Like all countries, India has the right to not buy anything at all from the United States. But it's unfortunate that they help the Russian economy by buying oil and military equipment from them. They should be boycotted. But not because of Trump.

The White House is claiming that ordinary Americans, not billionaires of course, paid an extra $8 trillion in taxes above what they regularly pay. I'm sure that American taxpayers would be very happy with that if it were true. But of course, it isn't.

Israel is a terrorist state that has proven by its genocidal actions that it no longer has the right to exist. Most Israelis are immigrants who have illegally occupied Palestinian land with the full aid and complicity of the US government. Trying to starve people to death is a war crime.

"Garland’s protection of the DOJ did nothing but preserve that institution long enough for Trump to return to power and weaponize it against political opponents. It was a profound failure that our democracy will be lucky to recover from."

When people are denied food, except to see a rise in crime. Who wouldn't choose to steal rather than starve?

An attack on an American enterprise is an attack on America. The United States must respond or be known as cowards, and Trump as a Russian asset.

Unfortunately that's true. The Biden administration also could have released the list and tapes and indicated the rapists, but chose not to.
