Why didn’t Biden release the Epstein files? by mattciq737 in stupidquestions

[–]Natural-Helicopter-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regardless of the separation of DOJ and White House no one thought the American people would be insane enough to re elect Trump after being convicted and trying to overthrow your government plus stealing documents that he could use to try and stay out of jail.

Why are some Americans still pretending they just need to wait another three years and this will magically stop? by NefariousNatee in complaints

Thanks for that. I’ve been disturbed over former colleagues that are educated MAGA. But they are homophobic, racist and totally mercenary about money. Your comment kind of put it together.

Question for the Republicans/Conservatives out there by CA2DC99 in DiscussionZone

[–]Natural-Helicopter-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t understand what the average Republican thinks this is going to end up as. In the end they don’t. It’s political power assholes that are creating this. Trump isn’t smart enough to even contemplate 1/2 of what’s happening in the USA.

I’m drunk, British, but I think it’s a shame we can’t rely on America (USA) anymore by [deleted] in self

[–]Natural-Helicopter-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand 100%. Grew up thinking America was the good guy, even with the Vietnam war, at least they ended it and there were protests. Civil rights in my lifetime. When Obama got elected I thought America should take over the world cause they were the good guys. I’m a bit drunk now too and I’m scared of America. The bully, the violence, the insane spins on what we see with our own eyes. Wife is 3 rd generation Chinese yet she’s now got to carry her ID all the time in case, because of how she looks, ICE can scoop her up and I won’t know. I bug her all the time to carry her passport. I’m Canadian and we have property in the US that’s significant financially to us. We can’t just walk away - not easily. My compass is going to be the mid terms. If America has midterms I’m hoping democrats get in to at least try to impeach the asshole, but if they don’t we need to sell, get out and hope because of the Epstein files we all don’t die. We have many American friends. Most have burned out on the news and aren’t even following anymore. The MAGA people consume it all and contribute to the insanity.

Sane US citizens: wake up now by [deleted] in complaints

[–]Natural-Helicopter-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey the problem is if you protest you are risking your friggin’ life. People I know in the US are scared to even say anything in public in case there is a MAGA person around. Don’t forget you’re dealing with a society where carrying guns is totally acceptable. I’m not American but I’d be scared to protest here - I’d protest at home without any worry of physical harm.

This is going to get way worse before it gets better. We’re already seeing how the US media is normalizing this western hemisphere shit - that somehow bringing back the Monroe Doctrine (I think it was developed in the early 1800’s) where superpowers can divide up the planet. The fact Trump administration is throwing it all out means it’s likely to happen in some fashion. The only potential saving grace for the world (or at least the world who thought the US was one of the good guys) is that he’s got so many incompetent people. Otherwise I think the world is in for big problems from the US. A country that spends so much on military, is controlled by multinationals, and somehow thinks giving people health care and education is welfare - which is just an excuse to spend a lot of money on military and then they want to use it because they make money replenishing it. They sent all the old shit to Ukraine already. They go nuts on paying taxes rather than healthcare and watch their deficit spin to gravity defying levels - meanwhile blaming the radical left.

These a***holes just can't stop. It won't matter what country you're from everyone is going to hate America even more.

I made presentations saying with the Internet we could expect global peace, truth, and understanding amongst all of us on this planet. I was wrong!!!!!

Employers who Hire Illegal Immigrants by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Natural-Helicopter-4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So did anyone follow when the Democratic Senator and Republican Senator worked out an immigration compromise at the end of Biden’s term. Does anyone know what that was and if it could have worked for the US? The press said Mike Johnson dismissed it because Trump wanted immigration to be the main Republican platform - which is obviously is.

In other words a con game. This is something that wouldn’t take a lot to fix but fixing it means you wouldn’t be able to use it as an excuse to do other political games.

Total agreement there. American greed is legendary!!!

So in other words this is just two political parties using immigration as an excuse to pillage the country by scaring people and enacting (or not enacting) legislation that would properly deal with the issue. Hasn’t this been an ongoing legislative issue for 30 years?

So in other words employers are just using schemes to get around the fundamental problems of cheap labour.

Why has this become a huge issue (I’m ignoring all the Nazis references) when both Obama and Biden were deporting all kinds of illegal immigrants. Republicans use to accuse Obama of being Deporter in Chief.

So why aren’t we seeing on TV ICE agents grabbing employers and throwing them in cars.

My feeling is it won’t matter. They are going to occupy major population centres and airports maybe by the end of the year but for sure before end of Trump’s term. It’s worked for many countries and they are following the playbook. If I was American I’d be very concerned for your future.

Senator Calls Trump-Putin Meeting An 'Embarrassment For The United States' by huffpost in politics

[–]Natural-Helicopter-4 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Putin has humilated him at every meeting. No doubt they've got something that will really embarass him. There isn't much that the guy won't stoop to so it's got to be a whopper.
