The USA has by far the biggest military in the world, and praises those who serve, often giving them accolades at events such as sports and big gatherings which draw huge televised viewership. Primarily, the military is said to keep the USA and the world free in its voice, but it also is a major money maker, and a purveyor of violence, accepted by Americans as necessary, and the people are brainwashed by flyovers, and the flair of being capable of as the world's most advanced killing machine. Nobody will mess with us, the bigger the military is, which has some truth to it, unfortunately.
Because of this, and the history of the gun, along with an obsolete constitutional right, the gun culture will always exist in America.
There are always comments about how laws for one side will make a difference, while the other wants little to no control of guns and blames the mental state of Americans. The gun culture allows for believers in gun ownershi, which is both sides, and gun usage to enable problematic people to have guns.
Mass shooting and killings are the obvious result.
Thoughts and prayers are often the stamped reaction, but it's insanity to repeat it over and over, and many of us believe the thoughts part but prayer is a silly belief for a representation of good, which is what belief in God and religion is supposedly about, but a gun culture makes 'prayer' completely hollow, and a God fearing culture and guns hypocritically go hand in hand in the United States.

the left in their typical hate-Trump screaming syndrome, the real and only focus should be on the families
Come on, man. You know Trump's insulted military families many times over, it isn't a left thing, it's a fact thing.
It's a Trump saying McCain was weak for being a POW, and how he likes guys who aren't captured. All the examples of him dissing the military is there for you, if you actually want to find facts and not put a twist for your blind love of Donald, and to disavow what he says is another example of cherry picking.

let alone call anyone a con, just don't go there.
Con men and grifters target mentally weak individuals to believe in them. The cult that is MAGA has been conned by Trump, and they don't have the critical thinking capacity to not be (actually, they have no idea how to critical think, because they never get all information available, they cherry pick and choose only parts of it to make their own narrative...people against MAGA do have the capacity to look at all the information and make a decision of clarity, not the muck and lies MAGA supporters bring up consistently).

She wants to gain political points from this.
Partly. The thing you fail to understand is Harris is pointing out Trump's view that the military personnel who died for America are losers. Those POW's who are captured and tortured are losers. It's just saying this person, who disses the military routinely should not be using Arlington as his photo op/video promotion site, and he's doing it without respect for sacred areas because he can't understand why he, Don Old, cannot do whatever he wants(the juvenile privileged jerk he is).
The political part Trump should not be president is because she's running against him and he's making blunders that she points out for gain, but it's hardly something she shouldn't bring up and Trump sets it all up by being the negative lying person he is, as he's lost control of what is acceptable and what is not, due to his narcissism and loss of cognitive sensibility. Plus, oh yes, already said, he's a jerk.

Posted in: Trump shares social media posts with QAnon phrases and calls for jailing lawmakers, special counsel See in context
Trump in recent years has openly embraced followers of QAnon after years of winking at the theory, centered on the baseless belief that Trump is waging a secret campaign against enemies in the “deep state” and a child sex trafficking ring run by satanic pedophiles and cannibals.
The former president’s indulgence of the conspiracy theory is among the ways Trump has embraced the far-right fringe of his political movement.
This alone, among all the many idiotic things Don Old believes in, demonstrates the insanity of Trump. He loves QAnon, his insurrection buddies.
He and his entire cult, whom believe everything MAGA, also agrees to this obsession of bigotry leading to conspiracy idiocy of QAnon and insurrection activity promoting their dictator.
At least I haven’t read any of them condemning Trump’s latest crazy. A train wreck of humanity, sad, so sad, further meltdown of him and his cult. Funny, but sad.

Posted in: Nikki Haley in Taiwan says an isolationist policy is not healthy while expressing support for Trump See in context
When Haley shuttered her own bid for the Republican nomination, she did not immediately endorse Trump, having accused him of causing chaos and disregarding the importance of U.S. alliances abroad.
Her disparaging remarks were her truthful momental lapse of her often wrong reasoning to say the reality about Trump and his problematic administration. She spoke of the continued danger of Trumpism to America, and when she finally dropped out, it took awhile for her to back Trump.
Ultimately, she is a politician and a Republican and finally a flip flop MAGA supporter, of which she obviously has no real love or belief of Trump, but she places her own political good over everything else, including dislike of MAGA and allowance for insurrection and approval of Trump's actions of misogyny, bigotry and stupidity.
And she's lying. Trump's love for Xi absolutely is not going to support Taiwan should China attack Taiwan. She says America backs Taiwan, and Harris does, but Trump? No way, he's into isolationism and does nothing truly diplomatic and care for any other country. He only cares for dictator's approval, and in this case, he highly favors Xi over Taiwan, no question.

