Maybe we should just ban Christian marriage as a superstitious ritual.

What? Americans voted for him to move USA backwards, and he is moving USA backwards!
They got what they asked for.

That’s like claiming he can’t be a male chauvinist because he is married to a woman.
Trump is both.

Being right wing supporting wall street and the 1% more than the general population is not moderate.
USA has 2 right wing parties, where one is extreme and the other only less extreme.
By European standards the real moderates are the left democrats like Bernie and AOC etc.

It’s not illegal if there are no consequences.

Freedom of speech baby, to bad USA doesn’t have it.

accused Donald Trump of tearing apart the transatlantic alliance with Europe

This is not merely an accusation, it’s a statement of fact.

So where are all the comments about daily mail not being trustworthy now?
Why isn’t this downvoted to oblivion when a story about false accusation of rape was? With comments all over the place on how daily mail is untrustworthy and had an agenda!
Is this part of that agenda too? Because that seems a bit weird IMO.

I hope this is more than just the pendulum swinging like it always does.

Paywall.
But White house spreading darkness across USA and the world.

If you sink lower on the corruption index, it means corruption is higher.
They made the index that way to avoid misunderstandings. 🤡

Well spoken IMO.
After winning WW2 America was a proud nation for more than half a century, and they had many things to point to that were good reasons to be proud. Obviously this got a boost again after the moon landings, which was not only a massive achievement, but back then NASA attributed it to the whole world, including the first words Armstrong spoke when he set foot on the moon.
Americans were the heroes of the free world, and we all admired their success.
It’s absolutely insane how this former pioneer nation has regressed to be scorned for their selfishness and disrespect for democracy and human rights. To a degree where even allies have to protect themselves against USA! This already was pretty bad with George Bush and the false intelligence used to invade Iraq, and the use of torture by Americans which was previously totally unheard of, and the use of Guantanamo Base for the GITMO prison, completely disregarding rights as either prisoners of war or civilian and human rights. This was in 2002, and USA still hasn’t managed or even attempted to repair that damage for 24 years now.

It must be at least as surreal for the Americans that never wanted this, as it is for the rest of the world.
Putin is probably ecstatic, because this is what he wanted, and probably a result of his political influence in USA.
And Xi is probably pleased that USA is looking to become a more “manageable” problem in the future, as USA is losing the power of having many allies working towards similar goals.

USA will never be the same again, and the world will never be the same again, and the winner is China. For Putin it is probably a Pyrrhic victory, as all his efforts will only result in the decline of Russia and possible the destroction of the Russian federation, which is the exact opposite of what Putin wanted.

The problems with USA now are far from just Trump, they are a result of many years of mismanagement, declining moral and disregard for human rights and international law and a failing democracy, and is rooted in the American people.

How to shamelessly shoot children probably.

I actually feel really sorry for the career attorneys who make the representations in court on the political apparatus’ behalf,

Don’t, they are 100% part of the problem.

Yes I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s very very difficult.

It doesn’t matter how many other countries you have on board if the Federal government of USA won’t allow it.
Secession can’t happen is the default. To change that a lot of ifs are required, both a lot and some very big ones.
No country is more powerful than USA, and even if there were such countries, they have no right to interfere in internal affairs of USA.
USA is extremely undemocratic and authoritative compared to EU, where the states have way better protections and are allowed to leave the union.
If Americans think the “world” can help them think again. Because they neither can or will.

I don’t get it? Why are these protests not anti government? Do they consider everything else that is going on OK?
Cutting healthcare, the obvious corruption, and destroying the American economy in multiple ways, and making Americans poorer by devaluing the US Dollar.
But apparently Americans are OK with losing their democracy, and people working 2 jobs living in poverty without healthcare!

Protesting ICE is of course a place to start, but despite the protests ICE is still active in Minnesota!

Unfortunately USA is not a free country, and secession is illegal.
History shows that military force will be used in case states try to secede.

I’ll never forgive the assholes that voted this piece of shit into office

You shouldn’t. These are the new Nazis. Sociopaths completely without respect for anything.

Best case scenario would be that the people demand a better democracy. But I doubt they will, because Americans are indoctrinated to think they have the best democracy in the world, when in reality it’s a highly dysfunctional democracy. And I suspect only a small percentage of Americans are aware of that.
