Dugan did the right thing.
ICE is criminal since they do not use judicial due process, and it is illegal to deport someone in the midst of a court situation.

The reasons people voted for Trump were partly sympathy since the lawfare against Trump previously was awful, and because Biden was doing so badly by financing hundreds of billions to the war in the Ukraine and to Israel.
With lawfare, there is nothing illegal about paying hush money, and presidents can keep all the copies of classified docs they want.
The voters did not know Trump was about to unleash ICE and tariff whole countries.

Because if Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine, Ukraine would have invaded and assimilated Crimea?


You present the war hawk argument from the Kremlin about as well as they do.
There is another perspective.
I suspect, if God descended, and offered Russia to the U.S., the E.U., or NATO, with absolute zero strings attached, there wouldn't have been any takers.
We've got our own problems.

The US always tries to put nukes on Russia's border.
We did it in Turkey in 1957 and in Poland in 2011.

We are always trying to steal more, like after we invaded Iraq, we forced them to let us sell all their oil for them, at a 50% commission.
Why else would we being blowing up or capturing Venezuelan boats and ships if we were not intent on stealing their oil too?

I kind of liked Colin Powell, but he was such a liar.
The fake drawing images or Tora Bora were wonderful, but total lies.
He actually said that Iraq was only weeks away from nuclear weapons.

Biden may have won the Dem. nom. BUT !
On election day Trump wasn't running against Biden. Trump was running against Harris.
Trump voters didn't vote against Biden. They voted against Harris.

You think Trump was treated unfairly by the U.S. judicial system? Do you know how many lawsuits Trump has battled in his life?
According to the reports I've read, thousands, before Trump ever took public office.
For all I know, Trump may not only have had more lawsuits than any other U.S. president, but perhaps more than all the others combined.

And if it were really about expelling dangerous illegal alien violent criminals, how do you explain:

Kilmar Abrego Garcia freed from US immigration detention, returns home​

Trump administration says it will appeal ruling in case that has come to symbolise the ongoing crackdown on migrants.

Harris never said much, so the assumption was more of the same as under Biden.
Which was not good, with the high prices from illegal sanctions on Russia, huge payments to the Ukraine and Israel, etc.

While Trump is very bold and pushes up to the line more than most would be willing to risk, the charges against him seemed wrong.
For example, there is nothing remotely illegal about hush money.
Most people would not have needed it or have hidden it better, but the prosecution by Letitia James was illegal.
When president, Trump also had free reign over classified docs, including the ability to give himself all the copies he wanted.
The number of lawsuits only shows lack of concern, not that he was making mistakes.

Everyone knew Trump wanted to close the border, but I bet everyone though he was going to do it all legally.
Instead he authorized ICE to violate the law by not using judicial due process for raids, arrests, or deportation.
The Kilmar example should have lead to massive prosecutions of the whole hierarchy of ICE that was involved in his kidnapping and imprisonment.
It is not like he had ever even been charged with a crime.
Trump is ignoring what had been normal procedure, like anchor babies, anchor spouses, etc.
I do not know what Trump supporters expected, but I find it shocking.

With tariffs, the normal idea is you use them to counter tariffs on our products in other countries.
That is a good idea.
But instead Trump put blanket tariffs on whole countries, which means higher prices on things we do not even make in the US.
And that not only makes no sense, but greatly raises prices for all consumers, and is what lead to the Great Depression.

So neither party seems to make any sense or have any reasonable plans.

“...Reince Priebus, the Republican National Chairman today said that 300K jobs ... aught to be expected every month ... and just a historical perspective:

-during the 8 years of President Bush (younger) there were 2.1 million net jobs created in the United States. Of the 2.1 million, 1.8 million of them were in the public sector ... that means there were 300,000 jobs in the private sector in 8 months, in 8 years rather,net ...
more jobs have been created in the United States in the last 4 years than in Europe, Japan, all the industrialized modern world combined. ...
70 years since WWII. 36 years of Republican presidents, 34 years of Democratic presidents.

