I look fwd to seeing the film. And I could not agree more that the belief many Americans have/had concerning our nation’s “exceptionalism” only makes us less vigilant. The corollary being “it can’t happen here”, when considering dictatorship. Not sure there’s ever been a good reason to think we are somehow sharper than other nations.

‘Civil War’ Director Blasts “Incredibly Dangerous” Political Divide in Interview

Filmmaker Alex Garland explained why it makes sense for 'Civil War' to come out during an election year, why Texas and California are allies in the film, and the slammed the political polarization: "One thing history shows us is that [no country] is immune. Nobody is exceptional."
www.hollywoodreporter.com www.hollywoodreporter.com

“At one point, Garland rather passionately pointed out that Civil War is trying to create a conversation about political divisiveness in general that vilifies the other side; ratcheting up rhetoric into an ethical debate which makes it easier to see others as evil — and once somebody is considered morally wrong, their opponents can justify all sorts of extreme measures to stop them.

“Why are we talking and not listening?” he asked. “We’ve lost trust in the media and politicians. And some in the media are wonderful and some politicians are wonderful—on both sides of the divide. I have a political position and I have good friends on the other side of that political divide. Honestly, I’m not trying to be cute: What’s so hard about that? Why are we shutting [conversation] down? Left and right are ideological arguments about how to run a state. That’s all they are. They are not a right or wrong, or good and bad. It’s which do you think has greater efficacy? That’s it. You try one, and if that doesn’t work out, you vote it out, and you try again a different way. That’s a process. But we’ve made it into ‘good and bad.’ We made it into a moral issue, and it’s ****ing idiotic, and incredibly dangerous … I personally [blame] some of this on social media. There is a an interaction that exists human-to-human that floats away when it reaches a public forum.”

‘We are losing our kids to a satanic cult,’ Sen. Tommy Tuberville warns during Utah campaign stop

Alabama Republican U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville had a stark warning for the approximately 100 Utah GOP delegates who crowded into a Bluffdale warehouse to hear him speak on Friday afternoon: Malevolent supernatural forces are working to undermine America.

‘Everything he is saying isn’t true’: Congolese governments denounce Trump’s baseless stories about emptied prisons

There is no evidence for former President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that “the Congo” has emptied prisons to allow violent criminals to come to the US border as migrants – and the governments of both the Democratic Republic of Congo and the neighboring Republic of Congo say Trump’s...
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com
More lies.

Trump said during a Fox News town hall in late February: “We have people coming in from everywhere. They’re coming in from the Congo. They interviewed some people last night. ‘Where are you from?’ ‘Congo.’ ‘Where did you live?’ ‘Prison.’ They’re emptying out their prisons into our country.”

Trump said, “The Congo – a very big population coming in from jails from the Congo. You look at the jails now, you take a look at the jails throughout the region, but more importantly, throughout the world. They’re emptying out because they’re dumping them into the United States.”

Trump’s claims are baseless. Experts on the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo, plus both pro-immigration and anti-immigration organizations in the US, told CNN they have not seen any evidence of Congolese prisons being emptied. Trump’s presidential campaign and an allied super PAC did not respond to requests to provide any evidence. A CNN search of two media databases turned up no evidence. And federal figures show that there is no “very big” influx of Congolese migrants of any kind, let alone former prisoners in particular.
But media databases contain no corroboration for these stories. And human rights organizations that monitor the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring Republic of Congo say they know of no evidence for them.

“I’ve not heard anything about emptying of Congolese prisons,” Lewis Mudge, Central Africa director for Human Rights Watch, said of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Amnesty International senior researcher Abdoulaye Diarra, who studies the Republic of Congo, told CNN in a text message on Friday: “To my knowledge and according to other Congolese organisations, there has been no mass release of prisoners from Congolese prisons” in the Republic of Congo.

two US organizations that advocate reduced immigration levels in search of any evidence for Trump’s claims about emptied Congolese prisons, since these groups sometimes serve as sources for Trump’s rhetoric about the border. One responded: “We don’t have any information about this one way or the other,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

And the pro-immigration Migration Policy Institute, which said it is unaware of any country emptying prisons to send people to the US, noted that Trump’s stories about “the Congo” are just the latest in his series of unsubstantiated claims about foreign countries supposedly emptying prisons and mental health facilities for nefarious migration purposes. “This week, the Congo. In the past, Latin America.
Tomorrow, likely another country,” spokesperson Michelle Mittelstadt scoffed of Trump’s claims.

