Hopefully, Gorsuch and Barrett now see what type of person Trump is. A person who wants everyone to follow him. A person who wants to be a dictator.

Didn’t Trump say in his State of the Union address that the military was meeting its enlistment goals?


Florida is correct. NFL players are not diverse. There are many Blacks and few Asians.


It would be foolish for Trump to believe what happens in the world doesn’t affect the US. US companies do business worldwide. The Great Depression was worldwide.


You mean Harris promised the same thing. At any rate, Trump won because he promised tighter border security and lower inflation. Hitler won because the Democratic Weimar Republic couldn’t control inflation. Trump like Hitler is also a great speaker. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mnBRZNAA_0
Andy Beshear would have been a better Democratic Presidential nominee. Bernie Sanders would not have done well in red states.


This article says the same thing. The article is too long so I just read the conclusion. From https://media4.manhattan-institute.org/pdf/ib_19.pdf
These four lines of reasoning all lead to the same end point: It is potentially misleading to imagine that U.S. taxes in the 1950s can serve as a model for a better approach in 2013. Income tax rates actually paid in the U.S. have remained stable for decades.
There are policies that can reduce inequality, but I don’t think Americans would approve of a socialist government. Mamdani is live experiment of whether socialistic policies will work.
Trump’s border policies would have been well received decades ago. Because of Trump, today’s status quo is too far to the right. Democrats should have policies more centrist.


If the far-right becomes more extreme, people will reject them because most people prefer moderate views.
From https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/federal/taxes-on-the-rich-1950s-not-high/
There is a common misconception that high-income Americans are not paying much in taxes compared to what they used to. Proponents of this view often point to the 1950s, when the top federal income tax rate was 91 percent for most of the decade.[1] However, despite these high marginal rates, the top 1 percent of taxpayers in the 1950s only paid about 42 percent of their income in taxes. As a result, the tax burden on high-income households today is only slightly lower than what these households faced in the 1950s.


Bernie Sanders might have won the Democratic primary, but he would lost to Trump. Sanders is too far left for most Americans.


I did address what you said. Adopting less extreme policies of a far-right group undermine its appeal.
The tax on the wealthy can be increased to lessen inequality but only to a degree because it would decrease the motivation to be rich. Making money is the basis of the capitalist system.


No, Israel exports many products. The private companies have branches in Israel because Israel has a talented pool of workers.


The undocumented immigrant population in the United States reached 14 million in 2023, the highest level on record, according to estimates from the nonpartisan think tank Pew Research Center.


Israel is a prosperous country. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Israel
The economy of Israel is a highly developed free-market economy.[23][4][24][25][26] The prosperity of Israel’s advanced economy allows the country to have a sophisticated welfare state, a powerful modern military said to possess a nuclear-weapons capability with a full nuclear triad, modern infrastructure equivalent to developed countries, and a high-technology sector competitively on par with Silicon Valley.[23] It has the second-largest number of startup companies in the world after the United States,[27][needs update] and the third-largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies after the U.S. and China.[28] American companies, such as Intel,[29] Microsoft,[30] and Apple,[31][32] built their first overseas research and development facilities in Israel. More than 400 high-tech multi-national corporations, such as IBM, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems, Facebook and Motorola have opened R&D centers throughout the country.[33] As of 2025, the IMF estimated Israel has the 25th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, and one of the biggest economies in the Middle East.[1]


The US will not boycott Israel. Consequently, your idea is similar to Aesop’s Fables, The Mice in Council. See https://aesopsfables.org/F184_The-Mice-in-Council.html


The age difference is 3.5 years. In the debate, Trump was much sharper.
Don’t you remember illegal migrants sleeping on the sidewalks of El Paso and Greg Abbott busing illegal migrants to blue cities? The mayors of these blue cities then pleaded for Biden to provide aid, but he did nothing.


That’s what right wing Israelis might want, but under my proposal Israel will only get the Gaza Strip and a large chunk of land in the Sinai. Israel would have to give to Egypt the West Bank and land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. Right wing Israelis want land that Yahweh supposedly gave them, but not all Israelis are very religious.


No, under my proposal Egypt would own the territory occupied by Palestinians.


Trump is pleasing his MAGA base by attacking Iran. He wants Iran’s oil just as he wants Venezuela’s oil. The problem is that Iran is more powerful and much closer to Russia than Venezuela. Consequently, Russia is able to help Iran.


Incorrect. Merz adopted a stricter stance on immigration but not as harsh as the AfD party. Likewise, a centrist Democrat could be tough on border security but give migrants already here a path to citizenship. Inequality can never be completely eliminated because people aren’t equal in talent.


Under my proposal that will be up to Egypt. I think Egypt will prefer to make Palestine a state within Egypt.
Transsexuality like homosexuality is probably biological meaning that there is nothing that can change it. It also means that trans people are not going to have any influence on those who are not trans. See https://scienceinsights.org/is-being-gay-genetic-what-science-actually-says/
