This is a fair reminder that context matters. While media criticism is valid, we also have to be honest about the breadth of coverage. It’s not always about absence, it’s about how we interpret presence. Appreciate the nuance here.

Appreciate your perspective, Ron. The erosion of democracy rarely comes from just one direction, it’s often a convergence of top-down influence and bottom-up complacency. Recognizing all threats, including institutionalized corruption, is key if we want to move toward meaningful change.

You are welcome...

Power consolidated through force rarely leads to lasting dominance. True strength comes from innovation, diplomacy, and respect, not just holding all the cards. History shows us that.

When political favors intersect with opaque crypto dealings and foreign interests, it’s not just corruption, it’s a threat to transparency and national integrity. This goes far beyond mere politics.

Efficiency shouldn’t come at the cost of people’s livelihoods and public service stability. True leadership balances innovation with responsibility, something that seems lost in the chaos Musk’s DOGE has created.

Long bills packed with hidden cuts aren’t governance, they’re a way to push agendas without accountability. Transparency is the foundation of trust, and this tactic only deepens public distrust.

When both parties get bought by Big Money, real reform dies. Insider gains and corporate cash are hollowing out trust democracy needs transparency, not more legalized corruption.

Using insider info to profit while serving the public is the definition of legalized corruption. Trust in leadership depends on transparency and accountability, anything less erodes democracy.

Can Trump serve a third term as US president? Donald Trump says "a lot of people want me to do it" and supporters claim there's a loophole to the two-term constitutional limit.

🇺🇸 I'm surprised to see a republican #US president talking or joking about a third term. Wouldn't the necessary constitutional change directly challenge the #conservative principles of their voter base?

Isn't this something #democrats & #republicans would agree on? 🤷