Indeed, Trump has a habit of making his false or unsubstantiated stories more dramatic or colorful over time.

His claims about “the Congo” are part of a long-running series on the same theme. He has for years made baseless claims that various foreign countries are intentionally sending violent and otherwise undesirable people to the US as migrants. During his 2016 presidential campaign, for example, he made such claims about Mexico.

Then, while running again in 2023, Trump repeatedly told an unsubstantiated story about mental health institutions in South America, including “insane asylums,” being deliberately emptied for nefarious migration purposes. Trump’s campaign was unable to provide any corroboration for that story, though he had repeatedly cited a supposed media report.

Trump also made unproven claims in 2023 about migrants being emptied out of foreign prisons. By January 2024, he was referring specifically to migrants who had been prisoners in “the Congo.” Then, by February 2024, he was claiming that the Congolese migrants acknowledged having been incarcerated for “murder.”

He has never provided a specific source for any of these remarks.

Mike Pence won't endorse Donald Trump in 2024: 'It should come as no surprise'

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday he will not be endorsing his former boss Donald Trump in the 2024 general election. Appearing on Fox News, Pence said he "cannot in good conscience" back Trump as there are "profound differences" between their views on various issues. Pence, who...
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

"During my presidential campaign, I made it clear there were profound differences between me and President Trump on a range of issues, not just our difference on my constitutional duties that I exercised on Jan. 6," Pence said.

Trump's pressure on Pence to reject the 2020 election results (which Pence said endangered his family's life on Jan. 6) prompted a rift in their relationship, and prompted Pence to argue on the campaign trial that his efforts to overturn his election loss should be disqualifying.

From the comments:
Guy who worked closely with Trump for 4ys. as vp will not endorse him, he knows him very well, strong message here.

90% of trumps former cabinet will not endorse him, in addition to his own VP.

They all saw first hand how uniquely unfit he is for that office. How is that not resonating more with R voters?

Cult.

Endorsed by zero previous presidents. Not by his own VP. Unequivocally the worst choice for the job in the history of candidates.

Most people that were on Trump's staff who were of any consequence won't endorse him. They know what he's about.

Trump had an astounding number of cabinet officials. 44 in one term is a clear indication of chaos and incompetence. And in the end, only four of them (all seditious traitors) support his candidacy.
 
It's just funny that the Trump dementia Communist propaganda(I mean that, taking a blatant deception like taking a 2 second clip and editing it to feed and addiction was a staple in Communism) didn't work and how silent Democrats have because after the massive failure on that propagated angle. Dude's out campaigning non stop and the Commie(you also arrested a political opponent while you call others Nazis) can't only find an edited 2 second clip. Good stuff @fishonjazz and @Red

True! 40 were part of the soros Clinton Obama Epstein Weinstein Castro deep state. They weren’t truly MAGA.
 
This is a good ad. It also quickly highlights some of the big accomplishments under Biden. It’s pretty cool to see a president actually accomplish something regarding infrastructure rather than becoming a punchline. It would do the country and tbh, the GOP in the long term, a lot of good if Dems retained control of the senate and White House and regained the House. The moderate adults in the room should run the country until the GOP sheds its extremism.

LOLOLO imagine basing your entire political spectrum off of a political add. Like what accomplishments exactly? It' literally doesn't mention a single accomplishment. Not one. I like the comments that they had to turn off because intelligent people called him out. It's hilarious.

White House Pounces on Trump for ‘Unhinged Antisemitic Rhetoric’ After He Says ‘Any Jewish Person That Votes for Democrats Hates Their Religion’

Yet you didn't say a word when Biden said the same thing about blacks though did you? Is there anything you're not a hypocrite about? No there's not.
 
