As for the US compromise is not in sight
Guess it's like the old Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times

long live the wisdom of the fathers of the constitution... /s/
and there is no way to get rid of that one -

To be more precise: everybody gets the government made possible by all the people who decide not to vote
And half (or more) of the voting populace voting for right wing ideologies. At least that has been the trend for the last 10 to 15 years worldwide...

11 hours ago, gowlerk said:There is truth in that. When you get down to it about a third of the people will be voting for Trump. The other 2/3 s can stop him if they can be bothered to.
And that holds true to any other country dealing or suffering from rightwing parties and governments. Which leads me to the thought that the American model of democracy is quite a success

Had to recheck that one - these pictures are very similar if not the same as the nazi rallies in germany and austria
I really didn't know about that

Not to that extent....

Even if is "old news" it is fairly unresting regarding the latets nazi-spouts from trump - after all it's not the third world but gods own home of the free
what I lack in a greater perspective is the inability of the liberal or the left (or any other non right wing group) to team up to develop a clear vision of what the world should be like aka long term planning. that is (at least imho) the most depressing part
-
Just stumbled over project 2025, the blueprint for a fascist takeover aka what Republicans would want to happen if the next POTUS should be Trump. More than scary, as the plans are out in the open
Haven't read anything on it in here though...

From an interview:
Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country.
A tagline for white supremacists going back at least 200 years - the evil darkies poisoning our pure blood.
Reminds me of this

Does that mean that Karma is a bitch?

But I doubt his ex law-monger has any substantial assets with Trump being know not to pay Bills....

This thread has been going for three years now. What is puzzling is the fact, that apart from his enablers getting verdicts and having to face some serious consequences, the main goon has still managed to escape all efforts to dish out a vital conviction that Puts him into the place any normal joe blow would have been in no time
