  • I understand your frustration, but the fault is not entirely hers, the real problem is that USA has a very flawed democracy, with only 2 realistic options to vote for, where better democracies have both more and better options.
    The fault was also with the democrats and Biden and Harris for failing to realize they were in the wrong position morally.
    I absolutely hate that “we” got Trump, but Ilhan Omar remains an ally against him, not an enemy.

    By “we” I mean the world, because I am not American. But Trump has done a lot of harm outside USA too.





  • That’s a straw man argument, because that is not at all what is happening.

    There are several factors, first the visible evidence of IV, then the MRI scans, which are used to monitor the effect of the treatment. Then multiple symptoms Trump is showing, like fatigue and dementia, some also claim Trump has a cycle of fatigue consistent with this treatment, also rumors of repeated cognitive tests, and almost but not quite finally that this is the best treatment that exist for the suspected circumstance, and would very likely be the one chosen for the president, and finally that this treatment was approved by FDA after Trump became president.

    So 1. The obvious IV, 2. Multiple MRI, 2.Obvious Symptoms, 3. Cycle, 4. Cognitive tests, 5. Best known treatment, 6. Circumstances surrounding the approval of the treatment.

    These are the ones I’ve picked up even without having great interest in the issue, so there may be more. Of course not all points are equally strong, and it’s all circumstantial. But it’s false to claim it’s just the IV.

    And finally as u/dhork mention, the blatant lying is a clear indication it’s something serious.



  • fundamentally, NATO is a U.S.-dominated forum, rather than a symposium of equals — a reality that Rutte’s relentlessly patient handling of the Trump administration makes clear.

    This is only too true, but Europe and non US NATO allies are working to hard change that as quickly as possible.
    Where in EU the end goal is complete independence from USA, and very clearly NATO members both Canada and European countries are looking for alternative weapons suppliers to USA, resulting in US military suppliers are not gaining much if any value from the increased budgets in other NATO countries, where for instance Rheinmetall has increased 700% in 3 years.







  • I have no idea where you got that take from? There is always food in a capitalist system, only with shortages prices increase, and they have most certainly increased this year.

    But the point is the waste caused by the Trump administration for instance this part:

    Dozens of raids have not only violated immigrants’ human rights and torn families apart: They have jeopardized the national food supply. Farmworkers already work physically hard jobs for low wages. In legitimate fear for their lives and liberty, reports indicate that in some places 70% of people harvesting, processing and distributing food stopped showing up to work by mid-2025.

    News reports have identified many instances where crops have been left to rot in abandoned fields. Even the U.S. Department of Labor declared in October 2025 that aggressive farm raids drive farmworkers into hiding, leave substantial amounts of food unharvested and thus pose a “risk of supply shock-induced food shortages.”

    So no there is NOT enough food, if prices were lowered to normal the shortages would become way more obvious.

    It’s a weird way to view things, to claim that actual shortages are due to “money shortages”, when clearly spreading more money around, wouldn’t create more food, but only possibly move the food away from other places and cause shortages there instead.




  • Yes we are, Trump is building up Hitler/Putin style. Taking control of secret and security services and using ICE too against both judges and police that object.
    USA will not remain a democracy unless something serious is done within 3 years.

    But even dictators with strong police and military backup can be overthrown if the people rebel in big enough numbers.
    No security system can hold against the masses of the population.
    It looks more an more like that’s where USA is heading. Maybe Trump is too stupid to see it, he may actually just be manipulated by people around and behind him, who really wants STRONG leadership, which they imagine means fascist dictatorship.

    It’s scary how a country that for many many lifetimes claimed democracy as one its biggest virtues, can fall so far so fast.
    It’s also scary how a country that consider the constitution almost as holy scripture, doesn’t give a shit about the most crucial cornerstones of that constitution.

    Originally it was all based on the ideals of the declaration of independence:
    https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights

    And now weer have Nazi America.