Heres Democrat Supreme Court literally saying the first amendment is wrong because people say stuff she don't like. She's literally admitting that the government should be able to suppress speech.

"My biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods," Jackson said to Louisiana Solicitor General Benjamin Aguiñaga.
 
@Red I mean, it was widely accepted and pushed in this very forum that "a dead baby is a dead baby" about the massacre and rape of innocent Jews by Hamas. And that children "****ed around and found out" when Hamas raped, tortured innocent and murdered over 1200 Jewish children and teenagers.... People in this very forum have been siding with Hamas meanwhile Democrats are literally marching in the street screaming "from the river to the sea". Hell, as we speak Biden is cozying up to Hamas and telling Netanyahu to stop hurting his poor little terrorist he and Obama created. I've always wondered how Nazi Germany has happened but were seeing it first hand in universities where they are attacking Jews and antisemitism is at an all time high.

I noticed you stayed silent.... Care to explain just another day in your hypocrisy? Where were you when Democrats were saying "a dead baby is a dead baby"?

Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Roberts took similar positions, and even Gorsuch towards the end of the session. The vote will be 7-2 or 8-1 (not sure about Thomas). Government is allowed to communicate with platforms.

Who's stupid?

I guarantee you that this is not Republicans... This is the alt-left which has now become the Democrat party.

The letter to UC Berkeley cited a “riot” that took place last month on campus organized by Bears for Palestine, an anti-Israel student group, that resulted in shattered glass, assaults on Jewish students and the cancellation of a lecture by an Israeli speaker.

Being 'woke' is linked to unhappiness, anxiety and depression, study finds​

Putting the now-ever-so-slightly toxic word itself to the side for a moment, a new study suggests that – whether the person’s opinions are laudable or correct or not – attitudes towards social justice issues may very well be linked with heightened levels of anxiety and depression.
Research from a Finnish academic suggests that stronger alignment with pro-social justice stances correlates quite markedly with increased instances of both anxiety and depression. These results recently went to print in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology.

Author of the research, Oskari Lahtinen, who is a senior researcher at the INVEST Research Flagship Centre at the University of Turku, started with a sample of 851 people, then scaled it up to 5,000 to get a more representative view.

Imagine if the KKK were doing what Democrats are doing. Imagine the outrage.... And rightfully so. Imagine how angry and downright pissed off you'd be if this were people wearing a red hat. Could you imagine MAGA hats forcing a shutdown of a Jewish event like you Democrats did? You guys would spend years, literally years, talking about it. I'm not being my usual facetious there either, you guys would be absolutely irate and obsessive about it. .Fish get's angry about punching a punching bag yet stays silent when his president says the exact same thing about Black people. Again there is not a single issue that fish is not a blatant hypocrite. He is the master at manufactured outrage.

I KNEW you werent going to condemn it and make excuses. I was going to bring up if you would condemn it or not but i wanted to make a point that you wouldn't. If it were Trump voters you would. Huh? And Yes it is Democrats the sheer courage it takes at you trying to play stupid, these are not definitely Trump supporters lol. Heck I've seen it in this very thread. "Dead baby is a dead baby" when referring to the massacre and rape of Jewish children and teenagers when a terrorist organization invaded a country and killed over 1200 and raped innocent kids and teens. Now it's not the entire Democrat party but it's a lot of it. Funny how you ignore this intentionally because there is not a one sentence answer you can use and John Oliver didn't tell fish what to think about it.

Keep in mind it was the Democrats that rioted over 200 times and murdered children, teenagers, and minority Cops over a rapist and a career felon. Violence and rioting is nothing new for Democrats.

And lol at taking a piece from over a month ago... Biden has now unsurprisingly changed his stance and sided with Hamas. He needs to pander to the 320,000 people he let in secretly and unvetted. You know the ones who we now know plan to commit terrorist attacks that Dems crave? And to be clear I want no part in your Democrats 2nd war and lust for death either. I miss Trumps approach of America first and peace. Something Democrats hated. They used to love peace, now they have a disdain for it.
