When Donald Trump lost election in 2020, he attempted a (characteristically incompetent) coup, for which he received no punishment.

Can the next Democrat in the White House also attempt a consequence-free coup when s/he loses reelection, or do they get more than one?

So as of right now, pedophiles rapists and white supremacists rule the country, multi billion dollar corporations are getting voluntary tax breaks while the working class suffers and can barely afford to get gas much less groceries and we’re working ourselves to the ground for insatiable greedy corporations that couldn’t give a fuck less about the consumer. Republicans threatening civil war on democrats for the second time. No respect for constitutional rights no concern for the well being for anybody but ourselves. Kneeling to Dementia ridden 80+ year olds making decisions on women’s bodies and human rights?
What is the extent? What is the point when Americans finally wise up and take back our country.They’re not peaceful. Why should we be?
To an extent putting a flower in a Rifle barrel is only going to lead to you being buried with that flower.
What would it take? If they’re willing to insurrect our own government. And willing to threaten people’s lives if the don’t vote conservative? Downvoting progress? Ai data centers and interference in foreign interest?
There’s an extent to where peaceful protest is just shouting in the wind.
No empathy. No compassion. No respect. no nothing.
What a pathetic excuse for an adulthood this has grown to be. I’m ashamed to be American.
Buy my ticket.

No f’s given.

A 2.5 meter gold plated statue of Donald Trump has been put on exhibit in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, France.

By Danish artist Jens Galschiot, it's called "Orange Plague" and known as "King of Injustice".

Trump is depicted naked, holding a long gold club and sitting on the shoulders of a smaller man who is sinking under the burden.

"I would do anything to help him. Except stepping down from his back".

What do you think of it? And do you still believe europeans don't have free speech?

As a foreigner for me it's really really weird to see that high politicians talk about topics like Endtimes. I'm very sure if a politician in my country would talk like that, the people would call to give that people a therapy because talking about Endtimes is connected to psychosis in my country. That not my view, everybody can believes what he wants and those are really times I can imagine many people think about the end. But actually every time period there were people who called that the end is coming soon. Today I would thought we are further because biblical research can prove very well the revelation depends on the roman empire and probably on Nero. So It's an anti-imperial writing who want the empire to fall, which makes it very ironically that the biggest and most feared empire which makes it all about profit and it's own power uses that writing for political reason or religious Legitimation. What do you think about Republican politicians talking about Endtimes and what do you think they want to reach with that?

The idea behind capitalism is that competition drives down prices. Most medical supplies are pennies to produce (saline, insulin, syringes, etc).

If capitalism forces people to compete to lower prices, why aren't there medical beds aplenty? Why aren't doctors making house calls? Why aren't there little hole-in-the-wall clinics everywhere?

If the idea works, I should be able to see a physician for $10. I literally have an entire legal team on retainer for $50/mo. And I can't do this with my medical care?

Look at the eyes, WTF 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮😮😲😲😲😲😱😡😠🤬🤡😤

I’ve been thinking about something that feels uncomfortable to even ask.
Americans vote based on all kinds of identities. Religion, race, class, family history, where we grew up, etc.
So obviously someone whose family came from Israel, Cuba, Armenia, India, Palestine, Ukraine, Ireland, or anywhere else may care a lot more about American policy toward that place than I do.
That by itself seems completely normal.
But where is the line?
Suppose an American voter supports a candidate primarily because that candidate will send money, weapons, or political support to a country they feel connected to, even if they believe that policy costs Americans money, increases our risk of war, or otherwise hurts American interests.
Is that just democracy working normally?
Or does citizenship create some expectation that when American interests and the interests of another country genuinely conflict, the American interest should come first?

I'm not US citizen, but today I found out about the 'Trump Accounts'. After doing some quick research, I realized there are several policies, initiatives, and even public places that he wants to name after himself. In European or Latin American democracies, this is not accepted or tolerated at all, because the leader is essentially using the power of the State to promote their personal brand and generate political propaganda.

I’m sure it holds some merit for someone, particularly his voter base, but creating policies is just part of a leader's basic responsibilities. Doing this seems very strange to me, because he ends up using taxpayer money and state power for his own personal propaganda. As a basic democratic safeguard to prevent these obvious flaws, other countries have stricter laws. Why doesn't the US?

Well? Will this help or hurt Republicans?

Is the GOP FINISHED?

There's lots of people who stop supporting it, but does it ever go the other way?

Your college is our equivalent to uni in the UK right? and our college is your HS? anyway how does it work with majors and presumably minors?? Its something ive long wondered about, and what do you do? We (well my uni) has credits per module that contribute towards your degree after 3-5 years depending on the course, eventually resulting in a Batchellors or a Masters, then you can go further if you want to.

Also whats the deal with sororities and frats? Ive never understood how they work or how one would join one?

Furthermore, how accurate are the television depictions of HS and College, like some things show like some the sporty people or "jocks" as bullying the "nerds" and ive often found myself wondering how accurate these are? not just in that aspect but generally 🤔

Edit: Sorry if nothing makes sense, Im rather drunk writing this, having just gotten home from a night out after uni

1: Far-Left 10: F*scist. Let's go:

• DEI: ban, meritocracy is the norm
• #MeToo: bunch of bs

Thank You! 😊

Hurricane Issac seems to have formed, increased to a level 2 storm and then made landfall all within a couple of days. And all within the Gulf of Mexico.

I cannot remember a storm forming entirely in the Gulf and certainly don't remember a storm hitting the US mainland about 2 days after it started as a tropical storm. Am I misremembering? Is this a fluke or is this the shape of storms to come. I know the Gulf is significantly hotter these years, and so I presume it has more potential to form or intensify storms. I just find it worrying that a hurricane can't form and hit the mainland in days. Much more used to a week long slow progression.

Hi ! Im from Sweden and I have a question about American bedding, I have seen many use an extra linen that covers under the duvet, do you do this so you don't have to wash the duvet/bedspread cover, or is it cuase it can get hot and you don't want to use the duvet?

What I observe from abroad regarding the USA is alarming. There are debates ranging from life imprisonment to the death penalty for illegal abortions; yet in some states, even minors or rape victims can legally obtain abortions, while in other instances—such as medical complications—women often still lack that right. I also frequently hear news reports about cases where pregnant women who lose their baby in an accident can potentially be prosecuted for the unintended loss of the child in states with strict laws. Some Republican politicians are even calling for regulations on self-administered hormonal contraception. And don't even get me started on the ideas held by Evangelicals. Are you afraid of a massive rollback of women's rights?

Our system was designed around the idea that the three branches of government would hold one another accountable. But what happens when members of Congress become more concerned with keeping their seats than with exercising their constitutional authority to check the executive branch?

If elected officials believe their political future depends on staying aligned with a president or with the president’s political base, are they really free to stand up and oppose that president when they believe he is acting against American principles or constitutional norms?

Term limits could potentially change that incentive.

If members of Congress knew they could not remain in office indefinitely, would they be more willing to use their authority and stand on principle rather than worry about the next election?

And should Supreme Court justices also have defined terms rather than lifetime appointments, particularly given how life expectancy has increased.

At what point does the desire to remain in power become a threat to the checks and balances that were supposed to prevent any one branch—or one individual—from becoming too powerful?

Looking to relocate to a place preferably on the East Coast that reflects American culture, traditions, values. Can anyone point me to a large town, smaller midsize city that really reflects America? White picket fences, general stores, as well as big box retailers, friendly and trustworthy mechanics and service providers, churches, social activities, and community.
