Ever seen Trump laugh? Or even... act human?

Trump is definitely human, he's just a spoiled, wicked, corrupt, used to being pandered to, egomaniac. We all know why he cozies up to Putin, Kim, and the rest of their ilk. He wants the US to turn into his own personal United States Empire of Trump (and corporate/elitist/kleptocratic regime).

And please, Japan, ignore your American handlers!

Typical wumao/CCP propaganda shill statement... The CCP is the problem, and will always be the problem since their formation. China could have been a much larger and more respected nation without the CCP screwing up the country with their behavior. The CCP lives on nothing but deceit and perceived control over others. The CCPs list of offenses against their own citizens is long., and they want to spread that corruption in their region of interest.

Trump was, and still is corrupt. The issue is, should in the worst version of our timeline Trump manages to become POTUS again, what will he ask for Zelensky to do to keep getting support from the orange one's administration?

Trump is already on the hook for favors from Putin... So how can such an act be balanced?

This is atrocious. I can understand them having firearms in a rural area, wildlife can be problematic out there. But WHY did he murder his wife and children and his relatives children!?!?! Even his family members are going to be out for blood.

This is the problem with hyper-partisanship. Even when someone is completely wrong, corrupt, and convicted of crimes.... the "party" ignores it and stands behind to prop it back up to show "solidarity". Instead of saying, "hey, you're a terrible person... we don't want you to represent us AT ALL!" They instead say, "Oh, nothing is wrong. Keep doing all the corrupt, wicked, deceitful behaviour and actions up... We'll stand by you!"

Enabling at it's finest. Only problem is, it is not only destructive to their own integrity... but it will take the rest of the country down with them!

The GOP is for sale, and will gladly put the rest of the US up for sale to the highest bidder to satiate their greed and lust for absolute authoritarian power.

I'm glad that the assassination was botched, but all the "mistakes" made for the shooter to get into position even AFTER a witness gave warning is extremely odd.

Info is still coming out about the shooting suspect Crooke. Motives, mental state, etc...

As I said, not going to vote for Trump... EVER. I know many people who have been in active duty combat and vets that don't have the luxury of being protected by anyone in civilian life and they're far braver and more courageous.

Trump needs to rethink that whole, "Allowed to assassinate political rivals" garbage he thought he could get away with as a defensive legal excuse for "presidential immunity" without limits or properly balanced restrictions by law. This is supposedly a "lone wolf" attack... but it doesn't bode well no matter what side of the political spectrum anyone is on.

Too bad the suspected shooter is dead. I'd love to know the who, why, and what is behind the motive... although I pretty much can tell why from Trumps own behavior. This is the 2nd known attempt on Trump's life, but the first one was well before he attempted to get into politics. Still not gonna vote for the tool. He is evil.

800,000 abortions are performed in the US each year. If outlawed, there is no way that there will be 800,000 underground abortions occurring yearly. So, many lives will be saved.

facepalm... if there are more than 800,000 underground abortions/forced miscarriages, you'll never have an exact number, because there is no way to properly track it! You are NOT SAVING unborn children being brought into this world!

This could be a good example of why religion should stay out of politics.

Why?

Why do you believe that you personally should have a religious voice in a decision that is between the person who chooses to have an abortion (that is between them and God), and think that you should tell them if they can or can't have one (attempting to make it between yourself, and them and God). Freedom of choice is a God given right. The consequences are between them and God, not YOU.

If you don't like abortion, don't have one yourself. But don't interject your personal moral/religious choice on those who can legally choose to do so as it is their choice. The cat has been out of the bag since the 60s, and you can't stuff it back in. If the law was left alone at no abortions allowed during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, there would be no concern. If you look at human history, abortions were done well before there were laws to make it a legal right. My step grandmother (eastern European) "worked" during WW2 and knew how to terminate a pregnancy or force a miscarriage due to what she was doing to survive in that era and passed down the information to all her daughters. Women will do it anyway, and will know how to do it.

