There are all kinds of people in the world who see things in all kinds of different ways.

(US pol/ Trump tw)

A "truth" from Lara "Women For Trump" on Truth Social. Trump2024 Our very last chance to save our Country. (praying hands, US Flag) An AI image of Trump and Melania Holding hands, as they never have in life, as they look at a candle together. They both look sad and pensive as they have never looked in life. "Re-electing Trump is no longer a political choice it's a survival choice."

    All the reporting on the final arguments in the election interference case were very muddled and frankly hard to follow for what I wanted to know.

    Basically I'm mostly curious if the defense mostly made a technical argument about the law, or did the defense try to dispute the facts of the case?

    Can anyone who has had some time to follow this say?

    I’m making some “pro-ant” themed buttons— this one is from the Phase 4 movie posters (which are awesome)

    It's like we all decided that imperialism is bad, which it is, so the solution is no one talks about imperial ambitions or power unless it's to insult a bad guy.

    So in the US press you might hear Russia call imperialist, but you'll never get an honest discussion of the vectors of American imperial power, this means that US foreign policy is inscrutable to most Americans.

    "Why are we giving Ukraine so much money?"

    Like we are handing out gift cards, Benjamins and Obama phones.

    @futurebird strongly agree with this. It's an investment with a clearly defined future economic and diplomatic payoff. Also the ROI is pretty good.
