Just because the map is flat (2D) doesn't mean the earth is flat. That map is just a way of representing the earth in a computer system. It's an analog. Here in the real world, the Earth is still round.

The Flat Earth model falls apart when explaining sunrises, or why vehicles disappear over the horizon from the bottom or satellite orbits. But good luck with your criminal charges.

NASA has published numerous photographs of the round Earth. Can you find a photograph of the flat Earth?

It's not paying. It's spending. National defense isn't just weapons and ammunition. It's not even just the military, and all those NATO members that "aren't paying" are probably still paying--just not in terms recognized by NATO guidelines. Here in the USA, we can easily separate national defense from our daily lives, as we have a huge military and well-defined separation from the public. In some countries around the world, especially smaller countries, people just live with their militaries. We have state National Guards where members have to sign up and get regular training. In other countries, the state reaches out to eligible citizens and issues equipment and time in service may not even be paid. Just because the government doesn't spend 2% doesn't mean the cost to the nation is less than 2%. Either way, Trump is an idiot and misrepresents the situation.

You don't seem to understand. NATO is not a loan or a subscription. When the US or any other NATO member spends money on the military, it's not dropped into NATO's bank account. There are no delinquency notices. NATO member states pledge to spend 2% of their GDP on defense. Maybe you can point to where some conservative blogger or Donald Trump said that other nations are behind in their payments, but Trump is a moron. Don't be like Trump.

Defence expenditures and NATO’s 2% guideline

That's not how NATO works. Member countries don't pay into NATO like a country club. They merely pledge to spend 2% of their GDP on defense, and while several countries are falling short, they're not delinquent. They all paid a fee to join.

The Paris Accords is a little different, and it's also way bigger than NATO, and only pledges to work toward slowing down climate change and researching ways to do it. Again, nobody's delinquent in that. Trump claimed that it hurts the US to work toward climate change when other countries don't, but that's not true either. Our research into renewable energy is already paying off, and solar and wind power is now cheaper and employs several times more people than coal and natural gas powerplants. Slowing down climate change helps everybody.

Lastly, helping Ukraine is not about furthering war, but about helping Ukraine resist the Russian invasion and diminishing Russia's ability to extend its war into other countries, including NATO countries.

Political affiliations, and mental health
issues aside, 99.9% of the schitbags
elected to public office, should have
been sent to prison.
... But, voters have been conditioned
to believe soundbites over actions.

There's been virtually no discernible
difference between the two main parties
in the U.S., in nearly 40 years.
It doesn't matter if the dick weasel has
a D, or an R next to their name.
They're all still dickweasels, and they're
all still corrupt.

Biden, as well as the five peckerheads
who served before him, should all be
doing life sentences in prison solitary
confinement.


And, since Bush Sr. has already passed,
dig his azz up, and rebury him on
prison grounds.

Weird take. You think Biden will be remembered for things that happened 40 years ago while he's passing laws now? Having gotten his Inflation Reduction Act, and CHIPS Act passed, that pump $trillions into the US economy and return semiconductor manufacturing to the US, with $billions still being spent today, or maybe the $35/month cap on insulin? How about his work to eliminate junk fees from banks and airlines? Biden's the first US President to stand and walk with Union workers. He's the first US President to pick a female VP. A lot of other first go there, too, but until you typed about his votes on busing and desegregation (on which he wasn't alone at the time) I had forgotten about, and I follow politics pretty closely.

I admit that Biden isn't at his best, and some of his positions disappoint me. But this year isn't between Biden and my ideal candidate. It's just Biden v. Trump again. Trump was an unmitigated disaster as a President. DJT lied and cheated every day. Took foreign emoluments every day, and because Republicans controlled Congress, and the Constitution wasn't clear enough, nothing was ever done about it. And even with Republican control of the White House, and Congress, Trump got almost nothing done. They couldn't even make basic government work.

The choice is easy: Four more years for Biden and Trump to Prison in 2024.

