What I really love about some of you people is that when confronted with things you don't like, you just ignore them and say they're wrong. But I'm sure you calling everything here hogwash has extensive grounding in reality, which I would be absolutely delighted to hear
1. Did you not read what I wrote about WW2. Do you not think human shields were used there too?
2. Then you should know that Trump has given Putin two week deadlines for peace again and again without any repercussions for Putin for not meeting them, parroted Kremlin talking points and hampered the Ukrainian war effort
3. National Park Rangers protect the US's natural heritage and your land (as you are a member of the public, national parks are your land) and preserve endangered species.
4. It doesn't. Does "all criminal prosecutions" read differently to you?
5. It seems to work fine for police forces across the world.
6. It isn't. Learn to read lil guy, 30 year low means something
7. In that case we can continue this when the appeal is finished
8. It is if you want accurate weather predictions for, oh I don't know, hurricanes and floods? Not that there have been any big ones recently. And FAA cuts are only an issue if you want effective air traffic control to prevent plane collisions
9. Proven as in we know they exist. That's how oil conpanies know where to build their wells. I don't know where you got the 200 year figure from, but it doesn't apply to oil. If it's for coal, I regret to inform you that your car won't work if you put coal in it.
10. If the bottom 20% pay 0 income taxes, that means they make less than $30k a year. 20% of Americans make less than $30k a year. The living wage in the poorest state is $43k a year. And that doesn't strike you as odd? That's not even covering wealth by the way
11. It is Trump's call. Nobody is stopping him from releasing the files. They exist, and he said so himself in his campaign he would release them.
1. The above image is a trans athlete in women's wrestling. Disgraceful, I know. He did that because Texas Law requiring him to participate in the gender category he was born in forced him to, because he was born a woman
2. I don't want open borders. I want moral treatment of immigrants because they are human, as well as equal treatment of rich migrants and poor migrants.
3. Trump right now is trying to get the Fed to lower interest rates to increase growth. The Fed has refused to do so in favour of keeping inflation low. Trump, in retaliation, has tried to fire its governor and attacked it repeatedly. The 2022-23 inflation spike was a global phenomenon cause by food and oil shortages thanks to Russia's illegal war, disruption due to the pandemic, and stimulus funds aimed at restarting the economy after lockdown
4. The US has 80% more rapes per million and 91% more murders per million, despite having ten times as many prisoners per capita than Finland. Maybe it's time to rethink the idea that being tough on crime only will solve everything.
5. People don't get abortions because they feel like it, or because they want to party more or some bullshit like that. Until you're a woman faced with a child you never wanted and can't afford, do not.
6. In an ideal world, we wouldn't tax any income below $100,000 per annum. We don't live in an ideal world. However, if we were to tax the trillions in assets companies like Blackrock, banks and speculators hold, as well as the wealth of individuals like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, we could afford not to tax tips or overtime. Unfortunately, Trump seems set on doing the opposite
7. Trump has not ended the Ukraine war, not ended Gaza, and threatened war with Venezuela.
8. Neither Biden nor Obama ever made any attempt to repeal the First Amendment.
9. 1% of people regret their transition surgery. 20% of people regret knee surgery.
No I don't have the list. That's why I would really like to see it. Unfortunately, a certain Donald Trump appears to be withholding it for no apparent reason.
Yes tax avoidance is immoral. You are knowingly not paying your fair share towards infrastructure, schools, health, defence, clean water, electricity, etc. How is this a debate
1. 80% of deaths due to the war in Gaza have been civilians. For reference, 2/3 of the deaths suffered by the Soviet Union in WW2 were civilians, whilst the Germans actively considered slavs subhuman, sent out death squads to kill them and deported them to camps. If 80% is not genocide, what is?
2. Don't play stupid.
3. You asked for illegal or wrong things they've done. I'm listing morally wrong things they've done, as is the focus of the image I posted
4. Yes it's illegal "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial" -- 6th Amendment to the US Constitution
5. If sending out people in masks and unmarked vehicles to take people from their homes without a trial, you've made a secret police. That is a secret police
6. Still morally wrong, crime in DC hit a 30 year low in 2024 and preliminary data shows a further drop for 2025, so it's also a lie
7. The federal courts ruled Trump's deployment of the guard in LA was unlawful
8. 400 FAA employees were laid off in February, and the National Weather Service fired 600 workers and suspended weather balloon measurements for a short period
9. Climate change is proven to be real, any scientist worth their salt will tell you this. In terms of technically recoverable reserves, the world has 1.66trn known and an estimated total of around 2trn barrels. OPEC estimates 105m barrels per day are consumed, so let's bring that down to 100m for simplicity's sake. That makes 36.5bn barrels a year, or around 55 years worth of oil. If demand doesn't grow.
10. The OBBBA gives the top 1% of Americans a cut of $65,000 whilst the bottom 20% get a cut of $111 on average.
