      (Edited) Hello: Is it possible for the United States to offer to install instructure (eg, a "Rule of Law-" Constitution, increased Transportation & Electrical Powering & a well-funded Public School System for children) that's proven to boost an Economy, for free, to other countries in exchange for having increased trade with them? Is that a crazy idea? (Some negative & rude remarks I'd written earlier were deleted.)

IC e is trained in Israel or Urban warfare, along with many other factions of our law enforcement and taught to think of us as "civilians". There are many reports o people being killed in the camps they already have too.

    Marco Rubio calling migration a threat to cohesion of community or stability of culture is wild as a Cuban migrant living in the USA
    Edit: To clarify - yes I know he was born here, but being a first generation Cuban American, born in Florida myself, it’s still hypocrisy. Especially when the US is responsible for the majority of the suffering of Cubans for decades and currently.

      @valoriethechemist 26 days ago

      @Don-j7v4g Even if they didn’t… immigration was never meant to be like a country club with gilded walls… “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.”
      It’s not just a nice phrase on a plaque… it’s the beating heart of this country. One they’re trying to rip out and replace with artificial intelligence.
      The only thing the overwhelming majority of these people need is to be allowed to have their paperwork updated and completed. Just like it should have been and was before Reagan made it possible for the scum of the earth to win elections on it by literally quoting the pillars of white nationalism and privilege.
      Every immigration wave was met by such nonsense. Our job is to ensure it’s put down ruthlessly as the attack on the government of the people for the people and by the people which it truly represents.

    • @PaulFlores-m9d
      @PaulFlores-m9d 26 days ago +1

      @jayleeper1512 The U.S. remains a constitutional republic with democratic elections, separation of powers, and federalism-not a dictatorship. Trump was elected via the Electoral College in 2024 (certified Jan. 6, 2025), operates under congressional oversight (e.g., 2026 budget battles), and faces judicial checks (e.g., SCOTUS rulings on executive actions). Communism involves state ownership of production and classless society (per Marx/Engels); Trump's policies emphasize deregulation, tax cuts for businesses, and private enterprise-not communist central planning or abolition of property.
      Labeling Trump a "communist dictator" contradicts his ideology: He's a populist conservative (MAGA platform: nationalism, anti-globalism, free-market capitalism with tariffs). Dictatorships suppress opposition and rule indefinitely; Trump respects term limits (Article II), midterms proceed in Nov. 2026, and free speech/press continue (e.g., ongoing media critiques). No shift to communism-U.S. economy is capitalist (GDP driven by private sector, per BEA 2025 data), with no nationalization of industries.

    The U.S. is not going to attack IRAN. They will get their jets shot down. Ask Israel how that went. They blew up the golden dome; Israel had to fly way out to sea to fire their missiles and did minor damage. Iranian missiles have already demonstrated the ability to shoot down F-35s. Iran also attacked some of their bases around the Middle East; as a taste, if there's a war, it will be much worse than that. Their allies shot some down using Iranian missiles. Iran is not Iraq. Never mind all this; let's just see the Epstein files. They will also go after the shipping lanes that would open a big ass can of worms.

But, the U.S. Congress can't make people/or themselves wash their hands after pooping ... how are they going to force the DOJ to release the ALL the Epstein docs?

You also sound a little like Pam Bodii, another disillusioned puppet. I suppose the healthy affliction you describe I suffer from is that of a human being who believes in the US Constitution, and the American freedoms its amendments contain, especially the Bill of Rights, which this power-hungry member of the Epstein Elite is attempting to destroy. however my glorious affliction is far better than having Senile Dementia like your Autocrat Fascist friend. You must be a very wealthy person, Connie, if you can afford to live in Trump's America, you must also be without a moral compass if you think murdering US Citizens is acceptable. Your fat Orangeman will be gone at the very latest come November, hopefully it will be sooner than that. Its all his own selfish doing, simply by shredding both the Constitution but more so, his Demolishing of the GOP, another Democrat win in OHIO 2 days ago. along with the other 4 Republican to Democrat seat wins in the last few months. Come November and the Midterms, Trump will be impeached finally on the third attempt by a huge Blue Majority, firstly in Congress, but more importantly in the Senate. where his fate will be sealed. Even he is aware of this final end. Even MAGA diehards have had enough of your lunatic despot. The good Republicans, who know and still love an America, they are fast realising is totally becoming un-American, like the men who emulated Lincoln, and Garfield, died for their beliefs. They only shoot the good ones, thats why Trump has not been assassinated. The GOP, from LINCOLN to STINKIN! Ain 't that the truth.

    Fascism is the privatization of government by private concerns, be those private concerns secular, theocratic, or both. The criminality of fascism is implicit in its definition. Those who cannot accept that fact, perhaps, confuse psychosis for politics.

    • @PaulFlores-m9d
      @PaulFlores-m9d 26 days ago

      Fascism is not defined as "the privatization of government by private concerns." Scholarly consensus (e.g., Robert Paxton in The Anatomy of Fascism, Roger Griffin in The Nature of Fascism, Umberto Eco in "Ur-Fascism") describes it as ultranationalist, authoritarian ideology emphasizing extreme nationalism, dictatorial leadership, suppression of dissent, militarism, and the subordination of individuals to the state/nation. Economically, fascism preserved private property and profit motives but subordinated them to state control via "corporatism" (state-directed partnerships where government dominates business for national goals), not full privatization or handover to private entities. Mussolini's regime nationalized key sectors (e.g., armaments) while regulating others heavily-far from privatization.
      The claim misrepresents fascism's core: it was anti-liberal, anti-socialist, and anti-Marxist, prioritizing the totalitarian state over individual or private interests (per Mussolini's "The Doctrine of Fascism," 1932: the state as supreme, individuals accepted only when aligned with it). While some fascist economies allowed nominal private ownership, the state exercised ultimate control (e.g., dirigiste intervention for autarky/self-sufficiency). "Privatization of government" confuses this with modern neoliberal deregulation-fascism centralized power in the regime/leader, not devolved it to secular/theocratic private groups. Criminality may occur in practice, but it's not "implicit in the definition"; fascism is a political ideology/movement, not inherently synonymous with crime.
      The phrasing ("privatization of government by private concerns, secular, theocratic, or both") appears in niche online sources (e.g., some activist posts) but lacks support from mainstream historians or primary fascist texts. It may blend elements of corporatism with critiques of modern authoritarianism, but it overlooks fascism's historical focus on state supremacy and mass mobilization for national rebirth (palingenetic ultranationalism per Griffin). Labeling disagreement as "psychosis" dismisses legitimate definitional debate-fascism is fuzzy and debated, but core traits center on authoritarian nationalism, not privatization.
