Did he ever hear about DNA evidence, that shows without a doubt that all humans are the same species?
Not only that, we are a species of very little variance! Especially considering how widespread across the globe we are.

But he was probably Christian, and thinks DNA evidence is false, because it doesn't confirm his racist views.

Too bad USA doesn't help Ukraine instead. USA even promised they would, when Ukraine gave up their nuclear arsenal!
Even under Biden the help was only halfhearted. The amount was significant, but the abilities of the equipment Ukraine was allowed to get was very restricted. Obama too wasn't any help in 2014 either, and let Russia take Crimea without issue!
It's not just Trump and republicans who are guilty of making USA untrustworthy. Democrats are part of the problem too.
We need to kick USA out of NATO, and invite other including non Atlantic democracies to join instead. USA has stated they are not sure they will honor article 5 (The musketeer article), and if they won't, they cannot be part of NATO anymore. Because that's the whole purpose of NATO.

Buildings with just one emergency exit stairway are capped at three stories in San Francisco. Anything taller requires two stairwells.

That text makes little sense, because if there is only one stairway, that's the friggin stairway, and not an "emergency" stairway.
I know most American buildings have elevators even if they only have 2 floors, but it's weird to call a stairway that is often faster to use, when it's just a few floors, an "emergency" stairway, just because it's the only option when the elevator doesn't work.

Especially if the elevator and stairway are in connected shafts, it's quite obviously not enough to only have 1 stairway, there needs to be a 2nd stairway with it's own separate shaft in case of fire, because you can't jump out the windows at 4 stories height.

Europe AND North America.
Nuclear war was as much a threat against North America as it was against Europe.
USA was also attacked by Japan in WW2, so USA too could conceivably be attacked again.

EU was to created in huge part to maintain peace in Europe.

To be fair the numbers are from June 1st, and are for the month of May. So a tad newer than you graph that state March as the latest.

By the standards of what democracy is. Namely representing the will of the people. You simply can't do that when there are only 2 options.

Yes all Republicans should do that. It makes you STRONK!

If it's too much chaos for you, you need to buy a bunch of crystals, and place them in strategic places on your body, and let the crazy flow through you.
This way you adapt to your surroundings, and everything will make sense without even thinking about it. And you definitely don't want to read scientific papers, they will just confuse you.

Hallelujah to the brave new world.

The numbers are 3 weeks old, but they are still good. 😋

AFAIK it's not uncommon for a small upstart company for instance, to rely on friends, because friendship helps working together.
I know it can smell a bit like nepotism, and we know that's bad.
But there are actual good reasons people prefer to work with people they know. So I think it will be just fine, as long as you are not fighting over the same girl. And as long as you are not trying to exploit the friendship to gain advantages at work.

No they don't, their voting clearly shows the opposite.

I'm not saying Trump isn't awful, and things aren't bad. I also clearly state democracy in USA isn't safe yet.
But Trump is failing more than he is succeeding.

I am not American, but I really hope they will work to improve democracy. The concept of a president controlling the entire administration is both awful and not representative of the population. A democracy that result in a 2 party system is only barely a democracy.

No it's not easy, and it's become steadily worse for half a century now. Rights are not given, they are fought for. And American rarely fight, but accept corporate offers, and fail to unionize over and over again. I'm not blaming you, I know USA is split, but when opportunities arise, American workers fail to grab them.
The problem of course starts with the fact that USA is a dysfunctional democracy. And again nothing has been done for half a century to change that.
The Democrats are better than the Republitards, but they are still part of the problem.
Grassroots need to be build to power. Maybe No Kings could be part of that?
Anyhow USA lost about half a century of progress, so now the hill is steep. Employers have taken power. But there is still power of the masses, if only enough Americans decide to fight back.

As long as Americans don't unionize, and can't even prevent a president Trump, it's acceptance of the status quo as a society.
I do not mean it on an individual basis. I couldn't care less whether you as an individual accepts it or not, if you haven't tried to join others that want change, you have essentially accepted it.
Accepting it, doesn't mean you can't be unhappy about it. Acceptance is all about the actions you take to help change.

Says the guy where every day can be a day off if he chooses it to be.
Remember when he said after Obama had been golfing, that when he became president, he wouldn't have time to go golfing. And then as president he golfed more in a month than Obama did his entire 8 year presidency!

Anyone who trusts Trump on anything he says is a moron. Most European countries have twice the non working holidays USA has, and typically 5 weeks paid holiday. In USA all the privileges are to the employer, and the stupid Americans accept it? 🤦‍♀️

It was beautiful to see how everybody were bored out of their mind. Nobody enjoyed being there. 🤣

He is probably trying just that, because it's common knowledge that a war normally has the effect that people back the current president/administration while fighting an exterior enemy.
Problem for Trump is, that he can't find a war to fight that is plausibly legitimate. Only a small minority is buying it with Iran, and he doesn't have any other options.

You are right, it has not collapsed yes, but it is collapsing. And I don't think it's possible now for him to finish it. Things looked much worse a month ago.

Trumps attempt at creating a fascist dictator regime is collapsing.

1. The Military parade clearly showed he doesn't have the backup of the military.
2. People are beginning to mass protest, and the no kings protests were way more successful than the parade.
3. Republican politicians are becoming more reluctant in their support.
4. Courts are often judging against him.
5. When Trump ups the ante resistance increases.

That means Trump doesn't really control any part of the nation the way a dictator is supposed to, and his attempts to achieve it are failing.
Obviously the flawed democracy of USA is not safe yet, but if the trend continues, there is hope USA may get through this eventually.

Spoken like a true sociopath.