I'm not a big fan of abortion, but I'd rather have hard statistics on legal abortion, instead of trying to force it underground/illicit abortions with no way of knowing how societal/population trends are going and what problems are happening.

You're not "saving" babies that aren't born yet, especially since you know you can't even help the children that are already born and alive in this world!

China is right about this.

The CCP is never in the right. Once you see just how much they have to cover up and try to (poorly) hide what they do to the Chinese people, you'll understand very clearly. Before the CCP, Chinese culture had manners, dignity, respect, and integrity. After the CCP gained more power, they destroyed China's traditional culture, dignity, respect, and integrity to keep up their lust for power to the CCP elite. The CCP is the problem with China. If the CCP never existed, China could have been in better standing in the world today, and their people would be happier.

The CCP sure as hell knows they're full of it, which is why they keep spouting drivel in a feeble attempt to distract from their blatantly obvious actions. NATO and other nations are doing what they're doing because of what the current Russian and Chinese governments are doing. They keep asking for "respect" but behave completely unworthy of earning the "respect" they crave.

Trump is also knocking on his 80s. These men should not be running for POTUS.

It's nice they celebrate the end of their civil war.

Please educate yourself more on world history. It wasn't the US civil war. It was a war for the American colonies to free themselves from British colonial rule... also known in the US as the "War of Independence" fought between the years of 1775-1783.

The US "Civil War" where southern states of the US seceded from the US in order to keep their "ways" and maintain slavery and oppression was fought between 1861-1865.

For my fellow Americans. HAPPY 4th of July!

I pray that all remember the sacrifices, and fighting done by those who came far before us to have the rights and freedoms we have today. Please remember that we must not only know our actual rights (and not make choices based on perceived rights), but know our responsibilities to keep our rights upheld and sound, and also respect that the rights of other Americans should not be violated either no matter how much we may have political disagreements. All are created equal!

Notice how the 4 "candidates" must be loyal to the Khamenei... Not to the people of Iran... but to one man who is the "supreme leader" and shall not be challenged. Yeah... North Korea does the same thing. Elections are pointless.

Hard to be accidental around your own country and regions which one owns.

Always important to keep in mind Taiwan is a non-UN recognised state and has historically been part of China.

Let's clarify this for you. Taiwan does NOT belong to the CCP. Just like the UK didn't have to let go of Hong Kong as the agreement was to return Hong Kong to the previous governing body before the CCP even existed. Taiwan belongs to the ROC... NOT the CCP.

The CCP can keep trying to hide it, but people REMEMBER, and the incident is part of world history. Great grandparents tell children, Grandparents remind children, Parents remind children, children when they grow older will tell their children. The CCP can't hide it, no matter how hard they try. The truth shall remain and be passed on as it has been for decades.

The sheer amount of delusion the Trumpeteers have to live in to deny reality. I say this about a lot of things when people try to immerse themselves in delusional ideals and perspectives, "REALITY ALWAYS WINS."

The rich kid gloves need to come off for Trump. He violates the orders, he gets put in jail.

Remember folks, "Innocent until proven guilty." not, "We believe he's guilty, but got away with it!" Good prosecution has enough evidence to prove without reasonable doubt he did it. They obviously didn't have good enough evidence.

It is a given that the bridge needs to be repaired ASAP. "Some" GOP members resisting putting funding towards repairs without tagging a lot of other trash bills along with it? Smells like the toxic MAGAt members rearing their sick heads.

The GOP has a playlist they keep going through. Obstruction, projection, deflection. We will keep seeing them do this forever until they either remember how to do their actual job, or destroy themselves. I'm pretty sure they'll destroy themselves first before they get some form of intelligence back in their enclave.

Corruption is his game, don't be shocked if he has some kind of kickback from the cartels. Soon the Mexican government will not exist and Drug Cartels will become warlords fighting for control and territory. Global trade for legitimate business opportunities will flee the country and along with that goes your tourism and everything else.

