I think for now on, anyone who is going to post a picture of Trump should do this. I don’t like looking at his face, and I’m sure you guys don’t either. What do you think? 🔄

This is as easy a test of your belief in the American system as is conceivable: Should this be an acceptable argument from a president?

don't always agree with the Mormon church policies or politics, but got to hand it to these elected officials.

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox draws on teachings from his Mormon faith to “disagree better.” Studies show his approach could change public attitudes.

It is unfortunately interesting to note that Trump will pardon a convicted drug trafficker (former Honduran president) and yet be fine with semi-legal strikes on boats (which may or may not be drug traffickers).

So we can blow out of the water (twice sometimes) purported smuggler boats but free a convicted drug kingpin?
How much money was passed under the table for this to happen?

Interesting insight.
Also every time mass communication changes things go insane. Printing press made people believe in witches around every corner, newspapers ginned up racial panics, radio comes around and bang fascism follows, etc etc.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.
