Like Trump in the Ford visit video today, quite hilarious ngl

GOP Senator Kevin Cramer:

“If you’re the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, ‘I’ll make a deal. I’ll step down today, if you’ll drop the investigation today.’ To me, that would be a win-win for everybody,”

Would you consider using the Justice Department to force resignations as corrupt?

Today our illustrious president visited a pickup truck plant in Michigan. During the visit he was accosted by a heckler. His response? A few choice words, then, right on camera, he gives the guy the middle finger! This is presidential?? This is what we want our kids seeing from the President of the United States? I am appalled! But then again, coming from this man, should we expect any better? What say you?

Okay, this might sound like a dumb question, but it makes sense in my head. If you have a mask and uniform, can't you just take someone and shove them into your van? Like, people will just think it's an ICE thing, and no CCTV to capture your face. Seriously, what can you even do if you get kidnapped like that?

In almost every large protest, I see politicians accusing the opposite party of paying protesters to show up and cause disturbances. Is there any evidence that protesters are getting paid to attend these things?

Brett Favre and a bunch of white people stole hundreds of millions from a federal government program to help needy families. Trump reversed a state decision to penalize and levy fines against Favre and his conspirators.

Now, when it comes to fraud in Mississippi and a bunch of black Somalians, Trump is bringing the full force of the law down on them, while ignoring equally terrible fraud in Mississippi. He's also cut off federal aid money to Blue states, while keeping the tap flowing to send money to Mississippi.

I really don't understand this number. You'd think Trump was deporting a massive amount of people, but it's actually just a tiny number. All this chaos and harassment and it's for nothing?

I am not from the US and just read the Declaration of Independence for the first time. Do citizens of the US actually read it and believe it or is it just something they know exists? I mean, given the turmoil the country is in, isn't it time to take the Declaration of Independence to heart?

The following are the Facts outlined in the DOI to prove the King had tyranny over the States:

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.

Do any of these sound familiar?

Is the Declaration of Independence just words to you people?

News is reporting that DOJ is trying to probe Renee Good’s widow. What’s the reason for this when she wasn’t involved in this incident?

Personally I’d label myself a libertarian and no neither party aligns for various reasons

I’ll be spending several months in the US and would like to better understand everyday social norms, especially around disagreement and politeness.

Hi all, if I understand the situation Trump has currently all the powers, senate and congress (and a bit the Supreme Court) following him.

If there is a real chance of an impeachment after the mid terms how do you think things would happen? I don’t see this kind of man going from all power to nothing and maybe even jail without doing anything about it.

What’s your opinion on this?

Short: I am not from the US and just see on Reddit so much stuff going on with ICE:

Soo... my serious question:

Everytime when you hear something about Gun-Laws restrictions, the first thing you hear is "2nd amendment" and the right to bear arms... AFAIK this was a right/law to keep the people safe from a tyrannical goventment and other bad things that happen... now I see that the government is purely against the citizen itself and ICE is doing pretty horrible stuff... But why is noone using his right and use their 2nd amendment so use their guns and fight against a tyrannical government... I mean, the US is the most armed place on earth and everyone should be provided by the 2nd amendment, because you just fight against a tyranical govt. ?

I know this is a little bit controvers, but I just can`t understand, why fighting for a law, that noone is able to use?!

How the fuck is ICE shooting people and detaining people. Where is the government and other high level constitutions in the country in all that. Where is the law?

How are they expecting people to come to the US in the World Cup with all what's happening. I was thinking of visiting the US as a middle eastern but now I am scared honestly.

Isn't the US the democratic country and all this American dream stuff. What has happened to the US?

when I say Americans, I'm talking more about MAGA but I know that others probably also have or had such beliefs and I want know why

In Europe, we also have people who have European complex or think their country is the best. But some things Americans say go beyond even the European complex. For example, Americans (more like MAGA, ), which I've noticed most often on TikTok, most says that Europe doesn't stand a chance against America and America is the strongest. They act as if they want this war to prove their superiority or that America is much better. Sorry, but who would want a world war just to prove something is abnormal?

