Things looked like we might finally see justice, but after this victory, I think he got away free. Pardon or not.
I think those advocating on pardoning him now think that this would remove his incentive to turn DOJ into his personal agency, but he likely will do that anyway no matter what.
Exactly. Want to fight China? Do it together with other allies and put tariffs on things you actually produce yourself and don’t want China to get competitive edge on, like for example EVs.
If you fight with allies you are weakening yourself and make China stronger.
Sounds more and more like Nazi Germany.
There’s no way trump can depart that many people, and unlikely that the other countries will want them back, so they will end up in camps.
It is disinformation warfare. We can argue this and that should be done, but it is unlikely it would make much difference. Many people who voted for trump had believed Harris positions that were opposite from reality. People get their news from social media which is easily manipulated.
Ironically social media are no longer social, they are full of bots and AI generated content that is used to manipulate our views.
I doubt it. We are continue to underestimate information warfare. Look at Romania. A guy sympathetic to Russia who no one heard about few months ago won the first round.
The same techniques were used this election and previous one in US and Europe and we still ignoring it.
The manipulation is affecting others as well. You want to see how well it works, look how pro Russia candidate in Romania who no one knew won first round, and might win the next one.
I see this blame of various groups, of Harris of Democrats often one contradicting the other, but almost no one is acknowledging that we are in the middle of information warfare. We saw is effects in invasion of crimes in 2014, in brexit in 2016, trump election of the same year, across elections in Europe and still very little is done about it.
When some people were asked about why they voted for trump their answers were bizarre, out of touch with reality.
Today majority of people gets the news from social media which unlike traditional MSM is much more prone to be manipulated by foreign powers. Russia especially matters it, add their active measures developed during cold war work really well with current Internet.
He made everyone think he did, what he cares about were the government subsidies.
BTW: I still see bots on various social networks promote him as some kind of genius, a lot of us got fooled.
Yeah, I feel Elonia and Ramaswamy are only there to divert attention to them, while the actual work will be done.
If we want to fight fentanyl, much more effective would be to impose sanctions on Chinese pharmaceutical companies that produce it (they actually produce legitimate drugs too).
The tariffs idea on Mexico and Canada I bet comes from Elonia who wants to kill competitors to Tesla, who recently (especially this year) started eating into their market share and most have factories in Mexico.
Yeah, some people are more vulnerable than others, and this is especially true if they are on social media.
I noticed that nearly everyone (perhaps all) in my circle who fell for MAGA were or still are in some kind of MLM.
Online, for example on Reddit looking at users who believe that you see that large portions of them are into crypto.
He wants to replace military leaders with lapdogs. His goal is to make military serve him not the Constitution.
The only meaningful change for this would be via legislation, otherwise trump can just as easily undo it the same day.
Edit: looks like the process is much more complicated and actually Biden already started the process at the beginning of this year (April): https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/update-deas-efforts-reschedule-cannabis-what-you-need-know-2024-09-11/ , I don’t understand this article
Edit 2: the letter is actually asking him to try to hurry the process up (the article from September that I linked says there supposed to be hearing scheduled this Monday (Dec 2nd)). It is very misleading (as you can see from the comments), because it implies Biden is just ignoring this issue completely.

One question comes to mind: what kind of qualifications make her being selected for this position.
The only ones so far are her potential tires to Russia. There’s literally nothing else.
Why January 19 was selected as the date?
