void

Trump was elected into the office by 31% of eligible voters, but he is still being supported by more than 31% of the population.

It is pretty difficult to hire good talents.

As Rupert Murdoch TV hammers away telling its viewers that Canadians are their enemies, Republican views of Canada shift on cue. At this point, Murdoch's propaganda machine can make its viewership believe absolutely anything, no matter how absurd.

Does not seem like the US folks are really unhappy with the last few weeks.

IDK, they elected Trump twice on fair elections with all the democratic institutions in place. And continue doing nothing about that, and live in the US as if it is OK.

Previously there was also more than 1 threshold. I think you are talking about plans of some EU members to get around Orban. But I do not think it was implemented (due to the reason I mentioned above). If it was implemented, it would've been huge enough to reach me as news, I think :)

The problem is that it requires an unanimous vote to get rid of the unanimous voting. And, e.g., Hungary/Orban would never vote to lose such power over the EU.

I wish.

Accepting a new member still requires the unanimous vote. Even to **start** negotiations (after which it will be a long path) there needs to unanimous vote, that caused a lot of problems to potential candidates.

Do you think, e.g., Hungary will vote "yes"? And this is just one of a hundred issues :)

Joining the EU takes decades, now. You may start the process, but it won't finish anytime soon. Especially for a country that already left the EU -- I imagine there will be extra checks.

The only serious reason why I would consider UK an actually bad place is the popularity of Reform.

In Russia I had a similar situation with Putin loyalists. I gave offered them grace over and over again. And ultimately they were becoming only more radically imperialistic and more. This is does not work.

When somebody wants to convert to your side: give grace, yes. Otherwise shame them!

It's like an actual pure evil... That currently has their guy as the POTUS.

~31% of people eligible to vote.

Could you please ask the author: "reportedly" -- who is reporting that?

LLMs are just a tool.

Trump being elected as POTUS made things catastrophically worse.

You can, if you enforce the rules.

There is a trade off between meeting public demands and not undermining future prosecutions.

In 2025:
* The case was closed (which reduces the undermining). Appeals were also rejected, BTW.
* Public demand was much higher higher. So much so, that it resulted in EFTA, that gave legal basis.

I kinda already responded to this here:

If there is strong evidence that DOJ isn't doing their job, then yes, it is POTUS's responsibility to fix that.

But again, the "sweetheart deal" happened long before Biden. Why exactly Biden was supposed to conclude that DOJ isn't doing it's job?

But EVEN IF you are correct and POTUS should not lead. It does not change the fact, that prosecution is the purview of DOJ, not POTUS.

Can you stop ad hominem and start with actual factual argumentation?

Yes, the role of POTUS is to represent the US on the world stage. And yes, you be successful at the world stage, you sometimes need to lead the international community. And especially when Russian invades Ukraine.

1.

Prosecution is not POTUS's job. POTUS's job is to handle COVID, stimulate the economy in COVID aftermath, lead the World to support Ukraine and so on.

Prosecution is DOJ's job.

2.

The "sweetheart deal" happened long before Biden.

Doing what?

Biden was a committed liberal president. Such a person would not be micromanaging DOJ's business, and would not abuse his power to look for dirt on the opponents. Instead they would do what POTUS is supposed to do!

But if you do have evidences to back your position, please share.

Are there any direct evidences that Biden even seen the content of the files (when he was POTUS)? Or this is just speculation?

Are there any direct evidences that Biden covered for MAGA crimes? Or this is just speculation?

Just open the definition of "liberalism", and find me a single developed western country that is not liberal (except Hungrary, although it is not very developed and not very western). Everybody is a liberal democracy or another liberal form of government.

Liberalism was the status quo across almost all developed countries for a loong time. So yeah, in the world, liberalism is generally rightfully considered centrism.

The fact that the US thinks liberalism is a leftie thing -- is just unbelievable ignorance of the US folks.
