Not for this. I will allow it to play out in the courts, as it should.
As far as discerning the truth goes, I’ve come to take everything I read on mainstream media outlets with a grain of salt. They’ve demonstrated themselves to be quite unreliable, wouldn’t you agree?
Independent media presents the same conundrum. All a person can do is take in the information that’s available, then reach their own conclusion.
Living in Lewiston makes the policy results of a Harris administration impossible for me to ignore. I’m willing to bet a few courts cases on stopping that, and we did at the national level.
It is criminal what they’ve done to the people who live here.
I can’t think of a faster way of getting this before the Supreme Court than get the lower courts involved. Why get outraged? Let our Constitution function as it should.
As an Originalist, there is room to interpret the 14th Amendment different than it was and has been interpreted in the lower courts.
I don’t disagree. With proper open dialogue it should be relatively easy to compare arguments. Of course political debate gets heated and things will get more complicated, but I’m all for open discussion.
In my country we don’t have similar problems. Some conspiracy people will claim accusations when you’ll ask for evidence, but generally the discussion is open.
In US the media seems to be more divided between political parties, which is a huge part of the problem.
I remember reading great article how scientific and political arguments differ. First is discussion about the subject with defined consepts. Politics are murky on purpose, and focus on winning instead of finding solutions.
But of course science is not free of politics, nothing ever is.
Politics have always been murky and always will be to a degree, but through the election of Donald J. Trump it appears as though we’re reaching a level of clarity previously unimaginable.
Of course, it remains a possibility that Bernie Sanders is right for the first time in his life, and Elon Musk and Donald Trump are plotting to overthrow Our Democracy and steal all of our money.
How someone can conclude that to be true, and be confident in it, is particularly perplexing to me in 2025.
As far as I know it’s something in between. Will US be a democracy after 4 next years? Most likely.
Is Trump just one corrupt politician? Most likely.
I don’t agree Trumps politics for the most part, but I’m not a US citizen and I’m not an expert of US inner politics. I’m waiting to be pleasantly proven wrong after couple years.
Ps. As for us Europeans, he looks pretty unhinged dude. Also Musks participation is worrying.
You were the one who said you would “join the mob”…
Of course i didnt imagine there would be an actual mob (or that you would even join it honestly)
I suppose the most I was hoping for was a “huh… I guess I don’t support that” but even that, after you said violating the constitution was your line in the sand, was a bridge too far
I already said it wasn’t a good thing for him to post, in my opinion.
I just don’t jump to conclusions when I lack information, nor do hone in one whatever spotlight the known propagandists tell me is the next great crisis of Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, the evidence I’m seeing indicates to me that I’ve never been more correct about a single vote I’ve ever cast.
There’s no propaganda though. Just trumps actions and quotes themselves. He even has said in the past that the constitution should be voided in some circumstances (in that instance the magic voter fraud that cost him the election)
You said him trying to violate the constitution would be your line in the sand, and when a judge said he was blatantly doing so all you can do is shrug and say it’s no big deal cause he got stopped
So we have a guy who says the constitution should be void, and is attempting g to violate with executive orders… and it’s crickets
The tweet is a whole separate issue, but it sure seems to be teeing up some illegal activity or the discovery of previous activity. He had several court cases cancelled upon his election that likely would have exposed some attempts at “saving the country” , and one imagines even more is to come but I won’t accuse him of anything until it happens
These sort of narratives are kind of difficult for me to believe when I have stood in line to vote on the third round of a single-question up or down school budget vote and was the only person in line who did not require the aid of a translator to participate. In a state that requires US Citizenship to vote in any election.
Maine Democrats want us to believe that the sudden outpouring of civic participation IN ROUND 3 from people who don’t speak English but somehow became US citizens was a normal thing. Anyone questioning it was called a racist, including by our local newspaper.
Give me a break. I’m not having it.
Given everything I’ve written about Lewiston in this thread alone, is it really that difficult to comprehend why I would never, in a million years, vote for more?
Perhaps you guys will be proven correct, and this whole illusion I’m perceiving will come crashing down, along with the USA as I know it. I’m not reading the tea leaves that way at all.
I am entirely unsurprised you have reached that understanding living in Finland. A lot of American tax dollars were spent to help you arrive at that understanding.
In politics, it is always necessary to ask “Compared to what?”.
Right now, nobody from the Trump Administration has tried to get me to take an experimental medical treatment in order to keep my job at a federal contractor.
A shot that the experts all said would work while suggesting the people who didn’t want it were sociopathic monsters.
