    A statement like this from the standing US president barely making headlines and being but a passing moment in the day is hilarious

    None of the many terrible things that man does, save threats to Jimmy Kimmel's job, seems to stir much interest from the media or public these days

    The media and the voting public: We went virtueless, so who cares.

    @Space Ghost doesn't.

    James Madison:

    20 June 1788[​IMG]Papers 11:163

    I have observed, that gentlemen suppose, that the general legislature will do every mischief they possibly can, and that they will omit to do every thing good which they are authorised to do. If this were a reasonable supposition, their objections would be good. I consider it reasonable to conclude, that they will as readily do their duty, as deviate from it: Nor do I go on the grounds mentioned by gentlemen on the other side--that we are to place unlimited confidence in them, and expect nothing but the most exalted integrity and sublime virtue. But I go on this great republican principle, that the people will have virtue and intelligence to select men of virtue and wisdom. Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks--no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea. If there be sufficient virtue and intelligence in the community, it will be exercised in the selection of these men. So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.

    If social media, streaming, amazon and door dash isn’t a function society, what is?

    Not having masked goons break your door open without a warrant and kidnap people on the suspicion of being illegal sounds more important than watching Amazon.

    Maduro can kiss my ass but I don't support bombing another country to do regime change. That **** has never worked before. Didn't work in Afghanistan/Iraq/gaza/Libya and it work here. Quit spending money on wars

    If the US invades Venezuela in a war of aggression and expansion like Russia invading Ukraine, well, we'd deserve to be international pariahs too.

    I don't know what it would take to plunge Trump's approval below 25% and finally get him impeached but I'd say there's a nonzero chance this woudl be it.

    Please tell me what makes Maduro a monster but somehow MBS is our strong ally? In saudi Arabia they literally hang you if you say anything bad about the government. They stone women to death if they are accused of adultery. You have zero freedom of speech or any other civil liberties.

    Dont gas light us that Maduro is this monster but somehow Saudis are our friends when they funded 9/11 terrorists

    I literally have talked bad about hamas since the very beginning and supported the IDF at the beginning of the war. Israel should eliminate Hamas and I have never spoken highly of Hamas. Youre confusing me with someone else.

    The bottom line is your cult hero is about to drag us into another war which will end up failing cuz a bloody civil war will break out in Venezuela when Maduro is gone.
