In the case of Trump? No. The dude is unpredictable.

If I am a betting person, and if Trump doesn't arrest him sooner, I would bet that Newsom will run for president near 2028, and that is when Trump will have him arrested.

The article must be old. The share button designs are like 40 years ago.

Pretty sure Ukraine and Russia's citizens did not require visa with each other until the war came.

Well, you guys have guns. Time to use them what your founding fathers want you all to use them for, if it comes to it.

We are both immigrants. But my ex-housemate is Eastern European while I am of Asian origin but I grew up in the West.

My ex-housemate is nice and helped me a lot before. But I don't know if you are aware of the stereotype about Eastern Europeans that they can be xenophobic. The only diversity they have is with fellow white Eastern Europeans with different ethnicities and speaking different languages. They tend to misunderstand why the West is more welcoming of non-white immigrants (I don't have to mention the West having had a globe spanning empire before which explains why). So, my ex-housemate exhibit some xenophobia. I am mentioning the term lightly because IMO xenophobia is one level lower than racism, which I see more as hateful and purposeful. I know some people who express xenophobia are tolerant to foreigners but seems to draw a line that "there are too many" (as if we can control where people want to go; and it is climate change, illegal invasions and wealth inequality are what cause mass migration). My ex-housemate express similar sentiment but afraid coming off as racist in all occasions.

I am neither disparaging or excusing my ex-housemate, but IMO being a lonely, single man made him go into the right wing rabbit hole, perhaps unintentionally, considering he does a lot of exercise and fitness. Unfortunately, the right co-opted the health and wellbeing improvement to groom many people, both men and women. It leads confusion to many people's heads who are not quite fully on board.

I wonder now what my ex-housemate thinks of Trump. He is one of those centrist types who thinks excessive power from one side needs to be counteracted by the other, but mostly pay lip service to the right. He dislikes the right in his country which ruled for 13 years and voted centre left, but supports Trump and right wing parties in Europe because of too much immigration in the West. But at the same time, he supports Palestine. My ex-housemate means well for the most part, but he is one of those men who are vulnerable to disinformation.

Because American politicians would rather spend the money on engaging international wars. NASA will only get the funding it desperately needs if one of US' rivals one up them, like how the launch of Sputnik spurred the race to the moon.

Enclave when?

I guess you are right. It is the local farmers who wants to profit from shortage.

Newsom is a neoliberal, but the lesser evil at the very least.

The real name of Youtuber Alternate History hub is Cody, and he is probably in his Thirty's by now.

As predicted he will counter threatened and as is should. Blue states essentially fund the red states. Let's see if the red states will survive without the wealthier Democratic states' funding.

I am not sure about other industry, but in the pharmaceutical industry, several companies decided immediately to set up more manufacturing sites in the US after the tariff threat. But I think it is because these companies are producing weight loss drugs, which is selling like hot cakes since last year, so I think they know that the huge sales will offset the manufacturing cost and tariffs. These weight loss drugs are new and the patent rights is good for 15-20 years. Some industries are just lucky they are insulated from the worst of tariff impositions, while others are not so much.

The RMTU in Britain has also been phenomenonal. Their leaders are natural public speakers and could easily shut down criticisms and biases from the media trying to grill them and their strikes.

Well, I called it. People thought Tesla stocks will still recover but so long as he is the CEO, the stocks will only go down.

The old labour became a victim of its own success. As wealth increased, they have had to court the growing, largely moderate middle class in the past thirty years. Although now that the middle class is shrinking but wealth inequality widens, it is time for the left to return to its working class roots.

Only because of de-industrialisation that began since the 1970s and 1980s without offering alternatives. There is a reason for the rhetoric that "the working class have been abandoned" exists.
