  • Now Trump is even begging former allies to help USA in the Hormuz strait. Maybe he should have thought of that, before threatening to invade allied nations, and starting trade wars with everybody, and threatening to abandon NATO, and completely fail to help Ukraine against Russia that is a common enemy to Europe and USA, but not to Trump because Trump is somehow compromised and a traitor to USA and democracy.

    To say Trump has no plan is to put it mildly. Trump had a plan originally, and that plan is so simplistic only a child could conceive it.

    The plan was that Iran should surrender or collapse quickly!

    Yes that’s right, that was the entire plan! As stupid as that sounds. And when that didn’t happen, they were completely unprepared for anything else. Trump had the typical simple minded bully mentality, to sucker-punch Iran, with the expectation that they would give in immediately.

    Instead we are seeing Trump once again dramatically increasing the speed of the demise of the American empire, just as he did with the above mentioned behavior, threatening allies and waging trade wars against everybody.

    As Trump stated: “I guess our relations aren’t what they used to be.”

    Your goddam right they aren’t. And just to be clear to the Americans, this is not just about Trump, it’s the entire administration. And the fact that the American population elected Trump twice, means we don’t trust the population either anymore.

    To say Trump should end the war does nothing. At least not unless he is given some sort of out where he can save face. But that does not appear to be available that I can see. So as a result, he may just as likely try to put boots on the ground. And if he does that, he will 100% sure only embarrass himself and USA further. Because Iran is way way more difficult than Afghanistan, In Afghanistan there was a government somewhat in power that supported the allied forces. AND there were actually allied forces, which there won’t be in Iran. And finally Iran is a 10 times harder nut to crack, because it has more than twice the population and area, and it has way better organized and equipped troops for guerrilla war. With more an better places to hide.


  • Heather Ammel contends in a lawsuit that she and husband Matthew had “a good and loving marriage” and “genuine love and affection”

    That woman Heather Anmel is insane, her husband was unfaithful and that is 100% on him. Sinema never promised to be faithful to a woman she probably never met, but the husband of the crazy wife obviously did.

    blames Sinema for the marriage breakup.

    The marriage probably wasn’t as loving as she thought.

    North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow jilted spouses to sue for “alienation of affection”

    Absolutely insane, a third party that is with someone who is married never promised anything, and hence also didn’t break a promise. It’s insane how people are so dense, and blame anybody else but the person they are married to that actually made a promise. For the state to allow such cases is insane!!!


  • The amendments Negrea presented on 9 March included a demand that the word ‘gender’ in the document’s first paragraph be defined as referring ‘only to men and women on the basis of biological sex, and not to subjective notions of gender identity.’ The European Union, speaking through the Netherlands’ representative, called on all delegations to vote against the entire package of amendments in one bloc. By a recorded vote of 26 in favour to 11 against, with five abstentions, the Commission agreed to treat the amendments as a single package. That package was then rejected: 26 against, 14 abstentions, and only the United States in favour.

    I suspected this was an issue, giving women equal rights is apparently considered a slippery slope, leading to also giving LGBT equal rights. And Jesus clearly doesn’t want that according to insane Christians.
    Good thing they got the resolution passed without discriminating against LGBT.








  • This is what you wrote:

    You can’t get funding for progressive candidates because the system is designed to ensure anyone who would side with workers over the rich can’t win.

    And that is simply not true, Obama was elected by a majority of small donations.
    Bernie could have run for president if he hadn’t been stopped by the undemocratic elections system in the democratic party.

    I refrained from answering that part of your post because it doesn’t identify the real problem.
    There is also a good chance ANY candidate gets money from billionaires because they often support both sides.

    You are just making excuses for yourself to do nothing.




  • There would have to be a progressive that was running.

    Get into the party and help make it happen.
    They are there, they just don’t have the support they need.

    Edit:
    Bernie, AOC, Omar, don’t tell me they are the only ones in a country of 300 million.
    But if people don’t engage, nothing happens, just like nothing has happened since the 70’s to improve democracy in USA, but it on the contrary has gotten worse!
    Not engaging leaves the power with the 1%, so blame yourself and your fellow Americans.
