It was never a law, just a policy. Other countries had and continue to have a similar policy with varying levels and methods of enforcement. In the western world USA is the only country which currently allows the media to deliberately lie to their audience.
The 'fairness doctrine' still applies in Europe. Newsrooms cannot, by law, tell lies.
trumpty dumpty does not even have the class to turn up on time. Who would have thought?
Probably going to fill the vacuum now that USA resigned it's position as a Superpower.
Considering planning applications for wind farms on both trump golf courses in Scotland. Good chance of success as the land is currently unproductive and is the proceeds of crime
Planted in the same golf course and attracting the same tax benefits as the ex wife he cheated on and abandoned, hopefully. Family values.
Most people in Georgia would never vote Republican, of course they want to restrict voting
Live in a desert, buy a tank. Live in a fish tank, buy a submarine. Basic logic. But nit with US military procurement.
More than 90% of US military spending has always been to support the US arms industry. Because of political corruption. Most of the US stockpile is, and always has been, completely useless. You cannot drive a tank across the ocean. Without allies it is pointless.
Smallpox now exists only in labs, but there have been occasional leaks. All leaks have caused deaths amongst the unvaxinated minority.
Pre-vaccine infant mortality was around 20%. That is where this is heading.
India is a mostly agricultural country so it always has an excess of cheap food to sell on the world market. It is also in part an industrialised country quite capable of making it's own complete shit at much lower prices than US producers want to charge.
If he is actually dead USA will never recover from the stigma of delaying the biggest party the world has ever seen
Most of those open jobs involve minimum wage or less working in fields with no welfare. Go for it Jim Bob.
USA forged links with Europe, so two continents to operate from. Now China has links with almost of Asia, much of Africa and now South America. And strategic links with Russia and India. Soft power is worth a lot more than the military will ever be.
US thinking late 1940s was exactly the same. A strategy that paid off for 80 years.
Right now China makes the finest electric cars on the planet and sell them for about half the price of Tesla, even with the tariffs. Unless you are dumb enough to think that ICU vehicles have a future, this is a problem.
USA is an ocean away from anywhere strategically important to it. USN can project power 3,000 miles away to some extent but the other branches rely on having allies and use of their bases. It is hard to drive a tank undersea for long as an example.
China and India may yet save us all from the insanity and false science being peddled by USA. It will be a close run thing though and none will emerge unscathed.
It certainly does not care about national boundaries. Per capita is the ONLY realistic measure.
There were three major operations to steal the presidency on his behalf. Only two were successful.
Having worked with many Americans over the years I can confirm that Intelligence was not generally a requirement when they were hired.
If your state allows it, stand your ground and shoot them. Throat shots are best for this. If you can't hit a throat at that range you probably should not have a gun.
You only see the small picture. Only 4% of the global population have a US passport. Every single one of the other 96% wish he was dead too.
I no longer live there, but this statement alone would have lost my vote for the first time in 50 years.
How about just relocating the festering boil known as the state of Israel to, say, Florida. Everyone happy, no more terrorism.
With the dismantling of soft power programs (USAID amongst others), USA has now resigned from consideration as a Superpower.
Per capita pollution is actually worst in USA and is rising. China and India are close but both falling. It is a misdirection to compare raw figures when both China and India have 4x the population.
No industrialised nation will remain competitive until 2050 by relying on fossil fuels. They are simply too expensive.
He mis spelled twat
No industrialised country will survive past 2050 by continuing to use fossil fuels.
Every election in the trump era has been rigged in his favour.
It is time for every country to consider a total travel ban to/ from USA. A return to 20% infant mortality there now seems inevitable and killer diseases respect no borders.
He actually needs to secede and leave the red states to rot.
She can probably afford it. And if there is a shortfall, a simple request would bring in billions more
So some agency has invented a radar that works underwater defying the laws of physics? Why is this not global news?
Crime numbers dropped dramatically under Biden. They are now rising again.
That is almost enough to convert a knackered old 747 into yet another AF1, convert the Rose Garden into a tacky beer garden and create a ballroom that not one single person in the world wants. Profits on this scale, if maintained, might even pay for the golf trips. Pity about the national debt.
Depends where you put it I suspect
Smack them, they deserve it. Be in control, always.
Listening to every album ever produced would take around 7.2 billion years. That is a rough calculation, not a guess. There are a lot of them out there.
Also a hard no
Wartime powers need to be addressed. This clown show must never be allowed to hapoen again.
He has flooded the safest cities in the country with military police. All blue cities. As every global traveller knows they are the safer ones. No action at all around the actual crime hotspots.
He manageged to BANCRUPT A CASINO. Almost impossible because they always take a percentage, but he managed it.
The man has the IQ of a slug. Could he even find the Atlantic on a map or draw a whale?
Trumpty Dumpty is still mad that the state secrets he wanted to sell were taken away
Having sex with a 17yo is not actually a crime under UK law. Crimes may have be committed by others in this case.
Scotland is doing it now
Maybe the final nail in the coffin of US manufacturing. There is not a hope in hell of industry competing if it relies on very expensive fossil fuels.
Wind power costs a fraction of what coal, oil, gas or nuclear does per Mwh. Other countries embrace it because it makes financial sense.
Very few Christians have ever read it all, certainly I have never met a church leader who has. Most people who have actually read it became athiest. It is a book which 'proves' that whatever you want to 'prove' is the will of some imaginary deity.
