Schools in China can no longer teach primarily in an ethnic language. Mandarin must be the primary language in all schools. China is more generally cracking down on ethnic minorities in its ethnic unity law.
China is a colonial empire that has conquered its land by force, and it is stepping up its forced assimilation of its formerly conquered peoples.
Career prosecutor and FBI man say that these professional roles used to not notice much when a new president came in. Trump changed that. He used the justice system to protect his friends and attack his political opponents. Trump is corrupting justice and weakening US democracy.
Jack Smith prosecuted Trump because the facts supported prosecution. If they didn’t support that, he wouldn’t have brought that. He’s a career prosecutor who cares about the law, not a partisan actor.
This Fourth of July, many Americans have trouble feeling proud about America when its leader is running around acting like an immoral jackass and a large percentage of Americans are cheering him on or making pathetic excuses.
Rubio compares the audaciousness of American colonists rebelling against the British empire and creating the world’s first modern democracy, and the US landing on the moon…to UFC creating a successful fighting company.
Rubio knows this is nonsense. He is lying for Trump. Rubio used to be a respectful Senator, now he drinks Trump’s fluids from both sides every day on national television.
Don’t get me wrong, UFC is cool and I respect the sport and business that they built, but the audacity of creating the world’s first modern democracy, rebelling against the greatest empire on Earth, and landing on the moon…are incomparable to creating a cool sports fighting business.
Hunter Biden defended his original “sweet deal” criminal agreement as appropriate based on the circumstances, then a conservative and Republican bullshit propaganda machine tricked the American public into thinking it wasn’t a normal and just deal.
People claimed Joe Biden as president intervened for his son somehow, without evidence and while Hunter Biden was being treated unfairly by the justice department based on propaganda.
Hunter eventually got a pardon, but only after, even while Joe was president, the justice department was treating him unfairly based on propaganda, and after Trump was elected who was speaking like he intended to weaponize the justice system rather than prosecute people justly.
Trump and his supporters ludicrously exaggerated the extent that Biden or Democrats were committing lawfare, then got into office and are repeatedly in a black and white manner abusing the power of justice to target political opponents on charges that don’t make sense to waste police, Justice Department, and lawyer resources on.
Officials and lawyers are acting in ways that are illegal, and should be appropriately prosecuted and punished for these blatant abuses of power. One reason many seasoned lawyers have quit rather than fulfill Trump’s requests to prosecute political opponents is because they fear just and appropriate disbarment.
We’ve got to be able to have fair, reasonable ways to tax the super wealthy without demonizing them.
The wealthy pay a lot, however, due to how incredibly much they have, and inequality, they still don’t pay their fair share. The goal of taxation is to pay for government in the least harmful way possible, not to liquidate the rich. Fair taxation and reasonable welfare policy is good. Class warfare is evil. A society that taxes in order to end billionaires, or that uses rhetoric that endangers the wealthy, will be a violent and repressive society–either because the masses will turn authoritarian and violent, or because the wealthy will out of fear.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been a brutal dictatorship from its beginning, and the recent massacres were a crazy and organized bloodbath involving the government slaughtering its own people.
This is not the first time the Islamist theocracy has slaughtered its own people.