Careful buddy... you don't want to encourage the US crossing the border to fix the problems for both nations. Considering the claim that some US military equipment has been put in the hands of some cartels, the US sure would like to get that back out of their hands and find out how they got it.

The question is how did this happen in the first place. Putin was so invested in invading Ukraine and ruling over Russia as a kleptocratic dictator, while arresting protestors, killing political rivals, and more... He wasn't paying attention to a threat like this in his own country. This is what happens when you don't pay attention to the right things while being too focused on doing the wrong things. If he didn't start this issue with Ukraine in the first place, he would have caught this before it happened.

The US congress were thieves!

As you don't know what it is like to vote for leadership in China... oh wait, the CCP elites only vote for themselves, you completely miss the point of banning tiktok. The CCP is run by a bunch of autocrats that like to try to control others. Not just their own citizens of China, but globally. A lot of people are sick of the CCP, and they keep doing things to create more enemies for themselves.

All I'm going to say is... look at the North Korean soldiers in the pictures. The Kim regime is so focused on the hardware, he completely ignored the "software" needed to run the hardware. Things are not going to go well for him in any kind of conflict.

I've got a straight message for Putin and his groupies. He obviously keeps forgetting that MAD means that if he uses nukes for any reason besides a retalitory nuclear strike (aka someone sends a nuke his way first), he will no longer have a country to rule, expand, or live in. No soldiers, no people to rule, no pleasant morning coffee/tea or w/e he drinks in the morning, no more palace, no more luxury lifestyle... Peace brings prosperity, but he chose invasion and expansion of Russian territory for his own delusions of grandeur and "reclaiming old imperial/USSR conquered territory".

There is always a choice for humanity to make this planet paradise on Earth for us to all live in happy, and in peace... or the choice to create our own hell on Earth, where there is nothing but misery and suffering. Putin and the Duma need to figure it out properly, because they chose the path of hell on Earth by their own delusions and self created entitlement.

The MAGA GOP is so far out in crazy land they will destroy the US just to feel like they are "right" about everything and "own the libs". They don't like the US constitution keeping them in line. They think they can act like power mongers, by creating and exacerbating problems when they are not the majority political party in charge, just so they can claim credit and say, "Dems bad, they ruin gub'mint and we are the only ones who can fix it!"

Remember folks, these are the same "Americans" that hold Trump up as their ideal leader. A man who has never done a true hard days work in his life, nor ever did a working class job. Is as corrupt as anyone can be, and blatantly behaves like he wants to be able to RULE America, not LEAD it. I can't say enough how DONE I am with the GOP. The party of obstructionist, insurrectionist, fascist, autocratic, corrupt, greedy, power and money hungry (enter expletives here).

I hope they're foolish enough to go ahead. I'm all for getting this obscene stupidity over with since all the autocratic regimes feel they'll somehow win anything once we make the planet unpleasantly unhospitable for human life. Like taking off a very painful band-aid, pull it off quick. So they can all think about if it was worth it when they're dead. Win nothing, lose EVERYTHING.

What harm have these countries done to you personally? What country are you from? In war there are no good or bad. There are eaters and losers. For many countries, the Axis of Evil is America and its allies.

Actually, the US and it's allies are only "evil" in the eyes of the dictators, tyrants, terrorists, and autocratic regimes of the world. Freedom and happiness in contrast to their oppression and enslavement. As many have to repeat, Finland and Sweden chose to join NATO.... Not Russia, or China, or Iran..... Due to Putin's INVASION for TERRITORY to ANNEX. People know actual evil when it's shown.

The CCP is full of it as usual. We all know that both the CCP and Putin are repeating the historical pattern of starting global wars. CCP wants to grab territory and control over Taiwan to make themselves feel more powerful... Putin wants to grab territory and control over former USSR satellite states to make himself feel more powerful... Interesting how world wars start because someone wants something that doesn't belong to them.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The idiot "rulers" of those countries haven't learned a **** thing.

China is no more communist than the DPRK is "democratic". An authoritarian regime by any other name...