Made the country hotter? Yes, the only country increasing greenhouse gass emissions. ALL other countries are reducing their energy costs by switching to solar and wind. Some for environmental reasons, some for financial ones. It takes a special kind of stupid to think 'drill baby drill' is good.
You misspelled 'complete bullshit'
Stop trying to apply logic to a man who is demonstrably insane.
Trump does not care. He killed off around a million mainly white, mainly republican voting people during Covid just to turn a profit on horse medicine.
Spoiler: his god has horns
I would urge any Evangelical to listen to the 'Amused to Death' album bt Roger Waters. Either you will change or your faith is meaningless znd then you will change. Or youa are Americzn znd completely ignore reality.
Curiously, both are deemed to have a slight right wing bias compared to free world media outlets
The chances of a free and fair election are zero for a generation. 2020 will go down in history as the final year when voter turnout overcame blatant corruption and returned 'the will of the people'. The corruption is now too strong to allow a repeat I fear.
Most Democrat Presidents have had no deficit, defecits are a Republican thing. And no government has ever been close to $4t. I suspect he is actually referring to the Debt, which is an entirely different number. If tariffs reduce the debt by $4t, trump will still be responsible for 25% of it.
Choosing from 7bn+ candidates, trump would not make my shortlist of 7bn to run any company.
They are different. The trump stash is, and always was for sale. The menu just fell through the mailbox
USAID, support for the UN and for NATO were the things that made America great. In that order. One of those is cancelled, the others are shaky at best. When you abandon billions of people your global influence reduces dramatically. The country is now spiralling down the plughole of irrelevance.
That is one stupid Chinese hat
Sad to realise that we are living through the death of a significant world power, all because of a minority who see 19th century ideology as a goal. The world will adapt, it always does, but for now the world wishes Make America Go Away. Hopefully the next colonisation will achieve a better outcome.
Quite a statement from a man? who is the 46th and 47th lowest polling president
'By force' rather than 'By persuasion' is the politics of a failed ideology. Just another nail in the coffin of US credibility on the world stage.
Mostly they stick to that model too. And they are all equally made up mostly of European immigrants - just Southern Europeans instead of Northern Europeans. Hence the coloring and linguistic variation.
Community note: no republican is going to heaven.
Also, Obama was president
Is there even one single person who has been deported from America who has a longer rap sheet than trump?
Chinese electricity price is down by 8% this year in most areas
Any country not getting more than 50% of it's energy from renewables - solar, wind, tidal ... by 2030 is not going to make it to 2100. USA is lagging far behind so far.
It works well in USA too. It is proven to be the most secure system, shown to be highly resistant against fraud. That's why he doesn't like it.
Time to suspend US membership of NATO and get on with business.
Time to evict all US troops from Europe and other free world countries, they are a security risk with this clown in charge. Also time to review US membership of NATO and the UN.
Bet Elon's Laughing Again
A tiny % tell him is is an OK golfer too. But they are just lying, he is actually hopeless at it.
AP are reporting that Putin will allow trump to offer Ukraine 'US and European security guarantees' No world leader would consider such an offer from trump to be of more use than the offer of a squadron of pink unicorns, mostly because trump trashed the previous guarantees that US had agreed.
And was the better dancer
Hawking had a much better figure and singing voice
Give Obama a lifetime presidency. It is the only possible way to make America a great country.
Meanwhile, Ukraine demands that trump does not wear a diaper and act like a 3 year old. This is an adult meeting not a toddler play party.
USA needs fossil fuels to generate the most expensive electricity on the planet. How else than they keep their industry uncompetative and lower living standards?
He also chooses to side with people charged with crimes against humanity.
Masked unidentifiable 'men' in a group wearing costumes from Amazon are terrorists and/ or kidnappers. If your state allows it then stand your ground and shoot to kill. That is your right and your duty.
Why is Putin bothering to talk with trump? He is not leader of NATO and sure as hell is not leader of the free world. His only real influence is control over the sale of defensive systems helping to protect Ukranian civilians.
Having 80,000 US troops in European holiday camps is becoming an issue for much the same reason
He really is now deluded enough to think that he can influence world events. That ship sailed long ago when the last real POTUS left office.
No foreign company is so dependent on the US market that they will run at a loss. They can't afford to. Tariffs will be paid by US importers and passed on to US consumers.
And those are his best traits
Columbus died completely ignorant of the existence of either American continent. He discovered several islands, including one that he didn't sail around. He was hundreds of miles from the landmass currently known as North America and if he had got there he would have discovered Mexico.
No information should be 'classified' to protect an individual. Not ever.
Trump and his defense secretary were the only two people in the entire world who had the power to deploy the national guard on 1/6. POTUS and SecDef are the only people who have ever had that authority. He knows it, and lies to blame Pelosi. As does his tame media.
DC National Guard are always under direct federal control.They answer only to POTUS or SecDef, as they did during the attemped coup on 1/6.
Trump seems incapable of understanding the basic fact that he is completely irrelevant.
Certainly your great great grzndchilden will be still paying for his debt increase
Most countries do this in a couple of weeks, using a committee who have no political agenda. Population divided by seats. Draw a box around that number of voters. Simples. That would obviously wipe out red states, but it would be fair.
Most ethic Russians in Ukraine are there to escape Russia.
