As an outsider looking into the political landscape of the United States, the recent news of President Biden signing an executive order to tighten the southern border has sparked a whirlwind of reactions and debates. It is interesting to see how this decision, which seems to align with what many Republicans have been advocating for, has stirred up such diverse responses.
The intricacies of border security and immigration policies are complex and multifaceted. The ongoing debates around the effectiveness of measures to secure the border, coupled with the humanitarian aspects of managing asylum requests, highlight the challenges faced by policymakers in finding a balanced approach.… Continue reading
The recent announcement by eight Senate Republicans vowing to oppose all Biden nominees and Democratic legislation comes as no surprise to those who have been paying attention. This strategy of obstructionism and partisanship is nothing new, as we have seen this playbook run before during the Obama administration. Instead of putting country over party, these senators are choosing to hold the country hostage in a misguided attempt to punish President Biden for actions taken by the New York Attorney General against Trump.
It is disheartening to see elected officials put their personal vendettas above the needs of the American people. By refusing to perform the basic functions of their job out of pettiness, these senators are failing to uphold their oath to serve the public good.… Continue reading
Biden Goes All-In on Calling Trump a “Convicted Felon”
Biden has been making waves in the political sphere with his bold statements regarding Trump’s criminal past. And honestly, can we blame him? The man is a convicted felon, after all. The fact that this is even a point of contention is mind-boggling. Trump’s track record speaks for itself, and it’s about time someone called him out on it.
It’s fascinating to see how people react to the truth when it’s spoken so candidly. The double standards and hypocrisy within certain political circles are glaringly obvious. When Biden simply states the facts, suddenly it’s seen as going “all-in” or being too aggressive.… Continue reading
I sit here, reflecting on the current state of affairs in American politics and I can’t help but feel a deep sense of frustration and disappointment. The events of January 6th should have been a wake-up call for all of us, but instead, we find ourselves in a situation where a convicted felon is the front-runner for the Republican Party’s nomination for President. It’s a disgrace, an embarrassment, and a clear indication of just how far we have fallen as a nation.
The idea that Donald Trump should drop out of the race seems like a no-brainer to me. After all, he has been convicted of 34 felonies, with the weakest case resulting in a guilty verdict.… Continue reading
As I sit back and analyze the recent news about Donald Trump suffering a triple polling blow in just 48 hours after the guilty verdict, I can’t help but feel a sense of hope. Hope that perhaps, finally, the reality of Trump’s guilt and his unsuitability for office is starting to sink in for more people. It’s a small glimmer of hope in what has felt like a never-ending barrage of chaos and corruption.
The recent Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll that found Trump’s approval rating up by 6 percentage points post-verdict is certainly interesting. However, the numbers are nothing to brag about, especially considering the source’s right-wing bias.… Continue reading
Wow, Trump has been found guilty on all 34 felony counts in the hush money trial. It’s incredible to think that a former president, who was once the leader of our country, is now a convicted felon. The sentencing is set for July 11th, just four days before the Republican convention. The irony is almost too much to handle.
I can’t imagine what it must have been like for Trump to sit in that courtroom and hear the word “guilty” 34 times in a row. It’s a stark reminder that no one is above the law, no matter how powerful or wealthy they may be.… Continue reading
It’s the Democrats’ job? Really? Not the job of the free press as the 4th Estate? The ones directly charged with safeguarding democracy and a free society? No? Okay. Well, they certainly have their work cut out for them with the task of making America care. The idea of continually saying “convicted felon Donald Trump” may seem repetitive, but maybe that’s what it takes to drive home the severity of the situation.
Who cared when he became rapist Donald Trump? Who cared when he became insurrectionist Trump? Who cared when he got caught defrauding banks and the IRS? Who cared when he called vets suckers and losers?… Continue reading
As a young voter, the state of American politics feels bleak and disheartening. The idea of being governed by a group of individuals who are several decades removed from the reality of the average citizen is disconcerting. The decisions being made today will impact the future of generations to come, yet those who will be most affected are not adequately represented. The disconnect between the older generation in power and the younger generation striving for change is painfully evident.
The political landscape is unsettling, with voices advocating for regressive policies that threaten hard-fought freedoms and rights. The resurgence of archaic beliefs regarding women’s rights, LGBT rights, and reproductive rights is deeply troubling.… Continue reading
No, Biden did not order the FBI to assassinate Trump at Mar-a-Lago. The mere suggestion of such an absurd claim is not only baseless but also a dangerous escalation in the realm of political discourse. The fact that Trump’s lawyers argued for total immunity from criminal prosecution, even in the extreme scenario of ordering the assassination of a political opponent, is a chilling reminder of how far some are willing to go to defend their own interests.
This twisted narrative, pushed by Trump and his allies, not only defies logic but also highlights the deep-seated paranoia and delusion that seem to drive their actions.… Continue reading
How Can This Country Possibly Be Electing Trump Again?
I can’t shake off the disbelief that 74 million people in this country voted for Trump in the last election. After the mishandling of the Covid-19 crisis, I assumed his chances would be slim, but it seems his base’s loyalty knows no bounds. The rise in living expenses since Biden took office seems to be at the heart of this. As George Carlin aptly put it, there seems to be an alarming level of ignorance among a significant portion of the American population.
The decline in education funding over the past 50 years has played a significant role in shaping the mindset of many voters.… Continue reading
