I wouldn’t feel safe going to the US right now. I have no guarantee that my rights would be respected. It’s just a matter of time where a tourist is sent to El Salvador to prison.

It's truly unbelievable, isn't it. It illustrates the degree to which people are truly a slave to their impulses and delusions. No external factors will ever reform this guy, and it's really a sad thing to watch a person trapped in their own kind of hell.

I love this comment. You put into words what I've been trying to convey to others. Thank you.

I believe that all concentrations of power are potentially dangerous because you never know into what hands that concentration of power is being put. Too often it's concentrated in the hands of those personality types of the dark triad: narcissists, machiavellians, psychopaths. Those people should never have any authority or control over any human beings, and they should be prohibited from being in powewful positions. They are far too dangerous, and I believe that most of our world problems derive from these personality types.

Misogyny becomes so normalized and institutionalized in a culture that even women sometimes do things and vote against their own best interests. It wouldn't surprise me if there were a surprisingly high number of women who voted no.

Case in point, how many Christian conservative women vote against a women's right to chose whether to carry a child to full term?

How is this not inciting violence and hatred?

A large segment of the population don't understand the difference between a fact, an opinion, and a belief.

I wish more people thought like you do. This is exactly how we go here.

The Americans had better get really serious about saving their democracy because it's about to run off of a cliff. If Trump gets reelected, he's going to go after democrats HARD.

I don't believe this for one second. I haven't heard anything from the Ukraine administration that would suggest in any way that they are interested in peace talks. In fact, their recent choice of putting a Crimean Tatar as the Minister of Defence suggests that they are serious about taking Crimea back from Russia. I hear nothing but absolute resolve by both the Weat and Ukraine to keep fighting until a Ukraine victory.

People... it clearly says that it's a Beta. Give it time!

I'm glad to see that there are alternatives emerging outside of corporate hands.

The important thing is that she stuck to her principles. :/

I believe that there is an active conspiracy to destroy the USA from within and this is proof of that. Follow the money and you'll uncover who is behind it. My guess, China, Russia and maybe some Oligarchs around that.
