I just want to know if you are on the same page.Trump doesn't want to make any deal with Canada, he simply wants Canada to fail because of the obscene level of wokeness they have reached.To me, Canada has much more to lose in this dispute because the US is the best trade partner they could ask for a

Christian Nationalism is political ideology that asserts the US government is defined by Christianity and it should actively preserve and promote it. The Constitution is a secular document that makes no mention of any specific religion and explicitly rejects religious privilege within the 1st amendm

If you do not live in the U.S., this post is of no effect to you. Your commentary is, never the less, invited, because this issue is a worldwide concern. What's wrong with insisting AI be controlled by U.S. congressional legislation? Because we already have an enshrined Constritution with Article I,

We all know this was coming up. Mandamni was only the beginning.We are seeing more socialist candidates running in the Democratic Party and more Democrats voting for them, contrary to what many Democrat posters here think about it. So, I was always right when I said that the Democratic Party was get

Both sides are not the same, but I also think that if you unironically strictly believe that one political faction is 100% right and another is 100% wrong, you're part of the problem. The statement "one side is literal nazis and one side wants free healthcare" has done more harm to the democrats tha

I used to be one of those "both sides" trash libertarians so I'll give my view. I was just starting to deprogram from a very alt-right raising. Blatantly nazi type raising, anti semitism, a lynching happened when I was in high school, my hometowns Google search is nothing to be proud of. Anyway, I w

1. It Directly Violates the U.S. Constitution The core mission of Christian nationalism—to legally and politically privilege Christianity—directly contradicts the foundational law of the United States.The Establishment Clause: The very First Amendment of the Constitution explicitly states, "Congress

El Sayed is taking a walk-back tour to apologize to Jews in MI. That will have the effect of walking back the few fractional percentage points by which he won the primary.Typical Democrat Party strategy: be sure every platform plank has its antithesis.Good plan.

I dont know a lot how value added taxes work but I know many other developed countries use that a lot more than we do. Which affects even lower income people. I know I dont like the idea of an income tax on below average income but a property tax or value added tax or some sort of sales tax could wo

The Democratic Party's "Big Tent" is ripping. Three big rips, in fact, at least, and there are tributaries from the main rips as divergent as are the Party factions. One rip dates from the day the Party decided to put Biden out to pasture one month prior to the National Convention, in July of '24.

For an event that occurred 5.5 years ago on Jan 6, Democrats have been fixated ever since. It is really much older than 2021 because, without using that word, they began their campaign against DJT in 2014, upon his firing from NBC's "The Apprentice.""Insurrection" became the qualifier of all Democra

The 6-3 SCOTUS decision in Trump v. Barbara [2026], the case re: Trump's E.O. to end birthright citizenship misread the language of the 14th Amendment's clause 1, called the "citizenship clause." The 14A was ratified in 1868, after its introduction to the Senate by Senator Jacob Howard [R-IL] in 186

El Saed el said billionaires should not make money on their money. Really? Really. Granted, investment is a privilege, not a right. Got to have money to invest it. But no current law of the land prohibits anyone from investment. Do you think otherwise? Does Sharia law prevent it?Asking for a friend.

This is what he said:It's not a secret I disagree with the prime minister [Satanyahu]. I think targeted assasinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night, not just those who pose an inmediate threat. There are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn't live.

The quote is by Gustavo Gordillo, co-Chair of the NYC-DSA. It is a throwback to Barry Oba'a, who said in 2010, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." It is a communist anthem to limit personal profit, which would be signal that anyone ought to consider the sky as the only personal

Peggy Flanagan, current Lt. Gov of MN [and as whacko as her milktoast Governor], and wannabe DSA Governor, went through a litany of questions about her political platform. Asked if healthcare ought to be universally applied to all, she replied in the affirmative, using the example of gender fluidity

This is reaching back a bit, but the thought didn't occur to me until now. I was seeing a post about Trump's ear healing quickly being evidence that the shooting in Pennsylvania was fake. Now, for the shooting to be fake, the poster was totally willing to accept the following as reasonable:(a) Trump
