CBS used to be the most trusted name in TV journalism.

It’s a new era alright!

That’s ridiculous!!!

That’s like saying Trump can’t tell the Supreme Court how to rule on cases before them.

Don’t worry…Trump has assured them that she will not turn over their names.

Don’t worry everyone! They consulted Trump before making their decision.

They used to call this Civil War.

I guess some of US (blue state governors?) are falling behind.

Maybe they should be protecting federal buildings then…

In a court of law, if you are caught in a lie, your testimony is ALL invalid.

When will Republicans realize that their politicians are lying to them?

Get a little cynicism folks!

I love it when people are so confident in their views that they don’t allow responses…

I hope they don’t make their next logical announcement that “Trump is God.”

“pretense democracy”

I hear what you’re saying but …let’s not go there.
That’s why I can’t watch the news; why aren’t they all screaming ”FIRE!”

It’s hard for me to believe that so many Americans can just throw away democracy so easily.

But I can see it…so I believe it.

A states class action against the federal government to force Feds to go to court and prove the “crisis,” BEFORE the National Guards can be federalized.

All this happening while we know that all of major media has already been compromised.

The authoritarian crackdown has happened sooner than I expected.
They have been pretending it was about illegal immigrants until now.
Now, it’s anyone near a fascist op.

They do if they want revenge.

It didn’t.

The United States is a financial powerhouse. The resources alone would make any oligarch a happy man.
(They don’t care about crime, drugs, etc. in fact, they want and need them for their Russia-like prison that they are building here.

Yeah, agreed.
I’m an introvert so I love more (distant) human interaction.
But the bots, and lack of trust as a result, is killing any chance at a wider circle of intellectual curiosity.
It suits the authoritarian purpose.

Authoritarianism does not equal imperialism…but I do see your point.

Or worse; go back to intermingling and talking to other people…