While Trump's supporters are losing to a point, they're only losing some money and time and any maybe some friends. Trump's spending their donations on his legal bills. I suspect they know it, and are mostly OK with it.

Have you even read the indictment? Trump's charges are nothing like what Willis & Wade are accused of. The defendant's attorneys are trying everything they can to delay the case, but the allegations had no merritt and their witness was soundly impeached. She's just a disgruntled former employee, and even if the allegations were true, they aren't sufficient to support Willis' or Wade's recusal. That case will move forward and Trump et. al., are going to trial soon enough.

This case was never about ruining Trump's chances at being President again. It was only about holding him accountable for the laws he broke. Taking hundreds of $millions from the guy while he needs money for his campaigns is just an added bonus.

Yeah, inflation and crime rates are dropping and Trump's had more than his share of verbal flubs. Give it a few more months and Republicans will have nothing left to say, as Trump's criminal convictions pile up. His case on campaign finance violations starts next month. I get that Republicans like to point at Biden's gaffs, but even Biden can keep Pelosi & Hailey straight.

1. Inflation started going up in 2020, and only reached its peak after Biden got to work, but it's back down now.
the annual inflation rates for dozens and dozens of goods routinely purchased by American households - including food - were already at their highest levels in a decade before Biden entered the White House

2. Maybe you could be more specific about world-wide opinions about The United States, but Biden's not the one pulling out of treaties and trying to dismantle NATO. That's Trump. Biden is working with our allies in Europe and Asia and elsewhere, unlike Trump, who was actually laughed at during world summits.

3. The US has several allies in the Middle East and while Israel may be the closest, they're not perfect. They apparently commit war crimes, targeting civilians in their fight against Hamas, but Biden is still working to get foreign aid to them and to the Palestinian civilians. Trump would've never been able to handle that kind of diplomacy.

4. And again, you bring up the curious statistic that 7/10 of Americans blame Biden for everything wrong. Got a link for that? Your claim looks like BS to me.

The proof of his miserable failure is visible in the grocery stores , the housing market, our schools, on the streets w/ crime, our judicial system is a joke, his misstatements and garbled speeches to our overseas allies and his pathetically weak warnings to our adversaries is doing a great deal of damage to our values and financial status and our sovereignty.. just listen to other forms of information besides the liberal gurus that you blindly follow and bough down to…that is where you can get a true glimpse of the popularity of Joe…. It’s not good for Sleepy Joe!

Judge orders Trump and his companies to pay $355 million in New York civil fraud case

* Trump fined $355 million (not the $370 million D.A. James asked for)
* Not including the $88 million Trump was ordered to pay E. Jean Carroll
* Don Jr. & Eric Trump each fined $4 million
* Trump's CFO Allen Weisselberg fined $1 million
* Trump's lawyers pledged to appeal the ruling.

So Trump's lying and cheating has cost him almost a half billion dollars so far. Ah ha ha ha!

Oh please. Shrinkflataion isn't this week. That's been going on since the '50s. It's not like Biden or any other president has control on what the consumer market bears. All he can do is ask Congress for reforms and sign acts of Congress into law. Biden asked Congress for a fairer tax system, and Republican's won't have it. So, higher corporate profits go up with inflation.

Things aren't going to hell. Unemployment is down. Inflation is down. Oil & Natural Gas prices are down. Since Biden got into office, there're no more shortages of the things the Trump Administration let slide.

And to answer the other question above, there are other Republicans and Democrats, but Republicans mostly want (criminal suspect) Trump, and Democrats are sticking with the guy known to beat the criminal suspect in elections. If Trump were not running, and put in prison where he belongs, all bets would be off.

hahahahahaha and this coming from a Trump supporter.

This is not unlike when Ronald Reagan had no
memory when it came to Oliver North, now,
of course, we know he was pre-Alzheimer's.

ALL older people are going to suffer from memory
loss sooner or later, I am quite surprised that
Biden is on offer to run again, is there NO
ONE else?

Same for Republicans, is there no one but the crooked clown?