Not really.
I do all my own accounting, and you can legally put down almost any labels on entries you want.
The only time it is actually controlled by law is if you take money that should be taxable, and put it under a label that is not taxable.
Trump's accountants labeled the hush money as business expenses that could then be written off.
That is fair, since if he had not paid the hush money, he would have lost the election and have lost that income otherwise.
It was a reasonable business expense, just like any promotional cost.
And it is not at all illegal to hide hush money payments.
Personal privacy alone would be sufficient justification.
He really did pay out the money and did not get to spend it, so it was a valid deduction.

Around 2020, the price of oil spiked from around $20/barrel to around $53/barrel, due to illegal economic sanctions on Russian oil, by Biden.
https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-chart

I do not know why Biden did this, since it did nothing for the war in the Ukraine, and it was a violation of the Geneva Conventions.
But since Trump is still also sanctioning Russian oil, it is not really a partisan thing.
It just was a big reason why people voted against the Biden policies they thought Harris would have continued.
 
This is what happens when you put an anti-vaxxer heroin addict in charge of American health care policy

1766320903143.png

We. Are. Not. Denmark. Adopting their vaccine recommendations will put kids here at risk, yet this is what Kennedy will announce soon.

"Denmark has universal single-payer healthcare, a national registry called the CPR that tracks every resident from birth, greater than 99% prenatal screening coverage, and near-zero loss to follow-up. When a pregnant woman in Denmark tests positive for hepatitis B, the system ensures her infant gets
vaccinated. The failure rate approaches zero.

The United States has none of this."

We have many un/under insured. We have a population in NYC alone that exceeds all of Denmark's. You can't just take their schedule and think it's optimal for our population.

Its complicated.
I am not enough of an expert to be sure, but one thing for sure is that most of the experts can't be trusted.
All the experts should have known that the mRNA could not possibly have worked as a vaccine in any way, and that it was a highly dangerous mistake.
The mRNA just reprogrammed our own cell ribosomes to start growing spike proteins that would cause our immune system to then attack.
One problem with that is if the mRNA then got to important cells, like the brain or heart, you would die.
But an even more fundamental flaw is that covid has spike proteins because it is mimicking out own exosomes, that use a single spike protein in order to get ACE2 receptors in our cells, to open for them.
Which means spike proteins can not be used to identify a pathogen.
If they could, then our immune system would attack our own exosomes and we would die.
So the whole mRNA concept was completely ridiculous from the start.

So why are other vaccines risky?
Immunity is stored in T-cells from the bone marrow and collected in the Thymus gland.
These cells only live about 5 years.
So then how does immunity last as long as 50 years?
Immunity lasts because somehow T-cells append immunity information onto the DNA of their cell, and it gets cloned when they reproduce.
But that implies a small number of immunities will work more reliably than a large number.
A few immunities like 3 or 4 are highly likely to work, but something like 20 immunities are very unlikely to work, and instead cause autoimmune diseases or cancers,
And that is the incentive for countries like Denmark to minimize immunizations.

I do not know enough to tell if it could work in the US as well as it does in Denmark.
But many things we do are obviously wrong and just to milk profit.
Like annual flu vaccines, which almost never work because there actually are hundreds of different flu pathogens, and they almost never guess right on which one to anticipate for this year.

Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes based on two proteins on the surface of the virus: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). There are 18 hemagglutinin subtypes and 11 neuraminidase subtypes (H1 through H18 and N1 through N11, respectively).

And it's more complicated than that, when types, sub-types, clades & sub-clades are included.

In order to make that statement and be even the least bit credible you have to know an awful lot about the subject.

All the experts should have known that the mRNA could not possibly have worked as a vaccine in any way, and that it was a highly dangerous mistake.

So now you're claiming that you're an expert and know more about the subject than the doctors and scientists who actually work in the field. And that's contradicted by your earlier claim that you're "not enough of an expert".

So why are other vaccines risky?
