The "libtard regime" isn't breaking the law 24/7,
nor are they pissing on The Constitution.

The Biden administration was democratically elected,
and acted democratically the whole term of Biden.
They pulled your country out of the Covid crisis.
Trump was elected due to him lying 24/7 and cheating.
There is also good evidence that they rigged election machines to help him win. He should have already been sent to prison for his attempt to steal the election, but this is another crime that he should be investigated for. Then he needs to go to prison, with all his conspirators.

You cannot name anything real that would make the Biden a failure.
If you say 'inflation', thinking that's an argument, Trump is WORSE.
Also, Biden didn't cause that high inflation, Trump IS causing it now.
Trump made the dollar drop 10% in nine months. That's the fastest drop since George W. Bush's first administration (2001-2005), where the dollar fell by over 40% relative to the euro from its peak in October 2000.
Republicans are fuck-ups, all of them, and Trump is the worst.

Your last paragraph is utterly irrelevant, idiot. It doesn't make a difference for Trump being an utter fool and criminal.

Exactly! Why am I always telling you about fallacies?

I'm not allowing that political discussion here. This topic is about science and education, not about politics.

Oh sure, the least violent protests ever are a problem,
but Trump sending the national guard to American cities is not.
He's saying it's an 'emergency' and you are saying everything is fine.
That's you telling me clearly that you know Trump is lying.

They are holding "no kings" protests, because Trump is giving himself more power than any president and king since the 1700's ever had in the US.
It's the exact thing that the founding fathers tried to prevent.
They intended for the Legislative branch (Congress) to make laws, the Executive branch (President) to enforce laws and the Judicial branch (Courts)
to interpret laws. Trump wants to nullify them all and BE the law.

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”
“A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.”

Are you one of those people, who is saying "maybe we’d like a dictator"?

Sure, you don't have a government job.
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
This is applicable to a whole lot of things you deny the existence of.

I was talking about this: "no you got that wrong. there were no rights
until someone brain washed people into thinking they had some".
You are calling your founding fathers "someone brain washed people".

You want to reject the one most important idea that makes us human,
the ability to make moral choices. The invention of human rights is one
of the most important moral choices that humanity ever made.
It's a moral choice that Christianity never accomplished.
Still, all religions propose an idea of "Universal Human Dignity".
It looks to me that you even reject that.

When did Trump say anything like that your life is worth a lot?
I'm not asking about your value to the economy or to him,
but just your value as a sentient being with hopes and dreams,
and him recognizing that every human being has that value.

I know he values your loyalty, but stand up to his demand for loyalty once
and you are worth less than a cockroach to him. Tell me I'm wrong.

I don't know, but that doesn't impede me to argue about it.

I agree, but this influencer is telling people that they are not.
It was a treasure trove of logical reasoning errors.

I only like carrots raw in farmer salade. It's what we call bread salade with thin strips
of white cabbage, carrot and celery.

Funny how you're a complete individualist and proponent of personal responsibility on almost every issue, except on the issue of consuming some chemicals or biological agent to experience some temporary buzz, with the risk of getting addicted. Why isn't this people's own responsibility? It cannot be the harm to society, because you support lots of other issues that are dependent on people's personal responsibility for it to not harming society.

Fire ants are a part of nature. They were here before humanity, and they serve an important role in the balance of nature. Find a way to co-exist with them.

Which ideas of authoritarianism do you not agree with?
I see Trump agreeing with all of them. Below is a complete list of characteristics of authoritarianism. They all fit Trump like a glove, and I've never seen you disagree with Trump on anything. You only argue against them with whataboutisms, but never by disagreeing with Trump when he clearly represents them or moves towards them.

Since when do I dodge agreeing with socialism? I AM a socialist.
What I do not agree with is your ignorant straw-man of socialism.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete and commonly accepted set of authoritarian traits:
- Concentration of executive power (weak checks and balances).
- Erosion of the rule of law (selective enforcement, immunity for loyalists).
- Weak or manipulated elections (e.g., delegitimizing results, changing rules).
- Suppression or delegitimization of opposition (political parties, movements, critics).
- Restriction of civil liberties (press, speech, association).
- Delegitimization or erosion of independent institutions (courts, civil service).
- Use of state power to entrench incumbency (patronage, coercion, legal manipulation).
- Dehumanization of opponents / nationalist or exclusionary rhetoric.
- Glorification of “strong leaders” / personalist rule.
- Exceptionalism or “higher cause” justification (e.g. “If it saves the nation, anything is allowed”).
- Militarization or paramilitary tolerance (use or endorsement of violence to achieve political goals).
- Attacks on electoral legitimacy / peaceful transition of power.
- Control or co-optation of the bureaucracy, judiciary, and media.
- Undermining of factual truth and creation of a controlled narrative.

