......... the professional ........... ... the rest ..................potential political decision

there's a better than even chance this guy will walk. In theory his case would become part of the Presidential Pardon for those participating in the Jan 6, Capitol. He has claimed that his motive was intended to be a protest against the fake election.

....................corruption has always been a perennial problem in U.S. politics. Generally speaking, it's normalized largely because "what goes around comes around'

......hateful? How about naive ......... just like most countries operating under a Democratic government.............. and that most definitely includes Constitutional democracies. Hilarious to think of those subscribing to more political parties.......... Promise them the moon, lie, provide wedge issues ............ VICTORY, baby! Suppose that is one advantage of a totalitarian Gov. ................ the truth is ya can't eat freedom.

...........not saying tariffs are a poor strategy ..... what I am condemning is how they're being applied with such a broad and impulsive brush. Whack a doodle.

.............the majority of births in the U.S. were of 'color'. Do the math.

RE: Trump can't run again? Of course that is not to say he can't be President again? ..... I'm a bit draconian in wanting to see the strategy .......... but it could happen.

Cackles had baggage problems.

One thing is for certain ............. science and by extension technology cannot be controlled.........fission / fusion weapons are prime but dated examples. Those that developed those weapons weren't so much patriots as they were scientists trying to prove a point .......... to be FIRST. Someone once said, 'what is possible is done, what is impossible, will be done'. What is somewhat alarming is that some countries during this natural development will have no safeguards ...Democracies will make political and partisan arguments like they always do in pursuit of power. Advantage? Those that have no control or moral restraints.

Politics is the art or science concerned with winning and holding control over a government? There is no right or wrong way to do this .......... there is only a 'winning' way. To pursue an agenda that is obviously failing and attempting to pi$$ down the electorates back and telling them it's rainfall is a failing strategy. The objective re: Venezuela is regime change ............ nothing wrong with that .......... ......... don't pi$$ down the people's back with this foolish drug interdiction argument. It's getting foolish....... foolish on steroids. ..........REALLy? For drug interdiction on swift boats? Coast Guard has been doing this for ........EVER ...... and more effectively. It is the losing political arguments that should be a concern - they are stupid and definitely not effective. A few facts ..... Fentanyl is up to 40 times more potent than heroin and roughly 100 times more potent than morphine. Almost all (96%) was intercepted at the south-west border with Mexico The claim that Venezuela is producing or shipping fentanyl into the U.S. is central to recent U.S. rhetoric, but independent analyses and watchdogs say there is no proof that fentanyl is being manufactured or trafficked from Venezuela or broadly from South America

dude, your rhetoric is more of a disappointment than an unsalted pretzel.

ah, let me think............ YES!

.......... gotcha talking points?? U.S. troops fought in Iraq for eight years, before eventually withdrawing in 2011. the phrase "Mission Accomplished" is used to refer to the perils of declaring victory too early in crises.

........... compared to .............

The swift boat attacks were without question a success in terms of tactical success. In terms of political gain it's difficult to quantify the degree of failure - amateur hour. WTF is going to be the reaction of these clowns if something affecting real National Security arises.

...................... hubris is a slippery slope that can bite u in the ass!

......... we've got our man!

Donald Trump is 79 y/o ........... old men, encore of Biden .........Reagan. The problem is no one will tell them. More the pity.

2018.

.......... arguably with climatic change nowhere near it's peak and population growth increasing at alarming rates combined with increased longevity, one concern is access to fresh water. Of equal concern is energy. A sobering thought is that there are more people alive on spaceship-earth today than have ever lived. If there is indeed magic, it is the magic that can be produced (grown) with fresh water. It takes quantities that cannot be imagined to provide a country with food security and sustained industry

Canada's head of state, King Charles and Queen Camilla

relax - just trying to scare you - after all, the machine gun was considered a much overrated weapon.

I'm always somewhat surprised Canada has a flag. Justin always thought it was too nationalistic - fascist?

........... has anyone explained the strategy of the 'trade war'? Tariffs are nothing more than a tax on the people - asinine! Any money raised thru tariffs is simply tax collected 'from the people'.

Democracies do not think long-term - elections and partisan politics ensure that. China thinks 'long term', not the royal, 'us'!