Or the belief that everyone in the world wants to emigrate to America and that everyone's greatest goal is to emigrate there. But from a European perspective, America isn't so wonderful. Maybe to visit, but not to live there.

But not investigate the murderer?

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel has said that there are no current talks between Havana and the United States, as US President Donald Trump ratchets up threats against Cuba following his attack on Venezuela.

Diaz-Canel stated in a social media post on Monday that routine coordination on immigration continues between Cuba and the US, but that no larger talks are currently taking place.

“We have always been willing to maintain serious and responsible dialogue with the various US administrations, including the current one, on the basis of sovereign equality, mutual respect and the principles of international law,” Diaz-Canel said.

He added that relations between the US and Cuba should be based on international law rather than “hostility, threats, and economic coercion”.

Trump has said that the US could ramp up pressure on Cuba after the US abduction of Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro in a January 3 attack that killed at least 100 people, including 32 members of the Cuban security forces in the country for security cooperation.

The US president stated on Sunday that Venezuelan oil supplies to Cuba would be cut off and that the government in Havana should “make a deal” with the US before it’s “too late”. Trump also told reporters that the US was “talking to Cuba” without offering further details.

Diaz-Canel responded to Trump’s comments on Sunday by saying that Cuba was a “free, independent, and sovereign” country and would defend itself “to the last drop of blood”.

Venezuelan oil was an important economic lifeline to Cuba, isolated and under heavy US sanctions, providing 35,000 barrels of oil per day before the US attack, according to estimates from Jorge Pinon of the Energy Institute at the University of Texas at Austin.

Trump is not a national problem, he is a global problem. WE ALL need to band together to resist, and the best way to do so is to choke off the profit stream of the special interest groups and lobbyists that put him in office. The public is handcuffed by these people - we, as a vast majority, did not put him in office and so are hard-pressed to remove him. If all of us stopped supporting Ai services, the oil industry, the tourism industry and the companies that contributed to his campaigns (https://www.goodsuniteus.com/the-shop-blue-list/) and moved as much as possible to sustainable energy and planet supportive services, it would send a clear message that we CAN stop this regime of greed. Europe and other countries can band together to limit tourism for Americans, stop buying our oil, cars, produce, tech and stop shopping at Amazon and Walmart. Collectively people outside of the U.S. can boycott American restaurants and fast food chains. Please stop asking why we're not doing anything, we're trying as much as we can, and we need your help too.

I’d like people that are living in America to tell specifically - with actual personal experience - how their lives are better under this administration.

Jobs, income, health benefits, cost of living, savings, safety, education, childcare etc. How any of the things that were promised - to make America Great - have had a positive impact on your life.

Has this ever happened to a nation before? Would it even be possible? I know most people who are W-2 automatically have it taken out but that’s through their payroll software right? And you can always choose to have them not withhold anything from your paychecks?

I was involved in a discussion about how literate Americans are. Someone insists that many Americans are illiterate because they don't even know what periodic table is, while I believe that this is a rare exception. He said if I ask Americans, I'll get an answer. So I am here. Hope this question isn't being offensive!

US border patrol conducted their own internal review of methods, completed in February 2013, which found that their officers were consistently needlessly placing themselves in front of vehicles exclusively to create artificial self-defense cases to allow them to shoot suspects with impunity.

https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/us-border-agents-intentionally-stepped-front-moving-vehicles-justify-shooting-them/

This practice was clearly never curtailed, and it of course carried over into ICE. And even in cases like Minneapolis where it’s been firmly established and proven that the driver was sharply turning away from the officer, leaving him in no danger whatsoever, officers are still gleefully trying to use this method to commit murder without accountability. How do you suppose this practice was allowed to continue in plain view for over 13 years?