Look at what phart posted and how he thinks of The Constitution.
These are the people who always shouted about The Constitution the loudest.
Now they happily vote for people who tell them that their life is worth nothing.
Can you explain their thinking to me? You live among these numbskulls.

You are supporting it!

Your previous administration defended and protected your Constitution.
You are supporting treason.

Damn fool, it's impossible for me to be a traitor to America,
because I'm not an American.

I defend my own Constitution, you shit on yours.

Your American values are LIBERAL values, defined by your founding fathers.
You have them rolling over in their graves at 10,000 RPM.

I want you to vote for someone who is NOT trying their best to destroy humanity.
That's MY business too, I'm part of that humanity.

Do you understand how much people sacrificed, to give you that vote?
Poor, exploited people, all over the world, suffered and died for that right.
Then they finally found some wise people, who put their right into law and created a system to protect their right; The Constitution, and a government that was designed in a way to to protect and defend it. You, as a voter, have the responsibility towards those people, to use your vote well, and to consider its effects, on ALL the people.

When you have a choice between Biden and Trump, you vote for the lesser EVIL.
You vote for the one who respects your vote, to vote again, for better options.
Biden was in no way a threat to democracy, Trump IS, and his supporters LIKE it.
Biden didn't do enough to save humanity, but Trump is speeding up the destruction.

Yes, it's your choice, but I'm angry that you don't understand that you have a RESPONSIBILITY to at least fucking INFORM YOURSELF.
My vote doesn't affect you. If my country goes NAZI, one big nuke cures that.
If your country goes NAZI, we are ALL FUCKED!!!

Hey, Cody8789, do you have an answer?
Do you think that it's OK to say what you said, and then just bugger off?
I have come to expect more from you. Was I wrong?

Breakdown of the ~$96.7 billion total (2022):

Payroll taxes (for social insurance programs)
Social Security taxes: $25.7 B
Medicare taxes: $6.4 B

Phart, can you do any research, instead of just saying shit?
Are you afraid that you might LEARN something?

Peter Thiel is fucking crazy.

Guys like you don't want ANY modernist changes, but you are supporting THIS guy,
who wants to completely collapse the US and the world, so HE and his tech-bros
can take power. He is funding the tools of total technological control, so he can submit
the people to HIS future, where he is one of the immortal gods who control YOU.

Are you dropping everything you ever said, so you can support this fucking crazy guy, because he is a billionaire who's funding your favorite politicians?

Eh, that's r@pe, you know. If you were also under@ge, that's a horrible crime.
Maybe it was exciting in the end, but I'm sure it could have been just as exciting,
but less terrifying, if they had just seduced you (assuming you were of age).

But, the US is doing "fine".

And I DON'T, because they have proven themselves to be fucking liars.

It's a problem when you like authoritarian regimes for their authoritarianism.
There is no need for authoritarianism to keep drugs under control.
Healthy and happy people usually don't get addicted to drugs.
That the US has such a drugs problem is because life in the US SUCKS,
for most people. Your solution is making life in the US suck WORSE.

"It is not happening in the bedroom. It's happening in a store."

Maybe it's not the condoms they are embarrassed about, but the size.
When I used them, I needed XL condoms. Not for the length, but for the circumference. Of course, they don't know that, if you buy them. People think
you have a 8.5 inches schlong, while almost half isn't getting rolled out.

It didn't achieve ANY of the goals they had for Brexit.
It did create all the problems that everyone predicted.
I agree, independence is a good thing, so is COOPERATION.
The UK had a big voice in the EU. Now they are getting screwed.
That has created economic problems, resulting in poverty and crime.

My Socialist Party is a not in favor of leaving the EU, they are often classified as
'Soft Eurosceptic' or critical rather than outright oppositionist. That is, they see the EU
as having positive potential, but believe that its structure, powers, budget, and priorities need significant reform to ensure it serves people rather than big business.

Do you think they didn't think of that?
No, they FAFOed, and created organized crime, with the Prohibition.
People were just as drunk as before, but it created more problems.

You have tried it your way for DECADES. It didn't work.

It can only work, if the repression is worse than the actual problem.
Everywhere they tried it my way, it works. Less suffering, on all fronts.
And especially; more freedom. I like freedom. I don't think you do.
I wouldn't like to be frisked 10 times a day by militarized cops.
I like my streets to be clear of criminals AND COPS.

It sounds like fun, until it actually is done to you, by people who hate you.
It's only fun and games, if it's done for fun and games.
I'm sure that you can find some people who are willing to provide it,
with a happy end, instead of a painful and permanent end.

