People are upset a parent uses SNAP to get a child an occasional soda or candy bar but don't care that billionaires write off luxury jets and super yachts. Why can't we write off our cars we use to drive to work? The US has no public transportation for the most part

no-one is saying that Americans are unaware that things are crazy. the point is that quite a lot of American pundits seem to be treating Greenland as a standard Trump escalation or distraction which can be easily moved on from or undone, and it's important to understand why that isn't the case
I am not here for Europeans telling me Americans don't know how crazy things are. The Nazis are killing people over here at the moment so we're busy but thanks for the input. I had hoped for solidarity but I suppose I'll have to settle for sneering condescension instead.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

3 months ago billionaire Paul Singer bought Citgo, the former US arm of Venezuela’s state-run oil company
Citgo owns 3 Gulf Coast refineries built to process Venezuelan crude that have suffered from the US embargo
If Trump lifts that embargo, Singer will receive a huge windfall
Corruption. Again.

I can’t get over the absurdity of attacking a foreign nation to steal its natural resources, deposing and kidnapping its corrupt leader, then extorting the Nobel Peace Prize winning opposition leader into handing over their prize in exchange for…peace? Absolutely bananas.

Why do ICE agents carry guns?
Not one single report of them being shot at!!
Not one single story about apprehending anyone with a gun!!
Take the weapons away from the untrained, unrestrained, incompetent agents. Do it for public safety.
