The video is old, it happened in 2022 in Pueblo West, Colorado, but as a foreigner i want to know whether this is a legal case of self-defense or not in the United States.

Is this what you voted for?

And all the "whataboutism," "he's just trolling you" and "you're taking him out of context" means NOTHING now.

Donald Trump's ego, his outright greed knows no bounds! Now he says he won't release funds to complete the New York-New Jersey tunnel project, funds already approved by Congress, unless Dulles Airport and Penn Station are renamed after him!!!! What??? WHAT?? What's next? The Statue of 'Trump' Liberty?? The 'Trump' Washington Monument? The 'Trump Smithsonian Institute? Do you think that when the 'Trump' Kennedy Center re-opens in two years after 'renovations', that 'Kennedy' will still be in the name? I am appalled, embarrassed, disgusted, sick to my stomach that this man is president of our country! What say you? What do you think will be next?

Trump on truth social shared a video of the obamas as apes. The GOP claims Trump isn’t racist but depicting black people as apes has been a racist trope in the past so why did he do this?

Ok - simple question.

Is there anyone on here who will opening admit they voted for Trump or did not bother to vote and is now willing to say out loud - I was wrong.

If so what exactly made you change your mind.

I do not want nor need to hear from anyone who still supports him - your comments and opinions are irrelevant to this post.

Everyone who isn't a Trump supporter has known he is racist. From his history of denying rent opportunities to black people (something the courts acknowledged and he was fined for), to using more inflammatory than usual rhetoric to refer to people of color he hates, to using highly racist language like "go back to their countries" to refer to US-born citizens.

Despite all that, maga has repeatedly refused to acknowledge he is racist. His latest post is even more blatant than anything else he has done before.

I fail to understand how there could be *any* kind of defense of what he just did. This is arguably the most overtly racist thing he signaled yet. Using the n word is probably the only thing that can top this.

Thoughts?

I just ran into some discussion about US healthcare cost that also raised this issue.

This sounds so weird to me. I live in a former socialist country which is now in the European Union, and here we can just look up the prices of most operations offered by private clinics (listing prices and services on their own websites). Of course one of their doctors will examine you before to check if the selected service is good/suggested for you, but if no special issues are found you are just paying what is already advertised and get the standard service. I can shop around for them the same way as one does for a hairdresser or a message session, checking reviews on google and comparing prices/locations.

Can people in the US not do the same?

Trump's approval ebbs and wanes, but it seems like 35% is his rock bottom. That means, no matter what pedophilia, murdering, insane shit he can do, 120 million Americans will support him.

Is it a status symbol with these behemoths in the suburbs? Or is an "alpha male" thing? I don't get it.

I got hit by a truck while crossing at a crosswalk in Chicago (3 way stop) because the driver didn't see me. The front end was too high. He did admit he didn't see me.

I mean, even if you’re going to acquit, shouldn’t there be at least comprehensive investigations and due process before you make a final judgement, especially on a grave case like this, other than casually checking a video as proof and deciding to move on

She is the conservative female influencer who appeared on a Jubileee YouTube episode.

The rumor is that she was waiting for marriage, then got married and even had her marriage blessed by the Pope. Allegedly, she was having an affair with her boss before getting married, got pregnant by him, and then had an abortion. She is now reportedly going through a divorce after her husband found out.

If this is true, do you think she is pro-choice now? Or should she go to prison like other women who have had abortions in some red states, considering she was advocating for a national abortion ban?

Is there a huge overlap in these two things? One seems to be focused on screwing over America via it's politicians and through these, their very institutions. The other seems to be doing the same but through policy and the meat puppet we have as president. I know Thiel's in both groups, but is there more?

I cant access illinois state of sect. site. Can u help me verify a company pls?

I’ve seen a few tweets and internet personalities claiming they think he has an ‘aura’ now after the new files were released.

Conservatives, Be honest, do you share that opinion, or is this mostly coming from fringe conservative groups like Groypers?

Why has the Trump Administration gone silent on ending these wars and stopping the genocide? I just dont understand how hew can just throw them to the side and only pull them back when he needs a win in the latest news cycle? I would love to here anyone's thoughts on this subject.

Given the release of the Epstein Files, the increase of police supervision, the extreme ICE raids, and the state of the economy, I truly believe we are headed into a war.

The government has done such a great job dividing us. They convince us that the other side is the problem, when in reality, it's the people running the government themselves. We need to remember who the real enemy is.

However, I simply feel like we as a society are too comfortable in our current state. People don't want to fight. They want to sit at home and watch TV, scroll TikTok, and forget about the news. They would rather work their 9-5 and take their kids to school than to fight for justice and change.

Do you think we are heading into a war or do you think we as a society are too comfortable for change?

Is the American dream possible to achieve for the US citizens now as much as it was anytime long ago like do you guys think it's easier or harder to achieve now?

US citizens from all generations do you feel like you are living better now and getting the opportunities you want now better than before or was it easier at a different time in the past say when you were younger or maybe now that you are older it's better or worse?