[The study, led by Wright State University analyzed data from 246 deceased drivers in Montgomery County, Ohio, between January 2019 and September 2024. It found that 41.9% had active THC in their blood, with average concentrations of 30.7 ng/mL, well above the legal driving limits in many states.

These elevated THC levels suggest recent use, as THC can impair driving by slowing reaction times, impairing coordination, and affecting judgment. The study's findings remained consistent even after Ohio legalized recreational cannabis in 2023, highlighting that legalization did not reduce the prevalence of THC in fatal crashes.

However, it's important to note that the presence of THC in a driver's system doesn't necessarily prove impairment at the time of the crash. Unlike alcohol, which has a clear legal threshold for impairment, THC's effects can vary based on individual tolerance, timing of use, and other factors. Additionally, the study did not account for other substances that may have been present, such as alcohol, prescription medications,
or other drugs, which could also contribute to impairment.]

I agree, drugs and pot are not good for your health, and they can of course be dangerous when driving under the influence. So does alcohol. Alcohol remains a leading cause of traffic-related fatalities in the United States, surpassing both illegal and legal drugs, including cannabis. However, they will never outlaw alcohol again, because they found out the hard way, that it will cause MORE problems than it will solve.
Why don't you take that knowledge and apply it to drugs and pot?

You want your right to own guns, no matter how many people it kills.
Other people want the right to use pot or the occasional line of coke.
That's called liberty. You regulate it, to reduce harm.

Legalize, tax and regulate, combined with improvement of (mental) healthcare.
That's the recipe to reduce those traffic deaths, ODs AND drugs related crime.
The fact that you don't support it, shows that YOU don't care about people's lives.

ChatGPT: "Senator Warren's assertion is correct in stating that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to Medicaid or Medicare benefits. However, it's important to note that while they are generally ineligible for these programs, they may receive emergency medical services under Medicaid if they meet other eligibility criteria."

Like I said many times: lots of undocumented immigrants are paying taxes.
If they pay into a system, they should be 'entitled' to use the system.

1) Stocks do not represent the economy, unless YOU want it to.
2) Cutting taxes for the wealthy is good for stocks, not for the working class.
3) The dollar has lost 9%–11% of its external value so far this year.
EUR/USD was 1.02 in January. It climbed to 1.18 in September.
That combined with inflation makes it 41,742.5. The real value is actually declining.
If your dollar drops 50%, you might see a Dow of 80,000. The number is useless.

Still, I just made over $1750 selling my AMD stock. I had it for avg. 1 year.
It's the last American stock that I had. Many experts expect a crash.
I'm buying Chinese stocks now (BYD and XPeng). Also looking at TSMC.

It's not strange to think that Trump is causing crashes intentionally,
so he gets lots of money from his friends making big bucks from trading.
Every time he causes a crash, he relaxes some tariffs afterwards
or he delays them some more. Then the stocks go up again.
If the stock goes down far enough, I will buy Amazon and AMD again.
I don't get the intel, but I can anticipate their moves. It's not 4D chess.
Cheating is a game for losers, but that has been Trump's strategy all along.

Trump is really hurting your economy with this trick, but that's all part of his strategy. He's destroying the government and giving control to the billionaires, with him pulling the strings (that's what he thinks, but they will eliminate him at any point when he oversteps his usefulness. He gets a heart attack and JD Vance takes over. He's a loyal dog for Peter Thiel, who wants his tech feudalism. It's very funny how the South is now serving the carpetbaggers.). In any case, they win, you lose.

The UK isn't part of Europe anymore.

It has become impossible to distinguish reality from parody.

The reason IS CHAOS. Why? Because people prefer tyranny only over chaos.
That's their end goal: TYRANNY. I guess you like that.

I can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.
I'm speaking out against fascism everywhere.

No, the US is doing far from fine.

I believe that. Liberals and lefties have some catching up to do.
If I was living in your country, I would be stocking up too.
Mass shootings are not the highest priority, if fascists are gearing up.

"The insurrectionist" Trump? Yes, I'm keeping a close eye on him.
He's doing everything that I predicted he would do.

I take the word of almost every other world leader, over the word of Trump.

Ever heard of helicopters? They could shoot out the outboard engines.
If they can blow up the boat with a missile, they can disable it or force it to stop.

If they trow out the dope, it would be ON VIDEO. We have SEEN it blow up.

Instead they blow up the evidence and expect everyone to trust them.
Fuck that, your lying regime has ZERO CREDIBILITY LEFT.
The US might be worse liars than Russia now.

