Under Trump, US foreign policy involves helping the businesses of Trump and his friends rather than just a focus on what’s best for the United States and its people as a whole. This allows countries to indirectly bribe Trump to change the foreign policy of the United States.
US democracy is declining, and democracies often slowly shift into something that is not really democracy, rather than suddenly becoming autocratic in one dramatic moment.
Trump repeatedly screams fraud when there is an election outcome he doesn’t like, even in elections he wasn’t running in. And of course, without even close to decent evidence…
2016 Republican Primaries, 2016 US presidential election, 2018 US midterms, 2020 US presidential election, 2022 US midterms…
He even claims it in elections he won to claim “in reality” he won bigger!
The Supreme Court keeps seeing blatantly unlawful action by the Trump administration, and then ending injunctions and allowing it to go forward anyways while the case works its way through the process. It looks like the Supreme Court is making up doctrines in order to enable lawlessness. The Supreme Court did not act like this toward Biden.
“The Trump administration has acknowledged in court documents that it canceled $7.6 billion in grants for hundreds of clean energy projects “based solely on the political identity of the grant recipient’s state” — in this case, 16 states that voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.”
The government has charged many ICE protesters with crimes, but many of these prosecutions have fallen apart, indicating that the charges were more about government intimidation than legitimate criminal justice.
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.
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.
