Which is why the Trump audio of "grabbing them by the" unmentionables should have been instantly disqualifying.

America has lost its honour and is no longer trustworthy on the world stage.

And, unfortunately, you are speaking the truth. Thank you 💝 I really appreciate our friends to the North.

We are sympathetic. Americans must be horrified at what is happening to their beloved county.

It's an intentional act to dismantle the federal component of our democratic system. Which we pay into with our tax dollars, yet we will not benefit from. It really leaves the states at a disadvantage, especially the red states. They just don't understand the consequences.

This is how it felt with the Biden Administration the last year and now it’s full blown dumpster fire. People accepting and supporting a genocide to grind down our humanity. It’s been a difficult 2 years.

The MSM has been NORMALIZING Trump that way. They, AND THE GOP MEMBERS OF CONGRESS are all enabling him. Don't even get me started on the SCOTUS Justices that deserve to be tarred and feathered.

Yeah, honestly feel like half of DC has been lobotomized, so much misinformation here!

I'm convinced it's a zombie brain virus, so...we may be on to something.

We in Australia are watching the Australian Government acquiescence to Trump as the worker's union movement sits quietly. And, an Opposition promising to be just like Trump's Administration as their election promise.

A.Moxon panel on sweep of Nazis?Once thought this of Zionists to Hitler's Nazis as any excuse will do when a gun is pointed your way,BUT not after Oct8th genocide
Repeated IOF massacres Pre Oct7th&after was on their way,Hamas acts never mattered,

they were scapegoats
Zionists mass homocides were on the way&Palestinians resisting but without weaponsnutevery way possible to stop IOF slaughter that shattered Palestinians&supporters hearts alike

What does this mean? Are you a bot?

It may take one big thing, but it certainly doesn't take less than 10 years.
The little things don't arrive suddenly on a stormy cloud.
When you see democracy faltering, it means the damage has already reached bone marrow while the everyday people were sleeping their happy sleeps.

We had written evidence of this coming all the way back in 1971 with the Powell memo. This madness has been brewing for a while.

It's The US' original sin. These paleocons are direct proud descendants of the anti-Reconstruction Redeemers.

The Powell Memo is right at the root of so much evil that has taken place in America over the past 50+ years. Thanks for posting about it.

I am not sure why a government employee might want this excerpt from a vintage CIA manual on slowing and confusing big bureaucracies. https://www.dropbox.com/t/alfQpOZbBb2GdVVA