Present the evidence. Is it anything like Bush had on the WMDs?

I don't do cock-shaming, I do brain shaming. His brain is pathetic.
I wouldn't mind sucking that dick, if it was part of a moral person.

You are not real Americans. People who STILL support Trump are TRAITORS.

How many times have you pledged allegiance "to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."?

You guys don't give a shit about liberty and justice for all.
You are fucking TRAITORS to America.

If you start about the "under God" part, adding that in 1954 was treason too,
to the First Amendment.

When people kill people with guns, you say
"Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

So why is there no responsibility for people to not do drugs?
"Drugs don't kill people, people who take too much of them kill themselves."

I don't support drug dealers, I want to take them out of business.
Legalize, tax and regulate some of them, ban the most dangerous drugs.
I support those policies, BECAUSE THEY WORK. Your policies DON'T.

"Wait for the evidence to surface idiot."
Are they diving for the evidence?

If a government kills people, they need to show on what evidence they did that.
They don't need an investigation, they should show the investigation that resulted
in their action.

By the way, even if they find 100 tons of cocaine, it's STILL no justification to kill them
in international waters. You're the one who should know better. It's your own law, idiot. Better protect it, or your legal protections will be violated at some point.
Correction, your legal protections are already violated. Trump is ignoring your elected representatives in Congress every single day.

"How they know will not be disclosed to a socialist like you."
They better will, because they are bringing lots of people to my camp, this way.
Trump's approval ratings are atrocious. He's the least popular president ever.
He knows he has no chance to win the midterms, so he is already working on ways
to steal the election, or not have elections at all. He's a traitor.
Everyone who supports Trump is a traitor too.

Do you want laws to protect you, when your side loses,
or will you accept what the other side thinks you deserve?

Did they present that evidence for all of these attacks?
In any case, even if they actually have drugs in the boat, as long as they
don't enter American waters, they are not yours to act against.
Also, smuggling drugs is not a capital offense.

The Trump regime is breaking many laws, plain and simple.

There are already stories from grieving widows calling it bullshit.

It's murder, plain and simple. One of the 273 reasons to impeach him.
There is just no use, because 0 Republicans will ever vote to impeach.

Every KKK member either voted for Trump or they didn't vote at all.

You are telling on yourself; if you think that the KKK would be damn hypocrites, if they voted for Obama and Kamala Harris, that's you saying that they should vote for Trump, because their ideas match with Trump's ideas. You are destroying your own point.

Just saying words like 'neo socialists', 'marxism' and 'communism', isn't arguing.
You don't have any common sense, you're just indoctrinated.
To have common sense, you first need common knowledge. You have NONE.
You have no idea what those terms mean.

The gaslighting is strong with you.

Trump is blowing up boats in open waters, without any evidence of a crime.
Trump is randomly arresting people on the streets and disappearing them.
He had ICE just clear out a whole apartment block and arrest everyone.
He's assigning the National Guard to American cities.
He's putting snipers on rooftops during demonstrations.
If the government starts killing American citizens, would it matter to you?

OMG, you stand for NOTHING. You just like Trump hurting people.

The government killing people, in open waters, without any evidence of any crime,
and you don't even know how many there were anymore. Do you like that?

The government sending the military into the streets and putting snipers on rooftops,
to keep 'the peace'.

Remember, when people put Republicans out of power, Democrats can do this too.
If you ever try a Jan 6th again, the military can shoot everyone. Agreed?

Don't cry when they put you in the Fascist re-education camp.

That's not the system that I support, that's the for PROFIT system that you support.
I want to take out the financial incentive as much as possible.
The best way to do that, is to make it a public service.

I want independent scientists to develop the best prevention, cure or treatment for every illness, condition or injury. If there is a profit incentive for the pharmaceutical industry, they will prefer treatment over cures. They will also make everything more expensive than it has to be. If it's all funded by taxes, we the people have an incentive to demand the best healthcare, for the lowest price. It benefits everyone, when people are healthy and are able to work and maximize their potential.
It makes no sense to keep people relatively comfortable, but unable to perform,
with pain medication, if you can invest in their healt long-term, with an operation.
That only happens in a system that minimizes costs, FOR PROFIT, while overall
harming society.

Were they being pushed or advised? Do you trust their motives?

I want my doctor to discuss with me what's best for me, and base their advice
on medical science. I don't want politicians taking money from big pharma and then
push drugs on people for financial gain, even though I work for them.

That makes me remember a funny commercial from long ago.

This is how he argued; by breaking the ongoing argument, with false points.
He bombarded the opposition with too much falsities to ever debunk them all.
It's a good strategy to convince people who don't know anything, but it's not "debating".