End of MAGA approaching soon. They may never realize how the lies of the GOP led to Trumpism and a desire for dictatorial style of business he commands. The gaslighting oil salesman who was the worst president the USA has ever had.
The words of bullying and attacks are old and boring the nation to the degree Trump’s numbers drop and will continue to drop till he’s done, as he loses to a stronger woman in Kamala.
The relentless goofiness of his words are numbered, as his knowledge he could end up in prison can well see him bail from the election and perhaps the country pre November.

The momentum picks up each day, and so funny to see Trump talking AI because her crowds are bigger and more enthusiastic than his. MAGA has become amusing, they're no longer a threat to the constitution and our democracy.
We've won that battle of losing it to Don Old's dictator wannabe and his minion cult. There is zero chance he and his hillbilly eye liner dork will get any momentum back, they're done as the non decided vote and youth are all in Kamala's realm, not MAGA's.

Posted in: Judoka Abe calls for fans to be kind; expects rule changes See in context
Abe's crying is contextual. The volume, length and impact of her wails shook many who saw it, as it wasn't just a short cry, it was an outburst.
Essentially, the criticism she received was sown from own actions. Of course, social media can be cruel and mean, but the Japanese Olympic Committee expecting free speech to be stifled, is wrong. One cannot use social media to promote, and then axe the response because it doesn't fit their expectation.
This is not about Abe, as much as free speech. Criticism of her is an opinion, and can be argued, but it shouldn't be stopped, because it hurt her feelings. She would have used social media to promote her sport and gold, had she won. Sports can't have it both ways, using it only for their own positive feelings.
It may lack empathy and attacks on her may be bullying, but one cannot be judge and jury like the JOC and determine it will be controlled by them.
It's a staple of free thinkers to have free speech, whether it is negative or positive. There are lies all over the internet of which people believe conspiracy theories, falsehoods, and wrongs, but it can't be controlled by stopping free speech by authorities.

Well earned win for the Hayes and USWNT. Japan’s defensive ability clearly excellent, and US shows a ton of patience, not pushing the vertical game, knowing Japan can counter when mistakes happen.
Japan is a rope a dope type team, and it’s a good strategy, as USA has the more talented forward game. It worked for Japan last Olympics, but not this time, as USA goes for the medals.

There's a generation of voting youth who do get it(it's really easy to understand, just watch and listen with a bit of common sense) and they are totally comprehending Trump/Vance being weird as it becomes viral memes and real life comedy. They're not laughing with you, they're laughing at you.

Posted in: Trump questions whether Harris is 'Black' at conference of Black journalists See in context
Trump is a total idiot and his cult just follows the illogic, indecency and insults to people. Whether it is Harris, and who a person is, genetically, or judging that person as an attack on their racial character, he is so wrong both in logic and narrative, support for this guy, dwindling quickly as he keeps opening his geriatric mouth, is embarrassing to anyone who speaks english as a first language.
This argument around here about liberals this, libs that has nothing to do with all the wrongs and lies said by MAGA.
They simply support any Trump problem and use 'lib' as if it is a cuss word for anything negative. It isn't. In fact 'liberal' isn't the issue, at all. It's an immature and juvenile gotcha world of silliness to so weakly use a blanket word for their own dissatisfaction (and ignorance). MAGA wants narrative in their arguments. They don't want facts, information and truths.
Harris uses facts, information and truths (and communicative abilities) that Trump does not. It's why he is reneging on debating her. She'd decimate his latest words on her, as well as everything he lies about and with his age showing greatly, he knows he can't go thru a debate without anger, losing his mind. Him being a blowhard coward, will find an excuse not to debate Harris.
There was interview on Fox with Pete Buttigieg where he made a point on fact and asked the interviewer and audience to look it up. The interviewer said, 'we're not going to do that'. That's the ignorance and narrative of MAGA led Fox and other completely one sided Trump world. They don't want to find all the facts, only the one's that might fit their lies.
Can you image if Buttigieg was the VP candidate, (and would be a great one)? MAGA would explode over a mixed race woman and a gay man leading the USA. Trump wouldn't be able to contain himself from saying non sensical insults of which maybe...maybe some MAGA cultists wake up to and realize how wrong, deranged, stupid and wrong MAGA is. Yes, very racist and bigoted.
MAGA will be over by November, as clearly the pendulum has moved away from an apathy of Biden/Trump to Kamala power rising.
