If you look at the debates that do happen, Democrats do debate well, while you see the Republicans try to bulldozer their way through, without letting a moderator step in and keep order. That is why you saw Trump complain about things being unfair, because he is actually stopped from just ignoring the rules and rambling on with a lot of lies and misleading statements.

To Trump, if he says something that is a KNOWN falsehood, anyone who calls him out on that falsehood is being unfair. He calls so many things "fake news" that are actually correct, but don't cover up for his lies.

It all comes down to some basic mathematics. Now, before the modern Internet, every village, town, and city had a FEW people who were considered a village idiot, conspiracy theory nut, or "crazy". The local people knew who they were, and knew to ignore what those people would say. Then, the Internet showed up, and everyone got access. A strange thing happened, suddenly we saw just how many of those "village idiots" there were, all those small towns, or cities, the crazies started organizing. When the overall numbers get counted, they might amount to 10% or less, but when elections are often within 5%, that 10% would mean the difference between winning an election or losing it.

So, the Republicans decided to embrace that segment of the populace, and gave them more power than at any time in history, to the point you see people like Marjorie Taylor Greene actually winning elections and getting into office, and then getting reelected. Then, the rest of the Republican Party embraced them and let them get leadership positions. In the same way that conservatives have had control over the DNC(you see it when Joe Manchin was looked on so favorably while ANY progressive would have the DNC try to primary them out of office), the crazies have taken over the Republican Party.

And all of this is because both parties keep nominating bad candidates for elections, so you get an even split of people who are disgusted by both choices, so just vote on party lines. If people win by only 5%, that's showing a person who isn't accepted by a true majority of people.

Not engineered. He is always fair, but will not let a guest just run over him with non-stop rants or lies the way Fox would let a Republican. A Republican who is rational and will explain their views, then actually discuss potential holes will have no problem with anyone who "leans to the left" on shows. If you just start saying how you are right and keep going without an actual dialog, that's when ANY good interviewer will stop you. Weak people will let the other person just go on and on, even when they say factually incorrect things that have been disproven.

Not slowly. The Republican Party with their fanatical support of Donald Trump, have made a point of just doing ANYTHING, no matter that it violates the US Constitution, for Trump and to not stop Trump from doing ANYTHING.

The big concern is that Republicans are clearly working to rig the mid-term elections where they can, just because Republicans are down to a 35 percent approval rating with the majority of US citizens looking to get the Republican Party out of power at this point.

While there are briefings to alert the president about things that come up, Donald Trump is the first president who is not mentally capable of reading a briefing, and has EVERYONE do the work for him. The posts on Truth Social are being done by Natalie for example, and if you actually listen to Donald Trump, he can't keep his mind on important issues for longer than a few minutes without his mind drifting off to something else.

Donald Trump really isn't capable of leading at this point, dementia is too far along to let him even seem to be able to think rationally.

It's not the teachers doing it, it is the school administrators and school boards who don't want to lose financial help if the students aren't above a certain level. Conservatives here in the USA who are more concerned with their religion than making sure students can actually understand what is going on have gotten far too much control of school districts around the country.

Trump relies on others to tell him what is going on, because actually reading reports is well beyond his ability to process information. I don't know if he has always been this bad, or if he had a stroke 10-15 years ago that did it to him, but what we see today is where the woman who changes his diaper is the one who posts the nonsense on fake-Truth Social.

The issue at hand is that monitoring the behaviors of ANYONE, citizen or not, should require a warrant to show probable cause. Doing a search without that warrant being given first then falls under illegal search. It's not about if people have done something wrong, but more, law enforcement isn't allowed to just search you, your records, or go to private companies to do a search without there being a search warrant FIRST.

This is where ICE is continually breaking the law, because they don't go through the part of getting a search warrant first.

No, people want the police and ICE to be held accountable for illegal search and assaults on people. No one wants "increased government monitoring", except for the fascists who love the Trump administration. If the police or ICE KILLs someone and it's not justified, then those police officers or ICE agents should at the least lose their jobs, and they should be brought up on charges of manslaughter or murder if warranted.

Government monitoring where people go without a warrant is supposed to be illegal in this country. Capturing where EVERYONE is going falls into the category of government monitoring that everyone said was one of the worst parts of communism, right? Can't go anywhere without your travel papers, or being subject to a random search, so yea, these Flock cameras are a part of bringing the worst elements of being in a "police state" to the USA.

The idea of bringing jobs back, that could be handled with a much easier solution, taxing corporations based on the percentage of jobs that are actually here in the USA, and effectively charging corporations a LOT for outsourcing their labor to other countries. This would encourage companies to go through the H1B process to bring in workers from other countries(and get taxes from those workers), or to hire workers here.

Being afraid of the "illegals" is what shows how pathetic most of the people are who advocate for ICE, because if your own job skills are so bad that you are afraid of immigrants in the first place where those who can't speak English are seen as a better hire, then YOU need to look at yourself and what you have done wrong in your life. It's really that simple, people say that the immigrants from South of the border are unskilled and can't speak English so should be sent back, but then, why would THAT cause a loss of jobs for citizens, unless those citizens are horrible employees so would be passed over for a job?

It would be far better to just allow all of the undocumented to stay, as long as they get their paperwork started to get legal status to live and work in this country. If they were documented and here legally, then crime wouldn't be an issue for them, because they wouldn't need to be afraid of immigration going after them.

How about putting down how much all of those ILLEGAL and unsanctioned attacks on Venezuela and Iran cost? How about all the money that was spent trying to extort personal bribes to make Trump not put tariffs on certain things just to benefit those business insiders? How about those tax cuts for billionaires that never needed them and doesn't actually benefit the USA?

You are more worried about a trans person because why, they might be attracted to YOU, so they get treatment to become a woman to try to seduce you? Is that what you are really worried about?

You are an idiot Trump supporter who believes what Fox News says.

Bernie got his money through writing and selling books, and the fact that he is advocating for increasing how much he pays in taxes should show he is NOT being a hypocrite.

Back before Ford got rid of normal passenger cars in North America, I saw that they had a "S" trim as a really really basic version, below the SE that most people consider a base-line car. I have a memory that some of the S-trim versions started without even including power windows and door locks in the 2000s-2015 model year range. Now, picture a car being so cut back that it doesn't have power door locks and windows, and then realizing that the only people who would buy those would be companies that lease vehicles, or provide them as a loaner car.

By the time this new generation becomes available outside of Korea, this whole idea may be gone, because research will show how few will accept the lack of a "proper" instrument cluster.
